Teachers Institute.

The County Institute for the white
teachers of Monroe county will be
held at the public school building at
Aberdeen, beginning on Monday,
August 30, and continuing one week.
The Institute will be conducted by
Professor Weathersby, of Mississippi
College. Prof. Weathersby is an ex-
perienced Institute man and is an
able educator; and, with the hearty
cooperation OF all teachers, will give
us the best Institute we ever had. His
work is specially adapted to the needs
of our country teachers, and is in
tended to help them solve the prob
lens with which they are so frequent
ly confronted.
The County Superintendent expects
every teacher in the county to attend
this Institute, and to spend five days
in earnest, faithful work to increase
their usefulness in their respective
communities.
We had a successful Teachers In
stitute in this county last year, with
about ninety per cent. of the teachers
of the county in attendance. And as
a result of that Institute the Superin-
tendent could see decided improve
ment in the work of nearly all the
teachers who attended. Teachers who
attend Institutes and Teachers Asso-
Citations are worth more to the coun-
ty than teachers of similar grade who
do not attend. And those teachers
who neglect this opportunity for i'm
provement will not receive salaries
equal to the salaries of those who
take advantage of it. Let every teach
er in the county come.
Respectfully,

The friends of Mr.. Joseph Mays
throughout this county and section
of country, win regret to learn OF
his death. which occurred at Helena,
Arkansas. from a stroke of paralysis,
last Friday. A native Of North AL
ALBANIA, Mr. Mays came to Monroe
county in early manhood and was
an active participant in oru affairs,
including an honorable service
through the civil war, until proba-
bly, fifteen years ago. when he re-
moved to Coahoma county in the
Delta. With the great energy and
industry that characterized the man
he soon became one of the most
prominent and successful planters
of the Mississippi bottom and ac-
crued large properties in the way of
cotton plantations. He served IN
der General Forrest in the Confeder-
ate army ald was one of the most
gallant soldiers that wore the gray.
Although IS years of age he was as
active when the summons came as
though a man of only forty.

We for one. do not favor the re-
tention of the old capitol by the
State. Years ago the building was
adjudged unsafe for occupancy and
the cry was kept up until the new
and handsome State house was built.
Then we see a change of sentiment
aud it is urged in various quarters
that the old building be held by the
State and dehabilitated so as to
make it safe for future years. We
confess to a degree of sentiment,
but not In matters of this kind
The old building has fulfilled it's
mission in State history. 1t has
passed beyond the day of material
usefulness and we are of the opinion
that the State would be materially
better off were she to effect a sale of
the property as a whole. The loca-
ton is an ideal one for various sorts
of business enterprises and in the
hands OF private persons could be
made a profitable investment

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 that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnfiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of Eaustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by

The Horse Show in the South.

Nowhere in all this land of ours
can better horses be raised than in
the territory surrounding Memphis.
where the Tri-State Fair is TO be
held Septem Der 28-October 9, this
year. The trouble has been that
farmers have been too busy fighting
over the cotton exchange reports to
pay much attention to horse raising
until now, when they find the ever
necessary and faithful work horse
worth as much as four bales of cot
ton. The result is that horse rails
ing is coming in for much thought
these days. The Tri-State Fair, at
its big show atsMemptis. September
28-October 9, is going to have the
greatest exhibit of horses ever seen
on a Southern fair grounds, and is
going to do its part in inducing the
planters and farmers to raise the
right kind of horses at home and
exchange them for the dollars of
the buyers from North, East and
West.
AZ the fair the manager hopes to
have every kind of a good horse on
exhibition. and especially the kind
that are needed and can be raised
pro6tably in the South. In addi-
ton to the prize-winners from Ken
lucky, middle Tennessee and Mis-
souri,, the fair wants all the South |
ern States represented. There are
special premiums for horses owned |
in the Tri-States and other South |
ern States. Colts, stations and |
mares will get premiums. You can
show against your neighbors, and |
and also compete with the big ex-
hibitors from the middle States, if |
you think you can win.
Send foi a catalogue. and if you
have a good horse don't be afraid |
to exhibit him.
