McDowell went i ) Weldon, called by Dr. I. E. Green lor the purpose of consulting over the small pox situation in the county. Besides the investigation made by Dr. Green himself, Dr. Ten dletor, who has recently made obser vation ot the disease in Colorado, said that th3 cases at Weldon are undoubt edly small pox. This is true, no doubt, of the disease all over the State where it has bee" arfjudgid by the phsiciaus to be small p xx ; ;;nd the pbj-sicians in their con sultation Monday found no way of stamping it out of the county except by ger. oral vaccination. The county commissioners, by spe cial c;i!l of chairman W. F. rnrker. olesewhere printed in this issue, will be in session in Enfield next Tuesday, and it will doubtless be a question with them as to whether or not they declare for compulsory vaccination, statis tics from countries in svhich vaccination has been made compulsory show largely in favor of the compulsory system. We suppose that the chief question with she commissioners would be the matter of cost th.3 county. LOCAL NEWS. Use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup at once, if your child Las croup or bron chitis.

Among recent letters from persons of eminence is the following from Governor Atkinson of West Virginia. The governor says: Charleston, West Va., March 9, 1898. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O. Gentlemen: " I can recommend your pre scription Pe-ru-na as a tonic. Its reputation as a cure for catarrh is excellent, it having been used by a number of people known to me witn tne very best results." Very truly, Gov. G. W. Atkinson. Catarrh is the national disease. Not an American family is free from it. The search for relief and cure is con stant. Experiments of all kinds are continually made without result for good. Ignorance of the causes and nature of catarrh is universal. Catarrh is elusive, persistent, penetrating. It Ill J J - v 'V1J . ' For this national malady there exists the national scientific remedy Pe-ru-na which for forty years has been doing a grand work. Pe-ru-na is the unflinching foe of catarrh anrl rwTwimt i may exist. It is the prescription of Dr. Hartraan, President of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, O., who gives personal attention, without charge, to a voluminous correspondence on the subject of catarrhal diseases. Dr. Hart man's books on catarrh are mailed on application. All druggists sell Pe-ru-na. Got. G. W. Atkinson Of West Virginia.
