Nicholls, .‘■ays she has the advantage
of me, that she knows me and I don’t
know her. And that is true, for there
is only one of me and nearly five
(hundred chums.
If Edna Fredrickson will send me

i print communications unless we know
iwho Wrote them.
I Mrs. Dan Woods and the baby were

Stanton will oppose me at the coming

TEE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, JULY 22 1916
Little girl on Rfd. Kirkand, says
! If I will write regular she will answer
every Monday. That’s a bargain, and if
j-he don't i’m going to Oberry, then
|out to her house, and tell papa Henry
how .-he is trying to flirt with me. I
1 have one c.f her letters yet, sayir.g
lif I ceme to ©Terry she would meet
I me and walk fcacK home with me, Oh.
j yes, goodie.
Bertha Woods was in town Satur
j day with her sister-in-law, and said
! she was coming to see me, but she
! didn’t. But that makes but little dif
jferer.ee, I am not surprised, for any
i one that has as much trouble with
girls about her size, between 16 and
| 21 as 1 have is not surprised at any
thing they do. There are good and
I mean girls in this world, Bertha is one
of the good ones.
Amanda Joyce, up at Osierfield,
j says she “is just able to sit up and
write, been having fever, and wants
jme to come next Sunday.” All right;
wait till I an find my quinine bottle,
and package cf ground ginger. Qui
nine and ginger is mighty good for
fevers, Mandy. Then 1 can sit down
side of the bed and rub that ache out
of your little head. Poor, dear child;
I wish 1 was there right now to give
you a dose of quinine.
Dave Tanner, of Nicholls, was in
town again a few days ago. You re
member w T hat he sent some time back
about having his wife to load his car
for me with roasting ears the next
time he came to Douglas. Well sir;
he waited until she had gone off
somewhere and he slipped off for
Douglas, but managed to get back
home befoe bis wife did. If that is
not whipping the devil around the
i stump what would you call r.t.
Sometimes you can throw a piece
of meat to a hungry dog, he will catch
and swallow it and raise his eyes in
thanks to you. There’s another spe-
Icies of dogs that have only too legs;
if you hand one of them a piece of
meat and a biscuit, will swallow it
with a gulp, look to see where you
put the dish with the other victuals
you have saved for yourself and chil
dren, and if there’s no chance for him
to steal it will slink away with a
■ scowl on his covetous face.
Lucena Spivey, of Kirkland says,
“Uncle Jim—l looked in the well on
(June 22nd, and saw a little girl in a
black coffin, lam sorry I looked now.”
And 1 am sorry you believe in any
such foolishness. There was no little
girl or coffin in that well, what you
saw was a shadow, some reflection in
the water. Y 7 ou can take a magnolia,
or one other big leaf, split a stick,
i fasten the leaf in it, hold it between
j some still water and the sun, then
hold a mirror or looking glass behind
i the leaf and you can see anything you
want to imagine. Quit it, Lucena,
don’t believe any such foolishness
as the little girl in the black coffin.
If something is not done, and that
j quick, Hart Furniture Company is
| gonig to be without a bookeeper. I
I am doing my best to keep up with that
bock keeper, but thngs begin®o look
| mighty shaky. She is only about four
: feet seven inches high, and I saw her
I last Sunday twice, and each time she
was swinging onto a step ladder looking
|ing fellow 7 about seven feet long more
or less. No use to make her go up
stairs to sleep for he can step up to
the window' and pull her out. Well,
it is all right; let them rip. He car
pull her out the wfindow', get his license
day before, come down and see me
I with the license and a two dollar bill
\ and I’ll snap th buckle before he can
off his then.
Forked Tcunged Slanderers.
Some one is always ready to talk
dear child and they are not always
partisular about telling the truth,
either. Many a boy and girl have
been made to go with their heads
J down, with a heavy heart, because of
j rumors that were started by people
not as good as themselves, scandal
mongers believe these faulsehoodsy
or pretend to do so, but God knows
a liar and has a warm place in hall
for them. Wipe away your tear
marks from your face, examine your
j heart, know* that your skirts are clean
i hold your head up. not down Not
w T ith boldness and defance, but with
| meekness and a conscience of in no*
| cence. The people will see an know,
condemnation will be removed and
| Christs will say, “neither do I con
demn you.” I c n’t that nice; dosen’t
iit sound sweet, from His dear lips
j but remember, child, He never said
| that to a person who He knew had a
wicked, sinful heart. No, you could
rot help the car breaking down and
; keeping you out on the road, with a
:ycur.g man all the afternoon. 1 had
an experience of that kind myself or.
the 4th of July, yes, you did right ti
'tell me about it. You are r.ot the only
girl who has come to me with her
troubles, some one comes or w r rites
j
every week. My ears are open, and
my heart is full of sympathy for all
that have sorrows of any kind, Ihad

CAPT PARKER—NOW EATS CAB
BAGE AND PORK LIKE A SEC
TION HAND.
“I have got to hand it to that Tar,-
lac, fer there is no doubt about it be
ing the finest thing ever sold in a
drug store for the people that have*
any sort of stomach trouble or indi
gestion,” said Capt. Eugene Parker,
a popular Louisville and Nashville
conductor, running beween Birming
ham and Montgomery, and who lives
at 417 Sixth avenue, lnglenook, a few
days ago.
“Why, the way it has straightened
me out in just a short time,” he can
tinued, “is a mistery and it has done
for me what nothing else I ever tried
would do. I had mighty near got to
where I didn’t need to go to the table
any more, so far as eating was con
cerned, for I couldn’t eat anything
after I got there.lf I did, I had to pay
dear for it in a little while, for my
stomach had about played out alto
gether.
“There was a coninual soreness in
my stomach and I thought sometimes
it must be an abcess. My liver never
was right and there was not a day but
what I had to get something from the
drug store for headache and to settle
my stomach. I never had much life
in me and had fallen off a great deal.
I was in a badly run down shape gen-*
erally and hardly fit to do my work.
“About three weeks ago a friend of
mine asked me why I didn’t try this
Tanlac, as he had used it and found
it to be the very thing he needed, sc
I took him up on his sugest’on and
stopped at the Anderson Drug Com
pany in Ingcinook and bought two bot
tles of it, but I must say I never looked
for it to do me any good, as so many
things had been recommended to me
and I tried them all without any bene
“Well, I am afraid some people
won’t believe it, but it is a fact and I
can prove it. After I had used two
bottles I weighed and found I had
actually gained 18 pounds. It just
straightened my stomach out in no
time and since I took the first dose I
have not had to take anything for a
headache.
