My Hair\
> “ I had a very severe sickness g
that took off all my hair. I pur- g
chased a bottle or Ayer’s Hair D
Vigor and it brought all my hair I
back again.”
W. D. Quinn, Marseilles, 111. i
One thing is certain, — |
Ayer’s Hair Vigor makes I
the hair grow. This is |
because it is a hair food. |
It feeds the hair and the g
hair grows, that’s all there |
is to it. It stops falling |
of the hair, too, and al-1
ways restores color to |
gray hair.

CONCORD CULLINGS
Concord, Ga , august 10.—Grand
and glorious times here the past week.
The protracted meeting at the Baptist
church was a glorious one: twenty-two
additions to the church, 'twenty-one by
baptism. The meeting was conducted
by Dr. Solomon, of Atlanta, assisted by
the pastor, Rev. R. F. Smith. The an
nual prof-acted meeting is expected to
begin at the Methodist church today
and will perhaps continue throughout
the week.
The educational rally Saturday was
a succctss. About $2,000 was raised to
build an- w school house, that being
two-thirds of the amount asked for.
The school house will doubtless be built
in the near future. A conservative es
timate of the crowd present was about
1,000. The barbecue and the basket
dinner was a most bountiful one and all
bad plenty to eat and much to spare.
Prof. Jackson, of Forsyth, and Senator
McMichael, of Jackson, were present
and addressed the people on the subject
of education. They were followed by
Rev, R. F. Smith, ot Locust Grove,
with a very entertaining and interest
ing address. Hon. O. T. Smith, of Don
cord, introduced the speakers in a very
able and creditable manner, which re
flected much credit to himself and the
occasion. There were nine schools rep
resented in the contest for the medals.
Miss Kate Bowers, of the M. G. I , of
this place, carried off the highest hon
ors, winning the first prize. Crawley
Beckham, sou of R. T. Beckham, of
Zebulon, captured the second prize.
The recitations were all good and all.the
contestants acquitted themselves well.
.At four o’clock in the afternoon a game
of ball was played by Con lord vs. Sun
ny Side, which resulted in favor of
Concord four to three. Owing to the
nice little rain, which fell during the
game, the game was somewhat retarded.
During the day a company was organ
ized with a capital of $300,000, $250,000
by Northern capitalists, to erect the
cotton mills at Flat Shoals.
Many beautiful showers of rain have
fallen all around about here during the

tured the third prize in the Greater

correspondent.
The people here and at Molena who
who have expressed themselves to me
in regard to the prize winners in the
correspondents contest say that the cor
respondents exercised splendid judg
ment in costing their votes and that the
premiums were justly awarded.
I wish to return my special thanks to
those of my comrades who so kindly

ed.
