TOWN MENACED BY FLOOD.
Old and Frail L.evce Stands Between
Caruthersville and Calamity.
The town of Caruthersville, Mo.,
containing 2,300 Inhabitants, Is threat
ened with destruction by the flood. An
old levee, which is caving, alone stands
between the city ami the swollen
Mississippi.
Goverrment engineers regard it as
the most critical flood point along tho
river. Four hundred men under En
gineer Kilpatrick are working desper
ately at building a new levee.
HOPEFUL AT NEW ORLEANS.
Cessation of Stormy Weather Brings
Less Danger in River Situation.
The river gauge at acw Orleans
Sunday night was a little over 19.3,
which is only 0.2 below the record of
1897, but the sudden change from
stormy weather to sunshine and
brightness and has given renewed
hope all along the line.
With two engineers on each engine,
the danger of wrecks due to “lujman
fallibility” would lie materially de
creased, and the faithful block systems
would have a much needed reinforce
ment.

Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant
and Easy Po Use
The fact that the smoking of tobac
co is injurious to the health is no ar
gument against the use of Dr. BIos
ser’s Catarrh Cure in a pipe, or m
the form of cigarettes, as tdis remedy
contains no tohaco or any injurious
drug: The effect oi the remedy ap
plied du’ectly to the diseased part
is much hotter than the uncertain
action of medicines taken into the
stomach. This is the philosophy, pro
profound as it is simple, of the treat
ment of catarrh with Dr. Blosser’s
Catarrh Cure.
Itus the only known remedy that
can penetrate the recesses of the
head, throat and lungs. No liquid
remedy can do tins. No spry that
ever was devised-surely no “con
stitutional” nostrum taken into the
stomach—can reach the inflamed
surfaces and cleanse, soothe and
heal them as this medicated smoke

Bonds for Good Roads In Halt"
In all probability the county com

bonds to build permanent roads in the
county. At a meeting of the board fhe

sioners, but no action wAs uiKen, the

Reward Offered for Robbers.
A reward of $200 has been offered
by the postofflee department for dhe
arrest and conviction of each person
connected with the robbery of the p>»st
oees at Alapaha and Ty-Ty, Ga. These
two offices were robbed on the night
of March 8, and from the circum
stances in the case, it is thought mat
both robberies were committed by the
same men.
To Name Six Hundred Delegate*.
Governor Terrell is preparing a list
of delegates to the National Conven
tion of Charities which is to meet in.
Atlanta in June. Three delegates or
more will be named. It is likely that
there will be six hundred or more'dele-,
gates from Georgia alone. Governor
Terrell is taking a great deal of inter
est. in the coming convention and says
he thinks it will be a big thing.
Read Law is Upheld.
The alternative road law in Musco
gee county stands. Judge Butt heard
the petition of a number of citizens
of tile county last Saturday to re
strain the county board of commis
sioners from enforcing tae law. and
after listening to the argument he
passed an order dissolving the tempo
rary injunction which had been grant
ed in the case, and denying the appli
cation.

price being $20,000, paying $l,b00 and
giving mortgage and notes for the rest.

pany is capitalized at one million dol

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach th*
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to oure deafness, and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of tho mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is tn
flamed you have a rumbling sound orimper
fect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflam
mation cun be taken out and this tube re
stored to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nino cases out but often
are caused by catarrh .which is nothing an
