"ISI Unadte Jm 9 § mm j' M' rceman Melva Corbitt has used up her long slim envelopes. Dr. Vinson and several others made some good speeches at New Hope last Sunday. John Abraham Kirkland, of Sagi naw, and his Ford, are in town every day or two now. Lucena Spivey and Martha Knowles have scratched my name off their cor respondence list. “Black-eyed Bessie” was at the convention last Sunday. If she grows any I can’t tell it. Next time I see Henry Spivey I am going to ask him to let m.e come out and duck Lucena. Lucy was not at New Hope Sun day, but Myriarri and Rebecca and two other fellows were. The Misses Jones, wno have so uc cessfully taught school at Inman, de serve a restful vacation. 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 term of Arnie school Would begin 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 is a very important one, and I have 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 now afraid to ask “her something,” because he is afraid she’ll think he’s too slow to make a living. Lone Jack says he kissed a girl once and had his lips mixed up with snuff. The girl says she kissed a fellow once and his breath was laden with cigarette and whiskey fumes. 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 ning steamers between this place and 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 have ever seen. I don't care if she 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? | Mr. Stewart wants to pass a bill |at the next term of the legislature which will provide for the payment iof the Judge, Sheriff, Clerk and So licitor of the City Court onyl from | the fines and forfeitures, incurred in j that court. That means that all the j costs of the Justices will be gobbled up, the solicitor will quit nol press ing, and Judge Bryan will put on the I fines to the limit. And that makes ;me more particular in having cash for all warrants I write, except in i extreme cases.

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 denberry; in McDonald, Lochridge & Lawton; in West Green, Mack’s Drug Store. \Y. H. HUGHES, D. C. CHIROPRACTOR Union Bank Bldg. - Douglas, Ga. DR. T. A.
