1t was The BEACoN's pleasure, some
time ago. to call attention to the good
work that Mr., Lang Aycock had done
for the past year on the roads in dis
trict three. Much comment was heard
on what the Beacon had to say, and it
was the universal opinion that, it'll was
praise worthily bestowed" In view
of the fact that the position Mr.. Ay-
cock holds is to be let again the first OF
the month, (and without prejudice to
any n else who may apply) We again
call the commissioners attention to the
good work Mr.. Aycock has done.
Nearly half a million dollars have
been spent in building the present sys-
TEN of roads by the county. and many
thousand dollars are being spent every
year in maintaining them. We fec
sure that what is being expended in
maintaining the roads in the central
district is not being wasted. and the
commissioners in o'her districts would
do we'll to inspect the roads under Nj.
Aycock's charge and make a compari.
son of the cost and how they are being
maintained.

LADIES! SECRET TO
 DARkEH GRAY HAIR
BRING BACK COLOR, GLOSS AND. YouTHFULNESS WITH GRAND MAS RECIPE oF SAGE AND
 SULPHUR.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added. will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to.use preparation itnprov- ed by the addition of other ingredi- ents q large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores. known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid ing a lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sin full we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound no bne can tell. because it does it so natural v, so. evenly. You just danpen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at O. time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy, soft and iuxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requi- site. It is not intended for the cure migitation or prevention of disease.
