IMPORTANT DECIsIoN,-Judge Robt Hughes
the United States District Court,on the 18th,
sent in decision at Richmond in the matter
of certain depositors against the Richmond
Dollar Saving Bank, which went into bank
ruptcy some time ago, in which he declares
that director ola bank is responsible to de-
positors for the safe-keeping and return of
their money, and, acting in a directory capaci-
to, should see that the affairs of the bank are
so conducted as to insure such security to
those who confide their means with them The
amount involved in this case is about $780,
900. A great deal Of interest is felt in this de-
clsion, and it is very probable that the defend
ants will carry the case to the United States
Circuit Court

"Life, Growth, Beauty"

"What we all admire" and how to secure
it: A fine suit of hair in Its natural color is
such an adjunct to beauty that no one who
prizes good looks should neglect to use ''Lon-
don Hair Color estorer," the most Clearly
and delightful article ever introduced to the
American people. 1t is totally different from
all Others not sticky and gummy and free from
all impure ingredients that render many 9TH
hair, restores gray hair, gives new life, keeps
the scalp clean and healthy, causing the hair
to grow where it has fallen off or become thin,
does not soil or stain anything, and is so per-
fectly and elegantly prepared as to make it a
lasting hair dressing and toilet luxury. Lon
don Hair Color estorer is sold by all drug
gists at rs cents bottles, or six bottles

The Tanner mania has cropped out in a new
way. A New Jersey judge tried to bring
jury to terms on yexing case Of incendarism
out after keeping them out nineteen hours
without food or water, he had to give in and
discharge them without securing verdict AS
hard as it is to get along with the traditional
eleven obstinate men, on the average jury,
this method of compulsion by starvation is not
one that commends itself very highly either to
juIymen or others.

Let every colored man pay his poll tax out
of his own pocket, and look to no other
source. This is due to his own manhood, and
to show that hard and unconstitutional law,
designed to take from him the great right of
the elective franchise, will prove Intellectual.
The right to vote is not less important than
the right of freedom and as the colored peo-
pie appreciate the emancipation act let them
see to it that all the privileges growing out of
freedom are exercised. They are not half
citizens until they remove the restriction to
the elective franchise.

A. Word to Our Readers.

When you read of a remedy that will cure
all diseases, beware of it, but when you read
of pure vegetable compound which claims to
cure only certain parts Of the body, and fur
nishes high proof that it does this, you can
safely try it and with the assurance that it will
help you This is just what Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure does. 1t cures all
troubles of the lower portion of the body and
none others. 1t will not help the toothache,
ear-ache nor consumption but it will put your
body in a vigorous and healthy state where
you can enjoy life and appreciate its good
things. Try it.
My life was saved by Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure-E B, La1ely, Selma 4ta.
