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. cactus orrows w reet. “In’ the hot Mexican deserts speci mens of cactus have been known to reach 30 m 40 feet In height J ' ____ buy good gulf kerosene.

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.
