B Our Vehicle and Saddlery Talk.:
The Texas Stockman and
banner says:- “Bexar county
now has 175 miles of sp:endid
new- macadamized country roads.
The Nelson contract was finished
a few days ago and at the meet-
ing of the county commissioners
Tuesday, .1 une 20, Frank New-
ton, clerk of the county court.,
paid to J. P. Nelson, the c *n-
tractor, the sum of $50,000.
This was the last payment, and
the county now does not owe a
cent tor its magnificent system
of roads. . . -
The contract for building the
road was let to J. P. Nelson, Oc-
tober^!. 1903. The contract
called for 120 miles of macada-
mized road. To do this amount
of road work the county issued
bonds 10 the amount of $500.-
000. Contractor Nelson started
on the work soon after being
awarded the contract. He pur-
chased an entirely new outfit for
road building, and this equip-
ment- has been constantly in use
in the Bexar county road work
since thatT time. His outfit is
probably the most complete in
the State of Texas. The roads
he has built in Bexar county
prove that the very best methods
have been applied "to their con-
struction.
When President Moore, of the
National Good Roads Associa-
tion, was in San Antonio recent-
ly he said that San Antonio has
as good roads as any county he
had ever visited. Although" the
contract called for only 120
miles of road, Mr. * Nelson has
actually built 175 miles. Not-
withstanding this fact he com-
pleted the work and was twenty
days within the contract time.
The roads are ten inch rolled
gravel crown and 1G feet wide.”

Mrs. George W. TayloT of Eajton, Gib-
son Co., Term.;says: “ I had had chronic
diarrhoea for six years. I tried every-
thing 1 could hear of and had consulted
several physicians without avail. My
husband, bought me a bottle of Pe-rn-na
and I began to improve at once. I can
do anything I ever could, and eat any-
thing withoutinconvenience; and when
I say if it had not been for Pe-rn-na I
would now be in my grave, I do not
think I exaggerate.”
Chronic diarrhoea is nothing else than
Catarrh of the bowels.
The remedy that will cure catarrh in
one location will cure it in all locations,
If it be an internal remedy, operating
through the system. Pe-rn-na is exact-
ly such a remedy. It is an internal

Frahk P. Holland has made a
signal success of Farm and
Ranch and we note with pleas-
ure that on August 1st he will
begin the publication of a new
monthly periodical, Holland’s
Magazine. This publication is
to be a home magazine of a high
literary character designed for
general circulation throughout
the South and Southwest. At
present no such a magazine ex-
ists. The Southern arid South-
western states should read ip-
support a first-class magazine of
the right quality and. if the
methods pursued by Col. Hol-
land in making Farm and Ranch
are indicative of those to be pur-
sued in the new magazine it cer-
tainly ought to be a winner.
His policy of “making good
rather than making promises” is
fully exemplified in the advance,
