COL. FORDYCE
VISITS ISABEL
President of Brownsville Road
Arrived with Party.
Left for Coast Today TO Spend Month.
The Colonel Wishes to Try for
Tarpon in Laguna Madre in
Winter

A special train over the St. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico road came
in last evening about FIVE O'Clock,
bringing Col. Sam Fordyce of St.

road, accompanied by Mrs. For
dyce, their grandson, David Stan

of the U. S. Army. and also A. 7.
Perkins, of the St. Louis Union
Trust Company, who have come to
spend several weeks enjoying the
balmv winter climate of the Browns
viii country.
The party was accompanied by
Jeff N. Miller, vice president and
general manager of the Brownsville
road, who placed his elegant pri-
vate car, the St. Elmo, at the ser
vice of Col. Fordyce for the trip.
Mr.. Miller remained over night,
leaving this morning shortly be-
fore noon on his return to Kings
vile.
Col. Fordyce and party remain
ed aboard the car last night and
left this morning on the regular
train for Point Isabel, where they
will spend about a month at the
Isabel hotel. Col. Fordyce, who is
very fond of sport, and especially
interested in tarpon fishing, has
long cherished a desire to find out
whether the silver king can be
hooked in the waters of Laguna
Madre during the winter months,
and will now make personal ex
perinents with that end in view.
The colonel is also greatly interest
ed in the establishment of a coast
resort in the vicinity of Point Isa-
bel, and believes this coast is des
tined to rival all other parts of the
American coast for all the year
round resorts.

FRIDAY. JANUARY "a. 1908.

SPEAKING of the recent visit 10
Corpus Christi by high officials OF
the Mexican National railroad. the
Caller says that the construction OF
a bridge across the Rio Grande
between Brownsville and Mata-
moros will add materially to the
importance of the Bluff City as a
deep water port, owing to that
place having direct connection
through Brownsville into Mexico.
Of course, so long as Corpus
Christi has deep water ahead of
Brazos Santiago, the traffic for
Mexico would naturally come
through that port, but, so soon as
this end of the coast receives the
proper attention from the govern
ment, there will be a deep water
port nearer at hand than at Corpus
Christ

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they canno'
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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham
ed YOU have rurnbling sound or inper-
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 fol
