There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the inascous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed youj have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nojhing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hund-ed Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused dy catarrh) that cannot be cured by- Hall’s Catarrh cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J.

Mr. Editor; In a late issue of the Gazette 1 notice that Mr. Albert Cash assails the Democratic party of this state for reckless expenditure of money, or as hi is pleased to term it, “Wickedness that is fast drifting our people back to anything but a free government.” Now Mr. Cash is a gentleman I like very much, and one whose per sonal feelings 1 would not violate for anything, but I must say that if our ship of state is drifting back i sin cerely trust it may stop before it reaches the wickedness, corruption, and mal-administration we had under republican rule prior to 1872. I am not prepared at present to give your readers a ( edrrect list of Georgia’s outstanding obligations, but I am quite sure Mr. Cash’s fig ures are misleading from the fact that, the legislature has paid off and refunded at least a part of the bonds mentioned in his list. I have not heard a higher estimate of our entire bonded debt than $11,000,000 while Mr. Cash’s figures amount to over $18,000,000. Neither do I believe that we are now carrying any bonds at 7 percent, per annum. But let this pass. I would inquire if Mr. Cash can point out a state that carries no bonded debt ? There are none so far ns I nave heard. What corporation or enterprise that does not, use money in this way? There ts nothing immoral or criminal about it. It is simply a matter of business. And what state can Air. Cash refer to that has a fairer credit than Georgia, or one whose bonds are listed at a higher premium in the markets of the world ? Can Mr. Cash point to a single Governor of Georgia since the Demo cratic party has bad charge of the state who has brought a reproach upon the fair name of our grand old commonwealth? Can he point out a State treasurer who has or one whose bondsmen have suffered under a Democratic administration? Until he does this we must believe his charges of wickedness and corrup- Weak Lungs Hot weather won’t cure weak lungs. You may feel better be cause out of doors more, but the trouble is still there. Don’t stop taking your Scott’s Emulsion because the weather happens to be warm. If you have a weak throat, a slight hacking cough, or some trouble with the bronchial tubes, summer is the best time to get rid of it. If you are losing flesh there is all the'more need of attention. Weakness about the chest and thinness should never go to gether. One greatly increases the danger of the other. Heal the throat, cure the cough, and strengthen the whole system now. Keep taking Scott’s Emulsion all summer. Vvr bale by all druggittU at and oi.ua tion are unfounded. On the other hand let us look at the general prosperity of our people since the democrats have been in power. We can point with pride to a magnifieent school system establish* ed tor the ebucation of both white and black. We can point to our old soldiers and their widows, and say with feeling deepest emotion, that Georgia has done more than any sis ter state for that class of her citizens.. The money paid to citizens of Banks County out of state treasury exceeds the amount paid in taxes. Any one who disbelieves this state ment can have the figures. A litte investigation will show that a major ity of counties in Georgia receive move money for pensions paid to old soldiers and for teacher’s salaries than they contribute in the way of taxes. Look at our beneficent system of laws, the universal growth of knowl edge, our wonderful increase in taxa ble property, the many towns and c ities which have sprung up under the fostering care of our government, the rapid inliux of Northern capital and the thousands of avenues now open to the young both in the arts and sciences; look at the buildings which lately contained an exposition of our wonderful wealth resources, such lias rarely ever been excelled in all the world—Look at all this 'and then tell me that we are “drifting back!” Away with the idea 1 None but the sourest pessimist alive can believe it aud 1 can hardly think that my good friend Mr. Cash can be in earnest when he indulges in such assertions.
