Foolish Fly.

"
This is told for a true story by Tom
McNeal.
In a certain town In western Kan
sas. whose name IL withheld for OBJ
vious reasons, there was a hotel which
was al near the limit, perhaps, as any
place that ever m~asqueraded under
the name of a place where a traveller
could get food and lodging. On one
occasion a man who was looking the
country over stopped at the hotel fof
dinner. The meat was a few pieces OF
fat salt pork swimming In grease; the
bread was q batch of biscuits 30 hard
that you couldn't break one with a
Ratchet, and the butter was as strong
as llmburger cheese. The stranger
was hungry. but not near enough to
starvation to be able to eat anything
that was on the table. As he sat
looking over the board with disgust q
fly alighted In the half-melted butter.
The stranger carefully helped the fly
out OF its trouble and. as he watched
It crawl feebly away. said: Il know
what's the matter. with you. You're
feeble-minded. Any insect that has
wings to fly with that will loaf round
this hotel must be a burned fool

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local application, as they car
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is. only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when il
is entirely closed, Deafpess is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that can not be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

BOND QUESTION

The legal voters Of Huntingdon
are called upon to say, at the bal
lot box, whether or not they favor
the issuance Of $4,000 in bonds,
$1,000 to be used in the erection Of
dormatory for the use of Prof.
j. H. Bayer in his school work,
and $1,000 for carrying water,
light and gravel to the east end.
The question is meeting with
considerable opposition. 1t is be-
ing opposed by some of our best.
TODD citizens. and it is very ques-
tionable whether the bond issue
carries, unless those who favor the
proposition get very busy, The
opposition wants Prof. Bayer to
buy the dormitory when com
pleted, when the agreement be-
tween Prof. Bayer and the, board
of mayor and aldermen provides
for a lease, and Prof. Bayer posi-
lively declines to buy.
The character of school that
Prof. Bayer contracts to give the
town is such that the friends Of
the proposition feel should amply
warrant the town in building the
dormitory and gixinghim a lease.
The town has never had so fayora-
bic a proposition on the school
question. Never before has Hunt
ingdon had it in its power to fur
nish the children of the town a
high school course, embracing all
subjects taught in the best grade
preparatory or training schools in
the state. a course sufficiently am
pie to admit students completing
the course into the colleges and
universities of the south. This
school is to run nine months in the
year, and will be free to all within
school age in Huntingdon.
We see no just cause for any
quibbling on a point Of this kind
If the town wants a good school.
The east end proposition is only
one Of justice to that portion Of
the town. This work will have to
be done some time and the sooner
the better.

Automobiles are growing in pub
lie favor and thousands of them are
being used. They afford a pleas
ing way of travel where roads are
good. They are, however, very
dangerous and hardly a day passes
that the daily papers do not give
accounts Of one or more serious &C
cidents to parties in machines Of
this kind. Frequently carelessness
is the cause, but often the accl-
dents seem to have been unavoida-
BILE. The automobile is here and
it seems to have come to stay, and
those who operate them should
feel the responsibility of driving
with care and at a speed the lea t
calculated to bring about acc
dents.

Tennessee once had statesmen to
look after her affairs. Then men
wouldesacrilice all selfish ambitions
for the honor and for the good Of
the state. Tennessee is ruled to-
day BY politicians, and her affairs
are being allowed to go to the pow
vows with no faction patriotic
enough to come to the states res
cue. Each faction is holding off,
allowing the states credit to be
sacrificed for fear some other fac
ton might be helped. This is a
disgrace to the state. The mem
beers of the Legislature should lay
aside every selfish and political am
bition, get together and save the
states credit. The people Of Ten
.nessee will certainly not endorse
such criminal neglect of duty, and
those responsible for it may expect
to hear from them in the future.
