Deafness Cannot Be Cured
By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
< ar. There is only one way to cure
neafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
brave a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and, when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; 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 ease of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free.

GROCER’S PICNIC.
There Will Probably be One Given by Rome
Merchants.
Several prominent grocers of Rome
are discussing the idea of a grocer’s
picnic sometime this month.
The idea is a good one, and no
doubt the affair will be gotten up. It
would be most enjoyable, and Rome’s
busy grocers will be glad to have a
day’s rest.

AT THE CAPITOL.
I am in my seventy-third year, and
for fifty years I have been a great
sufferer from indigestion, constipa
tion and billiousness. I have tried all
the remedies advertised for these dis
eases and got no permanent relief.
About one year ago, the disease as
suming a more severe and dangerous
form, I became very weak and lost
flesh rapidly. I commenced using Dr.
H. Mozleys Lemon Elixir, I gained
twelve pounds in three months. My
strength and health, my appetite and
my digestion were perfectly restored
and now I feel as young and vigo
orous as I ever did in my life.

THE ROME TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 12. 1895
TOPICS Os THE TOWN.
Short Stories and (Street Gossip C aught on
the Run.
The Lone Star Weekly, Austin Texas,
the following on Prof. N. O. Connor,
in connection with the seductive charms
of Texas:
Formerly no visitor has failed to fall
down before the shrine of the charmer
and declare himself a life-long devotee,
but during this week I have been made
to think that possibly the newly -discov
ered element in the atmosphere, argon,
has lately been massed is such quantities
in our vicinity as to vitiate the pristine
powers of our seductive air. It is either
that or else our late visitor. Prof. Con
nor, superintendent of Georgia schools,
is an unusually strong-minded man.
There is no man more devoted to the
interests of his own State than Professor
Connor—none with more resourceful ar
guments iu support of the claims he
makes for his home, or with more pro
found skill iu converting a necessity in
to a virtue. During the first day he
dinned into our ears his song of praise—
a rythmic laudation of the land of the
prolific goober and the Rome Tribune.
We thought we had him when we sug
gested that Georgia would soon become
depopulated if the past and present rate
of migration from that State to this was
kept up. He never blinked; merely hes
itated a moment, then with one of his
blandest smiles, replied:
‘ ‘Georgia is unsurpassed as a producer
of patriotic men. Though surrounded
by the blessings of a superior civilization
and reveling in the luxuries kuown only
to the inhabitants of a fattening land,
yet, patriots that they are, thousands
have left the comforts of their sump
tuous homes to jouruey to distant terri
tories and make the wilderness a source
of wealth and renown to the whole na
tion. All honor to them!”
No understanding Jhad been entered
into among us, but there seemed to be a
tacit agreement that we should do all in
our power to work the rabbit-foot on the
Professor before we went to bed; so
when a’smile began to illumine his natur
ally good-humored features, we exchang
ed knowing glances as we mutually con
cluded that he was about to offer tribute
to the supremacy of our climate. But
an unhappy occurance at that moment
awoke him from his reverie, recalled the
fact that a fellow Georgian was present
and sent us all to bed a much disap
pointed lot. Mr. Wright, a young man
who accompanied Professor Connor on
his travels, was present and was seated
on the railing with his head half con
cealed amid the flowering vine of a
sweet honey-suckle that formed an arch
over the entrance. No one can look at
Mr. Wright and fail to recognize his
store of common sense, nor would they
charge him with being easily susceptible
to influences brought to bear upon him.
But stronger men than he have "yielded,
and it is no wonder that at that time he
forgot the lessons he had learned from
the Professor; aye, even his home, Geor
gia, and all save the present time and
his environments. With eyes half closed
and in a softly-modulated voice he sud
denly broke a silence by saying: ‘ ‘Surely
Texas is the grandest— ”
‘‘Ahem!” interrupted the now thor
oughly aroused Professor, as he jumped
up and looked at the startled young man;
‘ ‘I am afraid you have lost considerable
sleep on the road, so we had better re
tire,I’and 1 ’and after an exchange of good
nights the verandah was deserted.
Now Superintendent Rose is a man
who says little but saws wood, and
when I passed him on my way to
bed I was sure I read in his face the de
termination to get even with the Pro
fessor if an opportunity was offered.
The next day he and the Professor
with Mr. Wright and several others
started out to view the wonders of our
city, one of which is the state lunatic
asylum, where they alighted after vis
iting many other places. Superintend
ent Simpson greeted them with his
usual cordiality, and when he learned
that the Professor was from Georgia he
informed that that state is also his natal
soil The delighted Professor turned on
the crowd exclaiming: ‘‘What did I
tell you? Here’s a Georgian right here!
Go where you will and former Geor
gians will be found occupying the lead
ing positions of honor and trust. ’ ’
Mr. Rose was noticed taking Superin
tendent Simpson aside, where they con
versed a few moments; then after a
short delay in the office they proceeded
