Marcus Edwards presided After the
song service and prayer, offered by
Mr.. Edwards and Rev. Pearson, Miss

located was decided upon as the most
logical place for the event The date

of Egyptian slavery, the picture is
unsurpassed in magnihcence. Many
scenes are shown in the bright colors

WINTRY WINDS SWEEP DOWN
UNEXPECTEDLY ON DAWSON
Weather Man Says There Are More
OF the Same Kind Coming.

Wintry winds and low temperatures
that set in Friday caught many folks
in and around Dawson unawares and
unprepared for cold weather There S
more where they came from, says the
weather man.
To be explicit, the bitter bieezes
that blasted the business of the ice
man and caused the coal mans sales
to soar came out of old Mis-
souri,, which state seemingly has trans
ferred its famous phrase from you've
got to show me" to We'll show you
Further and worse the weather man
predicts that, while Dawson awoke
Saturday to a temperature of AZ de-
grees and a firm belief that the north
pole had slipped off its base and wan
dered down to Terrell county, it was
merely forerunner of worse that is
soon to come.
But one may think of conditions in
the frozen north and be cheered. Three
New England football games cancelled
or postponed Saturdays Wintry
blasts chilled the enthusiasm of vast
throng gathered at Washington to see
a baseball game.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look YoungI Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractiVeness

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray. streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and 1uxuriant. Just a lew
applications will prove revelation II
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec
ipe at home, though, is troublesome:
An easier way is to get a bottle OF
Wveth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients. .
While wispy. gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractiyeness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it SO naturally,
SO evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.

Dawson Presented With
Goose Egg by Americas
Notwithstanding, 1t Was Hard Won
Victory for Sumter Lads.

The Americas high school football
team defeated Dawson Hi in Amer
icus Friday afternoon to the tune OF
6 to 0 in one OF the hardest and best
games ever played on the Americas
field. The lone touchdown came as a
result Of bad snap on Dawson's part
which made it impossible to punt.
This gave Americas the ball on Daw-
sons 12-yard line, and after series OF
line plays the Americas boys carried
the ball over for a touchdown.
The first half of the game was a
nip and tuck affair, neither side being
able to gain, and half ended with the
score 0 to 0. In the second half both
teams resorted to frequent punting,
Bridges, of Dawson, having the better
of Ansley, of Americas, III this respect.
In the third quarter Dawson rallied
and put up hard fight, carrying the
ball the entire distance of the field
three times, only to tumble when in
scoring distance. One march gave
Dawson the ball on Americas one
yard line. An end-run lost four yards,
an attempted pass failed Americas
punted out of danger and the rest OF
the game was spent in the middle OF
the field.
Dawson will play Triton in Triton
next Friday. Anyone having an auto
mobile that can make the trip will
