of the hair are entirely dead, the
follicles closed and grown over, and
the scalp is glazed.

been accomplished by the use of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic, and we

The Situation
1
Money has been tight. Trade
has been only moderately fair
The past two months have not been
keenly active. No reason can be
assigned for the dullness of this
■ period but it seemed to have been
general in all sections of the South,
i The outlook for the fall season is
much brighter than it has been for
several years. Cotton will hardly
sell below fifteen cents. The far
mers have diversified their crops
and improved the lands to such an
extent that the value the acre has
been greatly euchanced. Merc
hants have not bought heavily for
the newseason. Extreme conser
vatism has been a characteristic of
the Southern merchant since 1907.
The cotton mills will resume on
full time prior to October. Many
are now running on lull time. The
crop outlook is very good. Collec
tions have been only fair. Some
merchants have been inclined to
worry over the situation but an in
vestigation shows that the past sea
son was even a better one for
retailers than 1909. To those who
are Inclined to worry this homily,
written somewhere is dedicated:
"A poor old man is Wombat Smith;
He used bis brains to worry with.
His wealthy brother, be it s^id,
Employed his brains to get ahead.
That man, we learn, success attains
Who aims to utilize his brains."

Home Coming ot Carolinians
There is just now a great deal of
interest in North Carolina in the
Middle-West, where there are not
only thousands ot former North
Carolinians, who have never for
gotten their mother statevbut great
numbers of other people jwho are
ior the first time learning some
thing about this state and its pos
sibi'itics In nearly every coin
. munity in Noith Carolina there are
people who have relatives in Jlu-
West whi would like to visit this
state. They uovv have an excel
lent opportunity to inform these
ex North Carolinians that they can
, avail themselves of very low rates
from Ohio, Illinois and Indianua.

■ Home Coming Jubilee and Reunion
during the Semicentennial State
| Fair, October 17 to 22, ihe tickets
being good for twenty five days,
; so there is opportunity also to vistt
- any patt of the state. The tickets
i are known as Honieseekers tickets,
and to show their cheapness it may ,
be stated that the fare from Cin
cinnati to Raleigh and return is
. only $1630; children under 12,
years of age being given half fare.
It would be well for people in this
secnon to write their ami
I friends in the West about this op
I port unity, and urge them to brii g
some new people to look at this
fair state of North Carolina, the

bear or bears had been killing the
Uogvof Uenipsey Mizell who farms
assisted bv his two sisters, Misses j
IJz.zia and Mosella Mizell. Mr. j
Mizell with the two women started
out to catch Mr. Bruin in his noli- !
. 1
liess. His Majesty was located in J
a thicket and the young women
; went in with the dogs to run him
out. They were successful and as
the beast appeared in the open he
was killed by Mr. Mizell The
.Misses Mizell are not easily fright
ened, having lived so long iii the
section where bears seem to be
abundant. Yet it was a brave
thing to do and there are many men
who would have faltered.
