said,,. had greatly improved.

simple laxative herbs with pepsin.

In spite of the fact that Dr. Cald

Oxford Orphanage
The Oxford Orphan Friend sas:
"There is considerable sickness at
the Orphanage, but happily it is in a
mild form. We have about 115 or
120 cases cf flu, 3 of pneumonia, and
about 20 of measles. -So far no
case is critical and hope that none
will be. The sick are given the best !
of care and the situation is -well. in. Mrs. Gray Simpson of Norfolk, and

in saying the peak of flu has been
Mr. George Parks Robinson. The
ceremony was performed by the
bride's pastor Rev. R.y C. Craven.
The bride wore a handsome going
away suit of midnight blue with cor
sage of roses and orchids. She was
attended by her sister Miss Bedford
Rountree.
The groom is a prominent young
business man of Charlotte.
Many handsome presents attest
the popularity of the young couple.
After a supper Mr and Mrs- Robinson
left for Charlotte where they will?
make their home.
Among the out of town guests were
Mr. Moses Rountree of Chapel Hill,
Mr. and. Mrs.
Mount Airy.
Z. V.- Robinson, of
"Tokay," the famous vineyard
passed, as no case developed the day at Fayetteville, where light Virginii

Trained Nurses
The Oxford Orphanage is well
equipped to care for the sick children
at the institution. The trained
nurses are Miss Mattie Booth, of
Durham; Miss Berdie Dvnn, of Ra
leigh; and Miss Ramie Williams, or
Durham. Assisting them are Miss
Jennie Short, of Roanoke Rapids;
Miss Edna McNeill, and Mrs. Ham

Mrs. Nelson's Pets
Mr. W. D. Brooks, of Sunset, who
was on a visit last week to Mrs. W.
R. Nelson, a sister of Mrs. Brooks
who lives in Norfolk, relates an in
cident which attracted his attention.
Mrs. Nelson has a fine flock of
chicken, said Mr. Brooks, and her
fine' Mai tees cat is a close companion
and guards them day and night He
says that the rooster and the cat are
close friends and that he saw them
several -times embrace each other af
fectionately. The cat and the chick
ens retire for the night and leave the
chicken house at the same time in
the morning.
Dare wine is now made, has been pur
chased by William E. Housell and
George Draper of Rochester, N. Y.,
who will-use the vineyard for making
grape - juice and will establish a coun
try club and recreation park at
Green's pond, on the property.
You cannot mistake the words of Mr. W. W. Northrup, of 908 Fourth
Street, Sioux City, Iowa. He is enthusiastic about his present health and
the merits of PE-RU-NA and wants everyone to know it. Here is a re
cent letter froti him : - "
"PE-RU-NA is worth its weight in cold
and then some. I used to think it only a wo
man's remedy but have changed my mind.
I had a courrh, especially in the moraine
After using ha!f a tottfe of PE-RU-NA was
much better. I would ccngh up chunks of
phlegm end mucus, my eyes itched and both
ered ine. Judging from the symptoms given
ia your almanac it was catarrh. My stomach
Is in much better condition since using your '
medicine."
"Use this testimonial, if you wish. Don't
hesitate to advertise the merits of PB-RU-NA."
(Signed) W. W. NORTHRUP.
There .are thousands just like Mr. Northrup, skeptical at first but
convinced by a trial of PE-RU-NA.
DON'T BE AN UNBELIEVER.
If your trouble is of a catarrhal nature, try PE-RU-NA, then tell your
friends. It is fine after an attack of grip or Spanish Flu.
