OFFK'IAI, OltOAN OF TIIH t'FJ’V
OF BAINBItIDOK AND DKCATtlB
COUNTY.
Telephone No. 239
Why not a clean up week right
now. Everybody get busy a once.
Cat right after them.
The politicians are gathering
now for the home stretch and in
another month the agony will be
over.
If they move the capitol to
Macon, some of the brethren are
wanting to know if it could not
be amended so that Tom Felder
would have to stay in Atlanta.
A pepper box saw mill could
be used with good results on the
vacant lots in the city. They are
most too large for an axe to cut
down. They need the attention
of the public very badly just
now.
Wonders never cease. Saw a
citizen having some weeds cut
down on his vacant lot a few
days ago unattended by any of
ficer of any kind. Some how they
will do these things.
Judge Cox"made an address to
the voters of this county Satur
day at the Court House that was
very well attended. Judge Cox
ia a splendid orator and his
friends think that his campaign
is in good shape. This is the most
interesting feature !<>f the years
politics.
i °
The state institutions have not
been getting very much for their
support this year for the plain
and simple reason that the state
has had no money for them-
There is no question that they
need it very bad in some in
stances but they are not going to
get all they need by a jug-full.
o-
A few more days and the 1916
session of the legislature will be
at an end and while it has been
criticised a great deal by the
papers they really did turn out
some good legislation. There is a
de9ire on the parts of the mem
bers to handle the state’s money
-carefully despite all reckleness
charged to them.
Tom Felder was the stage hero
4o the last. His name is the
most despised in the state today
and it does look like he would
-have the good judgement to keep
in the back ground some what
after seeing his stunt of stabbing
actually charged to him by the
■people that have so little confi
dence in anything that he would
da
We are informed that Hon. Jce
Pottle, candidate for Governor
wiH soon get into this county for
a series of speeches. Mr. Pottle
is looked on as the most able
stump speaker in the state and
his audiences have been some of
the largest of the year. There
are very few orators that equal
Joe Pottle on any subject. Those
who differ with him in this race
agree to to very marked talent
on his part.
GLAD OF IT.
We do not disguise our pleasure
at the action of the house yester
day in giving the Treutlen new
county bill its solar piexus. It
was what we thought a level
headed legislature would do. We
trust there will be no successful
effort at recommitting this mea
sure or of getting it before the
house again under any tactics by
which such things are sometimes
done.
If the gentlemen in the house
and senate want to go back home
and run upon a platform having
as it principal plank the creating
of the new county of Treutlen
they have our permission to so.
—Savannah Press.
We wish to ask all our friends
that have advertisements for the
next month to try and get them
in the office in time and give the
force chance to handle their
work right. The last days of the
campaign are on hand and we
want lo treat everybody right,
giving all the best space that we
can when we have the chance.
COMPLETE RESIDENCE
MADE IN GEORGIA IS
SUPPED 10 EDEECE
"Made in Georgia” houses are
to be used in Greece, according
to a letter received by The Firing
Line from Lloyd F. Farrar, oi
the Farrar Lumber Company,
Dalton, Ga.
Less than two weeks ago the
company loaded a complete,
‘‘Farrar Made” house on board a
big automobile car, and consigned
the shipment to the Baltic Ter
minals, New York City. From
the terminals the house is to be
transferred to the ship Themis-
tocles and by the steamer taken
to Athens, Greece, for use there.
The house is two stories, and
complete in every detail. With
the shipment went detailed in
struction as to just how the house
is to be erected and put together,
ready for occupancy.
In his lettei Mr. Farrar says,
“We feel very much encouraged
by this demand for ready-built
houses in foreign countries, and
we hope that foreign ships will
soon be laden with Georgia-
made goods.”
So tar as known, this is the
first time a complete house has
been shipped to such a distant
point.

People with kidney ills want
to be cured. When one suffers
the tortures of an aching back,
relief is eagerly sought for.
There are many remedies today
that relieve, but do not cure.
Don’s Kidney Piffs have brought
lasting results to thousands.
Here is Bainbridge evidence of
their merit.
Mrs. N. C. Sapp, 2'Jo Planters
Street, Bainbridge, says: “For
several years my kidneys were
weak. 1 let the trouble run on
until k kept getting worse and
during the winter especially, I
was brothered a lot. The kidney
secretions were to fr.equnt and
scanty in passage and caused me
a great of annoyance. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at
the Ehrlich Drug Co., aured
me. I have not had any kidney
trouble sinee.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy

statement made by Mrs. G. W.
Williams, of Gadsden, Alabama,
is in many respects so remark
able as to be almost incredible.
Her complete statement follow’s:
‘‘For nearly fifteen years I
have had kidney trouble and
I also had stomach trouble and
suffered from nervous indiges
tion. I could take no nourish
ment except a little sweet milk
and would have palpitation of
the heart and nervous headaches
and terrible pains in my sides
and back. I got so weak I had
to take to my bed and I stayed
there 18 months. Doctors called
two or three times a day, but I
kept getting worse and fell off
until I was almost a skeleton
and to be turned in bed and only
weighed 90 pounds.
“My husband spent more than
•1800 trying to get me well. Fin
ally, I got so bad I was told that
1 could live only a few days. I
believed, of course, that I was
going to die and told my hus
band to telegraph to Thomas ville,
N. C., for my son and to At
lanta and Birmingham for my
other children.
When my daughter-in-law,
Mrs. R. C. Nelson, arrived from
Atlanta, she begged father to
get me Tan lac. He went right
dowrn to Vance’s Drug Store and
got me a bottle. I began taking
it and on the second day I be
gan to get hungry and asked for
something to eat. They gave it
to me, and it agreed with me and
I have been eating ever since.
After a short time I got so I
could eat anything I wanted and
just as much as I wanted.
“After this I improved right
al«ng and it wasn’t any time
hardly before I was out of bed.
It just seemed like the more
Tanlac I took the better I got,
and I have actually gained 48
pounds in weight. I sleep good
now and am not nervous any
more Ike I was. Yes, I feel al
most as well as I ever felt in my
life and am doing my housework
and milk and churn.
"After I got able to go about
I visited my daughter, Mrs.
Short, at Ensley, Ala., and have
just returned from a trip to the
store. I don’t do anything hut
talk Tanlac. All of my neigh
bors are talking about it, too,
and think it is wonderful how
this medicine has helped me.”
