Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Feb. 5.-Owners OF fast
horses in Newark and vicinity were
greatly disappointed yesterday when
the thaw in the middle of the day
prevented the brushes that had been
arranged for the afternoon During

Main street speedway was fine, but
The warm sun around noon put a stop
10 the sleighng. A number Of horse
men came TO Newark as it was, but
the snow was too soft for tho sport
by the time they arrived All OF them
were especially anxious TO have a
brush on the new street, as this was
the first opportunity since the street
was built last summer.

Oppose Advanced Rates.

The subject OF advanced coal rates
in prospect for Mississippi is one
which is causing much apprehension,
in all ranks, among business men and
consumers.
The Jackson board of trade has TAX
en- up this matter with considerable
vigor, and adopted a resolution defin-
ing the community feeling generally,
to be sent out over the entire state:
Resolved, That the business men of
the city of Jackson respectfully, but
earnestly protest against this proposed
advance in the freight rate on coal,
for the reason that they believe the
present rates are amply remunera-
tive; that freight rates in this state,
generally speaking, are already high
enough, and that it is not good for the
railroads to attempt to increase their
revenues at the expense of shippers
and consumers, in these conservative
times, when it is a matter of common
knowledge that all other lines of bust
ness are bearing their shortage of both
volume and profit, and have no relief,
until an improvement in industrial and
commercial conditions takes place"
There will be preliminary meeting
of all interested here on Feb. q, at
which time it Is expected that num-
Der of the functional points will be
represented.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARkENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younaeri Try arandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about 80 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair. as it does 1t
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger

Manager of Supply Company Forced
to Compromise With Receipt
of Large Order.

The tea companies were fighting
each other for the trade of the town.
The Bee Tea company gave premiums
with each pound of tea, while the Gee
Tea company did not. The result was
that the latter concern was being
pushed to the wall. Finally the Gee
Tea people realized that they must
give premiums. -.
So, after careful consideration. they
decided to give quart of milk with
each pound of tea. Business picked
up at once.

the manager. Twill you wait till go

In a minute he came back.
