Deafhess Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the deseased 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
/>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
? MI 11 - J I - 1 J
Will DO cumptJueu iu Lioeu .ue pupular
demand and Mr. Latimer will recieve
the thanks of a grateful people.
Fearful Odds Against Him.
B ""ridden, alone and destitute.
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. At length he
tried Electric Bitters. It put him
on his feet in short order an^ now
he testifies. "I'm on the road to
complete recovery." BeBt on earth

all forms of Stomach and Bowd

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 tree in the summer

The only kind of consumption
to fear is " neglected
consumption."
People are learning that consumption
is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of

regular doses.

Obstacles.
She knew she'd like that fellow, if he
only wouldn't Bmofce?
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.
A Remedy Without a Peer.
*T find Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets more beneficial
than any other remedy I ever used j
for stomach trouble," says J. P.
Klote, of Fdiua, Mo. J^'or any disorder
of the stomach, biliousness or
constipation, these tablets are without
a peer. For sale by The Kaufmann
Drug Co.
Before we can sympathize with
others we must have suffered our.
selves.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Aids Nature.
Medicines that aid nature are always
most effectual. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy acts on this plan.
It allays the cough, relieves the
lungp, aids expectoration, opens the
secretions and aids nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition.
