Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
! the ear. There is only one way
| to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
i the Eastacian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be
| taken out and this tube restored
; to its normal condition, hearing
j will be destroyed forever; nine
! cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
! Dollars for any case of B nfness
! (caused by catarrh) that \ nnot
be c:. red by Hall’s Catarrh ire.

GOV. DAVIS SPEAKS Of HIS FATHER.
! —
Says He Can look Down From Heaven
and “See that We are Going to
lick Them Again.”
Mena, March 7. —Governor
i Davis spoke here today for the
: first time since the death of his
father. Chancellor J. V. Bour
;
i land of Ozark was present to fill
I the appointment had the govern
or not arrived. Senator Nor
wood presided, and the Davis
i opera house was crowded with
an audience of about one thou
sand people.
W. F. Kirby spoke for half an
hour in the interest of his can
didacy for attorney general, and
then the governor spoke for two
hours and was well received.
He made his usual speech, but
alluded to his father when
speaking of the Confederate sol
diers, saying that his last words
were, “Jeff, 1 want sc much to
live to see you nominated for the
United States Senate.” The
governor also said, “I love heav
j en better now than ever before,
because my father is there, and
though, like Moses, he was not
permitted to see the promised
land, yet he can look down from
there and see that we are going
to lick them again, as we have
!done five times before.”
j The governor advised the far
mers to organize, and spoke gen
erally of the benefits derived
'from unions. He said, “You
' need in the senate a man who
Is a good asker.” He referred to
1 the bribery cases in his strongest
language. He said that while
John S. Little would not support
him, and while he conceded that
: Senator Berry would carry Se
' bastian county, he wanted his
■ friends not to vote for Attorney
General Rogers for governor.
Many persons from the country
were here to hear Governor Davis
who was in good voice.
He goes from here by buggy
tomorrow to Oden and Mount Ida,
Montgomery county, returning
here Friday and speaking at
Hatfield, in this county, Friday
| night.
