There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

AN OPEN DOOR,

While we have a good idea of
what is expected In the far East we
are interested more directly in our
own Sequachee Valley and want to
make our readers interested as well.
For two weeks we have published a
notice calling on persons and organ.
izatiOns to furnish information AS to
land and location for settlers, to aid
the railroads in their efforts to
build up the State. In the past
when agents have been sent to look
up the chances for immigration we
are told that in many sections of the
state they have'met with scant cour.
tesy and Eeen looked upon with sus-
piCion. AS we do nOt..want that to
apply to the efforts of the railroad
company in this section we want our
people to show them emphatically
that here is an open door TO good,
capable, industrious people looking
for home.
AS we understand it the position
of the railroad companies operating
an Tennessee is this. This object is
mutual instead of operating in a
sParsely settled territory; they want
to build up the State by immigra.
ton and they do the work of infOrma-
ton at their own cost. They have
no lands to sell but want infOrma-
ton as to property that when appli-
cation is made to their agents they
may be able to give reliable inf6rma-
ton and the prospective settler comes
and makes his own trade. If the
conditions in one section do not suit,
they take him to another until he is
suited, all they ask being fair treat
ment to any person their agents
bring for theipurpose.
The columns of this paper are al.
ways open to assist anything of this
kind. Our personal services are Of
zen called upon for information,
which we cheerfully give and there
is nothing OF more Importance as we
look at it than the filling up of the
Sequachee Valley with good settlers
Now, we want everyone between
Bridgeport and Pikeville, if they
control any lands that can be sold t.

propose to invite settlers.

Of them can ever take her for his wife.

Of her days. But they must also stand
by and succor each other, and If needs

Advantage of straight Rows.

When it comes to cultivating, it is
easy to appreciate the advantage of
planting the hills as nearly on straight
lines each way as it is possible to
make them. The cultivator can be
run up close to the hill on each side,
loosening the soil and making the corn
grow rapidly from the first. Even if
there is variation of two or three
inches one way OF the other, it is i'm
possible to do good ork, for one side
of the cultivator has to be tilted up so
as to keep it from digging out or cut-
ting off the corn or potato plants that
were out Of place. 1t is best, when
first going through the field with the
cultivator, to use very narrow blades
for the cultivator, and turn from rather
than towards the hill. The next cul-
tivation should quickly follow and re-
verse this. A little quite loose soil
thrown among the plants in the hill
will smother all weeds and will also
make all the corn and potatoes grow
faster. .-American Cultiyator.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKnAM.1

A woman with the blues is very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkhum for her
advice. Her advice is thorough com
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story Of Mrs +. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-Y have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.

Agricultural Notes.


A new virtue has been found for
the crimson rambler rose. 1t is fine
for cutting.
1T is poor policy to try to make the
feed in steers stomach take the
place of shelter over his back.
Sweet potato rot is prevented by
applying with the fertilizer or in a
drill, 300 pounds per acre of flour OF
sulphur.
Careful brooding, iudicious feeding
and plenty Of fresh air and exercise
mean strong, healthy chickens, and
the most important point of oil is
brooding at the beginning.
We have no domestic birds that
mature faster than ducks. Their
appetite, SO far from being an objec.
tion, is their good recommendation
They eat for good purpose.
Push the young lambs. Don't
worry hbout overlooking them. Pro-
vide o creep where the little fellows
may have constant access to ground
feed, and their wondrous growth will
please you.
An Illinois rose grower says the
plague of fungi and insects on roses
is not a serious one, and that he can
keep them in check by the occasional
use Of kerosene emulsion. Nor are
many sprayings necessary. The thing
is to "be in tine."
Buy fertilizers in as condensed n
form as possible. 1t does not pay to
buy those of low grade, for they con-
tain less of the desired elements in
proportion to their cost than do the
higher grades, and the cost of freight
and handling is oil out of proportion
to their value.
The subject of early pasture for, a
flock is important to be considered.
Every farm flock should be provided
with pasture as early in the season as
possible. 1t greatly helps the milk,
both in quantity and quality, and il
saves the costly hand feeding which
| reduces the profit.
