The county commissioners will
re-hang the gates to the court
house fence, grade the yard and
sod it; hire a janitor to look af¬
ter the public buildings and be¬
gin doing things right. This is a
step on the right direction and
it is to be hoped that they will
never let up with the good work
until the public buildings and
yards are fixed up in keeping
with such places in other coun¬
ties.

His Sion Down.
A disheveled man, much the
worse for liquor, staggered out
of a Main “speak-easy” and labo¬
riously propped him self againsfl
the door. For a while heowlishly
surveyed the passers-by. Sud¬
denly his foot slipped and he col¬
lapsed in a heap on the sidewalk.
A moment later he was snoring.
A hurrying pedestrain paused,
reflectively surveyed the fallen
man for a few seconds, and then
poked his head in the door.
“uh, Frank,” he called.
“Frank. Come out here a min¬
ute.”
Presently the proprietor of the
joint, smokiug a fat cigar^merg
ed. He blinked in the bright,
sunlight.
“Hello, Hud,” he said pleas¬
antly. What’s up?”
Hud jerked his thumb toward
the slumberer on the sidewalk?
“Yer sign has fell dewn,” he
explained, and briskly resumed
his walk uptown.—Everybody’s

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local treatment, as the can¬
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf¬
ness is caused bv an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
tbr Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is sullamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflamation can
be taken out and this tube re¬
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forev¬
er; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is noth¬
ing but an inflamed 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.

Excuse The Devil.
Notwithstanding the “Devil” of The
News made us say last week that we had
“White Madras $5.00 wool blankets for sale
for $3.63,” most of our Murray friends, we
think, understood. At least, some of them
did, because they came and bought the hand=
some 11-4 all woo! blankets that are splendid
values for $5.00 and of course are VERY
EXCEPTIONABLE at $3.63.
Now, the point is this. When we ad
vertise a bargain, we do not think anyone
doubts the quality of the goods advertised or
but what they will get the goods as adver
tised when they come for them. Some may
wonder how we do it, others why we do it.
To these we would say, “Because we know
how and really we think we will serve our
interest best by serving our customers better
than others will.”

An Appeal
Chattahoochee Ga., Feb., 8,
1909.
An appeal for John Blassin¬
game to the citizens of Murray
county Ga., through the columns
of The Murray News.
Please allow me to plead for
one of your unfortunate Murray
county boys who is nosv serving
a life sentence in the Peniten
tiary.
Young Blassingame came to
this camp nearly five years ago,
from the Durham coal mines,
just a boy in the bloom of life
and we, as officials of the Chat
tahooche© Brick Co., have found
him to bedionest and upright in
every respect.
NO. 9
It. has been rumored in Mur¬
ray county, so we learn, that he
has taken the life of one of his
fellow prisoners and gave us a
lot of trouble. So I feel it my
duty to inform you it is all a
mistake. No one knows him
but to love and sympathize with
him, I know he has repented
of the crime lie now stands
charged with and if given a
chance will make a useful and
law abiding citizen.
[ have been over him for near
ly five years and he has given
me no trouble whatevei.
Men of honor, remember we
have once been thoughtless boys,
so give him a chance to begin
life anew. Come to his rescue
and God will reward you.
Think of the hearts yon can
make glad by only signing your
name to Ins petition. Young
Blassingame conducted services
in the prison here last summer
and several professed Jesus as
their Savior. He is still engag¬
ed in a prayer meeting every
Sunday night. He is no crimi¬
nal and can you people stand for
one of the noblest boys of your
county to toil his life away in a
dreary prison. No, take it home
to your seif, place your own boy
in ms condition for a moment.
Will his imprisonment for life
bring back the boy who he un
thoughtfully killed? No! If so
I would be the last one to ask
you all to help him.
If any one should doubt the
above* I will be glad to write
them. Yours very respectfully,
0. W. Casey,
Chattahoochee Ga.
