Brown-PoweII.

Utica, Miss, Dec. 5.-The prin-
cipal social event of the week here
was the marriage of Miss Annie
May Powell, daughter of Mr.. w.
B. Powell, to Mr.. Albert Gallatin
Brown, from Montana, who is a
grandson of former Governor
Brown, of Mississippi. They were
married at the residence of the
BRIDES parents in the presence of
the relatives of the two contracting
parties by Rev. Mr.. Harmon, of
Jackson, and left on the evening
train for their future home on the
Montana ranch. Mr.. Cox, of Port

Our New Temperance Reformer.


The kneeling circle of women in
the Crusade little conceived that
in the swift revolving years the
swift revolving wheel was to furnish
no inadequate answer to their pray
ers. They grieved over the way
-wardness of their boys, who were
not really vicious but whose rest
less energies sought the congenial
companionship of others like them
selves, and found no rendezous so
convenient as the saloon; but those
boys are as happy as their mothers
would be to find release into the
great pleasure-garden of nature,
and what in the last analysis is
best of all, their mothers are be-
ginning to go along with them,
and will do so more and more. It
is said by the police that those who
cater to the vices and crimes of
the people are wont to resist with
might and main the blazing of an
electric light opposite their doors,
for as the Scripture hath it, sSin
loves darkness and cometh not to
the light lest its deeds should be
reproved." In like manner an op-
en-air life is not only more ration
al and more healthful, but under
the great dome and brightness o

HoIIy-COurts.

Numbers of friends and well
wishers gathered at the Methodist
church Tuesday morning, 9 o'clock,
to witness the marriage of Mr.. F.
C. Holly and Miss Lydie Courts,
than whom there are not two more
deservedly popular young people
in Yazoo City. Both of them, en-
joy large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances, and these all join in
wishing them much happiness in
their married life.
The bride is one of the city's
fairest and most cultured young
ladies. She is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. H. Courts, and to her
gallant young husband will be a
devoted wife.
Mr.. Holly is Superintendent of
machinery at the Producers Cot
ton Oil Mill, and is a master of his
profession. For several years
Yazoo City has been his home,
and since coming here, by his high
moral character, integrity and at
tention TO his business, he mad e
warm and lasting friends OF all
with whom he has come in contact,
and no young man stands higher
in the estimation of those who
know him.-Yazoo City Herald.

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp :?
1t Has Been Proved That
rliCrObes Cause Bold
ness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg,
Germany, ard DR.. Sahaurand the
leading French dvrma.oloei~t dis
covered that micfohe causes bald
ness. Their theory has time and
again been amply verified through
research, experiments carried on
under the observation of eminent
scientists. This microbe lodges in
the Sebung which is the natural
hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair follicles
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance When this hap
pens there is no hope of the growth
of hair being revived.
Dandruf is contagious disease,
which is largely due to destruct-
i've microbe, when left to pursue
its course causes itching scalp, fall
ing hair and badness. Dandruff
is caused by the microbe affecting
the glands which produce the seba-
ceous matter. which latter then
unnaturally dries up and scales off.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe, remove dam
druff, exterminate the microbe,
promote good circulation in the
scalp and around the hair roots,
tighten and revitalize the hair roots
and overcome badness, so long as
there is any life left in the hair
roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this remedy called Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic will be supplied free of
all cost to the user if it fails to do
as we state,
twill frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color pro-
viding loss of color has been caused
by disease; yet it is in no sense a
dye. Rexall "e3" Hair Tonic
accomplishes these results by max
ing every hair root, follicle and
pigment gland strong and active,
and by stimulating a natural flow
Of coloring pigment throughout the
hair cells.
Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic is entire
ly free from grease or sedimen, is
exceedingly pleasant to use and
will not gum the hair or perma-

