SHELLMAN NEGRO FULL OF
“SHINE” DROVE FORD CAR
RECKLESSLY SUNDAY.
Three negroes who had imbibed a
quantity of “moonshine” and possess
ed a Ford car tried to break the speed
record from Graves to Shellman Sun
day about dark, but their trip was
abruptly cut short when they smash
ed into a buggy on the road two miles
the other side of Graves.
From reports of the occurrence it
seems that Willie Hawk, who was
piloting the flivver, crashed directly
into John Buffin’s buggy as the latter
was attempting to turn off the main
road in ‘front of the old Cobb place.
The buggy was reduced to kindling
wood while the Ford was almost de
molished by the impact caused by the
speed of the automobile. Officers went
immediately to the scene of the wreck
and brought Hawk, who Ilives in
Shellman and works for the «King
I.umber Co., to the county jail, where
heis awaiting commitment trial. None
of the negroes were seriously hurt, al
though all were more or less bruised.
It is miraculous that the negro in the
buggy was not killed.

WERE UNUSUALLY INTEREST
ING SUNDAY MORNING AND
EVENING. NEXT SUNDAY.

Baptist church Sunday was very en
couraging to the leaders and workers.
The superintendent stated that it was
the best in several months, and he
predicted that the Dhest cra of the Bap
tist Sunday school in years is just
ahead of it.
At the morning hour of worship
Pastor lowe preached on the theme
of “Fellowship,” following which the
church gave the right hand of fellow
ship to about a hundred of the 134
who have come mto the local church
since January llst of the current year,
The others, who could not come to
this particular service, will receive the
hand of fellowship some time later.

was held at the evening hour. A pro
gram was rendered by the young men
and women of the Baptist church who
attended college the past year, one
representative from each college at
tended by the young people of the lo
cal church having part. The special
music was most cxcellent and was
enjoyed by all. The general subject
for those making talks was: “Keeping
in Touch With God,” each speaker
showing how Christians, especially
college students, can keep in touch

stitutions of learning the coming year.

for the service will be: “The Glory of
the Cross.” At the evening hour the

LADIES! DARKEN
Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother’s time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
;ure was applied with wonderful ef
ect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will
get this famous old preparation, im
proved by the addition of other ingre
dients, which can be depended upon to
}t;es_tore natural color and beauty to #he
air,
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
fiour hair, taking one strand at a time.
y morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
