The whites returned the shots ana the battle was continued for some time.
 When the smoke cleared away it was found that two of the negroes were dead Flowers was found shot through the thigh and N. Landran sustained slight wound in the head The other negroes fled, but two of them were captured and delivered to the sheriff.

Good for the Skin in Cold Weather.

As the cold has frequently the effect of drying up or suppressing the natural oil- mess of the skin, 1t becomes expedient in winter to provide the complexion at least once a week with little additional oleaginous matter, and for absolute in ocuousness pure olive oil can be recom- mended for the purpose. A small quan- tity warmed and then gently rubbed into the face at nighttime before washing with hot water would be very advantage ous, while those who are not afraid of stimulating superfluous hairs could leave the small amount of oiliness that would be felt after the oil had been massaged in upon the face until the morning, thus giving it time to feed and nourish the skin. Where there is a tendency to the growth of hair upon the face it Is wiser to wash the oiliness away directly after the massaging. Some beauty doctors put great deal of reliance in the beneficial effects of pure olive oil, and it Is said on good authority that wounded surfaces that have healed, but yet left the flesh rather shrunken. may be built up again by the persistent application of warmed olive oil. Another natural emollient that could be used with good effect in winter is rich cows cream. This may also be gently massaged into the skin.
