Deafness Cannot Be Cured 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 remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lln Inlng of the Eustachian Tube. When this tuba Is inflamed you have a rum? bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and whan it U entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflamma? tion can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hear? ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca? tarrh, which is nothing but an Inflam? ed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give $100 for any case of ieafness (caused by catarrh) that ?annot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. 8?.. J for circulars free. IV J- Cheney ft Co., Toledo, O. Sold b* druggists, 7 be.

Attempted to Get check* rushed Thai Were Found to He "Bogus"?JYIod to F?h?| Country Negro. Charles I). Donaldson, colored, who claims Savannah as his home, is in Jail here, no doubt a sadder, but wiser, negro. He was arrested on Tuesday by Sergt. Weeks, and after a hearing before Recorder Hurst, was bound over to the circuit court on th?> charge of forgery. It seems that Donaldson attempted to get two checks cashed by a country negro who had Just sold cotton. One of the checke was for $15 and signed ?T T Thatch." The other, a custom? er's draft, was for $10 and signed "Oeo. Granson," Both were made payable to Chas. D. Donaldson and wore on the First National Bank of Sumter. Apparently, he had tried to get other negroes to cash these checks, for several of them told Officer Weeks about the man, and the sergeant came up and arrested Donaldson Just as he was fixing to work his game on the country negro. In the recorder's court he admitted having signed the checks, saying that the parties whose names he used were good for the amounts all right and that any bank would cash the checks if they knew the person hold? ing them. Asked why he drew Ihcm on the local bank, he said -he did not know whether or not the parties had any money in this particular bank, but he knew the checks were good and he did not go to the bank himself because the bank people did not know him. Of course, the story did not look right at all and really had no reason to it, so Recorder Hurst bound Don? aldson over to the next session* of the circuit court when ho will be arraign? ed for forgery. ?Does your back ache?
