Are You in 1t :?

Mr.. Chas. B. Spahr OF Columbia Univer-
sity has recently examined the records OF
the surrogates of thirty five counties in
the state OF New York, covering the last
three months OF 1893 and including the
counties Of New York and Kings, the
richest in the state. The results are re-
markable as showing how few people
leave any estates at all and the low aver
age value OF the estates left
Out Of 10000 persons over twenty five
years of age dying during the quarter, only
1856 left estates equal to or exceeding IS 900
2,466 " averaging Ell 1892
e,649 i" /" valued at NJ ~ 1900
Think of it Less than 8 per cent were
worth 50, 900 and less than Is per cent were
worth 81 1872 when they died. The con.
clusion is that whether 9,115 out OF every
1900 leave an estate OF 5000 or not de-
ponds upon whether they have life insur-
ance to that amount or not.

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 iufamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfamed 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 res tored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused BY catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

IT MAY Be Mr.. PLANT.
WHO WILL HAVE THE COLUMBU S
SOUTHERN ROAD

when the Final Show Comes DOwn--The
Southern owns Majority of the Bonds
and Made the Receivership Move.
There were some sensational develop
ments in the proceedings before Judge
Newman, of the United States Court, in
Atlanta the osherday, for permanent
receiver for the Col umbus Southern rall>
way.
Mr.. T. E. Blanchard, of Columbus,
was recently appointed temporary le-
ceiver of the Columbus Southern up N
petition Of the holders of majority Ut
the bonds. This came after the sale OF
S546. 900 of bonds by the ChattahOochee
Brick Company. These bonds were sold
through broker and the officials of the
Chattahoochee Brick Company at the
time disclaimed any knowledge who the
purchaser was. 1t now turns up just as
was predicted at the time, that it was
none other than the Southern railway
that purchased these bonds.
When the proceedings were taken up
before the court looking to the appoint
u60I VI pOAuAoAOhS ASNSA'NAf A-~' AO
pold WalIach, representing Ladenburg,
Thalman & Co., of New York, and Simon
Borg & Co, of New Y ork, filed interVen-
tions contesting the validity of the cou,-
pons which were sold by the Chattaho0-
chez Brick Company.
Ladenburg, Thalman & Co., hold $780,
900 of bonds of the Columbus Southern
and Simon Borg & Co., hold the same
amount. This makes 100000 of the
holdings. 1t is thought that these com
panies, being strong allies of the Plant
system, are pulling for that company
and that The outcome of it will be that
the c ,lumbus Southern will be sold after
all to the party who is willing to pay the
most for it.
It is further believed that MI. Plant is
willing to pay more for the road than
anybody else, it being absolutely neces-
saIy for him to have an outlet to the
north through Atlantr make anything
like a successful tilt in the traffic world
of the south with the Southern aud the
other great railroad systems of thfs Sec
ton.
1t is said by those who ought to know
that the Plant people will certainly be at
the sale of the Columbus Southern when
it occurs and that they will be willing
to pay good price for the property in
order to get it away from the partial
grasp of the Southern railway.

a Good Dinner
CURIOUS COMPETITION,
A Strange Business in Which There Is Hot
Competition.

Competition.
The old saying that competition is
the life of trade" finds utterance every
day and will live long as an undisputed
fact, but the great west, which hass fur
nished W eaver, Lease, Simpson, Bloody
Brides Wait, and other things,now comes
forward with case of unique, competi-
ton in a business in which one would
Judge that but little liveiness is desired.
Among the cities of Perry, Guthrie
and Oklahoma City, in Oklahoma terrific
~. there has grown up great rivalry as
to which city shall have the greatest
rush IN the divorce business.
AS is well known, the divorcellaws of
Oklahoma are so lax that residence of
ninety days is about the only thing neces-
sarv to secure a divorce, and that terri
tory has become the Mecca of those to
whom the bonds of marriage have become
1istasteful.
So intense is the competition among
the cities .above referred to that one OF
them, Oklahoma City has employed a
divorce seekers, drummerlR who boards
trains entering the territory and induces
divorce-seekers to spend the necessary
ninety days in the city by which he is
employed.
The individual goes through the trains
learns, if possible, the destination of
every passenger and if he thinks they
are divorce-seekers hands them a card
upon which is printed the following:
"You are guaranteed absolute seclu-
sion in Oklahoma City and freedom
from lnquisitive reporters or others dur
ing residence there, and divorce deer ees
are never published.
The cities are anxious to secure these
residents because they ;are high liverS
and during the several week of idleness
which they are forced to pass they spend
considerable money, while the various
fees amount to a considerable sum.
1t is a strange business and the compe-
tition that it causes is curious.

ROAD?
1t Is Said That Work Will Be Begun OF
One Within Sixty DAYS,


One Within Sixty DAYS,
The following, which we find in the
cambridge Democrat, will prove of in
terest to THE NEWS readers. There has
been considerable activity of late among
the projectors of this road, and the indi>
cations are that they intend to begin
actual work:
Work on the Georgia Pine Railway,
from cambridge to Arlington and thence
to Dawson, will probably begin, so we
learn from its projectors, within the next
sixty days, and the road will be in opera
ton to Arlington in time to move the
cotton crop of 1896. The rights of way
have nearly all been secured, and this
labor will be completed before beginning
the work of grading and track laying.
The company is composed of gentlemen
of large means and are able to perform
all they undertake. They have opened
offices in this city over the express office
on Broad street, where they will be
pleased to see their friends when they
wish to see them on business
