ALL DRUGGISTSt SOo. TOE ROANOKE FBESBET. Great Damage to Crops, and Losses Heavy. The great freshet in Roanoke riv er last week and the first part of this week has done great damage to ?rop:. Thousands of acres of land now in cultivation have hen ir.un ulMng the rivfcr ha: Weldor PiJaiyra. Aimosc every person who own? laid on the river has suffered loss. Some have suffered more severely than others, but all have suffered. The water has not been as high manv times since the Civil War. 1377 i; the date of the big freshet to which most persons refer; and 1889 is also referred to as reaching a high mark. And from now on the August freshet of 1908 will be remembered as one of high mark and great destruction to crops. It is all the worse because it has come at a time of year too late to plant any crop at all. A spring freshet might not be so disastrous, for crops can be planted into June vith good results, but for the land. vhich this freshet has gone over the crop of 1908 is a failure. Mr. W. H. Josey, who is a heavy loser by the freshet, has made care ful notes of the weather, the fresh ets and their results. He has secur ed the following information con cerning the records at Weldon: May, 1873, 46 feet. October, 1877, 42 feet. November, 1S77, 52.9 feet. Saptember, 18S3, 46.6 feet. August, 18S9, 46.7 feet. May, 1901, 45.7 feet. August, 1903, 45.6 feet. There is yet no probable estimate of the damages, but they are large and almost every farmer along the river has sustained serious loss. Union at Kehukee. The Kehukee Union was held at Kehukee Baptist church near Scot land Neck last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Large crowds attended the meeting and but for the inclement weather there would have been many more. Quite a number of people same from a distance and all enjoy ed the occasion very much. The ministers in attendance were: Elder A. J. Mcore, of Whitakers, pastor of the church, Eider Sylvester rlassell, of Will iamston and Elder 31and, of Ay den. EiOtcsn k'ontsis en the Read. Emanuel Lloyd who assaulted Mr. John R. Askew at the Methodist c lurch here on the night of May 9, was tried in Halifax court last week. He submitted to the charge against him and Judge Cook sentenced him to eighteen months on the public roads. The limit for the offense would have been two years. John and Robert Smith were each fined $15 and cost for concealing Lloyd while the officers were search ing for him on the night of the as siult.

Every time you lick a postage stamp you get a taste of sweat pota to, as the gum on the back of all our stamps is made from that vegetable, which is supposed to be the most harmless mixture for the purpose yet discovered. The preparation is mixed in the most cleanly way at the Bureau of Engraving and Print ing in Washington, where the stamps are made. A continuous stream of the liquid falls on machines with rollers, which communicate it to the sheets of stamps. The sticking ma terial is of two kinds, "summer gum" and "winter gum," to suit weather conditions. The former is the harder of the two, and has prov ed very satisfactory in the hottest sections of our country. V ,pccifiTfo71Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil, strongest, cheapest hn. SSS cr deved.

About 11 o'clock Mr. Joe McMahon went m to see if everything was all right, no ticed a largo pane of glass out of one of the rear windows, got an axe helve and commenced peeping under counters and behind boxes and bar rels, finally running over a pair of shoes, minus the wearer. The search for the thief became more animated, he being located on the grocery side behind a sugar barrel. The Culprit was pulled out, securely tied, shaken a bit, questioned, and said his name was John Miller of Petersburg. He admitted that he had an accomplice who was a brother, and had pawn tickets on his person, this partner who had run oiT when the trouble commenced, had obligated to get rid of all the pistols, knives, razors, etc., that could be gotten from the store. His description of this helper was so satisfactory that the next morning at about 9 o'clock he was spied, seiz ed, and soon surrounded by a crowd. On being searched there wa3 found one ra'zor in right pants pocket, one in left hip pocket, one in upper coat pocket. A peculiar thing happened while he was being arrested, he seemed anxious to get a small vial from his pocket, finally doing so. Deafness Csnnct 0s Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to euro deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wiil be des troyed forever; nine cases out cf ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of mu cous surfaces.
