There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by Constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by aa inflamed . condition of the mucous fining oi the Eustachian .Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafhess is the result, and unless the inflamation 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.

A MERRY PARTY i : Camp Morthen Enlivened Yeeterdny By a Party of Charminn Women- Yesterday was a moat pleasant day in camps for many,most esp icrally the Albany eothpanies. ® It had been predicted for several days that quite a large crowd from Al bany would come up Saturday and give the boys of Captains Scott and O'Brien a picnic . And the men were not disappointed for when tbe train arrived yesterday a jolly crowd of ladies and gentlemen, about Ibirty-five strung, were soon >O - carried to tbe camp ground, their well filled baskets. The zmornt ing was only too quickly passed by the merry party who, with their soldier friends, enlivened tbe ent)\e camp grounds, tbe soldiers quarters, and the men on duty. About 1 o’clock the elaborate spread jwaa-prepared in the mess hall of tbe company when all were invited down to feast. It was a meet elaborate and abundant spread, one which all did full justice to. Everything templing was served in the most gracious man ner by the noble ladies who claimed they bad come to give their soldier boyj one more feast from home. It is useless to say this was appre ciated and the thoughts that the ladies not only prepared the lunch, but came all the distance to Griffin-tA bring it makes the boys feel doubly proud' of tbe noble ladies of tbe Artesian city. Most of this party will remain over ‘ until this afternoon, while others re turned home yesterday. Again the men throughout the camp were made glad, yesterday by the an nouncement that the uniforms were arriving and perhaps all would be giv en new clothing by noon today. The first lot of tbe uniforms arrived early yesterday morning and tbe others were expected last night. Col. J. H. Estill, of the Savannah M >rning News, last week complimen ted the Fust Regiment with eleven hundred copies of “Star Spangfed Ban ner.” These were distributed through* out tbe camp and it is the intention of Col. Lawton to have (he men learn and sing this beautiful song in a body. This will be quite a treat and if noti fied in time our citizens will do doubt „urc out in large numbers to bear tbe song by a regiment of men. Another Savannabian who has tbe best wishes of all in camps is Mr, T. J. Davis, who complimented tbe regi ment with enough straw to supply ev ery tent in camp. This was quite a large donation, and while many had all tbe straw wished for,it was received with thanks throughout ‘the entire regiment. Col. Lawton instructed tbe issuing of all guns on hand ta tbe different companies vesterday. Each company was detailed 40 guns. It ie not known when the other guns will bb furnished by tbe government, but all would like to see them forthcoming. Col. Lawton has issued an order for the detailing of one company each day to serve guard. This order will take effect Monday and is heartily ap ' proved throughout the camp. Twenty-five men have beeu selected for tbe band which ie soon to make its appearance on the field. Lieut. W. E. Sanders went down to Forsyth Friday where he secured a set of band instruments to be used in camp until others can be obtained from tbe government. ■ftmister i Briiios Offer Monday Morning: 400 yds White W«lt Pique 121-2 C and 15c yard, worth 25c.

Il ie officially announced in Madrid that the Spanish reserve squadron, commanded by A Imiral Camara, has left Cadiz.
