H A Meyer, f.lerk of Board Good Reason for His Enthusiasm. When a man has suffered for several days with colic,diarrhoea or other form of bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by one or two doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when ljfe is threatened. Try it when in need of such a remedy. It never fails. Sold by all dealers. . . I 11.- .

I Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remediea Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling i sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is I entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and 1 unless the Inflammation can be taken out I and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.

LEO UMNINGS. Neighborhood News Happenings 1 Told Paragraphlcally. I Leo. August 10:?Messrs R Leo , Carter and Willie J Brown went , away Saturday for a few days' rest ? ? I can't say where, but will let you know later. Mr and Mrs R A Brown took a , pleAsant trip to Atlanta, Ga, last ' week, returning home Thursday. \ Mr Stanley Prosser, now of Columbia, spent a few days with his I parents here last week. We are al- ] ways glad to see Stanley; he is one of the Prospect boys who is making good. The long dry spell has been broken by refreshing showers, which helps everything. Corn and cotton have suffered greatly from the drought. I don't think there will be nearly so much corn made around Leo as was made last year. Mr Lee McDaniel and son of Hemingway passed through Leo Saturday going to Lake City on business. In passing he paid a compliment to the new R F D boxes, saying some were braced and some on a "lean." Mr McDaniel is one of the most substantial farmers of his section. Mr and Mrs J Ed Godwin of Lake City and several friends passed Leo Sunday afternoon in their large touring car. Mr J J Eaddy is a candidate for the House of Representatives in Florence county. When he goes up to Columbia I am expecting some changes to be made in the deer law. We are glad to report that Mr J A Carter of Vox is able to be out again, after a protracted illness, also Mrs G T McAllister of Leo is up from a long spell of sickness. W W B. SUTTUNS sir l imbs.

Among the fourteen office-seeker3 are two from Lake City, Mr J E Stokes for the House of Representatives, and Hon W H Whitehead,Jr, for the Senate,opposiug Hon J W McCown, the present incumbent.

A large crowd of political "fans" went to Florence yesterday to attend the campaign meeting of the United States Senatorial candidates. The tobacco markets here held good sales yesterday and prices were about normal. Owing to the European war, tobacco had slumped considerably during the past week by reason of the fact that two of the largest companies called off their buyers, who were again placed on the floor yesterday, buying the "golden weed" at its average price. Almost every farmer seemed great- I ' : ly pleased and surprised at the increased price. The many friends of Mr E C Spann and family regret to learn of the continued illness of Mrs Spann and wish for her a speedy recovery.
