You don't like those gray
hairs, do you? And your hus
band certainly doesn't like
them. Then why not try a
bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor?
It restores color to pray hair
every time, all the deep, rich
color of early life. And it
cures dandruff also.

New N, E. Church Finances.
The handsome new M. E church
building is rapidly approaching com
pletion and when lluished it will bo a
credit to the membership, to architect,
to tlio contractor and to tho town.
However, such splendid additions to
tlio substantial welfare and architect
ural beauty of the city can not bo
made except at heavy exponso to somo
one. Tho membership of tho Method
ist church in this vicinity is none too
wealthy and they ask all tho people to
aid them iu their endeavor to raise
funds to pay for the building before
tho time come- for dedicating it.
Ah tlio result of the tlrst canvass for
subscriptions to tho now church fund
pledges amounting to $.'!,: WO. 1.") were
secured. Of this amount t'J,!5.'J8.1,'l was
collected and paid out for work by tho
old board last year, leaving a balance
of $l.:U8:i2 uncollected.
Work on the building was discon
tinued during the winter, and this
spring tho now board let the contract
for the completion of tho building to
Mr. Chambers, tho stipulated prico
boing $(5,r00. A second subscription
was takon this spring, 52,.r)28.:U being
secured. Of this latter subscription
910 has been paid in, leaving a bal
ance of $l,.r)88.:i2 uncollected and a de
ficiency of $:,'.'"'- wholly unprovided
for.
When the contract fur tho comple
tion of the building was lot this spring
L. L. Boron, John Coon and L. II.
Rii'-t obligatod themselves to see tho
work was paid for. Tlio old subscrip
tion is now being collected in, and
a now list will soon bo started in tho
hope of securing sullicieut pledges to
wipe out tho indebtedness.
River Bridie Damaged.
Tho exceedingly high water of tlio
past fow days caused great incon
vonienco to travelers and business
men who had freight iu transit. Tho
river at this point was tlio highest iu
many years, somo even going so far as
to claim it was tho highest ovor known
hero. All tratllo on tho Burlington
east and west was abandoned from Sat
urday morning until Wednesday
morning. Trains were sent around by
way of Hastings and their arrival and
departure wore very uncertain.
Tho bridge across tho Republican
river south of town has been declared
iiusafo and closed to travel. Tho south
pior has sottled about two feet, and
that end of tho bridge is sagging bad
ly. Tho work of repairing tlio bridgo
has already boon begun and it will bo
but a short time until it is again open
ed for tralllu,
The State Convention.
Tho Republican stato convetion for
the nomination of justices of tlio su
promo court and regents of the unl

Shall the City Own Its Lights?
At tho mooting of tho city council
Wednesday evening H. D. Kumnier,
proprietor of tho Rod Cloud Mills,
again asked for a franchise which
would enable him to establish an oloc-
trio light and power plant in connec
tion with his mill. After a brief dis
cussion tho matter was laid over. Tlio
majority of the council is opposed to
granting a franchise to any privato
individual or corporation, being in
hopes that some plan can bo devised
by which tho city may own and opor
ato its own olootrio light plant. Yet
if tho citizens desire that a franchiso
should bo granted to Mr. Hummer the
council will probably not stand in tho
way of this much needed public im
provement, and for tlio purpose of
ascertaining the trend of public .sen
timent in the matter a mass meeting
of citizens will soon bo called to dis
cuss the various phases of tho ques
tion. It is certain that tho question
must eventually be decided ono way
or the other, and in fairness to Mr.
Kummor tho decision should bo de
layed no longer than is absolutely
necessary.
Antl-Snlttlni Ordinance.
Now that wo are beginning J.o put
on metropolitan airs with our tine new
cement and brick sidewalks, lot's try
to keop them clean. Probably tho
worst nuisanco wo havo to contend
witli is the man wlio chows tobacco,
stands around on the street corner
and --quirts tho juice in gieat big gobs
all over the pawmient. Let's havo an
anti spitting ordinance one that will
do away witli those puddles of tobacco
juice through which the ladies have
trail their skirts when they havo any
shopping to do. Tho legislature has
passed a law which practically abol
ishes the obnoxious cigaret, and it is
up to the city council to pass an ordi
nance which will regulate the tlltliy
"chewing" habit. As for tlio smoking
of "rank" pipes ami cigars in public
places, wo aro willing to leave it to the
good judgment of tlio city council to
decide what action should be taken.
Each of those habits is much filthier
than cigaret smoking and fully as of
fensive to u largo percentage of tho
people.
The Fourth.
Tlioro was not much doing iu Red
Cloud on the Fourth. A few lire
crackers wore exploded, and lato in
tlio afternoon a stranded aeronaut
gave a successful balloon ascension
and parachuto drop. Soon after tlio
ascension there was an impromptu
foot nice which livened up tho spec
tators and caused considerable amuse
ineiit The courso of the race was
west on Fourth avenue from tlio
neighborhood of tho Holland House
and north on Webster street as far as
tlio oyo could reach. Odds wore of
forotl that A I Slaby would bo unable
to overtake the streak of Green which
bo was pursuing. Tlio loader in tho
raco lost his hat and shoes, but sue
t ceded in making his "get-away." Ono
of the shoos can be had upon applica
tion at this olllco.
Cowlos, Bludon and Blue' Hill each
had successful celebrations, and most
of tlio peoplo of lied Cloud who could
get conveyances celebrated at one or
the other of those places.
Bladen Celebrates.
Quito a nuuibor of our peoplo cele
brated at Bladen on tho Fourth, the
editor of this paper bein among them.
A good program was given, consisting
of speaking, music, liorso and foot
racing, boxing contests, a base ball
game between Five Star and Bladen
which was won by tho latter by a score
of 8 to .", tho entertaiuiuont closing
with a display of llroworks in tlio oven
ing. It was our first trip to Bladen, and
wo enjoyed it immensely. So far as
dwolliugs and farm buildings aro con
cerned, the farmers in that part of the
county aro considerably ahead of their
brothers in the southern part of the
county Tlio crops aro looking Hue,
tho corn being cleaner, while wheat
and oats aro much heavier and of
more oven growth than that farther
south. It is worth ono's time and
trouble to take tho trip and enjoy the
sight of the uiaguiHcout crops and tlio
splendid homos along tho routo.
