THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1921.
SOUTH GEORGIA.
By W. H. Faust
H Several months
ago the writer re
ceived an invita
tion from Rev. A.
N. Morris, pastor
of the Sparks Bap
tist church, to as-
Jist him in a series
of meetings com
. meneing on the 5
•of June and lasting for ten days.
Leaving Monday morning over the
S. A. L. Railway, Atlanta was reached
hud close connection was made over the
<3. S. & F. Ry. to Sparks. Passing thru
the counties of Barrow, Gwinnett, De-
Kalb, Fulton, Clayton, Henry, Butts,
Monroe, Bibb, Houston, Dooly, Crisp,
Turner, Tift and Berrien, we arrived
in Cook the county seat of vrhich is
Adel just two and a half miles below
Sparks.
Crops were good along the route.
Much grain, corn, peanuts, potatoes,
tobacco and cattle were in evidence
and the further south we came the less
cotton we saw.
Sparks is a lovely little town filled
with thrifty, hospitable people. Sparks
Collegiate Institute, one of the leading
Methodist secondary schools of the state
is located here and doing a fine work in
educating the youth of Cook and ad
joining counties.
The turpentine and lumber industries
are prominently to the fore. The trees
are blocked and little cups like flower
pots are hung onto the trees and the
pine juice is caught and carried to the
distilleries.
Large quantities of flowers are seen
-on every hand and tremendous stretch
es of level land with never a hill to ob
struct the view.
The cypress trees grow in abundance
,and remind one of cedars growing on
' top of tubs.
The farmers are otimistic and raise
large numbers of hogs and cattle.
’Thtn\iday was dipping day and droves
■of cattle for miles around were driven
into the vats at Sparks. It was some
interesting sight to watch the cows, big
little, middle-sized, go through the vats.
The ticks are fast going.
I saw one hog that weighed over 900
pounds. He was as big as a mule and
cost $15,000. Some hog to be sure!
Just across the road we saw some real
pine rooters, razor-backs, the type of
hog indigenous to this section. Sparks
is one of the largest cattle centers in
the state.
Dr. Ethridge and family live here.
They are from near Auburn and he is
a fine citizen and a delightful man.
Valdosta is close by. The roads are
line in every direction and it was a de
lightful pleasure to visit Lowndes coun
ty and Valdosta. Valdosta is a much
larger town than I expected to see and
has many splendid business houses, fine
churches and residences. The South
Oeorgia Normal is located in Valdosta,
It has a nely equipped plant and is rap
idly forging to the front as one of the
leading educational institutions.
Rev. R. W. Wallace, formerly pastor
of fhe Disciple church at Winder is
pastor there. It was a pleasure to
meet him in Atlanta on my way down.
He is remembered with great love at
Winder by all regardless of denomina
tional affiliation.
Watermelons —fields of them stretch
ing out and keeping on stretching out—
surely enough if they are put on the
market to give everyone all that could
possibly be used. This section is com
ing rapidly to the front.
***, J never saw such a stupendous road
program on. Every county and station
is busily engaged in constructing the
best grade of highways and the peo
ple are clamoring for more and better
roads. And what is better, they are
-willing to pay for them. I am awful
ly sorry now that I didn't come thru
in my flivver.
Than Rev. A. N. Morris there is no
more excellent pastor in the state. He’s
a native of West Virginia, scholarly,
co“ ‘'-vative and orthodox. His peo
phHf C ily appreciate him for his great
worth and ability.
Am a guest in the home of Dr. Lovett,
one of the leading physicians of the
county. It is pleasant, indeed, to be
in such a cultured home and to enjoy
the bountiful hospitality of bis fine
family composed of his wife and three
boys.
While Sparks is about one-fourth as
large as Winder it has about ten times
as much pavement. But, then, we are
coming at Winder, and a big cotton
crop with good prices will enable us
to get back to normal and again have
more of our streets.
I might say before closing that occa
sionally one sees a few gnats and mos
quitoes but they are not as bad as you
might think. But one badly wants to
see a real north Georgia spring and get
a good drink of north Georgia water,
the real article.

FELT LIKE AN IRON
BAND ’ROUND HEAD
Mrs, Osborne Sys She Shudders When
She Thinks How She
Suffered.
“For years,” said Mrs. Y’. B. Osborne
of 718 Lancaster Ave., Lexington, Ky.,
“I have been in a run down condition
nervous, weak and dizzy. I was act
ually so nervous that any sudden noise
or excitement would produce a palpi
tation of my heart that frightened me.
I absolutely could not climb stairs, for
to attempt such would thoroughly ex
haust me.
“I had nervous headaches and when
they came on it seemed that an iron
bgnd was drawn around me head. I
now shudder when I think of those
headaches. My stomach was weak and
I could not digest the lightest liquid
food. Any food of a solid nature caus
ed nausea and the sickening sensation
remained for hours.
“My misery was almost unbearable.
My sleep was never sound and I was
worn out all the time. My condition
was Indeed a very deplorable one. I
finally sought treatment in Cincinnati
but nothing helped me one particle. I
was on the verge of giving up in de
spair when a neighbor pleaded with me
to try Tanlac. I obtained a bottle of
the medicine and began its use.
“I began improving at once and soon
felt nervousness and dizziness disap
pearing. Then my headaches left me
and I realized my strength had return,
ed. My appet |te digestion im
proved and I am now so much better
in every way. This Tanlac is a won
derful medicine and the only one that
ever really helped me. I hope every
poor woman who is suffering as I did
will try it.”
The Home of the Soul.
In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain’s Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en
able it to perform its functions natur
ally. Give them a trial. They only
cost a quarter. Advt.
