ELLICoTT CITY, Md. s 8, 1884.
Dear SIR :-I nave been sufferer
for II long time with dyspepsia, and
have tried most everything in the
way of medicine, hut nothing gave
me any relief. l procured one bottle
of your "ARoMANNA," and had only
been taking ii about six days when |
began to feel it was doing me good.
| told a number of my neighb0rs
what it had done for me and they
commenced using it, and all agree
with me that it is the only medicine
that will do all that it is recommend
ed to do. One thing about IA Ro-
MAMMA" while it is acting and
cleansing system it does not weak
en-, but builds up, adds new strength
and imparts new vigUr. l do not
think l can say too much in favor OF
it. You are free to use my name in
any way you see best, to proclaim the
merits OF "ARoMANNA." 1t will pay
any sufferer to Try it,

Tine Antony of the Hair.


There is much more in health Of
hair than most people imagine.
Simply speaking, on the one hand,
the hair cannot be in health if the
body be not so; and, on the other
an unhealthy scalp may positively
produce grievouS bodily ailments at
least. | believe so; and l would ad.
duce only one proof of this. Think
you not, then, that if the skin of the
head be not wholesome, and every
duet, whether sebaceous or perspira.
tory, acting well, headaches may oc-
cur, or dull and hot feeling of the
brain? You can conceive this to be
true readily enough. Well, the
brain acts, for good or for evil, COM
stantly upon the stomach and organs
of digestion, and on these latter de-
pends the whole economy of the sys-
tem,and the proper nutrition of bone,
muscle, and nerve as well.
Remember when / say nair do
not mean only the visible portion of
that appendage. but its roots as we'll.
and the glands that lubricate the
whole.
1t would take much more space
than L have at my command at pres
sent to describe the anatomy and
growth of the hair. l may, how
ever, state briefly a few facts con-
cerning il.
l. Each hair, then, grows from the
bottom of minute sac or depression
in the three layers of the skin-a kind
of b0ttle-shaped cavity,
2. Each hair is composed of three
layers, cori esponding to those of the
skin, first an outer. made up of scales
or cells, arranged like the tiles on a
hf use, the free ends being turned to-
ward the point of the hair, so that
the hair is, as all know, more easily
smoothed one way than another.
Secondly, middle layer, called the
cortical portion and this is the chief
substance of the hair, and it is this
which splits in some ailments. Last:
~ and internally is the pith, not
present in all hairs, though it proba.
bly ought to be. This pith consists
simply of rows of large cells that line
the cortical portion.
8. The color of the hair depends
upon pigment which is found in the
middle or c0rtical layer. This pig=
Eient is found both fluid and solid in
sas sas ssl6S aaa th6 i59AaspfiiK 9dd ef9ias
upon the amount of this pigment
more than its actual color.
a. The bottle-shaped depression
from which the hair grows is called
the hairsac. and its depth cores:
ponds with the length of the hair
which is to grow tharefrom some
times, therefore, the sac of a short
hair will be only through the outer
skin layer. while that of long hair
will he quite deep. The axis of each
sac is at an acute angle; thus the hair
is enabled tG lie fiat. If it were D r.
pendicular, the hair would stand up.
That it does so under great fear and
excitement we all know. This is
caused by nervous tightening of the
skin. 1t is costanty seen on the
backs of dogs and cats when they
are enraeed.
5. The natural gloss of the hair de-
pends upon secretion which is
poured into the sac from two little
glands called sebace0us. which secrete
an oily juice. Washing the hair
with hard alkaline soap entirely de.
stroys this secretion and cannot but
injure The hair Cdsselts 1agaziae,

This institution Of learning is the
pride of Mexico and Audrain county
Every mother, indeed every citizen
in the land, owes a debt of lasting
gratitude to ex-Gov. C. H. Hardin
for his devotion to female education,
ane for the splendid institution of
learning founded and endowed by
him in the beautiful city of Mexico,
Mo. The college grounds, ten acres
in area, covered with shade trees and
evergreens, are in the most elevat-
ed part Of the city, and command a
charming view of the beautiful sur
rounding country. The college build
ing is O handsome structure of solid
masonry. As a specimen Of splendid
architecture, built with special re-
ference to the safety, comfort and
convenience Of a college home, it
stands without a rival. The entire
building is newly and elegantly fur
nished in a style rarely seen in board
ing schools. The handsome art

years crowned with success. His
scholarship, his high. moral and chris
tian character, his eminent success
IS an educator, have the emphatic
endorsement of the University of
Virginia, the University of Alabama,
Richmond College, Va, Howard
College, Ala, and of leading educa-
tors and public men in almost every
Southern State. His faculty, chosen
with scrupulous care, are all ex-
perienced educators, whose scholar
ship is endorsed by the best schools
in America and Europe. The splen-
did endowment, the munlficent gift
of Ex-Governor Hardin to the women
of Missouri, is a safe guarantee that
the advantages shall be not only of
the highest character, but of per-
manent duration. We most heartily
commend this excellent college to
parents who are seeking the solid
advantages of thorough training for
their daughters.

journalistic Personalities.
BY W. D.. CRANDALL, BROOEFIELD GAZETTE.

