The High Place of the Farmer.
Marietta Journal.)

A good living is what compare
lively few men succeed in making in
village or city life, and yet nothing is
more easy of accomplishment on the
farm. Besides, there is a pleasure
in cultivating and embellishing the
earth improving and increasing its
products, and thus adding to the ag-
gregate of human happiness. Why
then, should young men hesitate to
be farmers? 1t is both profitable and
honorable. 1t is the nearest approx
imation to independence that man,
as member of society, can make.
gentleman farmer-and all farm
ers are, or should be, gentlemen-be-
long to an order of nobility that is
not indebted to place-holders for in
stallation, and may, if he chooses,
be ranked among the greatest bene-
factors of the human race.

COTTON PRICES
FLUCTUATED

Prices for cotton in the local mar
ket yesterday ranged all the way from
s 3-S cents to s rs cents for the best.
Poor cotton was not wanted Good
middling sold at 5-8 cents, 8 11-16
cents and ga cents, transactions at
outside and inside prices being pretty
evenly divided The market showed
more activity in the morning, buyers
hardly looking in in the afternoon,
as the offering stock had been pretty
generally cleaned up. Purchases
were confined to the incoming cotton.
The receipts for the day were 1928
bales and the sales 239 Quota
tons are unchanged, at 8 ga cents,
good middling basis.
The New York market more than
held its own. The opening was l to
4 points higher In the first hour the
market eased off, but after the II
o'clock call rallied. The close was
point or two off from the highest,
steady, to points above the last for
the day before

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 hiatt is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

LEWIS DAWSON.
Cotton Mills Busy.
New York Times.)

Great is the reaction in the New
England cotton mills from their re-
cent state of idleness. Within the
last three weeks three coastwise
steamships have carried more than
100000 bales of cotton out of Saw
annah into Boston. Yesterday a
high official of coastwise steamship
line reported that the buying OF
cotton in the New England States
within the last few weeks, judging
from the shipments given to his line,
exceeds the orders for any similar
period in several years.
For months, as result of the
financial depression, in which thou
sands of mill hands in Massachu-
setts and sister States were laid off,
the drop in the buying of cotton by
the wooden manufacturers was tre-
mendous. The reaction seems cor
respondingly large. The steamers
CITY of Macon, City of Memphis, and
CITY of Columbus, which the Savan-
nah line had been operating as
freight and passenger carriers into
this port, were taken off tnat service
because of the cotton-carrying or

Thes world will care a single straw
Where Haskell gets his board or how
Or what's become of Harry Thaw'
The heroes whom we cheer today
May not call forth single cheer
And newer, grander heroes may
Be proudly hailed within a year.

Long-honored senators to fall
The marks of care may all be gone
From Hobson's pale and lofty brow;

Scent FARE HAS
BEEN DEFEATED


Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 30.-The fran
chise under which the Municipal
Traction Company is operating the
local street railway lines on a Scent
fare basis, was defeated by majori-
ty of S79 in the referendum vote here
Thursday. The total vote cast VISA
upward of $4,000.
The defeat of the franchise may
mean that the railway property will
revert to it's original owners, and
that the old rate-of-fare strife, which
lasted seven years, will be renewed
The only alternative will be for the
City Council at once to grant a new
franchise, which will save the prop
erty to the Municipal Traction Com
pany. 1t is stated by unprecedented
observers that the franchise was de-
feated not SO much upon the issue
involved as upon the general dissatis-
cation of the public with the service
given by the operating company.

WOmen's Fall Hats
(The New York Times.l


It is time to say another word or
two about the shockingly ugly and Of
sensive hats of the supposedly we'll
dressed women. The fall hats are
worse than ever. They have greatly
increased the pains and penalties of
metropolitan life, as they not only
offend the vision, but they interfere
with personal liberty" When a
woman wears one of the incroyable
hats to the theater, and reluctantly
removes it as the curtain is rising,
she places it on her lap, but it COW
ers the laps of the persons on eth
err side of her. If one of these hap
uens to be a solitary man, and
there is another woman with the
same kind of hat on the other side
of him, he soon feels that he might
as well have been born a turtle.

Climax OF Long War

The vote came as the climax of
the general street railway war that
has ragged here for years, with g.
cent care and ultimate municipal ow-
nership as the goal of the city adj
ministration This was constantly
opposed by the Cleveland Electric
Company, which has been charging a
scent fare. During the progress of
the strife, a new company, the For
est City Railway Company, fostered
by the city, began the operation of
cars over few competing lines on a
Scent basis.
A settlement finally came under
an agreement to consolidate the two
companies. lease the property to an
operating company, the Municipal
Traction Company, which agreed to
make the general fare within the
City Of Cleveland cents.
