Dwelling Burned.

The home of Mr.. E. w. Hall, in
the GAINESVILLE end of town, was
completely destroyed by fire Friday
about one o'clock. The fire seems
to have originated around the kitch-
en- fiue and when it broke out the
blaze spread rapidly over the top of
the house and those that arrived on
the scene first soon saw that nothing
could be done to save the building.
Right much Of the furniture was
saved, but was greatly damaged.
The loss is placed at about $4,000
with $1,000 insurance-$2,O 900 on the
house and $500 on the furniture.
We understand that Mr.. Hall con-
templates rebuilding as soon as the
insurance can be adjusted.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one wayto cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intiamed YOU have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the intiamma ton can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free.

pendent upon the farmers for support.
As TO the farming section, will say
that tho Washita yalleye can't be ex
celled in any state for its fertility and
excellence Of soil, and if the farmers
would only cultivate smaller tracts
Of land ana farm like they do IN the

have three staple crops that are very
prolific in that country, namely corn
