At the term of court in HEX
man last week, il must be ac-
knowledged by friends and foe
that Commonwealth Attorney
Ii. j. Norman did his whole duty.
II is a matter of court record
that he prosecuted vigorously and
fearlessly, Notwithstanding he is
a candidate for reelection, and
might have increased his chances
of election by "Shying" a little
IN certain instances. But Mr.
Norman hewed to the line, re-
gardless of where the chips fell.

Neither side should wilfully mis-
state the facts, but reason togeth-

say that only one road will be
graveled or that all of them will
be graveled. The facts are,
hundred miles can be metaled for

fellow may say they ought to
gravel all the roads or none.

and the "fixin's" that go Herewith, let
those of us who have hitherto lacked,

onion has an oil in it, and the oil has
a Latin name and a specific function.

The W. 0. W. Day at SeImer.

The great W. 0. W. Picnic and day
of assorted amusements was pulled
off last Thursday at the Fair Grounds.
The people came in squads, platoons
and divisions. They came by water,
land and rail, mostly land, in wagons
and buggies. The red lemonade
stands did an early rushing business,
though the free ice water, as long as
it lasted. was healthy competitor.
At 1890 the crowd had gathered in
the grand stand prepared to be cleo
trified with oratory.
Mayor Terry Alternately was called
by the master of ceremonies to make
the welcome address, which was
charged to Horny Hodges who was
absent without leave. Terry had
prepared a speech Of introduction for
Grant Mathews, but forgot his har-
ness, and instead of welcoming the
people under his Introductory speech
presenting the orator of the day Hon.
A. G. Mathews, the grand cyclops of
the order of woodcraft. 1t is putting
it gently to say he made one of his
best speeches on fraternity and
patriotism.
He was then followed by A. Y.
Simmons, the State manager, who
made a strong appeal for new men,
bers.
Mr.. Maddox, representing the rec
lamation of lands in the State. made
short talk, when the dinner hour
gong was muttering in many yawn-

dinners galore.

Easy to Darken GRAY Hair

When your hair turns gray, streaked
with gray, white, faded, brittle, fall
ing out, itching scalp or dandruff, try
the following: On retiring rub Q-Ban
like shampoo on hair and scalp. By
morning the gray has disappeared
and another application or two of
Q-Ban the hair is beautifully darkened
and becomes fluffy, glossy and luxuri-
ant with real hair health. Itching
and dandruff have stopped. Q-Ban
stops falling hair and promotes its
growth. Q-Ban is not sticky and
MESSY, and cannot iniure the hair or
scalp. Delightful to use and sure to
darken hair so evenly and naturally
no one can tell. SOC for a 81 bottle.
