The answer is simple enough. The
test of time has proven to people all
over the American continent that Tan¬

and the remarkable relief f t

it brings seems to be more
than ever before believed possible.
Tens of thousands of persons, ev¬

first introduced six years ago, report
that they are still enjoying excellent
health and millions of American homes
are now using Tanlac as the family

LIBERTY'S GREATEST DAY.
Peace on earth and good will to all
mankind was the song in every heart
as the music loving children of the
Heavenly King wended their way to
beautiful historic Liberty church to
-J 0 * 11 singing praise to Heaven for
l he P rlcelass glft of lhe Father’s only
begotten Son to die in our stead, that
|we might inherit eternal life and live
forever in glory beyond the grave.

we could hear some of the singers
humming new and
trim for the best meeting of the year.
Miss Mogene Piper was happier than
usual for some one (we wont tell who)
had gotten tired of waiting for Christ
. mas and had given her a combination
j ving, wrist watch, and other things
that H took three fingers to fill, but
■
stlU she w as happy and we guess he
was equally , as happy.
Miss Lucile Kirkland, who has been
away at the 5th District A. & M. Col¬
lege at Monroe since October, was
present, being home for the holidays
and added much to the occasion by her
charming presence as well as her sweet,
clear toned singing.
Our own quartette, Messrs. S. E.
Coalson, Jesse S. Piper, B. L. Kitchen
and J. F. Norman were present and in
good trim, all eager for the hour to ar¬
rive.
Miss Nettie Lamb, the popular daugh¬
ter of our own Mr. W. H. Lamb, was
home from the Textile Industrial In¬
stitute at Spartanburg, and graced
Liberty with her presence.
Bro. W. H. Piper was still limping
badly, as his foot has not gotten en¬
tirely well yet, but he could sing and
had to come. Such devotion is indeed
laudable, and we wish we had more
like him.
Bro. J. J. Hulsey was as happy as a
good old time Methodist at camp meet¬
ing time and was as eager as a child
for Christmas for the opening.
Bright, beautiful sunshine sent warm¬
ing rays through the air and warmed
the hearts of our people to the task in
hand and made of Liberty Hill and the
pretty little white house the most
sought place in the neighborhood.

For Mogene Piper Acting Pres
ident Atkins presented to the associa¬
tion a beautiful Baton for the use of the
leaders. This Baton is a souvenir of
Stone Mountain, the largest solid
stone in the world so far as is known,
and will be specially prized for its his¬
toric association and the thoughtful
ness of the fair little donor.
Mr. Alex Libert* Day, good, true, fauthful
son of was called first and re¬
sponded with such a splendid selection
that the large audience was caught at
once and joined with hearty good will
in the singing, and “our own Alex” had
added fresh laurels to his crown.
Prof. J. L. Ramsay was called next,
and as usual tried to make an excuse
for his singing by explaining that his
throat was not right. It may not be
just right, but he need not tell people
about It and then sing for people will
not believe him for he is a singer of
ability and his selections are always so
well made that they follow each other
like a well laid sermon.
Our own quartette came next with
one of the most beautiful selections that
has been given by this talented organ¬
ization, which caught and held the
breathless attention of the entire audi¬
ence.
Misses Lucile and Zadie Kirkland
then sang “I’d Like to Be a Little Child
Again” in the plaintively sweet way
that makes their singing a feature of
any gathering and makes us so proud
that they love to come to Liberty and
be with us. ^
That staunch, fearless man of God,
Prof. J. J. Hulsey, was called next and
made his usual hit, completely captivat¬
ing his hearers with such singing as
seldom rings out from human throats.
He requested the secretary to make
special mention of the Newton County
lac. And what is true of Georgia is
also true of every state in the Union
and every province of Canada.
Tanlac has never been advertised as
a cure-all or that it would perform un¬
heard-of wonders. The advertising has
been clean, straightforward and con¬
servative. Actual facts and figures
have been stated and stated in a true,
business-like way that has command¬
ed the confidence of all in the con¬
servative claims set forth.
The enormuos demand for Tanlac is
due to merit alone, for no amount of
advertising would continue to sell any
article that does not possess real mer¬
it. Unless full value underlays the ar¬
ticle advertised, the advertising will
ultimately fall of its own weight. “You
can fool some of the people some of
the time, but you can’t.fool all of the
people all of the time.”
Tanlac has been well advertised, it
is true, but such a large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about bv advertising alone. It is what
the people themselves say that counts.
One bottle of
borhood through advertising, but ten
more are sold in that same community
as a result of the sale of that first bot¬
tle and that is why Tanlac has suc¬
ceeded. People are always willing to
talk about their ailments, but they
are more than glad to tell others of
the medicine that helped them. It is
something they could not keep to
themselves if they tried, for the im¬
pulse to sympathize with your fellow
man and want to help him is one of
the strongest, as well as one of the
biggest, things in human nature.
That is the reason why the people of
Georgia, as those of every other
tion of the United States and Canada,
have become to speak of Tanlac as
World’s Greatest Tonic. And that
the reason why the demand for
remarkable medicine has grown
such proportions that it is almost
possible to keep dealers supplied.
Tanlac is sold in Covington by
City Pharmacy and all leading
• gists.

