ument to ex-slaves will be placed in

ment has aroused great interest. The
suggestion of such a memorial was
made to the local chapter OF the
Daughters of the Confederacy some
months ago by Miss Minnie Bridges
the idea meeting with high favor. Miss
Bridges took up the matter Of a suit
able marker with the Schneider Mar
bic Co., at Americas, the firm very
generously asking the privilege of do
mating a boulder and carrying suit
able inscription. Mr.. Harry Schnei-
der has given his personal attention
to the work, and wFll be in Dawson
Monday to see that the stone is prop
erly placed. 1t bears this simple in
scription: This monument erected by
the Mary Brantley Chapter, U. D. c.,
February 5, 1923, in memory of the
slaves buried on this site before and
during the war between the states. In
humble service they were faithful to
every trust"

lLADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple MIX
ture was applied with wonderful eff
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get this famous old preparation, in-
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, which can be- depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Weisknown druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
You simply dampen a sponge of soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at time.
BY morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two. It
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
