Is believed that much better showing
can be made IL an effort is made to get

A report Of the financial condition OF
the society was especially fiattering and
showed the society TO be fiourishing.
In making a report of the work of
the last year and of the work done at
Chickamauga Park In the last two
years, General BOynton. the recording
secretary of the society. referred to the
Army of the Cumberland as great and
cordial family. and he declared that so

Mutual Praise.

General Grosvenor responded with the
statement that the genius and hard
work OF preparing the legislation was
done by General Boynton. and that lac
had contributed only "the brute force"
to steer the legislation through Con-
gress.
Three cheers were then given for Gen
eral Boynton. Thanks of the society

The Times does not know what
Is the demand or necessity for
draining the L'Anguille bottoms.
If the landowners and citizens Of
that district, or a majority of them,
desire to tax themselves for this
purpose, they certainly have q
right to do so, and we have no
notion of advising them IS to their
business. But we do want 10 state
tha, 8 LAnguille Drainage Dis
trict, Board OF Directors, and
their operations will be expensive.
The land will be taxed ST once .
per cent. on the betterment-that
means . cents per acre. The his
tory of such organizations is that 2
per cent will not furnish them
sufficient funds. Later law will
probably be enacted increasing
the tax to 1 per cent. and then
bonds will be issued, aud there is
no end to the everlasting octopus
and burden. Therefore the citi.
zens of the effected district should
ponder well these things, and
act accordingly, taking care not
to foist upon themselves burden |

SODA WATER,

The Forrest City Bottling Works of
Forrest City, Ark, enjoys unique
distinction.
Tie popularity of soda water and the
score OF more kindred carbonate drinks
as beverage in the United States IS
increasing yearly. and has reached such
proportions that the public does well to
ask the question as 10 its wholesome.
ness.
This has loBS since been decided. No
more heaithful or refreshing drink can
be conceived. One important factor,
however. presents itself TO the thought
fal. and that is the question of the wa
ter used IN the manufacture of sodas.
|. is quite clear that unless the water
used Is wholesome, the drink manuiac-
tured therefr0m cannot be so.
In tlis respect the Forrest City Bot
ting Works have decided advantage
over the thousands of manufacturers
throughout the country, inasmuch as
they use the water from the wells of
Forrest City, bring from depth of $50
feet the water, which is beyond ques.
ton the purest and most wholesome Of
waters.

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 iBiamed condition Of the

When this tube GEES infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when 1t 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 eases out OF ten
