THE summer styles for ladies were
never more beautiful, as a glance at the
windows of Mrs. S. E. Reedy's store
will show. 1t costs no more for the
ladies to wear those elegant looking
goods, than they pay for ordinary sorts,
and those little tricks at OrnamentatiOn
impaired to those who deal at Mrs.
Reedy's store is worth considerable, and
there is nothing so dear to the feminine
heart as pretty clothing and the art OF
looking well wearing it.

The Lost Found.

Miss Bailey, of near Milford, lost a
very pretty jacket last week; but this
did not worry her little bit, for she
put few words in the "cent a word
column of the CHRONICLE on Friday
last, and in few hours the lost apparel
was heard from at the ice cream saloon
of Mr.. Fred Arnold. If you have lost
or found anything, the CHRONICLE will
helpyOu. If you have anything you
don't want, let the other fellows know
it through the CHRONICLE, and both
will be made happy. The only way to
sell a cOw,a horse, a pig, wagon, hay,
fodder or corn, is to let the other folks
know you have them for sale. You
don't want them, they do so adver-
tise the fact in the CHRONICLE.

Deafness cannot Be Cured.

BY local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is Onl,,
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing,an when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation 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
inhamed condition Of the mocous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Gene. Send
for circulars, free.

THERE was a great howl this week
because a prOperty-hOlder put cur
down on what he thought should be
the proper line, by other property hold
ers on South Front street, and now there
is demand for Council to establish
grade and curb lines. That is exactly
the work Council would have done, if
the obstructionists had not caused the
bill before the Legislature to be killed.
Now Council can barely pay off the
claims already incurred, and keep up
current expenditures. The streets Of
Milford must be graded and curb lines
be established before any permanent
Improvements can be made.
