Born!
A
Southern
Gentleman!
It was midnight, cold and dark. The cal
endar told the date—Monday, November
4th, 1901. They tell me I opened my eyes
and blinked in the glare of the big electric
lights. Around me were men in spotless
white talking in low tones.
“Jim,” one said, “we have been watching
for this little fellow for a long while and
now he’s here.”
“Gentlemen,” he said,“He is perfect. Qual
ity does tell. You can’t fail to recognize
good blood. His mother was a Virginian,
his father an aristocrat of the Carolinas.
He comes from the very best stock—the
very sweetest, ripest, mellowest Virginia
and Carolina tobacco, and we will raise him
right in one of the whitest, cleanest, health
iest homes on earth.”
Jim picked me up, looked me over, struck
a match and took a long, deep puff. Then
he took another.
Even then I was glad all over to hear his
words. It is a great thing to have real
breeding behind you, to know who your
folks are. It starts a fellow right.
We Folks of the South KNOW good blood.
We Folks of the South KNOW good tobacco.
That is why I just had to have heaps of friends down South here. I want you t
.Mr. Reader, for one of my friends, and it means a whole lot when I say—
I am guaranteed by V,XXJ —Buy me.
If you don’t like me return me to your dealer and get
your money back. I have said it. A Southern gentleman is known
the world over for keeping his word, and I have given you mine.'

FOR THE GENTLEMAN OF THE
SOUTH

The Methodist Pastor and his
family at Attapulgus appreciate
very much indeed the many ex
pressions of pleasure at their
return for another year, but it
remained for the crowning act to
bp performed a few evenings
since, when about thirty of the
neighbors and friends of the
town and community—members
of the church and others took
the parsonage by storm, march
ing in through the front gate, up
the steps, down the hall, and intc
the dining room, nearly every
one having a bundle or package
of some kind, and when they
finished depositing their pack
ages, for once that table was lad
en with good things to eat—such
things that those who have the
responsibility of providing for a
home can appreciate,
Among the delicious and sub-
stancials brought in was a sure
enough live turkey gobler, and
although not placed on the table
that night, he was nevertheless,
scheduled to arrive at that sta
tion at a later date. Taking in
the situation somewhat, he must
have concluded that his gobbling
days were about over.
When the time came during
the session of the South Georgia
Conference at Quitman, several
years ago, to fix the place for the
Conference for the following
year, Col. Brown of Bainbridge,
gave the invitation for the Con
ference to be held there.
In pressing his invitation, he
mentioned a number of good
things that would be in evidence,
among them would be Mr. Tur
key, and as we now recall the
“Turkey” part of the invitation
it was in the form of a parody
on “America” in something like
the following:

' *'I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without

J. G. Hillman, 543 Calhoun
St., Bainbridge. “The secretions
from my kidneys were too fre
quent and scanty in passage and
broke my rest at night. Often
they were very highly colored
and scalded in passage. My
back felt sore and lame. When
ever this trouble has come on
I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills
and they have soon fixed me up
again.”

So good to me.”
It was a delightful hour, and
more, given to us by our friends
and as much as we appreciate
their thoughtfulness in bringing
good things to the parsonage.
We appreciate even more the
noble, generous spirit, and broth
erly kindness back of the gifts,
and the big-heartedness with
which they entered into it.
When they retired for the even
ing, we could not but follow them
with our prayers to the good
Father that He would richly
bless them for the pleasure they
had given and the kindness
shown,
J. W. Connors and family.
