Try This! Makes Hair Thick, Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful—No More Itching Scalp. Within ten minutes after an appli¬ cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks’ use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately dou¬ bles the beauty of your hair. No dif¬ ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz¬ ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any store, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that's all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a lit¬ tle Danderine.

Thomasviile.—Cairo is being con¬ gratulated upon the result of the bond election held there, resulting in a big victory for the $28,000 issue for sew¬ erage. A feature of the election was that there was not a vote cast against the issue. Waycross.—In co-operation with the gftvernmfent department of agriculture, farmers of Ware are preparing to make what will no doubt prove interesting tests in cotton raising under boll wee¬ vil conditions. New varieties of cot¬ ton will be tested. Dawson.—A cloudburst of rain, hail and wind struck Dawson. The mass of water and hail was so dense it was nearly impossible to see across the iHreet. Awnings were tom away, plate glass store fronts smashed and tender vegetation destroyed.

Thomasviile.—The statement that the common black martin will destroy the boll weevil will undoubtedly cause a revival of the old-time martin gourds swung on poles throughout the county.

It is reported that Massachusetts milis are c..tubing the sea island section for all the cot¬ ton they can get.
