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 constitution

an iplsmed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachisn Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken

The Body at Rest Under Blanket

The State, Jan. -.
Atlanta, Jan. Il South Carolina's
tribute to John B. Gordon was the
feature of the memorial exercises IN
Georgia's capital today. Not since
the body of Jeffsrson Davis passed
through the southern cities on the
way to it's last resting place in Rich
mond has Atlanta seen such
demonstration of love and reverence
for the dead as was the funeral OF
Gordon. Governors, Confederate
leaders, southern orators and south
ern preachers spoke of the life and
the death of Georgis's best loved son
and their words were heard by a vast
multitude of sorrowing admirers
while other thousands were unable
to get into the halls of State house or
church. It is said that 80, 900 people
today thronged Capitol Hill. The
hall of the house was unable to accom-
nodats oue-ffseenth of this throng
while thu church across the street
was as readily filled.
The hero's body lay in state under
q guard of honor in the rotuna OF the
capitol while the memorial services
were being conducted mp stairs.
Gov. Terrell presided and made a
most fitting speech. He was follow

OUR COUSINS ENJOY
A TROLLEY RIDE

classical numbers, rag time, and
the old time melodies that we
love so well. The scenery along
the new road is exceptionally
pretty, and was greatly admired
by everybody. When the car
which carried the band entered
the city of Sistefsville the band
struck up one of their popular
airs which attracted the admira-
tion of the people of that city.
When the car arrived at the end
of the route the band alighted
and played several selections
which were listened to by a large
crowd of people.
One noticeable feature Of the
trip was the pleasant manner in
which the Sistersville people re-
ceived the New Martinsville dele
cation, and the visitors spent
very pleasant evening. Every
body seemed to be in a good hui
NOR, and it is safe to say that the
linking Of the two towns by troll
ley promises to bring it's residents
into closer relationship and good
fellowship.
During Saturday evening and
all day Sunday the trolley did a
rushing business. Each car that
left this city was loaded with
New Martinsville people bound
for Sistersville, and each car that
arrived brought large numbers of
persons from that town to this
city.
The management state that
they will endeavor to arrange a
schedule that will be suitable for
both towns. 1t is said that a car
will leave New Martinsville every
hour right on the hour. The last
car that arrived in this city last
evening was about 1910 and the
last that left was about 1920. 1t
is hoped that it will be arranged
so that a car will leave about IL
p. m. and Sistersville about the
same time.
The line is doing a good busi-
ness today, and to all appearances
the business will continue.-New
Martinsville Dispatch.

"All aboard for Sistersville! ~
IT'S peculiar, we know, but yet it
is true, to hear this cry at the
end of the Brooklyn bridge. Mr..
E. L. Robinson, special receiver,
has been very anxious for the
past week or so to have the road
completed to this city, but one
trouble and another has delayed
the progress Of this work, and it
was simply impossible to have had
it completed before Saturday ev-
ening. For the past week the
force of men on construction had
been working like Turks, and
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
Saturday it was announced that
the first car for Sistersville would
leave New Martinsville about 6
O'Clock in the evening. 1t almost
seemed improbable, but neverthe-
less the announcement was true,
and many persons made ready to
take the initial trip if possible.
Mr.. Robinson, who is usually
thoughtful on all occasions, eX-
tended an invitation to the boys
of the l. D. Morgan band to
make ready and 60 along and give
some of their excellent music to
help enliven the occasion. Owing
to the short notice it was impos-
sible for the members Of the band
to get together in time to take
the first car, but they were ready
for the second. In few moments
the car, which, as the Chinaman
says, "No pushee, no pullee, but
60 like hellee," went gliding
down the main thoroughfare OF
Brooklyn, and as we passed along
you could see the pride of the
people of the South Side over
the fact that at last the electric
car had come and was passing
up and down through the town.
1t was a happy crowd that was
being carried along down the
road and the sweet music Of the
band added greatly to the pleas
ures of the trip. The musical
program was a varied one, con-
sisting of the latest and most
