Secured $9,000 in Cash From Mr.
Ira Gibbs.
Between 2 and 3 o’clock Saturday
morning Mr. Ira Gibbs was awakened
from a sound sleep by his pillow be
ing jerked away and letting his head
drop. Mr. Gibbs was awake instant
ly, however, because inside the pillow
snugly lay $9,000 in cold hard cash.
Mr. Gibbs lumped to the floor aiui
reached for his pistol, which lay on
the dresser and to the window. He
saw someone moving away through
the yard and fired several shots but
none of them, evidently took effect.
As soon as he could, Mr. Gibbs
aroused the tenants on the place and
.his neighbors and a search was made
to find evidence of the party or par
ties who snatched the pillow with the
money in it, but to no avail.
Sheriff Shaw was notified and
went to Mr. Gibb’s place, about eight
miles from Tifton, taking with him
Mr. Frank Whiddon and his dog, ar.
riving at the scene of the robbery
about 5 o’clock Saturday morning.
A .thorough search of the premises
was made; but no evidence could be
found that would put the sheriff on
track of the thieves; neither could
the dog pick up any track, and up
till noon no trace had been found of
the course, the missing money had
taken.
The house of Mr. Gibbs was locked
but a spring latch on the dining room
door was forced and it is suposed
that this is the opening the party
taking the pillow used in getting into
the house.
It is supposed that someone knew
that Mr. Gibbs had this large amount
of money in the house and also that
they were familiar with his habits of
keeping it under his head when he
slept. The sum stolen represented
about all of his cotton crop together
with a part payment he had been
made by his father on a farm he re
cently sold to him.
Mr. Gibbs has always been averse
to banking his money, preferring to
keep it in the house, and has at
times had more than the sum stolen
Saturday morning secreted in the
pillow on which he slept.
Sheriff Shaw and other officers
are making strenuous efforts to cap
ture the thieves, but of course suc
cess in their efforts is problematical,
as there is no doubt but that the
robbery was carefully planned and
the perpetrators will be hard to ap
prehend.

sent Tift county at the special short
course, the only expense the boys
will be put to being $5 each; railroad
fare, board and other expenses being
paid.
i The short course is valuable to
the boys who are desirous of farm
ing along modern lines and they will
come back home filled full of good
things, mentally, that will stay with
them through life, and especially
will they he taught things about op
erating a farm under boll weevil con.
ditions that they could not get any
other way. Besides te educational
features that the short course will
give the boys, they will have the
privileges of the fair grounds and
will be shown courtesies that they
would not get under ordinary cir
cumstances.
Each county in the state is en
titled to send two boys under the
same plan as the one carried out in
Tift county, and there will be a good
sized class of Georgia boys attend

Tifton Bottling Worka Receives Car-
load of New Design.
The Tifton Bottling Works unload
ed a carload of the new design of
Coca Cola bottles Friday. This is a
new bottle the Coca Cola people have
put out and the Tifton Bottling
Works is perhaps the first bottler in
South Georgia to put it into use.
The bottle is of a neat und origi
nal design, corrugated, with swell
body, looking, as seme one remarked,
as if it was robed in a new hobble
skirt. It has the familiar Corea
Cola design, and on the bottom of
each “Tifton, Ga.,” is blown in the
glass.
It makes a very attractive contain
er for a fine drink, and in being the
first to put it on the market. Man
ager Holmes is but following his
usual plan of leading in all that is

The bottle was patented Nov. 16th’
1915.
Big Money on Island, and Business
Booms, Says Tiftonian.
Mr. J. L. Williams returned Satur
day night from Cuba, where he spent
three weeks in the interest of the
tractor department of the Interna
tional Harvester Co.
Business is booming on the
island,” said Mr. Williams in answer
to a question from the Gazette man
“The price of sugar is putting money
into everybody’s pockets, and the
country is rolling in wealth.
“In our line, we are doing a big
business. The President of the Re
public and the Secretary of Agricul
ture bought labor-saving farm ma
chinery and the demand from lead
ing planters is keeping our salesmen
busy. It is as easy to sell a $1,600
tractor there as to sell a $40 mower
in this country.
“By the way, you people in Tifton
are building a city while I am away
It is good to see the old town grow,
for it is the best there is. I hav
visited every town and city in the
state, from this size up, and many
hundreds in other states, and Tifton
has it on all of them when it comes
to class.
“And taking everything into con
sideration, this is the best country in
the world for a man to live
Don’t think because I say there is so
much money in Cuba that I advise
South Georgians to pull up and go
there. Right here is the place for
man to live. None of them have
anything on this section, and the
man who lives here can’t go any
where else and do better.”
She Now Feel* 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 Tanlae had done fox me.”
said Mrs. Malinda Menders, w f ho is
one of Atlanta’s oldest and most
highly respected residents. Mrs.
Meaders lives at 234 Stewart Ave„
but she had gone to the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Trouton, at 425
Whitehall, to celebrate the happy oc
casion, and it w’as here that Dr. E.
B. Elder called at her request.
An unusual feature of the occasion
was the fact that three generations
were present to witness the singing
of this most unusual and interesting
statement—Mrs Menders signing a
written recital of the fncts, nnd her
daughter and grandson, J. C. Mead-
era, signing as witnesses.
“Yes,” said the old Indy, “I
finishing up my eighty-fourth year,
and tomorrow, 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 o? the time. I was sick
and nervous and had had stomach
trouble. My digestion was poor and I
could not enjoy my meals like I used
to. After eating I would feel uncom
fortable and have palpitation of the
heart and it would be hard for
to get m y breath. Sometimes I would
have awful 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
Tanlae 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
after I had finished the first bottle.
I have now taken three bottles al-
toghether and feel as well and happy
as I did when I was a young girl. My
appetite is just splendid now, and I
enjoy my meals and am gaining in
weight. I feel so much stronger. I
can now go about anywhere I want
to, and can sleep good at night. It is
one of the best medicines I have ever
taken iri my life, and I want to tell
suffering people about it.”

Thirtieth Annual Session Made New
Record.
After one of the best sessions in
the thirty years of its existence, the
Mell Baptist Association, which met
at Lenox Wednesday, concluded its
work and adjourned Thursday af
ternoon.
The officers elected for the
are:
M. S. Patten, of Tifton, Mod-
rator, re-elected.
S. S. Mathis, of Nashville, Clerk,
succeeds Rev. R. F. Kersey.
I. W. Bowen, of Tifton, Treasurer,
re-elected.
The attendance was the largest on
record for the Association, and the
business reports the best for years.
Throughout, the spirit of the meet
ing was fine, and those attending
went away with rekindled enthusi-
and renewed strength for the
work of the new year.
The hospitality of the people of
Lenox was boundless, and never has
the Association been more royally
entertained. This was appreciated
by the visitors, as their hearty ex
pressions attested.
Altogether, the session just ad
journed set a new record for the
Mell.

Another record for automobile
sales in Tifton, nnd we believe for
South Georgia, was made this week
when the Tift-Overland Compnny re
ceivcd, unloaded and sold, three car
loads of Overland machines.
Each car contained five machines,
making fifteen Overlands in all-
therefore, fifteen owners made happy
by the possession of these desirable
cars.
Besides the Overlands, two Buicks
were sold—all Mr. A. C. Tift could
get.
All of which talks some for Tifton
as an auto market, also for the sales
