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.

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.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug- I las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa ; coochee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy; |in Pearson by Dr-:;.
