Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed yon have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and w hen it is < ntirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

The raiding of the curtain revealed the High school gir’s, blight and in teresling in their pretty commence men* (rocks. This graceful galaxy captured the audience with a charms ing chorus, “Anchortd,“ by Watson The contest in declamation'was the principal feature of the evening. Mr. Ben Swaneon, of LaGrange, was the first young man to speak. In a lieart felt way, I e defended the Irish sub jects in the brilliant speech “Irish Aliens ” A humorous selection, “Making love under difficulties” was gracefully re cited by Miss Kate Bridges Mr Eugene Karnagham, of Pe-ry, pleased the Sou'bern audience by speaking on the ever interesting topic “Southern Reconstruction.” Gounod's “S inctus” was sung in a most happy manner, by a well trained chorus, after which much applause was elicited by the recitation, “Up rising of ’76,” by Miss Leila Blanton, of Zetella. Two patriotic speeches “The Boys in Gray,” by Mr. Francis Smith of Atlanta, and “Surry’s Dream,” by Mr. Sanders Walker of Monroe, showed careful preparation and much talent. Miss Carrilu Richards, of Griffin, was most pleasantly received, as she told of “Jannie Butler, the Irishman.’ The tiagic story of “The Gipsy Flow er Girl,” by its skillful rendition, pleased even the most critical. This was admirably recited by Mias Annette Walker, of Monroe. A vocal chorus, ‘ Spiing Time,” closed the program. The guest o’ the evening, Hin I Claude Estes of Macon, delivered an address on “Home” which was charac terized by great earnestness Miss Nettie Sherwood and Miss Weed deceive much credit lor the pro ficency manifested by their pupils, in music and elocution. The graduating exercises last night i attracted a large audience of Griffin's most intellectual people Dr. T.

An unexpected event was the presentation of gifts by (he Senior Class to their teachers, Profs Chas F eel and Eugene Ragland, who expressed their heart felt appreciation. With regret, Prof Neel anm unced hi» intention of leaving this commit' nity and he is assured of th” fact that many fiiends are loath to see him leave. Dr Drewry then cco'cluded the ex ercises with an appeal to the citizens of Griffin to give to the Board of Edu cation that co-operation and patronage that would enable them to make the High School the best in the State.

The kidue.- arc responsible for more I aickuess, suffering, and deaths than any oth r organs of the body. A majority of the-ills afflicting people today is traceable to kidney trouble. It pervades all classes of society, in ail cli mates, regardless of age, sex or condition. The symptoms of kidney trouble are un mistakable, such us rheumatism, neuralgia sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in the back a desire to urinate often day or night, pro fuse or scanty supply. Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois oned an:i germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wast ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous form of kid ney trouble.
