SUMMER MONTHS
Summer months is the time for the farmer to finance
his land holdings. THIS summer every farmer who owes
money on his farm ought to arrange for a long time loan.
There never was a better time than right now to secure
money readily and on favorable terms. What the condi¬
tions may be next fall, no one can tell. I have instruc¬
tions to place $100,000 during the next 90 days in farm
loans. Large loans ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 are
wanted, but smaller loans will be quickly handled.

THE COVINGTON NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 22,1916,
II MADE NEW
MANE ME
ENGINEER WAS IN BAD HEALTH
TEN YEARS—SAYS TANLAC DID
HIM MORE GOOD THAN
EVERYTHING ELSE.
“This Tanlac is certainly a railroad
man's medicine and that is all there is
to it,” said W. G. T. Newman, a well
known W. & A. engineer.
“Yes, sir,” lie continued, “it has sim
ply made a new man out of me and I
can now mount my engine and feel
as young as I did when I first got my
run, and I expect to take it along with
me on my engine for some time to
come.
“I had been suffering from a mean,
nagging stomach trouble for ten or
twelve years, and Tanlac was the only
thing I ever got hold of to give me
and relief.
“My doctor said I had acid stomach,
and I guess he was right because I
always had a sour taste in my mouth,
and was constantly belching up sour
gasses.
“My digestion was awful and some¬
times my food just seemed to lay in
my stomach like lead and then gas
.vould form and I would have a full,
aloated feeling that would last for
hours. Sometimes my stomach would
swell up so I could hardly get my
»reath. At other times I would have
pains in my back over my kidneys that
-vould almost bend me double.
“I was tired and worn out most all
ihe time and was so nervous 1 would
almost scream, and was easily fretted.
Then again I would have headaches
ind felt sore all over.
“I bought Tanlac because of the high
testimonials of my railroad friends,and
; can understand now why they all
allowed their names to be published.
1 think it is a medicine that everybody
should know about, because it has done
me more good than every other medi
•ine I have taken put together.
“My appetite is good now and every¬
thing I eat agrees with me. I am not
nervous any more either and can take
more interest in everything. That’s
what this medicine has done for me.”
Mr. Newnan, who made the above
-itatement. has been an engineer on the
W. & A. railroad between Atlanta and
Dalton for the past twelve years, and
his hundreds of friends all along that
livision, and at his home in Dalton,
will be glad to hear of his complete
restoration to health.

Boys’ and GiWShort Courses
Prize Winners In Club Contests To
Spend Ten Days At College
August 8-18
(ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.)
The annual Boys’ and Gills’ Short
Course will be held at the Georgia
State College of Agriculture August
8-18, 1916. It is expected that about
300 boys and girls who have won
scholarships to this short course will
come to Athens, enjoy themselves and
at the same time acquire useful in¬
formation and an inspiration that will
do them good for the remainder ot
their lives.
Preparations have been made to take
the very best care of the boys and
girls. They will find rooms at the
University dormitories and use the
University dining room,
grounds, gymnasium and, in fact, will
have everything the University pos¬
sesses at their disposal. The courses
of instruction will be given at the Ag¬
ricultural College. These courses will
be interesting, practical and suited to
students at the age of boys and girls.
While attending the Short Course
the boys and girls will be under strict
supervision of those appointed to have
charge of them, and such regulations
will prevail as that parents may be
assured that their children are well
looked after.
The scholarships held by the boys
and girls should pay railroad fare and
board while in Athens. Parents should
encourage their children to make use
of the scholarships. It will mean
much to them. It may mean th
turning point in their lives. Determ
nations may be made which will ulti
mate in the achievement of great pur
poses, and it will doubtless be a mem
orable occasion for all.
Not only is the Short Course open
for girls and boys who hold scholar
ships, but other girls and boys who
are properly recommended by county
agents, may register and take advan¬
tage of the course. They must, of
course, pay their own railroad fares
and board while in Athens.
The Short Course for girls and boys
was changed from mid : winter to Au¬
gust in the belief that it would not
only suit the girls and boys better, but
in order to better take care of them
at the College of Agriculture than is
possible while school Is in session.
For further information a letter di¬
rected to the College of Agriculture
will bring a circular or a personal
letter.
