a VERY SMOOTH GAME
Women Pulled Jewellers for Diamond
Rings.

The Americas police will keep an eye
open for two very smooth females who
worked two iewelry stores in Colum-
bus and lit out, and who may try it in
Americas later. They are described as
about rs years old and good looking.
In Columbus day or two ago they
went into the two jewelry stores and
asked to be shown some rings. The
jewellers, with the prospect of making
good sales, at once set out trays con-
tanning ine rings. These the women
carefully looked over, but did not make
any purchases. TWAS ascertained after
their departure from the stores that
they had abstracted one of the fine
rings shown them and substituted a
cheap ring in its place. They worked
this game at two stores, then hurried
to the depot and left on one of the out
going trains. The police think they
know who the women are and where
| they went, and will leave nothing nm
done to apprehend them.

CELEBRATE a GOLDEN WEDDING

John Wheatley, then in his twenty
third year, led to the altar Miss Mary
Dudley, the rites being soIemnized at
the home of the brides parents, now
the ancestral home of her brother, Mr..
w. Ell. G. Dudley. Among the attend
ants upon that occasion were Miss
Laura Hill and Mr.. Grip johnson, maid
of honor and best man respectively,
and who soon thereafter knelt at the
altar of Hymen. Fifty long years have
passed since that time, and now dawns
the day of the golden wedding. But
these years have been full of happiness,
with but few SORROWS as their portion,
and in the golden sunset of long and
happy married life the best wishes of q

KICK REGISTERED BY CITIZENS
Regarding Bike Riding and Deadly
Skating.

When someone is run over and killed
in Americas by careless bicycle rider.
or some citizen is knocked sprawling
by roller skaters exercising on the
paved walks along Lee, Taylor or Jack
son streets, efforts will be made to
abate the nuisance. At present bicycle
riders monopoljze the pavements out
in the residence districts, while skat-
ing galore is an every evening pastime.
Only night or two ago a stalwart citi
zen was run into by two negro bicycle
riders who were racing on the tiled
walks. His good right fist caught both
under the burr of the ear and sent
them sprawling into the roadway. But
ladies' and children cannot thus protect
themselves and are wholly at the mercy
OF such nisoreants. 1t will cost life
or two, perhape, ere the dangerous
practice is stopped.

Nay BE "a Stylish One, But 1t Makes

A man usually buys a hat that's sin
style,'' but the modern hat for men has
lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-
Gus every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandruff it is a
sure sign that these countless germs are
busily at work.
There is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs-that way Is
to apply Newbro's Herpicide to the
scalp-it will kill the germs and healthy
