Superintendent Roberts with his road force made a good job of cuttiDg down Factory hill on the Tally Ho road. They excavated about 13 feet and raised the road on each side of the long hill.

We feel sure it would receive the heartly approval of the people and make more friends for good roads in Granville. Town Election.

Smith Is Treasurer of the East Side Ladles' Aid Society. She Is connected with a number of benevo lent organizations and takes an active interest in the Tenement House move ment. She recently appeared before a committee of the Legislature at Albany in favor of Tenement House reform. In a recent letter written from 844 Seventh avenue, New York City, she says : - "Care and responsibility shattered my nervous system. Like other wo men under a great strain my system gave way. My food didn't seem to have any taste. My sleep was dis turbed. I was Just as tired In the morning as I was at night, and there was a lazy, weak feeling over me all day. A friend requested me to try Peruna. I am glad to be able to say that after taking six bottles ot it I feel anew woman. My stomach is now in perfect order and I sleep well." FRANCES M. SMITH.