ou their tour of inspection through the
building. In the middle of the first
ward a man stepped, out from a cell,
and approaching the Professor, grasped
him by the hand while his face beamed
with pleasure as he said: “Isn’t your
name Mr. Connor, from Georgia? It
seems to me I have seen you there.
Don’t you know me?”
“Yes, my dear man, I am from that
glorious state. Os course I know you!
Your name is—uh—uh”
“John Spillwater, from near Cave
Spring. ’ ’
“Yes, yes; of course—remember you
well. ’ ’
“I am glad you recognize me, Mr.
Connor, and I am overpowered with joy
to know that my memory is returning.
lam no longer crazy, and the king of
Siam has no longer right to incarcerate
me in this fortress, Good day.” and he
passed through the cell door.
“You’ll find them everywhere, re
marked the Professor to his companions,
shaking his head in a sage manner.
“The intellectual cast of that man’s
features is evidence that he lost bis
miud through over exertion of the men
tal faculties. ’ ’
He did not notice the absence of two
or three of the party who bad entered
an empty cell and were endeavoring to
quiet each other that the Professor
might not hear their laughter.
In the next ward a second man espied
him, and running half the length of the
passage, grasped his arm and wrung it
till the Pjofessor winced.
“Mr. Connor, from Georgia, as true
as I live! Why. don’t you know me?—
Alias Tompkins from Thingravy Church!
Grabbled goobers for a liviug, don’t you
remember? You keep the deaf asylum—
I remember you well, ’ ’ all the while
trying to pull the Professor’s arm out of
its socket.
“Yes, yes—ha, ha!—of course —’’but
there the Professor paused as a glimmer
of doubt caused him to suspicion that all
was not right. He glanced at Mr. Rose,
who was at his side, but the inscruta
ble, can’t-tell-a-lie expression of that
face revealed nothing. He did not
seem satisfied, however, and appeared to
be revolving something in his mind as
they passed on and entered the third
ward. He had no sooner entered than
a third party attempted to throw his
arms about his necK aud kiss him,
while he danced and shouted, “Glory
to God! Mr. Connor from Georgia—.”
He got no farther, for the astonishment
of the Professor was too much for his
companions, who, unable to longer re
strain their laughter, relieved themselves
at length, while the Professor, who can
appreciate a good joke, whether it be on
himself or on the other fellow, laughed
as heartily as the rest.
IN MORROW’S HEAVEN.
One of the Believers In Nude Worship
Defends Her Faith.
As a moral reformer the Rev. John
Morrow is being criticised by Omaha
ministers. The local Ministerial asso
ciation held a meeting today and dis
cussed the startling theology advanced
by the apostle of liviug pictures clothed
in Adamic apparel for the modem
church.
A committee was appointed to call on
sonie member of the congregation which
practices nude worship, iu order that a
fair idea of situation might be made
kuown. Mrs. Thomas Grocox was select
ed. She is a bright, handsome little
woman of 30, with a sweet face and the
air of a sincere Christian. She unblush
ingly admitted her membership in
“Brother” Morrow’s “Holy Heaven,”
and attempted in an ingenious manner
to maiutain her position.
Mrs. Grocox produced a letter which
she received from a sister in the faith
residing in Elmira, N. Y., in which the
doctrines of the faith were set forth, the
letter being in answer to one sent by
Mrs. Grocox for light to follow the new
belief. The doctrine is not that meet
ings shall be held in which it shall be
the rule for those present to disrobe as
a part of the ceremony, but that the
disrobing and baths, as the spiritual
meetings are called, shall be done only
when the spirit moved.
Mrs. Grocox then gave her own ex
perience. She stated that she was moved
to seek the faith more thau three years
ago and had ever since followed it. She
said: “I had looked into the matter
deeply and prayed for light upon the
subject, and there is one dear brother
who resides in this city who came to
me to learn more about it. I told him
that I must have three days in which to
pray and seek light.
“The second day a great thunder
storm came up and it hailed, and I
thought it was a sure sign that I must
uot lead him. But I walked the floor all
the afternoon and away into the night
and sought God’s counsel, and finally
his command came to me. I went to the
Bible aud opened it. There before me
were the words, ‘Be not afraid, for, lo!
I am with you alway,’ and I knew
that it was my duty to instruct him. ’ ’
—San Francisco Examiner.
STRANGE INCIDENT.
It Happened at a Funeral Near Parsons,
Kan., Quite Recently.
A strange incident happened at a fu
neral near Parsons, Kan., the other
day. A little son of Samuel Carson,
residing southwest of the city, died and
was buried in the neighborhood ceme
tery. There being no hearse the remains
were placed in a spring wagon and con
veyed to the cemetery.
On the way to the grave a swarm of
bees gathered on the lid of the coffin
and there remained. When the cemetery
was reached, all efforts to drive the bees
from the coflin were without avail, and
the pallbearers were forced to take
charge of the coffin with the bees swarm
ing about them, and before the remains
were deposited in the grave every pall
bearer suffered, being stung in more
than one place on the face and hands.
The bees clung so tenaciously to the
coffin that many of them were buried
with the body of the dead boy.
The dead boy was very fond of bees,
and whether the bees were thus show
ing their grief over the loss of their
young friend or what the significance of
such an act on the part of the bees was
is a mystery yet unsolved. —Kansas City
Times.
