School Consolidation.
Lexington Dispatch.


The consolidation OF smaller school
districts into larger and better ones
has gone on to Il wonderful extent
in many parts of the State. The
good that follows such consolidation
is well understood by those who
have gone into it. We cannot stand
still, and we can t afford to let other
communities outstrip US in matters
OF such Importance. If there are
drones and fossils in the way they
must be ignored. The man who OPP
poses the consolidation and the gen
eral betterment OF the public schools
is Il back number and it sa pity such
men can not and will not see. They
are a veritable hindrance to the ad-
vancement Of the community and
stumbling blocks to the great cause
OF better education.

food, regulate the action of the liver, stimu-
late the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when feel

Somehow we cannot get away from
the idea that both verdicts in his case

or he was not guilty and ought to

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications IS they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflammed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling 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
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiammed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be sured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
free.
