Kditors Danburv Reporter: Gentlemen: In the Reporter of Dec. i*th, li'l t. in the closing paragraph of what you say in reference to the action of the board of county commissioners concerning the Meadows town ship road commissioners, you have this statement: "'On the advice of their coun sel.

I make the above statement so that the matter may not be mis understood. Respectfully. X. O. I'ETKEK. I XOT;:. At the time the state ment referred to by Mr. Petree was written the Reporter felt ' sure of the fact that the county ' commissioners had no authority to say who were elected highway commissioners, but since some of the citizens of Meadows town ship had referred the matter to them and asked them to sav who were elected, and since the com missioners heard and considered the argument of counsel in the matter, it was. to use a slang ex pression. "up to them" to render some decision or take some action, even if merely to satisfy THE DANBURY REPORTER ! those who had come to them for I relief. So, at the conclusion of! i the argument by the attorneys, i 1 the commissioners, or at least a j l majority of the board, stated in I substance that as they saw it their only alternative was to in-j duct Messrs. Wall and Moran in- 1 to office. Hence our state- [ 1 ment that the board confirmed j the action of the board of can- j vassers. Eimtou. | Community Improvement. Lexington Dispatch. . The recent continuous rain has thoroughly soaked the earth, and the roads are in a miserable con dition, except where they have been permanently improved. 1 When they begin to dry up is • the best time to till up the holes and drain them properly and put them in good condition by the use of a split log drag. If people generally could only realize the. 1 importance of this little road! machine, they would get togeth er and drag the roads through their own farms, at least after each rain. If that was done at the proper time our country roads would be in 100 ppr cent better , condition and it would not cost anybody anything, and would add a great deal to the pleasure and profit of the people who travel over the roads. Why not try it in your neigh borhood? Make your community a good roads community. Make it a better and more prosperous agricultural community, a better educational community, a better church going'community, a com munity that reads, and "does things." You could help to do this. Mr. Reader, if you would only try. Won't you try? 'Box Parly At Dillard I School House The lleporter is requested to announce that there will be a box party at Dillard school house i Saturday night.

Deaf j ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of 1 the Eustachian Tube. When this i tube is inflamed you have a rum | bling sound or imperfect hearing, i and when it is entirely closed, ! Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its i normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine case out of ten are caused by Catarrh, j which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. ,We will give One Hundred Dol i lars for any case of Deafness j * caused bv catarrh) that cannot ;be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, i Send for circulars, free. | F.
