The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in
creasing and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they are constantly in
need of. That this is self-evidcnt may be inferred
from the fact that large country cdition-equal-
" ~ large as the daly-is sent ont all over this
section Of country three times a week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
Of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can be made salts
factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE are thus apparent, and need no further
demonstration.

Flight. Reconciliation and an Inl-

Atlanta Ga. Special to the N Y World December 5th
The home of Miss Alice E. Coggins, a beauti-
full blackeyed, black haired girl of fifteen. is in
Pike county. Her parents are in easy circum-
stances. Near the Coggins homestead young
Joshua T. Martin resided. He, too. is planter.
and from his boyhood up has been an associate
of Miss Coggins. A strong friendship existed
between the families. and when Mr.. Martin be-
gan paying attention to Miss Coggins congratu-
latOns were showered upon them. AS the
young lady grew more beautiful each day Mr..
Martin grew proud of the jewel he had won.
On Sunday afternoon last when Mr.. Martin was
at Miss COggins' house. they became angry. and
a few warm words were spoken by each Finally
Mr.. Martin said:
Alice, can never marry you, for we cannot
be happy together"
''Al right" said the young lady. az have only
to thank you for releasing me from an engage
ment which has begun to grow tiresome." Mr..
Martin took his departure Soon after another
young gentleman drove up and asked Miss Cog
gins to take drive with him The young lady.
thinking that She might make Mr.. Martin feel
bad, consented. Her wish was gratitied when
the buggy passed Martin, who was himself driv-
ing Mr. Martin. hoping to nflict wound like
that he had received, sought lady friend and
with her drove around to Miss Coggns'. This
was more than the young lady could bear. Early
Monday morning Miss Coggins lett her home
and came to Atlanta. having but one object. to
wound Martins feelings. Upon reaching At
lanta she went to private boarding-house. Mr..
Martin by the next train came to Atlanta and
searched for the lady. He called upon Chief
Connolly and told his story. About noon they
found the lady. The meeting between the two
was quite affecting. After short talk between
themselves, Mr.. Martin turned to Chief Connolly
and said:
'.Send for a preacher Have him meet US at
the ordinary's Office and we won't have any
more trouble" Rev. DR.. Armstrong met them
at O'Clock and they were married. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin left for GAINESVILLE ON the afternoon

ABOUT THE HAIR.
How to Dress it and How to Care for
Invaluable Hints.

From the English Hair dresser
To have beautiful hair and keep it In health
requires as much care as the teeth, nails or face
So many twist the hair up in some becoming
fashion the year around, and wonder that it gets
streaked. thin In spots. and seems harsh and
dry. The hair should be loosened every night
before retiring, combed free from all tangles
with bone comb rubber combs having done
much to split and break the hair-nearly all
have too much electricity to use RUBBER; then
use stiff brush for long time, brushing from
the top to the very ends.
1t Is well for the lady who has maid for it is
Impossible to properly brush ones hair if very
long. Then braid and fasten the ends with soft
silk braid for the night.
The scalp should be kept clean and healthy;
wash occasionally, and have it thoroughly sham
pooed two or three times year as well.
To wash, braid the hair loosely in several
0raids take raw egg and rub thoroughly into
the scalp Git beaten first it rubs In better), then
rinse in cold water with little ammonia in
corporated In 1t, wiring the braids in coarse
towel, sit BY fire or In the sun until dry, then
comb out the braids. The braiding prevents
much snarling. Where ones hair is thin
quinine lotion will prevent its falling out and
give life to the roots. The Partisan fashions for
dressing childrens hair are as follows: Ringlets
are most favored for babies Little boys have
curls in the back and bangs in front.
Little girls have their hair waved and falling
down the back. with colored ribbon to keep it
in place. Some young girls have revived the
fashion OF light hair nets with large meshes, in
which the hair falls loose and as low down as the
middle OF the back. This style shows the hair to
great advantage. and will probably meet with
general approval. From 16 to II years of age
the hair is worn high and twisted on the top Of
the head. With this method of arranging the
hair round hats have no elastics, SO as not to
conceal any part of the pretty waves which the
hair forms when thus raised from the nape Of
the neck. The hat ia fastened to the hair by q
steel pin with shell or let head

The Disappearance in 1851 of George
Bambcr Liheiy to- be Explained.

On April .. 1881, George Bamber son Of Dr.
Bamber. Of Two Bridges, n. Y. left home to 60
to Albion. where he was to take train for the
west. He was seen In the evening in saloon
He had been throwing dice with a number of
rough characters, with two of whom he had a
violent quarrel When he left the saloon he had
between $50 and 800 in his possession. He did
not take the train that night, and has never been
heard from or seen since The saloon where
young Bamber was last seen was near the canal
A Mrs. Fitch keeps grocery in the neighbor-
hood She has In her employ girl named Mary
Dumphney. The girl has frequently told
Mrs. Fitch that she had something
on her mind that she wished to tell.
but she could not be induced to tell
it until Monday last. She then confided to Mrs
Fitch that on the night young Bamber disappear
ed she surprised two men in a field OH the north
side OF canal carrying something between them
in sheet or blanket. When they saw her they
seized her and told her they had the body of a
calf which they intended to bury there and
that if she should ever tell Of it they would
know it and surely kill her. They then dug q
pit and buried what Chey had carried to the
spot. and she ran away. The girl says she has
been haunted with the thought of what she wit
messed ever since but was afraid to reveal it,
She SAYS she could not recognize the men. 1t
is said that this statement, if verified, will
strengthen suspicious against parties who have
all along been suspected of knowing the fate Of
the missing man. Detectives are working up
the case
