A WOMAN INUNDATED.
Would Not Attend Social Functions
Because of Her Hair.

There are many women in this
world, handsome in features, perfect
in form, graceful of movement and
brilliant of mind, who keep in the
back ground just because they have
thin, colorless and lusterless hair.
In Paris they understand things
about ne hair that we do not know
lin this country. 1t was a Partisan,
Dr. Sabourand, who discovered that
thin hair and dandruff are caused by
microbe.
1t is Partisan Sage that proves Dr..
Sahourand's theory to be correct, for
it is rigidly guaranteed by Hood &
Curtin to Kill the dandruff germ and
cure dandruff falling hair and itch

AT THE CHAUTAUQUA.
Large Crowds Enjoying the Feasts
Offered by the Program.

While the directors of the Chau
tauqua have given special emphasis
this year to the bible and Sunday
school departments they have in no
wise neglected the departments of
popular lectures and entertainments
for the evening hours. The lecture
given by Dr. William Sturgeon
Wednesday night was we'll worth the
price that is being charged for a
season ticket He appeared on the
platform twice Thursday and in
each instance his lecture was an in
tellectual treat.
He was to have spoken Thursday
afternoon on The Prodigal Son, -
but he changed his subject and told
the story of the great WEIGH revival.
| This lecture was heard by a larger
day audience than usual. Dr. Spur
geon is scholarly and eloquent and
having a magnificent voice it is no
trouble for him to hold the undivid-
an active part in the Welch revival
and in his lecture he told many
things connected with that wonder
full work of grace which had never
appeared in the press reports.
The entertainment given Thursday
night by the Neel Sisters of Green
Vile was heard aud enjoyed by an
audience that almost filled the au-
ditorium. These popular young en-
tertainers were honored with the
largest attendance that has marked
this session of the encampment. A
program of readings and music was
delightfully."- rendered The readings
were given by Misses Evie and Mac
| kie Lee Neel in a way that showed
| they had a true conception of their
su bjects. The vocal duet by Misses
Sadie and Nellie Pearl Neel were eX-
! cellently rendered, and the last
named little lady, who is a mere
child captured the audience with
her solos.
The exercises Friday began with a
prayer service at $40. The first adj
dress of the bible conference was
delivered by Rev. J. II. Burma OF
Dallas His subject was The Holy
Spirit and the Apostolic Church. -
From II to 11:45 Dr. Thornton
Whaling OF Dallas spoke on the sub
ject of Jesus Choosing the Twelve. .
Dr. Burma spoke again at 2:30
Thursday afternoon on Prayer and
the Apostolic Church
At 4 O'Clock the Baraca and Phil
athea rally took place.
At $50 this evening that distin-
guished son of Mississippi, Hon. Jas
| x. Vardman, will deliver his fam
Gus lectur, The Impending Crisis. >
Goevrnor Vardaman has few super
| iors as an orator. His stage presence
| is commanding and he has voice
| that is full and resonant. Those who
| do not hear Governor Vardaman to-
night will miss a treat.
There has been some complaint
relative to the bad order that has
prevailed around the auditorium
| during the night entertainments
| This disturbance is not confined
wholly to those who stand or sit on
the outside of the building but it has
| been observed that many persons
who occupy the rear seats in the au-
ditorium are continually engaged In
an audible conversation while the
lecturer Is trying to talk. AS rule
most people who pay their money tc
/ be entertained do not like to be dis
turbed by the loud talking Of some
one sitting near them.

Conclusion.

We have made our calculations
on information received from our
county authorities and while some
figures are in round numbers we be-
leve they are substantially correct
and can be verified All the people
in the district need the roads. Crops
are short and many want work for
themselves and teams. The man
who has gravel bank needs the
money and his gravel is doing no
good in the bank. The farmer needs
the roads so that hauling or travet-
ing can be done regardless OF the
weather. Our children need the
roads to go to school on during the
winter Taking all these things In
to consideration we feel we are JUS
titled In asking you. as friend and
neighbor, to give your vote for this
proposition, benefiting every one In
our country alike
Very truly.

AN AWFUL THOUGHT.

How in the world can you afford to
raise all those hogs?" the stranger
asked Uncle Hiram, who lives way
back In the mountains Of Lumpkin
County, In Northern Georgia. "Oh,
they mostly dew fer theirsels," he re-
piled, with smile.

"Whar's she a-goin' naow? Down
long the river to git drink, All reck-
on"
Suddenly there was a loud splash
which made the old man jump from
his comfortable position on the porch
and run toward the bank.
She'll be draownded, shore 'nough
The blew saow! She's a-driftin' !" he
screamed. "Ain't yew-all gwine hep
me? Hep! hep"
Uncle Hiram plunged into the water
after his favorite. BY dint of much
pulling and hauling. amid unearthly
squealing, the animal was finally safe
ON dry land. But the rescuer was car
ried swiftly downstream. Had it not
been for some loggers near by, 1T is
doubtful whether he would have lived
to tell the tale. He was dragged
ashore, more dead than alive. and re-
vived with difficulty. A little later,
after drying his clothes, besmirched
with sticky, copper-colored mud, on
some scrubby black cks, he went back
to the cabin to tell his "ole woman"
She listened stupidity to the adven-
ture, closed her snuff-box, even took
the gum-brush out Of her mouth, and
then began to cry.
"Why, anty, don't yew-all go cry
naow. Paps all right" coaxed the
wood-cutters

A Valuable Clew.

A woman entered a police station in
Holland and asked the officer in charge
to have the canals dragged.
"My husband has been threatening
for some time to drown himself" she
explained, "and he's been missing now
for two days.
Anything peculiar about him by
which he can be recognized?" asked the
officer, preparing to fill out a descrip-
ton blank.
For several moments the woman
seemed to be searching her memory.
Suddenly her face frightened.

Harold Denison; and the uncertain tones
in which he uttered the words were
stringent commentary on his previous
speech.

that I'm wishing to talk to you now.
It's. cruel pity that fine old property
like Glinn should be broken up. A good

"You need not remind me of that"

The squire nodded assent. He certain
ly had a confused idea that Pearman
had made pretty good thing out OF
the adjustment of his affairs.
'Now,' continued the attorney, Il see

all immediate embarrassment connected
with money matters, and by which Miss
Denison may be the eventual mistress of

cumulate in his daughter-opened gor-
geous prospect to his eyes. 1t was
piece of good fortune that he had never
dreamed of. But he knew his man by
this time well. What was the price he
was to pay for this? He said nothing,
but inwardly his brain was busy in vain
conjecture as to what Pearman would
demand as his guerdon for producing such
Transformation scene. The idea of that
worthy solicitor ever doing anything with
out an Interior motive was one he never
entertained for an instant. What would
he want? What did he mean?
