Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions 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 in
famed YOU have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, 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 caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall s Catarrh

A Word About Obituaries.

This paper makes diligent effort
to record all the deaths in town in
the next issue after the death oc-
ours. Effort is made to get the par
ticulars so far as practical or pos
sible, and it is an embarrassment to
us, after we have secured particu-
lars of a death and printed them, to
have obituaries sent in week or
two later with request to print.
We will gladly print any item of
reasonable length if sent in at once
after the death occurs.
Permit us to suggest that it would
be well for some member of the
family in which death occurs, or
some friend of the family, at once to
collect particulars of the life and
death of the individual and send
them promptly to the newspaper man
He would greatly appreciate 1t and
it would give a more satisfactory
report than he can get Oft hand,
without pushing his way into the
very presence Of death to get par
ticulars.

So Glad He Took 1t.
ton.

A good citizen in another part OF
the county for whom the editor of
THE COMMONWEALTH about year
ago wrote insurance in the Union
Central, writes now that he is glad
indeed that he took the insurance.
He says his health is very poor now,
and if he had waited perhaps he
would not have been able to get the
insurance at all.
If you need insurance you would
better take it at once. Your health
might fail also, and then the older
you grow the more it will cost you.
The Union Central offers insur-
ance equal to any other and super
ior to many other contracts. 1t leads
in dividends to policy holders.
If you want a policy call on or
write me.

house; at J. Whit Bells large elm
tree blown down; at Mess. Pendle-
toms chimney blown from top of the
house; at J. Y. Savage's large shell
ter blown down and truck garden

oaks blown down; at JnO. Coughen-
ours two fine oaks torn up in his
yard and chimney blown over, which
broke into roof of his house; at B. |.
Allshrook's window panes blown out;
at J. E. Hancock's farm near town
porch blown clear over the house; a
tenant house at Mrs. HarrelPs moved
off the underpinning and several
chicken houses in town blown other.
Perhaps there was over damage,
but it has not been learned.
