As to “Dependence.” New York World. There is now a great deal of talk to the effect that a man who works for a salary is more dependent than a man who has his own bus iness. If there is one fact that is clear ly established in ; this world that fact is the beneficent complete interdependence of all men. Ti midity or some other similar de fect of character may make any man, whatever his source of in come, ieel like a dependent in the unpleasant sense of. that word. Idleness or incapacity or some such defect may make a man act ually a dependent, a recipient of bounty which he has good cause to fear may be withdrawn. But the man of courage, the man of energy, capacity, and application, is everywhere his own master. Whether he keeps a shop or works fora shopkeeper, whether he di rects or is dircted by a corpora tion, he is nceessarily a free man. He gives a valuable service in ex change for its worth. The only power that can destroy manhood by creating industrial slavery is monopoly which sub stitutes favoritism for excellence and force for persuasion. And that is why monopoly should be fought assiduously by all who cherish freedom and manhood. What’s Your Face Worth!

Thpioe brooms are made from straw grown by these people on their colony farm, and the farmers living near by. Last year they gave seed to a number of farmers who experi mented with broom corn puite successfully this year. The Bus kin people buy all the farmers raise at the highest market price. Mr. Carnegie, of the Rnskin Col ony, says Ware county land will produce about half a ton of broom com per acre,, which is worth from 5 to 8 cents per pound.

The following incident is rela ted on the two widower candidates recently running for the state senate in this county. How true it is, and if true, which position each occupied, we leave for our readers to decide. Both gentlemen happened to be electioneering on the same road a short distance apart. The hind most one called at a certain house when a bright-eyed little girl came to the door. “Sissy,” he asked, “will you please bring me a drink of water?” which she quickly did. Then he gave her candy and said: “Did the man ahead of me give you candy?” “Yes sir.” Then he gave her a nickle and said: “Did he give you money?” “Yes sir, he gave me ten cents.” Then picking her up, he kissed her and said; “Did he kiss you?” “Yes sir, and he'kissed ma too!” Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have -a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mneons surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.
