A Most Generous Gift.

Mrs. Elizabeth G.. Cobb has given
the use of her home in Edgefeld for
use as a Methodist Parsonage for a
period of four years. This is indeed
a very generous donation to the
cause of Methodism and the work of
that great church. Mrs. Cobb and her
late husband, who was a jealous
worker in the Methodist church for
many years, always had its welfare
at heart and this is only another. of
the many good deeds that has been
done to promote the interests of the
Gospel of the Kingdom of God here
at home. The gift means much. Upon
acceptance of the gift, the official
board decided to offer the old build
ing now occupied by the pastor, for
sale and to put the proceeds into a
church building fund. Accordingly,
the building will be sold at auction
Thursday morning at 1880 to the
highest bidder. 1t will be torn down
and the lot cleaned up and made
ready for future developments. A
committee has arranged to put side
walks around the property which will
be a great improvement. Thus the
Methodists are in keeping with the
spirit of progress that has swept this
old town" the past year. The own
one of the finest pieces Of property
in the town. It's an ideal location for
a Church qr any public hull It
is prominent, high, central and be-
ing corner lot, accessible. No bet
ter location can be had for modern
plant.

Dear Advertiser: /:
On a crisp winter day party OF
us set out to visit Lexington, Mass
chusetts famed in song and story.
Before reaching the town itself we
left the street car and went in to see
the old Monroe Tavern, interesting
for its age, association and contents;
Just outside was tremendous elm
tree with a long iron spike in it, only
the end of which could be seen. In
the Revolutionary days that tree had
been hitching post and since,
through all the years the tree has
|grown around the iron till now only
the edges could be seen. That is but

This old tavern was built in six
teen hundred and ninety five, and in
the famous battle on the eighteenth
of April this became a hospital for
the wounded. British troops. The
Monroe family who occupied this
home were originally a part of the
family of James Monroe, President
of the United States.
The ceiling of the house was very
low and the wide boards of the floor
were put together with hand madei
nails. AS we left the tavern and start.
ed to the town we heard an aeroplanei
:buzzing overhead and ! could not,
help thinking. of how much more
progress has been made since the,
American Revolution than had been
made for At leagt, sgersll cent? res
before in the world. People and
events had moved along just as they
had been doing for long, long dec
AIDES, and even up till the War be-
tween the States.
Such startling events and inven-
tions have separated US from the
Revolutionary days of the flintlock
rifle and stage coach, that people are
doubtless right in saying that this is
the greatest age in the worlds his
tory.
Longfellow tells in his poem "Paul
Revere's Ride" about the cry of de-
fance and alarm that spread through
Lexington as he came at one o'clock
in the morning. The old house where
Samuel Adams and Rev. John Han
cock were sleeping when Paul Revere
gave his alarm is still preserved,
museum of relics. The poet describes
it as:
ga voice in the darkness, knock at
the door,
And word that shall echo forever
more!
For borne on the midnight wind
of the past,
Through all the history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril
and need,
The people will waken and listen
to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that
steed
And the midnight ride of Paul Re-
vere."

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull
and lifeless, is caused by a lack Of
sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mother made up a mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks
dark and beautiful, and thousands
of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade
of hair which is so attractive, uses
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which darkens the hair so naturally,
so evenly, that nobody can possibly
tell it has been applied. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
By mourn the gray hair disappears;
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is that, besides beautifully darken-
ing the hair after a few applica-
hons, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
Of abundance.

It Is in Tibet that the art Of making
tea is really understood. TO begin
with, the tea comes in bricks. fetched
by caravcn from China. Mixed with
the tea leaves are usually few small
twigs, which help to prove that 1t is
genuine stuff. A piece is broken from
a brick. ground to fine powder in a
mortar and boiled In water for five
minutes, a little salt is added, says the
Kansas City Star. The fluid then fs
poured through bamboo strainer into
a wooden churn. A piece Of butter
and some parched barley meal are con-
tributed, and the mixture is churned
for n minute or so. The tea now Is
poured into a teapot and is ready to
be drunk Each partaker draws from
the bosom of his gown wooden bowl
to serve as a cup.

may be saved II suitable measures
are taken promptly; but much bet

done by placing around each one a
