HAIR REVIEWER

Has stood the test OF seven years before the
| pucllci and no preparation for the hair has
yet been discovered that will produce the
same beneficial results. 1t is an entirely new
| scientific discovery, combining many Of the
most powerful and restorative agents In the
| vegetable kingdom. 1t restores Gray Hair to
| It's original youthful color. 1t makes the scalp
white and clean; cures dandruff and humoIS
and falling out of the hair; and will make if
grow upon bald heads, except in very aged
persons, as It furnishes the nutritife prfnei-
pie by which the hair is nourished and sup
ported. 1t makes the hair moist soft add CLOS
sy, and is unsurpassed as a HAIR DRESS
ING. 1t is the cheapest preparation ever or
cred to the public, as one bottle viii accom-
pllsh more and last longer than three bottles
of any other, preparation.
1t is recommended and used by the FIRST
MEDICAL AUTHORITY.
The wonderful results produced by our ST.
Slllan Hair Remover have induced many to
manufacture preparations for the Hair, un-
DER various names; and. in order to induce
the trade and the public to purchase their
compounds, they have resorted to falsebood
by claiming they were former partners, or had
some connection with our Mr., Hall, and their
preparation was similar to ours. Do not be de-
celVed by them Purchase the original: 1t has
never yet been equalled Our Treatise on the
Hair, with certificates, sent free by mail See
that each bottle has our private Revenue
stamp over the top of the bottle All Others
are limitations.

and Commercial, as well as the good people OF Rome
in general may well feel proud of their troop OF ire
men. We only wish Marietta could boast OF as
much. The people of Marietta will not appreciate
the importance and want of Steam Engine with

houses are again wrapped in confiagraon, then their

wise and contributed of effects for the protection

But then It will be too late. There will have
been enough property destroyed to have bought sev

known their own interest and purchased Fire
Engine we dare say that the recent fire in that city,
,vould have left more than one business house and
100000 worth of property would not have been de-
gtroyed.

ute $50 apiece and the City Council woudse theold

Our Picnic Excursion to Gainesville.

In response to the invitation extended to the citl
zens of this place, we, with large number of our
citizens entered the cars Cnroute for Cartersviiie to
enjoy the festivity of a bright summers May day
On arriving there marched to the beautiful
shady grove designated for the occasion and made
ourselves as comfortable possible After an interval
Of half an hour we were then addressed by Mr. Har-
rison vino was introduced by Gen WOiford-who, IN
behalf of the citizens of Cartersville and barlow
County made welcome both those of Marietta and At
lanta, and delivered an address quite appropriate to
the occasion In reply Col Gaskill of Atlanta paid
his compliments to Mr.. Harrison and spoke OF the
recreation it afforded them, and at getting away from
the smoke and hustle of Atlanta and that these social
gatherings were calculated to give praise to God and
man. We would like to give a full detail of the ex-
cursion but space will not admit of it. After the
delivery of the addresses we called upon to pare
take of the sweet meats prepared for the OCCASION
We then refreshed ourselves by partaking of cecold
lemonade. ice-cream, &c, then, made way for the
cars, and all being seated moved oft, delighted with

One Of our earliest recollectons is from Tennessee
"A State which has furnished many wonderful
s,ores We recollect with what rapt interest we
listened Ia the recital thar the brothers riding along
discovered that they were pursued by Hoop

hrotbers. His death and burial. How another OF
the brobers nut ON the deceased brothers Boots and
died-each of the other brothers following his exam
Ule likewise persisted before it was ascertained that
the fatal born or sting had been left by the snake in
the Boot
We have, at last seen one of these vertable snakes
-Hoop-Snake, Horned Snake, whatever you may
cal ii. While living in this country we have heard
many say they have seen it-some that they
had killed Them and we have often thought II we

Museum as a great curiosity. One day last week IN
passine locality where some Masons were employed
blasting Rock we were told they had Just Killed
Singing Snake. We found it to be about u feet
long-a slightly iattened body-black on the back
with alternate stripes of red and black beneath The
ton of the head seemed slightly corrugated nat and
less acute than other snakes. The Horn had been
eli, from the end of the tail resembling in color the
sting of insects, larger and hard as the Rooster

The Storm.

There was quite storm visited our city on Satur-
day night last Dark and heavy clouds began to
roll up about o'clock, in threatening aspect, the
wind rose in power and might, and swayed the trees
to and fro, lifting one the edge of the pavement
near the JOURNAL OFFICE up by the roots and hurl'
ing it with majestic fury the street, making
complete blockade Next it Frustrated one of the side
shows, and those inside of Lakes Big Show were
scared out of their WITS expecting every moment to
be pressed to the ground by the large canvass Atone
time the wind raised the inside poles, that were at
tached by ropes stakes drove in the ground, as much
as four feet knocking the seats and lamps of the mu
sicans into one pe the rain in torrents came down
rendering the situation unpleasant. But such things
do not last always, for when the King of Day arose
next morning the dark clouds had driftcd into OBJ
security, the violent winds had died away into gentle
zephyrs, and sunshine and serenity reigned
