IRE negotiations between the par ties owning the Melrose Cotton Mill of this place and Messrs. c. H. Gould & Co.,, of Cincinnati, Ohio, looking to consolidation of the Queen City Mills with the plant here, are still pending. We had hoped to be able to report the deal closed so as to secure this important industry to our town before going to press, but up to this hour no final decision has been reached. One thing, however, has been determin- ed, and that is, that if no satisfac- tory arrangement should be effected this week the machinery here will be taken away. Such an issue would give black eye to any at tempt to again soon start an indus try of this kind at our town. If the opportunity that Russellville now has was properly appreciated by our citizens It does seem to us that a concert of action would be had which would secure the mills. We desire to impress It on our people that there is no other foundation 80 secure upon which to build, as labor employing concerns which distribute ready money at regular periods, and we cannot urge upon Russellville too strongly to catch everything of that kind that is possible.

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 inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets unframed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t 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 caus- ed by catar-h, which is nothing but an inaamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co.,,
