Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cure

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that Is by Il
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness Is caused by an inlamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by .catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of catarrhal deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

THE REPUBLIC.
(By HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW.)

Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State
Sail on! Union, strong and great;
Humanity with a~its fears,
With all it's hopes of future years.
Is hanging breathless on thy fate
We know what Master laid thy keel
What Workman wrought thy ribs of Steel
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
We're shaped the anchors of thy hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock
IT'S of the and not the rock
"Tis but the Tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale
In spite of rock and tempest's roar
In spite of false lights the shore,
Sail on, fear to breast the sea;
Our hearts, hopes are all with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant Der our fears,
Are all with thec-are all with thee

tAmericus, Ga, Times-Recorder.)
Just beyond the little town OF
Thomson, in a magnificent, o!d-fash-
ioned Southern home. there lives
man whose very name should, by all
rights, be blazing brightly on the
halls of time.
To-day this man is in the depths of
despair burdened with woes unextin-
guishable, eating the bitter fruit of
remorse and tasting the dregs of
grief.
10 him, as 1t were,
when sorrows came. they came
not single spies,
But in battalions."
Born with an innate pride III
lashed his ambition like the whip Of
a task master and spurred him on
and on to heights which the average
country youth would not dare to
scale. this man cultivated himself,
/ developed his talents, and made HIM
! self a man among men.
He became as good a lawyer, in at
| least one particular branch Of the
| profession. as there was in Georgia.
He exhibited qualities Of states
manship seldom seen in these shall
; low times.
With his pen he employed
"Choice words and measured
| phrase above the reach
'Of ordinary men,"
His essays rank with those Of
Lamb and Macaulay.
His histories are the ablest ever
written in this country, his STORY Of
| France" being a classic and his "Na-
! poleon' the most comprehensive one
volume study Of the most famous
man Of history. His "Jeffersonian"
and Jackson" his Mexico" his
"The Hohenzollerns," even his "Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchry," are works
which prove him an historical writer
Of the highest order.
His editorial expression burns with
the fire of Marat and the powerful
eloquence of Brann, or may soothe
like the tender gentleness Of wo-
man.
Forensically, lie is even yet, with
the possible exception Of Jude Speer,
the most superb orator in the South
Certain it Is, he Is without peer
in this State as political stump
speaker,
Yet this man has
"Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate,
And welt'ring in his own blood"
However, 1t may be said that
Twas no foeman's arm that
felled him;
Twas his own that struck the
blow"
To-day, instead Of being honored
by his people-an inspiration to the
youth Of the land-his name the
proud boast Of his countrymen-he is
despised by decent-thinking citizens,
practically prescribed by his govern
ment, parah among patriots.
While others less gifted but more
devoted to democracy are giving
their unselfsh services to their ma
ton, this man is sowing the seeds of
sedition. His writings are denied the
mails, and a prosecution for an Of
Tense akin to treason "hangs heavy,
heavy over his head"

Submarine improvements.

Since April German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render 1t more dihlcult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain In ons
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom. but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb Of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes give
further assistance to the submarine IN
concealing its position. A mixture of
oxygen and strained gas 10 now used
In the engines, and the exhaust 10
