MY OWN FAMILY USE
PE-RU-NA.
HON. GEORGE W. HONEY.
Hon. George W. Honey, National
Chaplain U. V. U., ex-Chaplain Fourth
Wisconsin Cavalry, ex-Treasurer Rtate
of Wisconsin, and ex-Quartcrmaster
General State of Texas G. A. R., writes
from 1700 First St., N. E., Washington,
D. C. as follows:
“I cannot too highly recommend your
preparation for the relief of catarrhal
troubles in their various forms. Some
members of my own family have used
it with most gratifying results. When
other remedies failed, Peruna proved
tnost efficacious and I cheerfully certi
fy to its curative excellence.”
Mr. Fred L. Ilebard, for nine years a
leading photographer of Kansas City,
Mo., located at the northeast corner of
32th and Grand Aves., cheerfully gives
the following testimony: “It is a proven
fact that Peruna will cure catarrh and
la grippe, and as a tonic it has no equal.
Druggists have tried to make mo take
something else ‘just as good,’ but Peru
Ua is good enough for me.”
Pc-ru-na in Tablet Form.
For two years Dr. Ilartman and his
assistants have incessantly labored to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous labors have just been crowned
■with success. People who object to
liquid medicines can now secure Peru
na tablets, which represent the solid
medicinal ingredients of Peruna.

Little Rock, March 7.—Senator Jeff
Davis spent last night in Little Rock
and left this morning for Searcy where
he is scheduled for a speech today.
The senator positively refused to dis
cuss Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton or
the charges that Mr. Rhoton preferred
against him in a speech delivered in
Little Rock last Saturday night. Mr.
Rhoton made an attempt to make an
anpointment with Senator Davis for a
division of time at the Davis appoint

the senator. He says he made several
attempts to get connection with him
over the phone but could get no re
sponse. Mr. Rhoton now authorizes
the announcement that he will be at
Perry ville and Casa on the afternoon
and night of March Id, and insist up
on a division of time with Senator
Davis. The senator is scheduled to
speak at those places that day.

OLDFIELD AT HOME
One reading the beautiful eulogy of
W. A. Oldfield in a recent issue of the
Batesville Guard is struck with sur
prise when turning to the report of the
last election he finds that Mr. Oldfield
did not carry his own countv in his
* S
race for Congress two years ago.
Naturally one will ask: ‘‘If Mr. Old
field is the splendid gentleman and
brilliant lawyer pictured by the Guard,
why did his home people turn him
down in that way?” We make no
comment, but leave the matter to the
unbiased judgment of the voter of the
district.— Brinkley Citizen, March fi.
MANNING AS A PUBLIC SERVANT
The White River Journal, published
in Des Arc, has to say ‘‘a few words
commendatory of Mr. Manning.” as
follow s: ‘‘Mr. Manning has long been
before the scrutinizing and searching
gaze of the people of Arkansas as a
public servant in the halls of-our state
assembly, and his every act and vote
while serving in an official capacity
has reflected honor upon himself and
credit upon his constituency who
placed their trust in him. At all
times while serving as a legislator he
raised his voice and used his influence
in behalf of legislation which would
be of more benefit to the toiler in the
field and the workman in the shop and
factory. The services which he has
rendered the party of which he is a
memtier and the important and useful
measures which he championed while
a member of the Arkansas general as
sembly is worthy of recognition. M.
J. Manning would make an ideal con
gressman. ”
