Catarrhal Deafness Cured.-An Old

The symptoms are: Roaring, crack

If not cured the hearing wilfbe entirely

MIR. Frederick Bierman, of Macomh
City, Miss, had chronic catarrh very
badly for many years. The disease
finally passed up the eustachian tube

some OF the papers, we notice, are
claiming that if the date of the inau>
guration were changed from the 4th
Of March to the S0th of April, that
Inauguration day would fall on Sun
day more frequently than it does now.
They are however, a little bit mistaken.
During this present century reconing
from the 4th of March 1901 to the 4th
OF March, 1897, Inauguration day has
only fallen on Sunday three times :
1928, ls47 and 1877 once in every twenty
eight years; and if the year 1900 were to
be a leap year, then March 4th, 1905
would fall on Sunday. April Both, in
Inauguration years, has fallen on Sun
day four times during this century:
1909, 1887, 1885 and 1893. Any fixed
date chosen for Inauguration day will
necessarily fall on Sunday once in
every twenty eight years whether that
date is March 4th or April 3Oth. Con-
gress though could very easily enact
q law providing that, when Inaugural
ton day falls on Sunday March 4th or
Sunday April S0th Monday March 9th
or Monday, May LIST should be inau
guration day, which would forever
prevent all disputes as to the legality
of the Inauguration of a President
occurring on those days.

THE LEGISLATURE.
What is Being Done by Our SOlOns at
Nashville.
NASHVILLE, March 81. 1913.

NASHVILLE, March 81, '93.
When the Malone Fee Bill came up
in the Senate a lengthy debate ensued,
during which a strong opposition was
developed, and the measure was virtu-
ally killed by the defeat of a motion to
postpone discussion.
A number of memorials we're read
asking for the passage of the bill re-
curing the study of physiology and
hygiene in the public schools.
A bill was introduced to repeal the
act requiring separate railway cars for
white and black races.
A bill was read requiring commits
sioners of taxing districts of the second
class to publish a report of the fnan-
cial condition of their districts once a
year.
The bill to protect Seventh Day Ad-
ventists in their religious observances
was rejected.
In the House a bill to protect game
Washington and Carter Counties for
five years was passed.
A lengthy memorial from Judge
Dubose was read, reciting his side of
the case, and making some strong
points in his favor. A warm discussion
followed. The memorial is a state
ment of facts counter to the charges in
the article of impeachment, and con-
cludes with a declaration that the
Judge has done no wrong, but his
plain duty.
Mr.. Campbell introduced a resolu-
ton in the Senate that, had it been a
law one year ago would have robbed
Prof. Smith of much notoriety. 1t
requires all professors and employees in
State schools and institutions to keep
out of politics.

GOOD ROADS.

At no time in the history of our
country has the subject of road i'm
provement attracted as much atten-
ton as now. And at no time has there
been so great need of agitation of the
subject. The question of good roads
interests all; none are exempt from
the consequences of bad roads, and
none but would share the benefit of
good ones. That good roads are need
e~d-desired. in fact-none will dispute,
but the trouble has been and still is
how best can such things be brought
about. The matter of construction of
public roads under State, County and
Government supervision has been
discussed. and each plan has its
friends and advocates. 1t is a fact
that should the general Government
undertake the work it would be well
done. Some time ago a movement
looking to the establishing of a Road
Department, in connection with the
Agricultural Department, was put on
foot, and a bill passed by Congress
making an appropriation for the pur-
pose Of proper investigation of the
subject. A multitude of endorsements

Our School.

1t is with a large degree of pride that
we refer to the condition of our school.
At no time within our acquaintance
with the Jonesboro Graded School have
we heard SO many and such general
expressions of sa isfaction with the
work and progress of teachers and pu
pills as at this time. An unusual inter
est is manifest in every grade, and the
general verdict seems to be that great.
Ell good is being accomplished by the
present corps of teachers than at any
previous time. Prof. Sheriff. is a de-
voted and competent superintendent,
and his assistants seem to be imbued
with a spirit of determination to make
the school a model one. Too much
credit can not be given to the Board
for the ~deepinterest they are manifest
ing in the matter.

OUR esteemed contemporary the Knox
vile Journal in speaking of the recent
nomination of Col. Felix A. Reeve to
be Solicitor of the Treasury, says that
he went from Knoxville into the war.
This is a mistake-Felix A. Reeve is a
native of Greene County-south of the
river from Greeneville. And was
along prior to the war of a clerk in
the store of his uncle Smith Reeve at
Rheatown, Greene County. Almost at
the beginning of the wal he went to
Washington City, and from there he
went to Camp Dick Robinson, Ken
lucky, and became Colonel of the Sth
Tennessee Infantry Volunteers. His
regiment did some gallant service in
Eastern Tennessee in the fall of 1868,
and in the siege of Knoxville, and also
under Sherman in his Atlanta camp
paign of 1854. The Colonel's brother, a
gallant officer, was killed in one of the
Georgia battles of that campaign.
After the war Col. Reeve settled at
Greeneville and began the practice of
law, and in the year 1870 he was the
Democratic nominee for Circuit Judge
In this judicial circuit and was defeat
ed by Judge E. E. Gillenwaters Colo
mel Reeve married a daughter of Hon.
Horace Maynard, and it was doubtless
through Maynard's influence that
Reeve, a stalwart Democrat, got a good
position in Washington in 1880, under
a Republican administration.
