Postmaster Bradley desires to call at
tention to the practice of some patrons of
rural delivery of placing loose coins in
their boxes each time they desire to dis
patch letters instead of supplying them
selves with postage in advance of their
needs. This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers IN removing
loose COINS from boxes and delays them
on the service of their routes. The post
master, therefore. urgently requests that
patrons of rural delivery provide them
selves and keep on hand supply of
stamps consistent with and in advance
OF their needs. 1t is also very desirable
that rural patrons place in their mail
boxes small detachable cups of wood or
tin in which to place coins, when neces-
sary. in purchasing supplies of stamps

Les-Jsckson Day In Charles Town.


The Lee Jackson birthday celebration
held in Charles Town last Tuesday even
ing was an eminent success. The court
room. where the celebration took place,
was handsomely decorated by the ladies
of Lawson Bolts Chapter, under whose
auspices the meeting was held. Rev.
DR.. A. e. Hopkins presided and made
the opening prayer. and Rev. ]. S. Al
friend offered the closing prayer and
pronounced the benediction. A volun-
teer choir. with Mrs. T. M. Baker at the
organ. rendered General Lees two fa-
vorite hymns" How firm foundation
and "For all the saints who from their
labors rest" The speaker of the even
ing was Col. r. P. Chew. The Colonel
was not only knightly soldier of the
South, but is known to be an eloquent
orator OF no mean degree. Hence the
large audience room of the courthouse
was well filed with much interested au-
dience which remained rnbroken from
reveille to taps. Col. Chew. instead of
following the beaten tracks and repeat
ing the oft told handsome eulogies OF
Lee and Jackson. well deserved as they
are. chose rather to recount their battles
and have the stories of these wonderful
achievement tell more than tongue could
utter OF their undying glory and renown.
He could not have pleased his auditors
better. and those who were fortunate
enough to have been present are indebted
to him for a rich intellectual heat.

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused BY an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is fnflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear.
Ing, and when 1t is entirely 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 ont of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an nflamed condition 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 Cure. Send
fer circulars; free.
