WHEN WIVES WE'RE CHEAP
Man Sold His Watch to Raise 3Os
to Purchase One.

There is living in Horsham, at the
age of eighty-fye, remarkable old
man called Henry Burstow-by hard
necessity a shoemaker, by taste a
singer of songs and ringer Of
church bells. Even now he can sing
any one of four hundred songs that
he knows by heart. Mr.. Burstow oc-
casionally reinforces his memory
with stories told him by his father
and so can go back to 1920. when a
man sold his wife at the November
fair for IS, Cd. He himself can well
remember that in 1914 a lady known
as "Pin-toe Nanny" was brought into
the market place with a halter
around her neck and sold for 3Os to
man who parted with his watch
to raise the price. Nanny changed
hands again year afterward and
married one Jim Smith, with whom
she lived happily ever afterward -

Mr. Conner accepted the unexpir-
ed term and will not be a candidate

term.
The deciding influence in Mr.. Con-
nor's favor, giving him the lead in
one of the tightest contests for an
appointment waged in some time in
Georgia, is said to have been that of
John Brown of Barlow county, Gov
ernor Browns cousin and Mr.. Con-
nOr's fellow citizen. 1t was openly
stated that Mr. Brown had been act
i've in his endorsement of Mr.. Con-
nOr's candidacy before the governor,

100 YEARS OF CAMPMEETING
is RECORD FOR TAYLOR CREEK
IN LIBERTY COUNTY.
Was Begun in 1912, and Grown to Be
One of Biggest in South. NOtableS
to Be Present This Year.

One of Biggest in South. NOtables
to Be Present This Year.
Commencing Friday, October IS,
this year, the centennial camp meet
ing at Taylor's Greek, in Liberty
county, will be held, marking an ep-
och in Georgia camp meetings. The
meeting this year will be notable be-
cause of the fact that it will COM
memorate the Tooth consecutive
camp meeting held at the same point.
The Taylor's Greek meeting started
in 1912, and has grown to be one of
the biggest in the state.
BY one notable distinction this
place has attracted unusual atten-
ton. The grounds where the meet
ings are held have yet to see the
barter and sale of anything while the
meeting is in progress. Visitors to
the meeting always have lunches
served free if they do not go pre-
pared for the meals. Free sleeping
arrangements are made by the neigh
bors and everything possible is done
for the convenience of those attend
ing services. Quite a number Of
tents are used annually at the meet
ing.
This year it is planned to have a
bishop and a number of noted min
listers attend. The meetings are held
under the auspices Of the Methodists
of the Waycross district, of which
Rev Whitley Langston is the presid-
ing elder.

falsely when she testified in the trial
of Hyatt Slemp, convicted and SEN

to go to the penitentiary and serve
Slemp's sentence in his stead. 1t is
stated that the confession will be
used in an attempt to have Governor

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not Be Disregarded.

Not Be DiSregarded.
Appetite is just natural desire
for food. Loss of appetite or stom-
ach distress after eating indicate in
digestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating
is habit very dangerous to a per-
sons good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered stOm-
ach, and many people daily contract
serious maladies simply through dis
regard or abuse of the stomach
We urge all in Dawson who suf-
fer from any stomach arrangement,
indigestion or dyspepsia, whether
acute or chronic, to try ReXall Dys-
pepsia Tablets with the distinct un-
derstanding that we will refund their
money without question or Formally
if after reasonable use of this medi-
cine they are not perfectly satisfied
with the results. We recommend
them to our customers every day,
and have yet to hear of any one who
has not been benefited by them. We
honestly believe them to be without
equal. They give very prompt re-
lief, aiding to neutralize the gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive or
gans, to regulate the bowels and thus
to promote perfect nutrition and
eradicate all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 20 cent box
of ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. At the
end of that time your money will be
returned to you if you are not salts
fed. Of course in chronic cases the
length of treatment varies. For such
cases we have two larger sizes which
sell for so cents and 81. Remember
you can obtain ReXall Remedies in
this community only at our store

-FOUR BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE.
Dead People Being Restored to Life
BY Use of "PuImOtOr''


BY Use of 'PuImOtOr''
Four more dead" people have
been brought to life in Chicago by
use of the 'pulmotor," an apparatus
which pumps air or oxygen, or a
mixture of both, into the lungs and
at the same time induces artificial
respiration. All of these dead" had
been asphyxiated by Illuminating
gas. In one instance resuscitation
required one hour and in another
case six hours. The point, however,
is that the machine seems to be a
success.
