Ihe Chrlstmas Dinner.

In spite OF the fact that the word dys-
pepsia means literally bad cook, il will not
be fair for macy to lay the blame on the
cook II they begin the Christmas dinner
with little appetite and end it with dis
ess or nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hone so for the sake Of
the cook The di CaJ dyspepsia indicates
a bad stomach, Il at is, weak stomach,
rather than a bad cook, and for a weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the stomach
vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates
appetite and makes eating the pleasure 1t
should be.

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 intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, n /
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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an Unnamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Captain smith had naIr of handcuffs especially for the pur- pose and Brtdamour had numbers of cuffs himself. besides 6 batch of cuffs that were secured In Montgomery. All were tried and Brindanour escaped from all.
 But Rrindamour's most mystifying trick was his escape from an iron cell carried by him The cage weighs about 1000 pounds ana is fitted with strong lock. Captain smith examined 1t and pronounced it safe. Brindamour was shackled hand and foot inside the cage and the door was securely locked, mantle was thrown ovcr the cage and. in three minutes Brindamour was on the outside.
 Brindamour invites anyone to bring cuffs to the Casino and he guarantees te free himself from them He alsc talks Of giv- ing an exhibition at Police Headauarters or the county jail at which he will got out of a cell

 The Progress is candid in its opinion whether MT. Conner has in him the of Alabama. In his canvass two years ago he promised the people of the State of Alabama wonders in the way Of railroad rates. To come right down to the issue, did the people get any thing? There is no other question; if they got anything from his work they should vote for him and stand by him like a man. If they did not, on the other hand. they should drop him. as he was elected on these promises, and why do the people want to fool with him further? pr.

A TRIBuTE To ALAnAMA.
Mir. DeLeon Heminda the Monteagie AssembIy of the War Work.

MT. DeLe0n Reminds the MonteagIe
 Assembly, of the War Work.
 MonteagIe, Tenn, Aug. 13.--(Spe- cial. )--In his lecture in the auditorium here on Fun and Pathos in Dixie" T. C. DeLeon, the blind Alabama novelist and journalist, paid high need to the Confederates from his fate. He said that her men and women had done their duty equally and untiring- ly, hard or unaccustomed as 1t may Rodes. Pelham. Oracle. Gladden. and others as examples. and told how the wives and daughters of the humblest private and of general and cabinet ministers alike, had toiled in the hos pitaI. the kitchen and with the needle. He fnstanced Mrs Hopkins, Mrs. Ann T. Hunter. Mrs. Phoebe Pember, Miss Emma Sansom and their sisterhood or love and mercy, as names undying in Confederate camps, and worthy of tab- let's of imperishable bronze.
 Most of the lecture was rollicking and laugh producing. the pathos. being used for a shadowy Background. and wits, male and female, making the staple of the talk.
 Mir DeLaon began by Eayins that Laughter and tears were the sleeping twins of the human soul. but that the call boys of Fun and Fathos who walk ened them to daily activity, did not necessarily lie side by side in its lower chambers. He gave a lightning snap shot of Richmond society in the sos and proved that
 "The bravest are the tenderest:
 The loving are the daring"
 The same lecture will be repeated at Sewanee, for a worthy object during the present month.

A Sumner to COmerites.

Tusftegee News.
 The constant boasting of the Conner men that there were no votes in this County for Cunningham had made some timonous folks believe that may bs that claim was true. But yester- day the enthusiastic and intelligent crowds which greeted the Lieutenant Governor at Notasulga and then later at Tuskegee was a sumner to the aforesaid boosters. In fact the most hopeful Cunningham men were agree ably surprised to find that there were so many earnest. thoughtful and intel ligent voters who had already made up their minds to support pr. Gun ningham. Then we are sure that the simple, conservative manner in which that gentleman presented hls. claims and the conclusive way in which he met all of the opposition and charges against him must have determined others to give him loyal support.
