AYERS
Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth,
faded or gray hair to natural, rich brown color,
or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light
or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened,
and badness often, though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimulates q
weak and sickly growth to vigor. Itpreyents and
cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every
disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladies' Hair
Dressing, the VIGoR is unequalled; it contains
neither oil nor dye renders the hair soft, glossy
and silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfumes

The VIGOR is also sure cure for dandruh. Not

Mr.. ANGUS FAIRBAIRS, leader Of the cels-
brated Fairbairn Family {" of Scottish Vocalists,
writes from Boston, Mdss., Feb. 6, 1880: Ever
since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the
change which feeting time procureth, 1 have used
AYERS HAIR VIGoR, and 50 have been able to
maintain an appearance of youthfulness "a mat
ter of considerable consequence to ministers,
orators actors, and in fact every one who lives in
the eyes of the public"
Mrs. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm. ST.,
Chdrlestopn, Mass, april II, 1882, says: Two
years ago about tvo-thirds Of my hair came OFF.
1t thinned very rapidly, and 1 was fast growing
bald. On using AYERS HAIR VIGoR the falling
stopped and new growth commenced, and in
about month my head was completely covered
with short hair. 1t has continued to grow, and is
now as good as before it fell Iregularly used but
one bottle of the VIGoR, but now use it occasion

efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t needs but a
trial to convince the most skepticsl of its value.

On Monday and Tuesday, the LIST
and I'd of October, the officers of Reg
lstration. in their respective districts
of this county, will sit for the correc-
ton and completion of the Registry
list. This is very important mat
ter and should be attended to. The
Offices are held in public and the
books are open during the sitting of
the Register, to inspection, and we
trust our Republican friends through
out the county will avail of the OPP
portunity thus offered to have the list
as correct and complete as possible by
the addition thereto of every Repub-
lican who will be entitled to a vote
at the coming election. The names
of those who were registered last
month have been published in hand
Dill form. Examine these bills scan
them carefully and see if there is any
registered who should be omitted.
This is of much Importance and
should not be neglected. Make a
memorandum of all the names that
have been left off in order that you
will be enabled to give the officers of
registration the necessary informa-
ton. Also make list of all who have
come of age since last year, and those
who haye removed from one district
into another since the registration last
fall, and see to it that the former are
all registered and the latter furnished
with transfers, Weshould have every
voter registered and then make it a
point to see that every one votes.

An AvariciOus Age.

A great many people call the pres
ent age an avaricious one. The Amer
lean, as rule, thinks of the almighty
dollar in all his transactions, whether
in the pursuit of wealth. health or
pleasure. The general tendency of
our race is toward excess, and this
should be carefully guarded against.
The love of money is generally credi-
ted with being the root of all evil,
but all people seem to be after plenty
of the root. 1t cannot be told from
the phraseology of the following
