Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
tnf1amed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot

CONVICTION Of
COAST MAN HAS
BEEN APPROVED

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-The
United States circuit court of ap-
peals has upheld the conviction Of
John Shea, of Cordova, who was
found guilty on the charge of sec
ond degree murder for shooting and
killing Rance W. Book, in Novem-
Der, 1917.
The shooting was the result of a
feud between the two men, which
was started by Book marrying
Shea's divorced wife.
The case was bitterly fought at
the time of the trial and conviction
of Shea, and it was hoped by Shea's
attorneys to have the verdict set
aside by the higher court and new
trial ordered.

BRITISH RAILWAY STRIKERS
HAVE RETURNED TO PLACES

AS a result of the termination Of
the British trainmens strike, the
shipping board announces a partial
lifting of the embargo on sailings

embargo will be entirely removed
within a few days, provided there
are no further interruptions to the
British train service.

nation of hogs against cholera, Since
the campaign made in recent years by
the state to minimize The dangers OF

has been very little cholera during the

crops ever raised In Tennessee turned
out TO be about the usual average as
to the number OF bushels produced in

to report, shows bad quality, very
light and low grade. A larger acre
age of tobacco is shown than over the
same period of last year and while
plants in some localities were late in
being set out, they are doing well.
