by rain, rain, rain, mud and slush.
We are in the midst of p big wet
spell and every body is about to
tire Oft already. What poor short
sighted mortals we all be except
the candidates,
Cotton seems to be starting off
like it would make something yet,
while early corn seems to be too far
spent.
Many thanks to Captain J. B.

The health OF the community is
generally good, with DR.. Duvall

We have aquestion for that COM

Col. Sumter Mcbride, of Austin,
has been spending several weeks in
New York. A few weeks ago,
being in need Of some money, he
applied to g Broadway bank to
cash q draft.
"What is your name ?" asked the
teller.
"CoI. Sumter Mcbride, sir, of
Austin, Travis County, Texas"
"You will have to be identified,
Colonel"
This was something the Colonel
had not taken into consideration.
He knew of nobody who could
identify him, and was about to
leave the bank when q happy
thought occurred to him. He
reached into his breast pocket, and
brought out a photograph of him
self, and holding 1t under the nose
of the bank official said:
"There, sir; guess that settles it,"
"Of course, that's your photo.
graph, but how does that identify
you?
"Well, sir, will you please tell me
how I could have my photographs

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
st%itutiOnal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iniamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when It
Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can DE taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
Caused by catarrh) that cannot be
