CORDELE DISTRICT STARTS NEW

HELD IN OGLETHORPE.
For the purpose of discussing and
outlining a co-operative plan of work
for the ensuing year, Methodist min

dele district,
At the head of the conference was

fice, and do other work about the

for some months, will continue in the
service of this concern and will be
employed as a traveling salesman,
covering a territory in South Georgia,
north Florida and southern Alabama.

LOCAL COURT REPORTER
IS HELPING IN AMERICUS
E. L. Kiker, court reporter of the
Cordele judicial circuit, is in Ameri
cus assisting the court reporter of
the Southwestern circuit, W. Thad
Glover, in taking testimony in the
Wade case. It is expected that the
case will develop too much work for
one reporter, and the two will take
turns by half days in doing this sten
ographic work.
The length of the session of the
court to try the Wade case is, of
course, a matter of conjecture. If,
however, Dr. H. K. Chapman, the
first defendant placed on trial is con
victed of the murder of Walter Wade,
the session will"be continued over
several weeks. The tral of Chapman
is expected to consume a week or
more.

Be Moderate in Your Diet, Breathe
Deeply and take Tassco
Fat persons, particularly those
from 10 to 30 pounds above mnormal
weight will be interested to learn that
they may easily reduce their weight
without starvation diet or tiresome
exercise,
This can best be done by being
moderaie in your diet, so that you will
not over-tax your assimilative organs,
by getting plenty of fresh air by
breathing deeply and by taking tassco
four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from
any good drug store in 5-grain tab
lets take one after each meal and
‘ne before retiring at night. They
cost little, and are absoluteyl harm
loss, are pleasant to take and are de
signed to reduce fatty aceumulations
‘n -the-system wherever located.
A few. days’ treatment should’ show
v noticeable reduction in weight, the
desh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health im
vroved in fact your footsteps should
even become lighter, your work seem
easier and a lighter -and more bouyani
feeling take possession of your whole
being.
Every persen who is 10 or 20
pounds over normal weight should
surely give this treatment a trial
You will probably find that it is just
what you need.
Nearly 770,000 farmers are assisting
the United States agricultural depart
ment in seed and plant tests.
Another reason why we have so
many divorces is because a girl usual
ly marries a man just because she is
afraid some other girl will.
