Deafness Cannot Be Cured I by locat applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is I only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu- I cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you hafc-e a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and uritss the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing tut an inflamed condition nf the mucous surfacea rWe will give Ore Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

It has been the writer's privilege to visit several sections of North Carolina and Virginia during the past year and to note the progress along this line. While nearly all sections visited are busily engaged in the construction and improvement of roads, the bulk of funds foi the construction is derived from bond issues, a thing that our people have not yet thought much of, Only recently three of our counties have voted bonds for road work amounting to more than two millior ; dollars. A large part of the roads ' to be constructed with these funds will be of the permanent type, suet as concrete, brick, or bituminous Such roads are, of course, excludec from the present consideration, anc tuKiot ore naoH frri Hn i? plpnrlv Hp Ii """" ? ? ^ ? fined in two general classes: Th< 1 upbuilding of strong and enlighten I ' ed public sentiment, and the evolu | tion and adoption of an approve* | and well defined road system. Th< - former will take time, but is devel oping rapidly. The latter is com paratively easy, but will requir patience, thoughtfulness, and t some degree sacrafice, for politic must be entirely eliminated. With our limited funds, we ca hope to do little in the way of cor struction, but a system whereby th 1 funds we already have may be use for the construction of permaner bridges and culverts and for th I proper and efficient drainage of 01 present roads coupled with a provi | ion for maintenance, would go fs i toward reducing the cost per tc mile and at the same time accelera ing the rate per hour as shown t the speedometer. North Carolir is now setting the pace for mail tenance revenues by the impositic of a graduated wheel tax.
