Peanuts and Prosperity.

Within the past year the peanut
Industry has come into the lime
light and the plain goober patch"
has taken on the dignity of
peanut plantation" It requires
a long time to rouse the people on
some things and this modest article
of commerce which has heretofore
served its purpose, in the main, by
supplying stock feed on farms
save one or two states that have
supplied the market for parching
purpose-now develops into a
money crop of large proportions
with little danger of OVERRIDING the
thing.
The New York Sun makes this
observation on the crop:
The peanut acreage in this
country increased $50 per cent and
production 233 per cent between
1890 and 1900. There are under
cultivation now $4,000 acres,
producing 11,9O5,OOO bushels.
The crop is concentrated in a few
Southern states, Virginia supply
ing one-third of it, North Carolina
another third"
The peanut imports for this year
are valued at $500, 900 and the ex-
ports at $500, 900, or an excess of
imports of 100000. Why import
any when Texas alone could easily
raise enough to supply the world?
Van Zandt has thousands of
acres of soil admirably adapted to
peanut culture and the Chronicle
will eudeavor to collect all the in
formation possible concerning the
industry as an encouragement and
aid to our farmers in taking hold
Of the work of raising peanuts on
an extensive scale. We would be
pleased to see 5000 acres planted
TO peanuts in this county next
year.-Wills Point Chronicle.

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 infamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam.
ed you have rurnbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

THE OLDEST CITY.
Damascus, Seen by Saul of Tarsus, Is
Still In Existence.

If you were suddenly asked to
name the oldest city. IN the weird

ton, what would be your answer
In nine cases out of ten the per
son to whom such 4 query might be
propounded would bark back to
Egypt, Greece or Rome. He would.
be wrong The oldest city In the
world Is Damascus.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on
the shore, Baalbec is a ruin, PalIny-
IA is buried in a desert, and Nineyeh
and Babylon have disappeared from
the Tigris and the Euphrates. Da-
mascus remains what it was before
the days Of Abraham center Of
trade and trayel-an isle of verdure
in the desert, "a presidential CAPT
tai, with martial and sacred asso-
Citations extending through thirty
centuries.
1t was near Damascus that Saul
of Tarsus saw the light above the
brightness Of the sun. The street
which is called Strait, in which it
was said che prayed" still runs
through the city.
The city which Mohammed sur.
veyed from a neighboring height
and was afraid to enter because it
was given to man to have but one
paradise, and for his part he was
resolved not to have it in this

the eye of the East" as it was in
the time Of Isaiah ''the head of Sy-
ria.
From Damascus came the dam
son, our blue plums, and the deli
cious apricot Of Portugal called da-
masco; damask, our beautiful fabric
of cotton and silk, with vines and
flowers raised upon a smooth, bright

BEST OF PROOF.
That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms of Ca
tarrhal Diseases

ldIludl diseases.
Testimonials could be printed by the
thousands, many of them from Belfast and
nearby towns, that Hyomei is an absolute
cure for all catarrhal troubles, but the best
proof of its unusual curative powers is the
guarantee that R. = Moody gives with every
outfit that he sells, "Money back if by
omei does not do all that is claimed for it,"
Hyomei is not secret remedy: Its for
want to know what they use when they pre-
scribe Hyomei: It is guaranteed under the
Pure Food and Drug Law by serial No.
1913
BY breathing Hyomei, the healing medi-
cation goes directly to every nook and cor
ner of the air passages where the catarrhal
germs may lurk, and disinfects and heals.
To be convinced of this you have only to
give it trial, remembering that if it does
not cure. R. H. Moody will refund your
money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.OO, and in most cases is sufficient to cure
the disease, making it not only scientific
treatment but one that is highly economic

A NEW MAINE BOOK.

A recent and much priced addition
to the writer's modest collection of
Maine books is "Feathered Game of
the Northeast, by Walter H. Rich of
Portland. We knew the author to be
possessed of artistic talent, that he is
an all-round sportsman and good fell
low, but find that in addition he is a
naturalist and has literary talent of a
high order. He has produced a book
of 450 pages in which the general read
er, the ornithologist and the sports
man will find much that is intere ting
and instructive. Some ninety birds
are carefully described and located,
nearly all of them being illustrated in
excellent full-page half tones, while the
colored frontispiece shows a pair of
Wood Duck. The spirit of the book is
indicated by the following quotation
from the Preface: Treating the sub
ject from the standpoint of fair sports
manship, the writer has endeavored to
dlscountenance the reckless and need
less slaughter by those whose ambition
1t is to make record killing, and he
asks of the thoughtful sportsman who
beats the covert in search of health,
and sport, and Of the working natural.
lst, that they meet on this common
ground and work Loyalty together in an
effort to save our wild life from the ex.
termination which threatens"
Opening the book at random we
came upon the chapters devoted to the
SaDdpiper, and it recalled the days of
fifty and more years ago when two OF
three Machias boys with single anti.
quated fowling piece, whose recoil left

bag was never very heavy on the re.
turn from such expeditions, but if by
chance few were killed, and anything
remained after the murder0us volIey of

and enjoyed as delectable morsel.
Middle river which was mainly a tidal
river, no longer exists and where the
tide once ebbed and flowed is now a
meadow. The chapter on the Ruffied
Grouse or Partridge brings other recol-
lections of boyhood days, and reading
the description of a partridge hunt be-
ginning on page p, do you know a
burnt patch in the woods" etc, we re-
call many just such patches. But we
did not hunt with dogs them and, in
fact, hardly merited the name of hun.
ters, The birds would fly up from al
most under our feet with such a whirl
of wings that before we recovered from
our surprise the game would be out OF
sight. The description of partridge
shooting on succeeding pages is admir-
ably done and we should like to quote
It in full did space permit. The pub
fishers, Thomas Y Crowell Il Company,

many readers. The price is 50 net;
