C, C. LUNDYS HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE:
NO WATER AVAILABLE WHEN
PUMP BREAKS. NO INSUR-
ANCE ON BUILDING.

Fire originating from defective
chimney entirely destroyed the home
of Mr.. c. c. Lundy on the Chicka-
sawhatchee road, Monday morning at
O'Clock.
The blaze was discovered by Mr..
Lunday before it had gained Roadway
to any great extent, and he rushed in
to the yard to get a bucket OF water.
In his hurry and excitement the pump
broke, and as no other water supply
was available the owner was Obliged
to sit idly by and see his house soon
developed in flames
Neighbors appeared on the scene
and realizing that it was impossible
to save the house, they assisted in re
moving as much of the household
goods as could be moved. II is under
stood that Mr.. Lunday carried no in
surance on the building.
Mr.. Lundy's home has long been a
landmark OF Terrell county. 1t is To-
Gated on the Chickasawhatchee road
five miles from Dawson, and was for
many years recognized as headquar-
tiers for the finest fighting cocks in
this section of the state. Some Of Mr..
Lundy's prize fowls have been pitted
against fighters from Mexico and re-
turned victorious.

BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Trv Grandmother's Old FaVorite
Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
it at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
ohur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark. glossy and attractive.

Dawson Should Help
The Farmer to- Sell

The failure OF Investigation in
Terrell county is due more to the
town than to the farmers. All of the
commercial training and ability Of
Dawson has been used to sell to the
farmers. There are in Dawson forty
stores that buy foreign goods to sell
to Terrell county farmers. There is
not one store whose chief business is
to buy from the farmers what they
produce to sell to non-residents.
Let's make Dawson just as good
market for the farmers to sell in as it
is now for the drummers.
