RUBBER GOODS" =Fresh and Reliable
Of course any dealer can get quality rubber goods by purchasing
from the leading manufacturers. But rubber deteriorates very rapidly—
hence one of the most important things to consider in connection with the
buying of a rubber article is freshness.
All of our rubber goods come direct from the manufacturers and we
do not overstock—therefore we can always have fresh goods—all real live,
elastic rubber.

home should have one.

ars and a physician of ability And pro
-1 fessional skill, died at his home, Se|>-

Dr. Turk had been in poor health
for several years. His case was one
which baffled his own skill, as well
as the many authorities to whom he
went for advice and the best of effic
ient-service rendered by hospitals and
nurses. His spirit was indomitable,
and while family and friends had given
up all hoi>e of his recovery for months
and years and he was greatly withered
and emaciated, he retained his pa-
I nence and courage to the last, and un
| til the shades of night were falling, on
the evening of September oth his spirit
passed into the great beyond.
Dr. Turk was born in Canton, July
2, 1869. He graduated from Dahlonega

tice medicine and became a leading
physician of this county and section of
Georgia and a highly esteemed eitiziu

and influential in ihe civic affairs of
bis county.
Asa man, Dr. Turk was a delighi
ful and interesting companion a. true
and loyal' friend. He had a big heart
and a readiness to respond to every
call of distress, whether professional
or personal. There was never a night
too dark or stormy or the way too far
to go but that, when called, he was
ready to administer to those lie served.
The community in which fie lived suf
fers a distinct and personal loss, and
the county one of its most useful citi
zens and friends, and acquaintances
a public spirited, genial and lovable
companion.
In early life Dr. Turk united with
the Methodist church and his faith and
fidelity as a Christian was manifested
throughout his life and particularly in
his last days, and his love for the good
