A Phenomenal Orator- We have beard Henry Grady, and some of us are familiar with John Tern) le Graves as an orator; but if Joe Camp did not show himself the sups* rior, he demonstrated that be was the equal of either. He must, be classed, wherever he is heard, among the few phenomenal orators of Georgia —Ea tonton Messenger.

He comes to i our city under auspices of the Eu« phradian Society of the Chiis M.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is ■by constitutional remedies. Deafness is j caused by an inflamed condition (if the ! mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. I When this tube is inflamed you have a i rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and ; when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation I can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten arc caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

While these elections occur in only one quarter of the states, they are so scattered as to afford a fair test of pub lie opinion in nearly every quarter of the Union. The campaigns in Ohio and Nebrag ; ka are likely to attract the most atten tion, as the former is the home of President McKinley and the latter ol Mr. Bryan. There are indications of a hot contest in both states. The dem ocrats take some hope from the repub lican dissensions in Ohio, and from recent elections in Cleveland and To ledo. The republicans and democratic opponents of Mr. Bryan will try to in jure his prestige by defeating him at ■ borne. At the last election seven of the ■ states voting this year were carried by I the republicans and four by the demo- I crats. — Valdosta Times. j Bears the -/j”'" 2 K '" d V “ f!3ve AiW2 - y; '' Bcu 2 ht I —♦ Lives Lost tn a Fire- Dr, 11.
