The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, September 3,* 1902. Up Against Family Trusts. Owing to a Nebraska smash up I got left in a little Nebraska town one night about a year ago, said the drummer, according to the Detroit Free Press, and the way I came in contact with a trust made my hair stand up. It was a wretched town and a still worse hotel. My room was small and my bed was as hard as a board. w I got up feeling mad, and after a miserable breakfast I was ready to boil over. The boiling came when the landlord presented me with a bill for $4. "Is this correct?'11 asked as I looked at the figures. "Entirely so," be replied. "Then you are blamed old highway robber." The lord had three sons, and when they began to mix in I turned on 7em and gave 'em some red hot talk. TTUOU A DliUp^CU 1UI vicajiu IIUD i/iu man, who turned oat to be & justice of the peace, sat down in his ch8ir and calmly announced: "Hear ye! Hear ye! I now declare this court duly opened. James have you any business!" "I have," replied the eldest son, who announced to me that he was a constable and that I was under arrest. He then made a charge against me, one of the other brothers testifying as to my language, and his honor fined me $10. As the third brother hand't taken any part, I turned to him and sarcastically asked: TV UC1D UU JUU WUiO iUi "Mef'he replied. "Oh, I'm the town marshal, and as your are evidently a desperate character, J. shall have to lock you up for a couple of days and then run you out of town. "It was a nice little family trust, you see," smiled the drummer, "and I couldn't beat it. I was locked up for forty-eight hours, but I bad to pay the hotel bill and the fine, and when I was set at liberty and got my mouth open to say something else the jailor laid a hand on my arm and whispered; U Jn Jf T Am lit a s\l<3 mon'a JL/UU V UU ill. Jk BUI kUC uiu uiau is son-in-law and if yon kick against my jail he'll make your next stop twenty days." Bea&ess Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets 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 destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. / _ We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by eatarrb) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The phenomenal activity in busi ness, which some anticipated would be checked last year by the greatest shortage ever known in the corn crop, 66emB this year destined to be still further augmented by the largest corn crop ever produced, and to this great corn yield will be added a large wheat crop, even if the final outturn be a little less than last year. The average production of corn from 1895 to 1900 was a little over 2,000,000,000 bushels a year, but in 1901 the crop was cut short by the hot winds and the drouth to 1,500,000,000 bushels. The indications for present crop as reported by the Department of Agriculture point to a 1_ n nnn nnn 1 v yield 01 nearly i,ouu,uuu,uuu uubuoid, or over 1,000,000,000 bushels in excess of last year's production and 300,000,000 bushels more than the largest crop ever before pioduced, that of 1836. The indications for the wheat crcp are for a yield of 650,000,000 bushels, and though this is less than the crop of last year, which was the largest ever produced, it is the largest crop ever grown, with the exception of that of 1891 and of 1898, exceeding the average yield of recent years by approximately 100,000,000 bushels. Some experts, however, estimate this year's yield at over 700,000,000 bnQhfllR. Id the aggregate the grain crop of the country will probably be much the largest ever produced, and the abundant rains throughout the greater part of the country assure large production of other crops. In the South the corn crop will probably be cut short to some extent, but the cotton crop will probably more than make up for this, and added to the promise of a fine cotton crop will be an abundant yield of fruits and vegetables. From all parts of the country there come reports of greater prosperity among the agricultural interests than has been known for many years. The high price of foodstuffs, against which consumers have protested, have yielded to the farmers and catmiafiva nfriflfa fn nrVli/tfl (hflT hftd I blC KUOOiO pi (/una kw llwtvu -?-J ? been strangers for many years. The railroads of the whole country are burdened with traffic beyond their ability to handle. - Locomotive and car works are rushed with orders for rolling stock which will tax them for the next year or more. Rail mills already have the assurance of a demand wich will equal, if not exceed, their greatest possible output in 1903. Manufacturers of all lines of iron and steel goods, makers of machinery and kindred interests, the pig-iron producer and the coal operator are rejoicing in a period of unprecedented activity and prosperity. So marvelously great has been owoon nf fhia indnnfcrial and rail HUV Onwv^ V* vwaw ? ? road activity, so great the expansion oi our trade interests, that we are constantly forced to wonder how long such a period of activity can continue, and yet the tremendous increase in business, in wealth and in consuming power of our country has carried thiB prosperity far beyond what anyone would have dared a few years ago to predict. Storms may come and disasters may temporarily overtake us," but at present there seems to be no sign of a cloud upon the business horizon. It is a matter of congratulation that the South is moving forward in this period of prosperity as never before. The world now recognizes as never in the past that this section is to be the scene of the greatest business and industrial activity, and that what we have done is only a faint indication of what is ahead of us.? Manufacturer's Record, Aug. 14. A Rsmarkahlo Record. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufacturers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent tne attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. Ain't Zt So! A youBg man sent a wedding gift to a young lady.

Jerusalem?Past and Present. Jerusalem is literally "builded upon itB own heap " Below the houses, courts and paved streets of the present unkempt city are the distinguishable remains of eight older citizens? those of solomoD, Nehemiah, Herod, Hadrian, Constantino, Omar, Godfrey Saladin, Suleman?writes Walte Williams from the Holy City to his paper in Columbia, Mc. Jerusalem has been beeeieged twenty-seven times, a record of vicissitudes unparalleled in the history of the world's cities. It has been burned, sacked, razed to the ground, its inhabitants of every faith put to the sword, all the woes uttered by its own prophetB against it have come to pass, yet Jerusalem still resembles a great fortress of the middle ages. Seen from the mount of Olives, its j massive gray walls, its flat roofed houses, its mosques and churches with their conspicuous towers and minarets, present a marvelous picture, beautiful, sublime, unfading, from the picture gallery of the mind. The city itself has Larrow, dirty streets. The water supply for its 70,000 people comes in a four-inch pipe. The open courtB are few and small, and the houses are bunched together with no regard for room or H^anliness. Some houses are underground and others on top of the high inclosing walls. The people are fanatical, ignorant, selfish. There is much to detract from the ideal city, but despite all this and more, Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives, is the same in its essential details, the Bame in the framework of its setting, the same in fascinating suggestion, as the Jerusalem of which David sang and over which Jesus wept. Take Care of the Stomach. The man or woman whose digestion is perfect and whose stomach performs its every function is never sick. Kodol cleanses, purifies and sweetens the stomach and cures positively and permanently all stomach troubles, indigestion and dyspepsia. It is the wonderful reconstructive tonic that is making so many sick people strong by conveying to their bodies all of the nourishment in the food they eat. Rev. J. H. Holladay, Miss , writes: Kodol has cured me. I consider it the best remedy I ever used for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. I was given up by physicians. Kodol saved my life. Take it after meals.

"Let me see," said old Gotrox to young Mainchantz, who had just asked for his daughter's hand, "didn't I overhear you referring to me the other night as'an old pirate?'"
