Tifton—Mrs. Sarah Joiner died at
Lenox. She was born December 3,
1826, and was therefore 95 years and
11 days old. She smoked her long pipe
and seemed to relish it, even during
her later days.
Atlanta—C. G. Walker, prominent
Fulton farmer, was clubbed to death
last Tuesday as he left home near the
F'ederal prison to go to work. Burglars
ha% looted his store nearby an hour
before. No clues have been found.
Athens—A gang of auto accessory
thieves continues to harass automobile
owners in Athens, according to reports
to the police headquarters Monday.
For several weeks motor meters, tools,
lights and other accessories have been
stolen from automobiles as they were
parked downtown or even in front of
the home of the owner.
Atlanta—The funeral of Bishop Hen¬
ry Clay Morrison, who died Wednesday
at the home of his son, Dr. Hugh K.

Savannah—“Even when we have
good things to eat, the carrying charg¬
es keep us from making any money',’’
«
notes the Savannah Press. “A Savan¬
nah man, casting about for a gift to
send to his benighted kin in Boston,
concluded that a bushel of Georgia
yams would be about the most accept¬
able thing to give in these days of the
great holidays. So he bought a bushel
of them for sixty cents. Then he went
down to the express office and planked
down $1.80 charges and ten cents war
tax to have ’em forwarded. This is
what makes white farmers in the
South see red.”

Georgia editors are telling some
strange antics of nature. Apples grow
ing in the winter time is a statement
of the Maysville Enterprise, while
down at Lexington Uncle Shack
half grown figs on bushes.
Strawberries are not uncommon,
while In Forsyth mulberries are ripe.
Th» Monroe Advertiser tells the follow-
ing:
Mr. Geo. R. Banks brought to the
Advertiser office this week a twig from
a mulberry tree in his yard. The tree
is of the white everbearing variety
and is living up to its name this year.
The sample submitted by Mr. Banks
showed that the tree was full of ber¬
ries a portion of which werer well ma¬
tured and ripe. This is the second full
crop that the tree has borne this year.

Houston, Miss., reports cherries thur:
While the weather man sat in Wash¬
ington and predicted Jack Frost
weather, residents of Houston went to
their orchards and picked ripe cherries
from the trees.
Savannah, Ga.—Although he is
mayor of the town, E. O. Bryan is not
a citizen of Thunderbolt and cannot
vote in its elections. At the time Mayor
Bryan was elected only persons own¬
ing property in Thunderbolt could
vote. The mayor is a property holder.
He and his aldermen worked to get the
charter changed so all the citizens
could vote. They succeeded. The last
session of the legislature passed a new
charter for Thunderbolt and as a re¬
sult the mayor cannot vote as he lives
just outside the corporate Units. But
he is happy.
ADVOCATES FLAX
AS A MONEY CROP
Mr. C. M. Taylor Suggests That Farm¬
ers Write for Literature Bearing
on the Growing of Flax.
Various crops have l>een suggested
as a substitute for eotton ifv Monroe
county until such a time as the boll
weevil will be found to have departed.
The latest proposition along this line
comes from Mr. C. M. Taylor Who sug¬
gests that flax would be a crop that
would enable the farmers of this coun¬
ty to come back into their own and
would - doubtless be adapted to our
methods of agriculture as well as to
the machinery of the cotton mills of
the South.
Mr. Taylor is of the opinion that
from what he has heard there is per¬
haps no country anywhere that for
soil and climatic conditions is better
adapted to the growth of flax than the
state of Georgia. He suggests that the
farmers write the agricultural depart¬
ment at Washington, D. C., and ask it
to furnish any and all literature they
have bearing upon the subjects of
planting, cultivating, harvesting and
handling of the crop.
Flax grown in Belgium, France, Ger¬
many and Austria, in normal times,
will bring from $389 to $486 a ton. Ir¬
ish flax sells for about $292 and Rus¬
sian for about ..194 a ton. Cotton
handkerchiefs will sell for flee cents
each while a line one of the same size
will bring at least twenty-five cents.
Linen was the first cloth used of
which we have any knowledge. Linen
was used in the construction of
ark when Aaron was high priest.
Some of you farmers, advises Mr.
Taylor, write on to Washington and
let’s see if we cannot get by Mr.
vil by raising something else besides
cotton—Monroe Advertiser.

BEFORE HEALTH
BREAKS DOWN
Wise People Take Pepto-Mangan, the
Blood Builder.
The prevention of sickness is one of
the greatest works of the public health
authorities. People are being taught
how to take care of their bodies so
that they can avoid sickness. In
schools children are being taught hy¬
giene. Serious illness can be avoided
by proper care of the health. Pale fac¬
es, sickly bodies, loss of appetite and
sleep, headaches and nervousness are
usually signs of weak blood. With poor
blood, the body has no resistance.
Disease germs have an easy time of
it. People are learning the necessity
of keeping blood in good condition.
They take Gude’s Pepto-Mangan when
they feel run down. That keeps blood
normal so that it can resist disease.
It is sold both liquid and tablet form
at drug stores. Advertisement.

Thedford’s Black-Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles Re*
suiting from Torpid
Liver.
East Nashville^ Tenn.— The effic¬
iency of Thedford’s Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver mecjicine, and 1
don’t believe I could get along without
It. I take it for sour stomach, head¬
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
“I have known and used It for years, j
and can and do highly recommend It
to every one. I won’t go to bed with¬
out it in the house. It will do all It
clafm3 to do. I can’t say enough for
It.” .
Many other men and women through¬
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr Parsons describe*
—valuable In regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black-Draught liver medi¬
cine is the original and only genuine.
Accept no Imitations or substitutes.

At the meeting of the Eighth Dis¬
trict editors in Athens on Friday, De¬
cember 10th, Hon A. M. Soule let it be
known that he would not accept a
tempting offer from another state.
It was while the editors were guests
of the State College of Agriculture at
a dinner given in th*ir honor that Mr.
Soule let it be known, that he would
not leave the college, notwithstanding
he had been tendered a much better
salary. ^
Oh, it’s fine to come in contact with
a man like that. A man who can look
you squarely in the face and say: “I
am not for sale at any price.” And In
substance that is just what Mr. Soule
said. He assigned as a reason that ha
loves Georgia, her old red hills, her
sons and daughters, her agricultural
products and possibilities ton much to
leave the state.
There are men who place a higher
value on some things than on money.
There are men here and there, who
are not on the market ready to be
knocked off by the auctioneer to the
highest bidder, and Andrew M. Soule
is one of that type.—Commerce News.
More women ought to be engaged in
merchandising -and conducting stores
and places of business throughout th<‘

value to the advertising departments of

time various complications nro apt to
result.
Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive
tonic and quickly overcomes this con¬
dition by aiding Nature to eliminate
the impurities from the system In a
natural way and enable the vtul or¬
gans to properly perform their func¬
tions. That Is why it Is called Na¬
ture’s Medicine.
In fact, there Is not a single portion
of the body that is not benefited by the
helpful action of Tanlac, which begins
its work by stimulating the dlgesttve
and assimilative organs, thereby en¬
riching (he blood and invigorating (ho
entire system. Next, It enables the
weak, worn-out stomach to thoroughly
digest its food and convert the nourish¬
ing elements into bone, blood and mus¬
cle. The result is you feel strong,
sturdy and well with the proper
amount of flesh, as nature Intended.
Tanlac is sold In Covington by the
City Pharmacy and all leading drug¬
gists.
