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. and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Fustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rambling
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 its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases put 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

Cooks, washerwomen and III fact

Cooks, washerwomen and In fact
all kinds of domestic help is becom-
ing scarce in Abbeville, and the
price paid for such service is on the
increase. The scarcity is due to
large numbers Of darkies who have
left town to work on plantations or
in the adjoining towns. From the
Crowley Signal of last week we learn
that "two or three years ago there
were scarcely any colored people in
Crowley, but for the past few weeks
they have been focking into town.
Our citizens find no trouble now in
employing cooks and washerwomen
and you canNlways find men to do
odd jobs. Yearly all Of them seem

eral thing tFey are sober, industri-
GUS and law-abiding." So what is

Our readers we are sure will be
pleased to know that there is some
hope Of having this much talked Of
road built. In fact we hear that
certain gentlemen who are well
posted in railroad matters give it as
their opinion that the Southern Paci.
6c Railroad will eventually build
from franklin to Abbeville and
thence by Lake Arthur to the main
line in order to shorten the run from
New Orleans to Houston as well as
to obtain concessions from the Louis.
lana Western Railroad. The Frank.
lin indicator Of last week has this
to say 1.-THE Franklin and Able
vile railroad will likely be contin-
ned down to the heart Of Velmilion.
The stockholders had a meeting some
days since for the purpose of looking
into possibilities connected with that
move. but we have not learned what
resulted. We hope, however. to fur.
nish our readers with the irforma'
ton that the road will be continued

Ous. n Roads.

Elsewhere in these columns will
be found an article entitled "Coun-
try Roads," and the complaints
noted therein have been~heard in
Vermilion so long, that we refer u
readers to it. There has been a
clamor for a better road system in
our parish for a number of years.
Every man who is compelled to
leave his crop in whatever condition
it may be, to work on u public
roads feels the injustice of it and
will haiti any reform with pleasure.
Letting the building and care OF
the roads by contract is being sue
'c~essfully carried out in many par
ishes, and we suggest its adoption
by the police jury of Vermilion. If
necessary, increase the tax l mill for
this purpose. When it is consider.
ed that a farmer is compelled by
law to give twelve days labor to the
parish per annum or twelve dollars,
it will be seen that it is equivalent
to a greater tax than ] mill to small
landowners, and we feel confident
that an increase of tax for road pur-
poses will meet with little Or no OPP
position from our p~arishioners. While
on the subject, let us remark that
there are few parishes in the State
where the roads arc kept in better
condition than our own. Travellers
from Lafayette, Acadia or Iberia
can tell when they have crossed
into Vermilion by the improved
roads, and in their departure from
this parish, a plunge into a boghole
announces that they have passed the
boundary line. This is because our
farmers work conscientiously on the
roads. VIZ would like to see this
question Of roads agitated, especially
in the adjoining parishes-so that
travel may be facilitated. If our
neighbors inaugurate no reform, al
least let them rigidly enforce the
present regulations and give US bet
ter roads, by exactiDg conscientious
labor from those who must work
them.

Last Friday morning the large

Ophelia Broussard, situated about
ten miles north of Lafayette, near
the Vermilion river caught FIRE
and was completely destroyed in a
few moments. The furniture as well
as many valuable articles of house.
hold ornaments were devoured by
the flames before their removal could
be effected. The building was one
of the old time landmarks OF ante
bellum days, and was of magnificent
proportions and stately appearance,
and was formerly the family resi-
dence Of Oneziphore Broussard, Sr.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been accidental, having been
communicated to the main building
from the kitchen. Several outdoor
buildings were also destroyed with
the house and the total loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000 or more and
was not protected by any insurance.
