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 inilamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the En-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
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 is 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
surfaces.
We will give 500 for any case OF
Deafness caused by Catarrhl that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

Interesting Wartime Diary.

HOr SPRINGS VA, Sep, 3 1908.
EllHor Of FarmpiHe Hcraid: In go
ing through some papers belonging to
the estate Of the late Joseph W. War
rem. late Of Millboro. Va, ran across
a diary kept by him in your town IN
1862 and 1863. Mr.. Warren married
Miss Virginia Hopkins, formerly OF
Louisa County, Va, and they lived IN
this county for great many years.
She died some years ago. Mr.. War
rem died in 1904 at his home at Mill
boro, where for many years he was
merchant. He was very reliable
man, and was one of the most prom
inent citizens Of this county. His
diary IL only for a short time, but It
appears TO me 10 be Of interest, aud
have copied it, and herewith enclose a
copy for your paper.
Yours very truly,
j. +. McAllister.
August Il, 1862.
We. the Southern Confederacy, are
now engaged in a bloody war with
ruthless foe. We have been fighting

To be had. Bacon Is worth from SIX

dollars per bushel, this being the prin-
cipal crop. Can't say anything about

FOUR KINDS OF FOOLS
ARE PREACHERS THEME
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones Tells
: of Various Forms of
WifIessness

Intellectual fools. social fools, eth
ical or moral fcols-the first of these
said Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago
Friday evening at the Second Uni
tartan church. "the most persistent and
common type, the kind with an empty
head. is most easily studied. He chokes
.a.l reform and progress with the rope
OF his heavy stupidity. He is horribly ex-
pensive because he is so numerous, be-
cause he always does even the right
thing in the hardest way. and because
he leaves a thousand things Undone
which he might do.
AS for the social fool if the head
has its sense, the heart has its sensi-
hiitv. and lie is as great a fool who
misses the one as the other. To this
class belongs the skeptfc who believes
ia no mans integrity and no woman's
virtue. These fools carry about. with
them the contagion of encouragement.
They are q moral malaria that carries
sgue to the heart and sets the affec-
lions shivering. Who has not felt what
heavy tax one such spirit as this Ievies
upon the better life of community?
The fnal class ended the speaker
'is the saddest. most terrible fool of all !:
the moral fool. Such was Iago. the most
detestable creation in literature. Such
was Richard III From Napoleon, the
most gifted fool of modern times, back
to Alexander extends the line of men
who have tried to set aside the laws of
the universe: who have defied the meth
ods of God. The world is all gate
cried Emerson Truly, but the gates
are all barred against the fool Only
knowledge makes the universe trans
parent. The mechanism of life runs
freely only in the grooves ordained
by the power that called cosmos out

Premises

President Casey of the board of pub
lie works is authority for the state
naent that all main streets in the down
town district wim have been put in good
condition before the fleet drops anchor
in san Francisco bay. Casey said:
we are working hard to get the
main streets in the best shape possible
and we are making very satisfactory
progress. Most all of the property
owners are lending aid by removing
debris from in front of their premises.
but occasionally we meet with STUB
born one. Several owners who have
shown no inclination to clean up need
hot be surprised # they find a gang
Of men dumping the debris back into
the lots We most certainly viii IN
sist on having the downtown streets
cleaned, and if property owners VIII
not do the work willingly we will DO
fl for them in a way that will not
please them.
I'VE have sse, 500 available for street
work and contracts for third of that
sum have been let. Within the next
few weeks Market street from the ferry
20 Seventeenth street will be in good
repair The Barber asphalt company
expects to complete the work before the
end of this month. From Second street
10 the ferries Market street is in ex-
cellent shape.
''The works department is now re-
paving Mission street from Ninth to
Twentieth. and contractors are at work
from Twentieth to Army. 1t is our in
tention TO call for bids next week for
the repair of Mission street from Army
70 Crescent avenue and from Silver
avenue TO the county line. When this
work is completed we viii have a per-
feet road from East street TO the San
AIateo county line. Folsom street from
Seventh to Twenty sixth viii also be
repaired. and Golden Gate avenue to
the park viii receive attention.
Although the funds at our disposal
for street work are limited. yet we ex-
pect TO make showing that will sur
prise and please the people"
The finance committee of the super
visors have agreed to recommend the
