The Cotton Carnival given at Nat
ehes last week was distinctly a sue
,ssss in every particular. The city
was thronged with visitors and the
parade Of Friday was perhaps the
most beautiful pageantry ever seen
In that city. Every body who went
felt well repaid for the trip and en-
joyed every hour Of the festivities.
Natchez is to be congratulated on
TIE progressiveness Of her people in
rreparing such q novel, instructive
and interesting fete.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
he CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
Catarrhal Deafness requires constiru-
tional treatment. HALLS CATAnRI1
MEDICINE is . constitutional rene
dy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inflam-
nation can be reduced, your hearing
may be destroyed forever. Hal LIS
CATARRH MEDICINE acts through
the blood on the mucous surfaces Of
the system, thus reducing the IN
flammation and restoring normal c.n-
ditions.

ALL BIDS REJECTED.

As published in the Gazette the
last several weeks bids for letting of
contract for construction of the grav-
ell road from St. Joseph to Ashwood,
known as the st. Joseph Tallulah
highway, were opened at the office
Of the State Highway Department,
at New Orleans, on Monday, 21st
inst, and it is now learned that all
bids were rejected. The cause Of
rejection of bids has not been an,
nounced other than a statement, how
ever tangible we do not know, that
the U. s. government, which had
agreed to go $3.50 with the State
and parishes in building of modern
highways, had not approved speci-
hcations of this work. What there
II to this statement we do not know,
but much doubt is being expressed
by many Of our people as to this
being the true cause Of rejection of
bids, and some have gone so far as
TO suggest that favoritism Of con-
tractors by the State Highway De-
partment has influenced the Depart
ment to hold up the letting. We can
not vouch for the correctness of this
or any other story, but mnst admit
that it looks peculiar that bids for
this letting were opened before it
was ascertained whether or not the
federal government would bear one
half the expense Of construction of
this highway. Following are the bids
