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 con-
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
hamed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inflama-
tlon can be taken out and this tube restored
TO It's normal condition, hearing will be des-
tr0yed forever; nine cases out often are caus-
ed by catarrah, which is nothing but an in.
hamed condition of the mucous surfsces.

DEAR SIR Please allow us a
short space in your valuable pa.
per.
We left harrisburg on the 2ed
of August to attend campmeet-
ing at Philippi, W. Va, and
reached our destination about 4
o'clock p. m. We were met and
received cordially by Mr.. W. S.
Male, who had made ample pro.
visions for our comfort.
The campmeeting was held in
Mr., Felton's grove, three miles
east of Philippi, and was said to
be one of the greatest and grand.
est campmeetings held in that
vicinity for many years. The
same was conducted by Rev. W.
d. Pride, of Clarksburg. The
famous and unsurpassed Jubilee
Singers, led by Prof. R. W. Jen-
kins; the basso profundo Of the
age, who sings the lowest and
highest bass of any known singer,
in this country, were in attend
ance. They always give satisfac
ton wherever they go.
OF the hospitality of the people
of this city it may be truly said
that they carried out the princi-
pies of the Golden Rule.
Mr.. j. G. FELTON,, Mrs. d. Eel.
ton, Mr.. j. Duckworth, and Mr..
W. S. Male threw open their
houses for boarding and sleeping,
irrespective Of race or color. This
.Christ-like principle and Chris
tan standard are too grand to so
unnoticed.
On Tuesday August 27 the
apllee singer a>s Ii III "
concert at Philippi. The court.
house was thrown and the song
sters were cordially received by
Mr.. Robinson, the sheriff, and
Mr. ii. FELTON,, clerk of the Cir.
cult Court. A hearty welcome
was also extended to all the citi-
zens.
Much of the success is due to
Mr.. j. FL. FELTON,. This noted
and worthy gentleman holds the
position of clerk of the Circuit
Court, and is a candidate for re-
election. He is thoroughly well
qualified for the Office, and his
county would honor itself by re-
tanning him there.
The reception given to those
of us who were strangers in the
place was of the most gratifying
kind, and our sojourn among the
good people of Philippi will be
long and happily remembered.

convention assembled, and we
are informed that most all OF
those to whom subjects were
assigned responded. The paper
of James b. Morgan, of Gerards.
town, ON 1.-The Sabbath School

fine, and the convention ordered

A couple of men were driving
out of iowa Sunday evening and
had reached the ~. 'or junction,
when the Monongah train came
dashing along. 1t is said that
the men were drunk and dressed
up and that the horses we're
young and tiery--colts, in tact.
Certain it is, at any rate. that
they broke away and dashed
madly along the railroad track,
headed straight for the station.
Unfortunately. the buggy was
not built to travel cross-ties, and
had not the steeds in some way
become disengaged from the car
rage, a great smashup would
doubtless have resulted. AS it
was, only a trace and a single
tree were broken. The men were
strangers, we understand, and
they haven't been heard of since.
