Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies, Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous li- ing of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine case out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Granville Superior Court convened in Oxford on Monday at 10 o'clock, with Judge Henry R. Bryan, of New bern, presiding. Mr. Leroy Elliott Is In charge of the court room and the other officers are at their posts. The following grand jury was drawn: A. C. . Parham, foreman, Henry Dixon, W. M. Moss, E. G. Murray, J. C. Tippett, H. II. Eat man; G. F. Clark, E. T-White, E. N. Bragg, R. T. Moss, R. H. O'Brien, G. R. Fuller, R. H. Butler, J. C. Hop kins, M. Blalock, L. W. Parham, J. T. Bobbitt, Hardy Harris. The offi cer of the jury is Mr. James Bradsher. Shortly after the jury was drawn Judge Bryan delivered his charge to the grand jury, which was a lengthy one. We voice the sentiment of the people when we say that this charge was among the very best heard here for a long time. It was delivered in that dignified and easy style which is characteristic of Judge Bryan. The style was clear, strong and sim ple and the entire criminal law was covered and in a way which could but impress the grand jury. Judge Bryan is no grand-stand or gallery player, but has the dignity necessary for the ideal judge. And besides he Is a good lawyer and able presiding judge. His rulings are never hasty, but uniformly mild and courteous, yet always firm. We gladly welcome him to Granville again. Solicitor Brooks is here and as usual is a terror to evildoers. He Is one of the most intrepid and fearless solicitors in the State. The criminal docket is not large there being only one case of importance. That is the Jesse Allen assault case. Monday afternoon was taken up with the case of the State vs. John Crenshaw, white, who was charged with the larceny of a hoe and plant bed cloth. The case was warmly contested by Solicitor Brooks and Mr. A. A. Hicks for the State and Judge Graham and Gen. B. S. Roys ter for Crenshaw, very able speeches being made by both sides. The jury was out only a short time and re turned a verdict of not guilty. Jesse Allen, charged with assault, was brought into court Tuesday just after dinner and arraigned. He showed no signs of either fright or emotion. He Is a stout, thick-lipped negro of the burly type, and Is a low class, ignorant man. He Is not, how ever, of a very bad countenance. The case will be tried today (Wednesday) and will probably consume all the day. Messrs. Graham & Devin have been employed to represent the de fendant Allen and are making a strong fight for him. Lee's Tribute to Carolinians. Gen. Lee's speech to the editors at Morehead charmed all who heard him. In reporting the speech the New Bern Journal says: "When the orator spoke of the gal lant achievements of North Carolina's soldiery in the Civil War, his voice gathered volume and sweep and his face flushed with enthusiasm. From his own kindling eyes to those of his hearers emotion seemed to leap in glad flashes. He spoke in burning periods of Worth Bagley as the first and only naval officer killed in the war with Spain. He recalled the fact that the First North Caroli na, under Colonel Armfield, was the primal regiment to march through Havana. His tribute to our brave soldiers was one to make the heart swell with pride for the dear old mother, Carolina, that gave them birth." WANTED.

Mead ows the proprietor will convince you that the Farmers Warehouse is the place to sell the remainder of your crop. It will be found by a little personal experience that the Farmers Ware house is in fine running order for the coming season, that the proprietor has sold all of the tobacco owned by Meadows & White and by himself In cluding scrap.

A hint to the wise is sufficient. Thanking you for your very liberal patronage in the past and promising to give you better service in the fu ture I am, Yours to serve, J. F. MEADOWS. Aycock for the Cabinet. Mr. L. H. Robinson, of Providence, comes forward with the suggestion that in the event of Parker's election Governor Aycock should be made his Attorney-General. Mr. Robinson hardly believes our "Educational Governor" would "run amuck" under any circumstances, but he believes he would give the country an exhibition of sure enough "trust busting" in that position. Mr. Robinson's suggestion is one that will meet with a great deal of favor not only In this State, but all through the Southland. Governor Aycock is eminently qualified for a cabinet position. Charlotte News. Bishop Joseph S. Key, Southern M. E. hurch writes: "We gave Dr. Moffetts TEETIIINA" (Teething Powders) to our little grandchild with the happiest results The effects were almost magical, and cer tainly more satisfactory than from anything we ever used."

The majority of our people were very much surprised Saturday morn ing to learn that Miss Mattie Smith, sister of Mr. L. F. Smith, had passed away during Friday night, as they were not aware of her critical illness. She had. been sick about ten days, and the disease developed into fever and she sank rapidly until the end came. She was a most excellent young woman and greatly esteemed by all who knew her. She was a member of the Methodist church and leaves behind a mother, one sister and two brothers and a large num ber of relatives and friends to mourn her taking away. Saturday afternoon the remains were taken out to the old Crews burying ground, near Tar River, and in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends were consigned to the windowless house of the dead to await the resurrection morn, the burial services being conducted by Rev. W. H. Puckett in a solemn and pathetic manner. To the bereaved mother, sister, brothers and other relatives the edi tor extends deep sympathy.
