Riley and his associates continued
in this occupation three or four years
All the while the young poet was
gaining a reputation here and there
as a rhymester. teller of good sto

lovable young man.
He wrote a great deal, and much

the young poet who believed anc
doubtless was justified in believing
that his products were as good as
those the magazines accepted and
published He did not have name
and lack of reputation in those days
was a serious handicap. Riley never
ceased to contend when with his
friends that this fact and this alone
held him back To prove 1t, he wrote
the famous 'Leonainie," and, with the
connivance of the editor of a Koko
mo Ind.D paper, presented it to the
world as an unpublished poem by Ed
gar Allen Poe. An elaborate story
was devised, in which it was said that
the poem, bearing the initials e. A
p, had been found on the fly leaf OF

known style, and its publication
aroused much interest. In the enc

came from Henry Wadsworth Long

later. in 1888, Riley's first book oi

It was a simple little affair, bound

More Complimentary
Words For American
State Bank.

We deeply appreciate the many
nice things said about our first
wears record when the bank show
ed nearly $4,000 on deposit and
declared an s per cent dividend on
its stock.
All the officers and directors
were reelected for the coming year,
showing the confidence in which
they we're held by the stock
holders. There were no resig-
nations, which means that all the
Jfficers and directors were satisfied
with their conn ectiCn with the
bank.
But we have just heard from our
CORES pondine bank in New York
City; the bank that stands behind
US with their millions of money to
furnish US with what we need to re-
lend to the good people of Ben Hill
County. This is what they say al
ter their first years connection
with us:
''The statement you sent re-
garding tbs progress your bank
has made is very flattering one
and your management must feel
very much Sratified at the re-
markabIe success you have met
with SO far, and you have our
best wishes Cor continued pros
perity. We have every expect
ancy Of being able to comply
with your wishes this coming
year
We honestly solicit the business
of every reputable citizen and
especially the FARMERS, LOT we
are here to do you all good as far
as cur means will allow. We loan
ed over 100000, the past year and
will be in position to lend more
than this in 1912 on good, secured

Thanking each and every one Of
our patrons for their assistance to
us and soliciting the business OF
all others who desire to connect
themselves with bank who appre-
ciates them thoroughly, we beg
to remain. Very truly yours,

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
II Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness,

II Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause BaIdness.
Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the Sebum, which is the nat
ural hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair foilicles
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance When this happens
there is no hope Of the growth of hair
being revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation In the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitalize the
hair roots, and overcome badness, so
long as there Is any life left in the hair
roots
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall ""93" Hair Tonic will
be supplied free Of all cost to the user
If it fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently help to restore
gray and faded hair to its original
color, providing loss of color has been
caused by disease; yet it Is in no sense

plishes these results by aiding in max
ing every hair root. follicle, and pig
ment gland strong and active, and by
stimulating a natural flow of cOloring
pigment throughout the hair cells.

we simply ask you to give Rexall
