After the roll call and the enroll ment of new members which were Mrs. R. L. Jones and Misses Essie and Bessie Minchew the following poem was given by Mrs. L. L. Denton: The Package of Seed. I paid a dime for a package of seed COFFEE COUNTY PROGRESS WOULDm STOP MK II EVEN SIS 1 BATHE Most Remarkable State ment Yet Received About Remarkable Med icine Comes From At lanta Woman. Many remarkable reports of re covery to health after taking Kar nak have been made since its in troduction here, but the following from Mrs. Dora Turk, 437 Crew St., Atlanta, is without a doubt the greatest tribune yet paid this won derful medicine. “Money couldn't buy the good Karnak has done me,” declares Mrs. Turk. “For 5 years I had the wor.-.t case of stomach trouble any one ever had. My husband spent $3,000 on treatments and trips to health resorts for me, but nothing would help me. For 10 months I lived on celery, peaches, crackers an.! milk, and even these things would nauseate me and make me miserable. I was always coughing up blood and water. “I never could get a good night’s sleep, and I had no more strength and the clerk tossed them out with a flip, “We’ve got ’em assorted for every man’s needs,” He said with a smile on hi 3 lips, “Parsnips and pepper, and cab bage and peas! Ten cents a package! and pick as you please.” Now seeds are just dimes to the man in the store \nd the dimes are the things that he needs; And I’ve been to buy them in season before, 3ut have thought of them merely as seeds. But it flashed through my mind as I took them this time, You have purchased a miracle here for a dime. “You’ve a dime’s worth of power which no man can create You’ve a dijne’s worth of life in your hand You’ve a dime’s worth of mystery,! destiny, fate Which the wisest cannot understand, j In this bright little package, now j isn’t it odd? You’ve a dime’s worth of something j known only to God. “These are seed, but the plants and blossoms are here With their petals of various hues, i In these little pellets, so dry and so j queer | There is power which no chemist can! fuse. Here is one of God’s miracles soon J to unfold, Thus for ten cents an ounce of Di- ' vinity is sold. At this point Miss Buchan took j charge of the meeting and for about j fifteen minutes the club girls sat j spell bound listening to the interest-j ing things concerning “Camp Wil- j kins”, at Athens, the home of the | l club girls and boys of Georgia, which Miss Buchan told in s most compet ing manner, emphasizing the import ance of attending these short courses each year when some of the most dis tinguished educators of the day will j be employed to instruct, teach and j lecture on every phase of club work, J besides having the privilege of visit- j ing and inspecting poultry end dairy] farms where the most accurate rec- ] ords are kept. There will be hikes | and visits to all historic places of in terest, as well as picture shows calist henics and a visit to the ice cream factory where you not only enjoy seeing how the cream is manufacrur- ■ td but sampling its duality. How our hearts swelled with pride ; as Miss Buchan told of the equip-I n m! of the home which was furnbih ed by the home demonstration > j agents throughout the State, from the proceeds obtained from cooking i schools. How grateful we are to Mrs. j A. S. Bussey for her untiring efforts in our county last year and the part Coffee county had in helping to fur nish the club girls and boys home is due largely to her efforts. Begin now to plan for June 29th, when club members from all over the county will meet in Douglas and leave in cars, chaperoned by Miss Buchan, for Camp Wilkins to mingle with about 300 other dub members from the Savannah district for the purpose of preparing them selves for more efficient club work. SIO.OO cash will defray all expenses for the entire week including board transpor tation charges, etc. Sneakers, sun hat, wash dresses and toilet articles are all that are needed for this weeks vacation in which club work will have full sway. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah f r camp Wilkins! The most beau tful and modern club members home in any si«:e in the Union. Let than a kitten. Life was just a i hopeless drag for me, and if I even tried to sweep the room I would soon be gasping for breach and feel like 1 was going to smother I lost weight continually and became so discouraged I had given up hope of ever seeing another well day. “About two -weeks ago my hus band bought me a bottle of Kar nak, and you can just imagine how besides myself with joy I was when, after taking a few doses, I began to feel better. Why, I ac tually ate a real meal for the first time in five years, and it didn’t hurt me a bit. “Now, since taking two bottles, I feel entirely well. I have gained 10 pounds already and feel at least 20 years younger. My neighbors are all marveling at my recovery, and I will never stop praising Kar nak to my dying day. My husband feels just like I do about Karnak, and he wouldn't let me stop taking it if it co3t sls a bottle.” Karnak is sold in Douglas ex clusively by Union Pharmacy; and by the leading druggists in every town. —Advertisement ! each club in the county pledge them j selves to help to keep Georgia in the I lead in club work, i In the Methodist Church, j Great progress is being made in the j Methodist chftrch under the leader i ship of the pastor, Rev.
