THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE. DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, Sept., 9 1916.
Prof. Little says the enrollment a.
the Georgia Normal College arid Busi
ness Institute for this term, is the
largest had since its organization
The reason is plain; it is one of the
best educational institutes in Georgia.
There will be an entertainment at
he home of Mr. P. C. Davis, out on

carry my cornet, but I’m afraid of
those girls, and don’t think I’ll be
there.

Dr. Jefferson Wilcox, of Willacoo
c’nee, was in town last Tuesday. He
does not come to town very often and
he does not have an idle moment when
he does as his many frierds keep him

questions.
One of my correspondents writing
ff-om Hortonse, last week, says “a good i
many people who were at Satilla j
church more than a month ago. ex-!
I pected you and your cornet at the.
camp meeting last Sunday.” Well,
1 was at the next station 6 miles
away. <
Weil, we’ve got another printer girl
at the Enterprise, and the first fellow
I catch fooling around her I’m going
to stab in the back with the paste
brush. Dog-gone ’em every time we
get one so she can work well some

to house keeping.
Noah Burkett is a quiet, industrious
fellow but never has been able to put
| up anything for the future, until re-
cently when he struck it lucky by get
ting a line on a fortune. He came to
me about it last Sunday afternoon, I
had the young lady brought before
me, she was ready for trial, both filed
a plea for mercy and I sentenced them
for life, and that’s the way Burkett got
the fortune, and they’re going to
house keeping as soon as they can find
| a house just big enough for two.
A little girl who was in town last
Monday, and lives near Pearson, said
j to me, “Uncle Jim, the Pearson Tri
-1 bune said some nasty things about
'(you last week, so nasty that mother
! wouldn't let me read the paper. What
j does he mean?” Not a thing; you
| remember seeing the new moon last
I weak, don’t you? We l !, the poor fel-
! low goes wrong in his head every
i time the new moon comes, talks and
I walks in his sleep, bleats like a goat
| and imagines himself a B fiat. “Oh,
dear,” said the little girl. “I am not
j going to Pearson any more on the new
I of the moon unless 1 know he’s chain
ed.”
j The reunion of the Courson family
on the 18th of August, a rainy day,
j was not as large as usual. Had the
good old father William Courson lived,
j this would have been his 92nd birth
i day. These reunions are held every
year by h:s desendants and their
j many friends and though he has been
j dead several years their love for the
i old patriarch is ot dimmed. Mr. T. J.
Courson furnished me with a list of
attendants hut it was mislaid, to my
tegret, and cannot be found. I am
Ifcne who knew and loved my good old
brother that is gone before, and 1
claim all his children and relatives as
my boys and girls. Cod bless cm.
My friend Mrs. C. Y«. Corbitt, the
c; “big sis” I had, has gone like
the nvpst of ’em, and got married last

: I wasn't at the wedding, but I
e:,t the Mayor cf Douglas, G. M.
’Stanton, to see that everything was
carried out according to hoii and he
. ,y„ it was. I reckon it was koo, be
cause when he came back to town he
couldn't hardly gel out of the car, and
was found out he'd tried to eat
enough dinner for himself and the city
council. It is said “Big Si. ” made a
fine looking bride, with her hair all
combed and puffed up to beat the band
with fresh powder on her nose. Well,
I do not happen to know, Mr. Livings
ton, the gentleman she married, but
he’s all right, and may consider hira-
self a lucky fellow for having cap
tured the only “Big Sis” I ha'd. and
one of the finest ladies in the land for
a life time companion.

EX-MAYO* OF B’HAM
INDORSES TANLAC
“YOU WILL HARDLY KNOW ME
WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, FOR
I AM GETTING WELL,” HE
WRITES TO ATLANTA FRIEND.
One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thaught and action
who have com? forward with their
unqualified indorsement of Taniac is

“Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 2, 1916.
“ ... By the way, you will hardly
know me when we meet again because
1 am getting well and strong again.
As I told you while in Atlanta last
month, I have been suffering a long
time with gastritis, as the doctors call
it—really a diseordered stomach with
consequent constipation, pains in the
shoulders, headache, belching, heart
burn, loss of appetite, loss of sleep and
fainting spells. For weeks 1 could not
sleep on my back.
“One week ago, upon recommenda
tion c r . friends, who had tried the
medicine, I purchased one bottle of
Ta 'hie and began taking it. Since
my second dose I have suffered none
of ’ he-..- troubles to which I refer, anc
r ally believe I am going to get per
fc tly well and strong again. Won’t
that be wonderful at my age Weil
certain it is that Taniac is a wonder
ful medicine, and you know that I
I am not given to ‘puffing’ mere expert
i ments and am rather orthordox os tr
i materia medica.
' “I shall continue the treatment with
! perfect confidence in the final re
-1 suits. . . .
