The Twentieth of March;
Dixie Highway Day
The entire Nation has its eye on the Dixie'High
way; every magazine and nationally circulatinglnews
paper has had columns about this gigantic scheme
of road-building from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mex
ico, and it has been our aim to get Fitzgerald offi
cially on this great highway, to which sooner or
later the Government will apply millions to perfect
and beautify. Through Fitzgerald’s efforts a road
has been built from Macon to Jacksonville, second
to none of the same mileage, in the United States,
within the year and NOW we are facing the final
test. No city has ever had a greater opportunity to
fix itself firmly on the attention of the commission
and its accompanying reporters from the I'great
western newspapers, as can the Colony City of Geor
gia, with its hundreds of prosperous citizens from
every State through which this great highway trav
erses. Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio each
have numbers, of former ‘citizens residing inthe
Colony and;to them should be given the opportunity
to make March 20th, [a banner]dayifor Fitzgerald
and Georgia.™ Let’s all put a shoulder to the wheel
and make it--the biggest attraction ever pulled off
for Georgia. Will YOU help ?
The report of the banquet given by the Board of Education to
the Mayor and Council at the Domestic Science Department of the
High School is especially gratifying to us, as the members of the
Board, excepting Mr. Osborne, who was added to it since then,
fought us to a standstill for five hours, during one of their sessions,
when we personally appeared before them to get the department
esatblished. But one member Dr. W. D. Dorminy, who like our
selves is blessed with “boys” only, favored the proposition when we
started in, but by one o'clock in the morning the entire board voted
to give our crazy notion a trial. It is now in its third year, and we
know of no department of the schools which has been of more prac
tical value to the families, fortunate enough to have “girls” in the
‘classes. We shall always feel proud of the part we had in establish
ing this feature of the High school. The manual training for the
“boys” logically followed as we predicted to the Board originally.

SOUTHER RAILWAY CONDUC
TOR SAYS HIS WONDERFUL‘
RESTORATION TO HEALTH!
IS TALK OF THE YARDS. ‘
“Yes, sir, it 1s a fact, T have taken
zeven bottles of Tanlac and have
_«ined twoary-three rounds,” said
Captain A. H. Miller, one of the best
known tailroad men in Knoxville.
“Beiore I began taking it,” he con
‘tln.‘.( d, “I only weighed one hundred
and fifty-one pounds. I now weigh
one hundred and seventy-four pounds,
and feel like a sixteen-year-old boy.”
Captain Miller, who is the conduc
(tor on trains Nos. 73 and 74, plying
between Knoville and Harriman, on
the Southern Railway had just arrived
in Knoxville, checked out his train
‘and reached his attractive home on
Scott street, when he was met by the
Tanlac Man.
- “I am indeed glad you called,” said
Capt. Miller, as he shook the hand of
the Tanlac representative and invited
him into his spacious parlor. “For
several weeks Mrs. Miller and myself
have been reading the testimonials of
Knoxville citizens regarding the ben
eficial effects derived from taking this
wonderful medicine, and T had prom
ised my wife to go up to the Kuhlman.
Chambless Drug Company’s drug
store and tell them what Tanlac had
done for me, but have been too busy.
“My restoration to health is the talk
of the railroad yards, and every day I
am being congratulated by my friends
upon how well I look.
“I had for years been afflicted with
catarrh and stomach trouble,” con
tinued Capt. Miller, “and when spring
came 1 was in a wretched run-down
condition, @ walking skeleton, if you
please, and just had to drag myself
about, Before I became afflicted with
the terrible double complaint I weigh
ed 190 pounds, and was strong, robust
an healthy. I went from bad to worse
and occassionally was patched up, but
nothing I took in the way of medical
treatment reached the spot, and I was
on the verge of taking an extended
lay-off from my duties.
“I could scarcely eat anything at all,
and what I did eat seemed to sour on
my stomach. I would fill up with gas
and seemed to be bloated all the time.
and my suffering was intense. My
stomach would pain me and burn
like a coal of fire, I was so consti
pated I had to take a purgative pellet
every night to get any temporary re
lief. I was cross and fretful and so
nervous that I had never enjoyed a
night's sleep. Hissing steam, the
noise of the train and the ringing of
the bell grated on my nerves and all
through the hours of the night I could
hear these noises. - #
~ “At times I would have dizzy spells
and would“stagger and frequently had
palpitation of the heart This was my
conditions when I heard of Tanlac I
was willing to try anything to get
well, and started in on a bottle. In
a few days I noticed a marked im
provement in my condition, and sent
and bought six more bottles. I have
take nseve, bottles and here I am, in
better health thap I have enjoyd for
twenty years.
“lI can eat anything, have gained
twenty-three pounds, as I told you be
fore; I am not constipated at all, eat
hearty, sleep well and of mornings
my wife has to pull me out of bed I
sleep so soundly, I sleep all night
without hearing steam whistles and
‘moving cars, and my nerves are now
strong and I hardly know myself, so
great has been my transformation
from a weak, run-down man to a
strong, robust healthy condition that
it is the talk of all those who know
me.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
in all principal cities of the South and
in this city at the Denmark Drug Co.

Spooner had an agreement with the
cashier of the Bank of Donalsonville
to mail checks to the bank for de
posit and draw on his account. The

Spooner drew accordingly. The check
was credited to his account and then

PARENT TEACHERS TO MEET
The Parent Teachers association of
both the high school and ward divi
sions is planning to have a get-to
‘gether evening at the library next
Friday evening March 3.
‘ Both fatlfers and mothers of all the
school children in the city are urged to
be present. We are thoroughly awake
to the fact that there must be a strong
er co-operation not only between pa
tents and teachers but also a deeper
feeling of love and sympathy for the
parents of our children’s companions
which can be brought about only by
better acquaintance. With this pur
pose in view let us meet each other
next Friday evening with a hearty
hand clasp and with a bright smile.
There will be an interesting address
by Dr. Ford, also a delightful musical
program, - M&W

CENTRAL METHODIST
" - CHURCH ITEMS.
The Sunday school attendance yes
terday was unusually fine considering
the cold snap; nearly three hundred
members being in attendance aud
close to two hundred of these on time.
Thig is a fine showing and is illus
t-aine of how the classes are inter
ested in the work. The different
churches of Titzgerald are working
to have every man, woman and child
in the city a member of some Sun
day schcol and the members of Cen
tral Methiodist are certainly doing
their part in this campaign. The ser
mon 2y Bro. Hill at the morning ser
vice was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large congregation present. The even
ing service consisting of reports from
!the different organizations of the
church and short talks on the work of
each, was very interesting and in
structive. Mr. L. O, Tisdel, repre
senting the Men’s Wesley Bible Class
Mrs. R. J. Prentiss, th- Woman’s
Missionary society, M:.:s Hattieman,
the Junior league, Mr. Join Yates, the
Senior League, Mr. Jas. T. Mathis,
treasurer and Mr. W. R. Bowen,
chairman of the Board of Stewards,
each made appropriate remarks con
cerning the work of their individual
departments that were bright, to the
point, and contained much desirable
information. On account of and in
order that the revival meeting planned
should not conflict with other events
the time was moved up one week; that
is, the meeting will begin one week
earlier than-at first stated.
Sunday school teachers are urged to
be present at next Wednesday’s
prayer service, 7:30 p. m. This is an
important meeting and every teacher
is expected. J. A. MURPHY.
