; Lynnwood
By Mrs. Lon, Dickey.
Someday when youare tired of
the city’s rountine and feel that
you want ‘‘something different,”’
should you chance to bear claim
to the friendship of Mr. and Mrs,
Sidney Clare, take a trip to their|
lovely country home four miles
north of town.
From the moment you enter
the broad gates of Lynnwood,
you have that feeling that you
are in a different world, —an at
mosphere that breataes of a far
country. The curve of the drive
ways, and the grouping of pro
tected trees, show the hand of
an artist before you even see the
beautiful paintings done by the
owner of the estate of some
several thousand acres, and a
welcome is even whinnied by the
splendid horses with docked tails
as they canter along excitedly by
your car and rush ahead as
though to herald your coming.
A group of low-roofed build
ings, over which clamber ivy,
rose vines, and wistaria, first
greet the eye. A quaint belfry
covers the farm bell, and swal
lows circle about it and the
chimney tops. A modern, three
storied white house, has been
added recently, its terraced
grounds overlooking a tree-bord
ered lake. As you stand on the
bank through which the lake
e‘l‘npties. and listen to the water
as it rushes and trickles through
native rock boulders, you are
charmed with the reflection in
the mirror-like surface of an
arched, white bridge, pictures
que boat houses, and hillside
covered with dark green pine
and a gorgeous glow of autumn
leaves in red, yellow and brown.
In this setting isa large table
rock on which is soon to be built
a chapel without which the
estate would be incomplete.
But it is within doors that you
feel best, sitting before the deep
fireplaces with their cheerful log
fires in the long, sunny sitting
room, and gaze upon the beauti
ful paintings which rest above
the mantel and line the walls,—
*‘White Heaven”, Cumberland,
England, the village where the
owner of Lynnwood was born,
nestling among rugged -cliffs
around which white sea gulls
circle and against which foam
capped waves beat and break.
In this village is the English
Lynnwood, the ancestral home
of the Clares. Many other Eng
lish scenes have been pictured by
the inspired brush of the artist,
slender-bodied greyhounds stand
ing on lone rocks would take a
connoisseur in art to detect from
famous masterpieces.
Beautiful hospitality is dis
pensed by host and hostess, one
must eat or drink something
while there, And when you
have seen the polished curly pine
wood work, the stairway with
its grandfather clock and at last
your host holds open the lane
gate for you to pass out, you are
so glad it is “au revoir’’ and not
good-bye, —that you may come
again and see this ‘‘Bit of old
England, planted among the pine
hills of Georgia, United States of
America.”

