Interesting Meeting of U. C. V.
Thursday afternoon, June 3rd, the
United Confederate Veterans held
their regular meeting in the Hall of
the Buck Kitchin Camp. The meet
ing, though not so well attended as
usual on account of the inclemency
of the weather, was a most interest
ing one. Commander Butterworth
after calling attention to the fact
that Thursday, June 3rd was the one
hundred and first anniversary of the
birth of Jefferson Davis made a few
timely and appropriate remarks con
cerning the life of that great man.
At the conclusion of his remarks
he called upon Prof. R. L. Mills to
make further comment upon the life
of this man, Jefferson Davis, whom
the Southern people called to preside
over their Southland during such a
stormy and troublous period.
Prof. Mills said in substance that
posterity, as it had done in the cases
of Paul, the Apostle, Bunyan, Crom
well and Lee.would do justice to the
name of Jefferson Davis, and place
him in that position he so well de
serves to occupy, the position of an
honest, able, duty-loving, patriotic
man, a man who loved the Union,
but finally left it, not because he
loved the Union less, but because he
loved right more.
Prof. Mills' remarks were most in
teresting and enjoyable and added
much to the pleasure of the occas
ion. The next meeting will be held
in July at which time a speaker will
address the camp on the life of Gen
eral Ramseur.
Deafness Cannot be lured I fSSiSS
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 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 rondition. hearine will be ue-
stroved forever : nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an innamed condition oi the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for nnv rasp, nf Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
