LIBRARY BOARD WOULD
HAVE PAGEANT THIS FALL

The Board of Trustees of the Farm
ington Public Library met in regular
monthly session on last Friday, July
7th. One of the interesting features
of this meeting was the inauguration
of movement to hold a pageant in
Pennington next fall.
The board appointed a committee,
which we feel sure will do justice to
the pageant idea in making all neces-
sary arrangements. 1t is hoped that
the boards plan can be followed out,
not only because the Library will be
given some prominence thereby, but
also because we feel that a pageant
will be an interesting and instructive
thing for Pennington. Everybody is
requested to cooperate in making the
pageant a success.
The board was especially grateful,
and desires to express thanks, to Miss
Nettie Rudy for a clock which Miss
Rudy, in memory of her mother, has
donated to the Library. This clock
supplies long-felt want of those who
have been taking care of the Library
and Reading Room
The following report of Mrs. M. P.
Cayce, supervisor of the Library, will
be of interest to our readers: For
the month of May, the report shows
that there were 11S library cards is
sued and that an average of 20 books
were issued to readers each day. For
June, 1873 library cards were issued
and the average number of books is
sued each day reached the total of 80.
To date Of meeting, the total number
of library cards issued was sol. On
July LIST, the total number of books in
the library was GAS.

.GYPSIES ARRESTED
AND CHARGED WITH
TELLING FORTUNES
THREE WOMEN, WHO ARE RE-
CENT ARRIVALS, TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY, BUT WERE RE-
LEASED WITH WARNING.

Three women, claiming to be gyp-
sizes, were arrested near the corner of
Guillemarde and Belmont streets,
yesterday morning at IL 80 o'clock by
Officer Chestnut, and sent to the po-
lice station. They were first charged
with doing business without license,
in that they were reputed to have
engaged in fortune telling" This
they strenuously denied they were
guilty of after they understood charge
which had been preferred against
them, and man who was with them
upon arrival stated that they were
violating no law; that they were
"phrenologists," and not fortune tell
ers. Consulting the city and county
tax collectors, it was found that there
was no tax on chronology" and the
women were released. They gave
their names as Concie, Annie and
Mary George.
Later in the day the swarthy-look-
ing foreigner who accompanied the
women to this city, showed up at
the police station with a paper from
the county tax collector, stating that
there was no county license charge
for phrenology, and he intimated
that he wanted permit for the wo-
men to work. They will be permit
ted to practice the untaxed calling.
but as soon as they start fortune
telling" as it is termed, they will
again be arrested. They will be
charged with doing business without
license.
A passenger on an L. & y. train
coming out of Gulfport, early Thurs
day or Friday, reported that three
gypsies were passengers ON the same
and that an old man, who was a pas
senger, complained Of having quite a
sum of money taken from him. when
he sought to have his fortune told.
AS the "gypsies" here do not claim
to tell fortunes" they are not con-
nected with this affair. although the
victim made quite noise when his
money was quietly lifted from his
hand while he looked on, it was sta
ted.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

II you are accustomed to wake up
with q coated tongue, foul breath or
dull, dizzy headache; or, II your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass Of hot
water with q teespoonful Of limestone
phosphate In it. This is intended TO
first neutraliZe and then wash out OF
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet Of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste. poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire aIimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form OF stomach trouble, are
urged to get q quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning In
side-bath. It is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep 1t up daily. Il is a
splendid health measure for 1t Is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri'
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside Is
not new. as'millions OF people practice
II. Just as hot water and soap cleanse
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and q teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos
plate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

C. H. MANN ANNOUNCES FASTER
SCHEDULE BETWEEN BIR-

SOON EFFECTIVE.

G. H. Mann, division agent of ths
l. & ~, stated yesterday that on or
about May 1 the L. & N. railroad
would inaugurate a new service be
tween Montgomery and Birmingham,
which viii greatly increase travel be-
tween Pensacola and those points. The
new schedule viii decrease the actual
travelling time about four hours, and
with connections made at Montgom-
cry is expected to facilitate greatly
the handling of tourist trade, which
is thought will be directed here as a
result of this arrangement.
Another change to improve the serv-
ice has been made by the establish
ment of a parlor car service between
Pensacola and Selma, which operates
daily, and which fills long felt want
on the part Of many who are affected
by the change.

CANNON BALLS ARE
WANTED FOR PARKS
NUMBER HAVE BEEN REMOVED
FROM LEE SQUARE AND THEIR
RETURN IS EARNESTLY DE-
SIRED.

Return of number of cannon balls
which have been removed from r. E.
Lee square is desired by the park
workmen, and Park Officer E. w.
Kemble stated yesterday that If any
one knows the location Of any or all
of the balls that the city viii send
for them. In fact so earnestly is the
return of the pieces used for decora-
tive purposes, that their return will
be welcomed, and no questions asked.
The belief exists that some Of the
cannon balls have been removed not
with intent to damage the parks
looks, nor with intent to steal them.
In fact, the officers have report Of
one boy rolling one along the street
when returning one afternoon from
school, and he told q friend that he
had found it near the Y. n. C. A.
building. 1t was too heavy to carry,
so he amused himself by rolling if
down the Palafox street grade, and
finally going through Chase street to
Alcaniz. It is not believed that this
boy thought there was any harm IN

GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
20 the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you viii
get a large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about so cents.
Don't stay rayl Try it No one
can possibly tel that you darkened your
hair. as it does it 50 naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time: BY morning the gray hair dis
appears. and after another application
or two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark. glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and a youthful ap-
pearance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.
