does-that is, beauties the hair. There
are many women right in this town, and
men, too, who regard it as indispensable,
because it makes the hair glossier and
more silky, easier to dress and make
stay in place. Sprinkle little on your
hair each time before brushing it. Con

nor darken gray hair.

The entertainment given by the Mary
Allen chapter, ID. A. R., on Friday even
ing of last week at the home of MIR. and
Mrs. r. A. Bingham, was an enjoyable
affair. Over sixty were present, many
more had anticipated the pleasure of the
evening but extreme cold weather and
bad condition of the roads in many places
deferred them from being present, but
the pleasant rooms were warm and CHEEKY
and forgotten for time were the rigors
of winter weather. An interesting pro-
gram had been arranged. Selections on
graphophones by Mrs. Field and Mrs. l..
@. Drolette enlivened the program. A
talk by Rev. Mr.. Rose on the attitude of
the English and Americans and condi-
tions and outcomes of the Revolutionary
period was listened to with close atten-
ton. John Mott Hoyt, junior at Midd
lebury college, rected 1.-THE Kings

ed to an encore with Lending a Hand"

and in many masculine face an appre-
ciative expression was seen as it brought
forcibly to mind their own experiences

the back with buttons and holes, hooks
and eyes that refused TO meet and match.
Mrs. w. III. Bingham read emilio Bates,

THREE RESIDENCES BURN.

Three splendid residences on
Congress Heights Boulevard were
totally destroyed by fire at about
noon last Wednesday. The hous-
es were occupied by the families
OF MeSsrs. j. f. Dennis, W. Fl.
Hagan, T. ". Moore and J. b.
Mcnamara, and were owned by
{. }. Nelson, S. NJ. jackson and
Mrs, Geo. Myers. The buildings
were partly covered by insurance.
The household goods of Messrs.
Hagan and Moore were a total
loss; the household effects of Mr..
Dennis were partly covered by
insurance; nearly all of Mr.. Nc
Namara's furniture was saved.
The tOtal. loss is estimated at about
$4,000. The light water press
ure and the hi. h wind from the
sOu,h caused the flames to spread
very rapidly and prevented the
Fire Department from doing IFS
usual good work. The fire origi-
mated, We learn, from an oil stove
in the rooms occupied by Mr..
Hagan's family upstairs in the
Nelson building. Sparks from
the angry confIagration were car
rled several blocks, and it requir-
ed hard work to put out a num-
Der of residences which caught
fire from the scattering sparks.

PAY DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.

The Board ofSuDervisors should
make arrangements Of some sort
to cash the warrants Of LeflOre
county promptly. For some time
the warrants have been going at
a discount Of 10 per cent, and in
a good many instances at a great
er discount. As a general rule
only a bankrupt is allowed the
privilege Of djscounting his paper,
and ii is an absolute outrage for a
great c unity like Leflore to per-
NIT her paper to 60 at less than
par. When an individual works
for the county he ought to re-
ceIve full val e for his work. The
Board should arrange for suffi-
Gent money to pay dollar for dol
lar regularly for the county's war
rants.
