A mammoth stock ot goods, in every department, awaits your inspection. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one w~ay to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is cansed 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 forevet; 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.

The farmer who has been hard at work all year needs his recreation, so does the workmen and the merchant. By common consent the. time and place of recreation is at the State Fair. It is the opportunity where the farmer and merchant can get new ideas as well as have a good time. This year the State Fair will be held from October 2S to Novem* ^ ^ Der z. ? There is no need to go into tha detailed programme, suffice it to say that every day and every hour of the week will be occupied with varied attractions. If fine cattle and horses have no interest there will be football and theatres, and if pickles are of no moment then there will be flowers and fruit displays. The people of the State appreciate , and realize the efforts that President J. Arthur Banks and his coworkers are making to give a fair that will command State-wide interest. The State is prospering and that ! accounts for the unusual interest being taken in the fair to be held October 28 to November 2.
