IN SOCIETY'S REALM

With the exception of the Senior GER
ments have marked the social program
of the week. which seems rather
strange, for the days subsequent upon
the New Year. Nearly every evening
parties of some kind have taken place.
and although Astounding in mirth and
pleasure, have been on n small scale.
The annual charming visitors are be-
ginning to make their appearance. and.
of course. will have to be entertained.
Then Norfolk promises II sayer wh!rl
and that rush from whence there is no
rest will be the order of ,he day.
Monday was celebrated as New Years
Day. and was generally observed as Il
holiday. 1t Is to be remarked that not
a single house was open to receive the
callers who annually flock to our doors
to welcome a period OF peace ard hap
piness to those within. 1t seems the
od-Jime habit of making New Years.
calls is now almost obsolete. and al
though beautiful and pleasant custom
1t was one that was greatly abused

The Agitation for Better Roads.

We receive the following from
Elkton:
"The County Commissioners are
seriously contemplating the better
ments of the road system, and it is
likely that a mile of model road
will be built under the supervision
of the geological survey, which has
been in correspondence with the
County Commissioners. Senator
Crothers' proposed road law for the
State is meeting with general APP
proval from all parts of the county
and he will have the united sup
port here in his effort to better the
condition of the roads"
We hope Senator Crothers will
have his road law well in hand
soon so that an outline, embodying
the salient points, will be in shape
for publication. Eight papers in
the county are waiting impatiently
to pitch into it and show wherein
it is "no good" but suggest no
improvement. That is the luck OF
all reformers. Hurry up friend
Crothers that we may all have a
slap at it.

the stable to feed his horse. Pro

his bedroom, Tucker seated him
self on the trunk and shot himself,

husbands hand, but was too late
to prevent the shooting. The de-

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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube. is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catsrrh
