age at the time of his death.

Capt. Robert q. Hit, or as we
know him here, Hood Hit, " was
for several gears citizen OF Lee
county, and the writer for years has
regarded Hood Hit" as one OF his
best friends. He cultivated what is
now the Ira Cook place. Hood
Hits courage and loyalty to his
friends was rarely if eversurpassed.
If one mad can love another man,
then he and the writer have been
lovers for 2 decades.
Many of the older citizens Of Lee
will remember, when in the early
seventies, he, Bob Terry, Henry
Ramsey and Mally Miller withstood
a thousand negroes in riot at old
Starksville. The riot resulted in
the death Of Mally Miller, on one
side and the wounaing Of Mr. Geo
rye Page, who with one Cameron
and perhaps one other white man,
who had the negroes: one negro,
Prince, was convicted and hung and
Mr.. Page convicted but was par
doned by Gov. Bullock.
Robert Terry was the father Of J.
P. Terry, and Fl. G. r .msey, after,
wurds studied medicine and re-
moved to Thomas county His wi
dow and children now live 3 miles

four brayer men lived than Hit,
Terry, Ramsey and Miller.
Mr.. Hit has relatives now living
in Americas, besides those in Au-
gusta and Atlanta.

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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by All inhamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining Of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is intlamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammaton can be taken out ami 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 infamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.

How He Felt About IL.

There was one man in indianapolis
this week. who could appreciate the
position of the man in the musical
comedy, "a Modern Eve" who is the
ihen-pecked husband of a suffragette.
Whether the understanding one is a
resident of the city or whether he is
one of the state fair visitors remains
"a mystery, but he is not in sympathy
with the suffrage leader depicted in
the play He was a diminutive per-
isonage with long. flowing whiskers
and a very meek countenance.
The husband, who was dominated
by his wife, had summoned sufficient
courage to speak of the matter. His
narrative of his troubles ended with
the lines, Nov, am tired of this,
am going to assert myself"
The audience applauded and the
small man was especially elated. "Bul-
ly." he cried. The exclamation brought
forth more applause than the lines.--

GREAT POTATO COUNTY.
DooIey Vans Make 200 Bushels to

w. M. Bollen Of Marsden states
that the neighborhocd canning plant
in his town did some splendid work
last year and more attention will
be paid to this kind of work next
year. Mr.. Bollen put up $500 cans
last year traits, beans, tomatoes,
etc, and says he has a market for
all he has. Next spring he will
begin canning as soon as the first
vegetables come on and will keep
at the work until after frost.
Mr.. Bollen raises the Dooley yam
potato and says it is the finest po-
tato for the table, and the sandy
land around Marsden will grow two
hundred bushels to the acre. He is
of the opinion that there are the
finest opportunities in the world on
a farm in southern Oklahoma, and
says any man who will hal fry
can make good money by diversity
ing.
