NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, DEG. 17, LOOKED GOOD TO HIM. Hr wan a littli* lawy*»r man Who aoftly bloahad an ho bfljran liar poor dead huxbnnd'n will In fican. Ilo Hmilixl whilo thinking of hiH f«**\ Thrn Mid to hor no tenderly “You havo n nice 1 at legacy.” And when next day h** lav in bad With hnridngoa upon hia head. He wondered what on earth he'd amid Rev. S. D. Cremean Has Made $30,000 in Cotton. Atlantn, Gn., Dec. 11. —Buying two hales of cotton on an impulse four years ngo, Rev. Stephen D. Cremean later selected dealing in the staple as a method of raising a sum with which to build a vocational school. A minister of the North Georgia Methodist Conference, he has found time to study the cotton market and to deal in the product along extensive lines, Starting with $300, Wednesday he found that his holdings are valued at more than $30,000 at the present price of cotton. He is retaining the cotton with the belief that the near future will see belter prices prevailing throughout the Southern States. Mr. Cremean has just come to Atlan ta to accept the pastorate of Mount Vernon MethodiHt church, at Inman Yards. He came here from Newnan and was preparing Wednesday morning to return to that place to settle up his affairs, when he tabulated his ware house receipts to find that his $.300 hns grown to $.30,0110. Mr. Cremean isn't the only member of the family who was a victim of the “cotton craze,” for he has a 12-year- old daughter who has collected dimes enough in threes years to accumulate $300, just the umount with which her father made his start. While sitting on hia front porch at Newnan four years ago two members of his congregation passed. They were driving n wagon laden with two bales of cotton, and they stopped for a chut with their pastor. The latter remarked that he had re ceived some cotton from a farm which he owned near Newnan and had stored it, being unwilling to sell at the mar ket price. “I want to sell now,” said one of the cotton-growers. “I think the price is good enough.” The minis ter didn't agree with the member of his Hock, whereupon the latter, in a spirit of fun, asked the preacher why he didn't buy. The challenge was accepted and the two bales constituted his lirat pur chase. On them was borrowed enough money with which to make additional purchases. Every time cotton went down Mr. Cremean bought with all the money he could borrow. When the market advanced, he sold. For four years he has been following this method of increasing his wealth. Twelve-year-old Falescia Cremean no ticed that her father was studying the cotton quotations and was making more frequent trip* to the bunks. For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. Cro- meun had made it a rule to give thuir only daughter every dime that cumc into the family treasury. Many pieces of change of this denomination were re ceived and the little girl saved them carefully, ull the while asking her fath er what pleasure he got out of cotton quotations. Ono day he explained to her how money could be made. It wasn't long before the prices dropped. The little girl approached her father with a suck full of dimes. He didn’t know she bad so many. She told him she had saved just enough to buy a bale of cotton and asked him to make the deal. Now they are partners in the business, and she is us familiar with the market page as he is. Wed nesday she declared unhesitatingly that when the market was over 15 cents she would sell. "Until then,” she told a reporter who was asking hor about her deals and the prospect of buying soma cotton, “there’s no use to talk to me about selling. Mine is not for sale." The love between a mother und daughter is a very gracious tie, but to gain it you must find the golden mean ing between priggishness and want of dignity, for you must enjoy life with out being frivolous. You must guide unconsciously, so that the check is un noticed. You must learn the art of, making new friendships, to appreciate new impressions, to move with the times; and, above all, you must never appear dowdy. It is a great mistake, but, alas! too common a one, to neglect dress;—it is absolutely imperative tnat the middle-aged woman be garbed be comingly and well. Dress, to a woman, is like the setting to a jewel. It is a duty they owe to themselves and to the world in general. We are always in fluenced by our surroundings, and a well-dressed woman has the same effect on our senses as a charming pic ture or a melodious strain of music. There is a dignity, as well as a grace, in dress which does much to influence those about us. It is the duty of every woman, at all times of her life, to look as beautiful as possible. -♦ ■ ■ ■ — Bear This in Mind.

