Despite the efforts OF the calamity.
howlers and monopoiists in West
Virginia to make it appear that its
industries have been crippled by the
passage OF the Tariff bill, there are
almost daily announcements of the
resumption of business enterprises.
The latest is from Huntington, where
the Ensign Car Manufacturing Com
pany, which has oeen idle for year,
went to work one day this week with
about two hundred men, which will
be gradually increased to the full ca
pacity of the works. At the same
time an order came from the office Of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to
work longer hours at the extensive
shops IN Huntington, and to put on a
larger force. But stronger proof that
the monopolists do not believe what
they say is given in the fact that sew.

Deafness Cannot ,be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condirion OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases oui of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Huddred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

NORFOLK, Oct. 2S.-The coal and
lumber fleet is large and constantly
increasing one at this port. At the
L.mbert's Point piers and at Pinnen's
Point and the West Norfolk wharves,
just opposite, seventy-fve- or eighty
sails are sometimes in sight. Vessels
and barges are three and four deep at
the wharves. At West Norfolk and
Pinnen's Point, on the southern side
Of the harbor, large lumber shipping
is done, and when the Atlantic & Dan
vile railroad reaches the coal field Of
Southwest Virginia the traffic on that
line will be solely at the West Norfolk
piers. The various factories at this
poirt are already steadily building up
the place, and the outlook is encour-
aging for good sized town there in a
few years more. The log trains on
the railroad lines into the lumber re-
gops of Eastern North Carolina are
doing large business just now, and
il is steadily increasing. The Ports.
