Deafness Cant 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 constitutional remedies, Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucus lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube gets inflamed. you 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 it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the h.ucus sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that we can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circular, free.

 Jno. J. Jones. The committee on resolutions made their report as follows and which was adopted:
 We the representatives of the demo- cratic party of St. Francis county in convention assembled, reafiirming our allegiance to the democratic party and our adherence to the principles that it has maintained for the liberty of the people and the perpetuity of the gov ernment, do declare.
 First, that we earnestly endorse the administration of Grover Cleveland, President of the United States of America, and especially his last mes- sage to congress, upon the reduction of the tariff and other reforms, and we commend our representatives in con- gress for their able and courageous SUD- port given our chief magistrate upon these great issues.
 Second, we denounce all exactions from the people beyond what is neces- sary for the support of the govern ment economically administered as un- just and oppressive, and we arraign and condemn the republican party for its policy in substituting railroads and manufacturers, and for enriching and fostering monopolies, and for all it's abuses of dover, it's disregard of the constitution and its violation of the genus and spirit of our free institu- tions.
 Third. we dcprecate sectional agita- ton and denounce the republican party for it's efforts to destroy the sovereignty and individuality of the states, its in- reference in state elections, it's efforts to revive factional and sectional strife and to remand to the south the horrible condition of the reconstruction era. Fourth, we declare that the demo- cratic party is the only hope of free, enlightened and progressive people and that we all pledge ourselves to support with unswerving devotion the nominees of the party for all federal state county and township offices.
 Fifth, we especially endorse and ap- prove the administration of Gov. S. P. Hughes as wise, patriotic and states manlike.
