buying system formed the grand combi-

Three Doctors in Consultation.

From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick. what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine in
the first place; what experience tells you
is best. to be chosen in the second place
what reason Il. e.. Theory says is best
is to be chosen in the last place. But il
you can get DIR. Inclination. DR.. Expert
ence and DIR. Reason to hold consulia-
ton together. they will give you the best
advice that can be taken.
When you have bad cold DIR. Incli-
nation would recommend Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend il because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
DR.. Reason would recommend it be-
cause it is prepared on scientific prinei-
pies, and acts on natures plan in reliev.
ing the lungs, opening the secretions and
restoring the system to natural and

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by localapplications, as they cannotreach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness ia caused by an inflamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in.
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire.
ly closed deafness is the result, and un.
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an intlemed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Loses Many Dollars.

The State OF Tennessee is losing many
thousands of dollars annually by the
non-collection of privilege taxes.
The figures given in Comptroller Har-
ris, report show this on their face. Ac-
cording to a casual glance at the figures,
the losses are enormous. The privilege
tax collectors of the State are the coun-
ty court clerks.
The number of counties in the three
sections of the State is as follows: Mid
die Tennessee Al, East Tennessee 81,
West Tennessee 81.
West Tennessee, S145, 900; Middle Ten
nessee, Sill. 900; East Tennessee, $75,'
600.
West Tennessee with iwenty-one
counties pays $4,000 more privilege
taxes than Middle Tennessee with for
tyrone counties.
West Tennessee pays 100000 more
privilege taxes than East Tennessee
with thirteen counties more. 1t is evil
dent that there is more business in Mid
die and West Tennessee. Middle Ten
nessee is more populous and contains
more wealth. County court clerks in
West Tennessee are more diligent than
those of Middle Tennessee.
The figures show that there is some,
thing wrong. The State is evidently
losing money.

The Paris Figaro says that the word
'sirdar," which has been so frequent
" used since the exploits of Lord Kitch-
ener, is a contraction of the Arabic
words, "Sayer ed nar;" that sayer
means inspector or watcher, and dar
means palace-ergo, inspector of the
palace" Webster's International Die
tionary, however, says that "sirdar"
comes from the Persian "sardar;
''sar," the head, top, and "dar," holding
possession-hence a chief or general.
The earlier editions of Webster's
dictionary contained a verb Ito Jew,
and defined it "to cheat, ito play with, =
