IAN effort is being made to starve

s!ble for the use OF the submarine

1t is understood that the British

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. ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
in famed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inilamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an innamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.

Mrs. X. II. DOWdle Killed

A terrible tragedy was enacted near
Columbus last Sunday morning at 10 20,
when Mrs. r. H. Dowdle was run
over and killed by the westbound
Mobile & Ohio passenger train at Beer
sheeba Crossing, seven miles east of
Columbus. Miss Dowdle and her hus-
band were riding in a buggy at the
time and attempted to cross the
tracks when they realized that the
train was too near. Mr.. Dowdle
turned his horse parallel with the
track and Mrs. Dowdle jumped, land
ing in front of the onrushing train.
They were on their way to Sunday
school.
Mrs. Dowdle was killed almost in
stantly, the engine, water tender and
baggage car passing over her body.
The train was stopped and backed to
the scene of the accident and the body
placed aboard and brt ught to this city.
Tonight it lies at the undertaking
parlors of Gunter Brothers. The train
was in charge of Engineer Gayle and
Conductor Mcfarland.
Mr.. Dowdle escaped without serious
injury. He remained in the buggy.
The unfortunate woman's three chill
dren were providentially spared, ii
would seem, from the horrible acci-
dent. Mr.. and Mrs. Dc wdle, together
with their three little children. :. had
left home for Sunday school, As they
were passing the home of friend the
parents were asked to let the children
stop and ride to the church in an auto
mobile. The children arrived on the
scene cf the accident just before the
train with their dead mothers body
resumed its trip into this city.
Mrs. Dowdle was about 35 years old.
She was Miss ANNA Greer before
marriage, and was prominent in the
New Hope community where she lived.
She is survived by her husband, three
childred and other relatives in this Sec
ton.
