BENTLY FAMILY REUNION!
On last Sunday morning Mr. Ho
mer Bently very kindly drove up to
my door and invited me to a seat
in a carriage and drove me over to
his mother’s home, on the Alcovey
in Walton county.
The occasion of this visit was the
family reunion meeting to celebrate
the 75th birthday of the good moth
er, -Mrs. Fanny C. Bently.
As we left Winder we felt just a
hit restless on account of the threat
ening rain, but happily it passed off.
When we reached Reeves’ mill on
the Appalachee and crossed, the. "writ
er was in an unknown country to
himself. Old residences were pointet
out as w’e went along. Soon we came
to a pretty little village and found
it to be Bold Springs; two stores,
a ginnery, a shop, several residences
and two churches compose the im
provements, save pretty fields well
cultivated and many of them planted.
On we go, soon we get into a
more hilly country and as we glide
down a hill they point to the Alco
vy river just in iront and ere we
g(t to the bridge we stop for here
is the home of the good mother and
grandmother we wish to honor with
our visit.
There were present quite a crowd
of relatives and friends who met and
greeted us very cordially. The good
mother seemingly in the best ot
health and gay in spirit, met and
made each one feel a welcome. Whei
tlie opportunity presented itself we
began to inquire of the family gen
eaology. We found that Fanny C.
Bentley was born in Fayette coun
ty, April 16, 1841, and wed Isaac H.
Bently, who was born in Walton Cos.
and wed in 1861.. He died July 15,
HioB. The father of Isaac H. Bent
ly was the son of a German gentle
man known as James Bently; he wet
a Miss Boss, who was a cousin of
Dr; Boss of Monroe, and she has
relatives in Barrow county.
The father was A. B. Davies of
Franklyn county. The mother was
Alice ltosser, a daughter of Rev.
Isaac Rosser, who made Decatur his
home. This gentleman was an Eng
lishman who wed Elizabeth Vincent.
The grandfather of Fanny C. Bent
ly was Thomas Davis, who wed a
Miss Horn buckle.
The children born to bless this
union of Isaac H. and fanny (
Bentley are:
William 1., who wed Elizabeth
Bulloch.
Ludie, who wed S. Smith, Road
Supt. of Walton county.
Charley It., who wed Lenora Hes
ter.
James R., who wed Mattie Sorrel,
and later Mattie Swords.
W. J., who wed Elsie Brooks.
Mattie, who wed W. D. Still.
Bessie, who wed 1). A. L. Still.
A. M., who wed Emma Wallace.
Homer L., who wed Alice Birts
andfive in Winder.
Estelle, who wed L. M. Watson, of
Loganville.
Of this good lady’s descendants
there are 11 children living, 60 grand
children and 7 great grand children.
The dinner hour arriving there
was a yard full of little folks and
big folks, something like an hun
dred and fifty, and nearly all were
related. The table was spread in
the yard and loaded almost to its
capacity in weight of meats, pies,
cakes, custards, Brunswick stews,
flavored to suit the most fastidious
taste. It was a feastal board that
spake a great honor to the fair wom
en who prepared these delicious dish
es. i wish I had space to say l some
thing nice of each one present, but
suffice to say this good woman a<l
mother seem to have many years yet
for her sojourn here.
One interesting part of the day
was a lot of her children took a
pillow, placed it upon a sixteen-foot
plank, then seated the mother on
the pillow und carried tier around
the house, amid the shouts and the.
laughter of those present. The good
lady seemed to enjoy the fun as
much as any one. The writer en
joyed the day immensely and hopes
to be able in the future to visit
these hospitable people on the hills
that sheds her waters into the val
ley of the Alcovey.

HAD NO HOPE
OE RETURNING
Went to Atlanta Six Weeks Ago
Propped Up on Pillows —Takes
Tanlac and Gains 35 Pounds
About ten days ago J. B. Battle
went into Jacobs’ Pharmacy at Atlan
ta to get a bottle of Tanlac for his
sister-in law, Mrs. O. C. Cason, who
lives some distance out, near Ac
worth. While making the purchase,
Mr. Battle told of the wonderful im
provement in Mrs. Cason’s condition
since she began using the medicine
about six weeks ago.
He also made the statement that
Mrs. Cason felt so grateful for the
wonderful benefit she had received
that she wanted to make a public
statement, as she felt it her duty to
tell the whole world about Tanlac.
He then suggested that I)r. Elder,
the Tanlac representative at Jacobs’
call at his residence for a personal
interview.
When Dr. Elder called at Mr.
Battles’ residence on English avenue,
the following morning, it happened
that Mr. Battle himself met him at
the door and very cordially invited
him into his living room. Mrs. Ca
son, who was bright and happy, soon
made her appearance and began
with delight to tell of the wonder
ful recovery of her health, and her
statement will go down in history as
being one of the most remarkable
ever given a proprietary medicine*
Here is her story in hdr own words:
“About six weeks ago 1 left my
home on our farm near Acworth, Ga.,
to come to my sister's home here in
Atlanta, and I left with only a shad
ow of iiope of ever returning alive
to my home and husband.
"I left Acworth,” she continued,
“in a comfortable automobile, propp
ed up on pillows, coming through the
country. I had almost as much med
icine as 1 had baggage—a big box
full of all kinds of medicines that
had been prescribed for me. 1 reach
ed here very weak and exhausted,
and with scarcely enough strength
to walk to the door. This trouble,
from which I had suffered so long,
had reduced me to almost a shadow,
as I only weighed 60 pounds.
“My brother-in-law, Mr. Battle,
said: ‘Well,-y you have tried every
thing else with no relief, now 1 want
you to lay aside your “drug shop”'
and take Tanlac.’ Of course, I was
willing to try it, for the medicine is
the talk of the whole country. Well,
lie got it for me and 1 started on my
first bottle that day.
“When I had taken about half of
the first bottle I began to feel stron
ger and encouraged. 1 continued to
take it and it is nothing short of mar
velous how I improved day by day.
I felt myself further and further from
the grave. My appetite returned and
my food seemed to nourish me and
agree with hme. My skin and com
plexion began clearing up and 1 im
proved in every way possible until
I am now a well woman, and when I
say well, I mean, absolutely what 1
say. 1 want to tell the whole world
that 1 thank God for Tanlac.
"1 weigh 95 pounds now and feel
as well as 1 ever felt in my life. 1
am going hack to my husband and
home on the little farm five miles
from Acworth tomorrow, and, Won’t
it be a joyful meeting, returning to
my husband and home absolutely
well and happy—and won’t 1 tell ev
erybody about what Tanlac has done
for me?”
"Yes, it is just like she says,”
chimed in Mr. Battle about this
time, "Tanlac has simply robbed
the grave, and if you could have
seen her when she started on this
medicine you would say the same
thing.
”1 didn’t know at the time just
what her trouble was, but the doc
tors said she had pellagra. She may
have had it, for all 1 know, but there
is one thing certain, she hasn't got
it now, or at least you wouldn’t
tHink so if you could watch her eat.
1 told her, jokingly, the other day,
that she was eating me out of house
and home. 1 don't guess there ever
was a case like hers, and there is
one thing certain, you can count on
us telling everybody about it, be
cause 1 fully believe she owes her
life to tills medicine today.” 5
Tanlac is sold in Winder by Dr.
G. W De La Perriere, and in Beth

