4 CHANCE FOR BaLDHEADS.
Their Day of DeiiVcrance Has Dawno


This Is the are Of wonders-wonders in
science, wonders in mechanism, wonders
IN everything. 1t has been said tina: the
man who causes two blades of grass to grow
where only one grew before is a public
0enefactor. What, then, shall be said of
the man who causes q full and luxurious
crop of hair to grow upon the barren and
shining pates of the large army of bald
heads who have well nigh despaired of ever
having u natural covering for their heads
again? What place, in a word, shall be
assigned to the discoverer of Carboline?
Shall he not have a conspicuous niche in
the Temple of Fame, and stand first
among the benefactors of his race? To
impart new life and vigor to the dormant
energies of a diseased scalp: to give
strength and f~ullness to a weak and stray
Cling growth of hair; to bring back the
natural color and gloss to bleached and
faded locks, are no ordinary achievements,
since chemists and therapeutics have
sought in vain to accomplish them for
centuries. All honor, then. to the discov-
erer of the new hair restorative, Carboline
and let one and all join in expressing a
higher appreciation of the uses and posi-
bilities of that wonderful product of petro-
leum, which contains the elements that
work such mysterious and gratifying
changes. Kennedy i Co, Special Agents,

GNLD! GOLD! OLD


Americans, like Ortosral, of Basra, de-
sire that the golden stream should be sud
dcu and violent, or, in other words, that
riches would flow III upon them in q sud-
den aud vio!rut stream. The ladies' are
also like Orto-rai. They want their hair
to dow like IL golden stream Of beauty from
crows to feet. Carbollnc will do it. 1t
makes the hair Soft and silky, and causes
it to grow long and IuXuriantly. 1t is an
extract from petroleum and thoroughly de-
odorized by q secret process, without the
Aid of acids or aikalies. 1t has taken years
Of hard work 10 accomplish this great re-
suit; but. thanks to the chemists art, it
has at last been so completely deOdorlzed
that it can be used az daintily rs the fam
qua " eau de cologne" of Parma fame.
The color has. at the same time, been OBJ
iterated, and there can not be possibly
,nY objections TO its use. 1t is cleanly and
cooling in its application, and sotlloroughly
penetrating III its nature, that the seat OF
disease is reached at once and further. it
will certainly do all that is claimed for it.

Manchester i'm Mexico.

DusIuesS being u and having a
desire to stroll, and see if any one
else was doing more than US, we
went west till opposite the man.
moth Mexico WOODEN Mills. Our at
tention vas attracted by the number
of country wagons around the mill
and the hustle and stir of men and
general business air of the place. We
went in, and must say, that though
living within sound of the mill whis-
tie and hearing frequently of the
amount of work executed, we had no
idea Of its extent. Its magnificent
machinery, the regularity of its run
ming, the immense power used and
the multitude of hands, who daily
and nightly are engaged in this work.
System and energy seem to be the
controlling impulse throughout the
whole establishment, from engine
room to garnet. Going IN on the
ground floor, we we're met by that en-
bodiment of good nature and energy,
Mr.. Robt. Self. chief engineer, who
kindly showed us through. But, to
attempt to remember, much less de-
scribe all we saw is useless. Giving
the main features we will say, that We
saw machinery which we had no idea
was used in as small q manufacture
ing place as Mexico.
The first room we visited was
where the wool as it is taken from
the wagon IS received, and there we
saw the torn downest, harrassing,
bur-twisting, dirt clenser and burr
extracting apparatus that was ever
anoalded, making the cleanest and
streightest wool out of the dirtiest
and burr matted wool that ever grew
on a Sleeps back, From thence we
followed it all through carding,
spinning, b%roaching, warping, color
ing, weaving, until landed on the
shelf of the sample sale room near the
mill.
This community, and our farmers
in particular, owe a debt of gratitude
to Mr.. W. H. Rice, the energetic
proprietor of the Mexico Wooden
Mill for getting in active operation
such q vast amount of machinery al
SO great a cost thereby opening uE
a market for every pound Of WOO
raised in the county, for which casl
is puid, or james blankets, yarn.
cloth, socks and hose are exchanged
all of the best quality and made o
all pure, home grown wool and NJ
Yanky downeast mixture of cotol
and wool, palmed off for an all WOO
article. Our citizens should cOnsid'
er this matter, the amount of mOne'
expended for labor here among us t.

