“Black-eyed Bessie” was at the

going to ask him to let m.e come out
and duck Lucena.
Lucy was not at New Hope Sun

two other fellows were.

cessfully taught school at Inman, de

Mary Neugent; may get married
sometime, but that “depends on the
man, the size, and surroundings.”
I saw the picture of Jim Cowart, of
Millwood, in my Sunday school paper
last week. The picture looked very
well.
I do not care for letters that are
defamatory of any one’s character.
The Note Book does not deal in mud
slinging.
Mack Wooten, Mrs. Wooten and
Eva were in town Tuesday. It was
all I could do to keep Eva from break
ing into jail.
Mr. Chappell, of the Chero Cola
Co., tries to flirt with every girl that
comes to see me. And what is more,
the girls like it.
Two or three of Hatfield’s “boys”
were at New Hope last Sunday. They
were selfish and would not mix up
with the other boys*
Some one has told me that another

soon. Ido not remember who it was
but I am glad to hear it.
John McGovern, who was sick at
Inman school, is well again, thank
goodness, and he and Mrs. McGovern
were in town last Tuesday..
Myrtiee and Mattie Paulk, with a
red-headed fellow, passed through
town last Friday enroute to Broxton
on a visit to relatives and friends.
Little Beulah Adams, about ten
years of age, brought me some nice
plums last Saturday. They were very
nice, but not as nice as the little girl.
John Vickers says school is over
now and he’s going to see if he can’t
teach one of the Inman girls some
thing. The first question will be,
“Invest thou me?”
I don’t know whether I will ever
tie up Miss Duncan and her fellow or
not. The chances are no better than
they were a year ago, for she has a
new fellow every time i see her.
The attendance at the Burkett sing
last Sunday was the largest ever
known, the singing the best, and din
ner the finest and most pletiful. Col.
Lankford and others made speeches.
The 97p-ouncl black-eyed girl at
Millwood says, “she did tell me her
name, but I forgot.” I will not dis
pute her word, but she is the first
girl that ever accused me of forget
ting.
Maude Haralson and her good na
tured father were in town last Sat
urday. Maude is out of school now,
the river is near her home, and I am
going fishing with her the first thing
you know.
The Willacoochee correspondent
hasn’t shown up for two weeks. She

been wondering if it would be nec
essary to sue out a search warrant
for the young lady.
Julian McKinnon has been flying
around one certain girl for three
years without any headway, and is

Know anything about that, Jack?
To look over our whole page of
country correspondents in last week’s
issue, one would not think the closing
of the schools are hurting us much.
The correspondents and myself are
all the ones that know how it’s done.
Capt. Walker, *he efficient road
master of the G. & F., reported last
week that there were only three run

Madison, and those are Alapaha river,
Willacoochee and a small creek neax
Valdosta.
Mrs. C. W. Corbitt, (Big Sis), of
Broxton, was in town on Friday ot
last week, and I have been eating
some of the biggest, finest sausage I

