not a dye; good for the scalp; pre-
vents falling out.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1883-09-05

We are in receipt Of a copy Of
the Daily Telegraph, published at
Monroe, La. by Geo. W. McCranie,
who, by the way, is one of the best
newspaper men in rural Louisiana.
Though rather diminutive in size,
{being only four pages of three ~
inch columns each, it is very neat,
and presents withal, what would be
called in newspaper parlance, good
make up. We trust that Bro. Mes
daily will constantly increase in size
and circulation and be the source OF
a good revenue for it's proprietor.