spot cash paid for wool the advan
tagc OF trading with home folks
whose interests are our interests
The machinery all over the mill is O
the most improved pattern, and ~
machine necessary to any part Of tn
work, is wanting. In u word, tn
whole thing is complete, turning OF
daily the heaviest and most durabl
article of all wool james that is han
died by the trade here or elsewhere
Any weight, color, shade or style O
goods desired, can here he made o
short notice in quantities from a sui
to a store house full, and every nee'
of Our people i'll this line of woolel
goods is considered. Our right ham
to Mr.. Rice and success, patronag
and prosperity to his work, bein!
fully persuaded that with every addi
ton of spindles and looms will tn
welfare, comfort and economy of GU
whole people be increased.

Working Mems Union.

Many of the readers of the LEDGER
are aware that there exists in our
city an organisation known as the
Working Mems Union. This socie-
ty was organized about six months
ago, and has already grown to be a
power in our city. We understand
that the object of this organization Is
to promote economy and q high stan
dard of punctuality among tue work
ing men of our place. 1t is strictly
neutral in politics, and especially so
in religion, not allowing any subjects
or questions to come before their
meetings, calculated to mar the peace
and harmony of the body. This So
ciety has its regular weekly meetings
which owen every Saturday even
ing. The most important, and long
to be remembered of these meetings,
was held on the night of the 4th Inst,
when there was a pleasant surprise
to invited guests and friends i'll the
partaking of cake and ice-cold LEM
onade. The hospitality Of the order
was enjoyed by a large number of our
most respectable citizens, who have
not the privilege yet of being mem
bers. Everybody, his wife, babe and
dogs were present on the OCCASION,
and all enjoyed themselves vastly.
Mr.. Il. B. Buckner was introduced
and delivered a good address, in
which he proved beyond all contro-
versy that he is a working man.
The next speaker was Rev. I. j.
Gooch, whose very appearance indl-
Gated that he is a working man also.
He delivered 4 short and very APP
proprIate address, followed by .Drs.
Rothwell and Patterson, both Of whom
are fine speakers, and still better ac-
tors. They also are working men.
! The occasion was one of enjoyment
and great success to those who gave
it. DO it again. VISITOR.

NO MORE



The announcement that the race OF bald
heads is soon to disappear entirely from the
face of the earth may startie the tlmld, and
CRATE harshly upon the ears of those who
are accustomed to regard the shining pates
of their friends with a sort of sacred reVer-
ence; but no harm is to come to. those I'm
~fortunates, who, like poor Uncle Ned, have
no wool on the top of the head, the place
where the wool ought to grew" They are
not to be extirpated, and not a hair of
their heads is to be injured. Their bald
ness is to be covered over, not by art, but
by a natural growth of hair, stimulated to
development by the application of that
most wonderful discovery, Carboline, u de-
odorized extract of petroleum.. In many
cases it will almost destroy the identity OF
the individual for q time; but the change
will be such q delightful and agreeable one,
that all must eventually rejoice over it.
1t will be very curious. doubtless, to miss
all the baldheads from the churches, the
lecture rooms, the theaters, and other
public assemblies, but the transformation
is bound to come. No matter how smooth
or shining the orb-no matter how barren
it has been-when tickled Ger q few times
with Carboline it is bound to bring forth an
abundant crop, and enable the possessor
of the bare head to shake his locks as
proudly as did ever Samson or Absalom.
