Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachin
Tube. When this tube gets indamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation 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.

In sad but loving remembrance of ouI
beloved son, Bernard Crawford, who de
parted this life one year ago to day, June
3rd, 1909:
1t has been n long and weary year,
Since we laid our darling to rest.
1 loved him, oh, so dearly,
But God loved him best.
God took him home with him to live,
In a bright and glorious home;
He left me here with a broken heart,
In this lonely world to mourn.
All! since then u lives arc saddened;
Since that day our hopes are slain;
But his voice seems sweetly saying,
Couragc-we shall meet again.

In MemOriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of oul
dear brother, who departed this life one
year ago to-day, June 3rd, 1902:
One long year has passed away.
One long year since that fatal day,
The brother l loved and priced,
Lay cold in death before my eyes.
Now you are dead, dear brother,
And mid sweet flowers laid,
Out in the quiet cemetery,
Out in the quiet shade.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
And in Heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

The farmers of the far west are
burning corn for fuel, those of the
middle west are shoveling beans
into their stoves and furnaces, in
New York they are. burning any.
thing,they can find, and even then
they are freezing to death. Down
this way. there is no trouble on ac.
count of fuel-when the coal trust
gets too greedy We will just ignore
them and burn wood, of which
there is the greatest abundance.-
Clarion.
And yet the people who are 60
ing through with all this suffering
refuse to see the source from
which it all emanates. The re-
publican party is the moth-r OF
all the trusts and combines of the
country. If it's hold Oh the govern
ment should be torn loose aud the
democratic party put in power
these instruments OF oppression
would soon crumble and fall to
pieces. With them destroyed there
would be no strikes or coal famines
and the people could keep warm.

Hogs.

Now is the time for lookin.
after the hogs to make meat 70,
another year. There is a great
scarcity of hogs in the country at
this time, but there is plenty of
time DetweAn now and next winter
to raise Il full supply tor til.
wants of the country. The hog is
one OF the most prolific Of animals
and one Of the most rapidly
maturing. Pigs that are farrow-
ed in March can be male to weigh
over two hundred pounds in
November. There is corn enough
in the..country to keep a full sup
ply Of hogs and it is fine economy
to feed 1T in this way. We. trust
our Farmer friends may profit by
their experience of the past two
years.

Hon. j. G.. Kincannon was in
town this week looking after his
political fences. He is without
doubt the best railroad Commits
sioner the state ever had. Having
served four years he is better
equipped now! to be Of service to
the people than ever before. The
Times likes Mr.. kincannon's
style. He is open, frank and fear
less. 1t was Mr.. Kincannon that
unearthed the penetentiary steal
and fought Parchman and his
gang single handed. 1t was he
that caused Parchman to, resign.
1t was Mr.. Kincannon that got the
rates on corn and -four reduced
last year, saving the farmers of
Lee, Monroe, Clay, Lowndes ard
OktlbDeha counties $50 a car on
corn and -four. During the short
time these rates were in effect it is
safe to say that the, farmers Of
Clay county were saved one hun
dred thousand dollars freight
alone Mr.. Kincannon mas work
ed strictly for the peoples inter-
ests. Other good men may oppose
him for railroad Commissioner,
but it strikes us, that being &C.
quainted with the office as he is
and having stood SO squarily to the
people in the past that it would
be unwise for the people to make
a change. He should be. reward
ed for his fidelity.-West Point

Is This So?

In the jackson Correspondents
items in the Commercial Appeal Of
the 26 inst it is stated that not
more than fifty per CENT Of the
eligible voters ofthe state arelpay-
ing taxes aud will be- therefore
disqualified from voting id the
next election. We doubt the &C.
curacy Of this and think the re.
turns from the various counties
will prove that it is incorrect. II
it be true it will prove that a
lamentable indifference as to the
states welfare prevails amongst
the white voters Of the state. Ii
is not surprising that the negroes
do not care enough for the privi-
lege of voting, as to induce them
to pay the required poll-tax, but
we dislike to think that any con.
siderable number Of white mer
will neglect to do so. The fran
chise should be looked upon as an
uupurchasable privilege by every
body and every man entitled to il
should prize it highly enough to
pay his just taxes in order to exer.
else it.

The second trial of Phil A. Rush
for ~embezzling the funds Of the
Kinds county circuit court, result
ed in a verdict of not guilty by
the jury. The acquittal of Rush
will doubtless put a stop to the
prosecution. Railford was per-

in this way escape, and the former

turn Armstead over to the Missis-
