[genera All present indications are that there will be no county political campaign conducted in Anderson county this year. Even the candidates, do not appear to favor the idea of having a campaign, and the oters are not loathe to state that they do not favor the idea. The general opinion appears to exist that the voters can decide the question of who they wish to cast their bal lots for witnout neanng rne candidates do any mud-slinging on the stump. It is possible that one meeting will be arranged to be held in Anderson on some Saturday, but with this exception, it is not probable that any public meeting of the candidates will take place.?Tribune EV 5S?'

I ; CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot!I reach the diseased portion of the ! ear. There is only one way to cure j | catarrhal deafness, and that is by a < I constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed | condition of the mucous lining of. j the Eustachian Tube. When this | j tube is inflamed you have a rumb| ling sound or imperfect hearing, ( i nnrl when it is entirely closed, Deaf-' , i ness is the result. Unless the in-!' ! fi;;mmation can be reduced and this'1 tube restored to its normal condi-1 < 1 tion, hearing will be destroyed for-' j ever. Many cases of deafness are ' | caused by catarrh, which is an in- . ; flamed condition of the mucous sur-j, ! i'-;ces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts, through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. j?
