Lucine Spivey says she is going to write regularly now, that school is over. Bessie and Gertrude Burkett, of Burketttown, were in town last Sat urday. Lucena Spivey has grown to be a big girl. Just as nice as a new shin plaster. There will be a new county rally and farmer’ union meeting at Pear son today. Editor Pharr, of the Pearson Trib une, was in town Tuesday afternoon enroute to Vidalia. Rev. T. B. McCranie, of Adel, will preach at Salem next Saturday and Sunday. Public invited, Suppose you take yoiil* wife or sweetheart out to West Green, to the enterainment, tonight, and help the ladies. I didn’t make any noise out at In man, but I did a good deal of looking, thinking and putting two and two to geher. Why don’t Tishie Harper (I mean the Tishie with the striped dress), write some time. Maybe I’ll see her tomorrow. Dan Vickers says he has twenty acres in a fine watermelon patch. When Pauline brings, me a fine one, then I’ll know. The Sunday School Convention of the Smyrna Baptist Association will be held at Sand Hill fhurch on the first Sunday in July. Mrs. Riley O’Steen came to see me Saturday. Just picked a time when her husband was out on the road, too. See that, don’t you? When a girl refuses to sit on a chair, but sits on a table and puts her foot on the chair, it is a sign that she is willing o get married. There’s a Chero Cola truck that goes down about Stokesville every Sunday, and it is not loaded with bottles of Chero Cola, but boys. There’s another girl down near Stokesville that will “loop the loop” between now and syrup boiling time, the little bird whispers. Mrs. Elizabeth White, mother of Geo. W. White, our linotype man, is on a visit to her son and his estimable wife, for a few weeks. Remember that the Sunday School Convention will be held at New Hope Ambrose, tomorrow. The program was published last week. Fannie Paulk gets prettier and smarter every day of her ; fe. She’ll make some fellow’s heart flutter like u leaf in six or seven years. Ben Tanner, who has been suffering with rheumatism for some time, was in town Saturday. He is still on his crutches and suffers a good deal. Cager Vickers and Mary Gillis, down at Stokesville, were married last Sun day. I have been expecting for some time they were fixing to loop the loop. Perhaps you didn’t know that Doc tor Ralph Stevens was in town for the past two weeks. Don’t know whether he intends to roll pills or saw bones. That was not Miss Nola Johnson that said, in a recitation, that Aunt Sallie ate apples until they gave her a pain under her apron string. It was her sister. Cactus, good old chum, came to see me last Saturday. She has been sick, she says, and hasn’t written to me or been o see me for some time. I was glad to see her. Among the nice young men I saw at Inman last week, was Roy Sutton, and one of the most popular young ladies present was Pearlie Corbitt. Very suggestive. The sing out at Blystone last Sun day was not as big a success as they usually have out there. There was some misunderstanding and cross pur poses, I am tod. There w’as a fellow’ sticking to Eva Sapp, up at Blystone, last Sunday, like a caterpillar to a collard leaf. I am not sure that I am going to put up with that, either. The man that failed to clean out his cotton and corn crops during the long dry spell must have been sick or foolishly lazy, and he may get into trouble with grass. Get your car ready for a trip to the singing convention at Burktet church tomorrow. Those Burkett girls have been practicing for the past ten days and will do good singing. Rev. Seab Taylor, of West Green, preached out at the Ward school house near Dan Vickers, last Sunday. He promised to have Pauline come and carry me out there next time. My Blystone chum, Little Rose Bud, says her chief employment now is picking briar berries and milking the cows. That’s fine. Briar berries and : milk go mighty nice. I’m coming, j Mamie and Belle Courson came to see me last Saturday, so they would have me believe, but I am inclined to think there’s some boys in the ehero cola plant that they wanted to see. T. J. Lindsey, one of our successful farmers and a mighty good fellow, his wife says, pinned a cotton bloom on the lapel of my coat last week. He has about 36 acres of fine long cotton. Mack McKinnon and his faithful old lady were in town last Saturday. She goes along with him to keep him straight, ha 9 a job, but she has been with him so long that she knows his i trickery. Alma Moore, up on No. 4, went fish ing last Saturday, caught some fish, ( tried to eat them up before I got there Sunday and was choked on a bone, jlf she was not a good girl 1 would 1 say “goodie.” My friends, Mr. and Mrs. Foxworth, of Ambrose, were in town last Satur day. Mrs. Foxworth kept her hus band in sight all the time, for she has lived with him long enough to know his foxy tricks. First thing you know, Mattie, Eflie, Sibbett, Johnie and myself are going to strike out for Green Cove Springs. Johnnie and Mattie are going to duck