at home, with the exception of two
daughters, who are married. The
next to the youngest daughter is ill
at this time with tuberculosis of the
hip. .'-. i----''<

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deaf

his tube IS inflamed you have a rum

and when it is entirely closed, Deaf

Made Enough to Purchase Land.

Uncle Charley Davenport was here
Saturday from Glenn, His cotton is
opening hurriedly and he was look
ing for hands to help him in the
work of gathering. Mr. Davenport
has gathered his corn. He cultivated
it along the lines mapped out by the
federal agricultural department AMI
it made an average of 33 bushels to
the acre. The land he has is thin
land and sells cheaply, and the crop
of corn this year, Mr.. Davenport says,
will pay for the cultivation and pay
the entire first cost of the land. He
made especial efforts with one acre
of land and from it last year he gath
red LOO pounds of seed cotton and
this year he gathered from it sixty
bushels of corn.

MAN KILLED BY SEABlRDS

From Antofagasta comes report of sailors death from unique causes.
 Anxious to desert from his vessel the Urania German sailing ship which had loaded q nitrate cargo at Caleta Coloso. he jumped oVerboard with a Hfebelt while the ship was being toWcd out to sea. Later the captain. discovering that the man was missing. guessed what had occurred and requested the captain of the tug to keep d lookout for the sailor when returning to port.
 This the tug captain did, and was rewarded by discovering about three miles from the shore the body of the unfortunate man. which had been kept afloat by the lifebelt. Upon q cursorv examination it was found that life was not eXtinct but on being taken from the water the man shortly breathed his last on deck. He had two deep wounds in the skull which were evidently inflicted by the beaks of the numerous seabirds. swoping down from great heights South Pacific Mail. Valparaiso.
