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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inAamed 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 restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troved forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Ice Gorges.

The ice gorge continues station
airy in the river opposite Port De-
post and below, and the prospect
is good for one of the historic floods
for which Port is too familiar. The
river above is full of heavy ice
which will not come down till the
water rises sufficiently to lift it
from its anchorage and send it down
stream which may occur at any
time between now and the middle
of March.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
An Association to be Organized at
Port Deposit.

On Friday night a very interest
ing meeting of the Lend "a Hand
Club and the citizens of the town
was held to continue the discussion
of plans to better the condition of
the town. Mr.. III. A. Caldwell,
president of the club, presided.
Mr.. Robert G. Hopkins spoke on
the financial condition of the town
and the proper manner to raise
money. Prof. A. B. Leach gave q
very thorough talk on the improve
ments made in a number of towns
in Massachusetts, Maine, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, by village
improvement societies. The first
one was organized in Massachusetts
and was composed of six ladies and
one man, who by their persistent
efforts enlisted the sympathy of
gentlemen ofmeans, who contributed
largely Of money, and within eight
years the town had good streets,
lined with shade trees, electric
lights, a small park and an excel
lent library for the use of the
general public. Not only this town,
but a large number in the other
states were improved in the same
manner. Rev. W. w. Shaw, DR..
W. P. Eveland, director of the
Tome Institute, and a large number
of citizens participated in the dis
cussiOn and it was the consensus of
opinion that an improvement
society should be formed here.
The meeting adjourned to meet
(this) Friday night to organize one.
If a suggestion from an outsider
is not deemed an impertinent in
trusion by the Hand-to-H Hand work
ers, it is that no permanent i'm
provement can be made to the
town till the icegorges are shut out
which could he done by a strong
levee from the quarries to lower
part of the town. If that were
effected the river side of the town
could be made beautiful by plant
ing trees. There is no incentive to
improve where an ice gorge with
its flood of mud and water sweeps
through every third or fourth year
and is expected every year.
