Shorter, of Clarendon county, captured a belled buzzard about six miles below Summerton a few days after the big storm that swept over that section a few weeks ago.

The bell was fastened on the buzzard's neck by a small leather strap. The cotton compress has pressed more than 8,000 bales this weason.

Bluefield, Nicaragua, Oct. 24.?(By Wireless via Colon)?The tug Bianca, which has arrived here from Grey town, brings news of the first impor i tant battle of the revolution. Gen. \ Chamorro's forces fought an engage? ment on Friday with 1,000 of Presi? dent Zelaya's troops at a point below Boca San Carlos, on the San Juan river. The r. volutionlsts won a de? cisive victory, 100 of the government's troops being killed and 30 wounded. Gen. Chamorro's losses were slight. The insurgents captured two Krupp siege guns and 400 rifles. This defeat for President Zelaya will doubtless have a deterrent effect upon recruiting for the government service at Managua, and is likely also to bring additional reinforcements to the standards of the insurgents. Gen. Chamorro is now advancing slowly. The steamer Yulu, belonging to the Emery Company, also has reached here with the details of the capture by the revolutionists of Cape Graclas a-Dois. The port was easily taken, not more than five or six men being killed and a small number wounded. This gives the revolutionists control of the entire Atlantic coast. CONGO NATIVES TORTURED?

PROFIT BY OTHERS9 EXPERIENCE Gray Hair Restored My hair was getting quite gray and falling out rapidly and I was troubled with s terrible itching of the scalp. My head was full of dandruff, which fell upon my clothes and kept me continually brushing it off. While on a visit to Rochester I heard of your Sage and Sulphur for the hair. I got a bottle and used it. A few appli? cations relieved the itching, my hair stopped fall? ing out and gradually came back to its natural color. It is now a nice dark brown color, soft, glossy and pliable. Several of my friends want to use it, and I want to know what you will charge me for six bottles of it HISS 32. A BOSS.

The whole top of my bead is fairly covered and keeps coming in thicker. I shall keep on using it a while longer, as I notice a constant improvement. STEPHEN BACON, Rochester, K.