mates on the reduced value of
southern cattle and the products
of dairy COWS. The annual loss
being many times greater than the
total cost of exterminating the tick
on every farm in the country.
If to this we add the loss of I'M
ported, pure bred, and native non
immune cattle, the lack of devel-
opment and loss of flesh of the ma
tive stock, and the fact that a good
herd of cattle is not maintained on
every farm to utilize the unculti-
waited land and enable the owner
to market his crops as finished
products, thus securing every dol
lar of profit there is in Them. we
find the loss sustained is much
more serious.
One of the saddest features of
the agriculture of the south is the
rapid depletion of soil fertility, the
vast amount of waste land not
Welding any revenue that was once
productive, and the immense a.
mount of money spent annually
for commercial fertilizer. When
we consider that IS per cent OF the
commercial fertilizer manufactured
in the United States is sold in the
tick-infested districts of the south,
this state alone spending two and
one-half million dollars last year,
and that this condition of affairs
will continue until the farmers ap-
preciate more fully the value of
live stock and the obstacles which
have tended to prevent the devel-
opment of stock raising have been
removed.
Veterinarians have stated that
tick fever is the most common of
all diseases of our native cattle,
and causes greater loss than all
other diseases combined.
Our cheap lands, abundant
grass, cotton seed and its products,
and ideal climate makes this south
land pre-eminently a cattle coun-
try. 1t is not only suited for the
economical raising of cattle, but
the cotton plantations of the south
should be the great feeding grounds
of the country, especially for the
unfinished cattle grown in the
southwest.
The value of land is determined
by the value of its products, and
much ofsthe land that is now pro-
ducing only one-third of a bale of
cotton per acre could be made TO
produce 100 to $50 pounds of beef
| per acre that should sell for d to S
cents per pound, or 1000 to 5000
pounds of milk, valued at about 2
| cents per pound, and, with dairy
| by-products, from 900 to 400
pounds of pork at S to g cents per
pound, thus greatly increasing the
lrevenue per acre and the fertility
of the soil.
/ T. know of nothing that would

CATTLE TICKS.
concluded From Last Week,

concluded From Last Week.
When a farmer above the quar-
antine line ships a load of finished
cattle to market, there are three
classes of buyers to bid on them
the large packers, the Eastern
dealers and the exporters.
If the cattle are unfinished (not
sufficiently fattened) the comPe.
tition is between the packers and
and farmers living in the vicinity
who make a business OF buying
cattle to feed. But when a south
ern farmer ships a load of cattle
to Northern markets they are un-
loaded into quarantine pens and
classed as tick-infested ANIMALS,
and must be sold for immediate
slaughter, which prevents the local
farmer, the Eastern dealer and
exporter from bidding on them, as
the law prohibits them from beng
moved. The price paid for cattle
in Southern markets IS the prlce
paid in Northern markets Tor
Southern cattle, less than the cost
of freight.
The cattle tick IS chiefly respon-
sible for the undeveloped condition
of the dairy industry, which, to-
gether with hog raising has proven
to be the most profitable system
of farming yet developed, and is
practiced on the highest priced
land in the country.
In Mississippi no cheese is man
ufactured, though it retails freely
for double the price paid the tar
mer In the north who produces 1t
on land worth from three to five
times as much per racreas ourland,
though not naturally more pro-
ductive. Fifty per cent OF the
butter is shipped from the north,
while the market for milk and
cream is not supplied. Eradicate
the cattle tick and this southland
will be dotted over WITH CneeSe
factories and creameries as IN Wis
c consin and New York.
Cotton seed meal is spre-eminent-
" a cattle food, being doubtly as
valuable as corn for producing
either beef or milk, while in fertl-
lizing value it excells any other
food we produce. Yet for want OF
sufficient number Of cattle OF
good quality, millions of tons Of
this valuable product are annually
shipped out of the south, thus rob
bing the soil of its fertility and
forcing our people to buy at ex-
horbitant prices the food products
into which it is manufactured.
If the cotton seed meal that Is
now exported was coverted into
beef, milk, cheese and through
dairy by-products into pork or
the farms that produced 1t, ths
complaint of young men leaving
the farms would be forgotten. The
graduates of our agricultural col
leges would find more profitable
positions, and southern farmers
would rapidly become the mos
prosperous in the nation,
1t is impossible to estimate il
dollars and cents the enormoul
loss caused by ticks. Many writ
ers on this subject base their esti

Be SURE YOU ARE
WELL TAGGED AS A
G|VER OF CHARITY
School Children to Aid in Raising
Funds for the Beth Israel
Hospital.

/. Arrangements have been completed
by the managing board of the Beth
Israel Hospital to hold a tag day some
time this month, as the hospital is
very much IN need of funds to carry
out the plans for the new addition to
the hospital that is to be used as a
nurses's homes 1t is expected that
1000 school children of the eighth and
ninth grades will be asked to do the
tagging.
1t will require $22. 500 to erect and
equip the new addition. and this, with
the $1,000 which must be raised by Au-,
gust l, means that considerable hard
work must be done by the committee
that has undertaken the carrying out
of the plans for tag day.
Beth Israel Hospital treated 713 pa
tients last year. 454 Of them being free
patients. and 1855 prescriptions We're
furnished irrespective of nationality
and creed. The addition is needed, so
that the present nurses quarters can
be utilized for the increased number of
patients applying for treatment.
Headquarters for completing arrange
ments to carry on this tag day have
been opened at 1888 Market street, room
II, and the various auxiliaries OF the
hospital will have their representatives,
IN duty from today.
