Deafness Cannot be Cured

the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. De2 fness
is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucus lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumb-

and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's

destroyed forever; nine cases out

Peaceful Close of a Long Life

Capt. A. b. Starke of Lake
Weir died Tuesday morning, Oct.
26, at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. j. G. Porter, having lived
fourscore and five years. He was
born In South Carolina in 1918
and had lived at Lake Weir since
1887. He was married to Miss
Mary Stratford in 1852, and was
the father of Mrs. j. G.. Porter,
Lake Weir, Fla, Oscar Starke,
Louisville, KY, and Mrs. John
Starke, Palmetto, Fla. ,all of whom
survive him.
The incidents of his life were
full of interest, while the sum
total made an example for coming
generations to follow. He had the
purity and sturdiness of the old
South Carolina families from
which he came, and left his mem
DRY a priceless heritage to those
who survive him. He was a man
of remarkable patience and ener-
gy. Although an invalid and
confined to his bed for three years
he never grew impatient, but was
cheerful and appreciative of every
favor. He was a member of the
Baptist church and filed the office
of deacon with dignity and eff
cheney. 1t seemed that Christ was
always in his heart. He lived
very close to his Savior, a man of
faith and prayer. He acted out
his faith, scattering seeds of kind
ness and doing good whenever he
could. Truly he lived blameless
life and was fully prepared for the
great change.
The funeral services and burial
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Wander
water of Gambler, took place at
Lake Weir, Wednesday morning,
Oct. q. The book of life is closed
and his many friends condole with
those who mourn. E.. [. 3.

The editor of the Banner in last
weeks edition makes a most sour
rilous and uncalled for attack on
Mr.. Flagler and the editor and
owner of the Times-U Union and
Citizen, men who are and have
for years been numbered among
the public benefactors of our
state and county. He says: "Mr.
Flagler has done much for Flor
ida and is to be applauded for all
he has done, but he built hotels
and railroads with bushels of
money. st. Clair Abrams, did
these things by the mere force of
his genius. ** Who accom-
plished the greater feat?"
1t is neither men, means nor
methods we are after, but results.
How many of St. Clair Abrams
railroads or hotels are scattered
over our state. Do the facts JUS
tify the statement that he has
ever constructed or caused to be
constructed anything of lasting
or permanent good anywhere in
the state? If so who furnished
the capital. An examination of
some of his wonderful achieve
ments alongside those of Mr..
Flagler might make interesting
reading.
The editor of the Banner goes
on to say that this great man, St.
Clair Abrams. has done enough
to put the editor of the Times
Union and Citizen to shame.
Mr.. Geo. w. Wilson is the editor
referred to. For twenty-three
years he was recognized as one of
the enterprising. and progressive
citizens of Marion county and it
ill becomes the editor of the Ban
ner to besmirch his good name.
The people of this county are too
well acquainted with Mr.. Wilson
to believe such stuff as emanates
from the editor of the Banner.
Through the aid of some of his
warm friends in this county we
have obtained an account of some
of his work in Marion county. It
might be briefly enumerated as
follows: He built the first steam
boat on Orange Lake that for
number of years carried all the
fruit of that section; he paid
100000 to the transportation
companies while he resided in this
county and over $4,000 for labor;
he planted 5000 orange trees,
built saw mills and churches.
He spent nearly $4,000 in expo
sitions, iron foundries and chau-
tauquas; he distributed over L.
100000 pieces of advertising mat
ter for the State of Florida and
nearly one million pieces of liter
allure for the democratic party:
he has induced as many if not
more people to locate in Florida
and Marion county than any man
who ever resided in the county.
He was instrumental in having
the Florida Southern pass
through the city of Ocala; he en-
