It is to be wondered when they get nervous, rundown, weary and ___. Debility of any kind leads to catarrh, and catarrh will attack that organ which is weakest. There are tens of thousands of suffering women who could be relieved of their ___ if they were fully conversant with the power of Peruna in relieving catarrhal ailments of every character. DO NOT FAIL TO READ MRS. FRY’S NOTABLE EXPERIENCE Mrs. Sarah Frye, 204 Sylvan Ave., West Asbury Park, N.J. writes: “I have no words to express my gratitude for the wonderful cure Peruna has done for me. It is a Godsend to all suffering women.” “I was sick over half my life with systemic catarrh. Nearly all my life I have spent all I could make for doctors, but none of them did me any good, but since I started on your Peruna one year ago, I have at last found relief. “I hope and pray you may live long to help others as you have helped me. Instead of being a whining drug store. I am growing fat and doing well.” Professional Cards JACKSON AND ORANGE PROPS. C.Y. DELIES? Gen. Manager SUCCESORS to B.F.

Kansas City, Mo, June 28 – Judge Wofford today saved the life of a Negro who had been convicted of murder and appeared for the death sentence. The Judge changed the sentence to one of 30 years in the penitentiary. The Negro was William Cooper _____? An unintelligent looking COLUMN THREE POORLY DRESSED MAN. His black face looked troubled as he faced the Judge. “How old are you?” asked Judge Wofford. “Twenty years.” “Well, “ said the Judge, “you’re guilty of murder all right, but you’re a poor, ignorant, ___ ___ black man and I don’t want to hang you. You have no friends. You have no money. You have no one to plead that you were insane when you killed this man. If I sentence you to hang you will hang just as sure as there is a God in heaven. There will not be a whole lot of women circulating petitions to save your neck. There will not be a lot of foolishness writing letters to the Governor to save you. No one will send you flowers. You’ll just be forgotten until the day of your hanging and then they’ll hang you. You are guilty of murder in the second degree, aren’t you?” The Negro had been looking in wonder at the Judge. He expected to be sentenced to death. He stood leaning forward, his mouth open. “Yes, Jedge, Your honor, I’se guilty of that,” he answered quickly. “You are. Then I’ll sentence to 30 years in the penitentiary.” The Negro did not dance but he came very near it, and he said as he sat down: “Thank you, Jedge” Cooper killed James Taylor, another Negro. Taylor had killed two men in his career, and was know as a bad Negro. ______________ PROCEEDINGS _________ Butler County Sunday School Convention.

Quite a number of delegates from the various schools of the county were present. The attendance was not what it should have been, but what was lacking in quantity was made up in quality, there being very few present except earnest Sunday School workers. We were favored with unusually good addresses by W.A. Helm, Rev. H.M. Guyan, Rev. B.W. Napair, L.S. Stinnett and N.W. G___?, Rev.S.

RESOLVED, By the Butler County Sunday School Convention, assembled at Morgantown, Ky. June 30, 1906.

Bramlett Mary Cherry, Secretary COLUMN FOUR EXPOSITION BOULDVARD Magnificent Driveway to be Constructed From Norfolk to Jamestown Exposition Grounds. Norfolk, Va. – One of the objects of international expositions abroad has been to leave a permanent memorial of the celebration. This is especially true of the French World’s Fairs The Trocadero Palace, the Hall of industry and the Alexander bridge will stand for centuries as memories of the several expositions which created them. A far less spectacular and yet perhaps more valuable reminder will be left after the Jamestown Exposition as passed into history. The South has not been noted for good roadways, on the contrary, it has gained an ____ fame by its maintenance of bad roads. In connection with the Tar Centennial the only cit and county of Norfolk will combine forces and construct a model boulevard linking Norfolk with the Exposition. To the limits of the city the avenue will be asphalted. The six mile stretch from the city limits to the Exposition grounds will be an example of the most approved methods of macadam road building. The boulevard will be one hundred and twenty-five feet wide. There will be room for a double track electric car line in the center and broad spaces on either side. It will traverse a very picturesque route, alongside and over streams and through numberless small groves. The rights of way have been secured for the entire stretch, and the route selected is the one preferred by the Engineer of the Good Roads Bureau of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington. Automobiles may travel from Norfolk to the Exposition Grounds in twenty minutes with ease, and observe the restrictions regarding speed. The electric cars will take no longer and on each a perfect roadway vehicles drawn ____ will ___ excellent time. One of the ___ or the ___ ____ ___ in this matter relates to the transportation of troops. Such bodies of ____ as will land at Norfolk will have either to mare’s or ride to the Exposition encampment. A road of such character as the Exposition Boulevard will enable them to march easily, add thus a picturesque feature will be added to the celebration, for troops will come at frequent intervals during the entire Exposition period. The President of the United States was authorized by Act of Congress to invite every state to send its militia to the Exposition. He has already 1 and a proclamation to this effect and it is ___ ___ ___ that most of the states will accept.

COLUMN FIVE WHY WE DO SOME THINGS _____________ Certainly Not Because We Look Pretty When We Do Then. A man does not take off his hat to a lady because he looks nicer without it, declares Gilbert Chesterton in the Illustrated London News. The instance of ___ men would be alone sufficient to upset such an explanation He does it because you must positively do something when you meet a lady or your whole civilization goes to pieces and taking off your hat is easier than taking off your necktie or lying face downward on the pavement. The primary point is that you must do something; not that you must do something beautiful. And as long as cultivated people cannot grasp this fact they will find their efforts quite futile in dealing with, what they often consider the dullness of the middle classes, or the vulgarity and morbidity of the poor. In so far as the bourgeois thinks it more important to wear a Sunday hat than a becoming hat, he is perfectly right. It is more important: the religion of the tribe is more important than the pretty appearance of Mr. Jones. In so far as the charwoman thinks it more important that her husband should have a “proper” funeral than a pretty funeral. She is perfectly right. It is more important: decorum is as permanent a human sentiment as art, and a much more pressing one. Any healthy savage would understand the charwoman’s sentiments exactly and perhaps alarm her with demonstration of barbaric approval. He would also understand perfectly the sentiment of a Sunday hat. I believe in savages myself; I think that in a great common sense and moral minimum of humanity. There is nothing, which I so sincerely respect in savages as their widespread and generally ascertained disposition to wear top hats. ____________ THE TEXAS WONDER Cure all Kidney, Bladder and Thematic troubles, sold by all druggists, or two month’s treatment by mail for $1.

COLUMN SIX Darrell of the Blessed Isle BY IRVING BACHELLER Author of “Eben Holden” “D”ri and I,” “Silas Strong,” ect. ILLUSTSRATED BY HEYER Competent judges consider this the best of Bacheller’s novels. For this reason and because we like it, finding it sweet and wholesome, we have secured the serial rights for publication in our columns. Roderick Darrell is a most extraordinary character who takes a strong hold on the reader and Sidney Trove-well, you can’t keep your mind off of him. The mystery surrounding both Darrell and Trove at once arouse the keenest curiosity, and you become deeply interested in Sidney Trove from the moment of his meeting Polly- after that “curious interview, the worlds of small account, the silences full of that power which has been the very light of the world.” “and whatever was to come, in that hour the great priest of love in the white robe of innocence had made them one.” “Now and ever after he was to think and tarry along in the road of life and look behind him for the golden towers of memory.” No; we can’t tell you how it turned out.
