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 />1<-kaad ^oafnoBB ia thfi result. and un less 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 nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Latimer Doing Good Work. ; Senator Latimer ie doing a splendid work for himself, his State and country, and is culling laurel wreaths for himself and doing a task the accomplishment of which will be a monument of honor and glory to his memory after he has passed through the shadowy valley more enduring that brass or stone and at the same time be a blessing to generations yet unborn. During the recess of Congress he has been traveling over the country making speeches wherever an opportunity was given in the in teresfc of good roads, or rather aa appropriation from the National Gjyernment to assist in making them so. As we understand it his proposition is that the government appropriate a fixed sum which is to be apportioned among the several States, accoiding to a plan of his own, the details of which has just now escaped onr memory, which, when supplemented by an equal sum, becomes available for the improvement of the public highways of the State, county, township or section, as the case may be. His position iB tenable, his arguments logical and his conclusions sound. He takes the very tenable position that as the government annually makes large appropriations for the improvement of cur riverB and bar bore, then according to all the rules of equity and justice, the government should at least bear a share of the burden of keeping the public roads in good repair, because it uses them as post roads, and to add additional weight to the reason why the national government should keep them in repair, is because it claims and insists upon the right of way over them and all traffic and all travel must be stopped or else take to the woods if necessary. We think that in some respects Mr. Latimer's plan is rather cumbersome, unweildly and unsatisfactory, but regarding the proposition as the beginning of a much desired end, we promise to lend our support in the hope that the agitation will result in much good and that when the question comes squarely before Congress the measure will be perfected and all the objectionable features toned down at least. Mr. Latimer is accomplishing great good along this line and is making throughout the ountry a healthy public sentiment, that will continue to increase until Congress ?

Such, in brief was the condition of an old soldier by name of J. J. Havens, Versailles, 0 For years he was troubled with Kidney disease and neither doctors nor medicines gave him relief.

There is the greatest demand for i cotton pickers in the cotton region of Texas known in twenty years, and in many cities and towns, draymen, delivery boys and cooks and even hotel helpers have been induced by high prices paid for picking to go to the fields. The hot weather of tbe past few weeks has caused all tbe cotton not destroyed by insects to open, thus creating an extraordinary demand for pickers. The crop in central Texas promises to be better than last years. The Sweet Gum.

Another man appealed to her, but he was always broke: She knew that she conld learn to love the teller in the bank, But all the men who knew him, said he fooled with stocks and drank. The one who taught the Sunday school she liked, without a doubt. But he was pretty slow, so he never found it out; The man who loafed around his club she certainly adored, But people said he bad no brains? that's why he locked so bored. And so 6he ecu .ted o'er and o'er the men whom she could wed. In each she found some quality to scorn, despise or dread. She might wed any of them?but then she fears divorce? And, also, she must wait until they ask her to, of course.
