erature, and the sketch papers for

sketches of the lives of some of the

England Chroniclers" was very in
structive, giving an insight into the
lives and customs of men and women
of the early days of our country.
The lives and writings of Increase
and Cotton Mather were treated in
a very entertaining style by Mrs. w.
B. Cheatham, showing the influence
welded by these men on their gem
Grafton. Mrs. Perry Cookies paper
on Jonathan Edwards and Miss May
Clark's on Anne Bradstreet were very
much enjoyed. Mrs. E. T. Jordan

writer's, which gave a good illustra-
tion of the literature of the time.

which were instructive and enjoyed
by all. Roll call was answered by
with historical incidents of the CO.
lonial period.

CAUGHT ON THE CURB.

Mayor Marlin says he is going
to have the books of the various city
departments audited by an expert.
There's nothing wrong anywhere, but
he is right in thinking it should be
done occasionally, and that the peo-
pie are entitled to have a full and
complete account given them of their
affairs.
An accommodating citizen en-
dOrsed a check on a Jacksonville,
Fla, bank for a stranger who had
been sojOurning in Dawson a short

local bank that cashed it.
Another circus is said to be en-
route to Dawson. According to re-

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 constit1-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by innam-
ed condition Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chiap tube When this tube is in1amed 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 restored to its normal condi-
ton hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out ten are caused by catarrh which is
nothing but an infamed condition Of the mucou-
surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for

The chronicle-Past snd future.

Last Saturday the CHRoNIcLE was 20
years old. Not many papers in this
state have been under the same manage
ment for that length Of time. 1t is with
q feeling of pride that we can state the
paper has never missed an issue. While
some years have been exceptionally
prosperous, others have not, yet we have
endeavorsd to chronicle the local events
that have transpired in our midst. In
the years that have passed we have
shared in the prosperity of our neigh
bors and sympathized with them in
their adversely and sorrows.
Today the CHRoNIcLE Starts on it's 30th
year at the same old sAnd-corner Of
Custer Avenue and Setenth street
where we hope to coptinhe in business
for many years to coIe. While we
have not yet reached the summit Of our
desire, We are still hopeful.
To those who have come 10 dwell in
Custer county during the past year, we
bid you hearty welcome, and invite
you to join the family of CHRONICLE
readers.
We deem this an opportune time to
call attention of business men to the fact
that the CHRONICLE has recently pur-
chased some new type and material for
commercial work and we are now bet
ter equipped than ever, to turn out neat
job work at reasonable prices.

hail storms, or at least had his grain in
shock. His neighbor who 80 wed late
varieties of these grains lost his crop.
Almost every summer about harvest
time, or during it, sections of tire state
are visited by hail. The cheapest 1nsur-
ance we know of, or rather partial in
surance, is sowing early varieties. Win
ter wheat, winter rye, or spring rye,
sown early, early varieties of oats and
barley, Speltz sown early on we'll drain
ed land can nearly always be matnred
before our disastrous hail season, and
suffers very little damage If well shock
ed. These early varieties almost in yari-
ably give the best returns in this state.
In seven years experiments at the Col
lege, early oats gave an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre more than any Of
the later varieties. Those were the lin
coin oats, also known as Kerson, Sixty
Day, Early Russian and by some other
names. There are some Of these grown
in nearly every community. Why not
procure seed of these different kinds of
grain now while it can be done cheaper
than it can be later. II some slick
stranger were to come along offering you
a wonderful oat with a big name, that
would mature early and yield 20 BUSH
els to the acre more than the later vari-
cites, many farmers would pay IS a
bushel for some seed. Some neighbor
of yours has just such variety of oats.
Why not deal with him? There is also
a great difference in the quality of the
wheat grown by different farmers. If
yours is not the best, just own up to it,
and 60 to your neighbor and get some
thing that Is better.
Ifyou have some good seed of some
especially good variety, be neighborly
enough to try and get it used in your
community without charging two or
three prices for it. You can we'll afford
to sell it to your neighbor for the same
price it would bring at the Elevator.
We hope farmers will take hold of this
matter and try and improve the quality
of the seed for next springs sowing. All
of the Elevator companies operating in
the state, and especially the Farmers
Elevator companies should make spec
ial effort to disseminate better seed grain
in their territory.
