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 condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 infiamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

ISOLATION will be held in New Berne

A comprehensive and liberal premi-
um list has been issued. This fair
is one of more unique and particu-
lar interest than any other in the
country from the fact that its main
exhibits comprise a showing of the
wealth of the salt and fresh waters

its magnificent forests. A splendid
programme has been arranged for
the week. Over one hundred mar
shals have been appointed from

ment of the State, and the society
feature of the event will be some
thing never before eclipsed in "Tar-
heeldom." We have no hesitancy
in assuring the people that visit to
the New Berne fair is something tt
be effected if possible.

SILVER DOLLARS.
Eighteen Million Will Bo Ordered Coined
at Once.

Eighteen Million Will 30 Ordered Coined
at Once.
About February l the Treasury
department will resume the coinage
of silver dollars and continue until
about SIS, OOO, 900 have Deen coined.
When the present administration
came into power there were in the
Treasury about 500 200, 900 in silver
dollars, coined from bullion under
the act of 1890. and available for
the resumption of Treasury notes is
sued in payment Of the bullion pur-
chased. Since August, 1893, about
SIS, OOO, 900 of these notes have been
redeemed in silver dollars and can
celled. The Secretary of the Treas
ury has now decided to coin from
the bullion now on hand and purchas-
ed under the act of 1890, about $751;
OOO, 900 which will restore the
amount of dollars in the Treasury
to what it was on March 4, 1893.
The average cost of the silver bull
lion purchased under the Sherman
act was III cents on the dollar,
which leaves a gain or seigniorage
of 284 cents on the dollar. At this
rate the seigniorage on the $751;
! 600, 900 to be coined would be So
100, 900, which will be accounted for
| in the available cash on hand, IN
creasing it by that amount. The
order for the resumption of the coin
age at the minis of Philadelphia,
New Orleans and San Francisco is
expected in a day or two.

Esper is one of the best pitchers
in the business, but he lushes too
much.
Brodie missed his second fly ball

McGraw is practicing every day,
but it is not likely that be viii play
regularly this season.
A new schedule has been made
for the G. V. League, owing to Han

1t looks like this will be the last
year for the G. V. League, as all the
towns are way in the hole financially.
Chambersburg has signed Lucid.

Getting, one of the Hanover pitch

is almost as severe and dangerous as
Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best

WEEKLY CRoP BULLETIN.-The
weeks temperature averaged about
degrees per day above the normal,
and the greater part of the week was
excessively warm and sultry. Corn,
oats and grass suffered greatly and
the continuous wetweather seriously
interfesed with farm work, the
ground being too wet to use farm
machinery. Complaints are general
in the northern counties of wheat
sprouting in the stacks. The grass
fields are heavy with weeds as are
also the corn fields. Potatoes in
these sections are still rotting in the
ground. Fruit and gardens have
lso suffered considerably. In the
eastern Pan Handle and in the
southeastern and southern counties
less rain fell and sll the crops are in
much better condition, having suf-
fered little or no damage. The clos
ing days of the week were fair and
gave more sunshine and afforded OPP
portunisy to do much needed farm
work.
