Fire at Orrum A Night Ex

aways Explained Other Matters.
Correspondence of The Kobeaonion.
Mr. Leonard Britt went to
Boardman today on business.
Mr. Swain Britt went to Kings-
dale today on business.
The writer attended a political
speaking at Long Branch Fri
day night which was Demo
cratic and one at Boardman Sat
urday night which was Repub
lican. It was like a man said at
one time "one was as good as
another or a little gooder."
Mr. Roland Stone says he is
going to the "House", whether
elected or not Mr. "What's-his
name's" house, though.
Several from here went to
Boardman Tuesday to witness
King & Tucker's circus. . They
say it was very good.
Messrs. Archie Britt, John
Parker, Jas. A. Britt and W. A.
and David Britt have just re
turned from the beach. They
got very wet but got plenty of j
fish.
Well, I guess "Phil" is off
somewhere fiddling on a large
potato or a biscuit or something
of the kind. I expect he could
take a ginger-snap and strike
up an old time tune. But if he
should come to Orrum and enter
school and not act right Prof.
Williams would fiddle his "Phil."
I don't go to school to have a
fine or large time, but to try
and learn something. I am very
sure Prof. Williams has never
pulled my ears when I didn't
need something. I was talking
when he got me. He has pulled
many more besides mine. If
"Phil" had been reared where
they pulled ears or probably heads
off he would have been a better
boy than he is although he is
good enough to fiddle a potato.
Orrum is becoming a business
place for the last week or two.
farmers keep selling cotton at
8. They won't hold it.
Miss Cashwell, of Parkton, is
here and school will open Mon
day.
"Happy Jack" went to Board
man with a boy. We won't tell
his name at the present but we
stayed till after dark, and that
boy couldn't find the stable he
put his mule in. He went into
one man's chicken coop and tried
to harness an old hen. We cer
tainly did have a time. I ex
pected we would be arrested for
stealing biddies. But after a
long hunt we found old No. 1,
and you ought to have seen us
get out of town.
We came near having a runa
way ourselves yesterday, but we
were not m the cart; the mule
just walked ol and when we
would try to catch him he would
run. He went home and stop
ped. Since the above was written
we have heard of a fire at Or
rum, our weekly home, which
occurred Sunday morning about
1 o'clock. A whole block in the
center of the town was burned
and one store after another. The
fire started in Floyd Bros, store
and completely destroyed their
store and a dwelling and one
store belonging to Prof. Shep
herd. Thewhole town was threat
ened but the fire was stopped.
The exact loss is unknown.
We have just found out why
these are so many runaways.
Some say Prof. Shepherd's horse
is a Republican and the profes
sor is a Democrat; Mr. Emon
Britt is a Republican and he has
a Democratic mule; Democrats
won't pull Republicans; so on it
goes.

To be Held in New York City to
Illustrate the Dangers of This
Dread Disease Carries the
Message That Consumption
Can be Cured by Fresh Air,
Rest and Wholesome Food.
The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, which is composed
of the leading men of the coun
try and is entirely humanitarian
and altruistic in its work, is con
ducting an educational campaign
against consumption and to this
end is sanding out press bulletins
to disseminate information about
this disease. Tuberculosis is the
most fatal of all diseases in this
State, as elsewhere, and the State
Board of Health is co-operating
with the Nr'ional Association in
this work, which it; is hoped will
be the means of saving thousands
of lives. The following has been
received from the headquarters
of the association in New York
City:
"By November 15th the great
est exhibit on tuberculosis that
has ever been gathered will be
opened to the public in New
York City. The exhibit, which
formed part of the recent Inter
national Congress on Tuberculo
sis, will be shown under the au
spices of the Tuberculosis Com
mittee of the Chanty Organiza
tion Society, and the Department
of Health.
"The Exhibition consists of
charts, photographs, maps, mod
els, diagrams, and all sorts of
paraphernalia that have to do
with the prevention, study, or
treatment of tuberculosis. Ex
hibits are shown from 15 differ
ent counties, and from 200 asso
ciations and individuals. All in
all, the exhibition includes near
ly 5,000 units. It will take 50,
000 square feet, of floor space and
110,000 square feet of wall space
for the display of the exhibition.
Ten special cars and over 1,200
packing cases are required to
transport it.
"During its three weeks' stay
in Washington, this exhibit
was viewed by luny zuu,uuu
people. The exhibit of the
Charity Organization Society,
which forms but one small
unit of thir. entire exhibition, has
been viewed bv over a half-mil
lion people in New York City.
From these figures, and a com
parison with the attendance of
similar exhibitions, it is estimat
ed by the authorities in charge
of the prtjnc exhibit, that prob
ably over a million people will
see this educational display while
it is in New York City.
"The exhibit, as it will be
shown in New York City, is
unique, not onlv in the fact that
is tne greatest oi its Kina ever
gathered together, but also, be
cause this demonstration, collect
ed for a purely educational pur
nose, is used to illustrate the
dangers of only one disease,
entire exhibition publishes
carries but one message,
consumption can be cured,
that the cure for the disease is
fresh air, rest and wholesome
food. These simple facts are
emphasized in every conceivaole
way.
"Charts and diagrams show
the fearful ravages of tuberculo
sis in various parts of the world.
In the German exhibit, a series
of small painted wooden pillars
and blocks of different heights
demonstrate the comparative
mortality from consumption in
various groups'of the people. The
United States Census Bureau
shows the deaths from tubercu
losis in a unique way, in
dicating by a flash of elec
tric ligh: that someone is
dying from tuberculosis in the
United States every two minutes
and thirty-six seconds; 23 every
hour, and 584 every day.
"Some of the most interesting
exhibits are those showing the
treatment of tuberculosis. One
fact is emphasized, however, in
every sanatorium, "shack," or
dwelling-house offered as a
means of treating consumption,
and that is the patient must have
an abundadce of fresh air. Ev
ery model of buildings shown
is designed to give a maximum
amount of fresh air to the pa
tient both day and night. Balco
nies, houses, tents, and groups
ot buildings ot every sort show
this phase oi campaign against
tuberculosis.
"The numerous means employ
ea to spread the "gospel of fresh
air, rest, and wholesome food
are snowr. in phamphlets, and
small exhibits. Hundreds of tons
of literature are being prepared
lor tree astnoution at the corn
ing exnioition. Everyone who
attends wui be able to receive
information on anv side of the
tuberculosis problem in any of the
American or Europeoan lan
guages.
'Among the individual exhib
its, which will be shown in New
York-are eight which recently-
received from the International
congress on tuberculosis prizes
ranginginvalueirom$l,000to$100
Besides these, 44 of the exhibits
to b3 shown were recipients of
Watched Fifteen Yeais.
"Fr fiftoen vears I have watched the
work.ng of Bucklen's Arnica Salve;
and it has never tailed to cure any sore,
boil, ulcer or burn to which it was ap-
p.ied. It has saved us many a doctor
bill,' says A. F: Hardv, of East Wil

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and mat is by constitutional remedies.
neatness is caused by an innamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is innam
ed von have a rumbling: sound or imper
fect hearing, mi when it is entirely
closud, Deafness is the result, and un
less the inf.amrr ation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forev
er; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothingbut an inflam
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will .eriveOne Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's catarrh
cure. Send for circulars, free.
