Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhat deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the m-cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube inflamed 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 to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.

We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there, is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness.

Notice. Be it known to all the churches affiliating with the Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive Baptist Association, that Rev, H. E. Williams, is the only legal and recognized State missionary for these Associations. Any other man styling himself a State missionary, though he be an angel from either worlds he has no appointment from the General Baptist Association and is an interloper and is misrepresenting the the facts when he visits the churhes affiliating with the above named associations as such. J. B. McCravy. Mod. The old Mt. Olive has a foundation and a record behind it, as it was founded on solid facts and not on hate and misrepresentation. Its early founders stood for something in the days of yore. "Woe unto the Shepherd that divide my sheep."

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE- We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory, thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, 'though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career- I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma.
