Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggs

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of it's lustre, strength and its very

save your hair.
Get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
so beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an Incompatible gloss and

most will be after just few weeks

JONESVILLE

"JoneSville, Oct. 25.-One who is fa-
miliar with the Old Testament scrip
lures will not be at all surprised or
alarmed at the great European war
for these scriptures tell us of con-
tinual wars with the different tribes
and Kingdoms and why should we
think it strange that there is a great
war in progress. Jephtha's army killed
forty and two thousand of the Ephra
mites along the banks of the Jordan
in one day, pretty. good slaughter of
men in one day at that remote period.
Our Savior told the people plainly
when he was on earth that there
Z Rhe war and rumors of wars
y 1llfnes and earthquakes in divers
places, but the end was not yet, so the
best thing for us American people
to do is to make all the food and
bread stuff we possibly can and have
enough for home consumption and
then make all the cotton we can for
the foreign spindles and then the for
eign wars will not hurt us.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Oct. 25.-After
few days of rain last week it is
now fair and fine weather again. Some
prophesied there would be a killing
frost after the rain we have had, but
it is still warm with no frost to hurt
anything in this section.
This has been fine time for saving
hay and there has been lots of all
kinds stored away for the winter.

county. Mr.. Tom Cunningham has
built one on Mr.. G.. NJ Jordan's place
in the Fair Forest section this season.
There hasn't been much grain sown
yet, but every farmer ought to sow
just as much as ever. Now don't let
the price of cotton keep you from SOW
ing small grain. We should all learn
lesson. The price of cotton has been
good this season and let us not plant
too much next year or we might take
less next year.

good Baptists have a good Sunday
school. This house is not as large as
it should be nor is it a new one, but
they have their departments and
classes all separate. This is done by
the use of curtains drawn across the
house on wires, and it was we'll or

hearing the classes arranged this way
and in trying to teach without any
divisions of the room.

Ever notice a toad? He squats
complacently and with his ridiculous
little bowed fore legs braced apart
blinks up at you as impudently as
though he doubted your ability to step
on him and flatten him into the
ground. Nasty thing, toad.
Ever hear a man, young or old,
boasting of what a very wicked and
dangerous character he was? Seemed
to forget that the God he defed could
snuff out his life as a candle is snuff
ed, didn't he?
