Stops Scalp Itch
OandruH and Every Form Of Scalp
Disease Cured Quick by Zemo.

II is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruf. You rub a little
OF 1t in with tips of the fingers. 1t
gets right down into the glands, slim
ulates them. stops the itch, and makes
the head feel fine. No. II isn't sticky!
Zemo is fine, clear, vanishing liquid.
You don't have to even wash your
hands after using Zemo. And what
wonder it is for eczema. rash, pim-
pies and all skin afrllctions. A 25-cent
trial bottle at Eagle Pharmacy. Calu-
met, or l.aurium Pharmacy Laurium.
Is guaranteed to stop any skin irri;a-
ton.
Iemo is prepared by Y. w. Rose
Medicine Co, ST. Louis. Mo-. and is
regularly sold by druggists at 81
bottle. But to prove wha. it will do
at trifiing expense, Zemo is now pu,
up in 25-cent trial bottles.

A BEAUTIFUL SHOWER.

On Tuesday evening the Philsthea
and Baraca Societies of the FIRST
Baptist Church entertained at their
pretty church on Washington aven-
ue with beautiful shower out Of
compliment to Mrs. P. E. Schilling.
The parlors Of this handsome edi-
fee were appropriately decorated
for the occasion, and the pretty tree
thickly dotted with incandescent
lights was teeming with dainty gifts
for this popular bride As the
merry party entered the parlors the
rooms we're darkened and the state
ly tree blszaning with lights pre-
sented a lovely scene
Mr.. and Mrs. Schilling returned
Sunday evening last from their hon
eymoon to New Orleans and other
points Of interest, and are
now at home to their friends at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E.
Mann, on Washington avenue.

DEATH OF MRS. D. A. JOINER.

Mrs. Dorsey A. Joiner died at
her Sunny Side home on Friday
afternoon, January 18th, 1912, at
2:15 o'clock, after an illness of
only three or four days. Mrs.
Joiner was a splendid christian
woman and her friends and ad-
mirers were numbered by all who
knew her. 1t is sad indeed for
such a noble character to be taken
from her relatives and friends in
the very prime of her useful life.
Mrs. Joiner's remains were
brought to Greenwood by boat,
and taken from here to Duck Hill,
the home of her childhood, for
interment. The remains were ac-
companied by the grief-stricken
husband and j. j. Church and R.
A. Joiner.
The Commonwealth extends its
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
family in their great grief.
