Norfolk, March 7.—A man can not recover an engagement ring from a woman on the plea that it was only a loan, when the latter produces love letters in proof of her engagement. So decided a Norfolk jury in the case of Herbert Wilson against Miss Marrie Justis, of this city. Wilson sued to recover a dia mond ring valued at SBSO. The jury took out with it a batch of love letters introduced by the defendant and returned in half an hour awarding her the ring which she had refused to give up when the engagement was broken off.

Williams, formerly of Nachoochee Valley, but who for some time past has been making his home in St. Louis, were brought through Gaines ville this morning en route to Na coochee for interment.

H. D. Ashford, Acting Scout Master. A New Parsonage. From Church Tidings. The last week’s issue of the Wes leyan Christian Advocate contains the following lines in an editorial on our church dedication: “Oue of handsomest and best equipped churches that Methodism has in Georgia is First Methodist Church in the beautiful mountain city of Gainesville. It cost in the neigh borhood of $60,000. And now that the adjoining lot is in their possesion tor a new parsonage, that they very ! much need and soon expect to build, tin y have property there , easily worth §75,000.” Bishop Denny spoke words of congratulation and commendation concerning the church and then ex- ; horted to build a home for the pas tors in keeping with the church and ’ he would return and dedicate the j Parsonage. Last spring in the light and glow of our gracious revival i Brother Luthei B. Bridgets called upon all present favoring the build ing of a new parsonage to manifest it. It seemed to be unanimous with eigiit hundred or a thousand pres ent. When tiie beautiful lot was I purchased, one reason given was | “we must have a new parsonage." It would redound to the honor of God, and Gainesville Methodism, and be felt throughout the entire borders of our great church. There ! is a plan by which it can be done! easily and wi iiout hurting any-1 body, and bring a blessing to all our! people. The good women in whose I hearts the Lord has laid this matter should be encouraged by every member. A good engcouager is worth his weight in gold to an enterprise that is needed, whether one can contribute to the object or not. The Humane Society. The third regular meeting of the Hail County Humane society was held last Friday evening at the Princeton Hotel. Luther Roberts, of the committee on organization, presented a report on constitution and by laws, which with few unim portant changes, were tentatively adopted, and final action on same will be taken at the next meeting which will be held tomorrow (Fri day) evening, at 8 o’clock, at the residence of Dr. J.

M. i To the Voter of Hall County: In making announcement for the office of Tax Receiver of Hall county, subject to the action of the primary, I will say that I am not allied with any political faction of the county, but I am in this race independent of any faction, or interest save my own and the well-being of the citi zens of Hall county. Therefore in making this race I am going before the people, who are responsible for the government, and let them say who shall be their Tax Receiver, and when they have spoken 1 will bow to their decision, though it be adverse to me, because the will of the people should always be respected in all matters pertain ing to their local affairs. The office of Tax Receiver of Hall county is one of the most important in the gift of our people. Its records should contain the vital statistics of the largest and richest county in this section of the State, and control to a large extent the revenues of the county, therefore, the duties of the office should be discharged without fear or favor, and the burden of tax ation made to fall on all alike. For that reason and many other reasons I will permanently establish an office in the Court House, where 1 can be seen at any time, when not making my rounds in the precincts, for the further convenience of the people, whom I hope to serve, for the office should be carefully and judiciously conducted, and always open for the transaction of any busi ness that has to do with the entry and valuation of property, and in strict compliance with the law. All support given me in the ap proaching primary will be duly ap preciated, and if the people see fit to elect me, I pledge to them my best efforts in the discharge of every duty of the office. Between now and the date of the primary I hope to make a canvass of the entire county and meet the people face to face, as far as possible, and get acquainted with them. Respectfully, J. D. LOKEY.

C., March 7. — Representative Thomas W. Hard wick gave out today a formal an nouncement for the senate. He will issue his platform later. Mr. Hardwick says that while he has been on terms of close friend ship with President Wilson and Senator Hoke Smith he does not ask the suffrage of the voters of Georgia on account. Other things being equal, he says South Georgia should be favored as Senator Smith’s colleagues in the senate and that both senators should not come from Atlanta. His statement follows: “I am a candidate for the United States senate, to succeed the late Senator Bacon, subject to the pri mary election of the democratic party. Our present senior senator, the Hon. Hoke Smith, comes from the northern part of the state, re siding at Atlanta. It seems that there is a strong and general senti ment throughout the state that, other things being equal, our other senator should come from some other part of the state. “Since I was born in the county of Thomas, in the extreme south ern end of the state, and ha' r e lived practically all my life in the county of Washington, in the very heart of middle Georgia, it would seem that from the standpoint of birth and residence, my candidacy might be acceptable. “I do not wish, however, to be misunderstood on this question. I neither believe nor contend that residence in any particular section, in and of itself, ought to have su preme and controlling influence in the selection of a senator. Os vastly greater importance is the character and capacity of each candidate, his training, experience and fitness for the service he would be called upon to render in the senate, and the character of the service he purposes to perform in that body.

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 remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian 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 restored to its normal condi tion, 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 case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CH ENY & CO., Toledo, O.
