SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's recipe to bring
color, lustre and thickness 70 hair
when faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wispy and scraggy, just an ap-
plication or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance q, hundred
fold
Don't bother to prepare the tonic:
YOU can get from any drug store a So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
Dhur Compound, ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color, thickness
md lustre of your hair and remove
liandruff, stop scalp itching and fall
ing hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natur-
llly and evenly that nopody can tell it
has been applied You simply dampen
l sponge or soft brush with it and
lraw this through the hair, taking one
mall strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and af-
ter another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy
lustrous and abundant. (Adv.)

saved our best for great occasions
Our tables were not supplied. with .
great variety at each meal. Delicious
mullins were made of fine white corr
meal with plenty of eggs and milk anC
butter, while hot rolls and biscuits
were not so much in evidence. H.
every way we could devise we saved
in what must be bought
In all this time the negroes did not
find any difference in their manner OF
living on plantations. The time was
near that they must have their clothes
replenished-but how? Some of us
even many of US, knew something OF
the old fashioned spinning wheel and
hand looms. To such the problem was
easily solved and clothes were made
at home. Others either had to learr
how or hire the cloth woven. All ne
gro women knew how to spin, but few
knew how to weave.
Fortunately, for me, my mother
grew up soon after the Revolutionary
War when oil the clothes of the kind
were made and she taught me. l new
er wove yard in my life, but I knew
how to direct it all and did so.
We manufactured all the starch we
used from green corn and sweet pota-
toes and you get none better to-day. I
had not a spoonful of flour in my pan
try for nearly two years and when ]
did succeed in ioIying some, it cost me
one hundred dollars for a barrel. But
don't think 1 had nothing good to eat
in all that time. Necessity is said to
be the mother of invention and have
been experimenting all my life and ii
stood me in good stead.
We did not sit down and NOPE and
groan over past Injuries. We kept
cheerful and hopeful and busy We
had parties and picnics and as good
social time as we ever had. 1t was
only when news of a battle told US
that some friend had fallen or was
or ill-tfdings of some kind
that made the whole community sad.
Then we had sick soldiers stationed
around US to care for. After the hos
pital was established here it was an
everyday business to visit the sick, to
take dainties to them, to read to them
or write letters for them. or tell them
the camp news and amuse them III
some way we could
When that dreadful battle was
fought here, we wero on the field as
soon as the troops were off and there

NON-COMBATANTS DURING
THE GREAT CIVIL WAR
tsy Mrs. Fannie 3. chapman.)

Little Evelyn Lewis, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Lewis of Pensacola,
mas received a very interesting letter
from her aunt, Mrs. Fannie b. Chap
man of Mariana, which the Journal
is permitted to publisA as follows:
Non Conhatants During the War.
My dear little girl:
Your request for the experience of
non combatants, during the Civil
War rather embraces a wide range
of subjects but I will endeavor to
give you a partial glimpse of our
many sided experiences and upon the
supposition that it is for your personal
interest, I shall deal with a loose rein
to my memories d those dreadful
years
The initial step was the calling of
the convention in the year 81, to vote
upon the question of secession. This
county was strongly opposed to seces-
sion as premature measure.
-Four delegates were elected to the
convention, all instructed to vote
against it. Your maternal grandfath-
er. Mr.. Adam McNealy, was one of the
four. AS you have a personal interest
in that grand old man, ) will give you
one instance during that convention
(tIdI w III SHOW you WnaS sort OF stern,
Igfd, inflexible integrity character he
was.
After four days of stormy discussion,
vote was taken for and against Sc
cfssion. It was found the ma ority
was largely in favor of secession At
ter some discussion, the opposition
was requested to change their vote
and make it unapimous. All reluctant
ly consented but that stern old Mr..
McNealy. When urged to followN>the
course of his colleagues, his answer
was:
no. My convictions are against this
measure. I was sent here by my
county to oppose it. I have absolutely
done so and I do not feel at liberty not
to do so, and, gentlemen, 1 have the
courage of my convictions. My vote
must stand on record No. If trouble
comes, as it surely will, I shall not be
found wanting in doing my duty a.

The wire flashed the news of the
ordinance passed. We were the blank
