Local Financial Situation.

The financial stringency through
out the country-which fortunately
is now expanding itself-has not
been seriously felt by the Henderson
banks. They have continued to do
business as usual without recourse to
issuing scrip as has been done else
where. Not only have our banks
paid out money on their own checks
but they have cashed those of other
banks in the ordinary course of bust
ness as heretofore.
Both the Citizens Bank and hn
First National Bank have had enough
money to meet local demands-double
what the law requires, in fact. They
are not dealing in any Northern Sc
curities that have shruuk in value
and have experienced no loss on this
account. All securities held by them
are as good as gold.
Under such conditions-with the
banks perfectly solvent and safe
people ought not to hoard their
money but deposit it SO it may get
into the channels of trade and con-
tribute toward the betterment of
trade and industry. And people who
have deposits in the savings depart
ments should not draw out their
money but hold on for the regular
interest periods.
Another thing we would advise is
that people stop talking hard times.
Much harm is done in this way. The
situation is made worse in times like
these by talking hard times. Scared
money causes scarce money.
We believe the worst is over. That
is tile Judgment OF the ablest finan-
ciers and leading bankers of the
country, and if we have tided over
the worst and the furry is subsiding
there is no cause for further alarm.
Conditions locally are excellent and
as the crops are moved the condi-
tons improve. Let US then forget
the troubles that are past, put our
shoulders to the wheel and go for
ward.

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 tn at is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by infamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a 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, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

Varied Matrimonial Experiences.

We have in our city clever old time
'scullud gemman" who has been married
five and half times, (as he puts it.) In
the year 1865 "Uncle Henry" Gregory
was married to Nancy Moss. Id 1879
he was married to Sue Bullock. In 1889
he was married to Phoebe Young In
1898 he was married to Emma Sc uther-
land. In 1907 he was married to AIDE
line Hunt.
Wife number 4 emma Sontherland)
went off with Holy" preacher. The
half marriage was in this wise: Mar
guerite Thomas promised to marry
"Uncle Henry and he, believing that
she would be true to her promise, bought
the marriage license and bought fine
dresses to the amount of $1,000 for the
bride-to-be. "Uncle Henry" employed a
minister and gave him the license and
explained to him how he had provided
Miss Marguerite" with her bridal
"trouso.' The day arrived for Uncle
Henry to claim his bride, when 10! and
behold! be was informed that the preach
er had captured his intended bride,
license, dresses and all.
This sufficed for the old man and he
did not venture upon the matrimonial
sea again for a good long time, but this
year, at the age of 67 Uncle Henry
married his fifth and one-half wife, going
over into Person county after her.
