We call the attention of ou

We call the attention of our
readers, more especially our subscrl-
bers, to the new advertisements OF
J. w. Grady and Bros. and M. Z.
Bristow, dealers in lumber, and the
neat double-column card of Messrs.
Spurlock and Coger our live family
grocery men, which appears on the
fourth page. All of these gentle
men are economizing, far-seelng
business men, and merit the unstint-
ed patronage of the public. They
are not afraid the printer will get
more out of a standing advertise
ment than they will. They know
that a man has something more to DC
in this age of push and vim than to
merely open his doors at sun up and
close them at sundown. They don't
expect the American eagle with coins
on his back to actually fog their sew
eral stands because "every body in
the country knows we are here. "
They acknowledge the fact that they
are dependent on the people for pat
ronaee and show in black and white
that they will appreciate that patron
age by keeping standing invitation
in the RECORD for customers to
come and trade with them.

The residence of Rev. j. l..
Short of Richwoods township, was
burned last Saturday night. The
flames were first seen just as they
begun to enter the room where the
family slept, a moment later would
have been too late for escape. The
bedding on which they laid was all
that was saved. The old gentleman,
his wife and four children were fore.
ed out on the snow, barefoot and
with but their night clothes on, to
look back and see their home and
contents reduced to ashes. Neigh
bors soon came to their relief and
their wants were satisfied. A sub
scription paper was circulated on
Monday, and on Tuesday four or five
wagons passed through Evening
Shade en- route to Medley's mills for
lumber to rebuild that home so
quickly made desolate by that most
alarming element. Did the money
accompany that lumber order? may
be asked. 1t makes no difference.
They got the lumber. Good citizens
on mission of mercy in Arkansas
don't need money. John Medley
has furnished lumber for dozens OF
poor mems homes in Sharp county,
and our other saw-mill men will do
the same. True manhood, good
citizenship, friend to the needy
and distressed are all at par in any
and every neighborhood, and beat

CAUSES OF BADNESS.
A Prominent Physician Chats Pleasantly
About Bald Headed Men.


Doctor, what is your opinion of the
theory that the coming man (ot the
twenty-ffth century for instance) will
be entirely bald?' asked reporter OF
q physician whose name is famous IN
two continents.
alt is sheer nonsense. That bald
ness is more prevalent than it was q
generation or two ago is doubtless
true, but the fact is owing to neglect
of, and disregard for, natural laws
that can not he evaded with IMMUNITY
with regard to- the hair any more than
when the stomach or the liver are con-
cerned. Men who take plenty of exer-
else, live regularly and wear proper
covering on their heads will not be
troubled with badness to any greater
extent than were their father anu
grandfathers. y
"What do you regard as the chief
cause of the prevalence of bald-headed
men?n
Experience and observation have
led me to the firm belief that in ma
jority of cases badness is due to the
style of hats that have been in vogue
for a generation or more, Nine men
out of ten in professional circles wear
either the high silk hat or the hard felt
hat commonly known as the Derby.
The hair bulbs of the scalp are nour-
ished by the blood which is supplied
by arteries on the front, back and rear
of the head. These arteries divide into
branches as they extend toward the
top of the head so that nourishment is
carried to all parts of the scalp.
"Now, if you shut off to any great
extent the supply of blood which these
conduits are meant to carry to all por-
tons of the scalp for the nourishment
of the scalp, the inevitable result will be
the destruction of the hair follicles and
bulbs, and the consequent loss of the.
hair from lack of something to feed
upon. This is just the effect produced
by the hats to which | have referred,
or by any other form of head covering
which constructs the arteries and veins
by which the blood is conducted to and
returned from the scalp. That such
compression is almost inevitable is
plain. They lie upon the hard surface
of the skull, protected only by thin
tissue, and when close-ftting, I'M
yielding and heavy hat is placed upon
the head it acts like tourniquet, and
in great measure retards the natural
action of the blood, which is so neces-
sary to the healthfulness of any portion
of the system.
THAT this is the great cause of the
common form of badness is also shown
by the fact that mechanics. laborers
and the like. who ordinarily wear
loose-ftting, well-ventilated headgear.
are not more prone to badness than
their predecessors of half century
ago."-M y Mail and Express.
