SEBORRHEA IS
KILLING HAIR

Everyone knows that the men
and women of Amyies arc losing
their hair.
The prevalence OF seborrhea (the
dandruH disease) is appalling. But
}ust as science proved that dand-
ruff was due to bacilli, science now
offers the remedy.
II is FAMO.
FAMO destroys the dandruH ba
silli and stops the seborrhean ex.
eretion. 1t stop all itching of the
scalp.
Il penetratcs the scalp and unless
the hair roots arc entirely dead, II
-ep<ourages and stimulates tho
growth Of new hair.
The ingredients Of FAMO have
never before been used in the treat
meat OF the scalp. But they arc
well known to medical science.
Three years were spent in per
feeting FAMO in one OF the great
pharmaceutical laboratories OF De-
troit.
FAMO makes the hair and scalp
healthy. II nourishes the hair in
. wonderful way and makes il lus-
'trous and Aufy.

MANY BOYS AREBE-
ING HEARD FROM.

During the present week letters
have been received from number of
our Weakley county boys in France
who had not been heard from since
last October. During this long period
of suspense and anxiety parents had
resorted to every measure to get
into communication with their boys,
but their efforts were futile.
Scott Sharp, a Greenfield boy,
was heard from last Wednesday. He
is in Germany, but had not, been
heard from in many months, all let
ters addressed to him being return
ed.
Jim Blame Hall and Gilbert Col
lier, from whom no word had come
since last October, were heard from
on Wednesday. These Martin boys
are at Colens with the American
army of occupation on the Rhine.
They write they are enjoying life
hugely, but would like look in on
the dear old homes in Sunny Ten
nessee.

Mrs. John Kennedy, near Como,
the rites of matrimony were i'm
pressively solemnized between Trus-
tee L. P. Moore and Miss Ila Ken

wedding was a quiet home affair,
marked by its simplicity.
Following the ceremony quite a
number of the relatives and intimate
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Moore gath
cred at the Kennedy home to extend
congratulations and best wishes. On
Monday the bridal party came to
Mr.. Moore's home in Dresden, being
met there by some Of his relatives
who extended greetings and cOngrat-
ulations.
Dresden is right glad to have Mrs.
Moore added to her social set. She

PARADE BOTH d.
VISION BACK HOME

Washington, Jan. 21.-The home
ward flow of American fighting
units which had the opportunity to
distinguish themselves in action, soon
will begin. ...
There was no information as to
when the divisions would start from
French ports, but heretofore it has
required several weeks for units to
embark after being assigned to ear
ly convoy.
Divisions having a distinguished
fighting record and others having a
distinctive local identity in the Unit
ed States will be kept together af-
ter their return from France until
they can be paraded at home and
receive the welcome that the people
are anxious to bestow upon them.
No definite plans as to the. three
divisions now designated for early
return have been made here, but it
is assumed at the War Department
that the various units Of each divis-
ion will be sent home close together
so that it will be no hardship upon
the men who arrive first to keep
them organized until the entire di-
vision can be paraded.
1t is assumed that the 9th divis-
ion, commanded by Maj. Gen. John
F. Organ, will be sent to a camp or
cantonment convenient to New Aork.

MILK COWS ARE
SELLING HIGH

Milk COWS in the vicinity of Mar
tin are keeping pace with the price
of Tobacco, most any kind of milk
cow there selling at from 1925 to
$3.50.
A gentleman from Middle Ten
nessee was in that vicinity recently
purchasing a carload each of milk
cows and small mules, and paid some
big prices for the cows. This stock
was shipped to Middle Tennessee,
where there seems to be shortage
of good cows.
For several years we have noticed
that when the Mississippian, the
Missourian, the Middle Tennessean
and others want the best stock,
they come down to Weakley county
and stock up, generally getting what
they want and paying a good price.
Verify, we have the garden spot of
the world!

FEB,9
AS ROOSEVELT
MEMORIAL DAY

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 20.-Gov.
Roberts today issued a proclamation
setting aside Eunday, Feb. 9, as
Roosevelt memorial day in Tennes-
see.
Gov. Roberts proclamation fol
lows:
"To the People of Tennessee
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th presi-
dent Of the United States, died at his
home in the state of New York, Jan
6, 1919.
"In common with the people of
every state in the American Union
Tennesseans mourn the death of this
great American and desire to ac-
knowledge in a fitting manner their
appreciation of his great public ser
vices, their belief in the nobility of
his character as well as their realiza-
ton of the great loss that has been
sustained by our country by his I'M
timely and wholly unexpected end.
"The congress of the United States
has already designated Sunday, Feb.
9, as the time when the members of
the senate and house of representa-
tives will assemble in the hall of the
house of representatives at Wash
ington for the purpose of expressing
in solemn and formal manner their
tributes to the memory of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Gin keeping with this action OF
our national legislature, and in fur
therance of the patriotic purpose in
tended, the chief executives of many
of the states of the Union have like
wise designated this time as proper
occasion for the public assembling
of their people to in like manner do
honor to the name and memory of
this former president Of our coun.
try.
"Now, therefore, /, Albert H. Rob
erts, governor of Tennessee, do here
by designate Sunday, Feb. 8, 1919,
as fitting time for the public as
sembling of our people for the pur
pose of expressing in solemn and en-
during form by resolution and by
eulogy their appreciation for The
many public services of former Pres
ident Roosevelt and their deep re-
spect and veneration for his memory.
"In testimony whereof l, Albert
H. Roberts, governor as aforesaid,
have hereUnto set my hand and caus-
ed the great seal of the state to be
affixed, at the department at Nash
vile, on this the goth day of Janu-
airy, 1919.

