DAN CUPID LAZY AS JUNE
GOES FLEETING ON ITS WAY
Different Views Taken by Negroes as
To the Worth of a Bride.

June, the time when he is generally
the busiest in Terrell, and all other
counties for that matter, Dan Cupid is
loafng among the whites but is a lit
tie more active than usual among the
colored race. Four applications were
posted and one license was issued by
Ordinary Hoyl on Saturday.
Very different views on the subject
of matrimony were evidenced by two
OF the colored applicants who entered
the office of Judge Hoyl in close sue
cession. c. L. Abort, smartly dress
ed young negro sheik OF Is, came in
for his license, application for which
had been posted several days. At the
time of the posting the entire cost
l$425, was paid, but overlooking that
fact Judge Hoyl announced that II
would cost him another $225. The
sheik, with a smile, delved down into
his pocket to get the required amount,
but the Ordinary discovered his error
and informed him to that effect. Ot
course his smile broadened.
Judge Weaver, colored gentleman
who admitted one previous attempt at
the altar, in making application to
marry a widow lady" was told that
the cost would be $4.25, at which he
remarked, Dat certainly is a heap to
put in woman" and asked if the
ceremony would be thrown in.

be critical at the time OF his death.
He was a young man OF great intel
lect talented along literary lines, a
clay modeler of promise, and possess
ed other traits which instantly at
tracted a host of friends wherever he
went. He bore his affections with
great fortitude, and British officer

that he was greater hero than any
the war produced.

residents OF Dawson, while DR.. Low
EFT was presiding elder of the Amer
icus district. At the last annual con-

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as We are liv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct. improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few appiica-
tons, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive.
