Club
The first of the year the Central of
Georgia railway announced as prizes in
the four-crop contests that it would
give to the winning member of the
Hoys’ Corn Club in each of the coun
ties traversed by the Central’s lines a
pure-bred Shorthorn bull. Thos. Hall
has been declared the winner of the
prize sot apart to Coweta countv, and
is now in possession of the splendid an
imal donated by the railway company.
Formal announcement of the award is
made in the following communication
to The Herald from Mr. .1. F. Jackson,
agricultural agent of the Central of
Georgia railway—
“Savannah, Ga., Dec. 22, 1915.
“Editor Herald, Newnan, Ga. —Dear
Sir: 1 expect you have printed mention
of the fact that Thos. Ball is the win
ner of the Four-crop Club contest in
your county; but 1 thought you might
be interested in the enclosed letter of.
congratulation written by President
Winhurn, advising the boy that lie is to
receive the Shorthorn bull we offered
as a prize. This hull, which is pure
bred, (registry name and number of
which is ‘Buckley 10972(5,’) has been on
the farm of Mr. A. W. Arnall for sev
eral months, and Mr. Arnall has now
delivered the hull to Mr. Ball. From
the enclosed circular you will note we
are again offering to give bulls us
prizes in 1910, and I understand an ef
fort has been made to again organize a
Four-crop Club of twenty-five or more
members in Coweta county to assure
the securing of another bull for the
winner next year. I feel sure you
agree with me'that this Four-crop Club
is a good thing, that it will encourage
the coming generation of farmers, and
that the bull will stimulate interest in
the ruising of better cattle. Any men
tion you can consistently make of the
Four-crop Club and the prizes offered
for same is sure to help the work, and
will be greatly appreciated both this
company and by the county agent in
charge of Boys’ Club Work, under
whose supervision the clubs are organ
ized and the contests held.
“Yours truly,
“J. F. Jackson,
“Agricultural Agent.”
to the
President Winburn’s letter
prize-winner is as follows—
“Mr. Thos. Ball, Newnan, Ga., U. F.
D. No. 2 —Dear Sir: We have formal
advice from Mr. J. K. Giles, State
Agent in Boys’ Club Work, that you
are the winner of the Shorthorn bull
offered by this company as a prize for
the Four-crop Club cjntest in Coweta
county, and I desire to congratulate
you, not only upon having won this
valuable prize, but upon your energy
and ability as a farmer, which is prov
en by the fact that you made greater
net profits from your one acre in corn,
one acre in cotton, and one acre in win
ter oats, followed by cowpea hay, than
any other boy who entered the Four-
crop contest in your county, For the
Central of Georgia Railway Co. I take
pleasure in advising that we are glad
to give you this bull as a reward for
your efforts, and trust you may be able
to make good use of him, and that as a
result of your ownership of the bull
you may become as successful in stock-
raising as you have proven yourself to
be in crop-growing. We note, as a re
sult of the bulls given as prizes last
year, an active interest is being taken
in the raising of better cattle in most
of the counties where the Four-crop
winners received bulls, and we trust
such may be the case in your commu
nity. Mr. J. F. Jackson, our Agricul
tural Agent, will arrange to have the
bull delivered to you as early as it is
possible to do so.
“Yours sincerely,
“W. A. Winburn, Pres’t. 1
Holiday Events at Lutherville.
One of the beautiful events of the
holidays was the dining given by Mr,
and Mrs. John W. Trammell at their
lovely country home near Lutherville
on Sunday last. The dining-room was
beautifully decorated. Covers were
laid for nineteen. In the center of the
table was a miniature Christmas cake,
and the buffet, from which four courses
of salad and sweets were served, was
adorned with cut-glass vases filled with
narcissus. The guests were Mrs.
Hiram Martin, near Moreland; Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Hugh Young and chil
dren, of Atlanta; Mrs. M. A. Lambert,
of Grantville, (a great aunt of Mrs. J.
W. Trammell;) Messrs. Geo. and Don
ald Martin, of Atlanta; Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Jackson and children, of Luther
ville.
The annual Christmas dinner given
by Mr. and Mrs. Walker Jackson for
the members of the family conection
was an interesting event of Monday
The parlor and living-room had gar
lands of greenery depending in grace
ful festoons over the mantel and doors,
and Christmas bells gave an added
touch of color. In the dining-room the
table was lovely with a center-piece of
rich green spengeri, which formed an
oblong mound, fringed with ferns.
Covers were laid for twenty-five.
