HELPFUL HINTS ON
HAIR HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles
Generally Caused by
Carelessness
Dandruff is a contagious disease
causrd by a microbe which also pro
duces baldness. Never use a comb
or brush l>e!otiging to some one
else. No mattei how cleanly the
owner may be. these articles may
be infected with micnobes, which
will infect your scalp. It is far
easier to catch hair microbe 1 than
st is to get rid of them, and a single
stroke of an infected comb or brush
may well lead to baldness. Never
try on anybody else's hat. Mauy
a hat band is a resting place tor
microbes.
If yon happen to be trouble with
dandruff, iching scalp, falling hair
or baldness, we have a remedy
which we believe will completely
relieve these troubles. We are so
sure of this that we offer it to you
with the understanding that it will
cost von nothing for the trial if it
does not produce the result we
claim. This remedy is called Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic. We honestly
believe it to be the most scintific
remedy for scalp and biir tioubles 1
and we know of nothing else that ,
equals it tor effectiveness, because ,
of the results it produced in thous
ands of cases. :
Rtxall "93" Hair Tonic is de
vised to banish dandruff, restore
natural color when its loss has bet 11
brought about by disease, and ]
made the hair naturally silky, soft
and glossv. It does this because it 1
stimulates the hair follicles, de»- ,
troys the germ matter, and brings ,
about a nee, healthy circulation of j'
blood, which nourishes the hair !
roots, csiusmg tl.ein to tighten and
grow new hair. We want every- .
body who bus any trouble with hair
or scalp to k'low that we tltink th;it
Rexall "93" Hiir Tonic is the best
hair tonic and restorative in exis
tence, and no one should scoff at o: '
doubt this statement until they '
have put our claims to a fair test,
with the understanding that they '
pay us nothing for the remedy if it
does not give full ami complete s»at
isfaction in every particular. Two
sizes, 50 cents ami SI.OO. Remem
ber, you can obtain Rexall Reme

WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1912
' Bridge Party
The elegantly appointed rooms
in the residence of Mrs Kader B.
Crawford on Soiithwick Street,
were more attractively arranged on
Tuesday afternoon when en
tertained at bridge iu honor of
Mesdames Edward MeMasters and
Francis Lloyd, who are the guests
of Mrs. F. U. Barnes. Handsome
candelabras, from which the 40ft
lights fell, together with the artis
tically arranged tub'es at which sat
the players wearing beautiful even
ing gowns, made a lovely picture
and the pleasure of the guests was
marked. An elegant menu was
served in the dining room and this
made a delightful ending to the
atternoon.
Since coming to Williamstou,
Mesdamcs McMasters and Lloyd
bave received many social favors.
Mrs. Barnes, whom they are visit
ing, giving a bridge party as have
Mrs. F. W. Hoyt and Mis. C. L>,
Hasstll. To be the guest of either
of these ladies, means an evening
full of pleasure.

livery night there are new pic
tures at the Daisy Theatre and
they are educative too. There you
will see true pictures of Western
life pictures taken right 011 the
spo f ; then acts of heroism and
merit rewarded. Good lessons in
the pictures and things depicted
that we have lead about. The
show is especially interesting to
children who can learn and enjoy
at the same time. No less is the
enjoyment keen to the older ones
oi the family.
Monday night there will be no
pictu r e show as the bou'-e will be
occupied bv the company playing
"Along the Kennebec," Out on the
next evening (Tuesday) four pic
tures will be exhibited and those
attending will have a feast at the
same price. Don't fail io goon tba'
night. And tonight will bee-ptc
ially attractive and everybody is]
goitg that can get there.
"Along Ok* Kennebec", a New
Eugland comedy drama, now in its
third successful season, w ill be pro
duce! .it tLe Opur. House Monday,
Feb. .sth. The play w moulded
along the same idea as "The Old
Homestead," 'Shore Acres" and I
"York State Folks," and deals en-1
tircly with country life. Piays oi!
this nature are deservedly popular, ;
inasmuch as they are clean and j
wholcggqre and leave a goud t..ste ;
iu the month. They equally ilius- J
tiate soiue good moral principle
without descending to the oftiait: !
morbid sensationalism (if the melo
drama or the .soul-harrowing lnei
d* n's of the proilem play. "Alor.gj

with gieat favor wherever produc

in the prestation of the play in !
this city. All special scenery is!

Except the Sm&lor.
At the Top of the Earth
Col. Wheeler Martin, of William
-1 ston, says that the American Re
public is the greatest country on
the earth —and that North Carolina
1 is the greatest State in the Republic
—aud that Martin is the best conn*
1 ty in the State—nnd that William
son Township is the best part of
Martin.
It was this way: I had an euga
gement at Williamstoti for last Suti
-1 day. Colonel Martin wrote ahead
and engaged me for his guest
and I was •' "greeable." as Uncle
Reunos would^ay—aud when I got
1 to his palatial home on Saturday
night I felt like 1 whs at the top c.f
' the earth.
1 Do you know Colonel Wheeler
Martin? If not, you have missed
one of the finest gentlemen of the
' State. He is an Episcopalian and
' a Republican—but I give that an
> cient church notice that if he
> should ever come to the Methodist
1 Chuich we will give him a great
1 welcome; —and 1 give that great
; party notice that if lie should ever
come to the Democratic party some
Ij of us will see to it that he is ac
-1 j corded an ovation and that Bro.
j Joe Daniels bring out his jiokeberry
i juice in tit News and Observer.
If you could have seen Colonel
Martin last Monday as he aided me
' in my work for the Orphanage you
whould have supposed that he wasi
> one of tun leading Methodist lay
' men of the Fast and one of the
' foremost directors of the Orphan
• age. He-made -our'cause hiscause
' —and his fellow-citizens were
iglßdly responsive. am r*ckbt to
| him at.'d to them. •
A Sunday with the Rev. Rufns
Bradley is a Sunday in which the
1 better man in you comes to the
J place of advantage —for you cannot
associate with him without a dis
tinct and conscious spiiitul gain.
He represents the positive type of
religion lor be has the line ideal
and the strength to hold steady to
it. There is 110 variableness nor
shadow of turning with him. He
is a man of marked gentleness and
of much lovabletiess of soul —but
he is a man of iron when a man of
iron is nseded. Jesus hasn't a
braver lieutenant -nywhete on the
field.
Ami a day with those Williams
ton saints is alwav s a good day
with me. They have the manners
of tlu children of God when in their
Fftthrr's house. 1 have not spoken
j to a more attentive anil kindly com
pany —they remind me of our
1 Laurinburg church.
Aud the way they respond to the
Orphauge appeal is a joy to me.
I count them among the friends of
! this gre it work.
| In the afternoon I went out to
| Holly Springs Church and received
j much kindness at the hands of
! these good people. I beg the plea
)snre of vi-iting them hereafter
j whenever i go to Williamstou.
On Sunday night 1 was guest at
the parsonage—another one of these
clean-kept, well-ordered Methodist
parsonages that mean *0 much to
\ the lite of our Church 111 the State,
j As 1 sat in the midst of that bright
circle I could but think of how rich
j the Church is in such household
j and bow fine wiil be the service
j when those children shall go out to
! the larger tasks that the Ma.-ter has 1
i for them. '
Two oi the nices■t'litlle "ladies of
the land—one from Cel." Martin's
|£tid one from the parsonage—
showed me much kindness and -
I were happy in doing it. I welcome
| them to toe company of :
I the friends ot the Orphauge. Bro
ther Ellison, superintendent of our :
Sunday-school, gave me a warm
greeting He irs otre of the friends'
of our cause and he is going to put
it at the front in his work. - ——
