Why Not a kindergarten in Law
renceburg

Ina town whose progress is n ;.
ticeebe aad whose industries and
social advantages equal any other
town of its size, II is some what
surprising that no Kindergarten
work is being done. Most all
schools have kindergartens in con-
nectlon with them, if not you'll be
very likely to find a private one.
In these schools the children learn
many beautiful things, that busy
mothers cannot teach. The
stories, the songs tha manner of
walking ard sitting, marches and
paper cutting. drawing, modelling
in clay, all of which are instruc-
tive and amusing, and the three or
four hours a day; that they are en-!
gagged gives rest TO the mothers
and employs the chiid-mind that
is always seeking to know the
"why' of every thing they see or
hear. 1t is said a child learns
half he ever knows by the time he
is five years Of age, how very i'm
portant il is that we see that they
have the proper training. Mothers
think about this and see il you are
willing to send your girl or boy to
kindergarten. Wen see that
the teacher be secured in due time.
Let us be up with other towns
and give equal advantages then
more people will move into our
midst and give us their support,
helping TO make Lawrenceburg
a town rs we should have.

NUMBER "A
Bald Heads
Not Wanted
Badness is too Generally Com
sidered a Sign of Advanced
Age.

A bald.headed person does not
have an equal chance with one
blessed with healthy head Of hair,
because badness is too generally
accepted as an indication Of age.
Many large corporations have es-
tablished an age limit, and refuse
to take men over 35 years as new
employees.
Probably 65 per cent of bald.
headed people may regain a good
head of healthy hair if they will
follow our advice and accept our
offer. We have a remedy that we
positively guarantee to grow hair
on any head, unless the roots Of
the hair are entirely dead, their
follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We
want people TO try this remedy at
our risk, with the distinct UNDER
standing that unless it does exactly
what we claim it will, and gives
satisfaction in every respect, we
shall make no charge for the rene.
dy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this offer
back of our statement no one
should scoff, doubt our word, or
hesitate to put our remedy to an
actual test.
We want everyone in Lawrence
burg who is suffering from any
scalp or hair trouble, dandruf,
falling hair, or badness to try our
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We want
them to use it regularly-say until
three bottles have been ubed--and
if it does not eradicate dandrufI,
cleanse and refresh the scalp,
tighten the hair in its roots, and
grow new hair, we will return
every cent paid us for the remedy
for the mere asking, There is no
formality expected, and we exact
no obligation from the user what
ever.
We are established right here in
Lawrenceburg, and make this offer
with full understanding that our
business success entirely depends
upon the sort Of treatment we ac-
cord our customers, and we would
not dane make the above offer un-
less We were positively certain that
we could substantiate it in every
particular.
Remember, Rexall Remedies can
be obtained in this community
only at our store-The Rexall
Store. Burton's Drug Store.

Presbyterian Notes.

The year 1911 ended very quiet
y in Presbyterian circles. We bad
our little Christmas tree for the
Sunday School on Saturday even
ing December 23rd. On Sunday
evening December 3lst we had
a sermon by Rev. c. V. Brown the
former pastor. The attendance
was good and the sermon very
much enjoyed by all, Bro Brown
is quite a favorite here, having
won the hearts of both old and
young by his kind, gentlemanly
and Christian bearing toward all
A Watch-night service followed
the sermon, conducted by Bro.
Pafford of the NJ 3 Church. He
brought out some good thoughts
from the text-"Watoh ye, stand
firm in the faith, quit you like
men, be strong" There were quite
a number TO hear the first part OF
the programme but they kept drop
ping out by twOs and threes until
possibly not more than dozen re-
mained TO welcome he New Year
We were kneeling in silent prayer
as the clock tOlIed the moments OF
the dying year, and in the solemn
silence that pervaded that sacred
edifice we trust that every prayer
was bourne, on the wings of guard
ian angels watching DER as, to the
great loving heart of our Heavenly
Father. The week closed with an
informal social on New Years
night, complimentary to Bro
Brown, at the residence of MIS-. j

spent in conversation and games
OF various kinds, after which re-
freshments were served.

at least, to have only two meeting

other two to pleasure. We will

But madam's courage and patriot.sm

In Tarleton's nature. He bent low be-
fore her in giving his hand and rails
ing her to her feet. "Staunch and
loyal to the end are you not, my
enemy and my friend2 But you ere
the bravest woman ever met and the
ktndest. AS such l shall always re-
member you"
Perhaps 1t was because of Colonel
Tarleton's estimate OF Mrs. Prices
character that he offered to pay her
for what his soldiers had consumed
during their stay at Chantilly. Such
punctiiiousness had not characterized
his proceedings elsewhere in Virginia.
That madam should refuse payment
was equally TO be expected. That a
valuable teweled ring loft behind by
Tarleton as compensation OF somo sort
was in the lapse OF time lost or stolen
seems pity to mndam's latter-day de-
scondants. Tho bowl from which tho
memorable toast WAS drunk Ia stated
on good authority to have met with
better fate. and TO have, been re-

When Tarleton left Chantilly he
halted at a place called Meadow
