LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
30C MINIMUM FOR COTTON
Tells how to loosen a tender corn or
callus so it lifts out with
out pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authori
ty to use a drug called freezone,
which the moment a few drops are ap
plied to any corn or callus the sore
ness is relieved and soon the entire
corn or callus, root and all, lifts off
with the fingers.
Freezone. dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even ir
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle" of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid one's
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist has
n't any freezone he can get it at any
wholesale drug house for you.

Mt. Pelier church is next on my
list of neighborhood churches that I
remember sixty years ago, and that
is about the age of this church. This
church was formerly a part of the
old Bethel congregation and in the
parting of the ways left a consider
able feeling against this church by
the Bethel people, and a little linger
ing of the old flame still continues
The reason of its organization was
to give religious privileges to the
negro population, a considerable num
ber of whom were owned by the
near-by- farmers. It was organized
I think, about the year 1852. It was
built by the late Mr. Monroe, who
built Bethel and several other church
es, and it was said of him that after
building the churches he was ready
to supply the pulpit, as his three
sons studied for the ministry.
The first minister to supply this
church was the Rev. Hector McNeill
father of your Judge McNeill,. His
voice was low and inarticulate, but
soft and sweet. One of those novi
homines, with a strong voice and
abundant manners, came into the
neighborhood, and when the colonel
ana oia mr. uuncan lvicrnavter, wno
were both deaf, heard him, they
were carried away, and didn't rest
until they called him in place of Mr.
McNeill, which so infuriated, the Mc
Neill faction that they all withdrew
their membership and rejoined old
Bethel. This left Mountpelier, as
you might say, hors de combat.
After this episode, things dragged
on slowly. At this time, I remember,
there were only five members be
longing to the church. Presbytery
generally appointed a committee to
visit the different churches and ex
amine into their spiritual and fin
ancial condition. At that time the
church had but one elder, and one
of the questions asked, "Are your
eldership on speaking terms?" This
elder had to admit that he was on
friendly terms with himself! Rev. J.
P. McPerson was stated supply and
after him came Rev. Malcolm Mc-
Nair. Then Rev. John H. Coble took
charere and all the recalcitrants came
back to the lold and prosperity reign
ed. Mr. Coble reorganized it, and in
a few years the membership ran to
30 or 40. Then came another calam
ity, when most of its prominent mem
bers moved off for different purpos
es and left the church flat again. In
the meantime a little town sprung up
a few miles distant, and as most of
its members were from that vicinity
t.liev moved the organization over
there, and built a nice brick church,
but the name Mt. l'ener is sua re
tained.
Tn nassinsr the old church it is sad
to see it vacated and one remembers
the many pleasant times under its
shady groves.

"I feel it my duty to recommend
Peruna to all sufferers of catarrh or
cough. In the year 1909, I took a
severe case of the la grippe. I then
took a bad cough. I had taken all
kinds of cough remedies but got no
relief. I then decided to-try Peruna.
I used five bottles. After taking five
bottles my cough stopped and my
catarrh was cured. My average
weight was 115 and now I weigh
148. Any one suffering with ca
tarrh in any form I will advise them to
