Platti at tha Filth Ayenue Hotel, New York, by the "Brethren" of the Amen Cor ner." How this organization got Jts name we do not know, but it is com posed of the Albany -correspondents and the principal political writers on the newspapers of New York. At this particular dinner there were about 400 guests present, many of them men of note, among them Archbishop Ireland and Mayor Seth Low, while President Roosevelt was only absent because of previous engagements. The account of the evening's fes tivities states that "A roar of merri ment greeted the parading through the room, at the opening of the dinner, of an enormous picture representing Sen ator Tlatt as a Sunday-school teach er, addressing a class composed of Pres ident Roosevelt, Gov. OJell, Lieut. Gov. Woodruff, Es-Gov. Black and Senator Derew. As the picture was borne around the roc m the assemblage joined in singing "The Sunday-School." The singing of the '-Anthem of the Amen Corners" served as a prelude to the introduction of the guests of the evening by Chairman Riggs." On reading these words we were so shocked and amazed that we could aardly believe our own eea. We ask ed ourselves, can this be a Christian aatlon? Did the men who took part in this performance realize the . mean ing and import of their cctlons? The word, "Amen," is a sacred, religious term, sanctified in its use by God bim sslf, and is not only constantly read from the pages of the Bible, but is in daily use in private and public devo tions. It is a most sacred word, set .ipart for use in the worship of God, and to associate it with a politico-social organization is purely and simpb sacrilegious. Then, again, the Sun J jy school Is s religious institution, designed for the .-raining of the young for the better lifd1 beyend the grave, and to have It held up to ridicule, as was done on this oc casion, is a sad commentary upon the religious spirit of the age. We make bold to say that for the President and other prominent representative men of our country to countenance such a per formance is a disgrace to the nation, and a reflection on its -Chief Magis trate. Thd Evil's of Debt. K Selected. Young man, keep out of debt. Ayoid it, if pofgibie, as you would a pestilence. As the Presbyterian aptly says, debt is a troublesome factor in human life. It is easier to get into it than to get out of it. Wisdom says avoid it ; run not into it hastily or suddenly ; or if it has been incurred pay it off as soon as pos sible and keep out of it. Every man thinks he is best judge of bis circum stances and dees not take kindly to ad vice from outsiders, but the wisest of us would do well to heed the voice of experience. Thousands have suffered because they thought themselves wiser than others. Ruined reputations and business follow heedlessness about go ing into dabt. .Numbers contract a habit of borrowing, and larger and larger sums are obtained until com plete disaster overtakes them ; or if some of them manage to keep things afloat during their life time by vari ous expedients, they leave bankrupt estates behind them and financial ruin to their dependents. Debt is one of the trying evils of the day. Churches and homes suffer from it as well as society and business. There is need to em phasize anew Paul's practisai principle '-Owe no mau anything but to lore one another." Before being taught how to shoot it might be well for the young idea to learn to know when it is loaded.

Rich Sqnare Times. Farming in the Roanoke and Cho wan section of the State is gradually undergoing a great change, and for the better. I istead of cotton fields and corn patches of a few years ago we find a great variety of crops, and the latest improved machinery. Manure spread ers, grain drills, mowing and reaping machines and such machinery a few years ago could not be found on the farms in this section, now they are largely used and the tale for them ia rapidly increasing. Sale of western meat lu this section has decreased fully oa 5 hundred per cent. In ten years while the shipment of beef cattle from here has assumed large proportions, whereas a few years ago raising ol cat tle for market was not attempted. McEdffie's Witch Hazel Foot Healer is one of the finest baby pow des known, cures prickly heat and gevs instant relief. 25 cents.; For sale by E. T. Whitehead & Co.' DAGHiROSVEHOR'SAY "Peruna is an Excellent Spring Catarrh Remedy I am as Well as Ever." i HON. DAN. A. GR0SVEX0R, OF THE FAMOUS OHIO FAMILY. 1 Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in a letter written from Washington, D. C, says : I "Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from one bottle of Peruna, One week has brought wonderful changes and 1 am now as well as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics It is an excellent catarrh remedy." DAN. A. GROSVENOR. In a recent letter he says: consider Peruna really more meritorious than 1 did when 1 wrote you last. I receive numerous letters from acquaintances all over the country asking me If my certificate Is genuine. 1 Invariably answer, yes. "Dan. A.

Browulow, Congressman from Tennessee, writes from Wash ington, D. C, the following : " I have suffered from catarrh of the stomach for several years, and for the past twelve months was in an exceed ingly critical condition. My attention was called tor your Peruna, and I began to use it, and my improvement was noticeable after the first threo days. I have taken three bottles of the medicine and I feel satisfied that I am now almost, if not permanently, cured. In connec tion with the Peruna, I have used your Manalin for biliousness and torpid liver. I regard it as the best medicine for this purpose that X have ever used. Having been benefited so much myeelf, I give you this statement, that others may bo likewise benefited." W. P. Brownlow, M. C, Jonesboro, Tenn. Mrs. Klmer Fleming, orator of Iteser voir Council No. 108, Northwestern Le gion of Honor, of Minneapolis?, Minn., writes from 25.13 Polk street, N. K.: "I have been Mrs. Rimer Fleming, Minneapolis, .Mill n. j A Count Commissioner's Letter. Hon. John Williams, County Commie. sioner,of 517 West Second street, Dnluth, Minn., says the following in regard to Pertma: - " ' As a remedy for catarrh I can cheer fully recommend Peruna. I know what It in to suffer from that terrible disease and I feel that it is my duty to speak a good word for the tonic that brought mo immediate relief. Peruna cured me of a bad case of catarrh and I know it will cure any other .sufferer from that dis ease." John Williams. Miss Mb t tie 1.. Guild, President Illi nois Young People's Christian Temper ance Union, in a recent letter from Chi cago, ILL, says I troubled all my lifo with catarrh In my head. I took Peruna for about three months, and now think I am permanently cured. I believe that for catarrh in all its forms Peruna 1j the medicine of the age. It cures when all other remedies fail. I can f heartily recommend IV run a as a catarrh remedy." Mrs. Elmer Fleming. Treat Catarrh lu fipring. 1 The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, net winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early r-nring months the cure will le prompt and iormanont. There can bo no failures if lVruna la taken intelligently daring tho favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from tho Kystem wherever it may bo located. It cures ca tarrh of the Htomah or .-nvel3 with tho same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and ratis factory results from tho use of Peruna, write at onco to Dr. Ilartman, giving a full statement of your ea,o and he will bo pleased to give you hlu valuable ad vice gratis.
