A Beautiful Country.
Ye local look advantage ul the line
weather and a wheel and on Saturday
afternoon made a spin into llm country,
going a lar a Civil Bend and back.
The road are uot all that could bo (la
ired lor wheeling but are such a one
can got along teaaonably well over by
exercising the quality ol patience and do-
ng a Utile walking. After the grade
along (he side hill south of town ia
passed the road 1 good till the Winston
bridge I passed, after that there I con
siderable op one (id t and down the other.
But the country look lovely, whsre
but a tew day sgo were the bare branch
es ol tree extending heavenward, ap
parodtly dead, meadow with but little
grass and lots ol water, stock (landing
around sheds ruminating, and not overly
fat; those whose business required them
to go on (be roads, after prying their
wagon oot of a madhole with a fence
rail and filling the air with a delicate
tint of blue. Now all is changed, the
young leave of the deicduous tree are
patting lorth, and the light green color
ing standa in strikiog contrast witb the
more sombre bue of the evergreens. The
fruit trees are "glorious in their ap
parel," laden witb blossoms that fill the
air with fragrance and beautify the land
scape. The grass i growing io the
meadows and the kine cbeweth the cud
contntMdly, Tbe plowman iib merry
whistle drive hi team afield and turn
the stubborn glebe, tickling the soil that
it may laugb abavest. And as the even
ing shadow fall, the milkmaid too, in
picturesque attire call bossy from the
pasture and soon witb foaming fluid fill
her pail. One could not help but feel as
Solomon felt when be sang: "Rise up
my love my fairy one, and come away ;
for lo, tbe winter is passed. The rains are
over and gone, tbe flower appear on tbe
earth and tbe voice of tbe turtle is beard
in the land." Without being irreverent
it may be said that thia ii God's country,
and it appear that the proprietor is not
neglecting the beautiful vales of the
Umixjua thia year. Bountiful crops ol
fruit, vegetables and cereals are almost
assured, and tbe faces of the farmer are
shortened up and the traveller is greeted
cordially. It is worth one 'a while to go
out at time and commune witb nature
in her pleasant mood.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach (ho diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness ia caused by an inflamed condi
tion ot the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and w hen it is entire
ly closed Deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed foreyer;
nine cases out of teu are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