College Assists In Getting
Eggs to Best Market
W. S. Dilts, Instructor Department Of
Poultry, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture.
“Egg routes” are being established
at various places in Georgia in con
nection with cream routes, for the
purpose of assembling eggs at given
shipping points. At these centers
proper attention to grading and pack
ing can be given so that the eggs can
be sent off to the best-paying market.
Recent experiments with high-class
Georgia eggs sent in 30 dozen packs
to the city of New York, revealed that
after express and commission has
been deducted, the net return to the
shipper was very much greater than
could be obtained in local markets.
While it is not expected that the or
dinary run of eggs obtained on an
“egg route” will bring as much as this
particularly fine lot, yet it is quite
certain that there will be no trouble
to net at least five cents more on the
dozen than can be found on local mar
kets in Georgia.
The egg routes have been associat
ed with the cream routes, one person
finding it easy enough to collect both,
thus reducing the expense of collec
tion. It costs from V/ 2 to 2 cents per
dozen to collect, sort and pack for
shipment the eggs that are being re
ceived from these routes. Collections
are being made from two to three
times a week, thus permitting eggs to
go fresher to market than country
eggs usually do.
Selecting Cotton
Resistant to Boil Rot
Loy E. Rast, in Charge of Cotton In
dustry, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
Fifteen varieties of cotton have
been tested for two years at the Col
lege of Agriculture to determine their
resistance to anthracnose or boll rot.
The results of two years have been
obtained for only eight varieties. The
order in which they stand as to re
sistance of anthracnose is as follows:
College No. 1, Sunbeam No. 60, Cooks,
Modella, Sunbeam No. 80 Half and
Half, Toole, Simpkins. Among those
showing up well under the one year’s
test are Lewis, Dixie and Cleveland.
In testing these varieties for resist
ance, it was made quite certain that
all had an opportunity of being infect
ed. A variety known to he infect
ed and very poor in resistance was
planted in alternate rows with the
varieties mentioned. They were thus
subject to the severest lest, that could
occur under field conditions. That
the disease was prevalent and very
active is shown by the total destruc
tion of one variety that is very sus
ceptible, during the last year. Col
lege No. 1 showed only 2.9 per cent
of diseased bolls, Sunbeam 4.6 per
centage of diseased bolls, Cooks 5.7,
Modella 6.3, Sunbeam 80 6.6, Toole
and Simpkins 6.5, Half and Half a
total loss for the year 1915.
TO ASSIST FARMERS WITH
BUILDINGS, SILOS. ETC.
Guy R. Jones, graduate of the Uni
versity, class of 1915, has been ap
pointed to do extension work in agri -
cultural engineering. In this capac
ity he will assist farmers in design
ing farm buildings, in constructing
silos, in farm drainage and in select
ing farm machinery. His work be
gan April 1. Enough work is already
in hand to keep Mr. Jones busy for
six months.

“X found immediate relief In the nee
of Foley Kidney Fills, have recom
mended them, and do not know of a
single instance when they failed to
give relief.”
C. U. Landrum, a traveling salesman,
•writes from San Angelo, Texas: "Driv
ing over rough roads and in all kinds
of weather gave me acute pains in the
back and I suffered greatly. I found
relief in the use of Foley Kidney Pills,
and before the first bottle was used,
the pain in my back had entirely disap
peared and I have had no recurrence of
those pains which frequently amounted
to almost neuralgic proportions.”
When backache comes on, and it
seems as if you can’t stand the pain
and pressure in your back, you will find
quick and grateful relief comes with
the use of Foley Kidney Pills. They
stop the cause of the pain, ease the
stiff aching joints and muscles, and
clear the poisons out of your system
by helping your kidneys and bladder to
vriaal healthy action. s
