A telegram was sent here from

after quite awhile he regained con
sciousness and although he was
still in a precarious condition
Monday afternoon, his physicians
are hopeful of his recovery.
Oi next Friday 18th our school
will dose for the holidays. This
ends the fall term aud one of the
most profitable in the history of

hard times arc over.”

Hl* Creed a SelfUh One
The philosophy of the man in the
itreet Is to get through life with a
minimum of self-sacriflce and a maxA
mum of self-indulgence.
Is This True?
In discussing the question of
local tax for bublic schools, I
heard a poor man say that if any
body ought to be in favor of local
tax it was him, his lo'*al tax was
not over 35 cents, with a large
family of children to scho and. I
also heard a large land owner say
that he was going to rent for cash
rent with enough added on to i>a>
his tax, and every body is but hu
man; and nine out of every ten is
going to follow suit. Ho like ev
cry thing else the poor man has
got to bear the heat and burden of
the day. Fash rent, calculated
for a good crop year with no al
lowanee for sickne-:s, drouth and
hail storms, and if you are not wil
ling to promts: it there is 10 oth
ers willing to step in your shoes.
I know some men that rented
this i car for a fixed rent and am
confident that the rent Fertilizer
bill will take their crop. If this
fixed rent is adopted in our com
munnity. The one hors. land
owner and the man that rents for
a fixed rent will pay the taxes.
The school ond church are two of
tha grandest institutions that ever
bedecked the American continent.
But the mess of pottage must
come by and by. If it don’t the
children will make ugly faces and
the mother who toils in the cotton
lidd is worthy of wholesome food
and good warm winter clothing,
and 1 find that some of the best men
we have talk benevolence don't
provide for their families as they
should. Squirrel hunt, whilet'ieir
wife is picking cottou, and sit in
the house and read a paper while
she splits the stove wood. What
does such men need, more t and
uc.it ion or whntt

by local applications, as they can

the ear. There is only one way to
cure dealness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
erased by on inflamed condition ot

you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect healing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the
result and unless the inilammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by
