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 coDdi
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chan Tube. When this tube gets inf1am.
ed you have rumbllng sound or imper.
feet bearing, 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 normal condi>
ton hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflame6
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Sales of GuanO in Georgia.

Hon. o. B. Stevens, commissioner of
agriculture, states that the sales of
guanO in Georgia this year cannot pos
sibly amount to more than rs per cent
of last years sales, and he considers
this rather liberal estimate. Com
missioner Stevens is in better
position than any man in the state to
give an opinion on this subject, for he
requires every guano factory to report
to him every shipment of guanO in,
tended for sale in Georgia; something
by the way, never before known IN the
agricultural department of this state.
Commissioners Stevens makes no pre-.
diction about the cotton acreage, but
from what he says about the sales OF
guano 1t is foregone conclusion that
the Georgia crop will be materially re.
duced next season. - Macon News.

STOLE A HORSE.
Little Negro Boy Jailed Saturday for a
Bold Theft.

Bold Theft.
Perhaps the youngest and one of the
boidest horse thieves ever known was
put in Jail in Dawson Saturday.
Saturday afternoon Johnnie johnson,
a negro boy twelve years old, stole Mr..
w. S. Tedder's horse. Mr.. Tedder lives
in the Eleventh district and bitched his
horse on the old court house square,
where hundreds of people are constantly
passing, when he came to the city Satur-
day. After transacting his business,
and being ready to return home, he went
to get his horse, and was surprised to
find it gone. The officers were notified
and search begun, but nothing was
learned of the missing animal until late
in the afternoon, when Mr.. Tedder and
Walter Christie found the boy riding 1T
on Main street. The harness, which
we're also stolen were found hid near the
home of Mr.. W. H. Mercer on the out
skirts of the city.
The youthful thief was taken to Jail
but was released Monday, he being too
young to be amenable to the law.
His home is on Mrs. Turner's place
three or four miles from the city.

SAVANNAH, Ca, March II. Miss E.
A. rhilo, white, from Waterford, N. Y,
for many years teacher in the Haven
Home for colored children at this place,
died day before yesterday. One OF her
last requests was that her body be
buried in the colored peoples cemetery.
Her attendants readily promised to com.
ply with her wish, but when a burial
permit was applied for difficulty was en-
countered. The health officer declined
to issue the permit. An appeal was
taken to the mayor. lie referred the
matter to the city attorney, who decided
that as the law distinctly set apart one
portion of the cemetery for white per-
sons and another part for colored per-
sons it would be illegal to bury white
person in the colored cemetery. The
permit was therefore refused and the re-
mains of Miss Philo were shipped 10

which the walking stick became not
merely a useful implement, but an ar
ticle of fashion, dignity and luxury. In.
the seventeenth century it was gold

For a long period there was little
variety among Englishmen in the ma
terial used for the majority Of walking
sticks. The "oaken towel, as it was
pleasantly termed when an enemy was
to be rubbed down, shared popular
ity with the crab tree cudgel, which,
among rural folk especially. was much

against Germany for six months. The
people believe thlS~he was hostile to us
in the war with Spain. The people are in
such temper that they will not permit any
trifling or hedging on the part of the
United States. If there should be war,
do not believe that all the European
countries could or would stand against
Great Britain and the United States"
Senator Thurston said that it would
be pretty hard for three of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth to have
war over few little islands which are
of no consequence. He considered the
situation as somewhat grave.
Senator Stewart said: Does Germany
want to fight? If so, she may be ac-
commodated. We are a peaceful people,
but we don't permit others to go around

Potato Queries.

In answer to question as to the best
method of planting potatoes The Farm
Journal advises: /. All things cOnsid-
cred, we prefer to plant in drills rather
than in hills, the drills being az or 8
feet apart, according to soil and vari-
ETY., and the seed being dropped 10 to
IS inches apart g. We have always
been able to grow satisfactory crops by
spreading fertilizer in the bottom Of
drill and mixing it with the soil before
putting in the seed. 3. The number of
eyes to leave on a seed piece depends
great deal on the variety and on the size
of the seed tubers Heavy settlers require
fewer eyes than varieties that are less
prolific in tubers. When small tubers
are used for seed. more eyes must be
left on the piece than when the subers
are large. We usually cut early potatoes
when large to one or two ewes, but
White Stars and similar kinds have
done well for us when we have used
medium tubers cut in half or planted
whole.

We wandered through an all enchanted land;
We loved tlta sun and never dreamt Of shade

How once we parted and how dark our night
IN that fair pathway let our feet be set
Which leads us back into the land of light.

While upon mine your heart beats close once

Bacterial Rot of Cobhou,.

AS there is no remedy known for bac-
terial rot of cabbage, prevention must
be relied upon. These measures are rec
commended in The National stocl,man
and Farmer by Professor Stuart If the
Indiana station:
Avoid planting in land on which in.
fecte6 plants have been grown. Several
years may be necessary to rid the land
of the germs.
Do not use manure containing de-
cayed cabbage leaves or stalks either in
the seeded or field.
Wet land should be avoided, as it IA
vors the development of the disease.
Keep the plants as free from insects
as possible.
Remove and destroy all diseased
plants or portions of the plant ID soon
