Churchill accompanied Mr.. Fielding

Everybody is glad to know that
Mrs. J. A Morse was not seriously
hurt in the accident which she met
last week while driving to the post
office. Her pony. Matte became
frightened, jumped and threw her
out. but she landed in a sandy place,
which no doubt was the reason that
she was not seriously injured.
Mr.. Geo. 4. Douglass, who was in
our burg last week, left for Lake City

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
tiammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing Will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

BETTER FOR THE BOYS
Give Them Healthy Amusement. and
They Will Stay Out of
Pool Rooms
Miami MetrOpolis)

One of the new laws signed by
Governor TrammelI one day last
week provides against minors enter
ing a pool room. And a minor is a
youth. who has not attained the age
OF twenty-one years.
This law, like others of its nature,
will be enforced in communities
where parents want it enforced, so if
there is any town in Dade county
where boys under twenty-one years
OF age are in the habit of frequenting
pool rooms, that town may put stop
to the habit very effectively.
And in place of the pool room.
towns of Dade county in which in
telligent people prevail will provide
something more elevating, will they?
Parents who are grieving over the
bad habits their sons are forming al
ways attempt to provide a substitute
for their pleasures, do they? We are
really anxious to have an honest an
swer to the query.
The pool room so often means
things worse than pool, even with its
near-gambling. The crowd that
gathers about a pool room often use
language and exchange stories that
are anything but refining and then
sometimes the pool room has a blind
tiger adjunct, a poker-playing ad-
junct, an altogether ne'er-do-welI
adjunct that could hardly be expect
ed to teach a boy honesty and clean
illness, nor give him a taste for hon
orable business pursuits.
At the best-and there are some
pool rooms that are never objection
able-the pool room is not the place
for boy to spend all of his leisure
hours but-and here is the point-he
must have some place provided for
those leisure hours. Give a boy a
good gymnasium, a good reading
room, an opportunity to go on the
water and, he will seldom have any
use for the cigarette-laden air of a
pool room and will easily form good
habits that will be with him when he
has passed the age of twenty-one.

BUSINESS CHANGE

With mutual consent and friendly
feeling We have this day dissolved
o-partnership in the business here
tOfore known as Helvenston and Pas
teur. The senior partner has bought
the entire stock and accounts of the
firm and the new management Will
be under the sole control of 4. T.
Helvenston. MI, Pasteur expects to
engage in an occupation less confin-
ing. Our relations have been always
most pleasant and it is with mutual
regret that we sever our business
connections.
We wish to thank our friends and
customers for past favors and solicit
for the new firm a continuance of
their patronage.
The present owner wishes to as
sure the public that the stock will be
kept at the same high standard as in
the past, in the various departments
hitherto carried, and improvements
will be made from time TO time. Gus
toners will at all times receive the
same courtesy and careful attention
that have ever characterized our
store, 8-2-6t Very truly,
Z, T. Helvenston.

panies pouncing upon the remains
like so many yultures, tearing out the
vital parts and shipping them across
country for expert examination
These organs, in their proper func-
tions in life. were doubtless thor
oughly examined before the policies
were issued. Why this post-mortem
scrutiny? The answer must be that
it is merely in the hope that some
fact may be developed which would
give the companies a footing in court,
in an effort to defraud the henefi-
ciaries, to deprive them of the ben
efits which the deceased had in life
provided for them and for which he
had paid the companies Offering the
protection.

LOOKING FOR LOOPHO|ES.
Consequences of Before and After
Taking With the Insurance
Companies
tTampa Tribune)

The activity of the life insurance
companies which insured the life Of
the late E. o. Painter, of Jackson
vile, in endeavoring to find some
loophole to escape payment of the
policies, creates considerable COM
ment among the people. Such Incl
dents tend TO disturb the faith Of
the general public in the efficacy of
life insurance as an investment or as
a protection. 1t appears that the
companies always use every en-
deavor, after the death of the policy
holder, TO escape the payment of the
money. This is the way 1t looks from
the outside and it Is not surprising
that there is a growing feeling of
distrust.
In the case of Mr., Painter, it ap-
pears that he carried an unusual
amount of insurance, something over
a million dollars. Much of this he
had only recently taken out, but it is
presumed that he passed all the
tests required by the companies
which insured him and that he paid
the premiums in such manner as was
satisfactory to the companies, else
policies in such large sum would not
have been issued
HE. Painter met accidental death
by falling from ferryboat into the
st. Johns river We now read that, at
the instance of the insurance cem-
panies, his body has been dismem-
bered, his stomach, heart and lungs
removed and sent to hospital in
Baltimore for examination. Just
what connection there may exist be-
tween these organs Of the deceased
and his falling from the ferryboat is
not clear to the layman. But the
putchering Of a dead body in this
fashion is most revolving to the or
dinary mind and creates general in
dlgnatien,
These companies accepted Mr.
Painter as a risk and accepted his
money or It's equivalent, binding
themselves to pay the face value OF
the policies to the beneficiaries in the
event of his death. This was a fair
and square bargain, into which the
insurance companies walked with
their eyes open and, doubtless, after
taking unusual precautions as te
physical examination, owing to the
large sum involved, The insured and
his beneficiaries had right to expect
that, upon his death, the companies
part of the cotnract would be car
ried out. Instead, we find the com
