to attend and it devolves upon the
people of the city to see that the teach
ers receive all proper encouragement.
There bids fair to be q very large at
tedance, and this much can be said of
teachers and Normal going people:
they are willin to put up with almost
anything in order to be able to enjoy
the flow of reason and feast of soul
~vouchsafed on such occasion. Now we
earnestly appeal to the people of the
city to make a success of this gather
ing of teachers. Quite q crowd of our
young people went down to the springs
Sunday afternoon. We do not approve
of Sunday driving, and hope they
will view it different in the future.

We had the pleasure of attending
the exercises, lchildren's day), at Mt.
Wesley last Sunday. The program ar
ranged by Rev. Nelson, was carried
out quite successfully, some very *
cellent Rotations were made but the
most forcible ones were by Misses Ida
Stepp, Josie McCracken, of Mt. Wesley,
Mollie and Cora Cloyd, Chucky
Byrely and Blanche Fipps, of Telford.
The best thing on the program was an
essay read by Miss Mary H. BakF.
She has a clear, distince voice and
could be heard by every n who
would listen. Unaka View vas well
represented there. The following per-
sons were present. Rev. D. A. Thomp-

John s. Walker, Of Christie, stopped
with d. A. Thomson one night last
week. Misses Annie and Daisy Pan
horst, of Jonesboro, spent Thursday
afternoon with yours truly. Miss An
ME furnished some very fine music on
the organ. She is quite a musician
and would do credit to musicians
much older than. herself. Harvest is
almost upon us and ere long we a
hear the hum of the reaper. Wheat is
not SO bad as has been reported, per-
haps there will be some biscuits after
all. o. f. B. says he don't care if
there is no wheat, so long as he can
get Barley; and they say he goes about
singing, II wantno more your ~weeveily

Ohio Platform.

The Republicans Of Ohio last week
by reclamation renominated Governor
Mckinley, and adopted the following
platform. Section 8, 4 and 8 refer to
State issues.
The Republicans of Ohio, by their
delegates in State convention assem-
bled, declare as follows:
|. We indorse and reaffirm the plat
form of principles adopted by the
National Republican Convention in
June, 1892.
2. We indorse and commend the
Administration of Benjamin Harrison
while President of the United States
as eminently patriotic, wise, pure and
just.
Q. We favor the policy Of full and
adequate protection to American la
Dor and industries. The best exempli.
fication of the principles of protection
and reciprocity, that has found ex-
preston in the statutes, is the McKin-
lev act. We cordially declare our ad
hesion to the doctrines of the great
measure, and favor such amendments
thereto for protection as time and
experience may show to be advisable.
z. We condemn the bill passed by
the Democratic majority, in the House
OF Representatives of the last Congress,
and the present avowed policy of the
Democratic party, to place wool on
the free list, as an unjust and ruinous
attack on the agricultural interest of
the country. We insist on such full
and adequate protection for the wool
industry as will enable American farm
ers to supply the wool required for
consumption IN the United states.
.. We indorse the policy of the Ma.
tional Grange shat all tariff laws
shall protect the products of the farm
as well as the products of the factory

lation as will secure these results for

RiNhlNo SOUND IN THE EARS
In Many Cases That Is the First fn.
dication OF Coming Deafness:

In Many Cases That Is the First In,
dicntion OF Coming Deafness:
The normal ear Is capable of hearing
considerably better than is necessary
fer the ordinary purposes of civiIiza-
ton; in fact, Is endowed with what
may be termed "superfiuous hearing"
Proper tests will discover the loss Of
even a small portion of this superiuous
hearing and warn us that we are grad.
ually becoming deaf-in fact, already
partially deaf although we may not
have noticed the slightest deficiency.
This is referred to by the Popular Sci
ence Monthly as explaining why it is
that many victims of certain forms Of
chronic deafness believe their COM
pIafnt to have been sudden In its be-
ginning, when in reality 1t has been
progressing for several years; the long
er time having occupied by the gradual
loss of the ''superduous hearing" and
the patients attention not having been
directed to his afFlictlon until the "nec.
essarJ hearing" was eneroached upon.
The great majority of all forms of
deafness are dependent upon and di-
rectly resultant from objections of the
nose and throat. The earliest symtoms
of beginning deafness in many cases
is n ringing sound in the ears. Many
patients describe 1t as noise all
through the head rather than in the ear
itself. 1t is at first intermittent and
occasional. The ringing may be pres
ent for some time, scarcely percepti-
Die, when suddenly the sound will
change, becoming much louder, and
the notes jumping high up In the scale
where it will continue to ring quite
loudly for some minutes, and gradually
die away, to appear again some time
afterWard, 1t may reappear In a few
hours, as the trouble with the ear pro-
crosses. Ringing in the ear may also
be the prelude to an acute attack of
earache; but it here very soon follow
ed by pain, which so predominates over
the ringing that 1t is no longer heard.
If the hearing is properly tested just as
soon as the ringing In the ear has be-
come more or less constant, some de-
gree of deafness will be detected. AS
| so-called superf1uous hearing has been
destroyed, the patient will realize that
| he is becoming deaf.
For this condition there is nothing to
| be done by the patient himself. Ad-
vica from a physician should be obtain
| ed just as soon as diminution of hear
| ing is suspected. Much can be accom-
plished, however, by the patient to-
ward preventing the deafness becoming
worse. Careful attention shouldbe de-
voted TO the general health, to keep
| the nose and throat in as healthy con
dition as possible-to prevent taking
| cOld,' especially colds in the head. Els
posture to changes of weather should
be avoided: the feet never being al
lowed to become wet, or if they do be-
! come wet the shoes and stockings
should be changed for dry ones as soon
as possible. Turkish baths and plenty
of outdoor exercise are strongly recon-
mended. to stimulate the circulation
and inure the system to changes of
| weather.

