year in which weddings are frequent:
at the time of the county fair, in Au-
gust: at the annual chatauquas, close
ly following the fair: and at Thanks
giving and Christmas. More mar
riages take place in the months of De-
cember and January than in any other
two months.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
weddings which the Reverend Paisley
has performed was several years ago
when he united a couple at Hallsville
while the conductor held the train on
which he was passenger. The couple
wished to keep their marriage Sc
cret. and hence arranged to have the
ceremony read about IL o'clock at
night in the brides home. Mr.. Paisley
and the conductor got off the train,
ostensibly to carry something to a
"sick friend attended the wedding

engineer obligingly waited
The Reverend Paisley is called upon
for many secret marriages. A young
man of Columbia had arranged to
meet his sweetheart, a student in a
woman's college in another town. in
Boonville, there to be secretly mar
ried. At the last moment. the would
be groom's courage failed him, and
he decided that they should come to

Paisley. The feast at the brides home,
which was always almost as much a
part of the wedding as the ceremony,
and the big dinner next day at the
home of the groom, have become
things of the past In these days of
haste, modern grooms are forgetting to
kiss their brides as a completion to
the ceremony. Instead of the oscula-
tory finale being customary, it is now
the exception, says the Reverend Pas
ley.
OF the III ceremonies which Mr..
Paisley has performed, only four bene-
diets have been so thoughtless as to
forget to remunerate the man who
tied the knot. An unusual gift was a
small package containing a pair of
kid gloves, and. in each palm, an en-
velope containing a five dollar gold
piece. THAT hasn't happened as often
as might be desired" mused the Rev.
erend Paisley.
The Reverend Pasley's ministry has
extended through the rural districts
OF eleven counties, and it is to his
wide acquaintanceship with people re-
siding in his former pastorates that he
attributes the fact that so many coun-
try couples come to his home in Co.
lumbia to be married.

BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old FavOrite Rec
ipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
cd, brings back the natural color and
iustre to 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 trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You damped a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
4 youthful appearance. 1t is net il
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
Yention If disease. 62
