A carload of brick for the new build

was being unloaded yesterday. The
brick came from Mansfield. It appears
to us that Van Buren, should have a
brick yard to supply the local demand
beside shipping, for our shipping facili-
ties are certainly superior to those Of
Mansfield.

much to shoppers and they will not be
slow to take advantage Of it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not 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 inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachi-
an Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored TO its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cur
ed by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Richmond Citizens Object Ia
Baseball Being Played ON
the Sabbath.

Prompted by the death of young
Chiliis, who was killed at Rich
mond, Ky, sunday, June 3, in a
game of baseball. the Rev. Ii. G.
Turner, pastor of the Methodist
church, took his text Sunday night
on Sabbath desecration. and, in a
vigorous sermon, scored the Mayor
and City Council for permitting
ball playing on Sunday. Among
other things, he said: IL don't
believe the Lord struck the boy
dead for playing ball on Sunday,
but if he had not been at the park
playing ball he would not have
been killed. 1t is within the
power of your Mayor and City
Council to enforce the statutes and
put a stop to Sabbath breaking,
which is becoming alarmingly
prevalent al over this broad land,
and 70 which is traceable much of
the lawlessness and crime which
to-day brings sorrow and misery
into many homes"

The Number of Weddings of Ne
grOes and Whites Increasing
of Recent Years.

Mixed marriages-thOSe Of ne.
grOes and whites-haVe increased
in this city in the past five years
In 1895 there were 100 such mar.
riages, 1863 negroes having married
white women and $50 colored wo.
men having been married to white
men. Last year there were 1916,
in which 020 negro women were
married to white men and 926 ne
groes married white women.
One man whose position has en-
abled him to make continued and
thorough observations of condi-
tions in the lives of the other half
of New York population. has this
to say on the subject;
81 have met scores of these mix
ed couples and so far as the prin-
ciples are concerned do not believe
that they are, as a rule, either
more happy or more miserable than
their neighbors who have welded
like with like. They have as few
squabbles and as few divorces,
proportionately, as couples that are
wholly white or wholly black.
"The children, however, are not
SO fortunate. 1t is difficult for the
littletots to place themselves. They
are outcasts from both white and
colored focks. and when members
of the same family are ranged ON
different sides of the color line, a,
is frequently the case, their situa-
tion Is the more pitiable.
"My observation has further
taught me that colored man
makes better husband for white
woman than white man for col
ored woman. The reason of this
is not far to seek. The former
seems to feel that he has beer
honored Beyond measure by being
accepted by white woman, ano
he will willingly work his finger:
to the bone to support her and hei
children in good style.-New York

Dyspeptics cannot be long lived

Dyspeptics cannot be long lived

Henry L. Godsey Holds RESPONSE
BILE Position.

Henry l.. Godsey, once silver
tongued Centre College man, is in
charge of the stamp vault In the
Internal Revenue bureau and has a
very responsible position. He fre-
quently carries the keys to over a
hundred millions of dollars worth
Of revenue stamps. In small
box in his Office he keeps some
stamps which sell at one thousand
dollars each. They are documen-
tary stamps, and are about three
inches long by two wide. The
other day he got one order for
some eight or ten of these thou
sand dollar stamps. Uncle Sam
handles items of millions with
very little concern, but it requires
just as much red tape to collect
forty cents from him as it does to
collect forty millions. If you'd
see the papers, and signatures and
Initials and allidavits and red ink
surrounding a railroad freight
bill of $1.25 coming through mill
tary channels, you would in your
ignorance imagine that the thing

Fish Killed in Hinkston Creek

lbu hilitu III niukntOu OiOOh
Game Warden r. +. Clay has
been busy investigating the killing
of fish in upper Hinkston by the
McBrayer Distillery Company, To-
Gated in Montgomery county.
Mr.. Clay found that the McBrayeI
people had let their slop run into
a large pool on slight eminence
overlooking Hinkston. There 1t
was allowed to ferment until it be-
came stencil in the nOstrils of
people residing in that commu-
nifty, and the distillers were about
to be indicted forit. One night
the dam was cut and all of this
poisonous slop allowed to empty
into the creek. The result was
that fish were killed by the thous-
ands, not only in Montgomery,
but for a distance of sixteen miles
in Bourbon and Nicholas, Hink-
ston being the dividing line be-
tween those two counties. On the
farm of Mr.. Jesse Fishback there
are several water-gaps, and Mr..
Fishback states that the fish were
piled up so thick at these places
that a wagon-load could have been
secured. They were fine bass and
large cat fish, some of them weigh
ing ten pounds, and many of them
from three to seven pounds. The
fish were affected as far down as
McConaighay's Mill. But at this
place, very luckily, a rise came,
which relieved the situation tenn
porarily, but the farmers state
that this poisonous slop is at the
bottom Of the creek, and when the
water gets low it will continue to
ferment and work greater destruc-
tion They have nc doubt bat
what fish will be killed from the
point where the slop was run into
Hinkston down to its mouth.
The farmers on both sides of
Hinkston are indignant, not only
on account of the great destruction
to fish, turtles, etc., but the water
is rendered unfit for stock uses,
and in many instances the creek
afforded the only source or water
supply, as ponds have not been
constructed, it heretofore being
unnecessary. The distillery peo-
pie plead guilty to polluting the
waters, and were fined the insig-
nificant sum of $40 and costs.
However, the farmers do not pro-
pose to let it rest there, and this
morning they will hold a meeting
in the law office of Mr.. Harmon
Stitt, with a view of prosecuting
the offenders, not only in Mont
gomery, but in Nicholas and Bour-
bon, and see that the law is enforc-
ed to it's fullest extent.
The Gazette again calls atten-
tion to the splendid work that is
being done by the Game Warden,
and in all probability the office
that was established by the true
sportsmen of Bourbon County will
prove to be of such value to the
general public that the State will
recognize the services and estab-
lish the office by law. This un-
doubtedly ought to be done, not
merely for those who hunt and
fish, but for all people who think
anything of the health of resi-
dents along our streams, and the
farmers who are dependent upon
them for stock water.-Paris Ga
zette.
