NOT THE TOWN, BUT YOU.

If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody get ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see.
1t isn't the town-it's you.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an intiamed condition OF the mu
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is innamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh.
which Is nothing but an inflamcd condition
Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) thar
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE FIRE.

There was much excitement in
town last Friday when DR.. S. G..
Thomson's house caught fire about
eleven o'clock in the morning. The
fire is supposed to have originated at
the we'll house from the ash barrel,
and had made such headway that the
well house is a complete loss, the
bath room and pantry were burned
and the four back rooms in the
house badly damaged by water. The
fire company did splendid work and
deserved the "well done" OF the peo-
pie of the city.
