TAFT FEASTS
 ON 'POSSUM
And the South Gets Promise of Better
 Things.

l Atlanta, Jan. 16.-In a speech here l last night at one of the most notable banquets ever held in the South Judge Taft served notice on the professional ! Republican officeholders of this part of the country that their day is over. He made it clear to the 600 South erners who sat about him that the Republican party would no longer be run in the South merely for the con- vention votes it would yield, but that there would be a sincere effort to ap- peal to the progressive and substan- tail part of the community.
 The Atlanta dinner had long been heralded in the newspapers because MT. Tafts expressed desire that he be served with possum and sweet 'ta- ters. Well, he had both in profusion with persimmon sauce on the side.
 MT. Taft went after his possum as if he liked it. It was the finest in the lot. the plumpest in a batch of one hundred that had been gathered for the feast.
 It weighed eighteen pounds, almost twice as much as the ordinary possum, and it was one of Atlanta's own pro- ducts.
 The best possum cooks in Georgia had been impressed to attend to the preparation of the Presidential pos- sum and the other ninety-nine that had been included in the slaughter. The cooks, all of them old plantation darkies, and all of the possums with the exception of big Billy Taft caught in Atlanta, came from Judge Frank Parks place up on Worth county.
 The eighteen pounder came onto the Taft table as crisp and brown as well pasted turkey and festooned with rich yellow "yams.'
 Persimmon beer was served as a cha ser for the 'possunl.
 The dinner was held under the aus pices of the Atlanta Chamber of Com merce.

SECOND SERMON IN SERIES
 AT FIRST M. E. CHURC

The Rev. George M. Brown of the First Methodist church will preach to- morrow evening the second sermon ir the series to run through January The subject is attractive as it deals with Happiness and is a discussion regarding the source of happiness, as to whether it comes from what we are or what we possess. MT. Brown has the faculty of making his sermons very practical and this topic will enable him to speak in an instructive and an in- teresting way.
 There was a large attendance last sunday evening and probably another large congregation will listen to Mr. Brown tomorrow evening"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf. ness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamcd condition of the mucous ljn- ing of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamcd you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf. ness is the rscuIt, and unless the in- flammation 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 in famed condition of the mucous sur. faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (causcd by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu. lars, free.

years ago. At that time he was offered
large sums for his rights. but lie
though, lie had a bonanza and refused
70 part with any Of his Interests.
The plan did not take with the pub

The Mills of the Gods.

They tell us that ever so slight a
change in the earth's tipping on its
axis brought the glacial period that
swallowed up all life in the north as
the ice crept down from the pole, inch
by inch, foot by foot, When 1t right
ed itself again our present day broke,
and the river wore its way through
the rock, draining the mighty glaciers.
So the dawn OF a new humanity in
which man, facing toward the ideal Of
brotherhood, shall do justice and love
mercy is upon us now 1t is good,
when one gets impatient, to remember
that these things are so, that though
the mills Of God grind slowly they
grind exceeding small. = Jacob A.
Riis in The Survey.

large number OF mice He directed the
strange cat to stand by the door lead.
Ing into the shed while he (Pompa-
dour), slowly worked a string that had
u piece of cheese fastened to 1t, allur-
Ing the mice into the kitchen. That
night 40 or so mice were slain by
Pompadour and his assistant.
Mr.. Howe lives some distance from
the postoffice and usually sends his
mail by the last evening train. As
soon as he has his letters ready he
ties them to Pompadour's neck and
the cat carries them to the postoffice.

Manlcurlnq a Horse,

A horses hoof is really the same
thing as the toe or finger nails Of hui.
man beings, or Of animals having
toes. The hoof grows just as toe
nail does and more rapidly on unshod
horses San on those wearing shoes.
Its growth is much faster on horses
that are well groomed and we'll fed,
upon an average of third of an inch
a month. The hind hoofs grow faster
than the fore hoofs. The toe of the
hoof being the longest part, It takes
longer for II to grown down there than
at the heel. The new hoof grows out
any cracks OF defects In the whole,
gradually working down to where
1t can be cut off. just as with human
finger nails.
