The CLARION is in the most pros

The CLARION is in the most pros
porous condition now that it has
ever enjoyed. Old subscribers are
paying up and renewing every day,
and new subscribers are daily avail
ing themselves Of our liberal offers.
We keenly appreciate this kind
manifestation Of popular favor. No
country editor is ever financially
rewarded in proportion to the labor
he performs {; but when he sees and
knows that the majority of the peo-
pie are lending a hand Of approval
to his efforts, his labors are light
ened and rendered pleasant. The
good people of Morehouse are daily
giving us encouragement and it is
a delightful task for us to exert
ourself to furnish them live and
newsv paper. We believe, and
they say we are, doing that very
thing, the CT. ITO the contrary
Notwithstanding,
| We would advise those OF our
friends who contemplate sending
an order for groceries to New Or
leans. to first call at Schuster 4
Silbernagel's and get their prices
They say, not that they care SC
much to fill your order, but would
like to show you how their prices
would compare with those you pay
abroad, added to which is the an
noyance and expense of shipping
goods. We hear many persons who
! had their orders ready to send off
found it more profitable to have
the same filled at the above house

Ayers
Hair VG!g0,',
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND coLGs..

IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for
preserving the hair. 1t restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded
or gray, light, and red hair, to Il Iieh
brown, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use thin hair is thickened, ans!
badness often though not always cured.
1t checks falling of the hair iinmedi-
ately, and causes a new growth i'll all
cases where the glands are not decaycd;
while to brashy, weak, or otherwise
diseased hair, it imparts vitality and
strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGoR clcanses the scalp, cures
and prevents the formation of dandr"if;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases
of the scalp and hair are impossible.
AS a Dressing for Ladies Hair
The V1GoR is incompatible. 1t is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil white cambria. 1t imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article for the toilet it is economi-
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