FINE CORN MEAL

The finest specimen Of corn meal
we have seen in many day was a
peck sent US last Tuesday by Mr..
Albert Winstead, of Latham, who
is turning out an exceptionally fine
grade with his new outfit at La
than.
This meal is as white as the driv-
en- snow, is we'll ground and makes
the most delicious corn dodgers,
Auffins, batter cakes and plain
bread we ever ate. Winstead is pre-
pared to make deliveries of this fine
meal to Dresden, where he expects
to build big trade on it, as he has
elsewhere.

At last it has been demonstrated
that Weakley county soil will pro-
duce tobacco worth on the market
more than 8, 10, IL and Is cents
the pound. The grower in this coun-
ty used to believe that Weakley
very inferior quality-not as good
as that grown a few miles to the
north and northeast of US, and if he
got something like So around for it
he considered himself lucky.
Even this year, when tobacco at
GAINESVILLE was selling at $27.50,
some of the Weakley county growers
sold for around SIG. But the scales
loosened from their eyes, the prices
got better as the buyers got buster
and the competition keener-and to-
day the round price of $25 is being
refused by some growers.
Ed Elliott, residing near Hynds-
yer, is the only grower, so far re-
ported, that has actually gotten $25
around for his crop, while we hear
the names of others whom, it is
claimed, have refused even that
price.
We understand that the best pric-
es paid in this vicinity for leaf to-
bacco during the Civil war was S12
per hundred, and the 1919 war pric-
es has got that price skinned city
block. Throughout the county for the
past week or ten days the widest ex-
element has prevailed amog grow
ers, few of whom even thought Of
$25 tobacco in Weakley county.
At this writing, while it is ad-
mitted the bulk of the crop has been
sold, yet it is no doubt fact there
are many scattering crops not con-
tracted for. The quality, as gen.
eral thing, is not the best the county
has produced, but it is fair and the
crop is short. One grower delivered
half his crop in Martin last Monday,
cashing out $2,70O for that days de-
liveries and about that much more at
home to deliver.
It is estimated that the crop win
put into circulation vast amount
of the "1ong green" in good old
Weakley county, which fact is bound
to make business good.
The buyers of Wa. McCuan, local
prizer, bought 100000 pounds DUR
ing the last three days of last week,
paving $3.50 for some Of it.

CIVIL WAR PRICES SMASHED
ALL TO SMITHEREENS IN 1919.
MORGENTHAU
TELLSOF TURK
ISH HORRORS

A cablegram was received by Hon.
Henry Morgenthau, former United
States ambassador to Turkey, from
relief workers in Armenia, telling of
conditions in that country that are
so horrible as to be unprintable.
Thousands of children are starry
ing and dying for want of the bare
necessities of life each day, and |
have seen mothers so crazed by hun
ger that they would eat the flesh
from the bodies of their own children
who had died of starvation" said
Mr.. Morgenthau.
Because of the temperance of
the Spanish influenza and local con-
ditions the drive has been postponed
in many counties, but we feel assured
that as soon as conditions will per-
NIT the campaign will be put on, the
South, with a hundred per cent rec
ord in all war charities, will not fall
down on this, one of humanity's most
distressed calls for assistance. I
don't think that American mothers
and fathers, knowing that there are
thousands of children dying of star
walton, can look on their own little
ones and refuse to give to this wor-
thy cause"

SALARY GRADERS
WANT MORE PAY.
Senator HOuk Offers Resolution to Grant Leg
SIatOrs Enormous Sum Of $3.50 Each for
Expenses" Opposition to Bill.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 2O.-The
General Assembly re-convened this
afternoon.
In the senate a joint resolution
was offered by Senator Houk pro-
viding that on the high cost of liv-
ing that the sum Of $3.50 be appro-
priated out of the treasury for each
member of the assembly, in addition
to the constitutional per diem of 81,
and 81 for every rs miles travelled
in attending to their duties as mem
hers.
This additional sum was required
to meet the increased cost of living
and to pay expenses of postage, etc.
Senators Matthews and Mcfarland
both declared that the resolution was
unconstitutional in the first place
and otherwise out of place in the
senate. Senator Matthews was We
hement in declaring that members
knew what they would be paid when
thew asked to be sent here, and that
he was now and forever opposed to
such efforts to secure extra pay
The resolution was referred to the
finance, ways and means committee
In both houses bill was intro
duced to require railroads and other
corporations to furnish free trans
portation to state officials and all
wards of the state. This bill is in line
with law now in operation in New
Jersey.
In order to avoid recurrence OF
the Objectionable "junketing" COM
mittees during the proposed recess
Senator Louthan offered, and the
senate adopted, a joint resolution
which provides for joint committee
to investigate all state departments
and state offices and determine which
will require investigation by the as

accounts. In other words, this com
mittee will make a survey OF the
state government and report to the
assembly which offices require az

etate's business. This report is II

Court will convene in Dresden on
Monday of next week, this being

of term of Chancery Court can
seldom be reckoned, as light docket

will be of short duration.
