“TANLAC HAS MADE A REAL
FARMER OF ME ONCE MORE,”
HE SAYS.
“I suffered with stomach trouble for
ewenty years, but I tell you, young
man, this Tanlac medicine has about
ended my troubles, and what’s more
than that, I’ve gained fifteen pounds
since I began taking it,” said J. H.
McCauley, a well-known and highly re
spected fanner of Dade county, Geor
gia, in talking to the Tanlac repre
jsentative at the Live and Let Live
Drug Company, Chattanooga.
[ “Just thing of a farmer having to
live on raw eggs and the like. Farm
ing is hard work, and a man ought to
have plenty of good, substantial food
to keep going. But raw eggs was just
about all I could eat, for my stomach
was in such a bad shape it couldn’t
stand much of anything. If I did eat
much I would have to pay for it aft
erward. The pit of my stomach was
as sore as a boil and at times I would
almost choke with gas on my stom
ach. I got so weak I could hardly
stand on my feet —much less work. I
was constipated most of the time and
had dreadful dizzy spells. I’ve always
said farm life was the happiest life
of all but I tell you, a man in the shape
I was in couldn’t get much enjoyment
out of it.
“I tried one kind of medicine after
another, but none of it did me any
good until I got hold of Tanlac. I be
gan taking it and felt better from the
first three or four doses. My appe
tite picked up and I began to eat
things I hadn’t touched in months, and
everything tasted good and agreed
with me.
“When I began taking Tanlac I
weighed 137 pounds, but I’ve been
gaining steadily ever since and now I
weigh 152 pounds, which is a gain of
fifteen pounds. lam not bothered
with pains in my stomach any longer
and I feel good in every way—just
like I had been made all over again.
I’m not constipated like I was, am no
longer nrevous, and feel stronger than
I have in years. I am now able to
work in the field from sunrise to sun
set. I go to bed early and sleep good
all night, and wake up next morning
feeling like a sixteen-year-old. I’ve
taken four bottles of the medicine.
“Tanlac has made a real farmer of
me again, and you don’t know how
happy I am. I just feel like telling
everyone I see what a wonderful thing
it is.”
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 Dis. Joe and C. W. Cor
bett; and in Brcxton by J. H. Lod
denberry; in McDonald, Lochridge &
Lawton; in West Green, Mack’s Drug
store.
In a few minutes all will be smooth
and quiet and it will never be known
that your finger had ever been in the
water or your body on earth. But, if
you have lived a life of usefulness a
sweet memory will be left behind it.”
The reports comes that the boll wee
vil is responsible for the death of sev
eral negroes down in Lowndes county.
The weevil it is said gets on the black
berries, the negroes eat them, they
stick to his swallowing apparatus and
choke him to death. The negro down
there pick and sell the berries to the
white people, but they don’t eat them
until after they are scalded in hot wa
ter.

last week, said a word or two to me,
pushed some chairs around, told me to
pull off my glasses and just then her
husband came in with a flash-light
camera, took good aim and shot me.
The lady was gone, came back later,
brought three big photographs and
said I owd her a dollar and a quarter,
which I paid. If I don’t have trouble
with the ladies, who does ?
Jesse Smith, over near Axson, wrote
me an invitation to come over to the
Mills Picnic grounds on the 27th of
June, and “bring a big basket well
filled, that all of the girls will be
glad to see me.” Well, if the gills
expect to see me come over there tot
ing a big basket from Douglas they
have missed their guess. But I put
them on notice now, if I can come, I
will, and if they don’t feed me, well
they may expect trouble and no little
of it.
There’s a girl down at Saginaw that
says “now that you have been down
to Sessoms to see Mary Smith the
next hting for you to do is to stop
off here, and that pretty soon.” That’s
pretty sti-aight talk, but Mary Smith
saysCif I don’t come down t v here on
the first Sunday in July there’ll be
more trouble.” So, you see, it’s more
trouble any way I turn, and they won’t
let me go to the war, to keep out of
this fracas, because I am not quite
old enough. I am always in hot wa
ter, one way or the other, but when it
happens to be two girls it is something
fierce.
David Douglas was here Tuesday
morning. He had come to town with
Ruth, she got away from him, and as
he couldn’t find her anywhere he came
to my office to know' what I had done
w'ith her. I told him she was not
here, but, he looked around behind box
es and chairs and finally went off,
shaking his head like he didn’t know
whether to believe me or not. That’s
just the w'ay. If a man loses his wife
or his daughter in this town he thinks
I have ’em hid in my office. It is a
w'onder I’ve not been torpedoed long
ago by some of these men, but come
on, girls, I’ll never lose my life in bet
ter company.
Mrs. D. W. Vickers, the mother of
Mattie Vickers, who disappeared so
mysteriously from home in the early
spring, was in tow'n last week, on her
way to see friends and relatives in
Ocilla. She, like all good mothers, is
still interested, and w'ants to know the
whereabouts of her daughter. Two
hundred dollars have already been of
fered and published, to be given any
one for informatioft that will lead to
the rescue of the girl, and she hopes
to raise the amount to five hundied
dollars. I hope she will succeed and
I think every one that can help in this
matter will aid all they can. And it is
also hoped the one responsible for this
girls ruin and the trouble given her
parents may reap full pustice from
his crime.
A young lady came to my office last
Saturday, with some others, and told
me that she “didn’t want me to put
her name in my old Note Book,” and
I never will. Ten years ago one told
me that, and I never wrote her name
when she was married, and a year
afterward when she died, no mention
of the fact was made, when her father
came and asked me “why no mention
was made of his daughters marriage
and death, when I always publish such
things of others.” I told him his dau
ghter requested that I never mention
her name in my writings again, and
as I respected her request in life I
would do the same in death. But
at the soiTowing father’s request I
published a notice of his daughter and
little baby’s death. So now, I have
the names of two young ladies in this
county whose names I will never men
tion anyway.
