The Charleston Gazette reproduces in
full the splendid poem, The Land
Where We We're Dreaming, of the late
Judge Daniel Bedinger Lucas of this
county, and says edltorially;
At the expense of space we are repro
ducing for our readers today the cele-
brated poem by the late Judge Daniel B.
Lucas, entitled The Land Where We
Were Dreaming" As will be remember
ed by many readers of this poem, Judge
Lucas, who lived at Charles Town, sat
upon the West Virginia Court of Ap-
peals from 1890 to 1892 The copy was
furnished at our request by Judge Irs E.
Robinson. ot the present court. Judge
Robinson is man who combines a dis
terminating literary taste with legal at
tainment, and although buried in the
'musty tones" of the law he catches the
melody OF passing song or feels the
rymthm of poetic impulse. Judge
Lucas poem is written in meter pecul.

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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
nearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
nammation can be taken out and 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 infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of
Deafness (caused by caarr that ca be cured by

II is proposed to boycott eggs until
prices are reduced to a reasonable rate.
Mayor Riddle of Atlantic City says: Il
am willing to lead if citizens will follow
me in abstaining from eggs altogether
until they can be purchased in the mar
kets at reasonable figure. If all the
people in the country could be brought
to see the point. corners would soon
cease, 1t wonld mean that mauv would
have to go without desserts, but this
would be for short time. =

A mistake on the part of the coun-
.ty officials in making out tax bills has
entailed much additional labor upon
them, to say nothing of the incon-
venience caused the taxpayers. The
state tax of six cents on the hundred
dollars valuation was entered on the
tax bills as five cents, thereby rem
dering all tax bills defective. Some
of the larger taxpayers had paid their
bills before the error was discovered.
These will be asked to pay the ad-
ditional cent on every hundred dol
lars of their assessment. The bills
not already paid can be easily cor
rected. The error was due, the local
officials assert, to the failure of the
Board of Public Works to certify
their state tax levy to this county.

Gaping frightful accident on the

within an inch of the hub. The de-
tached wheel ran ahead of the car,
and was seen by the occupants before
they were aware that it was a part

keeping the disabled car from fitting
over for some distance. The driver
Slackened the speed of the car at

firmly gripped the steering wheel to
