WHENEVER a man is disposed
to kick at every enterprise not
originated by himself, that man is
of small benefit to his town or
community. And the enterprises
he puts forward are few and far
between, and if you study his
scheme closely, it will always de-
velop that his own interests are
the only ones he wants Subserved.
Take the broad minded, liberal citi-
zen, who is willing to push forward
any scheme for the up-building
of his town, and he will not let
personal interests stand wholly in
the way of its success.

PASSING OF OLD OFFICE.
Land Office at Huntsville, Alabama, Is
No More.


HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Feb. 2S.-The
oldest land office in the United States
passed out of existence today when
the Huntsville office was abolished ana
it's business transferred to the land Of
flee at Montgomery. The office here
was established in 1910, nine years be-
fore the admission of Alabama into the
Union. During the ninety-four years
of it's existence there were nearly 3d.
900 homestead entries, approximating
100000 acres, besides many thousand
cash purchases of Cherokee Indian
school lands. There are only about
$4,000 acres yet to be entered. The
discOntinuance of the office is due to
that provision of the federal statutes
which stipulates that when the gov
eminent lands in a land Office district
amount to less than 100000 acres, the
office shall be discontinued. There now
remain in the entire state of Alabama
only about $4,000 acres of government
lands, 100000 acres of which are in the
Montgomery division.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that's by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
