Granada, lying in the midst of rich plain

Arabs as well as an intellectual center for Aryan

but its stucco palace; and of this palace it may

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 an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube
is inflamed 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 it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine out of ten
cases are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous

The County Dads were in ses

kicks on the raises of assessment
and strange to say there were
few objections, nearly all the tax
payers being satisfied. They fix
ed the tax rate at $3.50 for che

for the Holbrook school district
and 90c. for the Winslow school
district. This is pretty high as
compared with last year, but is
not high when you consider the
additional expense of the state

the rate was not made sufficient
ly high last year to meet the or
dinary expenses of the county.

A firm was formed, known as Terry & Perry, and they conducted the business for about eight years, when it was dissolved. Then MT. Ter ry began to make sashes and blinds
 Later he sold the place to the Willi- mantle Linen company, and about 1St9 went into company with E. A. Bar rows, father of D. c. Barrows. They bought out the music business of J. H.
