HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted TO
cure diseases Of the scalp. and the first sue
cessful rcstorer Of faded or gray hair TO its
natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty.
1t has had many initators, but none have 50
fully met all the requirements nccdful for
the proper treatment Of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter Of the globe. Its unparal-
lelcd success can be attributed to but one
cause: tie entire tHlGiment 81 is promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at the receipt Of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an etTOrtfOr
its Introduction.
The use for II short time of HALLS HAIR
RESEwER wonderfully improves the per-
sonal appearance. II c~leanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward a new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepare
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
its use a matter Of conOmy.

OUR TRIP TO THE INTERIOR.
A Visit to Lafayette and Other
Points Of Interest.

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES representa-
tive left the city Tuesday morning
via the Horseback Route, for a trip
to the interior of Christian county.
The reporter being almost stranger
in strange land felt the pangs of
solitude while vending his lonely
way along the road, but this bad feel
ing was soon dispelled on arriving at
the thriving village of Benncttstown
where he was met by the citizens and
entertained in magnificent style.
This village is prospecting and the
people all wore a smile, childlike and
bland, over the prospect Of good
crop this season. The reporter wcnd-
ing his way onward, passes through
Mason's Mill and finds the people all
busy as bees. Thence he pursues his
course and arrives at the nourishing
town of Lafayette and is, by her
prosperous and generous citizens,
met with open arms and given the
freedom of the city, as ii were.
Here he found the citizens and mer-
chants all'on the "gO," simply from
the fact that they are firm believers
in good display Of printers irk,and
knowing the Kentuckian to be the
best medium in the county to display
their wares responded Noblc-y.AlI in
all Lafayette IS live town and her
people are cntcrprislng and gen.
erous 10 a fault. Passing your scribe
soon leaves the town in the dim dis
lance. And a littR faith + on the vii
lage Of Beverly looms up, as it were.
Here the people were almost too busy
to talk, but knowing the Kentuckian
TO be their friend they all smiled and
reported everything in good shape
in the ncighborhOod. Once more the
scribe drives the relcntness spurs into
ItAs chargers sides and speeds to
the village of Organettc, where he
finds all in good hunor and all stated
to the scribe that they would have
Goodies" of "Tobacker' this year.
After leaving here the scribe fell in
with our next sheriff. John Boyd, and
like Dante said to Virgil, "IIere
John, appoint you my guide and
master for the balance Of this trip"
John accepted the Office with smile
and landed the care and horscworn
scribe safely in the Office, after a
hard journey of forty eight hours,
badly shaken up. WING.

Prof. Jas. E. Soobey.

Prof. Jas. T., Scoboy, late of Muir
frecsboro, Tenn, has boon elected TO
lIl tho chair OF Philosophy, Logic
and English Literature, in South
Kentucky College. lie will also be
ice-Prcsident and have charge of
the boarding department. Maj.
Crumbaugh and the Board of Trus-
toes arc TO be congratulated upon so
valuable an acquisition to the facul-
ly. The following reference is from
the Murfrccsboro News;
Thursday morning, after confer.
ring the degrees upon the graduates
of HAYNES Institute, Prof. Scobcy
rendered to the trustees his resigna-
ton as Principal of that school. lie
made short address bidding fare
wollto his trustees, teachers and put
pills. lie will take charge of school
at IIopkinsvillc, Ky, next Septcm-
Der. In losing Prof. Scobcy, Muir
freesboro loses One of the best educa
tors of little girls and young ladies
IN this country. For thirteen years
he has had charge Of his school here
and, as a principal or as teacher,
this people, with one accord, pro-
nounce him success. Wherever he
may go in after life, he may be sure
that lie carries with him the very
best wishes OF us all. And ne has
made himself popular not only as
school teacher, but as man, as
Christian and as preacher. His
life, It seems to the writer, has been
az pure and as Christian as mans
life could have been. The esteem in
whiei, he is held here could not be
better evidenced tlian by the tears
shed and the sorrow expressed when
he made his farewell address yestel-
day. That he may be abundantly
blessed in all his future life, is the
earnest prayer of many a father and
mother in the county.

date for the Third district.
Only Is votes were cast in an cleo
ton for town trustees, at Stanford,

One Of the pleasing features of tic
coming Louisville Exposition is tho
fact that almost every county in the
State will be properly represented.
Heretofore this has moi been the case,
AMI as ar salt the vast mineral, tim
Der and agricultural resources OF
Kentucky have been butlittle known
when compared with Tennessee and

on the part of the State will be one
in the right direction, and will swell
