achievement.
W. H. Harris wrote from Jackson¬
ville on Tuesday: "Ate a hot chick

supper here tonight. Roads good,”
Evidently the sun is not the »n!y
thing that “do move."
We hear that the Woman’s Club
and Kiwanis Club playmakers are go

ing revelation in artistic production
in the play, "Mrs. Temple’s Tele¬

row (Friday) night.

Judge A. (. Riley surpassed even
himself in his genius as a
gracious humorist and philosopher
at the Peach Products dinner Tuesday '
evening. He qualifies for the ,, pro
tension of H. H. ,, Healing Humorist, ,, .
He is , hereby , authorized , . , to send , at ,
least one man, care
a bill for raising him from almost
the dead. It took that princely presid
ing master of any occasion to give ex
jm.-eion to just, that love and esteem
i. which such an elegant gentleman
and philosopher a .Judge Riley is
naturally held in the hearts of those
who are so blessed as to know him.
That g< es lor Judge Riley. It would
be folly to attempt in the same breath

THE ECLIPSE ON JANUARY 24
Elberton Star: If clear weather
prevails on January 24, the people
of the United States will witness the
finest heavenly phenomenon of a gen
oration a total eclipse of the sun.
While the path of totality will be
confined to a strip of territory run¬
ning roughly from New Haven to Du
Juth, the eclipse will be partial over
most of the Eastern half of the coun
try .
Elaborate preparations are being
made by scientific men for taking
photographs of the eclipse, which will
be caused, of course, by the moon’s
passage between the earth and the
.sun.
At the western limit of visibility
the sun will rise in eclipse, while
farther east the total eclipse will oc¬
cur shortly after sunrise.
When one reflects upon it. the fact
that astronomers can predict eclipses
with such unerring accuracy is
derful, but like many other wonders j
accomplished by the minds of mer, it
no long".- excites any particu'ar 'n
terest.
Nothing is more certain than the
movements of the heavenly bodies.

Many Things Have Been
Subject to Tax Levies
Carriages were the first subject of
a tux levy by the federal government,
according to the researches of the c<m
gres.sional library. Snnff and refined
M| F" r came next, followed by sales
at auction. By 1813 retailers of liquor
were made a source of governmental
revenue, and retailers of foreign mer
c | mn(Us0 as well, in 1*15 mumifnc
tured iron, candles,' hats, umbrellas,
and shoes, were taxed along with
playing cards.
Coal, paint, cement, marine engines,
and screws were among tiie articles
upon which the government levied in
the days of the Civil war. In these
times, too, architects, civil engineers
and contractors had to settle with
the collector of internal revenue. Be¬
fore the war ended, lawyers, physi¬
cians and dentists had been added to
the list and about every one else, in¬
cluding all manufacturers.

SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair
You can turn gray, faded hair beau¬
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you’ll get a bottle of “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
bv the addition of other ingredients,
arc sold annually, say well-known drug¬
gists here, because it darkens the hair
so naturally and evenly that no one can
tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await¬
ing them, because after one or two ap¬
plications the gray hair vanishes and
your locks become luxuriantly' dark and
beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren’t wanted
around, so get busy with Wyeth’s Sage
aud Sulphur Compound to-night and
you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful ap¬
pearance within a few days.

Lord has given you a Pen
which to bless the sons of men,
And burning tears wipe from their
eyes.
your great bounty freely give,
bid the desert bloom and live
With flowers born in paradise.
Pen should for expansion bleed
scorn the world’s destructive
creed,
.
Its wars for loot and sordid gain;
vise heavenly heights sub¬ .
to
lime,
ring, through all the years of
time,
The bells that tell of Jesus’ reign.
Pen- should be a fast express,
to relieve and dire distress
In ev’ry land wherever found; —
from the King of kings should
bear
blessings of His love and care
That life and peace shall more
abound.