BYw. D. CRANDALL, BRooKFIELD GAZETTE.
This is a ticklish subject and its
consideration is fraught with no
slight danger. To attempt its eluci-
dation is a little like attempting the
repairs of an old gun. 1t may he
somewhat interesting, and even COM
zeal, to see the thing come to pieces,
like the skeleton in the museum, but
it may he well enough for all to re-
member that sometimes there is q
part of the old thing that is loaded.
The best / can promise is to keep
the muzzle pointing upwards, in
which direction so few editors are
going that the probabilities of injury
will be very slight.
It may seem incredible to you, but
when this subject was assigned to
me l couldn't see much in it nor
where to begin talking about it. I've
since changed my mind. see mil
lions in it now and have no idea
where to stop talking about it. Don't
know as ] shall be able to stop unless
an alarm of fire be sounded to break
the spell by which my audience is
held.
But TO the subiect-''Journalistic
Personalities" Now, to begin, we
must define the terms in which the
subject i; stated. The simplest way
to do this is to ash two questions :
Vino are journalists? and What are
Possibilities? and then we shall be
prepared; when these questions are
correctly answered, to understand
our subject better and possibly arrive
at some satisfactory conclusions BY
which we shall insist that ell the fra
tarmty-excepting ourselves, per
haps-shall be held and firmly bound
;, First, then, Who are journalists
As ell good editors do, we fly to
Webster. Webster says, in sub
stance, that a journalist-piease mari
the definition closely--is one who by
his writing or management, or both
conducts, or assists In conducting,
> periodical publication devoted il
whole or in part to the recording o
passing events.
Had Mr.. Webster consulted IA
about that definition we should ha7,

musical instruments, the excellent
scientific apparatus, with the college
library for the use of pupils, afford
facilities rarely found in female col
leges.
The new management, by faithful,
solid work in the school room, and by
throwing the strongest safeguards
around every interest of the pupils,
have met the full measure of public
expectation, and have proved them
selves, in every way, worthy Of the
highest confidence.
The 18th year is now about to close
under the most favorable auspices.
While most of the colleges in the
state have lost ground, the patronage
of Hardin is 20 per cent. greater
than last year. Many applications
have already been made for the next
year, and the outlook is. in the high
est degree, encouraging.

dent, is a Virginian, educated at the
University of Virginia. He brings

American Enterprise.

No invention of the nineteenth cen- tury has worked greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of benefit on humanity than the sew ing machine.
 The first productions were crude and uncouth in the extreme, and it was re- served for American skill and ingenuity to bring forth a machine of any practi- cal value.
 In older to appreciate the great ad- vancement which has taken place it is only necessary to compare one Of tie machines built during the infancy of the invention with one of the latest improved Light Running New Io,nc."
The St. Johns herald., 1886-11-11

Quite a serious shooting affray took place at the Cienega Maria, about 20 miles southeast of Springerville, on last Saturday, at noon. The facts; as yet, have been very meagrely reported, but it seems that Ike Ellinger claims fo have had ranch jumped by man named Craig recently. It appears that Lee Renfro had learned that Ellinger had connected his name in a disparaging manner with the transaction. On the day above stated Ellinger and Renfro were both at the ranch of Phin Clanton, and the subject was brought up, when Renfro, after using insulting epithets, succeeded Tn getting a pistol, and be- fore the bystanders could prevent him, shot Ellinger through the breast and lungs. Renfro mounted his horse soon after the occurrence and made of, since which time his whereabouts have been unknown. IF. Dalby was sent for Sun- day night and immediately left for the scene of the shooting. At last accounts the wounded man was doing as we'll as could be expected. and it is hoped and believed the shot will not necessarily prove fatal
The St. Johns herald., 1886-11-11

The stock interest of the county, will We trust, receive an impetus in the near future. A general confidence in the economical administration of county af- fairs, assurance of the laws being exc cuted, protection of person and proper ty, and the honest efficiency of officials will he certain 10 stimulate the invest ment of capital and develop the spirit of enterprise. The general outlook for increase in demand and price for cattle is regarded as fattering; wool quota tions are becoming stiffer, and all we need to fill the measure of the good time coming is a substantial and thrifty in crease of population.
The St. Johns herald., 1886-11-11

The two accld ents at Iiolorook last week, should be warning and example to those who find amusement in the in- discriminate shooting of pistols in towns and places where people are congre- gated or moving about. It is danger ous and foolish amusement, and risks the lives of innocent persons, with no profit or pleasure save the sport of lis tening to the deafening report of fire arms. We may admit that no harm is intended, but there are so many other ways of amusement which do not en- danger others, that this too common practice might well be dispensed with, and no one be the loser. Have q good old fashioned time, if you want to boys, but lay aside your pistols for your own sakes as we'll as that of others.
