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 inf1amed condition of the mu-

this tube is inf1amed you have a rumbilng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it IS
entirely closed deafness is the result and

GRANDFATHER DROPS DEAD.
William ByingtOn Dies From Heart
Failure in Washington,

William Byington, aged 64years,
dropped dead of heart disease yes
terday morning at his ranch on
White Bluff prairie seven miles
south west Of the city, says the
Spokane Review. He got up at $50
clock in the morning apparently
in good health. About two hours
later, while talking to his grandson,
G. r. Shellum, he dropped dead at
the boy feet.
"A widow and two married
daughters survive the deceased.
The daughters are Mrs. IGfa Tickner
of Hillyard and Mrs. Matte Shellun
of White Bluff prairie. The de
ceased was a resident of Spokane
for a great many years, and leaves
many friends in this city"
Mr.. and Mrs. Byington came to
Redwood Falls thirty-six years ago
aud took up a claim six miles east
of this city, where they lived for
eighteen years. They sold out and
moved to Spokane, Wash, and went
into the real estate business, where
they lived till his death. They
were here on visit to his brothers,

neighbors and friends last fall

recent battles. and was badly cut
up. In his company alone sixteen
were wounded.
The levee last evening presented
an animated scene. The Cutter and
AID Hine both went out crowded
with passengers. Large numbers
of soldiers on Through were happy
and animated as they started down
the river to greet home friends once
more. Many expectant dear ones who
wistfnlly waited for father, brother
or son will soon have their fond
hopes realized.
On last Saturday, at Fort Smell
ling, five companies of the Sixth
regiment, who had received orders
to march that morning, stacked their
arms and refused to leave until
they were paid the five months pay
due them. The Seventh regiment
had been paid off, but the payrolls
had not been made out for the Sixth,
which was the fault of the officers.
The bngle sounded several times
for the men to strike tents and fall
in. At one time it was intended to
call out the Seventh regiment, but
fortunately milder eounsels pre-
vailed, and the men were finally
induced to obey their superior
officers, and serious trouble was
avoided.
Gen. Sanborn has been ordered,
since his promotion, to assume com

be very great show in the

beauty for those who use their eyes.
These old everlasting Hills are gor-
geous to behold in their robes of rus
set, golden, brown and reds, of all
shades.

realize. the uncertainty of life by the
death Of young G.. D. Fillman-so
young, just twenty three, and gone!
'Tis a solemn warning to "be We also
ready, for in such an hour as We think
not the Son of man cometh." He was
buried by the Odd Fellows, of which
organization he was a member, in the
family burying ground at Clark's Hill

Another much lamented death of an
Edgefeld boy, was that of Mr.. Drew
Nixon BusseS, eldest son of Mr.. Pat
Bussey, who died ON Friday in Charl-
eston, and was buried at Red Oak
Grove. His mother was a Miss Nixon
of the Clark's Hill Nixon family, and
has large concourse of friends. as
well as relatives, who sorrow with her
in this loss.
Clark's Hill is much divided on the
new County questions, and It's aques-
tion, which shall it be.-Calhoun CO.
unity or North Augusta. The latter
point seems to be more desirable, but
the thought of the taxation necessary
to build suitable court house, etc.,
roads, and bridges makes quite puz-
zling subject for debate. However,
sentiment is much divided!
