From J. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C.-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color RestOrer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. BY
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife / have induced a number
to try it, and want you to send me q
dozen bottles by express. ] enclose
postoffice order for So to pay for it.

A Greenbaek Organ Goes for M. M
Ford. j.

About the most useless kind Of election
eering is to attack the private character of
a republican candidate. The fact is too
well known that when any legislative job
is on hand in which there is any money,
they are in for share. Now, when the
Cambridge Chief goes for NJ. NJ. Ford. the
republican candidate for state senator, It's
only telling what nearly every voter IN
Henry county knows:
J. Russell Jones is growing exceedingly
sensitive about newspaper attacks. Well
he may. His record as railway man and
q Springfield lobbyist will not bear inVes-
tigation. The least said about those silver
tea sets, and horses, buggies and carriages
that were so freely distributed at the state
capital some years ago in order to procure
the passage of monopoly charter virtu-
ally for all time, the better, Those mem
bers of the senate and house who found
horses and buggies 10 their stables and sets
of silver service on their breakfast tables
when they got out of their beds in the
morning, may pretend they did not know
where they came from, but the public has

source of these little doucers. Perhaps
Mr., j. Russell Jones suspects who the be;
nevolent individual was.
After copying the above from the Chi
cago daily Telegraph, the Chief proceeds
to say that u. Russell Jones has for years
been connected with the street railroads Of
Chicago. In lS54-5, when Nj. M. Ford
was 10 the legislature, an attempt was
made to get through railroad bill giving
the company the right to lay tracks 10 any
street they chose to for 100 years. On thu
bill M. NJ. Ford voted yea, and the bil
passed both houses Of the legislature. Tit
governor interposed his veto. 1t was Their
proposed to pass the bill over the cover
nor's veto. For this proposition M. NJ
Ford again voted aye. Not long after thi
the Honorable NJ. NJ, Ford was presented
with an elegant silver tea set.
Ford does not deny receiving the silver
but, while he says he made good thinl
out of the Chicago bill, he claims that th'
silver set was given to him by the people
Of Knox county for introducing bill tt
move their county seat. We are inclined
to believe that Ford did not sell his vot
on the Chicago bill as cheap as the Chic
charges.
