Chapel Hill ChaF

were rolling back from Raieigh
the other day over the hard
surface road he said: when
I used to live on a farm near
Mebane forty years ago we car
ried all our produce by wagon
to Raleigh, and it took us two
days to make the trip. We
Icamped out in the woods on the
way and cooked our own food.
In Raleigh we'd camp for an
other night or two in some field
on the edge Of the city. Alto
gether, marketing our stuff
would make US be away from
home five or six days. Now, on
this road, going from Mebane
to Raleigh takes about two
hours"
In my college days, around
1900, it was Mr.. Pickard who
was depended upon to transport
the students back and forth be-
tween Chapel Hill and Durham.
He had several teams and q col
lection of hacks and buggies.
The creeks now spanned by con-
crete bridges had to be forded,
we were lucky to get through
at all. The wheels we're often
axle-deep in mud. A paved
road was just as unbelievable
then as an airplane. We took
the mud and roughness as a
matter of course and thought
little of it.
Tank Hunter was another
liveryman of that period. And
now behold him an automobile
sales agent, whizzing up and
down the main street in a shin
ming car the which he is ready
to demonstrate to you as the
only car fit to drive. / remem-
ber how he used to stroke low
ingly the neck of q chestnut
three-year-old and assure you
that the steed could go on the
race track and show it's heels to-
any animal in America. He's
the same old persuasive Tank
he has just transferred his pride
from horseflesh to machinery.
Automobile tourists from the
North to the far South are q
familiar sight in town these
days. You see some New Eng
land States license plate, and a
little later, perhaps the name Of
Michigan or Wisconsin or
Ohio. Trunks, suit-cases, rugs,
and all manner Of miscellaneous
packages are piled inside and
strapped outside. The strang-
ers enter from Durham, stop
sometimes for gas or oil, and
pass on in the direction Of Pitts
boro and Pinehurst. To them
this is merely one Of hundreds
of small towns along the route,
and they hasten on their way.
! doubt II most Of them even
know the name Of the place.
The automobile-riding tramp
is becoming a familiar figure
too. Last Friday I picked up
one this side Of Durham. He
was dressed in good clothes and
said quite frankly that he had
enough money to pay his way
but preferred to save by get
ting free rides. He had come
all the way from New York in
other folks cars, and boosted
that he had found this method
of travel easy. He was q
shameless rascal, ] thought, and

The post office has been moved
from the south end of the hotel build
ing to the north end The removal
entailed a lot OF work for the post
master, Mr.. Dunning. but he took
advantage of the holiday on Wash

more commodious quarters could not
be secured, the little - by 8 foot
space allotted to the public compares
cry unfavorably with the large room
to which they had become accustomed
at the other end of the building. When
the mail is late, and it frequently is
in these days of irregular trains on
the New Haven, when train on
time is the exception, the sac. u
space may be a serious problem.

Enjoy Chicken Pie Supper

Everyone spent a very enjoyable
time at the chicken pie supper given
by the Ladies' aid of the Neiehborly
Hill church on Wednesday evening.
A feature of the evening was a
weight guessing contest of a large
cake which rad been provided for
that purpose, the nearest guesser to
take the cake. The estimates ran all
the way from to 10 pounds, but
none guessed the correct weight which
was pounds ounces. Four peo-
pie guessed and one-quarter pounds,
and two guessed pounds ounces, so
the cake was divided between the six.
Over $1,000 in all was obtained by
this first effort of the ladies 70 raise
money for redecorating the interior
of the church, and the committee in
charge deserves high praise, which
may encourage them TO try again in

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

Hair that loses its color and lustrc.
OF when II fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeiess. is caused by 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
iractive, use 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 bottle of "Nyeth's Sage and Sui
pFuu Compound" which darkens the
han so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell il has been APP
pied. You Just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the gray
han disappears but what delights the
ladies' with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beautifully
daTkenlng the hair after a few applica-
tons, IT also brings back the gloss and
liisiFe and gives it an appearance of
abundance.
