Mixing His Dates.

There is a story Of man who was
so transported with joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married,
tina, his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up at the prisoners
bar In a court of Justice to plead
guilty" or mot guilty" to a criminal
charge. So powerfully did that. the
most painful event of his life, obtrude
itself upon his mind. that when the
clergyman put the question, wit

distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, "Not guilty. so

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There Is only way to
cure deafness and that by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infinmed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is inAamed you have rumbng sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when It is entirely closed Deaf
ness Is the result and unless the Inflammation be
taken out and this tube restored TO It's normal condi
tlon. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is nothing
but innamed condition OF the mucous surfaces

Geo. Skies Sells.

Geo. Skies has sold his feed
yard and business to Jud Watson
Mr.. Skies has been in poor health
for some time, being laid up with
rheumatism, and it was necessary
for him to quit business. Mr..
Watson assures us he is going to
equip the place for much busi-
ness. and will handle everything
in the feed line. In fact he will
cater to the appetites of the
horses, mules and cattle, much
as the grocer caters to the appe-
tites of his customers.
Mr.. Watson contemplates the
installation of an engine and
chop mill, also. If he does in
stall this machinery he will no
doubt do a tall business.

Phone No. S.

Martha Ann Chubb, wife ot
Jas. H. Chubb, died very sudden
ly Sunday morning at her home
in this city. Mrs. Chubb got UP
in the morning and prepared
breakfast, but told her husband
she believed she would take a
heart tablet, as her heart did moi
seem to be working just right.
She took the tablet and ate her
breakfast, after which she sal
down in a rocker. She told heI
husband she believed she would
take another tablet, and he was
getting it for her, when she fell
forward from the chair. In a
moment she was gone.

in New York June 16, 1S47, and
moved from there to Illinois,

bic to hear anything of him.
Mrs. Chubb was a member OF
the Methodist Episcopal church,
and it was at this church the

Tho Bali Came.

The ball game last Sunday be-
tween the Carthage and Baxter
teams was one of the best ever
played on the local. diamond, and
it was a clean game all the way
through, too. Not a thing came
up to mar the pleasure Of the
affair, and the Carthage boys are
a fine set of gentlemen. 1t took
eleven innings to decide the
game, but they were all hot ones.
The Carthage boys had a good
battery, and the fielders were
good, both in and out. 1t took
the locals some time to score, but
after a while the Carthage pitch
er went up in the air, and then
the locals made enough to tie the
score, but in the last inning the
visitors whipped us out by a nose.
They were welcome tothe game,
however, and we want to say
their team is the best one that
has ever visited here.
The score:
Carthage-O10 002 100 01-5
Baxter-OOO 900 3O1 OO-4
1t was a game for the fans,
and they yelled their heads loose.
But it was enjoyable from the
fact that it was clean. There
was not a hit of kicking.