brings the bucket with her every time
she comes.
Cordelia Quinn came to see me the
other day, and when she left there
was a bundle on my desk which con
tained a nice mess of fine wax beans.
The only mess of vegetables brought
us this year, for which Cordelia has
my thanks.
The little “black-eyed girl,” at Mill
wood, who weighs only 97 pounds,
promises to let me “say the word
that will make a Coffee county boy
the happiest in Georgia,” says the
New.f. Oh, ho, and of course tihe
officer kisses the bride!
I was in good company last Sun
day. I was in a car with Mr. and
Mrs. Willie Durst and Mrs. Smith,
and spent one of the best days of
pleasure I have had m ten years.
We went to Ambrose, remained there
until 2 o’clock, then went to Osier
field, Fitzgerald and Oeiiia, getting
home at 6 o’clock.
Mrs. W. A. Martin, of West Green,
writes me that the entertainment at
that place last Saturday night for
the benefit of the church, was a suc
cess. The proceeds amounted to
$19.00, and the ladies are grateful
to everybody. I am very glad to
know the public was so generous in
their encouragement of a laudable
cause.
“The Old Lady,” up at Ambrose,
Rfd. No. 1, says if I will come to the
big meeting up there I can have a
pallet on the floor. My wife beats
that all to pieces. If the house is
crowded, she gives me my supper,
and at bedtime puts a rope around
my neck and ties me to a tree in the
back yard so that I will be handy for
breakfast.
Letha Starling, the girl with the
cornet voice, was in town Saturday
shopping. Did you ever hear her
sing with th corneet? It’s wonder
ful. When she and the cornet are
singing in “C,” and she slops the tone
is the same; if the cornet stops, and
she continues the tone is the same,
in pitch and softness. I have noticed
this two or three times.
The Ware County News says it was
“Miss Addie Mae White who wore a
white dress, white hat, white shoes
and waved a white parasol at me as
I passed through Millwood a week
after the sing, enroute to Waycross.”
Well, if she is ever guilty again, I’ll
have the train stopt«ed, take her on
or get off myself. Gosh, what a
pretty girl! I see right now, I am
compelled to go down to McDonald
to Sunday school, and Superintendent
Mathews is put on notice that I am
coming.
I regret to learn of the death of
John R. Pafford, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Marcus Pafford, of Pearson, on last
Thursday afternoon. He had been ill
for some weeks, I am informed, but
still his death was a shock to his rel
atives and many friends. John was a
“mamma and papa boy,” who he lov
ed with all the strength of his manly
heart. He was a Christian boy, and
those who knew and loved him, have
no fears about his having found rest
and peace in his death. I am one of
those who mourn with his parents
and friends, at his lamented death.
J. C. Roddcnberry, of Broxton, was
in town Tuesday, and looks the very
picture of health, weighs 240 pounds,
and there’s still danger of his re
cuperating. His pantaloons are en
tirely too small in the waist; there
is some danger of his bursting his
hat band, and there's a reason. He
says be never had a finer corn crop
in his life. He has about 100 acres,
laid by, which, with no mishaps, will
average about 25 bushels to the acre.
Just think about it—24o pounds, and
1 have to put a big knife in my
pocket to make my weight squeeze
up to 140.
The Pearson Tribune threatens to
“dig up my past,” and at the very
[‘first dig gets the following: “A good
many years ago ‘Uncle Jim’ Freeman
was attending a revival meeting in
this section. During the services an
experience meeting was held, one of
the good sisters got up and said: ‘1
know I’ve got religion, because I love
lull the brethren.’ Uncle Jim hopped
'up and said: ‘Well, I know I’ve got
j it too, ’cause I love all the sistern.’
I This was too much for the preacher.
| All he could say was, ‘let us pray.’
Uncle Jim has never ceased to love
the ‘sisters.’ ” Of course not. That’s
part of my religion, and when the
sisteren quit this world I will too.
The Sunday School Convention at
New Hope last Sunday was well at
tended. There were people present
from Wray, Fitzgerald, Broxton, Lax,
Douglas, Nicholls and other points.
'The arrangements were complete, but
I being a new organization the people
| did not take on to it much. No out
side schools reported, that I could
learn, but I think there will be by
another meeting. It is not necessary
to mention particular names in this
connection, for it, seemed that all were
united with the intention of making
■a success. No people could do more.
Every one was treated as a special
guest, and every one that was not
unreasonable was simply delighted
with the treatment received. The
only complaint I heard was from Wil
lie Durst, and that was because he
was not big enough around to sample
some of everything he found on the
heavy laden table. He made two
efforts, however, and wants to know
if I think there will be some of the
same kind of eatings when he goes
up there in July?
Mrs. Minnie Wall says she is going
back to Texas next month.
Dr. Pill Roller - Stevens wants* a
good location to commence trouble.
The girls all say “Chero Cola drinks
better since Uncle Jim lives there.”
Frances Lott was the “big injun”
at Inman school, and she’s a mighty
sweet girl at home.
Mrs. M. T. Lucas, down in Ware,
says she wants the Note Book if she
can’t get The Enterprise. She must
have both.
Some of the people in the Wooten
district, up above or about Tom Byrd’s
wants a big sing. Tom says he is
something fierce on singing.
Here it is Thursday morning, and
not a word from the “Old Lady” up
at Ambrose. Bet she let the stove
get too hot and burned up a whole
pan of bread.
Ruthie Houze and Carrie Stalvey
were in town Wednesday, and I was
thinking all the time Ruthie was in
Florida. Hard to keep up with some
girls, isn’t it?
A fellow from Douglas went to see
Georgia Wilcox last Sunday, and
wanted to carry her to the sing, but
she wouldn’t go, although she had
promised that she would.
Mae Quinn came to see me the
other day, and as she went away seen
some other girls coming to see me,
therefore came back next day to see
if they had carried me off.
Myrtice Paulk went to Broxton last
Saturday, intending to return home
Sunday, fooled around, got left, and
didn’t get home until Monday. Don’t
think I’ll let her go up there any
more.
1 have received an invitation to the
wedding of Miss Nola Johnson to Mr.
Curtis Alvin Williams, to take place
at Broxton, on the 26th inst. I m
afraid I w'ill not be there, but I ex
tend congratulations in advance.
Nearly everybody in Coffee county
are, and have been in favor of Pear
son having a new county, until re
cently, when the board of county com
missioners files an objection. It is
safe to assume, however, that their
objection will be overruled.
“Little Rose Bud” says if 1 will
come to see her we would go to church
in her new buggy. Beat that, if you
can. The girls offer all sorts of in
ducements to get me off with ’em,
but hanged if I’m not afraid of them.
A mule and a woman are the trick
iest things on earth —kick before you
know it, by gum.
Little Elmer Scott, sixteen years
[of age, and her brother Willie, twelve
years of age, over in Ware, wants to
know if I “can get off from Coffee
county long enough to come down and
jgo fishing with them on Saturday and
| Sunday.” No, indeed, Bro. Hubert
t would have me up behind the church
I for fishing on Sunday.
There are a number of people driv
ing automobiles in Douglas that has
la contehipt for the law. They often
go 25 to 40 miles an hour, when the
law says 10, have no lights at all,
j when the law says they should have
j two headlights and a red light in the
1 rear. Wwo should see after these
!violations? Is it no one’s business?

