DOUBLY PROVEN.
Newnan Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.
This Newnan citizen testified long
ago.
Told of quick relief—of undoubted
benefit.
The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete —the evi
dence conclusive.
It forms convincing proof of merit.
W. T. Lasenby, 64 Wesley St., New
nan, says: "The kidney secretions were
too frequent in passage and I suffered
from backache for several years. I
tried different remedies but they all
failed to correct the trouble. Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured from the J. F.
Lee Drug Co., gave me immediate re
lief.”
The above statement was given Feb.
1908, and on Feb. 26. 1915, Mr.
Lazenby said: “I still use Doan’s
Kidney Pills once in a while and they
keep my back and kidneys in good con
dition. ”

Report of Fourth District Convention
at Bullochville, Ga., May 12.
The three words that best express
the Fourth district meeting at Bul
lochville are—Enthusiastic, Successful,
Satisfactory. Every seat in the audi
torium at the school was tilled at both
the morning and afternoon sessions.
About seventy delegates were present,
and representatives from a few non-
federated cluos were so impressed that
they will federate as soon as their
clubs can be consulted. About two
hundred people were in the audience.
The State officers present were Mrs,
Z. 1. Fitzpatrick, our beloved president,
and Mrs. Trox Bankston, treasurer.
The Bullochville brass band met the
incoming train with their inspiring
music, and gave several numbers dur
ing the session. MiBB Mabel Bulloch’s
rendition of the beautiful song, “Let
Us Have Peace,” was thoroughly ap
preciated. Dr. Neal Kitchens’ address
of welcome was a gem of literature and
oratory. This was followed by Mrs. J.
O. Butts with a greeting from the
Civic Improvement Club, who were our
gracious hostesses. Mrs. Moreland
Zellars, of Grantville, made a most
beautiful response to their words of
greeting. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was, as
she always is, most helpful in her ad
dress on “Women’s Club Work. ” She
is so tactful and gentle and wise that
we feel it almost an impossibility for
anyone worthily to take her place.
Mrs. J. L. Bond, of Columbus, agri
cultural demonstrator for Muscogee
county, gave an instructive and illu
minating talk on “Soils,” and on the
girl’s canning clubs. Miss Kobelsper-
ger, superintendent of the Georgia
Training School for Girls, told of her
work and of the school. She was
listened to with rapt attention, and the
enthusiastic interest she aroused was
the most impressive incident of a day
full of good impresBionB. Her mag
netic and vigorous personality and her
earnest Christian viewpoint convinced
everyone that she was indeed the right
woman in the right place. .
A most beautiful luncheon was served
to over a hundred women by the Civic
Improvement Club at the Tuscawilla
Hotel, a handsome building recently
erected and equipped with all modern
conveniences.
The afternoon session was devoted to
club reports, each one of which was
well put together, and Bhowed splendid
work along the lines of education,
civics, literature, music, and welfare
work. Several reports were given
with so much quaint humor as to cause
continuous ripples of laughter from the
audience.
Mrs. Neal Kitchens, of Bullochville,
was unanimously elected to the presi
dency of the Fourth district. Mrs.
Harvey Nimmons, of LaGrange, was
elected secretary. Mrs. Mike Powell,
president, and Mrs. Paul Dismukes,
secretary, were the retiring officers.
At 6 o’clock, after the afternoon ses
sion, tea and sandwiches were served in
the park, which has been made beauti
ful by the women of the club. The
visitors were then given a motor ride
to Warm Springs, which is about a
quarter of a mile on one side of Bulloch
ville, and to the Government Fisheries,
which are about a mile on the other
side of the town. The cordial hospi
tality of its men and women will long
make the memory of Bullochville a
happy one to those who were so for
tunate as to be present.
Man Who Takes His Own Medicine
is an Optimist.
He has absolute faith in his medicine
—he knows when he takes it for cer
tain ailments he gets relief. People who
take Dr. King’s New Discovery for an
irritating cold are optimists—they know
this colngh remedy will penetrate the
linings of the throat, kill the germs,
and open the way for Nature to aet.
You can’t destroy a cold by superficial
treatment—you must g:o to thecauBeof
the trouble. Be an optimist. Get a bot
tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery to-day.

Kidney Trouble Causes
Intense Suffering.
Sixteen years ago I was taken sick
with kidney trouble and suffered terri
bly for thr e months. I did not work
during this time, and was mostly con
fined to the bed. After using other
remedies I finally tried a bottle of
Swamp-Root. I immediately began to
feel better, and after using seven 50-
cent bottles was entirely cured, and
have had no kidney trouble since. I can
truly say that I owe my good health to
Swamp-Root. You may publish thiB
letter for the benefit of other people
afflicted as I was with, the hope of
bringing to their attention this most
won. erful remedy.
Yours very truly,

The Great
“Lusitania” Disaster
The sinking of the British ship, the “Lusitania,” which appalled the world,
put men to thinking, put husbands to thinking, and wives to thinking. Our
hearts go out to the unfortunate Americans who went down with this ill-fated
ship, and yet THEY WERE WARNED! Should we not heed a WARNING?
—A WARNING GIVEN IN TIME? Indeed, the idea of war makes error per
petual.
Like the warrior, unfitted by wounds and disease to longer fight, who re
turns home to be. with his family, (who, although at home, suffered with him,)
and the march their disabilities down they winding ways of Time, peacefully,
quietly, happily—HE WAS PROTECTED. Even though he may not be victori
ous in war, he has conquered WOE, WANT, HATE, FEAR, PENURY.
Protection, the bounteous ancestor of trouble, is what the G. E. Parks In
surance and Realty Co. is now reminding its friends and others—those who do
not wish to be bothered, misled, persuaded or driven, but are seeking sound insur
ance. Forging ahead by the spirit of service, t his company, with all red tape

Figures Tell the Tale
For the sake of satisfying some people who have got it into i
their craniums that Swint is losing out in the grocery busi
ness, I wish to submit a statement of my cash receipts for
the first four months last year and the first four months this
year, which is as follows—
1914
January, $2,428.00
February, 1,940.00
March, - 2,142.00
April, - 2,208.00
1915
January, $2,673.00
February, 2,407.00
March, - 2 453.00
April, - 2,684.00
The above figures are correct. You don’t have to lake our
word for it. Ask Cashier Goodrum, of the Newnan Banking
Co. We don’t put on much style, or cut as many scallops
as some of our competitors;—neither do we claim to have
the grocery business of Newnan sewed up, but we do claim
to be getting our share of it, as the above figures will show.
