DEA FN ESS ( ANOTBE GUKED
by local applications, as they can
not reach t lie diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deali'.ess, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
erased by on inilatned condition ol
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube it)
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine oases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surlaees.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot bo cured
by llull’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

A gunner of the royal marines fell*
a story. *ays an English paper, of
how a seagull rescued an exhausted
linnet from the sou and deposited It

Its narrator exclusively to his fellow
marines.

Dead Mule Makes
Much Trouble
Mr. Tap Powell hauled his mule,
which died in Homer Sunday night,
over near Mr. W. B. Hill’s resi
dence and placed it in a gully.
Hill says Powell failed to put
enough dirt on the mule to give it
a decent burial, and therefoie he
was much annoyed by the bad
odor coming from the carcass.
He therefore hitched his live mules
to the dead one and dragged it
back this way leaving it in the
woods above town. Mr. Will
Daniel says that mule has been
dragged past his house twice and
he hopes never to see it coming
again. He says these hot days are
not calculated to make a dead
mule smell good.
Mayor Gordon Logan notified
Powell this morning that he must
come and bury the mule again, or
take it to Atlanta and have it
cremated.
Wheeler’s School House.
Thinning cotton is the order of
the day. We heard that Mr. Him
David came to town Saturday with
blooms. He surely had just re
turned from South La.
We went to Diamond Hill sing
iug Sunday and saw one field of
good cotton on the plantation of
Mr. J. O. Bryan. It was on fresh

More About Foot Washing
Mr. Liiitoh: Allow your isub
scril*ei-s to help keep your piper
more interesting. I uric; ai ar
tide in your last issu-; on foot
washing, and a disbelief in
works, as thesubject matter, both
l>eing non csential. I will agree
with your writer that foot washing
is not required at all. If it was,
the disciples would have taught it
in church to which they l>eloriged,
(The church of Christ) for Christ
told them when they received the
holy ghost, it would teach them
wh it He had taught them, and
that you teach, so the holy ghost'
failed to tell them to teach foot j
washing, hence they failed to teach
it. Your correspondent says he is
not depending on works either, as!
1 understand him. I presume lie
has faith only. Works then would
seem to imply some action on the
part of man to perform. Let us
investigate works just a little.
Faith is not the gi t of Lod as
gome churches teach, but faith
conies by healing something. So'
your faith in Christ comes by j
hearing of Christ; Rom. 10 lit.
Now if your correspondent has
no works what will he do with
James 2 14, 17, 18, 20, 20, (works
is the fruit, and evidence of faith.)
Take Hitchcocks analysis, run
down five requirements of Christ,
and in obeying thisie icquirements
you act, which acts are works,
produced by the faith you have
through hearing. The five points
are hearing, believing, repenting,
confessing and being baptized in
Christ, making the five require
meats as required of sinners to be
come Christians.
Then if you obey the require
inents laid down for the Christian
to obey, you have shown your
faith to your works, as faith is
dead without works. We might!
have faith to believe the earth
would save us from hunger, but
unless we worked out our faith by
doing something about the end of
the year we would have to go the I
same route more than once to make
a shadow. A Rkaim-.k.
This Doctor Sews

i punctures in the scalp in every
square centimeter and as both ends
are left free this makes over 1,000
hairs to each sqare inch.
In the operation very line gold
wires are used, 1 500 ot an inch in
diameter, and fine long hairs from
a woman’s head are attached to
these. The gold loop acts as an
anchor, which after sterilization is
introduced into the subcutaneous
tissue, where it is slightly twisted. ]
j thus holding the hair in permanent
position. It is claimed that 500
hairs can thus lie planted in three
[ quarters of an hour. A special in
strument lias been designed by Dr.
S/.ckoly for planting thegold wires,
which are so fine that after the
work is completed for planting j
50,000 hairs there is only one gram
of gold left in the scalp. The hair
becomes perfectly natural after a
capsule of tissue forms around the
gold knot. The inflammation en
tirely disappears within ten days
after the operation and no evil re
suits have ensued from any of the
plantings. The hair can be treated
in the ordinary way after the oper
ation and the doctor’s earliest
patient, who underwent the opera
tion seven years ago, has a beaut
iful head of natural glossy hair. —
