AN UP-T0-DATE DRUGGIST

says it is surprising how many old.
fashioned remedies are being used, which
goes to show that it is hard to improve
some of our grandmothers' old, time-tried
remedies. For instance, for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy, nothing equal
ing our grandmothers' sage tea" has ever
been discovered. Although, by the addi-
ion of sulphur and other ingredients, this
old-fashioned brew has been made more
effective as a scalp tonic and color re-
stOrer. Nowadays when our hair comes
out or gets faded or gray, instead of GO
ing to the garden or garret for herbs and
making the tea" ourselves, we simply

On Saturday night, Nov. II, the Death
Angel visited the home Of Rev. and
Mrs. ]. l.. Gale, and their darling little
daughter, Lala B., was taken. She was
four years Of age.
Lala B. was a bright, sweet child,
loved by everyone. But the Lord loved
her best. He needed just such a flower
in His Garden. Strange that the Lord
often plucks the choice ones. / reckon
He thought she was too good to live on
this troublesome earth, and so she was
transplanted to bloom forever in the
Garden of Paradise. This dear, sweet
one was not at home when she died.
Father and mother were called to the
home Of the little girls brother at
Wlngo, KY, and while there the little
darling fell asleep in the arms Of Jesus.
Services we're conducted by Rev. John
and her sweet babyhood was
laid to rest in Obion Cemetery to await |

fhe Methodist Bazaar.

Last Friday and Saturday Dec, 10 and
II, the ladies OF the Methodist Home
Mission Society held bazaar in the
store room formerly occupied by Gar
ner & Beans Grocery Store. The large
font window was beautifully and artis-
tically decorated and looked like veri-

the society bad responded generously to
the call of the president, Mrs. Swiggart,
and the fourth vice president, Mrs. Cow
den. who has charge of the local work
OF this kind, The front Of the room
was given up to the articles for sale, and
by Friday night most of them were sold.
The candy made by Mrs Rogers went,
literally, like hot cakes, and she very
kindly offered TO make more Friday
night, ready for Saturday
On Saturday the ladies had regular
Christmas dinner Roast chicken and
dressing were few'of the good things,
and they quit serving only when the
viands we're exhausted.
One OF the most interesting features
OF the bazaar was the demonstration of
Snowflake Lard and Wesson Oil, given
by Miss Baker, who travels for the
Wesson Oil firm. Five premiums
were offered for cakes made with
Snowflake Lard and about eighteen
cakes were entered, it being under
stood that each cake was to be donated
to the bazaar when they had been
judged The first premium was half
dozen gold-bowled orange spoons from
Bransford & Andrews, second, hat piR
from Mrs, Arms, third, Il pounds OF
Lard from the company.
Mrs. Hassier received first prize, Mrs.
All Alexander, second, Mrs. w. w.
Adams, third, Mrs. Ella Cathey, fourth,
and Mrs. Wehman, fifth.
Miss Baker certainly deserves the
thanks Of the society for her efficient
help with the dinner on Saturday, be-
sides which she took entire charge OF
Jhe cake sales, turning over to the ladies
over $4,000 Saturday afternoon. Alto

A Great Opportunity.

much more will be added to the beauty
OF this section. Concrete sidewalks are
being laid around those beautiful vacant
lots see advertised for sale on Dec, 16.
These lots, eight in number, are located
at the crossing OF Morgan and East
Grover streets, the only vacant lots to
be had within the keart OF the city.
They are midway between the Cumber-
land, Church Of Christ, Methodist and
Baptist Churches and the college and
library-no railroad to cross going to
school, no uneasiness on the part Of
parents as to the safety OF their little
children going TO and from college.
This makes these beautiful lots doubly
desirable. This Deighborhood is sec
ond to none in Union City; not single
family in this section, and
these people desire and are anxious to
see residences erected upon the lots to
surpass others that are already built.
