Boys Were Playing "lndian."


With their imaginations stirred by
the scenes they had witnessed at a
moving picture show at Winfield the
playmates of Ralph Erwin and Ralph
Riner, boys aged about 8 years, tied
them up to trees after dark, piled
leaves up around them, covered the
leaves with grass and sticks, and
then set the piles on fire. In a very
few minutes the fires blazed up to
such an extent that they became dan
gerously hot for the pinioned boys.
Their screams brought assistance
from older people who cut them loose
before they had sustained any serious
injury, though they had a very mar
row escape from being burned to
death. The boys explained that they
were playing INDIAN

states that Montezuma is the center

However, by reason of alleged freight

The result is that merchants in

Sage TEA Will
DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Nat
ural C0EOr-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great-grandmothe
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using a sage tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, fad ed
CT streaked appearance they made a
brew of sage leaves and applied it to
their hair, with wonderfully beneficial,
effect.
Nowadays We don't have to resort
to oldtime, tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea
This is done by skillful chemists bet
ter than we could do it ourselves, and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Hair Remedy, containing sage
in the proper strength, with the addi-
ton of sulphur, another old-time scalp
remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
a few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Murray & Hooks Pharmacy.

Old Jasper county has long been

timber and agricultural soils. 1t is
one of the Oldest settled counties in
the state and has long had a reputa-
ton for culture and education, and in
the past few years its towns and com
munities have been vieing with each
other in the progress they have been
making toward becoming modern
cities. Both Jasper and Kirbyville

other villages in the county that are
not far behind the procession.
