Hog killing was the order of the day

farm, and then raise what cotton we

FIRE
If controlled—Man’s most useful ser
vant
If uncontrolled—His most destructive
foe.
If your property is not absolutely fire
proof it may be the next to go up in
flames.
If it goes, will your brightest hopes go
with it?
A Fire Insurance Policy kindles fresh
hope, because it gives you the ability to
rt come back.”
See us today. Tomorrow you may
have nothing to insure.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with 8ulphur It Darkens
80 Naturally Nobody
Can Tell
The old-time mixture ot 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 a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of tiie 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." It 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 a few applica
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
to attractive.

Dear Free Press:
The announcement of the departure
fom this life of Mrs. J. D. Powers, in
The Free Press, is very sad news to us,
who knew her ns a girl, a good Btudcnt
in our school at Bcllview, as Miss Ger-
trudo Bell, daughter of “Sonny” and
Sallie BeR, of Bellview, two of our
much prized friends, shocks and grieves
ns very mueh indeed, for we fear it
is Gertrude, who was at a hospital a
few weeks ago, whea we had last heard
from her. She was one of the^Elst
pupils and it is sad indeed to hear that
one eo young ehould be called on to
leave her devoted hneband, John Pow
ers, and her eight children and her
splendid pefente, brothers and sisters
and friends, nil of whom are sad to hear
ot her death. Bnt she wee e good wo
men and we hope she is st rest end
that all these may meet her in happinese
in heaven.
Onr birthday on the 7th, last Friday,
was a happy day to the teacher, made
so by tbe tokens of his old students and
friends, given him on that day and
since, which are much better than after
death reminders of appreciation.
Thanks for such kindness and lovet
We taste the sweets,
Of cakes nnd meats,
That wero that day given,
And pTay, each one,
When lifo is dono
May dwell up in heaven.
In rest above
Where all is love,
With Christ over to bo;
Meet' friends again,
And there romain,
With whom is J. W. B.
Miss Annie Crawford and Mr. Hulett
Hudson were happily married on Sun
day, the 9th, Rev. Thomas A. Bonner
officiating. Mueh joy to them here and
in heaven. J. W. B.
