KNIGHTS FIX DATES
 FOR JANUARY FAIR
Elect Fred Gagne as Chairman of General Committee on
 Arrangements
To Give Away s2oo Hope ches, and
 Six Cash Primes

Cargill Council. Knights of 6olum- bus of Putnam. established the past week the definite dates on which the annual indoor fair will be held in Union hall. The event will be held on Jan. 24, 9, 26 and 2T, inclusive. and judging by the plans that are being laid. this seasons event will be con- ducted on a more elaborate scale and will provide great deal more fun and amusement than those held here tofore.
 Fred Gagne, who was geheralissimo of the forces that took Windham eoun- ty by the ears few months ago and put over so successfully the fair of Putnam Lodge of Elks, has been chos- en as chairman of the committee to have charge of the Knights affair. Because of his selection for the post a splendid beginning is made, his friends assert. and for that reason they say that the fair is assured sue eessful run. And when they look over the list of names on the general committee. they are sure of 1t. These are the names they find. and the places they represent:
 Putnam-A. N. Vaughn, l.. W. Null Ian, 4. ] Montville, A. L. Duvert. AL fred Maynard. Charles Bove, Dr. A. Parent, J. J. Charron. Oscar Dugas, Edmund Keane, Napoleon Benoit, Jr., Armand Bellerose. Edmond Gagne, tTreasurer)
 Pomfret-James W. Maher tSecre- tary). K. H. Gotter, T. A. Hanley, W. F. Morton.
 Dayville-A. J. Cavanaugh, Aleide Page.
 Michael White
 Mechanicsyile-Joh E. Kennedy.
 A few subcommittee have already been chosen and they are hard at work as follows: Hall. Messrs. Duvert, Mullan and Charron; purchasing, Messrs. Vaughn, Mullan. Hanley, White and Keane; entertainment, Messrs. Kennedy, Bellerose and Nor ton; publicity. Messrs. Maher. Cotter and Montville.
 A total of seven prizes will be giv- en away during the fair, the first award being s20O hope chest. and the other six, cash prizes as follows Second, S100: third. s25; fourth, S25 fifth, $50; sixth. s25; seventh. s25.
 To some the grand prize may seem unusual and as having an appeal Co but "a small percentage of people. Most assuredly maidens looking forward e the day of their marriage would most certainly covet such a prize and q prospective bridegroom surely would like t for his bride-to-be. There are few married couples indeed that could not use q hope-fceda chest for the storing Of woollens, linens and such like And if it should so happen that bachelor should win it, perhaps be would get an inspiration and in no time al all. present it to the lady of his choice as his wedding gift. The first prize award, then, will have uni versal appeal and if the bachelor suggestion should prevail, the prize would have unbounded merit
 Besides the interest in the seven prizes, full share of attention will be given by patrons of the event to the dancing and vaudeville entertainment to be provided each night, besides the hall full of booths and other attrae- tions.

CAN DEMOCRACY RETREAT?

Alexis de Tocqueville, he tells us in
the Introduction of the twelfth Paris
edition of Democracy in America, ="
wrote that great work under the
constant preoccupation Of one single
thought: the approaching, irresistible,
universal coming of democracy in the
world" says the New York World.
He wrote it in 1888, for publication
two years later. Europe after Water

ton. Again after the little furry Of
1880 the Metternichs, and the Wind

that in the Old World the cause Of
democracy was dead and in the New

equality isxs providential fact. =

Would it be wise to believe that
social movement which has
come so far can be suspended by
one generation? Shall we sup
pose that after destroying feudal-

mocracy will recoil before the
bourgeois and the rich? Will it
check it's course now that it has

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect. By asking at any drug store for
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get large bottle of this old
time recipe, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, all ready to Use,
at very little cost. This simple mixture
can be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound now because it darkens
so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied-it's so easy
to use, too. You simply dampen a comb
or soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful

AND THE BOND issue


Concerning Judgt Howards activity
in behalf of the movement to lift Geor.
gia out of the mud, and Governor.
Hardwick's reactionary stand on the
question, which is being defended by
the Macon Telegraph, the Macon
News says in part:
1--WE hold no brief for the present
or prospective gubernatorial candi-
dacy of Judge G. H. Howard on a
platform of a good roads bond issue,
and we feel that he is at present doing
the state the greatest possible service
appearing before the joint commit
tee of the house and senate in an eff
fort to put through tn necessary legis-
lation at this session OF the general as
sembly.
But We are utterly unable to fol-
low the line of reasoning of our es-
teemed morning contemporary, which
insists that the question of bond
issut should be kept out of politics,
on the theory that Governor Hard
wick is hearty supporter of the bond
issue, in principle, and is simply wait
ing for a more opportune time to
bring it forward.
If Governor Hardwick is in fact
heartily in favor Of the proposed bond
issue, under alsy circumstances, it
would be the easiest thing in the
world for him to say so. But even SO
it is folly to be waiting for more
convenient season wien we are doom
ed to lose $2,000,000 a year of federal
aid, for an indefinite number of years
unless the legislation in question is
passed this summer and the amend
ment to the Constitution ratified by
the people in the general elections
next falk The. federal government
gave us three years of grace to get |
in line for this road aid, and the last |
hour is about to sound. 4
If that does not constitute the 'op. |
perfume time words have no mean
ing.
THE fact of the matter is that OF |
Governor Hardwick is not luke warm |
to put it mildly-on the question OF |
a bond issue his silence is doing him
an injustice and the cause of good |
roads much harm. His negative atti- |
tude, we are bound to infer, is not |
entirely unmixed with politics.
"Since the Telegraph has gone over
to Hardwick, horse, fott and dra-
goons, it finds itself in the embarrass-
ing position of having to oppose, for
the sake of politics, the best efforts |
toward securing good roads that has |
developed in a generation, and to take
a back track on question of which
the Telegraph has been one of the
most ardent advocates. The Macon
has been a mighty factor
in the development of good roads in
Georgia, and for years has been
among the most strenuous opponents
of the mud-tax
"As a matter of politics. we now
find our contemporary aligning itself
with hte reactionary obstructionists
Having fallen from gace," the Ma
con Telegraph can throw no stones
at Judge Howard, or others who are
making efforts to bring about decent
system of highways in Georgia.-Co
lumbus Ledger.
