And vigorous growth, so much admired in
hair, can be secured by the use of Ayer's
Hair Vigor. There is nothing better than
this preparation for keeping the scalp clean,
cool, and healthy. It restores to faded and
gray hair the original color and beauty, pre
vents baldness, and imparts to the hair a
silky texture and a lasting and delicate fra
grance. The most elegant and economical
dressing in the market, no toilet is complete
without Ayer's Hair Vigor.
"My wife believes that the money spent
for Ayer's Hair Vigor was the best invest
ment she ever made. It imparts a soft
And Silky Texture
to the hair, and gives much satisfaction."

I could ever find to remove dandruff, euro

A War Relic.
The Durham Globe of Tuesday
says : Albeit Eakes, of Oxford,
while en route home from Wrights
ville, spent several days in the city,
and showed the reporter a war relic
that was of much interest. He car
ried with him the old coat that
warmed his body while fighting in
the late unpleasant war the war
that caused him to carry an empty
sleeve.
There are two bullet holes in the
left sleeve and one in the breast'of
the coat.
Mr. Eakes showed us a piece of
bone that came out of his arm. It
was terribly shattered by7 the ball.
He then pulled from his pocket the
battered minnie ball that did the
work.
The coat'has one button remain
ing, and could it speak it might tell
some wonderful tale that otherwise
may never be revealed. The other
buttons were thrown over prison
walls at or near Baltimore to indi
cate to the people of that city who
were in sympathy with the South,
that food was needed within, and
the buttons thus found always
brought relief.
