heavy and full of natural qualities. will
be compelled to wash her hair every

for her. Her hair is too oily to be let

But she has her compensations She
does not grow gray as early as her
sisters with the dry locks and her hair
Is thicker. If it gets very oily be-
fore the month is UP she can scatter

Indeed, this is always d good thing for
her to do But It should be done by

LETTERS TO EDITOR.
Mail Bags Thrown Under Wheels.

| To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The messenger on No. Southbound
! mail train on the Alabama Great Southern
railroad threw the mail bag under the
wheels yesterday morning, and tore the
| mail into atoms. This has become a very
frequent thing of late and the people are
becoming tired of having their mail thus
wantonly destroyed. Doubtless the partic-
uar messengers who have lately become
accustomed to throwing our mail bags
under the Unsuitable wheel OF the car, do
it for the edification of our villagers. and
to show them how confetti Is made. But
they should not persistently be unmindful
of the fact that the aforesaid mail bags
often contain besides letters, daily and
weekly papers, valuable articles of mer-
chandse, drugs and other vain things of
a perishable nature that people set some
store by.
The first time | saw the messenger cast
our mail sack under the wheels of his

zling clouds. | had 81 worth of medicine
In that self-same bag, while one of my
boys had about s. worth of inner bicycle
tubes, and other parties had other val
ued articles of merchandise and virtue.
Immediately after the mail bag struck the
rail there seemed to be an explosion of
some dead white substances, which yet
almost darkened the air and obscured the
sun. But as the juggernau wheel of the
succeeding cars continued to mercilessly
grind down into the drugs. merchandise.
etc, and bring up their crushed rem
nants in inflntesimal particles the color

that we were witnessing some fine, unsur-
passed dramatic display. SO | can hardly

CULLMAN ACREAGE
IS NOT DECREASED
Birmingham Is This Season the Fa-
vorite Market for Shipment of
Cullman Strawberries.

Culman. May 5.-(Special)-Th cotton
acreage of this county will, on an aver
age about equal that of last season. This
fact was aseertained through several of
our leading supply merchants. and drawn
from an estimate on the amount of fer
tizer sold this season But cotton is
not king in this county; therefore the
county is, and has ever been. out of debt
and script is worth one hundred cents on
the dollar.
The town has been flooded the past
week with strawberry buyers from vari-
Gus northern and southern markets. some
coming from as far north as Detroit,
while others are here from Montgomery.
Mobile and Birmingham. The latter seems
to be the favorite market for the growers
consequence of which most of the ber-
res are consigned to dealers of that
city. We are informed, however. by sew
eral of the buyers that the Culman berry
Is a universal favorite on the market
and that there is growing demand for

Several Military Men of Alabama to
Attend Government Schools.

Montgomery. May 5.-(Special.) -Gover-
nor Jelks has received from the Secre-
tary of War notice that he may assign
such of the officers of the Alabama Nat
ional Guard as desire to go, to the mill
tary school maintained by the govern
ment for the instruction of officers.
These are located at Washington, Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Monroe and at
the several garrisons maintained by the
nation The applications must be In by
June 1. and the school work begins Oc-
tober /.
Each officer so assigned will have the
same travel and other allowance as the
regular army man, with ST. per day for
subsistence while at the school. The Dick
law provides for this and it is regarded
as one of the most important things for
the betterment of the National Guard ever
brought up.
While it is not yet known who will go
from Alabama, Capt. d. w McIver of the
Adjutant Generals office, has had as
surances from several Alabama officers
that they intend to go, and it looks as IL
there will be a goodly number of them.