EACH MAN HAD IRON MERGE.

A Miner Whose Deadly Aim RcIiev-
ell His Friend from Rattle
snake.
There were four of us who had en-
camped for the night on the Gunnison
river in western Colorado. We had
been prospecting for gold with decid-
eddy poor success and were therefore
rather disheartencd, but we endeavor-
ed to keep up our spirits by telling
stories while we lay about the camp
fire and smoked. Suddenly we were
startled by Il peculiar whirring sound,
which every man of Us recognized in
Stantly.
'"fheFe's q RATHER in CAMP cried
Jeffries. as he started up. Look out
for it!''
We all moved rather hastily, with
the exception of Bolton, who lay quite
still on his back, his hands under his
head, his cob pipe having fallen from
his teeth.
"'Sh!'' he whispered For heavens
sake keep still! The snake has crawled
into my Shirt
We knew what that meant, and we
became mOtionlesS instantly. l felt 4
chill of horror run down my spine as
thought of the poisonous reptile snug

| we could see the reptile forked tongue
darting out and his eyes g1ittering,
while his head waved from side to side.
| Still Bolton remained mOtionless, know
ing that the slightest action on his part
might seal his fate. We could see he
was white as a corpse. Jim Nevans,
the best pistol shot of our party, drew
his revolver, pressing on the trigger
as he cooked it so it might not click.
The snakes head was within six inches
OF Bottoms eyes, and it seemed that
the Tenomous creature might strike at
any moment.
Shall l shoot, DaveT softly asked
Neyans,
Shoot" was the only word Bolton
uttered.
The cooked revolver was slowly lift
ed, and every man held his breath. The
weapon spoke, and the bullet cut the
rattlesnake's head from it's body. Like
a flash Dave Bolton leaped to his feet
tore the beheaded reptile from his Dos,

sank down helpless, almost fainting

With These Young Claude ShrOp-
shire Won Success as 81 Lawyer in

The career of the new vice consul
general to Paris, Claude Shropshire, of
Georgia, shows what a young Ameri
can with no other capital than brains
and pluck can achieve. He is tall, of
slender figure, with pair of very fine
dark eyes and face betokening intel
lect He is only twenty-seven years
of age, and Just four years ago, ua-
acquainted with any person In Europe
and'ignorant of any language save his
mother tongue, left his home in North
Georgia for. the capital of France He
quietly announced to few friends his
determination to seek fame and for
tune in Paris. but according to the
Washington Post, they not only dis
couraged his vaulting ambition, but,
to use the slang of the day, gave him
the laugh" What could a yGungster
of tWentysthree, who had only three
years experience at the bar and who
couldn't speak a"word of French, hope
to accomplish III that great city?
III go and try it, anyway" was
Shropshire's answer, and he went.
Luck favored the enterprising young
man from the start, and he GOT place
with tho United States legation, va
cancy occurring through the rcsigna-
ton Of one of the legal advisers. He
studied the language harder than he
ever labored at any college textbook,
and in six months time had a fair vo-
cabularY at his command. To-day he
could DasS muster as native Partisan.
He had a taste of bad fortune, too,
for in Il big riot that occurred during
a great demonstration for an eight
hour working day he suffered severely
at the hands of the mob. He was
Knocked inSensible and had all his
clothes torn off. but the French gov

law, but is an orator of high rank. He
was noted at college for his eloquence

has been vastly improved by his later

ing such an assistant, and in Paris the
appointment was received with great
satisfaction. " '"''
