The Leader had on exhibition lust
Tuesday a monster stalk of corn that
measured 9 feet and 11 inches in
length, and had 8 shoots on it, three
of which were beginning to tussle
out. The corn was raised on ground
that was first broke up last year and
planted to potatoes. This year it was
planted to corn from seed brought
here from Nebraska, on tlie 16th day
of March. Manure was used in fer
tilizing and Mr. Jay who raised it on
a lot hack of “Midway,” informed us
that with tlie rains we should have
hud along in May, the Btulk would
undoubtedly have measured 12 to 14
feet in length. If some of our kick
ers who have departed for the North,
where cyclones are their daily diet,
could have looked at this stalk they
would conic to the conclusion that

’Tis pleasant to be sick!

With noise enough to wake tho dead;
And then you hear tho comments drear
On hucIi a time of all the yoar

And death Is sweet, a glad relief
From all your friends of artless grief,

’Tis pleaant to bo dead!
For friends with eyes of red
Will semi around’ a praising sound
llefote you’re well beneath tli&ground;
So sure w ere they you could not pay

They would not praise your tender lays
Throughout your saddened earthly days,
For fear you might a loan procure,
Return of which they’d ne’er scenic.

Wollf it Iiapp, the large wholesale
dry goods merchants who failed in
Macon a few days ago, carried to
New York recently $60,000 gilt-edge
securities on which to raise money to
title them over till October, but the
bankers declined to advance the mon-
oy, not because the security wqs not
good, hut because of the agitation of
the financial question ahd the uncer
tainty of its outcome. Speaking on
this subject, tho Macon Nows says:
“Now these banks are not trying
to coerco voters, tlioy are not using
their power to wreck business insti
tutions as object lessons for tho free
silverites. They are simply acting
upon a natural impulse. They are
looking out for their own interests.
Tlioy realize that the free silver ag
itation threatens a panic. They want
their money in their vaults during
paniev times. If they lot it out, what
assurance have they that they will

Deafness Cannot to Cured
1»y local Applications, as tlioy cannot
as
roach tho diseased portion of the oar.
There is only-one way to ou o deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of tho mucous lining of tho Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube-gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is tho result, and unless tho
inllammalion can lie taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition;
hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine
enses out of ten are caused by catarrh,
wiiiuh is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot ho cured by Bali’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
