SUFFERED FOR TWENTY YEARS “For twenty years I have suf fered with catarrh in m.v head and throat. Everybody who know me, and I know a great many of people, knows this to be a fact,” said C. F. Cartwright, who lives in Alton Park, Chattanooga, Tenn. “Every night my head would be so stopped up I could hardly breathe, and I would have a choking feeling and shortness of breath that nearly drove me wild, I guess I had catarrh of I he stom ach, too, becausel had indigestion most of the time. In fact I have not had a well day for years, and have been so nervous and restless I simply dreaded to see night come, because I could not sleep, and to tell the truth, I was so weak and run down I have not been able to do any work for I don’t know how long. No kind of medicine, and I took nearly every thing, seemd to help me a particle until I heard of this Tan lac. My son-in-law induced me to try it, he said he had been hearing lots about it. “I have used two bottles of the medicine, and am proud to say I believe I am as well and strong as I ever was. My appetite and digestion have improved and I am gaining right along. I sleep good at night and can breathe fine. Ino longer have those chok ing, smothering sensations like I used to have. “Everybody certainly ought to know about this medicine, for it surely has done wonderfully for me. The only thing I hate is that I did not hear about it years ago, as I believe it would have aaved me lots of suffering.” Tanlac is sold in Jackson exclu sively by Slaton Drug Cos. and in Flovilla by Dr. A. F. White, adv WRITES OF RICHARO SPEAKE, A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER A few days ago I wandered to the hills and woods out in Iron Springs district and out there where the soft winds whisper and the trees murmur, I came across an old cemetery and in looking through it we came to a newly erected monument. And thereon we found these words -10 CENT “CASCARETS” BEST LAXATIVE FOR LIVER AND ROWELS Don’t dtay constipated, headachy, bilious, with breath bad or stomach sour.

Then all memories came up from Valley Forge, King’s Mountain and Bunkers Hill, and then a whisper came and said: “Here lies one who, when battles raised each war like band and carnage loud his trumpet blew, gave his services to the call of his country.” And on some inquiry we find that this newly erected monu ment is the result of the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the inscription thereon has recently been taken from the records of the War De partment at Washington, D. C. And on further inquiry we find the following descendants of Richard Speake in Butts countv: Grandchildren, Joseph Jolly: great grandchildren, W. D. Jolly, Jesse T. Jolly, Mrs, J. D. Jones, Mrs. Lucy J. Maddox.

C., Jan. 15— That sixty-six of ihe 144 national banks in Georgia are among those that are charging usurious rates of interest on loans is one of the disclosures that John Skel ton Williams, comptroller of the currency, will make Monday af ternoon before the rules commit tee of the house.
