One of the most enjoyable occas-
ions Of the Christmas season was a
family reunion at the home of Mr.
Jas. A. Davis of North High Street
where was held one continuous recep-
tion from early morning till late at
night. The tonse was beautifully
decorated with pine I'D holly. Tru-
ly it was day that will long live in
the memory of those present. Those
from distance were Mrs. Philip H.
Strauss, and Master Carroll, of Toledo,
Ohio; also Capt. and Mrs. E. It. G.
Richmond of Fort Warren, Mass. who
were home to celebrate the twentieth
anniversary of their marriage.
One of the features of the day was
a tree made beautiful with tinsel and
many colored balls and candles.
There were presents for all; Those
that could not be hung on the tree
were arranged around its base on the
floor and on table near by. Master
Carroll distributed the presents and
entertained the little folks with pref
ty speeches and drilling with his new
gun. There was a Santa Claus and
all that goes to make Christmas what
it should be for the little ones.

Glass Broken.

A few nights ago some one threw a
bomb out into the street in front of
Waters d Whittington's shoe store
and the explosion which followed
shattered lot of glass in the vicin-
ity. The glass in one of the doors
to the store was blown to pieces
Another large piece was broken up
stairs in Mrs. Woods front door and
a large plate glass in Major Keen
ers meat market was cracked badly
running it entirely.
The damaged parties have very
good idea of the identity of TIE mis-
creant who threw the bomb and will
likely prosecute him to the fullest
extent of the law. Such conduct is
not fun by long shot and an ex-
ample should be made of the man
who did it.

Wallace House improvements.

The Improvements which are to be
made at the Wallace house have be-
gun. New wall paper is being put on
the walls in the front hall. The cleo
trio lights in the dining room have
been replaced by very fine chande-
Tiers. The chandeliers have places for
both electric and gas lights which
is better than the old way of having
single lights hanging in the various
parts of the room. Electric lights are
being placed in number of the rooms
where they had not been heretofore
and the whole house will be lighted by
this means. These are the forerun-
ners of the extensive Improvements
which will be made in the house under
the management of John Lantz.

How to Receive Him.

A young man with satchel,
bland smile and very plausible story
Is working around this way, and as
he is liable to drop in on ore at any
moment, it would be well to be pre-
pared for him. He will offer you
patent hair restorer and daudruff
eradicator, acd his recital of its
wonderful efficacy is decidedly more
refreshing than the stuff itself, the
principal virtue of which lies in the
fact that it acts like mild scalping
knife. You will save trouble and
considerable hair by turning the dog
on him. If you haven't dog, sub
stitute club or any other old thing
you can get hold of.

Regents Don't want to Pay for Their
Fun.

w. w. Hayes has won his suit
against the Board of Regents for
carriage hire. He was engaged dur
ing last Commencement to do all
that sort of work for the board and
when he presented his bill which was
for four dollars per day for each car
riage used during that time, the
board refused to pay the bill as they
claimed it was excessive. They al
lowed him $50 instead of the $120
which was asked. Hayes refused to
accept the sum offered and brought
suit to recover the bill. Judgment
for the amount was given and the
costs were placed on the board. An
appeal We ken to the circuit court
where the case will be tried the
next term.

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
