Deafness Can't 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 infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever !;
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

years, the industrious and frugal farmers
are in fairly good condition, and many OF
them make money. None ever lose their
property because of debt contracted in
legitimate farming. This cannot be said OF
the situation in the Northwest, where, as
here, the present system of taxation Is
enough to break the cancels back. There
the untoward seasons and climate are in
deed desolating in their effects. Latitudes
in which frosts come in August and do not
take their leave till June-where wind and
heat make the soil destitute of moisture
when the cereal plants most heed it, is no
country for their successful culture, and all
the artificial appliances that the monopolist
farmers may tax their resources to intro
duce will not change the natural condition
in general way though they may succeed
to some extent in partial and fancy man
ner. To such, drought may be prefer
able to rain," in their attempts to over
come natural laws by artificial means, but
it will be for the day only, and will have to
be abandoned.

The usual treatment of catarrh is very un-
satisfactory. as thousands Of despairing pa
tients can testify. A trustworthy medical
writer says: Proper local treatment is posi-
lively necessary to success, but most of the
remedies in general use by physicians afford
but temporary benefit. A cure cannot be ex.
pected from snuffs. powders and douches and
washes" Ely's Cream Balm is a remedy
which combines the important requisites OF
quick action specific curative power with per-
feet safety and pleasantness to the patient.

The Stanton Development Company.

Without ostentation and in an even,
smooth, business manner, the Stannton
Development Company is conducting its
large aims forward to assured success. 1t
will bring an immense amount of capital
and large numbers Of the best men of talent
and energy to this favored location for in
vestment. Investments not only. in lots
and suburban homes, but in many indus
tries for which the opportunities are no
where surpassed.
1t is something worth while to consider
as the situation here is viewed. To locate
with all the animating life pertaining TO
new and stirring progress in an old and
prosperous town, holding in its grasp the
varied elements which have caused it to be
styled "Queen City of the Valley, "-and
equipped as it is with all its advantages of
trade and commerce, its elegant educational
institutions, and its watchful, advancing
municipal government, present oppor-
tunities but seldom found.
The Staunton Development Company
wisely surveyed the opening ed. and
confding in its superiority have made
known theetact facts which will exceed the
lsgnest expectation. The immediate ad-
vantages to be utilized for the growth of a
large and prosperous city are not only to
invite foreign capital and population
They are surrounded with the choicest u
agricultural districts !" are capable o
grcsas:tv enlargement in fruitful production.
All the supplies in breadstuffs, meats
fruits, and the comforts of good living
abound, we might say, to an unlimited ex
tent. All these facts are made know
through this Company, and the Thousands
seeking just such opportunities for thu
future realize the truth when they visit thu
goodly city, and not few will fix her
their permanent abode. The Company j

its progress. Engineering and art, in il

the landscape where industries will b

sorts for the thousands who seek the fresh

Every inhabitant should give his approving
support to the Staurton Development
Company, not that it is necessary to sue
cess, but that its achievements may be tn
greater, and their interests larger ant
more advanced.

When southern republican thinks he
has been badly treated by the republican
administration he talks out in meeting.
Ex-U. s. Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, has
grievance, and under it he tells the.trutb,
as follows:
'When the colored man stops voting the
republican ticket, where is the republican
party? Three fifths of the white vote of
America is democratic. Without the negro
vote, the republican party is dead. The me-
gro controls the balance of power in five
northern States aud twenty northern con-
gressional districts"

A New Plan TO Settle the State Debt.

1t is the universal desire of the people to
have the State debt question settled, if ii
can be done upon satisfactory terms. Steps
are now being taken to adopt plan which,
it is hoped, may effect that object. Iu re-
ference tosthis plan the Rich. Dispatcz
says
sThe plan is for the creditors to deposit
their bonds and agree among themselves On
a basis of settlement within the revenues OF
Virginia, which is to be submitted to ard
approved by an advisory board consisting
of ex-President Cleveland, Hon. Thos. E.
Bayard, Hon. E. J. Phelps, Mr.. George S.
Coe, president of the American Exchange
National Bank, and Mr.. Geo. G.. Williams,
president of the Chemical National Bank.
After the board has approved plan OF
settlement it will be submitted to the cred
itors for acceptance, and when accepted
by them will be presented to the General
Assembly of Virginia. 'sInasmuch as the
committee will offer to surrender the bonds
the moment the State accepts the PROPOSE
tion, it is claimed that a miscarriage of the
settlement is impossible
One very marked advantage this scheme
presents is that we will know with whom
we are dealing, and the proposers of the
settlement will have the bonds in hand to
fund when they agree upon terms with the
State. Sir Edward Thornton and Mr..
Braithwaite when they were here trying to
effect compromise never gave to the legis-
lative committee any satisfactory assurance
of the amount of the debt they could inf1-
ence or control.
The intelligent gentlemen who have un-
dertaken to conduct this movement no doubt
well know the position of the people of Vir-
ginia, iterated and reiterated in their deter
mination to stand by the Riddleberger bill,
but in the lapse of time since that settle
ment was first offered to the creditors ques-
tions have arisen which require legislative
construction. Hence the necessity of a
''plan of settlement"
The details of the scheme of Blown Ship
ley & Go. further than are mere stated we
have not seen; but proceeding upon the
hypothesis that the position of this Com.
monwcalth is clearly comprehended by
them, and that their proposed settlement is
meant to come "within the revenues of
Virginia" there ought not to be any OBJ
stacle that conference and Cancellation can
not remove.
For the present the work of Brown, Ship
ley & Co. and their associates in England
and America will be to convince the bond
holders of the advantages Of their move.
ment The great bulk of our foreign debt
is represented by the Committee of the
Council Of Foreign Bondholders in London,
whose chief reliance to force Virginia to a
settlement has been in the sale of coupons
and litigation to create market for the
coupons. If they (the bondholders) are
satisfied with their present situation they
will be immovable; if not, they will be ready
enough to sell out CT to cooperate in the
new plan.
At any rate settlement never can be
effected without a beginning being made.
Here seems to be start and in the right
direction. In this view who in this old
Commonwealth does not wish it success?''
