Beautiful, willowy forms so slim Lose fairness with every day. But she still is queen and hath charms to spare Who wears youth'* c'4r<mal — beautiful hair. 'A Preserve Your Hair and you preserve your youth. "A woman is as old as she looks,” says the world. No woman looks as old as she is if her hair has preserved its normal beauty. You can keep hair from falling out, restoring its normal color, or restore the normal color to gray or faded hair, by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. Advertise your business. None of the southern volunteer? wove permitted to go to tlie front end light Spaniards but it seems 1 hat the War department desire? in retain them for garrison duty, i.lany of the southern regiment? wish to lie mustered out. Sinct ihere is no longer hope for light¬ ing they wish to return home and i hey are making a plea to that end. The populist party in Tennessei has caved under. After this year is expected that the party in this State will pass away forever. From present indications it will lake Uncle Sam about ten time? sis long to wind up the war as it «tid to make ready for it and whip the light. Lawyer Leftwitch, of Atlanta, lias stirred up quite a sensation in ihni city by publishing an article ia defense of his position in hi? wife’s suit for a total divorce. T< say the least the lawyer’s article is original and was read with absorb¬ ing interest. Governor Atkinson won the plaudits of his party in his Dub¬ lin speech. He made a fair show¬ ing for the party and it was de¬ cidedly masterful. It is the best wpeech of the campaign to date and will prove of great value to the party. September, with its oysters, it? ‘sere and yellow leaves’ and it? fast departing summer girl, is at hand. We extend it a cordial wel¬ come.—Madison Advertiser. Our brother of the Advertiser would seem, from |the above, to prefer t he‘oyster’to the ‘summer, girl. We hope the oyster don’t feel bad. September advertisements will bring rich rewards to those who seek the columns of this paper. Our terms are reasonable and re¬ sults satisfactory. If the democrats of the county desire it, we suppose it would be an easy matter to secure one or two good campaign speakers who would come here and deliver a good supply of democratic doc¬ trine, winch would be timely just Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious. tOYv , ^AKlH^ GP POWDER Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. The State campaign is moving along smoothly and successfully under the masterful direction of chairman DuBignon. We pre¬ dict that it handsome majority will reward his able services to the party. • • • Wo presume tl a the rain of Wednesday night and Thursday made it very pleasant for travel¬ ers who chanced to be housed no der the car shed in Atlanta . It b said that history repeats itself ev¬ ery few years and the oldest in¬ habitant tolls us that where the Al Junta depot stands was once r. dense swamp—this historoy is -1 riving to make its second im¬ press audits efforts are grand. A great many sins are being charged up to the war department a and general reckoning is liable to take place later on. It said that some high-toned connection scandal? may be disclosed in with the administration of affair? in this department. The peace commissionerships will be very snug berths for tlu men who are assigned to them.. It is understood that the pay will b< $25,000 each for the term of tin contion, with traveling and hotel bills and incidental oxpences foot¬ ed by the government.—Ex. The Cubans have bounced Gar eia. The insurgents of Cuba seem to be incloned a little toward in¬ telligence in some matters. Klondike Locals.
