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.” THIS OLD SOLDIER, WOUNDED 4 TIMES, IS STILL IN LINE. Goes to Memphis Reunion and Marches Throe Milos in Big Pa rade-Gains 13 Pounds. “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.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Newnan by Odom Drug Co.
