shine or of storm, and having care
fully prepared your ballot, deposit 1t

freeman. None of us pretend to say
that Democracy is perfect, none
righteous. no not one, y but those
who remember and think do agree
that in Virginia at least, its record as
compared with that of the Repubh-
cans. is as day to night. Remember
that y. O. James is the Democratic
candidate for the Secretary OF the
Commonwealth in place of D. z. kg-
gleston, deceased, and see that you
do not confuse the name of d. q.
Eggleston with that of j. D. Eggles-
ton. Jr. The latter is the candidate
FIR Superintendent Of Schools, and ms
name should be left as it appears on
the ticket. We are careful in the
transaction of our private affairs and
should exercise like care when it comes
to deal with matters OF public concern
There is too much involved in the
coming election that Democrats should
be made the victims Of mistake. Vote
early, vote carefully, and we will TO-
qether rejoice in the results OF glo.
rious victory.
To the rescue, for it is Virginia thai

Unknown. Yet Great.

Milwaukee Journal: He did not
have great success in business, but no
one calls him a failure. He was an
honest man; he would never stoop to
deceit; he would not misrepresent or
overstate fact; he was generous, be-
lieved in men and was gentle in his
treatment of women and children. He
earned enough to buy home and send
his children through school.
Now he has retired from business
because of i'll health. He has the hap
piest smile and CHEEKY word for his
neighbors and friends. He holds no
dark thought against any man-even
those who imposed upon his fine nature
He is happy man. His name will not
be chiseled into the walls of the Hall of
Fame, but he has not lived in vain, for
there has been real sweet satisfaction in
his living. To know him is to get a
new grip on faith, to know about him
is satisfaction in itself.

Sun Republic: The annual statement
rendered by Supt E. J. Perkins to the
State Board of Control for the care of the
chronic insane in the Iowa county asy

this institution is self sustaining and
usually has a credit balance of about
100000 every year. If the money re-
ceived from the state was paid to the

by the county board would be done
away with, and the actual condition of
its financial affairs would then appear
in the superintendent 5 report. Under
the present plan it appears to the casual
reader as though the asylum was bur

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-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have Il rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it 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 out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
