And for goodness sake, Jake, don’t make a mistake and ship ice! If you do you may have to go down there yourself and rectify the mistake. CORN SHUCKING IN 18C8. Thecotton will soon be all out, then the corn must be hauled up to the cribs. When I was a boy this was a season of fun, because late in October, the corn was hauled up in front of the cribs, piled in two long rows across the lot, and invitations sent out to the boys and girls of the neighborhood to come over to the “corn shucking.” Some time the cane was ripe, and had been hauled up to the house, not far from the cane mill, and when the tim e came around, generally on Friday and Saturday nights, the mills were start ed early in the day, and by diner time the kettles on the furnaces were full of nice, clear cane juice. The fires under the kettles were started about 2 o’clock, the boiling was going on and the mills were kept busy fur nishing more juice. Then the boys and girls commence arriving, some go ing to the syrup kettles, while others spread out all along the rows of corn. One fellow, way up at the head of the corn row, would holler out, “Who laid the Rail?” Another, down at the other end would repply “Sallie” or “Mary,” whichever name he happened to think of, and then she would com mence to hide, for the first fellow that shucked a red ear of corn was going to catch and kiss her. And sometimes if the fellow with the red ear of corn happened to be the right one “Sallie” wasn’t hard to catch, but she’d manage to get around behind a crib or something that would serve as a sceen before she’d let the boy catch and kiss her, in order that there would be some privacy and decency in such a ticklish proceeding. Some of the boys were mean enough to say she i HAVE NOW THROWN MY CRUTCHES ASIDE SAYS MRS. BISHOP MOTHER OF NINE CHILDREN SUFFERED FOR TWENTY-TWO YEARS. “When a medicine gets you over your troubles you’ve hnu far twenty two years and takes you off of crucch es, there’s nothing in the world too good to say about it, and that’s what Tanlac has done for me, ad I certain ly ought to be willing to testify to the truth and let everybody know about it.” This unusal statement was made by Mrs. N. A. Bishop, of Roswell, Ga., who is the mother of nine children, and has a great many friends and ac quaintances in that section. Mrs. Bis hop was talking to Mr. R. S. McDer ment, of the G. T. Lyon Drug Co., of that place, who had heard of this re markable case and driven five miles out in the country to the Bishop home to investigate the report. “Yes,” continued Mrs. Bishop, “I’ve been a criple with rheumatism for a long time and for three years I’ve been using crutches and hadn’t been able to do anything about the house for a good many years back. That’s the plain fact and my folks and all the neighbors know of my helpless condi tion, and will tell you the same thing any time you ask ’em. “I would have severe pains in the hips and small of my back even when 1 wasn’t trying to get about, and be sides that, I was not in a very good general condition. It may have start ed because I couldn’t get about and take exercise, but I lost my appetite and things didn’t taste good nor agree with me after I had eaten. I was constipated a good deal too. “I saw where Tanlac was helping a great many people and I thought may be it would make me feel a little bet ter even if it failed to help my pains; but I am happy to say it has done a hundred times more than,l expected, for I have laid aside the old crutches and am now actually doing all my house work. “I have taken five bottles and can walk anywhere I want to without crutches and my rheumatic pains have left me. My appetite is good and I can eat anything I want without its bothering me in the least, and I believe if I continue to take it a while longer it will make me entirely well for good and all. “I want everybody to know about this great medidne for it certainly is wonderful—my case ougtit to prove that to anybody. I want everybody that has such troubles to get it and stop wasting their money on quack medicines.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa coochee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy; in Pearson by Dr- ;. Joe and C. W. Cor bett; and in Brexton by J. H. Rod denberry; in McDonald, Lochridge & Lawton; in West Creen, Mack’s Drug Store. enjoyed it, but I woudn’t like to be quoted as saying she did. In this way a man could get a good deal of corn shucked, and at the same time the young folks had a nice time, for about ten o’clock it was found that the syrup in one of the kettles had been cooked too much and was just right for can dy pulling. Every pan, tray and buck et on the place was filled with this overcooked syrup, and the boys and girls pulled candy, smearing each other with the sweetness until mid night, and then went home. I went to a good many of these corn buckings and nearly all of them a pretty little black eyed girl stood near me as I shucked corn, and when I got a red ear I didn’t wait for anyone to call her name for me to perform the kiss ing act, but many times she saw the red ear before or as soon as I did, and was gone like a shadow. Well, it is all over now, and many of those boys and girls have passed away, are at rest on the other side of the river and I am still on the road of life plod ding along tired and feeble but I love to think of those happy days. —Lois James says she’s “a fine cook.” Ces, I know, those were ex cellent mud pies she used to cook on the side of the ditch, down the road. Ten or twelve years ago. —Delia Quinn, who has been up about Baxley for two weeks, is at home again. I was not at the office when she came to see me last Monday, Jim Chappell was, and he says he is a splendid substitute when the girls want to see me. I see right now I’ve got to move my office or learn him to stay in his place. —Cotton is nearly all out, farmers will have only a few bales to sell for 20 cents. vital IBliafiife He Will Never Reach Any Place On Time!
