ed. Judge Breathitt and Hiram
Brown represented the plaintiff, and
Judge Joe McCarroll the defen-
dant.
Next week the equity docket will
be taken up.
There are no cases of great i'm
portance and things will look mighty
dull. Only few litigants will at
tend the session.
Judge Hanberry is a great docket
cleaner and during the six weeks of
his present term he has been per-
sistent in pushing every case to as
rapid conclusion as possible.
Some witnesses and defendants
have been Indifferent in obeying the
orders of the court. which the Judge
does not easily overlook, consequent
~ few fines were assessed, while
others were reprimanded and warn

The Judge does not fear crowd

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color

1t is easier to preserve the color
OF the hair than to restore it. al
though II is possible to do both. Our
grandmothers understood the secret.
They made sage tea and their
dark. glossy hair long after middle
life was due to this fact. Our moth
ers have gray hairs before they are
fifty, but they are beginning Ia APP
preeiate the wisdom OF our grand
mothers in using sage tea" for their
hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage Of the past In that 1t can get
a reaiy-to-use preparation called
wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. As scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation Is vastly SUI
periur to the ordinary sage tea"
made by cur ggandmothers
The growth and beauty OF the hair
depends on healthy condition OF the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand-
rum germs which rob the hair Of It's
l!fe, color and luster. makes the
scalp clean and healthy, gives the
hair strength, color and beauty. and
makes II grow.

TO MEET FRIDAY
QUESTION OF LIGHT AND POWER
FRANCHISE TO BE DISPOSED
OF AT THAT TINE.

At the request of six members Of
the common council yesterday, Presi-
dent Peters called special session
OF council to meet Friday night at
o'clock to take up the report of the
committee on streets concerning the
proposed franchise for light and
power.
The street committee has rejected
the bids for the franchise and has a
resolution TO that effect, which 1t will
present to council on Friday night.
1t is claimed by the members OF the
street committee who did not agree
with the majority of the committee
that the council will refuse to accept
the report, or at least adopt another
report accepting the proposition OF
the Richmond and Henrico company.
1t is said by those who have can
yassed the situation that the vote VIII
be fourteen for the franchise as
against six against 1t.
After the council gets through with
the matter. a special session of the
board of aldermen will be called.
Those who know say that the board
is quite evenly divided. that one man
may change the result one way or
another.

grand jury, which for the past week
has been investigating the tax returns
OF the county, declared that as far as
II could ascertain there was not a

snHai property belonging 10 them.
They Were given "A chance by the in

According to the report made TO
the court yesterday by the jury,
Chesterfield ranks as high as any
county in Virginia as far as the legal
payment OF taxes lis concerned.
Before discharging the special jury,
Judge SoUthail commended their
work and declared that he was graft
fed to know that so few of the resi-
dents of that county had made i'm
