A Pleasant Evening.
iCOntributed.1

Tuesday night was marked by an
occurrence that will long be remem-
bered By the young people of Hender-
son: the occasion being fruit party
given by the young men compliment
airy to the visiting ladies' of the town,
at the College. All seemed to thor
oughly enjoy themselves, and are
endebted to the managers Of the occa-
sion and especially to the charming Miss
Phillips, for her generous supervision
and kindness. The hours were spent
in chatting, spooning and EARNING,
till about II O'Clock, when all repaired
to the campus, where tables laden with
the choicest fruits awaited them. The
moon in her queenly splendor seemed
to smile with delight upon the gay and
festive group, the merry peals OF
laughter rang out upon the midnight
air like the mellow chimes of silver
bells driving from the heart every
vestige of care and trouble, and the
only thought the tempered the merrl-
ment was that of departing. The feast
lasted till about l O'Clock when all
satisfied with the evening returned to
muse in dreamland over the many
unfinished pleasures that had been
presented.
Among the visiting ladies present
were: Misses Jenning, Haughton,
Lamb, Hight, Gregory, Davis and
Meadows.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

BY local applications, for 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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rum5ling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can he taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition hearing will be de-
stroyed for ever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh(
that can not be cured by taking Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

A Unique Country where the
Skies are almost Never Cloud
ed, while the air is COOland
BraciDg, like Perpet-
nal Snrinu


AS an anomalous southern resort, by
reason of the fact that there one may
escape summer heat no less than winter
cold, New Mexico is rapidly becoming
famous. Averaging through the entire
territory $500 feet in altitude above
sea-level, and characterized by dry air
which, unlike humid atmosphere, is
incapable of communicating heat, the
temperature in midsummer remains at a
delightfully."- comfortable degree through
the day, and at night becomes in
variable, brisk and bracing. The sun
shine is almost constant, yet the most
violent Out-Of-doOr eXertiOn may be
undertaken without fear OF distressful
consequences. Sunstroke Or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is an
ideal land for summer outing. It's
climate is prescribed by reputable physi-
clans as specific for pulmonary COM
plants, and the medicinal Hot Springs
at Las Vegas are noted for their cura-
tive virtues. The most sumptuous
hotel in the west, the Montezuma, is
located at these springs. Write to Jno.
