Tall Business at the Postoffice.

Stamp receipts at the Lum-
berton postoffice for September
reached the unprecedented figure
of about 81, 800. Sending out
campaign literature during the
recent amented hot inter-party
campaign was responsible for be-
tween $500 and $4Oo of this
amount, but exclusive Of what
that brought in the receipts
mounted higher than the amount
for any month heretofore S987.
Receipts from money orders for
the last Is days of the month
just closed amounted to 81, ,388,
the largest amount ever taken in
for the same length of time.
Exclusive of the stamp sales
for campaign literature. the re-
ceipts from both sources repre-
sent the steady increase in busi-
ness that is going on all the
time.

Things Are Not Always What
They Seem.

Some excitement was created
Friday afternoon when it was
reported on the streets that the
dead body Of a man had been
pulled out of Lumber river near
the old wooden bridge. AS John
Chinaman would say, many
flocked for to look see. And
what went they for to see? The
body of a man overcome of the
waters? Verify. And thereby
hangs a tale.
Some evenings ago some boys
on mischief bent secured a clothes
dummy and hanged it by the neck
from the iron bridge. It was a
fcarsome sight and it mace the
blood of belated wayfarers run
cold. Lone ONE and cold and
stiff it hung there in the dark.
and many passed by on the other
side before one passed who was
bold enough to approach near
enough to see what the dreadful
sight really was. By and by it
was cut down and allowed to
sink in the waters below.
Which the same explains the
gruesome find of Friday after
noon. Coroner Rancke went
pl omptly to investigate, as is his
custom. Shucks! When asked
about it, though, he said that il
was clearly murder in the first
degree.

SAGE FOX DAKKENlNG THE
HAIR,

There Is nothing new about the idea OF
using sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using u
"sage tea Whenever their hair fell out
or took on a dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, they made brew of sage
ieaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-time,
tiresome method Of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
skillful chemists better than we could do
Il ourselves, aud all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product, Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation Is sold by all first-class
druggists for SOC. and Sl.00 a bottle, or
Is sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company, "a Cortlandt st., New nYork
City, upon receipt Of price.
