• There is a lesson in this story
John Howell’s family left last
week for Rule, Haskell County,
where Mr. Howell had gone two
or three weeks ago. He secured I
a position there in a grocery store
and wrote for his family to come
and they will make there home
there at least for sometime. Mr.
Howell was reared in this
community and has a host of
friends here who wish for him and
his splendid family happiness and
prosperity in their new home.
Dr. A L. Breeding hasreturned
from Oklahoma where he has been

B. B. Bowen sold his farm near

great strength and many oppor-
tunities. “Keeping at it" is the
secret of success.
You frequently read of the “fast-
est” brick-layer, oyster opener,
typesetter, or whatever it may be;
but , upon investigation you will
find that these “fast” people are
not at the head of their respective
trades or professions. It is the
steady workman who commands
the best wages—the man who
keeps at it.
Newton kept, at it for three
years until he discovered the prin-
ciple of gravitation, and Kepler
was nearly a lifetime in working
out his three laws of the universe.
Morse kept at it with the electric
telegraph until he turned failure
into success, and Edison kept at
it until he turned the phonograph
from a toy into a world’s wonder.
Success is rarely a matter of ac-
cident. Spirit and pluck always
achieve great results. There is no
picture show.

Meridian and vicinity was repre-
sented by a large number in Waco
Wednesday, that being the day
Barnum & Bailey’s circus visited
that city. A big time is reported
by all who attended.
As a result of an ordinance re
cently passed by the San Angelo
city commission, all magazine and
subscription solicitors in that city
will have to procure a permit,
signed by the city manager, before
they will be allowed to do business
there. That’s a fine idea, and one
that should be adopted by every
town and city in the State.
On last Sunday morning at the
close of the service in the Metho-
dist Church the pastor launched a
new plan for building a parsonage.
A minumum of $1500 was asked
for, with the understanding that
unless this amount is secured,
nothing will be done. In a very
few minutes a large portion of this
amount was subscribed. The
matter is now in the hands of a
committee which is securing addi-
tional subscriptions by personal
solicitation. Thecomittee reports
that it is making good progress
with the work and that it expect
to secure the full amount in a
short time.

Darwin was rarely able to work
long at a time. He accomplished
his great work by having a single
aim, and putting every ounce of
his forte and every hour of his
time into the task which he had
set before him.
He never scattered his energy,
he never wasted an hour, and by
steadily keeping at it, in spite of
continual ill-health and of long
intervals of semi invalidism,he did
a great work, and has left the im-
pression upon the world of a man
of extraordinary energy and work-
ing capacity.
Despondency.
When you feel discouraged
and despondent do not give up
but take a dose of Chamberlain’s
Tablets and you are almost cer-
tain to feel all right within a day
or two. Despondency is very
often due to indigestion and bil-
iousness, for which these tablets
are especially valuable. Obtain

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachiad Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result., Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Cir-
culars free. All Druggists; 75c.

How Catarrh is Contracted.

thoughtless as to neglect the colds
which their children contract.
The inflammation of the mucus
membrane, at first acute, be-
comes chronic and the child has
chronic catarrh, a disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove
a life’s burden. Many persons
who have this loathsome disease
will remember having had fre-
quent colds at the time it was
contracted. A little forethought
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy judiciously used, and
all this trouble might have been
avoided. Obtainable every-
