gerous calomel and agree to hand back
the money with a smile to any person

vegetable liquid with a pleasant taste,
and is a prompt and reliable remedy for

Fenn’s Wife Really
Thought Him Dead
That the wife of Augustus J. Fenn,
who was supposed to have been
drowned two years ago but has been
found in New Orleans, believed Fenn
to be dead when she entered suit for his
life insurance was the assertion of
President Wilmer L. Moore, of the
Southern States Life Insurance Com
pany. today Fenn was insured in the
Southern States for $5,000.
"We believe that neither Mrs Fenn
nor her sons-in-law knew anything
about Fenn's disappearance, nor did
they know he was still alive," said
President Moore. "Rut we do believe
that Fenn knew his wife would get
$15,000 in life insurance, though he
could never have obtained a"hy of it
for himself."
Fenn will not be brought back to
Georgia ..s his Identity has been con
clusively proved by his son-in-law and
as hi.« wife refuses to bring the charge
of wife desertion against him in order
to have him brought back, if he is not
brought back, no effort will be made by
the insurance company to prosecute,
and he will go unpunished.
