usual to do his chores and not returning
bis family, assisted by neighbor, went
in search of him and found his lifeless
body hanging to beam In the barn. No
cause ia assigned for the act except
q melancholy condition caused by old

had an incurable disease. Mr.. Farnum
had lived on the farm where he died for
many years. He was 50 years of age.
he leaves q widow, also daughter,
Mrs. Abbie Hook, of Massachusetts,, and

valid for many years, 90 bis son, Frank
Farnum, and his wife have always re-
NAMED at home to care for them. The

They Grow Hair
Certain Ingredients II Prop
erly Combined, Stimulate
Human Hair Growth

Resorcin 10 one OF the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
naphthol Is Q most powerful, yet alb
solutely safe germicide and antiseptic
which prevents development Of germ
matter, and creates clean. healthy con
dition.
Pilocarpine, although not colorine
matter or dye, is an ingredient well
established for its power to restore
natural color to human hair.
Borax, because of its well-defined soft.
ening and cleansing properties, is most
useful In the treatment of scalp and hair
diseases. Glycerine acts as q stimulani
to the hair bulbs, and has soothing
healing and, pourishing influence. Al;
cohol IL indispensable in medicine be.
cause of its antiseptic, stimulating and
preservative qualities.
Rexall 1897 Hair Tonic Is chiefly com.
posed of these ingredients, which are
compounded in peculiar form, and we
believe 1t the most effective remedy
known to medical science for scalp and
hair troubles generally. We personally
guarantee 1t to eradicate dandrud and
scalp irritations and to grow hair, even
though the scalp in spots is bare Of hair
providing of course there is life and
vitality remaining In the hair roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss Of hair to
try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. II it does
not remove daudruff and promote a
growth Of hair to the satisfaction of the
user, we will without question or quib.

Agricultural Society Trustees Meet.

The trustees of the Oxford County
Agricultural Society held a meeting
Tuesday at the assessors Office. The
officers of the society are the same as
last year, and all were present at this
Hartford. The division superintendent
for this years fair will be the same as at
the last fair.
The report of Treasurer William O..
rockingham shows cash balance in
the treasury of Sl440 As, which is about
$500 less than year ago. The account
shows expenditures for the year in re-
pairs aud improvements of s150S.57, a
considerable part of which was for per-
manent improvements, so that it may be
seen that the society has prospered for
the year.
The largest item Of receipts shown in
the report is S4297 90 for tickets. The
largest item of expenditures is $4lS3.l IA
for premiums.
The dates of this years fair we're fixed
as Sept. Is, IA and 10. The premium
list was revised, and number of
changes made in it. The class races aud
their purses are the same as last year,
open to all horses. There are added
three stake r aces, for colts one, two and
three years old, for $50, SO and 500
respectively.
In the vegetable department, new
premium Is added for the best display OF
field crops and vegetables by boy un-
der IS years of age.
In the fruit department, there is add.
ed premium for the largest and best
display Of winter apples raised and ex-
hibited by one person. There is also to
be set aside $50 each year for five years,
to make premium to be awarded at the
end Of the five years for the best acre of
apple trees set this year within the
limits of this society. This Is similar to
the premium given for the state by j. j
II. Gregory, and the conditions are the
same, except that this Is smaller ir
amount and confined to the territory
covered by this society, which Is Oxford
County and two or three towns In North
ern Cumberland.
