Cross Hill Notes.
Crops aro Buffering very much from
drought. Early corn is greatly stunt
ed, and unloss there is .plenty of rain
vory soon tho crop of corn will be like
tho crop of an old gentleman in Abbe
ville "it will shoot and miss the mark."
Cotton although small is healthy and
tho fields are clear of grass.
Gardens are about burnt up and tho
Blackberry crop is very short .
Mr. Wm. Leaman, candidate for
County Supervisor, is confined to his
homo by a very severe Carbuncle. lie
hopes his friends will not forget him.
Wo hopo ho will soon be well and able
to tako up the canvass and by earnest
attention mako up for lost time.

coss in thoir campaign for Congress.
Wo wish both of them could be elected.
Wo think it was Gov. Tillman made
tho remark that tho campaign of 1890
"waa a campaign of education" and we
think tho present campaign will bo
equally as instructive, *if tho great
number of candidates, who want to tell
tho pcoplo something, is a fair index of
what is to bo tho character of the
campaign. Tho Prohibitionists went
to Columbia and como baoli itomo,
"Tho King of Franco marched up the
hill and down again."
Wo aro glad to see the liberal spirit
evinced by tho Stato Executive Com

Deafness Cannot Do Cured
By local applications, os they cannot
reach tho dlsoased portion of tho car.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an Inllamod con
dition of tho mucous lining of Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets in
tlanied you havo a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will bo de
stroyed forever: nlno eases out of ten
aro caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inllamod condition of the mu
cous surf neos.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot bo cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
