Dr. Byron King, head of the
King School of Oratory, in Pitts

at Lenoir College last Friday and
Saturday nights. He seems to
be able to do anything, every

can auit it to every conceiveble
mood of human nature. He is
roaBter of mimicry, and even
ventriloquism is one of his side
lines. The . self-satisfaction of

"The Raven" is hia masterpiece.
It gives one a new understand

Catarrh.
Which usually commences with
cold in head, Hay Fever, rapidly in

Catarrh Remedy (a douche comes

relieved. The price, $1.00; three
for $2.50, and guaranteed. Sold by

Beware of Ointments for Ca
tarrh That Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
tha whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces, such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reliable
physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can
poasibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by 1)'. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains
no Mercury, aud is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In
