The long looked for rain has come
at last, but, unfortunately, is a good
deal too copious for the good of the
planters. The cane has made WON
derful progress since the rain has
set in and if it were to stop now SO
the planters could lay by, a tremen-
dous crop would be assured. The
corn crop is fair but will lose con.
.siderably if it continues wet . few
days longer.-New Iberia Democrat.

supposed to be ready to go to trial

Deafness Cams be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach
the disease portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. aud that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Fastacbian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be tsken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi.
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh;
which is nothing but an inflamed 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. Send for circulars free.
Sold by Druggist seventy five cents.
