Promotion of Good Man.
It seems that the Seaboard Railroad
will promote faithful and prompt em
ployees as was proven last week when
thev transferred Mr. W. M. Bullard
from Oxford to Sanford where the pay
is much larger than here. We must
say that our people deeply regretted
to give up Mr. Bullard and his inter
esting family, and they are followed
by their best wishes for their happi
ness and prosperity.
As Agent of the Seaboard Mr. Bui
lard proved a very popular official and
won the high esteem of our people as
he was ever courteous and obliging
with whom he had dealings and
made many friends for the Seaboard.
It is a pleasure to us to say that no
railroad ever had a more faithful and
more highly satisfactory Agent than
Mr. Bullard as we know he studied the
interest of his company and is an ex
ception among railroad men as to j
courtesy and accommodation, which
is a winner every time.
The editor congrati; lates friend Bui
lard upon his promotion bnt deeply
regret to lose him from Oxford, and
trust his lines may ever fall in pleasant
places.
Mr. Bullard is succeeded by Mr.
Elmore, of Henderson, quite a pleas
ant young man who we hope will ever
study the Interest of his patrons as
well as that of tne nne uompany ne
represents.
Sudden Death of Mr. Lester Wright.
Verily it is a true saying that in the
midst of life we are in death, as our

when be had anotner attacK ano aiea
in a few minutes surrounded by his
grief stricken wife, daughter, son and
son in law, Co all of whom the deepest
sympathies of the community go out
in the hour ot sudden oereavemeui.
Mr. Wright was 55 years of age and
a memoer 01 tne metnouisc uuureu
and was numbered among our best
citizens. He was a merchant in Ox
fold for a number of years and later
clerked for the E. H. Crenshaw Co.,
and most highly esteemed by all who

in the county and his death will bring
sorrow to their hearts.
He leaves behind a devoted wife
and two sons, Cortez Wright, of Bur
lington, Roy Wright, and one daugh
ter, Mrs. . o. Avereit to grieve over
his sudden taking away.
Mr. Wright was an Odd Fellow and
honored among his brethren, and no
doubt his funeral and burial will be
conducted this Friday afternoon un
der their supervision.

Mrs. Henrietta C. Olberg, superinten

I Lea, Minn., as follows :
"This spring I contracted an aggra
vating cold, having been exposed to the
damp weather. Catarrh of my throat
and head followed, which persisted In
remaining, notwithstanding 1 applied
the usual remedies.
"Reading of the merits of Peruna in
the papers, I decided to try.it and soon
found that all that has been said of your
medicine in such cases is true.
" I am very pleased with the satisfac
tory results obtained from using Peruna,
am entirely well, and consider it a most
valuable family medicine."
HENRIETTE C. OLBERG.
Summer colds require prompt treat'
meat. They are always grave, and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt-
ness and surety with which Peruna
acts in these cases has saved many
lives. A large dose of Peruna should
be taken at the first appearance of a cold
in summer, followed by small and oft
repeated doses. There is no other rem
edy that medical science can furnish, so
reliable and quick in its action as Peruna.
