ROCKLAND.

The wheat crop is not coming up to
the expectations of many of the farm
ers, either in yield or quality. Too
many small grains-heads were not
we'll filed. The crop does not come
up to the outlook at harvest time.
The poorest is on the immediate river
bottoms that were flooded in March.
Why, we cannot tell. The wheat
grown on higher land is of better
quality.
Corn is doing well-the present out
look is for great crop.
Potatoes not large yield, but a
good quality.
Mrs. T. G. Druley and children, of
Stafford, Connecticut, are spending
the summer with her parents at the
Putnam homestead.
What has become of the large peach
crop that we had the promise of earl
ier?
The apple crop is not going to be
sufficient for home use, and will be
very inferior in quality. FARMER.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con.
ditIou OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When thir ube gets in
famed you have rumbinE sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the infa mmation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its norm
al condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caus.
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of tue mucous sur.

coward, rney tainted him beyond ell
durance, and when the government wharf
was reached at Fortress Monroe the mast
detected man aboard the transport was
William McComas.
He became respondent and brooded over
the unkind remarks Of his comrades. He
was told that he would be kept at the fort
until his recovery, and then he would be
given his discharge He thought of his
presumed disgrace, and finally, unable to
bear his troubles any longer, he, leaped
over the side OF the transport, and. with
out struggle forfeited his bright young
life. a"
Two days later the body Of the suicide
was recovered in the lower basin of the
river, and it was taken to the fort Tor dls-
position. Then an examination was made
of the remains, and the startling d1scoV-
cry came to light that. a mauser bulle:
had ripped it's way through the youthful
soldiers left lung, making a ragged, IT.
regular hole directly beneath his breast
bone. -,
That the wound was received at santi-
ago was proved by the physicians who ex-
amined the body, and they claim that the
pain caused by the undressed injury must
have been awful in its intensity. The
bullet was found imbedded In the muscles
of the back. ~
When the fact became noised about the
Fortress Monroe barracks that McComas
had been shot in the chest at Santiago
the soldiers Immediately adopted differ
ent tone when speaking OF their dead COM
rade. He had said nothing about his in
jurtes, preferring to bear the pain until he
reached his home; anything to be away
from the maddening jeers Of the men
whom he looked upon as ideal soldiers. "

shades OF grim old Fortress Monroe. !,

The Afro-Amelicans of the North
need to be thoroughly aroused to the
new dangers which confront the race.
There is no donbt of the fact that race
prejudice is stronger at the South today
then it was twenty years ago, and it is
more aggressive then ever. It seems that
the hellish Southern people Rave deter
mined that the fto-Americsn is to be
deprived of every right. Prejudice
against the AFRO American is rapidly
gaining strength in the North. The
Afro-American must be aroused and
combat 10 every'possible way the by dra-
headed monster which threatens. our
rights in the North. Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.

the recent meeting at Quincy, unani

Your committee regrets exceedingly
the condition of the public school system
the southern section of the state. It
is sad to state there is not high school
in the southern pert of the state where
Afro-Amcrican youths can be admitted
thus hindering in a materiaI way the
literary advancement of our people.
Southern prejudice is rapidly advancing
and is pushing it's victories northward
at rapid rate. One stronghold after
another seems to- crumble before the
southern influence. Alton, after nearly
thirty years, of coeducation, has hauled
down the motto, Ono Color Here" and
under the lead of the council of the city
has forced the Afro american children
into the streets, or into separate schools
taught by white teachers, which is clear
ly violation OF the school law of the
State eff Illinois and the charter Of Al
ton. We command the effort Of the
heroic few who are contending for the
right Of sending their children to school
in their several wards as per school law.
We also command the gallant efforts Of
