Another Douglas Case!
Time-tested by * Doinglas Resident.
Just another report of sickness and
suffering relieved by Doan’s Pills.
Another Dougins case that tells of
lasting benefit. What can be more
convincing? r Thousands recommend
Doan’s for backache, rheumatic pains,
headaches, dizziness and distressing
urinary disorders. Doan’s are a stim
! ulant diuretic to the kidneys. They
have helped thousands and should help
you. A Douglas case:
Jno. T. Rowland, tax collector, City
Hail, says: “The muscles in my back
got lame and stiff and a sharp pain
caught me in my back when I least
expected it. My kidneys were weak in
action. Doan’s Pills rid me of the
trouble.”
Mr. Rowland gave the above state
ment April 9, 1918 and on April 19,
1922, he added: “I have oeen free
from kidney ailment and give Doan’s
the credit for curing me.”

dealt so much with home religion,
where in lies three fourth’s of all'
our law breaking—slack home dis
cipline; disobedient to parents means
disobedient t<j teachers and later to
state laws. The results will be deep
and abiding. The visible results were'

THE SOLOMON REUNION
April srh, 1025, marked a day
never to be forgotten by M r - and
Mi's. J. G. Solomon, their, children,
many other relatives and scores of
friends. Mr. J. G. Solomon, the
father, was seventy-seven year's of
age dnd his wife and children \CSshed
to celebrate it. This they did with
a sumpturous barbecue. A famdy, re
union is a sacred occasion in thy.t it
brings to mind many pleasant and
sad happenings connected with many
absent and others gone to the great
reunion. This particular occasion
was more sacred than usual coming
as it did on Sunday. The guests be
gan coming early and remained late.
Mr. Solomon the host and honoree
wps so happy'; he spent the day wel
coming an chatting with friends. He
said he felt well as over and indeed,
he looked seventy-seven years young.
Hi;; wife, formerly Miss Julia Ryals,
motherly and so solicit
ous about her numerous guests every
coir fort. Mrs. Solomon’s brother,
Mr. J. S. Royal of Kirkland, was there
who was 70 years old; Mr. Pink
Carver a guest, wa3 77; Mr. Rob
Ryals another aged gUQSt of 80 years.
The vhildren present were: Mr. and
Mjrs. W. M. Solomon of Axson, Mr.
and*Mrs. M. J. Taylor of Kirkland,
Mr.’and Mrs. J. W. Buchan of Am
brose,’ Mrs. J. A. Solomon, Mr. and
Mrs. M. C. Carter, Ambrose, Mrs. A.
E. Harris, Broxton, Mr. and Mrs. J
E. Volomon, Broxton, Mr. and Mrs.
S. 1)^,Solomon. Miss Pearl Solomon
wh >• if with her parents and did so
mutdiHo make the day* a success. Mr.
and<Mrs. H. S. Solomon of Dahlonega
Ga., and Mrs. A. D. Lott, of Fair
field, Fla., were' the absent childrefl.
.There was a J total of llp relatives,
friends were there from’ far an.
near—Willacoochee, Pearson, Doug
las, Kirkland, Axr.on, Bushnell, Am
brose and Broxton.
The pleasant and happy conversa-|
tions were mingled with music,!
prayers and a short sermon at the I
noon hour by Rev. T. H. Rasmussen,
a traveling preacher of Norway. Mr.
J. W. Buchan of Ambrose directed
the music, mostly sacred favorites
that all the people joined heartily
in. Selections sung by Rev. Rasmus
sen, played his own guitar accom
paniments, were much enjoyed.
A Beautiful Scene.
At one o’clock from the wide spa
cious halls, rooms and porches of the
pretty country home, the guests were
seen winding their way to the yard;
under four immense trees dolled up
|in .their pretty, new spring green
dresses for the occasion, it seemed,
was a long table beautiful to look
upon and satisfying to the inner man.
In addition to the barbecue, neigh
bors lent a helping hand and had
lovingly prepared cakes, pies, cus
tards, pickles and most every con
ceivable eatable, this with Mrs. Solo
mons fuR stored away pantry, made
the tables literally groan under their
load and two hundred more would not
have unloaded them.
From a large table was served
steaming hot coffee; just across from
this table, hard by, was
The old oaken bucket
The moss covered bucket
The iron bound bucket
That hung on the well
from which every one slaked their
thirsty lips after chicken, fish, sau
sage, Brunswick stew aad various
barbecue meats.
We are sure many joined in to
help mske the day the success it
was, wish we had their names. Mr.
Jesse Solomon was one. Jim Clark,
a good old colored who has
prepared several successful barbe
cues on Mr. Tyler’s farm, made the
Brunswick stew and supervised- the
barbecued meats. The many friends
and relatives are thankful for the
pleasures of the day and join in wish
ing Mr. Solomon and his good wife
many returns of the happy day.
Rev. J. C. G. Brooks left for his
home in Dublin last Thursday night.
His visit here where he taught school
twenty years ago and first brought
his wife a bride, seemed to be much
enjoyed by him. Not any more than
his friends here to have him. He in
company with Rev. Drake and Rev.
Martin were dined continuously t for
the noon and evening meals. Apart
from his sermons his presence in the
community for the ten days was a
blessing.
