NTH the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
f%ollicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a

James Gray Porter.

We were shocked to sec tho an
nouncment Of the death of Mr.. James
Gray Porter, although he had long
been in declining health. Had Lc
lived hc would have made his mark
IN South Carolina. A nephew. of
Hon. w. d. Porter and native OF
charleston, he moved several years
ago to Aiken for his health, where he
practised law, and for time edited
the Aiken Rcrtcw. lie was bright,
genial, handsome, gentle in manners
but full OF quiet determination, md
assiduous in the study of his profcs-
sion. 1t is sad that such promising
young lives should be thus cut short.
We.must be permitted to pay our
tribute, and add our sorrow to those

nous that market should be afforded
for them. 10 refuse this is as foolish
as would be tho passage of law
declaring that nothing but flour must
be eaten in corn-growing country.
But exercise somo Judgment about it.
Do not put all the profits in tho
pockets of the silver kings. Give the
silver dollar increased weight and
then il will be an honest dollar, and no
great influx Of gold from foreign
parts need be apprchcndcd. Gold
will not be chased away, but the two
metals and the grccnback will circu-
late intcrchangably and the volume Of
currency will be increased. AS long,
however, us one sort Of dollar is worth
much more than another, it will be
locked up, thereby producing con-
traction. We arc glad to sec that the
prospects of passing this omnibus
silver bill arc gradually growing
smaller by degrees and beautifully
less. May ii and the thousand million
erccnback abortion be placed quietly
in the same grave.

The Southern Baptist Convention
met last week in Atlanta, Georgia.
All parts of the South were fully rep
resented. Besides the routine bust
ness, lively discussion sprung up
over the resolutions reported by Il
committee to whom was referred the
question Of corporation with tho
Northern Bapists. The report re-
commended the adoption of three rcso-
lutions. The first is us follows:
-RcSoired, That five. brethren be
appointed by this Convention to bear
to our Baptist brethren Of Northern
States, at their approaching annvcrsa-
rics, expressions OF our liatcrnal re-
gard. and assurances that, while still
holding to the wisdom and policy of
preserving oar separate organizations,
we arc ready to cooperate cordially
with them in promoting the cause of
Christ in our own and foreign lands.
