ville singing classes last Sunday.
Among those I noticed were Burrel
Davis, Emmie Wall, Georgia Wilcox,
Deluna Davis and perhaps some
others.
—Cadie and Gussie Herring, Nich
olls, Rfd., didn’t meet at the sing as
they promised. Looked like rain and
they were afraid they’d get a sprink
ling that would knock the starch out
of their shirt waists.
—Noah and Preston Burkett mar
ried here in the past thirty days out of
the Chero-Cola plant. It looks like
the girls are going to scoup up all
our boys, I saw one last Saturday
swinging on to Joe Gaskin.
—Prof. J. M. Thrash, of the Agri
cultural college, of Tifton, was in the
city among friends, this week. Sorter
looks like old times to see his genial
face and bright smile. He made
friends while here that are life-long.
—I wanted to say something about
the convention of the Douglas Dist
rict Singing Convention for next year,
at Nicholls, last Sunday, but didn’t get
the opportunity. I saw most of the
leaders, however, and it will be all
right.
—Frances Lott, out on Willaeoochee
Rfd., wrote me a letter this week, and
said the saddest word she knew, was
“good-bye.” Well, Frances needn’t
think she is going to tell me good-bye.
I am not going to let her off any
where.
—There are a few people down at
Nicholls, new comers, that do not
know me, and tried to treat me with
contempt last Sunday. If they only
knew how little they were in my esti
mation they’d want to kick them
selves.
—Cordelia Quinn, up at Baxley,
writes and says she will be home next
week. Now, that’s all right, but I
don’t want her to write next Monday
and ask me to let her stay another
week. Not a thing in the world do
ing in that direction.
—The late Gand Jury recomended
that the old janitor, Tom Fryer, at
the court house, be replaced with a
better one. The Grand Jury will find
that this cannot be done. Tom is
faithful and no one will do the same
work for the same price.
—Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Corthern, of
Nicholls, Rfd., came to Douglas last
Thursday on business. But the only
business Mrs. Corthern had was to see
me, and her husband had to use one
of his sweetest, cutest smiles to get
her off home, too. Ahfem!
—Art enterprising citizen of Nich
olls, last Sunday, had a cane mill in
a convenient place, and was grinding
out juice for the people, at 5 cents
per glass. It was an accomodation to
the thirsty people and perhaps made
a few dimes for the citizen.
—I am very sorry to learn that
Ellen Smifh, my Sessoms chum, has
been sick two or three days, and that
was the reason I didn’t see her at
Nicholls Sunday. If I could just get
down there with my quinine bottle
I’d have her all right in a short while.
—Mighty pretty girl up at Wilson's
Jewelry Store, the very one for the
boys to go to see when they want to
buy a pin, bracelet or ring for their
best girl, because she knows what a
girl likes best. Now, boys, don’t turn

fool and go up there and buy a ring
for her.
—That girl up at Wilsons Jewelry
Store, carries a whole box of hairpins
in her hair. I was up there the other
day, my fountain pen was stopped
up with a bad cold, and she rammed
half a dozen hair pins down its throat,
ight out of her hair, before she got
it unstopped.
—Mrs. D. W. Vickers, out on No. 2,
was in town last Satuday. I told her
“to tell her husband, sons and all the
boys out there to remember to come
to town first Saturday in December
and help me out.” She replied that
there wasn’t any use to do that, that
they would do so anyhow.
—Erie Passmore, who has been
writing the Zirkle news for some
time, has gone to Quitman to school.
I can’t see why she didn’t come here.
We have all the educational advan
tages that Quitman J«as, and more too.
But then, she may have thought I
would watch her too close.
—Cordelia Quinn, of this place writ
ing from Baxley, says she don’t know
when she will be home. That’s the
way with a girl; let her get out of
reach, she takes the bitts in her teeth
and tries to run away. She doesn’t
know that No. 64 lives in that locality,
has an eye on her and keeps me post
ed.
—Ethel Lott, over about Coochee,
says for me to “come to see her and
chew cane, eat pecans and pomegran
ates.” Now, that sounds like busi
ness, and its the way with all my
country friends. They have all they
want to eat at home, and th e happiest,
most independent people are the farm
ers and their families.
—A. T. Frier, of Broxton, was down
here Saturday, fussing because the
subscription date on his paper had not
been changed. He was right, too,
and never fails to pay every October.
His little daughter, Alva, in the 3rd
grade, is the youngest chum on the
red book. She is mighty smart, minds
her parents and teacher.
