TO the Editor Etlgefeld -4acerti-
ser I:
Having been away from the
hills AID rocks of old Edgefeld
for sorle time, and having heard
but little from the old home will
Den these few lines hoping it may
be of some interest to some of
your many readers.
We eft Edgefeld on the 18th of
December last and arrived at Sco!-
land Ga, on the same day having
travelled a distance of 2S5 miles,
all by rail, some Of which was
through as poor land as our eyes
ever fsasted on and some very
fine. We don't intend giving a
synopsis of our trip as it was d
dash through with no time to see
Or learn anything on the road.
At Scotland we found Mr.. Josh
Harris and Mr.. Jack Burnett both
of you- county and both as you
all know are mada up of hospital
itv, soeiality, and general good
they delight in talking of Edge
field and the people thereof.
After spending most pleasant
Christmas with the good people of
Scotland, Mr.. Harris and 1 began
to ramble over South Georgia in
search of location, which we
found in Montgomery county in
the forks of two railroads near the
line of Telfair county. And here
are as fine farming lands as can be
found, and as regards health there
never lived a more healthy people
than we have right here. The wa
ter is rs pure and cold as that of
EdgeGeld; in short if there be
any who are tired of South Carroll
ma and contemplate a long move
we don't think they can find bet
ter place than South Georgia.

Painful diseases are bad enough but
when man - slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
fcrebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let
up to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such strain men are scarcely respon-
sible for what they do For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better
take a dose of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspir-
alton came to his aid in the shape of a
combination Of medicines that not only
completely restored his general health,
but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts
to natural size and vigor and he now
declares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
may have the prescription Of this won

free I mean absolutely without cost,

am not a philanthropist nor do /
pose as an enthusiast, but there are
thousands of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such remedy as the one that cured
me. Send me your name and address
today Do not try to study out how I
can afford to pay the few postage
stamps necessary to mail the prescrip-
ton, but send for the remedy and learn
that there are a few things on earth
that although they cost nothing to get,
they are worth fortune to some men
and mean a life time Of happiness to
most of us. Write to Thomas Slater.

In response to this request, President
