Dentist John Bishop, of this city,
tells us that he has letter that he
lately received from his brother,
Mr.. A. 0. Bishop, who is now at the
home of his parents at ST. Charles,
Madison county, Iowa, stating that
he would come up and pay his
brother visit, in short time. This
gentleman was one of the Captain
James G. Gilmore scouting party
who were captured on the east coast
of Luzon, in the Philippines, and
for many months was towed around
all over the island, suffered untold
hardships and narrowly escaped
death many times. He promisesSto
give lecture, telling US of his ex-
ploits, when he comes up.
The social given by the mem ers
of the Cemetery Association at the
K. P. Hall, Tuesday evening, was
one of the most successful and
pleasant affairs of the season. The
hall was beautifully and lastly dec.
GRATED and everything was so man
aged as to add to the comfort and
enjoyment of those in attendance.
An interestingprogram was render
ed which metthe appreciation of all
in attendance. The receipts for the
evening amounted to $41.67. The
members of the society feel very
grateful to the public for its patron
age and trust that they may so ex-,
pend the money in caring for the
cemetery that they will always have
the hearty support of the people of
the town and vicinity.

A House of BuIrushes.

ern Australia was quite unique both
from its frail form of construction and
also the several purposes to which it
was devoted. This remarkable build
ing was made at Perth, then merely a
town site, by soldiers of the Second
company, Sixty-third regiment, shortly
after the detachment arrived at the
colony in 1929. and was composed al
most entirely of buIrushes. In adj
dition to this rude little edifice being
used on Sundays for divine worship, it
sometimes served as an amateur thea
ter during the week. and was used
during the whole time as a barracks.

Sitting in the shadow that the spreading pines

To the witching voice of springtime with her
promises of May.
Where the ripping waters Of the brooklet cleai

Murmur fairy music as they flow just at my feet,
Tune thy soul to hear it, for tits of higher BIRTH
Spirit unto spirit the dearest things OF earth.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BIZ local applications they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness and that is by con-
stitutIonal remedies. Deafness is caused by
an 1nfiamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you hav rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inf1amma-
ton 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
infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
