THE LAST DAY.
Pupils Not Having Certificates of
Vaccination Will Not Be Admitted
to School.
Today Is the last day on which pu
pils of tho public sojiools of this city
enn be -vaccinated In time to be ad
mitted to school Monday morning. Tho
time limit set by the board of health
expires this evening. On Monday,
each pupil must bring to school u cer
tificate signed by n city physician that
lie or she has been successfully vac
cinated or hns bad smallpox. Children
not having such certlticntes will not
be allowed to attend school nnd it
will be tho duty of the principals and
teachers to see that tho law is ob
servcU. If a child la absent from
school on account of not being vac
cinated, it Is probable that the truant
otlJcor will call upon tho parents and
quote tho law upon the subject. Thero
will probably not be many cases of
children sent home, however, as near
ly all tho pupils of the schools In this
city have been vaccinated during tho
past two weeks, und the doctors nre
having a much-needed rest.
Ho Changed His Mind.
The members of the board ol! revis
ion of taxes and appeals are still
chuckling over an Incident that oc
curred on Wednesday evening and
which n-iftly illustrates a predomi
nating phase of human nature. An
Irato citizen from tho Second ward
came pushing his way before tho
hoard, and vigorously started in to
state his case. He pulled his assess
ment papers out of his pocket and
waving them In tho air. commenced:
"Now, look here. I don't propose to
stand this any longer. You follows
liavo been piling up my taxes and this
year I am assessed a couple of bun
dled more dollars than I was last. I
haven't made any Improvement:
havn't even built a fence, and my
property has depreciated In value.
Xow, I ain't a-golng to pay this as
sessment." Tho board Is used to this sort ot
thing. In a mechanical manner one ot
the members hunted up tho man's as
soHscmcnt last year and then took this
year's papers up and compared, them.
Then a surprised look gave way to im
amused one, and ho ventured;
"Well, If we make thin year's assess
ment tho same as lout, will It be nil
light?"
"Now, you're talking! Of course It
will, I'm glad 1 cniuo down hero and
made a kick," and tho protesting eiti
zen'n fneo became wreathed In smiles,
"U'oll. all right." said tho searcher,
"but the book hero says that your as-f-epsnient
lust year was $250 lilgfier
thaii it s. this time."
"What's that'.'" A lum-led glance rc
veulid that truth-was spoken.
"And you s-iy you are willing to pay
the fame ns last year without a kick?"
pin-rued the tax adjuster.
"Weil I guess not: Give mo tiioso
papers. I'll pay this right away, I
Rues?, before thn assessor raises tho
ante." And tin- Second ward man
wandered out In the corridor with his
lint on the back of his head and Ills
hand Chasing through his hair. Ho
wore a dliferent look from what ho did
when Jio entered, and he spoke In a
Joyful key lo a couple of friends ho
papscd, who weie ruining In to Imvu
their nsf-osmoiiiH reduced.

CHURCH WORKERS MEET.
The Ladies of the 1'lrst M. E. Chuich
Spend a Pleasant Afternoon.
The Indies of the First Methodist
Episcopal church had a social ufter
noon yesterday nt tho residence ot tho
Misses Butler on Canaan street.
Among tho afternoon's pastimes was a
series of games In which guessing nnd
skill each played a part. The games
wore arranged In this fashion: On a
table (stood seven cornered bottles,
numbered, and each lady had a chance
lo Inhale tho odor and guess at the
contents, having but three minutes to
arrive at a conclusion, which was dif
ficult, as each contnlncd a different
mixture. If successful there she passed
to tho next table, which contained a
pot of beans, nnd she was provided
with two wooden toothpicks to llsh out
as many as she could in three minutes.
If she got over the minimum number
allowed she passed on to the nextvtablc
whero a number of needles and spools
of thread reposed. Hero sho had to
see how many needles sho could thread
In three minutes. At the next stopping
place sho was given a piece of paper
and a pencil nnd had a chanco to draw
it house, but with her eyes shut. The
last table contained pins and she there
had to seo how many pins sho could
stick back on their orlgnal paper In
three minutes. Only three ladles suc
ceeded In getlng through all tho man
ouvres and they drew slips of paper
for a prize. Mrs. W. F. Nye won this,
a handsome silver-handled hat brush,
A large number of ladles were present
and they had u very good time, Ue
freshments were served In a dainty
inniiner.

the big constable was pet upon by
his two companions, nnd life was bJlng
made miserable for him when Chiof of
Police McAndrew arrived on tho spot
and arrested Gllhy and Baker for
drunkenness and fighting. Hull man
aged to got away. The thiol? escorted
his two prisoners down to the city
jail and locked them up to give thorn
a chance to become sober.
Although Giiby was being set upon
vigorously by Baker and Hull, ho did
not seem to want to fight and was
doing his best to keep them oiV when
arretted. The chief thought ha waa
too intoxicated to be at large, how
ever, so ho put him In "a safu place for
the night.

The Peoples' Lecture Course.
When tho trustees of the Berean
Baptist church announced several
months ajro that they would present
to the peoplo of th city a high-grade
lecture course, without charging any
admission fee, thero was a littlo sus
picion that cither the talent employed
would bo voryordlnary or money would
bo lost In tho entorprlse. Three lec
tures have already occurred, and it is
acknowlcdgod on all sldos that tho tal
ent has been fully up to that Intro
duced In any of tho high-priced courses
of former years, and tho offerings hai'o
thus far been eiiual to tho expenses.
For next Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings tho trustees will Introduce
Rov. Mr. Getty, a. widely known Luth
eran clergyman, who will glvo an Illus
trated lecture on Martin Luther. Tills
lecture Is tho most exponslvo enter
tainment of tho course, yet the trus
tees will limit tho audience to tho
numbers that can be comfortably seat
ed In full vlow of tho screen, believing
that tho limited audlenco will appreci
ate tho comfort afforded them and
make an offering thnt will protect the
officers against loss. A few tickets arc
yet to be had at somo ot the business
plnces, but to bo sure of securing a
seat, 'phone or send a card to tho par
sonage today.

newspapers to make inquiry Into tha
facts.
The following written statement
from tho Judge himself sets forth the
facts.
"Greensboro, Ga., March 3d, 1C0O.
"Some time ago I contracted a se
vere cold which settled on my lungs
and in my head. I tried many rem
edies, all of which gave me no relief.
I concluded that my enso was catarrh
of the head and lungs, and seeing
Peruna so highly recommended I be
gan using it, experiencing the very
best results from the first bottle.
"I contineud using Peruna for a
short while, and have never felt the
least symptoms of catarrh since. Pe
runa is certainly a good medicine,
and deserves the high praise which
is given it by the general public."
