Partisan Sage, the Hair Grower, is
Now Sold in America on Money
Back Plan

It's a mighty good thing for the Wo-
men of America that Partisan Sage can
now be obtained in every town of consn-
quence.
No preparation for the hair has done
so much to stop falling hair and eradi-
cate dandruff and make women's hair
beautiful as Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is the only certain de-
strOycr of the dandruff microbe which
is the cause of $40 of hair troubles.
These pernicious. persistent and de-
structive little devils thrive on the ordi-
nary hair tonics.
Partisan Sac is such an extraordinary
ditch Webster & Co, who are agents in
Augusta, guarantee it to cure dandruff
stop falling hair and itching scalp in two
weeks or money back.
Partisan Sage is most daintily per-
fumed, it is an ideal preparation, not
sticky or greasy.
1t is magnificent dressing for women
who desire luXuriant, lustrous hair that
compels admiration.
And a large bottle of Partisan Sage
costs only 80 cents at Bowditch, Webster
& Co.'S. and at leading druggists all over

as each individual or family sought
some particular goal They knew the
choicer sites, where pure water was
abundant, the soil more fertile and the
woodland afforded shade and fuel. AS
fast as the lucky adventurer reached
one of these spots, quickly did he drive
a stake into the earth and nail his claim
board, if he did not plant a flag or
pitch a tent Often that day and the
next and the next was heard the crack
of the rife. Many rider about to
claim his prize fell in his tracks, and
the man with the gun stepped in.
All this was nearly twenty years ago,
yet today there are families living
within a stones throw of each other
who neither speak nor look as they
meet. They have land fueds in Okla
