Mr. and Mrs. Emory Strieby and Mrs. Strieby’s two brothers, took ad vantage of the opening of the hunting season Monday, and started to hunt on the Madison McPherson farm. They held a short conversa-1 tion with Mr. McPherson, who was husking corn, and then started away. They had gone but a short distance when a rabbit put in his appearance and started back over the route the hunters had come. Emory pulled up his gun and shot before thinking of the close proximity of Mr. Me- ■ Pherson, and the charge struck the. ground in front of the latter, the shot rebounding, onto the person of Mr. McPherson. One shot lodged in each arm and several others in the body, without seriously injuring him. The accident might have been attended bv more dire results than those ensuing. 12th District Postmasters.

Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they caunot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is oy constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation cau be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
