DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
lnfiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets lnflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
Is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inf1amed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

In all our newspaper experience We
have never had business with any ad-
vertisers whom we appreciate more
than Longman & Martinez, of New
York.
The COMMONWEALTH has done adj
vertising for them two seasons, and the
contracts have been made directly with
them and not through any agency at
all, and we make these observations
without their knowledge.
In these days when 90 many people
are trying to get something for moth
ing (Which spirit controls 50 many ad-
vertisers, we are sorry to say we take
pleasure in saying that Longman &
Martinez, the great paint dealers of
New York, have been as fair and as
modest in their demands as advertisers,
and as prompt in their remittances as
any persons We have ever done bust
ness with.
They have treated this paper like
they regarded its editor as a gentle
man. They have been courteous and
have been free to express appreciation
OF good service rendered them, and
have paid for the service promptly and
without quibbling in any way whatever.
They are clever people and We shall
eyer be glad to serve them.

A LITTLE F1RE.-saturday morning
at IL 80 o'clock the alarm of fire was
given, and as our people are always re-
sponsive to such calls, the street was
soon thronged with people hurrying
to extinguish 1t. It proved to be the
kitchen of the now residence of Mr.. J.
E. Woodland in the southwest EXTERN
lty OF the town, and was quickly ex-
tinguished. Little damage was done.
DIFFERENT V1Ews.-It is almost
amusing to hear the various opinions
that people have about the crops. One
says that while the spring was late and
crops were thrown badly behind, they
are looking fairly we'll. Another says
that bat for grass that has troubled
farmers so much crops would have been
fine, and they are looking pretty we'll
anyway. Still another says that the
prospect is very poor--pooress he has
seen for years. And go it goes-as
many opinions as there are people.
WHO WERE THEY?-Persons living
at the south end OF Main street in
Greenwood reported up town Monday
morning that Sunday night while many
people we're at church, some persons
were very noisy down there, shooting
and making other disturbing noises.
They were thought to be white boys
and those who we're disturbed fel: much
annoyed. This was very bad conduct,
and deserves punishment. ALI good
people deprecate such conduct and those
who engage in it would act wisely in
listening to those who advise against
1t.
