EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no
one can tell, because it's done so
naturally, so evenly. Preparing
this mixture, though, at home is
mussy and troublesome. At little
cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use prepare
ton, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound"
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and,
after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully
darkened. glossy and luxuriant.

Postmaster Burns is one of the
hardest worked men in the town
these days, handling the immense
mails incident to the Christmas
holidays. However, he is perform
ing his duties with his character
istic smile, and always finds time
to wait on the public in court
eous manner. Bob Burns earned
the title many years ago of being
the best postmaster in the state,
and he is sustaining the record in
an admirable way. He received
his commission a few days ago
for four more years Of service in
his present capacity, which will
be welcome news to every patron
of the Brandon postoffice.
,Hon. J. S. Roberts has again
demonstrated his ability as a far
mer and business man, and shows
the possibilities that are wrapped
up in Rankin county soil. This
year he planted one acre to sugar
cane, and has just completed the
job of making it into syrup, and
this is his report: From the one
acre 1890 stalks were saved for
seed, equally that number were
"chewed up" and 462 gallons Of
as fine syrup as you ever saw has
been put up in gallon buckets and
neatly labeled for the market. He
is having no trouble in disposing
of this syrup at $3.50 per gallon,
many orders coming from Texas
and the delta.
