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. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

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. I 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. L. J. Alldred, Door-keeper, Ga, State Senate.

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.
