THOMAS EDWARD HEADRIcK

Seymour, Tenn. March 16 1915
Thomas Edward Headrick, a success
full farmer and stock raiser, died
January 8, 1916. He had been in bad
health fora number of years.He made
two trips to New Mexico seeking to
gain lost health.
He was married to Miss Margaret
Lutitia McMurry, Sept, II, 1897.
To this union were born seven chill
dren. Three, Ira, Belle and little
"Marie" live to help and cheer his
bereaved widow. His aged father, j.
H. Headrick, passed to the silent ma
jority Feb. 10, 1916.
Four brothers, John D., Of Wal
land, Vince, Robert and Charley of
the far west, survive. He had four
sisters, Annie E. Davis and Hettie j.
Norton, of Seymour, Della Waters of
California and Lula Headrick of
Knoxville. Besides the above he has a
step-mother and two younger sisters,
Lizzie and Jennie.
He was fond of music, vocal and
instrumental. Often he would have
the young people gather at his home,
play the piano and sing songs of
praise to his Redeemer. He was con-
verified early in life and joined the M.
E. Church. Later in life he Joined the
Baptist Church at Prospect and be-
came a useful member thereof. But
he preferred the cross, the Christ life,
to the tinsel and glamour of the cere.
monial. He preferred the preached
gospel to the ritual Of the mystic orr
der.
Rev. Willie Hodges, his pastor, and
Rev. E. W. Hall, pastor of Eusebia,
conducted the funeral services. He
was inferred in the family plot in
Eusebia Cemetery.
The large concourse of people in
attendance at the funeral service and
the beautiful floral designs attested
the high esteem in which he was held.
In the death of Brother Headrick the
community has lost one of its most
prominent and highly respected citi-
zens; the church faithful, devout
member, and the family a kind con-
siderate and loving husband and
father.

PRINTED STATIONERY PAYS

You are judged by the stationery
you use. Printed stationery is one
of the requisites for a successful mail
order business in livestock, poultry,
plants, etc. Picture to yourself a
man who has answered your adver-
tisement and your competitors ad-
vertisement, holding in one hand your
letter written on a sheet from five
cent tablet, and in the other hand the
letter of the other man written on
neatly printed stationery-will you or
your competitor have the best chance
of getting his order?
1t pays to name your farm, and
have the name and an illustration of
the kind of cattle and poultry you
specialize in printed on your station
cry, There are numerous firms that
make speciality of letter heads for
farmers and their prices are very
reasonable. These firms will send you
specimen letter-paper so that you
may get ideas for your own and quote
you prices. You can buy printed let
teyheads and envelopes in small
quantities but it pays to buy two or
three years supply at once. Your
local newspaper also will supply you
very reasonably.-The Progressive
Farmer. $50
Let The Times print your station
cry. We have printed Letterheads
and Envelopes for several of the
leading farmers.

ENGINEERS WIFE
GAINS25POUNDS
C. G.Geiger Says His Wife
Suffered With Rheumatism
for years-Tanlac Entire
Iy Overcomes Trouble.

"Tanlac has not only reliev-
ed my wife of a very severe at
tack of rheumatism but she has
actually gained twenty-five (25
pounds since she began taking
the medicine" said Mr.. G. G.
Geiger, residing at 1873 East Lin
den ST., Atlanta Ga, for a num-
Der of years employed as engi-
neer by the Georgia railroad.
81 don't believe l ever saw
anyone suffer with rheumatism
as much as she did" continued
Mr.. Geiger in his statement to
the Tanlac representative.
Sometimes her feet would
swell so she couldn't get her
shoes on. The pains in her arms
was so great at times she would
remark that they felt like they
were about to drop off. She
had severe headaches, and was
dizzy and nervous all the time
and unable to sleep we'll at
night. Her appetite failed her
and she lost a great deal in
weight and strength. She some
times got so bad off she would
have to go to bed and stay for
weeks at a time. When she was
not in bed she felt so tired and
played-out she was never able
to look after her house work.
"She tried all kinds Of medi-
cine, but nothing seemed to do
her much good, and when l be-
gan to hear so much talk about
Tanlac just made up my mind
to lay all the other medicines
aside and put her on Tanlac.
"She has now finished her
fourth bottle and she is like a
different woman. The rheuma-
tism has been entirely relieved;
she doesn't have the headache
any more; is no longer nervous
like she used to be, and she
sleeps like a baby. She has a
splendid appetite and has been
gaining strength and weight
right along, and as | have al
ready told you she has gained
twenty-five pounds. She is full
of life and energy now, and is
looking after the homework
like she hadn't ever been sick.
II tell you, it's just wonder
full the way this medicine has
helped her, for she was almost
a nervous wreck when she star
ted taking it. I'll never be able
to tell you how thankful | am
for what it has done for her,
and I'm recommending it to all
my friends. Many of them have
already begun taking it on my
recommendation"

OFFICER SMITHERMAN THANKS
THE PEOPLE OF ANERICUs
Dear Friends !:

Dear Friends:
1t is with genuine regret that l bid
good bye to you and your beautiful
little city. l can truthfully say that
my stay in Americas has been one of
the most pleasant visits | have ever
made. This is mainly due to the fact
that every one has tried to make it
pleasant for me. Especially is thus
true of Mr.. D. f. Davenport, P M,
and his staff. More courteous and
obliging gentlemen than these do not
exist. 1t is a pleasure and an honor
to have known them. Again is this
true of the editor and staff of The
Times Recorder. These gentlemen
have spared no effort to make the navy
recruiting station at this place a sue
cess.
Hospitality is natural gift OF Amer
icus' people; there is nothing forced
about it and that is the kind of hospi-
tality that goes straight to the heart of
all people who visit this charming lit
tie city. That is why every visitor
goes away wishing that his stay might
have been prolonged, and with his
mind made UP that should he ever get
the opportunity he is coming back
again. From the bottom of my heart,
thank you all, my friends. May
health, wealth and prosperity be yours
forever. Goodbye.

] cceived the o. k. of the executive COM
mittee of the booster organization and
will be put into active practice Just
as soon as possible.
In each county there will be an
advisory board of not less than %
members, and in the larger counties
these boards will exceed 100 mem
bers.
The State Chamber of Commerce in
this way hopes to arouse more inter
est in its work throughout the entire
state. Good men in each community
will be selected to serve on these
boards and they will act at all times
in CONJUNCTION with headquarters in
Atlanta, cooperating in every way
possible to the end that greater and
more efficient service may be render

in advertising her wonderful and va
ried resources.

FOOD STUFFs ADVANCED
ONE PER CENT IN MONTH

According to reports recently made
public by the Department of Labor
prices of staple foods increased dur
ing the month from February Is to
March Is, 1916, approximately l per
cent. Meats and sugar showed the
greatest advance. Eggs, milk, flour
and potatoes were cheaper. During the
ear from March, 1915, to March, 1916
prices advanced more than per cent
ard the prices for March Is, 1916, av-
eraged per cent. higher than for the
entire year of 1915. Eighteen foods in
creased in price during the year; five
did not change, and three were lower.
A table covering prices for the past
Is years shows that the purchasing
power of dollar has decreased stead
lily in all foods. In 1890, a dollar
bought 81 pounds of round steak; to-
day it will purchase AS pounds; pork
