Catarrhal Deafness Cannot he Cured
by local applications, as they can

catarrhal deafness, and that is by a

deafness IS caused by an inhamed

suit. Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored TO its

STORY OF A FORGOTTEN STATE.
The State of Franklin, which Nobody
Wanted or Would Have.
(Kansas City Starr

State in the Union that everybody
has forgotten. 1t was named after
an eminent citizen Of Philadelphia,
cally, with Il Governor, a Legislature,
courts of justice, and even body
Of militia.
1t came about in this wise: In
wild mountain region of what was
destined some day to be Tennessee
asked the Legislature Of North Caro-
lima to annex the territory in ques-
ton. This was done, and it remained
part Of North Carolina until the close
OF the Revolution. Then the Legisla-
ture of North Carolina ceded it to
the Federal gopernment---not at all
at the solicitation Of the latter, but
merely to get rid Of it as a means of
reducing administrative expenses. Ii
was designated as the District of
Washington, and the only condition
attached to the gift was that Uncle
Sam should approve the bargain in
Sl0e OF I"O years.
The settlers. who had not beer
consulted in the matter, objected We
hemently. They called conven-
tion, which met in August, 1884, and
formed the State of Franklin. There
upon the Legislature of North Caro-
lima reannexed it, but the people of
Franklin declined TO accept this sec
ond adoption. They chose as Cover
nor John Sewer, a famous frontiers
man, who was duly inaugurated at
Watauga in March of the following
year.
Unfortunately for the new State,
bitter political quarrels arose. Two
factions struggled for the mastery,
, each in turn seizing and carrying
, off the official records. The courts
hccame chaotic. Wills, titles to pro-
perty and other legal papers we're of
, doubtful legality and binding force,
, and even the legality of marriages
was in dispute. Taxes could not he
, collected because the tax, payers did
not know to whom they could pro-
perly make payments. Finally Gov
j ernor Caswell, of North Carolina, is
sued a proclamation declaring that
the State of Franklin had no lawful
government, stigmatizing it's officers
and adherents as rebels. and demand
. ing their surrender and acknowl-
odgment OF the authority Of North
Carolina. The response being Il re-
fusal, the terms ot the Proclamation
wcr" enforced Dy troops.
'- SEWER was arrested and brought
to trial. In the midst of the judicial
proceedings he decided that he had
more important business elsewhere.
and coolly walked out of the court
room. Nobody thought il prudent to
detain him. and the prosecution end
cd then and there.
The erStwhile State Of Tral&iin
continued to he a part Of North c 'ro7
lima until 1890, when the Federal
government took it over 1t was ad-
mitted to the Union as the State Of
Tennessee on June l, 1896.
Franklin, while it existed as
State, even authorized a metal coin
age--a function which to-day is re-
, Stricted to the Federal government.
But the money in common circulation
within the borders was the pelts of
wild animals. Thus, at the last scs-
sion Of the Franklin Legislature, in
October. 1887, g bill was passed fix
ing the salary Of the Governor at one
thousand deer skins per annum

Aids In Pick q Fowls.

Picking fowls by hand Is tlresome,
troublesome job, but 1t Is no longer
necessary. A feather-picking machine
is on the market which Is quick and
cheap and will not injure the fowls.
Moreover, the feathers are kept dry
and clecn, and where ducks and
geese are to be plucked, the machine
will soon pay for itself.
