CENTRAL BEACHING OUT I. in. ~ Indications Are Now That It Will Soon Haye a Line to the Gulf. According to all indications, the Central of Georgia railway is to have an outlet ou the gulf coast It. is re ported that the Central is l.» extend its line from Saarigbt, Ahi , to Pensacola, a distance of 118 miles. This would give it something for which, under the new conditions, the railroads are now contemping-i line to a port on tbe gulf of Mexico. With new West India trade and the immense business to be transacted, if tbe Nicaragua ca nal is bui'.t, the gulf ports will do "the business of the country. This move of the Central, therefore, to go into Pen sacola, where there is a fine harbor , and water front, is both significant and interesting The Mobile and Girard railroad is a road from Columbus to Searight, in south Alabama, 121 miles long. It ' was built as an independent road, it j being planned to extend it to Mobile. The road became absorbed into the Central’s system in time. The suppo- f sition that tbe Mobile and Girard is to be extended into Pensacola is based ‘ on ihe fact that an extension of twen ty one miles from Seargihl to Anda- ’ lusia, Ala , has already been decided upon. The total distance from Sea- j right to Pensacola is 118 miles. The , road would go through timbered sec tions Tbe building would tend to cut i off certain advances of the Plant sys- < tem in that section. £ A correspondent has been reliably informed that certain parties at Se»- right received a telegram from Vice President Eagan, of the Central, ac- [ cepting their bid for a certain portion t of the work of extension to Andalusia t for ten miles Incidentally, the tele ’ gram slated it la understood that the 5 to”n of Andalusia had pul up $6,000 f for the road, and that cars would be I running into that town by October Ist. I t Georgia’s Greatest Need- J Io a recent issue of the Athens * Banner we find the following timely 1 comment: “Georgia has many needs, but none < so complely apparent as the need of 1 diversified industries. Our’ people have become enamored of the one crop idea and the Georgia farmer is never so happy as when he can look over hie broad acres and see them full of cot- , ton- So with the manufactories in J the south. They are most part cotton mills. “Now aside from the staple crop of cotton and a few minor matters, the south is entirely a buying section. It 1 is a buying section because it is fore- i ed te be so on account of the lack of I divers !! d industries. And it must be borne iu mind that those who con- 1 tinually by and sell not cannot pross . per. “There are thousands of different kinds of articles sold over the coun ters in Athens everv day. Very, very few of those articles are made in the south, and yet niuetj-3ve per cent of them could b made profitably in this section of the country. It is certainly worth the trouble for our people to look into these things thoroughly, “If cut farmers will diversify their crops and our manufactories will di versify their industries, a better and more prosperous day will soon dawn upon the south."

Deafness Cannot be Cired By local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is closed by an inflamed condition of the muco.’s lining of the Eqstachian Tube. When ibis tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is tbe i result, and t nless the inflammation can be taken out s id this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; './me cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. When sri-n’orr.s a’e present, no time should L-e lust in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention The Middle Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil mer & Co,, Binghamton, N. Y.. f.r a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. 1 Parlor Car and Sleeping Oar Service Be tween Alanta and Albany, Ga.
