four O'Clock in the afternoon the

attended.
This day which is one of the
most observed of the Catholic
Church. drew more people to town
than former years, due to the fine
spring-like weather.
The day and its scenes were alike
typical of the reverence in which
the people of the parish hold their

better for the hour spent with their
dead.
The cemetery Was in clean con-
dition for the occasion, flowers and

Catarah Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. a. they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There IL only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrh Deafness 10 caused by
an infiamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube 10 inf1amed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness Is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed. Many cases Of deafness are
cauaed by cstarrh. which is an infiamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Cstarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the
mucous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Catarrh Deafness that can-
not be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure.

The fact that New Orleans 10
rists could not supply the demands
made upon them for All Saints
Day. and had to order flowers from
Chicago and st. Louis is not to
the credit of the State, with all the
land that could be put to use, but
