A COMPLIMENT.
A GENTLEMAN remarked if
he could not find an article at
any other store in Dalton he
was sure he could find it at our store.
He meant this as a compliment and we
took it as such, but we had rather he
had said, “I always come to your stores
lirst because I am almost sure to find
what I want.’’
We do really try to make
ours the most desirable
trading place by having
a reasonably complete
general stock.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, 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 caused by an in¬
flamed condition of the mucous
lining cf the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or im¬
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflamma¬
tion can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con¬
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi¬
tion of the mucuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be curred by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, Send for circulars, free.

Well, another Chrihtmas has
passed and left many people
with sad hearts, owing to the
evil effects of overmuch whiskey
and the unwanton use of fire¬
works and the ever ready pistol.
Is it not astonishing to think
how many of our citizens are
violating the law every day by
carrying pistols, and yet go un¬
punished? Could not our great
government prohibit the making
of pistols and fireworks in the
United States and also the im¬
portation of the same from
foreign countries
We were utterly astonished to
have so many drunks in our com¬
munity and especially of so many
aged men. Fathers what can
you expect of your boys with
such an example before them?
Why the people many of them
were so busy with their shooting
matches and drunken carousals
that they actually did not have
time to go to see their sick
neighbors.
We hope that the list of cas¬
ualties in our county mav lie
small but we have already heard
of three (viz.,) the shooting to
death of young Tankers ley, the
losing of one boy’s eye and the
painful wounding of an aged and
afflicted neighbor.
Are the people growing better
or worse? Who can answer this
question correctly?

four years in the federal prison

Toffee worked in a printing<sbop

the crime. His release on Sun¬

prisoners Ste Jet out on that day.
Mr. H. H. Stotesbul^, a mer¬

store was being robbed and be
had caught the burglar. So
vivid was the dream that he
awoke. He started to dress aud
