For the Presbytery. Deafness Cannot Be ( tired by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness Is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Euatuohlan 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 restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten aj'e caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will givo One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circ u lars, free. F. J.

X.?The sad news of the departure of Mrs. Sleanor Steuert will be received by many sorrowing friends. The death angel visited the home of Mr. J. H. Carlisle last Mon day evening, Nov. 1th, and carried the spirit of this good woman into the great beyond. She was nearly 70 years old nt the time of her death. Her maid en name was Aull, born and raised in the city of Lumens. When quite a little girl she gave her heart to Cod and attached herself to the Methodist Episcopal church and she always lov ed her church and did what she could to supply her pastor's needs. She took a delight In visiting the sick and ministering to the wants of the needy. Mrs. Seibert at the age of IS, was married to Mr. Robert Sichert and they remained In Lau tens until 1870 when they bought land here where she has lived ever since. She leaves nine chil dren to mourn the loss of a sainted, good mother: Mrs. Mamie O'Dell, Mrs. Freddie Carlisle, Mrs. Elolsc Compton. Mrs. Eleanor Qrnnt, Mrs. Lucia Mob hit. Mr. William and George Sichert, <?r this community and Mrs. Saida Sichert of New York, and Mrs. Carrie Cogdill, of Marlboro county. |lor funeral ser vices were conducted at Mt. Bethel by her pastor, K. W. Dubose on Tues day evening, after which her body wnss laid to rest by the side of her husband who had preceded her to the gravo about ?_'."> years. Her death was not :?. surprise as she has been badly afflict ed for ten years or more, having had a stroke of paralysis that long ago. The family have the sympathy of the entire community.

When asked why be moved so soon he said "To take advantage of this pretty weather as he has about finished gathering and had | not much to do." IVIij Not ??Elmorc" Count).' An agitation is In progress for Ihc formation of a new county out of parts of Laurons, Union and Spnrtnnburg and i's advocates would have it called "Mus: rove," because the little battle of Musgrove Mill In the Revolution was fought on Enorcc River within the territory of the proposed county. Whether or not the county he cre ated is not a question with which we are Concerned but. if it be created, why call it "Musgrove"? Does not the battlefield commemorate Itself, or, If it does not, will not the Daughters of the Revolution erect a stone so that the spot shall not beforgotten? There was no prominent colonial family named ?.Musgrove." Perhaps the "Mary Musgrove" of Kennedy's novel once lived, but "Mary Mus grove." the heroine, is a creation of the novelist's fancy. The district to be included in the proposed county gave birth to one of the most distinguished of South Car olinions, certainly the most distin guished man that Laurens county has produced. Senntor Franklin II. El more. Senator El more was born on a plantation, in Jacks township and to name a county in tils honor would he wise and appropriate.
