Did you ever go on an excursion
when there wasn’t a dozen or fifteen
young fellows on the train that would

won’t find her. So there!

1 saw Myrtice Paulk out at Inman
last Friday night. She didn’t have
much to say to me, only “what did
you publish my letter for?” Just
that away, and I only did it because
I thought it was so sweet, and now
she didn’t like it, and is mad with me.
Well, you never can tell what to do,
and if she doesn’t like me any more,
I am sorry. Guess she won’t write
to me again.
Geo. W. Roddenberry and Miss Inez
Jordan, both of Denton, were married
at Denton last Sunday, and came
down to Douglas and spent the night,
at the Douglas Hotel. The bride is
very pretty, ad it is wonderful how
such a rough looking fellow as George
ever got her to hook up with him, but
there’s one thing certain—you can’t

In well chosen words Superinten
dent Gordon Floyd, at the Inman
school last Friday night, presented
Misses Mae Corbitt, Elsie Taff, Estha
Neugent and Melva Corbitt with cer
tificates, showing that they had gone
through the common school grades,
and were ready now for teachers’ or
collegiate courses. These are four of
the most popular girls in that section,
and it affords me much pleasure to
extend my congratulations in their
success. <» .
In our trip out to Inman last week,
Mr. Gordon Floyd was kind enough to
let me go with him in his car. Fe and
Miss Johnson were on the front seat,
she talked that whole twelve miles,
the car running like lightning, and. in
stead of Gordon keeping one eye on
the road, to keep from breaking our
necks in a run-off, he kept both of
them on her face. Miss Viola Lott
and myself were on the rear seat, the
rapid motion of the car kept her
bouncing on the seat, and when shed
bump up against me she’d say, “oh!”
and I’d say, “ah-h-h ” and I thought
to myself, “dear little girl, you can
bump me as much as you please, and
no one will care.” In fact, I liked it.
Since the recent rains the farmers
are pushing the work of making fine
crops of corn and cotton, peas and
potatoes. Cotton is blooming all over
and in a few days’ ride in
the rural districts you find a good
deal of corn as high as a man’s head.
In some few places corn is beginning
to tassel. You would be surprised,
too, to see so many big potato patches
from one to twenty acres, in different
parts of the county. Taking all to
gether, the prospects for good crops
over this entire section, seems good
and consoling. We may be hadr up
through the summer and compelled to
use blackberries and persimmons for
stomach padding, but look to the fu
ture for full smoke-houses and square
meals. Thank the Lord, there’s al
ways something to be thankful for
jin this life.
The ladies of West Green are hav
ing quite a struggle trying to raise
money to build a Baptist church, and
will have an entertainment at that
place tonight, the proceeds of which
go to that fund, and every man, wo
man and child should attend. It is
Saturday night, and you may think
you cannot spend the time and money,
bat you can, and will, if you have the
interest of your family and town at
heart. Mrs. M. A. Martin and her
committee of ladies have their whole
hearts in the affair, they want and
need the church, and the people ought
to come to their rescue. Won’t the
citizens of Douglas, who have motors,
and who would like to carry their
wives and weethearts to a nice enter
tainment, every character of which
is in the-, hands of a capable artist, go
up, enjoy themselves and help the la
dies in a good cause. It will be ap
preciated, and every dime, quarter or
half a dollar spent with these devoted
ladies, in the cause of Christ, will
i never be missed, and will be like mon
ey put out on compound interest.

H. W. MILLER DIDN’T HAVE USE
OF RIGHT ARM FOR YEARS—
GAINS 13 POUNDS ON TANLAC.
“I am 70 years old and hadn’t been
able to strike a lick of work for over
14 years until I got to taking this
Tanlac medicine,” said Mr. 11. W. Mil
ler, at Jacob’s Pharmacy, Saturday.
“Fourteen years ago I had a terri
ble spell of Typhoid fevfr, and since
that time I hadn’t been able to use my
right arm to do any good. It felt
weak and numb and I had no strength
in it, but I didn’t get Tanlac for this
trouble, as I had no ieda I would ever
be able to us* it again.
"I bought it for kidney trouble,
rheumatism and pains in my back.
Well, it relieved me of these troubles
alright, but, strange to say, it helped
my arm, too. Yes sir, it has actually
made my arm so much better that I
can now do a lot of work—something
I hadn’t been able to do in all these
years. I don’t know how to account
for it, but that’s what actually hap
pened, and all my neighbors who have
known me for years will tell you the
same thing.
“Going back to my other trouble, I
suffered a great deal from my back
and joints, and was so nervous all the
time 1 couldn’t sleep much. Some
times I would get so nervous and
strung up that the least noise would
make me jump out of bed before I
could control myself.
“My stomach was all out of shape,
too, and I couldn’t eat to do any good.
Nothing seemed to taste right, and I
got so finally I would have vometing
spells after trying to eat. To tell
you the truth, I was in a mighty bad
fix and was just getting weaker all
the time. I don’t feel that way now,
and after tftking only three bottles of
this Tanlac, I have gained 13 pounds
in weight, besides my stomach feels
just like I had had a new one put in,
and I eat and sleep just like a school
boy. The rheumatic pains are all gone,
and I am feeling better and stronger
in every way.
“It has helped my wife, too. She is
now on her second bottle, and it is
doing her more good than anything
she has tried in years. She was in
almost as bad a fix as I was and it
has relieved her of ailments she has
had for a long time. Both of us
thing there is nothing too good to say
about Tanlac, and I can understadn
why everybody is talkig about it.”
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug
