PROMINENT PLANTER
OF CORINTH TALKS
I'm Buying S More Bottles To-
day; That Shows What l Think
of Tanlac," Says J. H. Weldon
Meridian Alone sells 1855 Bot
ties.

A statement that will %undoubted
ly be of unusual interest to every.
body in Miss, was made a few
days ago at the McAmis drug
store in Corinth by j. H. Weldon
who lives on the R. F. d. from this
city and is one of the most sue.
cessful and progressive planters in
this part of the country. Mr.,
Weldon is a man of wide influence
and acquaintance, and his evil
Once on any subject is considered
of such a high order as to be be-
yond question.
In telling of his remarkable re-
%storation to health through the use
of Tanlac, MI. Weldon says:
Il have taken hree bottles of this
medicine and it has done me SO
much good l am buying five more
today. That shows just what /
think of it as a medicine.

recommended, and | made up nv
mind tina it was worth a trial.

bottle the swelling left me and the
fermentation stopped. l soon got

without its bothreing me in the
least. | feel a great deal better
every way, and am sure | have got
ten wonderful benefit from the
use of this remarkable medicine"
When this case was reported TO
G. F. Willis, Southern Distribu-
of Tanlac, at his Atlanta office.
he said:
Statements from men like Mr..
leave nothing else to be done in
that section to establish the merit
OF this great medicine; because the
pest evidence of a medicines pow
is what those who have actually
taken 1t have to say about it. This
is especially true and beyond all
question when these statements
are made by people of prominence
ana nigh character and published
nj the communities where
each and every fact can be investi-
gated and verified.
Such Endorsements and such
satisfactory ruests explain why the
people of Corinth and that entire
section are purchasing Tanlac until
sales are now breaking all re-
cords. In Meridian, Miss, alone
one firm has actually sold nearly
o,0Oo bottles-4,356, to be abso.

GARNER is

The new commissioner of agriculture is a very capable
man and we believe he will make good. He undoubtedly has
the scientific training and that practical knowledge of affairs
SO necessary in any undertaking. We have noted in several
different press items that 'he is in no sense a politician or
something to that effect, and while we would not embarass the
new secretary, yet we would not withhold from him tribute
1or any talent he possesses and we would unhesitatinglv
AWARD MN the palm for being one of the cleverest artists as
a polItlclan In the state. This is not to his discredit, but those

Matters begin tos take shape for the summer months. Def

there is a shadow of doubt at times, but the general situation

The Rt. Rev. George William Peler-
kin, Bishop of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church Of the West Virginia Do
cese. expired peacefully at his home
at 1908 Ann street, this afternoon,
al few minutes before two O'Clock.
The death of the beloved man came
after an illness extending over pc
riod OF many months For the past
year his condition had been such thar
he was unable TO leave his room, and
was confined to his chair,
For the past three or four weeks bis
health had been declining rapidly,
and the end was in sight, and was
expected almost at any time.
For the first time this morning he
apparently failed 10 recognize mem
bers of the family, and in that condi-
ton he continued. till the time of his
death at abolH>-ten minutes Of two
O'Clock.
The end came peacefully and with.
out suffering. The Bishop was re.
clining in his chair. to which he had
been constantly confined for months,
when the death summons finally
came to him. Dr. J. ]. Golf, who ad-
ministered TO his needs. was sum
moned short time before the death,
and he and Dr. Roy G.. Werner, and
the nurse, Miss Nellie Collins, and
the members Of the family were in
the room when the summons of death
came to the reverend churchman.

While the death of Bishop i'eter-
kin has been expected and TO those
who were in close touch with his con-
dition, il WAS known that his death
was very near at hand, il has cast a
pail over the community, and all will
unite in mourning the death OF the
Churchman who had gained renown
wherever the name Of the church is
spoken.
of age and had he lived till March
II. 1917, he would have reached his
10th milestone.
His death was due 10 chronic
Brights disease and oehcr ailments,
which he withstood with remarkable
fortitude. -
Probably the last official act OF the
dead Bishop was the acceptance Of
thr raising of the permanent endow-
ment of the church from $4,000 10
100000. Bishop Peterkin formerly
met the expenses Of the church from
his own means, and when the Coun-
Gil of the diocese met here last year.
il was suggested that it would be a
fitting thing TO do to raise the perma-
nent endowment to 100000. TO meet
the need and demands of the diocese,
4 committee was named which set 10
work TO raise the endowment 10 $780,.