Lutherville, Ga., Dec. 29th.
Mrs. Mason’s colored washerwoman,
Martha, was complaining of her hus
band’s health.
“Why, is he sick, Martha?” asked
Mrs. Mason.
“He’s ve’y po’ly, ” answered the wo
man. “He’s got the exclamatory rheu
matism.”
“You mean inflammatory, Martha,”
said the matron. “Exclamatory means
to cry out.”
“Yas, ma’am,” replied Ms-ttha, with
conviction, “dat’s what it is. He hoi
lers all de time.”
“I’ve noticed, Jactf,” said the young
wife, “that when you go to light the
gas in the dark you always take two
matches. Why is that?”
“Well, my dear.” said Jack, “I die
covered long ago that if you carry one
match it will always go out, Put if you
carry two it never does.”

“If it hadn’t been for that Tanlac I
couldn't have gone to the Confederate
reunion at Memphis on the Nth of Octo
ber and marched afoot for nearly three
miles in the lug parade,” said Frank It.
Kendrick, who lives at 4,Stiff Charlotte
avenue, Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Kendrick
is one of Nashville's oldest and best-
known citizens.
As a member of Company 1, Second
Kentucky Cavalry, Basil Duke’s legi-
menl, Gen. John B. Gordon’s command,
Mr. Kendrick saw service throughout
the Civil War, and was wounded four
different times.
“During the winter,” said Mr. Ken
drick, “1 suffered intensely with rneu-
mutism, and when spring came 1 went
ull to pieces. 1 hud just about made up
my mind that my end was not very far
off. lL looked like 1 was on the verge
of a general physical decline, and I had
about despaired of ever walking again.
1 am 71) years of uge, have fought a
good fight and proven my record, and
was ready to go. But since I got hold
of Tanlac I have set my head to round
out ninety years, and from the way 1
feel now i tielieve 1 will do it. Before
1 began taking this medicine 1 was rap
idly losing what little strength and
llesh 1 bad, and was so weuk and debil
itated it wus all 1 could do to walk from
the bed to the chair, and even that re
quired great exertion. I had no appe
tite at all, couldn’t sleep to do any
good and was awfully nervous. My
flesh seemed too dry and 1 suffered a
great deal^with headache.
“1 doctored and doctored, but did not
show any sign of improvement. I at
tributed my failure to get relief to my
old age and declining physical powers.
But 1 made a bad guess, because after
taking Tanlac two weeks 1 felt better
and younger than I had felt in years. ^1
am now on my ninth bottle, and am ac
tually thirteen pounds heavier than
1 was before 1 began taking Tanlac.
My clothes were too large —now they
are too small, and 1 guess 1 will have
to buy clothes that will fit me comfort
ably. To make a long story short—the
medicine just seemed to fill me with
new life and energy, and put me right
on my feet. I have a fine appetite
now.
‘As 1 told you before, 1 can now walk
anywhere, and have thrown my cane
aside, because l don't need it any more,
except for bad eyesight. I spent four
days in Memphis at the reunion, and
just tramped all over town with the
boys. All around were men who gave
out during the parade, but at the end I
was right there, and didn’t feel the
least bit tired. I just, got back a few
days ago, and am awfully glad to tell
you what Tanlac haH done for mo. If I
tad the money I would buy every old
soldier a bottle of Tanlac, because I
believe it would add years to their
lives.”

McCrory-Armistead.
Interesting to many friends will be
the announcement of the marriage of
Miss Frankie McCrory and Mr. John
L. Armistead, of Rockingham, N. C.,
which took place yesterday afternoon
at 5 o’clock at the home of the bride’s
grandparents, Capt. and Mrs. J. J.
Goodrum, on Jackson street. It was a
quiet affair, being attended only by the
family connection and a few close
friends. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J. E. Hannah. The bride
wore a handsome and becoming tailored
suit of midnight blue broadcloth and a
small close-fitting turban of white vel
vet. Her flowers were a corsage bou
quet of orchids and valley lilies. Amid
the cordial good wishes of their friends
Mr. and Mrs. Armistead left shortly
after the ceremony for a wedding jour
ney to Florida. Mrs. Armistead iH the
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. C.
McCrory, and one of Newnan’s bright
est and most gifted girls. It is a
source of much regret that her mar
riage takes her away. Mr. Armistead
is a brother of Prof. E. A. Armistead,
and popular both in business and in
social circles at Rockingham, N. C.
Upon their return from Florida Mr.
and Mrs. Armistead will go to Rocking
ham to reside.
