Means You

/ fiud it necessary to say
few words to those whom it
may concern.
There are many small unset
tied accounts on my Ledger
1 am sorry to say-that should
have been paid long ago. AT
ter closing out my business
now over two years ago-I APP
pealed earnestly, through the
home papers for all owing me
to call and settle. Besides: |
sent statements to many, who
have not been heard from. Is
this not shamful treatment to
one who has been accommoda-
ting to you in many years past?
/ need what you owe me and |
am not able to sit idly around,
waiting for you to come. 1t will
wear me out-unless you can
beat your Past Time Record,

those who have favored me. by

Now ] make this one more APP
peal, and kindly ask you not
TO delay this matter for it will
be easier to pay now, and less
expensive, than if delayed
longer.

The Folk people are using
more money t. carry the state

In some counties they have
paid as high as SIS per head for

it gave out in the early part of

When you speak of 1.-THE

this in mind: There was only
forty-eight-48-of them, or
about one out of twenty-2O.

or Prohibitionists.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There ia only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies, Deafness is caused by an
infemed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal con 1ition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh

INDIAN TERRITORY STATEHOOD,

Philadelphia, Dec. a. President
Roosevelt has been requested by the
National Women's Christian Temper
ance union, in convention here, to see
that congress observes the existing
treaties with the Indians prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating liquors before
granting statehood rights to Indian
Territory.
The resolution was presented by
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis of Washing
ton, chairman of the legislative com
mittee, and the following telegram
was forwarded to the president:
'The National Woman's Christian
Temperance union, in convention as
sembled at Philadelphia, representing
half million women of the United
States, most respectfully urge that
your great influence be given to carry,
ing out treaties of our government
with the Indians concerning the sale

Rural Mail Trolley.

The Cream correspondent of thu
GAINESVILLE Argns says that he has
just put up his trolley mail box
carrier and it works dandy. It is a
continuance consisting of three wires
elevated on top of eighteen foot poles
running diagonally across a forty
acre plowed field. The upper wire
is stationary while the two lower
wires is an endless chain to which
the box is attached. 1t is turned by
a crank at the house highly gearAd
and sends the mail bax down to the
road with lightning rapidly.
1t is claimed to be capable of go
ing one fourth mile in one and a
half minutes but like the automobile
it is safer to run il little slower.
1t is easily operated, II child can
operate it, that is if the child is old
enough aud strong enough but where
there are no children in the family it
is just nice little job for the "good
wife" while the kettle is boiling. An
invitation is given to anyone living
eighty or one hundred rods from the
r. F. D. route to call and examine
the thing.

pecuniary reasons. President Francis

1t is estimated that the attendance
on the last day was in the neighbor-
hood OF a record breaker. The official
announcement last Sunday night

have been recorded since the exposi-
ton opened ON April 80. The banner

STRUGGLE BECOMING ACUTE.
Fall River Strike in Effect More Than
Four Months.

Fall River Strike in Effect More Than
Four Months.
Fall River, Mass, Dec. 2.-After
more than four months the struggle
between the local cotton manufac-
turers and the union operatives who
are on a strike appears to be becoming
acute The situation is due mainly to
the determined efforts of the manufac-
turers to shatter the union forces.
This is the third week since the mill
gates were reopened, after being
closed for sixteen weeks, in connection
with the effort to break the strike.
Conflicting claims are made by both
sides as to the result of the move, but
it is apparent that several thousand
nonunion hands have gone to work.
The union members as body, how
ever, are still holding out. The manu-
facturers figure that the strike will
gradually wear away as winter adj
vances.
The unions are receiving assistance
from other mill towns, where it is
feared that a failure of the Fall River
strike would mean general reduction
of wages in the cotton mills of the
North

FATHER VAUGHAN.
First Number of the Lecture Course

Father Vaughan, the great dfa-
matte orator, will deliver his "Ser-
mons, from Shakespeare" as the
opening number of the Epworth
League lecture course at the Metho-
dist church next Friday evening,
Dec. 9Th.
As dramatic orator, Father Vau-
CHAN has no superior. His magnetic
personality is the very essence OF
eloquence. He presents great truths
as wildly as flashes of lightning.
He has the rare power of making
popular the classical lecture, His
Interpretation of Shakespearean
characters is equal to that of the
greatest actors of the day. His past
experience before the footlights has
given him perfect control of his
powerful voice, and this, with his
fine presence and dramatic delivery,
combine to thrill his listeners with
the great truths he has to present.
He speaks with authority. He has
message. There is neither dull
sentence nor moment that is
not charged with magnetic power
Father Vaughan is great. He is
success.

The home demand for wheat IN
the United States seems to be about
up to the supply, and prices here
have been mach higher than in
Canada. There is protective tariff
on wheat, and the following news
item from North Dakota shows that
wheat is being smugglsd across the
line:
The differencs in the prices offered
for wheat in Manitoba and the United
States has led many residents OF
both countries to take desperate
chances, the federal authorities assert,
in order to get the largest prices
which are offered by the elevator
companies on this side of the i'm
aginary fence which separates the
states from Canada.
At the present time twelve men
are under bonds on charge OF
smuggling, and their cases will be
considered by the grand jury at the
term of the United States district
court to be convened here in week.

charged with bringing loads of wheat
to an elevator at Bottineau. The
men gave bond of ST. 900 each and
were allowed to depart.
In all cases so far the government
has seized not only the wheat that is
brought~to this country, but also the
wagon and horses used in transport
ing the grain. Usually the arrests
are made before the wheat is all un-
loaded, and in such cases the elevator
man is required to shovel the grain
back in the wagon, when the govern
ment officials take the whole outfit
If the wagons have been emptied be-
fore the arrest is made, they are
driven back to the elevator and an
equal amount of wheat is loaded into
the wagon as was unloaded, and the
man charged with smuggling is
allowed to go upon furnishing a
suitable bond, but his entire outfit,
including his wheat, is left in charge
of the government authorities to be
sold in case of his conviction
