Beautiful eyes prow dull and dim
As the swift years steal away.
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

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.

None of the southern volunteer?
wove permitted to go to tlie front

1 hat the War department desire?
in retain them for garrison duty,

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

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,

dict that it handsome majority will
reward his able services to the
party.

may be disclosed in
with the administration of affair?
in this department.
