dicted, made his official announce
ment this week. Mr.. Gibson first

chant. He served for a time last

|nouncement as a candidate for Coun-
ty Commissioner from District No. 2

fortune. He is fine gentleman and

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 rem
edies, Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Fustachian Tube. When this
tube is intamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation
can he taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition. hear
ing will he destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars free.

Mr.. Bryan Tells This.

A booking agent for a Chautauoua
bureau visited small town in the
middle west. He called on man
who said in order to introduce Chad
tauoua it would be necessary to see
the most prominent man in town. To-
gether they called on the "first citl-
zen." and the booking agent was in
troduced.
"Mr. JONES'" said he, 81 called to

Senator Bryan is Worried.

P. Jack Becks, member of the
State democratic executive commit
tee for Putnam county, left Wednes-
day afternoon to attend the meeting
of the State committee in jackson
vile.
This meeting, it will be remember
ed is a re-convening of the commit
tee for the purpose of reconsidering
the obnoxious resolutions passed at
the regular meeting in January, ard
over which the democracy of the
State has been split up tn eback.
1t is likely that the resolutions
may be repealed, but they may not
be. At any rate powerful influ-
ences will be brought to bear on the
committee to let the resolutions stand
Senator Bryan, who is charged
with instigating the resolutions, i5
worried. In letter from Wash
ington, dated Monday, and addressed
to Mr.. Becks and presumably to
each member of the State committee
Senator Bryan says:
81 am going to make speech at
Morocco Temple, Jacksonville, We'd
ueSudy lHSllI Oil Ulle SuUJecG uldGtel
Of the resolutions which the commit
tee is called to consider on Thursday,
and | wish to extend you an invitation
20 be present on that occasion.
Il think the meeting of the com
mittee the following day is so i'm
rortant that the members Of the COM
rlittee should attend the committee
meeting in person and not give out
proxies. With best wishes, Yours
very truly, N. P. BRYAN"
That is what The News has all
along commended; that it was so i'm
portant to Mr.. Bryan that the meet
ing should be held in jackson Il lie,
where the members of the committee
could be surrounded with the same
influences that brought abJit the
original passage of the resolutions,
that Palatka was never in it with
Chairman Raney, when he was con-
sidering a place for the meeting.
Mr.. Becks states that no influence
can prevent him from voting for re-
consideration and resembling of the
January resolutions.

WHY II PAYS TO READ THE ADS,

All advertised goods are more or
less guaranteed goods. They may not car
nv an absolute guarantee with the purchase,
hut both the manufacturer and the retailer
knows that if he is offering an article worth
advertising it must also be an article that
will give satisfaction; thus, the advertising
of it implies guarantee.
The advertiser who pays his money
for newspaper space in which to tell you of
his offerings has offerings worth while Let
no issue Of this paper escape you without
acouainting yourself with the messages
from our local business houses. Get the
habit of reading every advertisement in
every issue. It's a profitable habit to
acquire.

Wheat Market Develops
New Strength and the
Close Is Firm.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Wheat rallied
after a weak start today and went to
the highest price yet this season. Gable
dispatches which were construed as
bearish, led to free selling at first but
buying on the break proved unusually
active and the market made a quick
rebound. Prospective larger shipments
from Argentina and Australia formed
only a temporary check on the bulls.
Opening prices which ranged from 4
to 1bc lower, with May 1888 to 1881
