Platt Rogers, the well known Den.
yer attorney, and who has consider
able interest personally in the devel.
opment of this county, was in Lamar
on Monday on various matter of i'm
portance.
Clifford, the little fifteen months
old child of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Williams, took sick very suddenly
last Sunday afternoon and died in q
few hours. The little one was laid
away in the cemetery and another

most competent teacher and has held
the attention of the class throughout

ing class on Friday, a singing society
was organized. and Mrs. Mabel Max
well was elected leader and Mrs. Ed
ma Gould organist. The class will
meet each Monday evening. Tonight
a concert is to be given at which the
Bridges troupe will give an entertain
ing program, which will, we are sure,
repay all who attend The proceeds
will be partially for the benefit of the
church.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they canno reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness j.
caused by an inilamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have \ rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont
aud this tube restored to fts normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarTh,
