Do You Use It?
It’s the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro¬
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re¬
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour¬
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

Candidate for Mayor.
Col. J. N. Ilalo is in the race for
Mayor. This is what he has to
say: •‘Atthe kind solicitation of
many of our citizens I have con¬
sented to allow the use of my name
for Mayor. That all may know
my position J will state
1st. I am opposed to the hog¬
pen law as it was carried out in
1897. '
2nd. While I am and have al¬
ways been the friend of public
schools, 1 want them so conducted
that the burden of expense will
not be greater than the benefits
derived therefrom, The peo
pie are grievously burdened be with
taxes and they should reduced.
3rd. I believe a laborer is wor¬
thy of his hire and want fair pay
given to all.
4th. I am as heartily in favor of
doing everything to advance the
welfare of our town and people, a?
any citizen and, if elected, will do
all J can consistent with the pres¬
ent depressed financial condition
of the country.
5th. The office of Mayor being
executive, if elected, I would see
that the laws are enforced, what¬
ever they are. No pledges on
measures nor to men.
Respect fully,
J. N. Hale.
OOJVu MI IJN ICATED.
Mr. Editor:—I desire to remind
ill those within the corporate
imits of Conyers that an election
lor city officers is just at hand and
hat, while without prejudice to
he many excellent men who him
Heretofore served as city guardi
tns, we are under the imperative
necessity of inaugurating a new
>refer of things in the line of econ¬
omy and retrenchment. I am
sure that in our financial straits,
groaning as we are under the heavy
oad of county and state taxes, any
tffortin this direction will meet a
learty response in the person of
sve’ry tax payer. While our re
tources become less our taxes have
teen doubled. We eertainly need
relief. Let us then use the prun¬
hook where it is possible. Let
ne then observe that the salaries
>f our city fathers are a needless
burden. I am quite certain that
lie best and most efficient and in
elligent of our business men will
serve us as Mayor and Councilmen
vithout any pecuniary reward
vhatever. There are some posi
ions in the social fabric paid in
till by the honor attached to the
dfice. To be riders in an enligh
oned city carries with it an honor
aid dignity of which any man may
veil be proud.
Other small towns are served by
heir best citizens without fee or
lope of reward. Our neighboring
own, Covington, may be given as
m example. There Mayor and

Aldermen give their time UTid tal¬
ents, with pleasure, to building up
the best interests i.f their city.
Under this system they always
have the best men to manage their
affairs-. These men seek not the
office, but for their worth and pe¬
culiar fitness they themselves are
sought. This is what comes of
the office seeking the man.
Now, to carry out this idea let a
meeting of all the citizens be call¬
ed next week at the courthouse
and there, by a primary, select
t he men whom we shall honor dur¬
ing the coming year as our city
fathers. By this one move we
will both lessen the city expences
and secure at the same time the
best possible municipal govern¬
ment. • Tax Payer.
