There were a lot of speeches made.

'Yes, sir" answered the reporter.
"Was Colonel Gorey's speech the only
good one?"
"Oh, no, not at all"
Then why have you reported lis
talk in full and given only a brief
synopsis of the others?"
"For the reason that when it came
his turn to speak the banqueters were
too far gone to be able to understand
it, and / thought they ought to have a
chance TO see what it was"

statistics usually are, estimates that
the money given yearly in tips In
France amounts to nearly 5000, ,000

TO COMPEL sTockMEN
TO OBEY The ORDER,

State Veterinarian w. F. Pfaeging
left this morning for the Underwood
ranch, where several horses are i'll,
and later will go to Lusk, where steps
will be taken to compel a number Of
stockmen in the Rawhide Buttes coun-
try to obey the proclamation providing
for the dipping of all cattle in Laramie.
Converse and Albany counties, under
federal quarantine, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. A number of the stockmen
have absolutely refused to dip and in
these cases the herds of the stockmen
will be placed in rigid quarantine and
held there until the cattle are dipped.
1.-THE owners attempt to move the stock
they will then be prosecuted for violat-
ing the quarantine laws. State Vet
erinarian Plaeging says the only
method of lifting the federal quaran-
tine in these counties is by the dip
ping Of every hoof of cattle and that
the dipping order must be carried out.

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 is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous linlng
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube Is inlamed 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 restor-
ed to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any Ease Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, frea.

ginion Is the oldest paper published
In Marion county; was established in
1865, and has big list Of as loyal sup
porters as any paper published in

uses these two issIes not only gets
the benefit OF the best local medium,
but reaches class Of people out oil

Macon, May 21.-The Macon
and Brunswick Navigation Compa-

capital stock of $25, 600. Plans
were made for the immediate con
struction of two steamers to be
used in river traffic between Ma
con and Brunswick. Bids will be
asked for next week. PRESIDENT
Emmett Small of the Macon
Chamber of Commerce is head of
the organization. A. E., Chappell
is vice president and A w. Smith
is secretary and treasurer. A
large number of Macon busin ess
men are among the subscribers to
the enterprise.
The business enthusiasm with
regard to the beginning of river
traffic from this point to Bruins
wick runs high, and many people
here as well as at other points
along the river, have funds in the
enterprise. AS soon as the Two
boats can be constructed they will
be placed on the Ocmulgee.