—Preston Burkett and Miss Annie
Gillis, were married at the home of
the bride’s parents last Sunday, near
Stokesville. Rev. H. M. Meeks officia
ting. Preston is one of the best fel
lows in the world and happened, by
luck, to get one of the best girls liv
ing. How he managed it I can’t tell
but I wish them all the pleasures of
life.
—Coming in from Nicholls last Sun
day afternoon, two boys and two girls,
near the Presbyterian church, Misses
Clifford and Evelyn Wilson, and John
hall and Gus Roan, wanted me to
stand and give an account of myself.
I didn’t do it, but just want to remark
that the boys did well in selecting
their company, but can’t say as much
for the girls.
—Eva Ricketon, down at Zirkle, in
her last letter, says the railroad agent
at that place, had an increase in his
family recently. One night a little
baby came to gladden his home, and
next morning he went out in the lot
and found an old sow with eleven pigs.
It seems that providence provided for
the baby by sending along something
for it to eat, as Smith always pretends
to be' mighty hard up. But he’s a
good fellow.
—One of my opponents, in his an
nouncement, tries to jump on me the
first thing by his reference to a two
dollar bill and a quart of whiskey
said to be used in the March primary.
He knows it was common talk that
votes were bought at that price, that
is all past, not in this race, and as a
prominent man and voter says, he did
himself more harm than he intended
to do me. In all my races I never
allowed myself to try to take advan
tage of any one, because it does not
pay. I fight an open, fair fight.
—A certain straight coat pretender
asked me, last Sunday, if I didn’t con
sider it a si nand a shame to allow
drug stores, restaurants and cold
drink stands to remain open, as they
did at Nicholls, last Sunday. I was
obliged to shock him by saying I
thought it would be a sin and a shame
for the city authorities not to allow
them to supply the necessities of 1,800
thirsty people invited to their town,
and while 1 ddn’t say it, I thought
this particular individual might at the
close of life, want a cold drnk awful
bad, in that country where all pretend
ers go. I haven’t much use for a pre
tender in any shape, no how. Still,
this cold drink business is mighty ex
pensive when you hvae half a dozen
girls with you that you couldn’t get to
pass one of the drinking places -with
out stopping to see if it wasn’t “bet
ter or colder, than the other,” and
goodness knows it was all the same,
but it cost 30 cents to prove it every
time.

MRS. N. M. MEADERS
CELEBRATES HER
85TH ANNIVERSARY
1 ■■
AGED ATLANTA WOMAN SAYS
SHE WANTS EVERYBODY TO
KNOW THAT SHE NOW FEELS
YOUNG AND HAPPY AGAIN.
“I will be eighty-five years old to
morrow, and I want to celebrate my
; birthday by letting the whole world
know what Tanlac had done for me,”
I said Mrs. Malinda Meadows, who is
j one of Atlanta’s oldest and most ighly
respected residents. Mrs. Meadows
j lives at 234 Stewart Ave., but he had
gone to the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Trouton, at 425 Whithall, to cel
ebrate the happy occasion, and it was
here that Dr. E. B. Elder called at
her equest.
An unusal featue of the occasion
was the fact that three generations
were present to witness the signing
of this most unusal and interesting
statement —Mrs. Meaders singing a
written recital of the facts, and her
daughter and grandson, J. C. Meaders,
singing as witnesses.
“\ r es,” said the old lady, “I am fin
ishing up my eighty-fourth year, and
to-morrow, February 17, I will be
eighty-five years old, as I was born
February 17", 1831, I have lived to see
Atlanta grow to be a big city, and
have seen many wonderful things
brought about right here in Georgia.
“I haven’t been in very good health
for nearly five years, and have felt
bad most of the time. I was sick and
nervous and had bad stomach trouble.
My digestion was poor and I could not
enjoy my meals like I used to. After
eating I would feel uncomfortable and
have palipitation of the heart, and it
i would be hard for me *to get my
j breath. Sometimes I would have aw
ful headaches and dizzy spells.
“I seemed to get weaker all the
time. I got very thin and felt that
I was going down hill rapidly. -This
was the way I felt when they got
Tanlac for me, and I feel so much
better that I want everybody to know
about it. I could see all the differ
ence in the world in my condition aft
er I had finished the first bottle.
I have now taken three bottles ol
together, and feel as well and happy
as I did when I was a young girl. My
appetite is just splendid now, and I
i enjoy my meals and am gaining in
i weight. I feel so muct stronger. I
can now go about anywhere I want
to, and can sleep good at right. It is
one of the best medicines I have ever
j taken in all my life, and I want to
| tell suffering people about it.”
