Next Tuesday is General Election
and it is the duty of every voter to
vote on this occasion. The Repub-
licans are making a hard fight to
put their men in, and with the num-
ber who were disappointed by the
primary results, some of whom may
not vote at all and others, just for
spite, may vote with the G. O. P.
or some other party, the Democratic
majority may be smaller this year
if the Democrat voters do not do their
duty by going to the polls next Tues-
day and cast a straight vote for the
nominees. We feel no uneasiness as
to the result in Bosque County and
Texas, but only want to call your at-
tention to what might be the result
if no attention was paid to the elec-
tion.
Of course you read the Tribune—• |
but do you pay for it?

The Tribune is devoted to Winning
the War and the Upbuilding of Mer-
idian and Bosque County. We are
doing our level best, and on account
of the shortage of workmen, our local
and personal columns are short of
items.' Won’t you assist us in keep-
these columns full of local and per-
sonal items? If you know a news
item, tell us; if you have visitors at
your house, tell us,and if you visit
any out of town place, tell us. It
takes items of this kind to make an
interesting local paper. We have no
“pets”—the Tribune is your paper
and we want you to be proud of it.
You can write the items and send
to us if you prefer.

ing the north 160 acres of the C. M.
Hubby 320 acre survey, less about 40
acres thereof in the northeast corner
owned by E. M. and J. C. Linberg,
and containing 120 acres more or less
described by metes and bounds in
plaintiffs’ petition; that all of said
land is fenced and improved and same
has been fenced and improved for
more than 20 years next before filing
this suit; that defendants and each and
all of them have caused certain deeds
and muniments of title to said land
to be recorded on the deed records of

Satarrhal 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 Eustachian 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- .

land precluding any right, title or in-
terest of the defendants and each of

specially plead in their petition in the •
usual form. Plaintiffs pray that de-
fendants be cited in terms of law to
appear and answer their petition, for
judgement finding plaintiffs to be the
owners in fee simple of said land ana
vested with full and perfect right and
title thereto, cancelling the title and

to said land, for all costs of suit, and
for all general and special relief.
