The Crop Situation, In conversation with the farmers and *t cfcmen from the different parte of the connty who are here attending court hie week we learn that the situ tion throughout the county is very encouraging notwithstanding the fact that the drouth continues. Water is becoming quite ccarce in some locali ties and a great many farmers are hauling, but they say the prospects are very bright for a splendid crop this year. To bear out our assertion J that everything is in good condition,1 the farmers with whom we have con- ! versed with in the past few days tell us that wheat is an excellent shape. It was not injured to any great extent by the freeze of some weeks ago. The light rains which fell before and after the freeze has helped the young ' plant materially and it looks fresh and j healthy and is growing nicely. The ground is said to be in excellent con- ! dltion, contains a great deal of moist ure and plows nicely. Farmers say that the ground is being put in splen did shape for plantiog. This part of Texas has been dry before and things ; loosed a little gloomy, buta good kind ! providence has never yet failed to send refreshing ehuwers to this goodly land in time to make a living for man and beast that dwell therein. There fore, let us not despair, say our pray ers, do our whole duty and trust to him who doeth all things well, and the good citizens of Ellia county will live to be as prosperous a» any people.

It | Deafnesà Cannot be Oured 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 constitution al remedies. Deafness, is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of tne Kustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and un less the lullamatlon can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyd forever : nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mueuous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that caa not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. K. J. CHKNKV A CO., Toledo, O.
