A Testimonial Worth Having.

: An inventor, having produced a won
derful hair invigorating fluid, sent n
case of bottles to n bald editor, with a
request for q testimonial. He got 1t in
these terms:
"a little applied to the inkstand has
given it a coat of bristles, making a
splendid pcnwiper at n small cost. We
applied the lather to n twopenny nail,
and the nail Is now the handsomest
shaving brush you ever saw, with
beautiful, soft hair growing from the
end Of 1t some five or six inches in
length.
applied to doorsteps, 1t does away
with the use Of a mat; applied to the
floor, it will cause to grow therefrom
hair sufficient for a brussels carpet. A
little weak lather sprinllled over a shed
makes 1t impervious to the wind, rain
or cold. 1t Is good to put inside chill
dren's cradles, sprinkle on the road

is wanted for s or ornament. 1t pro-

In every community there are persons
who cannot read or that do not take q
newspaper. Those more fortunate may
do such persons a great favor by telling
them of the time to make returns or by
returning for them.
The assessing and collecting taxes is
done ID the anne year, and We have to
aggregate the number and value Of all
horses, mules, cattle and other pieces of
personal property as we'll as the acres of
land, lots and buildings and their value
that there are in this county, and have
the same on file in the Comptroller Gen

of October the Auditors and Treasurer's

show at a glance that the Auditor has no
time to take returns, OF anything else

We hope, therefore, that all taxpayers
will make their returns in time.

Africans Wash, but Never Wine

Great attention is given in most Of
the African tribes to the care of the
body. The teeth are cleansed with
a stick which has been chewed into
a kind of brush. The hands are
washed frequently, not by turning end
twisting and rubbing them together
one within the other, as with us, but
by n straight up and down rubbing,
such as is given to the other limbs.
This manner Of washing is SO charac-
teristic that an African might be dis.
tinguished by it from a European with
out reference to the color. The sun ID
