If is always good policy to talk about what you know is good, Publicity is always good when a good purpose is to be served- You can put it another way, it pays to advertise. A case in point of interest to the people of Houston county, be cause this county is part of the territory now proposed to be vertised. ■ J Impressed with the idea produces nothing publicity is indispensible to promotion of any business, Secretary of the Dublin, Chamber of Commerce, and other citizens of that city decided to or* ganize the Twelfth District De velopment Association, with head quarters at Dublin. The permanent organization of this association was perfected Tuesday, September 20th. The Twelfth Congressional District of Georgia is composed of fourteen counties and Houston is one of these counties. Hon. W. W.

The main general purpose is to promote development of the material interests of the -several counties of the district and the district as whole Such promotion of development of resources has been used ia prac tically all the states of the United States and in all the progressive counties of the states. In no case has there been failure where the methods of advertising were attractive,, and the subjects worthy. From the smallest to the great est article of commerce, product of farm and factory, fortune has been gained through persistent adver tising. There are notable instances in nearly all the states and the fact has been demonstrated that publicity is a tremendous force in promoting development and gain ing wealth for the promoter and lasting popularity for the article advertised. There are no limitations to such promotion, other than that no claim should be made that cannot be sustained. Stick to the truth, tell in attrac tive style and development will surely follow. They don’t say it, and will not think it audibly, but the U. S. Ad ministration is moving tbward the League of Nations, under another name.

R. R. about fourteen years ago and had been conductor for twelve years. His work was highly appre ciated by officials of the road. This was shown by the feeling way in which the Superintendent spoke of him. He said, Mr. Prescott was “one of the very best men in my employ. A man who in his en deavor to give satisfaction, always attended strictly to business.” Mr Prescott was 37 years of age and unmarried. Of the immediate family he is survived by three sisters; Mrs J. T. Adkins of Ameri- cus, Miss Mary Prescott and Mrs J. T. Langston of Kathleen. He also leaves two aunts, sisters of his fart her, and other relatives to mourn his premature death.

SHAW, Springfield, Mass. “To say that I feel twenty-five, years younger, twenty-five years healthier and twenty-five years stronger express what Tanlac has done for note hotter than any other j way I can put it,” said George D. | Shaw, veteran of the Civil War, who now lives at 321 Walnut* street, Springfield, Mass. T am now seventy-eight years old and I don’t hesitate to say I have never known a medicine to equal Tanlac. For fifteen years I was subject to attacks of indigos- iion that were so bad at times I would have to lay up for a week or two. For a long time I lived on crackers and milk alone as nothing else agreed with me. “When I started on Tanlac I weighed only one hundred and seventeen pounds and my days were thought to be numbered.! I’ve been so wonderfully built up, I now weigh one hundred and forty three poundsand my stomach is as sound as a dollar, In fact, I believe 1 could eat the old army rations again without it hurting me in the least. “I never urns a chano of saying a good word for Tanlac and I wil’d like to i rge the boys of the “Sixties” who are not feeling right to give it a trial, for I am sure it would put them in Tine again just as it has me. For a man of my age to have no physical ailment, to be well and strong and enjoy life as he did twenty-five years ago, is certainly something to be thank ful for and there is nothing too good 1 can say for Tanlac.” “Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.’’ Advertisment.
