Doyle of Anderson, and another the next day at the same hour from Dr. E. C. White, pastor of the First Baptist church at Anderson. These two have been more generally commented upon and very favourably so, than any thing of a like nature for a long time. They were perfectly at home . and well knew what they were talking about.' I, They gave expression to many thoughts which it is hoped will bear fruit later on. The performances of the three days at 3:30.and 8.30 . were much more of the variety sort,and created much amusement. The I best part of the each was that they were interspersed with short lectures which were fine, particularly the [closing one, the last night by Dr. Sears. Upon the whole the Cliautuaqua was a success. Troupe.

There la only one way to cure deafnesB, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining .of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless 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 but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. Ohio.

CABINET OF FRANCE FALLS| Paris, Oct. 28.? Rene Viviani, Premier of France, resigned to-day, and his resignation was followed by the collapse of the entire Cabinet. Aristide Briand, a Socialist, was offered th?~premiership by President Poincare, and immediately took steps to form a new Ministry. The resignation of Premier Viviani is attributed to . the Balkan crisis. His was^the SfiP-rtrirl r^firowionf the Cabinet'for the same reason, the first being that of Foreign Minister Theophile Delcasse, who resigned on October 14. M. Briand offeied the portfolio of Minister of War to General Gallieni, Military Governor of Paris. Deputy Paul Painleve, President of the Marine of the Chamber of Deputies; M. De Frycinet, Leon Bourgeois, and Emile Combes were summoned by M. Briand and offered places in the new Government. M.Combes, who was formerly Premier of France, accepted a place in the Government, but he will be without any definite portfolio. The post of Minister of Marine was offered to M. Lacaze. ; Ribot To R?t?ini>rl M. Ribot, Minister of Finance, will probably be retained in that office in the next Cabinet. I Jules Cambon, formerly in the French diplomatic service, has been offered the post of General Secretary. If M. Briand is able to form a new OR BEAUTIFY 1 s Roof in Upper So rWeC; ] ' g from -Our Truck passes rig MltUU HOME OUT Government, he will probably assume i< the portfolio of Foreign Minister. | t According to official circles, M Viv- j 0 iani resigned rather than reorganize the Government. I Since the retirement of M Delcasse ' ^ , M. Viviani has been handling the duties of the Foreign Office, as well as q those of the Primate. His resigna- Q (tion left the Government without a ^ j guiding hand at a critical time. ^ Consternation was causfed in French I . J| | political circles-by the resignation of ^ I the Premier. It was outward evidence I of dissension in the French Govern- ^ 'ment over affairs in the Near mast, ^ , similar to that which has been prevailing in the British Cabinet. ^ | Couldn't Get Together. For the last fortnight it has been evident that all was not well in the Ministry. The first break was the resignation of the Foregin Minister. n ! However, when the Chamber of Dep'uties gave the Cabinet a vote of confidence, it was hoped that the fac- ^ tions in the Ministry could get together and patch up their differences. These hopes proved futile. ^ t The opposition is criticising the ! ^ Government for allowing the Teuton- ! ?( i "He Who Bui H Advice WiD B We invite you to ccb Goods, Shoes, Clothii ]j|!