STRIPED BASS.
They Are Quick as a Flash and Will
Fight to the Finigh.
At the aquarium it will be notie
ed that before feeding time the big
striped bass swim lazily and indif
ferently near the bottom, moving
sluggishly, as one often sees big
striped bass swim in the shallow wa
ter just beyond the surf line. No
body who does not know would
imagine then that they are fish of
incredible swiftness.
The food, consisting of live kil
lies, is thrown in by handfuls. Be
fore the first handful gets a chance
to sink an inch below the surface
the water is a fizz with the bass,
and the killies disappear so quickly
that the eye cannot see them go.
This is repeated again and again
until the first hunger is satisfied.
Then the bass ease off.
Lying on the bottom, they watch
for some particularly tempting kil
lie. When a bass sees one he is up
and back again almost before one
perceives that he has moved. And
the killie is inside of him.
After watching them for a few
minutes the striped bass angler will
realize more clearly than he could
realize from weeks and months of
fishing how carefully the bait must
be watched and how swiftly a bass
can strike if he feels like it. He
will learn also that it is futile to
expect to feel a nibble first, if strip
ed bass are really hungry. The fish
takes the food with a rush that
would mean a smashed or lost rod if
it were held by a careless angler.
When the angler is rewarded by
the sharp strike, quick as a flash of
lightning, it is nip and tuck, a rush
here and a rush there, and the man
behind the rod is winding rapidly
to prevent the line from fouling on
the rocks which the striped bass is
making for. Shy at first in taking
the bait, he is no longer.shy, but a
fighter. He is in the fight to win if
he can. Out into the channel or the
tideway, into the deeper water, be
cause he does not like to fight in a
corner, he will dodge around the
rocks, prepared for a long run, and
with terrific dashes and splashes he
makes the struggle for freedom
from the k' ok. Now he stops short
—he is sulking. The dash is still
in him, but he stops short with a
determination that seems to ask,
“Well, what are you going to do
about it ?”
The striped bass is an uncertain
fellow, but in general the fish are
hungriest at late dusk. The largest
fish resort to the rocky shores of
bays and inlets, the smaller ones to
the tideways, and the smallest ones
to the shallow waters.—New York
Times.
A Fitzgerald Interview
Mr. Harnish Tells
His Experience.
The following brief account of
an interview with a Fitzgerald
man six years ago ‘and its sequel,
will be read with keen interest by‘
every citizen. |
Fred A. Harnish, shoemaker,}
215 Roanoke Drive, Fitzgerald,
says: ‘“My back caused me a lot%
of annoyance, I had a constant
lameness and soreness across my?
loins and it hurt me to get upl
from my bench while working.
Plasters and liniments didn’t give
relief. One box of Doan’s Kidney
Pills removed the lameness and
soreness in my back.,
Over six years later, Mr. Harn
-Ish said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills
did me a lot of good and I am glad
to again recommend them.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—

that Mr. Harnish has twice pub

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, MONDAY, DEC. 27, 1915
Rev. A H: Sykes
Now Testifies
It is"seldom, indeed, that men of
prominence, especially ministers
of the gospel willingly express
their indebtedness publicly toa
proprietary medicine. However,
when a medicine obtains that sin
gular purity and efficiency that
is shown by the uniform prepara
tion, Tanlac, statements from our
best citizcns are to be considered
thoroughly commensurate with
‘the good that is actually being ac
complished.
~ Rev. A. H. Sykes, Pastor of the
Watkins Park Presbyterian church
jNasbville, Tenn., prominent not
}only as a minister of the gospel,
‘but popular as a man and citizen
‘who has been true to his friends
iand every trust ever reposed in
}him, said recently:
; “For the past ten months Mrs.
Sykes has been in very delicate
‘health, suffering from bad stomach
%and kidney troubles, which gradu
ally ueveloped into a general ner
vous breakdown. At times her
condition became alarming, and I
frequently sought medical advice,
but nothing we could do for her
seemed to bring relief,
“In fact, she suffered so long
and so;much I felt it my duty to
let everyone know what this medi
cine has done for her, For several
months her condition was such
that she had to remain in bed, and
as a last resort I decided to let her
try_Tanlac.
“I am a conservative man and
have always been skeptical re
garding the use of proprietary
medicines, but this case has cer
tainly proven an exception. lam
’now firmly convinced that Tanlac
15 a medicine of great power and
extraordinary merit. I do not
think I have ever seen anything to
give such prompt results. Mrs,
Sykes had taken only two-thirds
of a bottle of this medicine wren
we began to notice a marked im
provement in her condition. In less
than a week from the time she be
gan taking it she was able to sit
up and is today able to help with
the household duties. Before she
began taking Tanlac she had fear
ful pains in her side and suffered
from sour stomach and indigestion
and was intensely nervous. These
' distressing symptoms, I am thank
ful to say, have entirelv disap
peared, her appetite has returned
and she seems to relish everything
‘sbe eats. She sleeps better and is
gaining strengsh and flesh rapidly
I think it only a question of a short
time until her health is fully re
stored.
“Tanlac has certainly proven a
remarkable remedy in her case
and will do all you claim it, I cheer
fully recommend it to my friends.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in
Fitzgerald by Denmark Drug Co.