Ruthie, and I am going to stand by and say hurrah! Dr. Roberts says a good name for the club and park, out on Seventeen, should be “Bohemian Park.” The la dies of the city are making arrange ments to have the place raided on the night of its initial opening. Mary Neugent has a fine receipt for making potato pudding, and she would make some fellow a fine cook, but it depends on his size and worth. Pretty Mary, I’ve known her ever since she had her first rag doll. Last Friday night two or three girls •at Inman school promised to write to me regularly, and if they do, and some from other sections do the same, the Note Book will not fall off in the news, even if schools are all closed. Letha Starling, who taught school ! at Burkett, closed up and quit with a fine showing, and is now teaching ! music at Arnie. She keeps too busy jto allow a fellow to do any courting. She may have some leisure about cane grinding time. Mae Corbitt had some kind of a job i keeping Melva from climbing that 1 pole last Friday. Bothof those girls j are 18-carrot, fine and perfect little ladies. The only trouble I have with i them is to find out which one I love the best —both, I reckon. | The Board of Education went out Ao New Forest last Monday, and got | there just in time to get their dinner, j Some of he children made some nice I recitations. Mr. Floyd made some in- I structions and explanations, and there was a nice little meeting. ! Little Willie Henderson, near Pear son, of whom I have spoken before, i one side of his face and head being ( covered with a cancerous sore, grows worse each day, Bessie says, in a ! letter this week. There seems to be j no help for the little fellow. Henry Spivey came in here on last Wednesday with his feathers all ruf fled up, because somebody had been in his smoke-house and carried off several sides of bacon without permis sion. Now, if Henry had brought a side of that bacon to me when I asked him, it would ■not have been stolen. That Rambling man over at Mill wood goes down to McDonald every Sunday and Wednesday nights, I m told. Joined the Stokesville or Mt. Zion Sundfly school I reckon, and then goes back for prayer meeting Wed nesday night. I am glad to note this change in him for better. It was needed. Did you ever go on an excursion when there wasn’t a dozen or fifteen young fellows on the train that would not sit down, but kept a parade up and down the aisles of the coaches all the time? Just wanted everybody to know that the excursion was a success because they were on board. Notice the next time you go. A pretty lady at the Grand last Mon day night said to me, “Oh yes, I saw what you said about me last week,” and just then I couldn’t think who she was, but I said nothing, for she was in a car with seven others. I counted ’em, and that’s why she was bull-doz ing me. Next time she gets lost I won’t find her. So there! Rocher Chappell, the son of Mr. J. D. Chappell, of the chero cola plant, is at home from Emory College for a vacation until September, when he will return to the college. His father intends to keep him in college for the next five years, believing that a thor THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRfV DC UGLAS, GEORGIA, JUNE 10, 1916. ough business education woujl (■ worth more to his son than any mdnby or property he might be able to give him. Messrs. Roberts McDonald, Wil lingham and several others held a mass meeting at the public “keep to the right” post at the intersection of Ward St. and Peterson Ave., last Mon day afternoon, for the selection of a name for the park and club house out at Gaskin Spring. Several were sub mitted, no choice made, and the work of buildin gbridges, etc., is going on I rapidly. 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 tell a woman’s mind. The couple re turned to Denton Monday mornin.g 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. According to the almanac for June, in the Stokesville zone: Annie Gillis is expecting a dark haired fellow to morrow, 11th. There may be a good deal of spooning, and some rain. Mill wood zone: That little cute, black eyed, 97-pound girl, and her best standby wanted to go out to Mount Green to preaching the 18th, but she kicked him because he had been go ing with another piece of calico. Same zone: Editor Borden wanted to go to McDonald, but a fellow from Pearson “beat him to the tank,” and a tele phone told him “nothing doing.” There wasn’t any rain, but deep, heavy growling. New Forest zone: 11th. Lit he Tanner is off for Burkett singing convention. Rats ate up the puff box and she had to powder her nose with NOW ABLE 10 WORK AS! • 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 las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa coochee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy; in Pearson by Drs. Joe and C. W. Cor bett; and in Broxton by J. H. Rod jdenberry; in McDonald, Lochridge & | Lawton; in West Green, Mack’s Drug Store. UNCLE JIM MOVES HIS OFFICE. J. M. Freeman, J.