which will provide for the payment

NUMBERS POISON
OWN SYSTEM
AUTOINTOXICATION IS FOUN
DATION OF MOST DISEASES
AND ILL HEALTH, SAYS NOT
ED AUTHORITY.
Advanced medical authorities as
sert that auto-intoxication is the foun
dation of most of the ills and diseases
to which the human flesh is heir.
“This condition,” says L. T. Cooper,
who has made an exhaustive study
of the subject, “is nothing more nor
less than the slow self-poisoning of
the vital organs, produced by the ex
cessive mental and physical rtrain
we are forced to endure, which ren
ders the organs lame and inactive and
permits toxins—actual poisons— to be
geerated within one’s own body.
“Sometimes the trouble starts in the
liver nd kidneys, and sometimes it
starts in the stomach, or elsewhere,
but in any case the blame lies with
the faulty method of living, which
has become so prevalent in recent
years, and it is the more important
| organs that‘suffer the final damage.
!As when they falter or fail in their
: duties their body fills up with pois
| ons and the victim readily yields to
their baneful influences. Blight’s dis
ease, stomach and intestinal troubles,
i catarrhal affections of the mucous
membranes; in fact, may be called
auto-intoxication or self-poisoning.
“A tired, dragging feeling of the
body,” continued Mr. Cooper, “or slug
gish mind and dull memory, intense
nervousness, headaches, stomach and
bowel troubles, poor circulation, im
perfect digestion, constipation and
despondency, are common symptoms
of auto-intoxication, and nine out of
every ten people in the average city
like Atlanta are likely to be so af
fected.”
Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive
tonic, was designed especially to over
come these troubles, and it is Mr.
Cooper’s theory that the Tanlac treat
ment is the direct remedy therefor.
There is nto a single portion of the
body that is not benefitted by the
i healthful work of this celebrated
! preparation, which begins its action
by stimulating the digestive and as
similative organs, thereby enriching
j the blood and invigorating the entire
j system. Next, it enables the stomach
| to thoroughly digest the food, there
jby permitting the assimilable prod
ucts to be converted into blood, bone
and muscle. It overcomes that great
exciting cause of disease—weakness.
It renders the body vigorous and elas
tic, keeps the mind clear and ener
getic, and throws off the symptoms
of nervousness and indigestion. It
builds up the constitution, weakened
by disease and mental and physical
overwork, quickens convalescense and
; and is an unfailing source of com
fort to those suffering from these
| troubles.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug
las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa
| coochee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in
! Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy;
j in Pearson by Drs. Joe and C. W. Cor
bett; and in Broxton by J. 11. Rod
