"She." The BREcKENKIDGE News "has ig.
nored Meade's claim to the first Senator, because
she cannot successfully controVert that claim
Meade County Messenger.
The fact is, the people OF Meade don't
make any "claim;" it is only the Meade
County Messenger that makes it, and
this braggadocio" demand will cause the
defc at of Gus Richardson. Meade county
has no Just claim over Breckenridge or
Hancock, neither has Breckenridge or
Hancock over the other two. Weare as
sociated as one district and this sectional
idea is not good one. No man is against
Richardson because he is from Meade
county and no man should oppose Gross
or Minor because they are citizens OF
breckenridge county. This is the theory
that the News entertains in regard to the
district, but when driven in self defense
by the unjust boasts and "claims" and
demands" to take a stand, you will al
ways find us standing by the side OF a
home man, helping him fight his battles,
especially when the man we defend is
the equal, if not the superior, in every
respect, and as deserving as his Oppo-
nents. Jack Gross deserves more at the
hands OF the Democratic party than eth
er of his opponents, and we cannot afford
to treat our best friends in an unbecom-
ing manner.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot 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 infamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an innamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
