SAVE TALLULAH, SAYS MRS. LONGSTREET Continues to Make Patriotic and Eloquent Appeals to All Georgians. Nearly 3,000,000 of Georgians have already issued the chalenge to battle. Our proud old commonwealth is today clad in the armor of war. Thers is one sentiment—one prayer—one battle cry—going up 1 from the great heart of Georgia: “Save Tallulah!” Within sight of the mountains from whose shadows I write flow the golden waters which inspired Lanier’s “Song of the Chattahoo chee,” while another minstrel voice has sung: “The red old hills of Georgia-” And the fairest spot on these eternal hills is Tallulah, on the granite rocks of Rabun. The knights of the round table never buckled on armor in a more chivalrous cause than the millions of Georgians who challenge an iniquitous water power trust, the Georgia Railway and Power com pany, to mortal combat over Tal lulah Falls. Tallulah’s sky is an inverted chalice of gold. Every tree on Tallulah’s hill sides is choir loft of music. Every stretch of Tallulah’s landscape is a garden of incense. More weary of wing than Noah’s dove when it fluttered back to the windows of the ark, would be the bird today, which would seek to find in either hem isphere of the globe a fairer spot than Tallulah. This majestic waterfall vies in beauty with the far-famed cata ract of the Niagara. There is nothing to equal it in the snow white chain of the gi eat Rockies. Travelers who have explored the Alps and the Andes—who have penetrated into Asia and as far distant as the Hymalayas— and who have stood beyond the Pyramids of Egypt and the cata racts of the Nile, have found no thing as fair as Tallulah, in the mountains of Dixie. In an evil hour this Kohinoor, this crown jewel in the diadem of our mountain scenery, has been seized, in defiance of law, by the Georgia Railway and Pow er company, and we are threat ened with the loss of this price less heirloom which has come down to us from the immemorial ages. We are completing an alpha betical list of the membership of the Tallulah Falls Conservation association and it will number more than 20,000,000 of Ameri cans in every state and territory, more than a million and a half of whom dwell within the borders of Georgia. We put C. Elmer Smith and his associates on no tice that they face Anglo-Saxons who know how to fight. They have come into our state to con summate desecration at which the vandals of Italy would have hesitated. They have invaded Georgia to take from Georgians their fairest inheritance. The integrity and the courage of nearly 3,000,000 of Georgians is pledged to drive them beyond the borders of this proudest among the southern sisterhood of states, and peace will never be declared until this has been accomplished.

Bartlett. Mr. Cooper is in Jack son attending superior court, and is meeting a number of the vot-' ers of the county.

Atlanta, Feb. 22.—From pure ly practical and economic stand points, a hard fight will be made in the legislature this summer for : bi-ennial sessions. Advocates of the liberal idea will put forth one argument and will stick to it, calling on the people of the state to back them up, and express to their repre sentatives their desire on the subject. Bi-ennial sessions, it will be argued, will save the people of Georgia between $35,000 and $40,000 at least every year. On this ground the fight will be made. The legislators who want bi ennial sessions are in the minori ty now. They cannot win unless they get the help of the public, for most of the senators and leg islators want to come to Atlanta at the state’s expense just as of ten as they can, and will keep on coming until their own constitu ents make it plain to them that once every two years is often enough. J. I. CALHOUN. We are caused to sorrow be cause of our inestimable loss, in the death of our much esteemed brother, J. I Calhoun, who died Dec. 17, 1911. Brother Calhoun identified himself with the church over fifty years ago and for more than half a century has mani fested such an interest in the welfare of the church that to say we miss him but faintly ex presses our feeling of unspeaka ble loss. By his faithful attend ance, generous support and noble character, he endeared himself to us and, in fact, to all who were fortunate enough to know him. He served our church as deacon since its organization. Brother Calhoun loved his church and gave it a great place in his life. He loved his Lord and we are sure that the faithfulness, liberality and devotion which he always manifested were prompt ed by that love. We must meek ly bow in humble submission to the will of Him Who doeth all things well, for we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Therefore, be it resolved — 1. That in the death of Bro. Calhoun the Tarrytown Baptist church sustains the loss of one of its most faithful and consecrated members. 2. That the bereaved family has suffered the loss of a true and devoted father. The com munity has lost one of its most splendid citizens and neighbors. 3. That we bow in humble resignation to the divine will of our Heavenly Father in taking from us our much esteemed and dearly beloved brother, remem bering that our loss is his eternal gain. 4. That we extend to the be reaved family our deepest sym pathy and pray God’s blessings to attend them in this their sor rowing hour. 5. That a copy of these reso lutions be spread upon the church record, that a copy be presented to each of the surviving children and be printed in the Montgom ery Monitor and Christian Index.

Hamilton, ‘ MT. VERNON, GA. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, FEB. 29, 1912. Nervous Prostration For Three Years “Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv ine cured me of a period of nervous prostration of over three years duration, and the Anti- Pain Pills are as necessary to us as the roof of our house. They have been household rem edies with us for many years.” WM. J. LOUGIIRAN, 1214 Catherine St., Philadelphia, Penna. Much sickness is due to nerv ous troubles. Headache, diz ziness, epilepsy and insanity are nervous troubles. Then there is a large class of disorders which arise from a weakness of the nerves of an organ or part, as weak lungs, heart, stomach, kidney, bladder, eyes, etc. Dyspepsia and indigestion are usually the result of nervous disorders. Restorative Nervine soothes the irritated nerves, and assists the nerve cells to gener ate nerve force. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Is sold by all drug gists. If the first bottle falls to benefit, your druggist will return your money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
