IHE AMERICUS DAILY 11ME3-KECORDER
MRS.N.M. MEADERS
CELEBRATES HER
85TH ANMVERSARY
AGED ATLANTA WOMAN WANTS
EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT SHE
NOW FEELS YOUNG AND HAPPY.
“I will be eighty-five years old to
morrow, and I want to celebrate my
birthday by letting the whole world
know what Tanlac had done for me,”
said Mrs. Malinda Meaders, who is
ont of Atlanta’s oldest and most
highly respected residents. Mrs. Mead
ers lives at 234 Stewart Ave., but she
had gone to the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Trouton, at 425 Whitehall, to cel
ebrate the happy occasion, and it was
here that Dr. E. B. Elder called at her
request.
An unusual feature of the occasion
v.as the fact that three generations
were present to witness the signing of
this most unusual and interesting
statement—Mrs. Meaders signing a
written recital of the facts, and her
daughter and grandson, J. C. Meaders,
signing as witnesses.
“Yes.” said the old lady, “I am fin
ishing up my eighty-fourth year, and
tomorrow, February 17, I will be
eighty-five years old, as I was born
Feburary 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 tad
most of the time. I was sick and nerv
ous and had bad stomach trouble. My
d’gestion was poor and I could not en
joy my meals like I used to. After eat
ing I would feel uncomfortable and
have palpitation of the heart, and it
v, ould be hard for me to get my
breath. Sometimes I would have aw
ful headaches and dizzy spells.
“1 seemed to get weaker all the
time. I got very thin and felt that I
v.as going down hill rapidly. This was
the way I felt when they got Tanlac
for me, and I feel so much better that
I want everybody to know about it. I
could see all the difference in the
world in my condition after I had
finished the first bottle.
"I have now taken three bottles al
, together, and feel as well and happy
as 1 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 tak
en in all my life, and I want to tell
suffering people about it.’’

Dueling Has
Been Revived
In Atlanta
ATLANTA, March B.—The custom of
dueling has teen revived in Atlanta,
but not by the aristocratic class who
were wont to settle their differences
on the dueling ground in the old days
It was appealed to by two negro
mesesnger boys who decided that the
only way they could make the world
large enough to accomodate one of
them was to remove the presence of
the other.
So one got a pistol and thee other a
long knife, and in the presence of ad
miring friends gathered under the
Viaduct and at the drop of a hat went
for each other’s throats.
The boy who had the pistol fired two
shots but missed both, and by that
time his opponent had closed in and
began to carve. Before the police had
time to interfere he had whittled him
down considerably but no fatal in
juries were inflicted.
The Battle Cry of Peace
A spectator at a moving picture pic
ture is a callous sort. He has had
sudden death and destruction served
up to him too often to have it ruffle
Lis calm exterior. Besides he knows
all this is essential to any film worth
the price of admission. This in gen
eral he is able to sit unmoved, while
the dramatis personae struggle in the
midst of fire, or flood, or famine. It is
not because he is hard-hearted. It is
because there has become firmly in
grained in him the belief that some
where in the last reel there will be
tacked away a happy ending. Be it
said to the credit of “The Battle Cry
of Peace,” produced last night at the
Majestic, that everyone in the crowded
house waited for the happy ending
with strained attention. They read
with general lexcitement the moral of
unpreparedness the filml is supposed
to teach. And their attention changed
to horror when the happy ending, after
hovering about for some time as a re
mote possibility, vanished beneath the
ruins of the city of New York. —Boston

Atlanta Is
Not Observer
Os Lent Time
ATLANTA, Ga., March B.—Will At
lanta observe Lent Foolish question
No. 7,008,839. Answer: Atlanta will
not.
Atlanta society folks awoke Asii
Wednesday morning (today) facing
the biggest list of card parties, dances
and other social functions of the
entire year.
There was a sort of Mardi Gras
masque ball last night, but instead of
being the conclusion of the winter fes
tivities, as it is intended to be in some
cities, the revellers seemed to be just
getting up steam to keep going from
now’ until Easter.
The preachers of the churches
which consider Lent should be ob
served are at a loss to cope with the
situation. They wonder whether Lent
has fallen into disregard in other cit
ies as much as it has in Atlanta.
Instead of beginning with prayer
ar d fasting this Ash Wednesday. Lent
starts with a tea dance at the Driving
club, another dance Thursday night
at the Athletic club, and a dance Fri
day night at the Capital City club, not
to mention a Saturday afternoon tea
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1915
dance at the Druid Hills club, just to
round-out the w.eek.
Several elaborate home parties and
receptions are also on the schedule
for the next few days.
