NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
II Is a most agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre-
serving the hair. 1t restores. with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. BY its use thin
hair is thickened, and badness often
though not always cured. 1t checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
&c; decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
aid strength, and renders it pliabe.
Tho VIeoR eleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation OF dandruff; 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 7IeoR is incompatible. It is color
l"=s. contains neither oil nor dye, and will
no: soil white cambria. 1t imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
| article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

Eli Perkins on Atlanta.l
Atlanta we found to be the growing
metropolis of the South. She is a
central railroad point. Her people are
cosmopolite, and everyone is too busy
to talk politics or dig up the hates,
prejudices and misfortunes of the war.
The Exposition just ended has pushed
the city ahead twenty years. Our
Philadelphia Exposition showed the
North ahead fifteen years in art, deco
ration, pottery, furniture, wall paper,
glove-making and house architecture.
The Atlanta Exposition has pushed
the South along in machinery and all
the mechanic arts twenty years. AL
ready they tell me thirty-four new
manufactures have come to Atlanta
through tho secret influences of the
Exposition. The three great railroad
systems of che South center in Atlanta.
the Louisville & Nashville and Gin
cinnati Southern, the Piedmont Air
Line running Pullman cars from New
York and the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia & Georgia, which runs down to
Brunswick, Fernandina and Savannah.
Atlanta is the Gate City of the South.
Everything has to pour through it.
1t is the Chicago of the South. At
lanta is high up, and the winter eli
mate is raw and cold. The Florida
wave does not reach Atlanta. 1t bare
ly reaches Macon. Fires are needed
as much in Macon and Atlanta as in
New York. One reason for this is
because the houses are built for sum.
mer and not for winter.