REV. A. H. SYKES, OF NASHVILLE, NOW TESTIFIES. Minister of the Oospel Thinks it His Duty to Make Statement About Wonderful Change. It is seldom, indeed, that men of prominence, especially ministers of the gospel, willingly express their indebt edness publicly to a proprietary medi cine. However, when efficiency that is shown by the uniform preparation, Tan- lac, statements from our best citizens are to be considered throughly cummen- surale with the good that is actually being accomplished, Rev. A. H. Sykes, paHtorof the Wat kins Park Presbyterian Church, Nash ville, Tenn., prominent not only as a minister of the gospel, but popular as a man and citizen who has been true to his friends and every trust ever reposed in him, said recently: “For the past ten months Mrs. Sykes has been in very delicate health, suffer ing from had stomach and kidney trou bles, which gradually developed into a general nervous 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 that I fuel it my duty to let every one know what this medicine has done for her. For several months her con dition was such that she had to remain in bed, and as a last resort I decided to let her try Tunlac. "I am a conservative man and have always been skeptical regarding the use of proprietary medicines, but this case has certainly proven an exception. I am now lirmly convinced that Tanlac ih a medicine of great power and ex traordinary 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 medi cine when wo began to notice a marked improvement in her condition. In less thun a week from the time she began taking it she was nble to sit up, and is to-day able to help with the household duties. Before she began taking Tan lac she had fearful pains in her side, und suffered constantly from sour stomach anti indigestion, and was in tensely nervous. These distressing symptoms, I am thankful to say, have entirely disappeared, her appetite has returned, und she seems to relish every thing she eats. She sleeps better und is gaining strength and flesh rapidly. I think it only a question of a short time until her health is fully restored. "Tunlac has certainly proven a re markable remedy in her case, and will do all you claim for it. I cheerfully rec ommend it to my friends.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Newnan by Odom Drug Co. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Moreland by L. S. & A. Q. Young. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Senoia by Hollberg's I’harmacy. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Grant- vilie by Culbreath's Pharmacy.—Adv. Get That Money Out of the Fence Corner. Pro^rMNivo Farmer. Some time ago we quoted the follow ing from a contemporary: "The other day while riding along the road our surprise may be imagine!) when we discovered $-10 lying half hid den by weeds and briars in Farmer Jones' fence corner. It had evidently been lying there all fall and winter, and was rapidly becoming unrecogniz able because of exposure to the weath er. We were the more amazed at the sight when we remember that Jones is not generally considered a wealthy man, and that last fall, to pay hlsdebts, he had to sacrifice his cotton at six cents a pound. The $40 we refer to was in the form of a riding cultivator purchased leas than a year ago.” We wonder how many Farmer Joneses a census of the Cotton States would re veal? Certainly while wo are urging the use of more improved farm implements the time is appropriate for stressing the necessity for their better care. Paint, oil and housing are three things required. His First Birthday. H.rry Stillwol! Edwards in Atlanta Cor.tOitutton. Eleven years ago a boy t | Some time ago a party named BroWn i married a pretty little thing, and after born in I t * le usual honeymoon the young couple Atlanta. Hia birthday had never been celebrated. People do not celebrate tragedies. He grew up on a quilt and the floor of an almost bare room. He was more than orphaned, since he was at once deserted by his father, and the motherhood of his mother perished in her battle with life. Early—that is, when he wa3 able to move about without a hand in his or a skirt to cling to—he waH put out day by day on the street to care for himself. After a while he was g^ven a nickel, on which to sustain his starved little body. He did it, somehow, in some way. The good God knows the whole story. None else. For ten tragic years this boy saw the well-clothed, well-fed children of the city at play, or hurrying to and from school; the lights in their homes, and their shadows on the curtains. For ten years he pressed his face against the glass, behind which lay the dainty food of restaurants, and breathed through the swinging doors his share— the rich odors. For ten years he heard the church bells ring above his head and the sweet voices of the choir singers chant the birth of a Child in a manger. For ten years his hand touched no llower; the song of no bird reached him. Then the miracle! Someone who had, doubtless, read over a thousand times the tender words of the Master, "Suf fer little children to come unto me and forbid them not,” heard from afar a spiritual translation, very simple, very beautiful: “Help little children to come unto me, and hinder them not.” The gloved hand was bared and the soiled hand of the little boy rested in it. With that touch the world changed. Life that was strange and far otf drew near. The people in their cars seemed friendly. The stately marble of the churches was clothed with warmth and color. Out of the street, all wondering, came the little waif. He stood at_ the parting of liie ways. He had stepped from darkness and a living death into sunlight and immortal life. What a revelation, if the lonely, starving soul of that boy could have expressed itself! Vibrant, alert, and responsive to the spiritual touch that found him in the shadow, this little boy is at school in a beautiful valley of North Georgia. Na ture and nature’s God are shaping him in the dawns and sunsets and peace of the mountains. On the tenth of next month a little group of girls up at the North Avenue Presbyterian church are to celebrate the birthday of this little boy. It will be the first celebration. The day no longer wears the hue of tragedy; it is clothed with beauty, and radiant with the reflected glory of the world's great est drama. The little boy will not be there, but his friends will gather, and from this meeting will go for him a guarantee of one more year in his dreamland. One more? Well, that is the way they are caring for him, these little mothers, one year at a time. They will not let him go back to misery. He is no longer an orphan; the girlhood, the womanhood and the motherhood of Atlanta have joined hands around him and have built him a “nest in the great ness of God. ” Owes Her Good Health to Chamber lain's Tablets. “I owe my good health to Chamber lain’s Tablets,’’ writes Mrs. R.

No use to look to Germany, the normal source of sup ply, for Potash can’t be gotten from there now. But you can get Potash right here at home, in fer tilizer which contains as a source of its ammonia COTTON SEED MEAL Every pound of Cotton Seed Meal, in addition to supplying from ~i', to 8 V of Ammonia, also contain 2j' i of Phosphoric Acid and an average of 2',7> of Potash. When your fertilizer contains Cotton Seed Meal, it not only supplies your soil with the desired amount of ammonia, but also gives to it Potash in the most desirable form and in an amount larger than can be obtained from any other source of ammonia. In addition it furnishes over 2‘; of Phosphoric Acid, another most important and valuable element of plant food, which fact is not generally appreciated. The fact must not be lost sight of that in using Cotton Seed Meal you have a fertilizer which feeds the growing plant grad ually during its entire growth and leaves in the soil a most valuable humus with which to sustain succeeding crops. A demonstration recently conducted at the State College of Agriculture, extending over two years, proved that the best production per acre was made through the use of Cotton Seed Meal as a source of ammonia. When your fertilizer is based upon Cotton Seed Meal, it contains all that the other sources of ammonia have, and in addition, Potash, which the other sources have not.
