A Hair
Dressing
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to
mak'e the hair more manage-
able.; to keep it from being
too rough, or from splitting
at the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair-food.
Well-fed hair will be strong, and
will remain where it belongs —
on the head, not on the comb!

May 31—J. W. Duhcan is in Dallas
this week on business. *—
Mr. Moore, from Dallas, representing
a mercliantilo firm, was here the past
week on a land trade.
[-*■'*■ —r~
Mr. Radford and daughter, Miss Ada,
of Turlington, visited in the eity the
first of last week.
The young men are now going alliga-
tor hunting as a sport, and are having
a lot of luck in Jolly Slough. J. Colley
Franklin and brother, Leas, killed four,
we understand, between them. Several
having been killed. This is the time of
year to rid your lake and ponds Of them.
Get in a boat and drift about, with win-
chester rifle, and watch for them. If
they are in there, they will coine up and
float around in 30 tokBft feet, of von as
long as you stay. Try it in Evans Lake
near the middle line on northwest side.
We are sorry to note the damage done
to the crops over the county by the re-
cent rains. We have just finished a two
days ride, taking school census for this
district, and fonnd crops very nice, com-
paratively clear from weeds and grass,
and healthy, but not so green as we
would like to sees, AH seemed to be
growing nicely, and only two farms, Mr.
Campbell’s and the old Nesbitt place on
Keechi, seemed to be wet. If the dam-
age to crops, in Dist. 17, by the rains, is
an average for thjs end of the county,
it will not be over 5 per oent. Crop
prospects will be brighter as soon as
those behind can get over their crops.
Cotton, here, is growing faster than for
years, where the land is stirred a little
“bit,” even if wet. Get into your crops
plenty of time to make all you can
gather. We love to see -everyone cheer-
ful. Life is too short to despond and
worry over things we can’t help. We
do the best we can in the present and
let the future, so far as our crops are
concerned, take care of itself. We hand
out all the boquets we can, and feel well
paid by the smiles of those who have al-
lowed themselves to get into the habit
of crossing the bridges before they get
to them. We noticed last week an old
“saw” that “people suffered most from
things that never happen.” There are
hundreds of people today worrying over
the floods that come next tnonth. We
are working now, and will do our worry-
ing in June, “if they come”—provided
they damage the crops—but by that
time we may need all we get.
We have met Commissioner Weaver,
sipce our last locals, and he informed ns
that the Court had taken the hands off
of the West Point and Butler road but
had not killed it or vacated it, and that
it would be unlawful for anyone to
fence the road up. We are thankful
and offer apologies to anyone feeling ag-
grieved at us for what we said last week.
We were misinformed as to what was
done. E. L. W.

There arei jimmy people who
have used Chamberlain’s Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
with splendid results, but Who
are unknoWn because they have
hesitated about Riving a testimo-

toward making it a household by

How to Break up A Cold.
It may be a surprise to many
to learn that a severe cold can be
broken up in one or two days’
time. The first symptoms of a
cold is a dry, loud cough, a pro-
fuse, watery discharge from the
nose, and a thin, white coating
on the tongue. When Chamber
Iain’s cough remedy is taken ev
ory hour on the first appearance
of these symptoms, it counter-

tained an hour after sotaeol and I stomi the System to a healthy
condition in a day or two. For

It was the custom to answer
the roll call with quotations, so

while Miss B’s quotation was:

pearls to me.”--Ex.

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the
spring or early summor, they call it
“Spring Fever,” but there is no fever—
usually. It is the after effects of onr
winter habits. The nerves are mostly
at fault. Tired, worn-out uui'voo leave
ns languid, lifeless, and without spirit
or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop’s
Restorative will absolutely and quickly
change all of these depressing symptoms
The Restorative of course won’t bring
yon back to full health in a day or two
but it will do enough in 48 hours to sat-
isfy yon that the remedy is reaching
that “tired spot.” Druggists every where
are advising its use as a splendid and
prompt general tonic. It gives more
vim and more spirit to the spoonful than
any other known nerve or constitutional
tonic. It sharpens a failing appetite,
aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and
kidneys, and brings new life, strength
and ambition. Try it a feVr days and be
convinced. Sold by all dealers. *
