There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an iniamed con-

unless the Inflammation can be taken

Prot. Z. II. Russell Honored

Prof +. H. Russell, superintendent
Of schools Of Bristol, was hOnored
by the Virginia State Board Of Ed
ucation in appointing him one Of the
five members Of the State Board OF
Examiners, with salary Of 81 800 and
expenses. We mention this one OF
the five appointees because Of Mr.
Russell's wide acquaintance in Farm
willie and vicinity.
This board is a new creation, the
duties of which will be to inspect and
examine all public schools throughout
the State, each member working fol
the improvement of the system in his
district.
Mr. Russell is a man Of high moral
character, brainy teacher, industri'
Gus and energetic, and his appoint

Our faithful nine" played a match
game with Pamplin on the morning
Of the BIRD, inst, and though their eff
forts were not crowned with decided
victory, they won the admiration OF
many friends who had assembled to
witness the game, and "once isn't al

bravery as theirs will surely meet with
such success as il deserves. They ex'

True Indenendence

Our freedom comes In realizing that
all the energy Of life should come pri-
marily from a love Of principles. and not
OF persons, except as persons relate 10
principles. II one man finds another liv-
ing on principles that are higher than
bis own, II means strength and free
dom for him to cling TO his friend until
he has learned to understand and live
on those principles himself Then. II
he finds his own power OF usefulness
and his own enjoyment Of life increased
by his friendship. It would indeed be
weak Of him 10 refuse such compan-
ionship from fear OF being dependent.
The surest and strongest basis Of free
dom IN friendship. very truly says
Annie Payson Call. in Leslie's Monthly.
is Q common devotion 10 the same
fundamental principles OF life; and this
insures reciprocal usefulness as well as
personal independence The only true
independence is IN obedience to law, and
II. TO gain the habit Of such obedience,
we need q helping hand. II Is truly inde-
pendent for us 10 take II. We all came
into the world alone. and we must 20
out Of the world alone, and yet We are
exQuisltely and beautifully dependent
upon one another.

Gov Montague Here.

Coming TO Famville, from Cumber-
land G.. H., where he addressed tire
mendous crowd on Tuesday, Govern
or Montague faced fine audience In
the Opera House that night. The
audience Tuesday evening was the
largest which has yet heard a politi-
cal address in Famville during the
campaign, and number Of prom
inent citizens lent encouragement by
their presence upon the stage. The
Governors speech was generally de
clared to have been the most mastery
and eloquent made in years TO ouI
people.
He was introduced by DR.. Anderson,
county chairman Of the Democratic
party, and for more than one hour he
had the profound attention Of his au-
dience.
Much Of the Governors speech was
given TO discussion Of the election
plan which obtains in this and other
States and its failure of success. He
declared that the influences which put
man in office controlled him while
in office. He believed that there
should be no power in government
greater than the government, and the
greatest danger which confronts the
people is the present-day lobbyist.
Senators are often elected without the
knowledge Of the people as TO who
were even candidates.
The Governor said that he had been
accused Of attacking the junior sena-
tor Expressing difference of opin-
ion, was not attacking. He was not
criticizing the senator's stand, but
just talking of where he stands.
He said that in the last fifty-eight
days Senator Martin had made more
speeches than before in all the fifty
eight or fifty-nine years Of his life, and
not one time in all these speeches had
he declared in favor Of the Democratic
primary plan Of election. Then he
must favor the legislature electng as
better method and more capable than
the people.
He had no newspapers at his back,
and no executive of this Common
wealth had ever been as harshly abused
and villified as he.
"You will be told, he said, "that
vetoed bill appropriating three hun
dred thousand dollars for distribution
among the COnfederates. There never
was such bill but one to set aside or
impound' that sum, which the legis-
lature had not the right todo.' 1t was
unconstitutional toshut up the money,
and / did vetoe the bill. a few
months later a bill providing for three
hundred thousand dollars to be dis
tributed in pensions was approved
and signed by me"
The Governor paid beautiful tri-
butte to Mckinney, Hunton, Fitz Lee,
and Conrad, and closed his address
mid tremendous applause.

Value Of Our Crops.

The cotton crop OF a single year e
valued at s6OO.OOO,cOO. This would BE-
nearly $40 for every family In the United
States. The corn crop IS even greater
The value OF corn raised in a single
year would pay the national debt. With
Interest for one year, and leave enough
to help out on governmental expenses
The American hen lays enough eggs iE
one month to pay the interest on the
national debt. The one and two-thirds
billion Of eggs laid in one year would
reach 10000 miles. or ten times across
the continent. II placed side by side In
g continuous line. The automobile Is
all very well, but horses and mules are
still worth a trife Of billion and a
third Of dollars. That is an average OF
S65 worth OF horsehesh for every fam
lily in the land. The total products OF
the farm In 1904 were 5000. 600, 600.
That is nearly equal to the total cap
ital stock OF all American railroads
before the boom" Of 1900. This sum.
states the New York World, is more
than six times the capital stock Of all
the national banks. Il is three times
the gross earnings OF all the railroads.
II is nearly as great as the value OF
manufactures in 1900, less cost OF raw
material In two years the farmers
have produced wealth exceeding abe
output OF all the gold mines OF the
world since Columbus discovered Amer
lea. In six years the deposits In all
the banks OF three farming states have
increased as follows: Iowa, i64 pei
cent; Kansas, al9 per cent; Mississippi,
301 per cent Even rice. which few fam
lies make much use Of. is grown TO
the extent OF 100000 pounds Maca-
ronl wheat is a novelty in the country,
yet the years crop Of it would Ill
bin 100 feet high and completely COW
ering a city long block" The Increase
alone Of farming capital In four years,
aside from the appreciation in the
value Of the land, would build 80 sub
ways Ike that Of New York city.

"He is an Old Reb."

Editor Herald.-I was travelling
recently through one Of the noun
tain counties Of Virginia when l had
occasion to hire a horse from a young
farmer who lived in a retired country
neighbOrhOod. On my return to the
house / was invited in and sat for a
time in the front porch talking with
an elderly man who | soon found to
be the father Of the young man from
whom had hired the horse. And |
also learned that he followed the for
tunes Of the Confederacy for four years
as soldier in the army Of Northern
Virginia, that he had suffered on the
march and had been wounded in bat
tie. A common experience drew US
close together and the hour in the
porch was a pleasant one. While we
were talking the son came in sight
and | went out TO meet him to settle
for the horse. The old man caught
on to what was going on, and hollered
out from the porch: "Ben, don't
charge that man for the use Of the
horse. He is an old Reb." IA fel-
low feeling makes us wondrous kind"
The old "Rebsn should be and
trust are knit together by "hooks OF
