No matter where you go Tanlac is a household word and it is now un questionably the most widely talked of medicine in the world today. Although placed on the market a little less than two years ago Seven and a Quarter Millior bottles have been sold, and its record as a seller has probably never been equalled in the historv of this country. In six Southern states alone, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missippi and Ark ansas, Tanlac is now selling at the phenomenal rate of over a million bottles per year and the demand is constantly increasing.

They will also tell you of scores of people right in your own community who have been benefited by its use. Ask your neighbors about it and they will tell you the same thing.

C., elec tioneering for me. On a postal, here is what he wrote: “Am sure you will be elected. That's what the people here say.” I was in hopes that fellow was getting all right, but electioneer ing for me away out there shows he’s just as crazy as ever. But he’s a good fellow all right. —Gerald Wesley, a popular car driver of the city, motored down to Moccason Slide, or Dark town, last Saturday night, to see some colored musicians, who wished to play for a white party, when Mack Jourdan, colored, put in his mouth, and after ■, a few words, pulled his pistol and shot Gerald through the arm.
