NEGROES KILLED IN STORY
Several Buildings Demolished as Re
 suit of Storm Near Jacksonville,

Little Rock, Jan. 5,-Two negro farmers were killed and considerable property was damaged by "twister , which struck near the Dick Jeter farm two and one-half miles southeast of Jacksonville, at g o'clock yesterday morning. The dead are: Mitchell Rumph, aged 50, and his son, Ham, mond, aged IS. The path of the storm was said to have been approximately 75 yards wide, and travelled more than a mile, demolishing large barn, in which Rumph and his son had taken refuge and which collapsed, causing their deaths. The home of Elliott James, a negro farmer, was partially destroyed, and the Smith-Allen cotton gin was wrecked
 The two negroes saw the tornado coming, it was said, and hurried to the barn, where they were killed few minutes later. Three mules in the barn were unhurt. Rumph was we'll to-do negro, and had lived near Jack sonville for several years.
 Dr. W. A. Lamb, Pulaski county coroner, left for the scene of the tor nado, following call from P. w. Dupree, merchant of Jacksonville, who notified him of the death of the two negroes. Dr. Lamb said last night that residents of the damaged section said the 'twister' came from the southwest and travelled in a northeastwardly di- rection.
 The region near Jacksonville was the only section reported to have been hit by the tornado.

DARKEh GRAY HAIR, LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally that Mo-
 body can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre or when 1t fades. turns gray dull and lifeless. is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up 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 at- tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays ~e 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 dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell 1t has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that. be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications. 1t also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an appearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound Is delightful toilet requisite to impart color and youthful ap- pearance to the hair. It is not in- tended for the cure. mitigation or pre- yention of disease.

Some Changes in

Tdtfle Rock, Jan. 5.-The following statement is issued by II, L. Remmel' Collector of Internal Revenue for the District Of ArEansas. Little Rock, Ark ansas:
 The Revenue Act of 1921 contains two naw important provisions, which are -ha subject cf frequent inquiry, The first relates Jo the personal eI- emotions allowed married persons, and the second to the provision requiring that 2 return be made of gross income oG $5.0O0 or more.
 Tho Act provides that 6 married per son. liying with husband or wife, whose noa income for 1921 was &1,909 CT less S .jl be afcwnf 2 personal exemption e &2,500. r c ct incola O. saeh

 The personal exemptions allow married persons, apply also to the hes of family, a person who supports in one household one or more relatives by blood, marriage or adoption. Heretofore, a person whose net in- come was less than his exemption ($1,000 if single, or $2,0O0 if married) was not required to file return Un- der the Revenue Act of 1921, if the gross income of an individual eauall- ed or exceeded $5,O0O, or if the com bined gross income of married ccu- pie and that of dependent minor child. ren e1uailed or exceeded $5,00O, Q re- turn must be filed, regardless of the amount of net income.

He said that the paGt year cotton had not been cut as mu h as was estimated, and had 1t not been for the boil weeyil a normal crop would have been gath cred. Dr. Knapp is about right. You automatically reduce the cotton acre. age when you grow all those other things that you should grow. Doing that saved us this year Do that and then grow all the cotton you care to.
