Hair Remover.

Seldom does popular remedy win such
strong hold upon the public confidence as has
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER. The cases in which
it has accomplished a complete restoration Of
color to the hair, and vigorous health to the
scalp, are innumerable.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people like it
because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandrutf away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it
as dressing because it gives the hair a beau
tiful glossy lustro, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the
favorite of all, and it has become so simply
because it djsappoints no one.

SHERMAN, Nov. 20 Special. There
was considerable excitement in town
this morning, caused by the arrival Of a
brother of one of the Aikens who was
killed by HE police last Friday evening.
The report soon spread that large
number Of hi- friends and ucighbOrs
were also i'm town. The last rumOr
gained credence from the fact that
a number Of half and full
blood Indians from the neighhorhood
I Tishimingo were Ia town. Their
business was, however, in no way con-
nscled with tho Aikens, rs they came
here, for the pm pose of signing and
acknowledging leases to mining com
pauicS TO take out coal at or near Tishi-
miugo. AikcnS sole business WAS to
procure counsel Tor his brother-in-law.
