Searching the Directory.

A nicely dressed and altogether
progressing young woman was
turning over the leaves of a d.
rectory in a Baltimore drug store
when a testy old gentleman en-
tered. He, too, wished to con
suit the directory to learn the ad,
dress of man with whom he had
some business at that time. He
stood about, now and then cast
ing heavy looks and coughing sug.
gestively.
Still the woman placidly turn
ed over leaf after leaf without
any apparent intention to decide
whether the name she was seek
ing was Brown, Smith or Jones.
Finally, when matters were
beginning to grow pretty tense
the old gentleman offered to as
sist the young woman, suggest
ing that his experience might
tend to save time aud lessen la
Dor. With a sweet smile full Of
appreciation, che replied:
ooh, thanks! You are most
kind! | am trying to find real
pretty name for my baby"

1T GROWS HAIR
Here are Facts we Want You
to Prove at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem,
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic has grown
hair on heads that were once
bald. OF course, 10 none of these
cases were the hair roots dead,
nor had the scalp taken on a
glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts
scientifically, destroying t h 9
germs, which are usually respon-
sible for badness. 1t penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimulat-
ing and nourishing them. 1t is a
most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed, and will not
gum or permanently stain the
hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use
it as directed. If it does not re-
lieve scalp irritation, remove
dandruff, prevent the hair from
falling out and promote an in
creased growth of hair, and in
every way give entire satisfac-
ton, simply come back and tell
US, and without question or
formality we will hand back to
you every penny you paid US for
it. Two sizes, SOC and 81. Sold
only at our store-the Rexall
Store. Doris & Cheek.

Black Inhabitants Of France.

Lying SO mnch off the beaten
track, the village Of Port Lesne,
in the Jura department of France
is visited by but few from the
outside world, and consequently
this tiny community of men and
women of color is but little
known. 1t is not q larger village,
for it's inhabitants mum Der only
about hundred, but every one
is either black or copper colored.
1t owes its origin to the fact that
about century ago the famous
negro chief, Toussaint L'Ouyer-
ture, was brought from Haiti
and imprisoned in Fort de Joux.
Many Of his friends, all negroes,
followed him and encamped near
his prison on the bank of the
little river Loue. From that en-.
campment grew the village of
Porte Lesne, aud when Toussaint
LOuverture died more than 100
years ago his friends decided to
remain in France. The passing
of years and intermarriages have
transformed the settlement into
a French village of colored folk,
oil of whom are enfranchised.

800 Reward, 800.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all it's stages, and that is Oatarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in it's cura-
tive powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for

|NSTALLS UNIQUE
 WATER SYSTEM

Joe Hiett, who is rebuilding his res idence at Cadron Gap, which was de- stroyed by fire some weeks ago, is in- stalling unique water supply system on the premises. His home is on the side of steep hill, the house being considerably higher than his stock lot. Under porch on the upper side of the house is a deep well which supplies a fine stream of cold water, the we'll being about 10 feet to one side of a cellar underneath the house. Mir. Hiett has tapped the we'll with hori- zontal pipe, entering it just below the water level. Tins pipe carries a con- stant stream of cold water into a con- crete basin in the cellar, which an- swers every purpose of refrigerator in keeping food and milk cold, and costs nothing for maintenance. From the basin in the cellar the water is carried through pipe passing under the house to a watering trough in MT. Hiett's stock lot, thus affording his stock a constant supply of pure, fresh water. Water for domestic pur- poses is obtained from pump on the porch, the drain pipe not interfering with drawing water from the top of the well in the usual manner.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 After the recent rains will be a good time to put our county roads in fine shape, and the writer suggests that every one who lives along the road from Charlie Plants, north of town, to Roden's Mill, gather in the different townships on Tuesday, Au- gust 15, with teams, blows, etc., and give free working for one day, or more, to help get this road in good condition. With this help the over seers can put the road in good shape with county funds.
 Other communities are doing this why not we? Will enterprising citi- zen salong this road talk up this movement and help make a good road for all concerned? The writer will donate $10 worth of lumber and nails for culverts, or on the Mabery Hill if needed, and 1 am sure Conway merchants and others will be glad to assist in this matter. The Dunn or Mabry Hill needs special attention, for it is very rough and washed out Please let us hear from others in next weeks Log Cabin Democrat.
