To Make Hair Grow

To stop the hair from falling
out, first of all, you must cure
your scalp. Nothing in the world
will make hair grow except a
clean, healthy scalp.

is not an ordinary hair tonic, but
it is the most effective skin and
scalp cure known. It will pene-
trate the skin and scalp, and it
contains the proper ingredients to
kill any disease germ, which is
the cause of it all. 1t is not greasy
nor sticky, and will positively
cure after everything else has
failed, or your money back.

the engrossing topic of conversation on
the streets since the affair occurred. All
the parties were well known in their
community, as well as in Wilson Mr..
Harrison was fifty-fve years of age and
his slayers are young men between twenty
and twenty-five years.
The trouble began four or FIVE years
ago when there was a difficulty between
Harrison and the Stancil boys father, in
which the latter was very badly cut by
Harrison. Bad blood has existed between
the two families ever since. and on Sun
day night when the Stancil boys accom-
panied by a constable, went to Harrison's
place to arrest a man named Taylor,
who, two weeks ago cut one of the young
er Stancils. Harrison was there and is
aid to have resented the intrusion and
took a gun down from tire rack and
.tarted out.
The Stancil boys, upon his appearance,
)pened fire on him. Sam with rifle and
Richard with a shot gun. The gun shot
wound proved fatal. 1t is understood a
lea of self-defense will be put up by the
5tancils.
Much regret is expressed over the affair
md the feeling is said to be very strong
yer the matter IN the county
When Deputy Sheriff John Dildey went
make the arrest he was told by the
risoners that they would have come to
he city early Monday morning and sur
endered themselves, but for the fact that
hey feared they would encounter trouble
