Everything must be given to an administrator of the Burgess estate. The city attorney gave as his opinion of the ordinance submitted by Alder man Wood- last Frday night, that it was unconstitutional.

GNORANC 5 -al the breath Stopping- a harm.. Quick cough medicines are dangerous. When cough appears it is the condition that must be cured and the cough stops. Lulling the sensitiveness of the nerves lets the discharges of a cold into the lungs. Pe-ru-na cures the condition and the cough ceases. Pe-ru-na operates directly to heal the congested mem branes and assist nature. Dr. Hartman's treatment of throat and lung diseases has made him famous, His un varying success is due to his great prescription, Pe-ru-na, which may be secured of any druggist. Write to the Pe-rh-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for Dr. Hartman's book called Chronic Catarrh. It is mailed free, and con tains a full explanation of cough and all diseases of tne mucous membrane. iae Dattie is nan wuu these things are clear anil practical. Mr. W. T.

SIGMA ALPHA RECEPTION. Many Guests Entertained by tKe Mys teries of Gypsy Land.' The Sigma Alpha society of the Asheviiie College for Young Women held a very pleasant reception yester day from 4 w 10 p. m. The feature of the reception was the representation", of gypsy land. The young ladies were costumed to represent gypsies, and their costumes were varied and unique. Inside the door of the college a itent was represented, in charge of two gypsies, whose hands you muse cross with silver to gain ad mittance to Gypsy Land. Passing through tent, the guests found themselves in Gypsy Land. The rooms were all tastefully decorated in green. The gypsy queen and fortune teller, Endora, sat in her booth at one end of the room, arid was the center of attrac tion for many of the guests during the entire reception. The gypsy kettle, from which the coffee was served, was also a source of wonderment. Two gysies had charge of the refreshment booth, and dispensed excellent home made candy and delicious lemonade. All the candy on hand was disposed of early in the evening. Refreshments were passed 'to the guests by four other gypsies. Miss Lida Wilson, Miss Edna Babb and Miss Bessie Johnson furnish ed music on mandolin, guitar and piano during the afternoon and evening.
