Mrs. BOuknight Meets
Horrible Death.

Mrs. Jacob M. Bouknight, the vile
Of q well known and prominent farm
or of the Black creek section. met
most horrible death on Saturday or
last week. When her husband arose
he built fire in. the stove and IN the
fireplace also before going to his gin
short distance away. He had hardly
been gone more than fifteen minutes
when he was attracted by the screams
of woman and, rushing into the
house, he was horri6ed to find his wife
in flames, her clothing all gone and
her body mass of burns. DIR. d. NJ.
Crosson, of Leesyille, was summoned
and arrived within IS minutes after
the occurrence; but the unfortunate
woman's injuries were beyond the AID
of human skill, and at II o'clock Sat-
urday night death came as gentle re-
lief to her torture.
Mrs. Bouknight had been subject to
epilepsy and it is thought that she sut-
fered an attack, fell in the fire uncon-
scious and was burned before aid could
reach her.
She is survived by her husband and
a large number of children. Her re-
mains were laid to rest IN the cemete-
ry at Black Creek Lutheran church on
Monday in the presence of large con-
gregation of sorrowing relatives and
friends, the last sad rites being per-
formed by the Rev. J. D. shealy.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage, a Simple.
Remedy for Dandruff, Failing,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of usiA~ Sage for
%darkening the hair il again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at s~eventy-fve,
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our Crandmothers
kept their hair soft and glossy with
a Sage Tea" which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making 1t.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market
a superior preparation of Sage, COM
bined with Sulphur and other valu-
BILE remedies for dandruff, itching
scalp, and thin, weak falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends
more on it's rich, even shading than
anything else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color In
a few days; and don't be tormented
with dandrun, itching scalp and
loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy will quick
ly correct these troubles, and give
color, strength and beauty to your
hair.