Business sometimes has to interfere
with our pleasure and it did right here.
President Atkins asked for a
tion for the purpose of buying new song
books for the coming year, and asked
Bros. Hulsey and. Ramsay to “go
through” the audience while Bro. W.
H. Piper was singing and gather up all
the available cash, and they did it, get¬
ting $11.53. He then appointed Presi¬
dent G. W. Andrews, Profs. J. S. Piper
and J. J. Hulsey to select and purchase
the books for 1922.
big hearted, B. L. Johnson,
our efficient and fearless high sheriff,
w.nom we love instead of fear, was call¬
ed next, tried to refuse, but very mod¬
esty got up and said “I’m seared nearly
to death,” and led one of the most bril¬
liant selections of the day.
Upon looking over the audience not¬
ing the pretty faces and happy smiles
of the many fair maidens present with
their adoring beaux, we saw our own
little nightingale way back in the rear
sitting by a good looking man who had
an elegant mass of fair, curiy hair (so
he said) on his manly dome, looking
just like he was enjoying himself. We
at once called him to the front as we did
his companion, Mr. Homer Floyd, and
just made him sing two selections.
Well, you say, did he do it well? Sure,
I said it was John Scott and you dont
get anything but the best when he is
called, even if Bro. Floyd did break a
bench by sitting on it too hard, or
leaning back too long.
Our own quartette was recalled and
sang “One by One," in such a feeling
way that when the last note had soared
its way to where the angels are gath¬
ered around the great white throne re¬
joicing at the sweet songs our Liberty
singers are using in their praise of the
Heavenly King for the matchless gift
of His Son to redeem a wilful world,
the acting president could not refrain
from commenting on the fearful truth
that is so clearly portrayed by it, that
we are being conveyed “One by One”
into our eternal home, and that if we
miss the mansion of glory in the skies
it will be because we will not heed the
loving call of our Father to “come unto
me.” This is a wonderful song and our
own boys sing it well.

***“?““ back to Liberty church which was one
of the most sacred spots on earth to
him, for he was “born” at Its altar, and
loved every inch of this sacred hill. He
complimented our work and said that
such music could not fail to make its
hearers resolve to live closer to God.
and asked the singers to always ask
God to back them up In their efforts,
and wished us all a successful, happy
journey to that joyuos home in Heav¬
en where we are trying to go.
Miss Mogene Piper was then ask ed to
lead at least one song which she did as
only she can. Being of an obliging na¬
ture. and a musical prodigy she is one
of the most valuable members of our
association.
Prof. Homer Floyd was called and re¬
sponded by saying that he led one song
once in his life and got a brick house
for it—one brick at a time—and lived
through that terrible experience, but
would not risk it any more, but that
good singing was the very life of our
Sunday school and church services and
the love of music was a gift from God
to all living things. The birds of the
air, the beasts of the forest, everything
in nature made music in its crude
state, so we should dilligently improve
our talent and lend our aid to the
cause of humanity. He praised Presi¬
dent Andrews and told of his big
hearted generosity, especially in caring
for the sick. That he once had a friend
in the hospital and every day he would
inquire about him until one day the
nurse said “Why he is convalescing.”
"Oh, Lord! I know the poor fellow will
not get over that, so I’ll just stay
around until after the funeral.” said
Mr. Andrews as the tears began to
flow down his manly cheeks. Then he
said he was going to tell something on
us at the next meeting, but we hope he
wont do it, for we like to tell all strang¬
ers all about ourself, for we are the
only one who will tell it to suit us.
By request our own quartette sang
“Mother’s Gone,” followed by “Will My
Mother Know Me There?” and the
sweet, sad words found their way into
every heart and eyes were dimmed
with tears as we looked up to see if the
loving faces of the saintly mothers who
have gone before could be seen looking
down upon their children gathered at
dear old Liberty—listening with rapt
attention to those sweet voices as they
rang out on the balmy air, besseching
them to so live that you may come to
us in this glory land where we can sing
and rejoice all through eternity.
The acting president then sugge sted
that inasmuch as Christmas day should
be observed by praslng God for His
love, and not in the riotous way it is
usually spent, that all the singers and
their friends meet him here on Christ¬
mas afternoon at 2:30 for a song feast.
Prof. S. E, Coalson then sang “Gath¬
ering Home.” followed by Prof. J. S.
Piper with "He is Coming in the
Clouds,” “O Home of Mine,” and with
Prof. Kitchen "Take the Name of Je¬
sus With You.” in his usual matchless
way, and with an earnest prayer led
by Rev. J. B. Gresham, the meeting,
the best in its history, was closed to
meet again on Sunday, January i, 1922,
at 2:30 p. m.

CORPSE OF NEGRO SEIZED
AND HELD FOR DEBT
Florence, Ala.—An undertaker halted
a negro funeral here late Thursday af¬
ternoon with the announcement that no
burial would take place until his money
for the coffin was forthcoming in cash.
The bereaved family could not raise
the required sum, although they offered
all their possessions as collateral and
the body was left in the hands of the
undertaker. The mourners returned to
their homes and the undertaker has the
dead negro and casket on his hands.
First American Novelist.
The man who Is usually referred to
as the first American 'novelist and
whose claim to the title seems to be
undisputed, was Charles Brockden
Brown, who was born in Philadelphia
In 1771, and died in 1810. His best
novel, “Wieland,” is a morbid horror
story, based on ventriloquism, and
while improbable It contains scenes
of great power. He published several
other novels, and In 1799 a book on di¬
vorce and marriage whleh enunciated
many views then considered very radi¬
cal but now widely accepted. No other
novels than his were published by a
native American until the appearance
of “The Spy,” by James Fenimore
Cooper, in 18.81.
