To read the letter put out by Elmer
foglc before election, one would be-
licvc that it would be impossible for u
newspaper to exist if deprived of Ell
mcr's vast amount Of printing
patronage. 1t might be interesting
to determine at the court house just
how much patronage the clerk of
court controls in the space of
two years

AS usual, after election it has de-
veloped that the leaders of the old
gang in this county are claiming to
have supported some winners whose
opponents they were supposed to be
assisting before election. 1t isn't sur
prising that they are in position to
claim to have supported many Of the
winners. Their chief stock in trade
seems to be the ability to support
most every and any candidate run
ming, even though three or four of
them are for the same Office In this
election, though, it seems they were
supporting one or two too many for a
couple of Offices. That system Of sup
porting them all sometimes has it's
drawbacks even.

When you hear Il man cxcusing the
conduct of the present states attor-
ney in blind-pg matters on the
ground that he was saving the coun"
y expense" just ask how much he
saved the county by his trip to Mich
iean along with the sheriff to bring
back the diminutive horse thief that
proved to be no horse thief at all. AL
so, what bearing does n record for
gross incompetence have on the case,
anyway.
AS several jnrymen at the last Feb
ruary term Of court expressed it,
ley felt ashamed to sit there and

During the last couple Of weeks the
various farmers elevators in the
county have been Cutting their mel
ons." So far as we have learned, cv-
cry elevator but one has made n nice
profit Over at Braddock it is said
the gross profits amounted to some
sixteen thousand dollars Tcmvik
did nearly as WELL and HaZelton was
not far behind The Linton elevator
vas not so well organized, perhaps,
bat they also returned IL nice profit to
the owners.
OF all Of them, the farmers cleva-
tor at Temvik has shown wonderful
results. In that small town there are
three grnin-buycrs. However, con
ditions were fine for grain-buying
this year and Chris Bicbcr, who man
aged the elevator for the farmers, is
"u old timer at the business. Such Il
combination assured but one result--n
nice profit.
Running business on the cooper
alive plan depends for success upon
the kind Of manager it has. 1t makes
little difference who actually owns tho
property. The man in active charge
Is the important cog in the machine.
Running an elevator is like running
anything else: 1t will be run in the
pround if each and every stock holder
attempts to run it according to his
own fashion.
The Record has always been one of
the first to take stock in any cooper
alive proposition which was deemed
ii benefit to any community in the
county The farmers telephone line
al Tcmvik is an example. The orig
nal stock has returned nothing what
ever and an additional assessment has
been paid 1t was Il virtual donation.
Stock in the farmers telephone line III
the south end of the county proved y
better investment. There has been 10
per cent dividend each year. While
the writer does his farming on 4 pref
ty small scale, yet he also has some
money invested in the local farmers,
elevator.
Taken all in all, it is rather non
sensical to hear an occasional curb
stone orator crate on the theme that
the Record man is "agninst the far
mar" lust because there may happen
to be divergence of opinion on the
way in which certain public question.
should be handled.
There is n pretty respectable siZct
number of farmers i'll this county wht
believe the Record is much bet
ter friend of tho farmer!

TENNESSEE SCHOOL TEACHER
SAYS He HAS FOUND TANLAC
TO BE THE BEST MEDICINE HE
HAS EVER TRIED.

Of the thousands of letters that
have recently been received at the ran
lac office from well-known men and
women, who have been benefited by
this medicine, none are more inter
esting than the one received CHS
week from S. R. Luton at Bumpus
Mills, Tenn. This letter, which was
addressed to G. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ga,
reads as follows:
Dear Sir: You will find inclosed
testimonial from Professor Elmer
Morris, who is one Of my customers.
Professor Morris had delicacy in eX-
messing himself and granted me the
right to give you the particulars in
his case.
He tells me that he has been a great
sufferer from chronic stomach ana
bowel trouble, and never had been
able to get anything to give him any
relief. He fell off in weight from 225
pounds to ITO pounds. He went to
Dawson Springs, Ky, and when he
came back he said he was no better
I persuaded him to try Tanlac. He
weighed on my scales at the time he
began taking it and only weighed ITO
pounds. After taking three bottles
of Tanlac he had gained 20 pounds.
When he brought this testimonial to
me he had gained pounds more and
weighed 1914. He did nor want to get
back to 225 pounds and decided to
quit taking Tanlac
This man is a teacher in the pub
lie schools in Stewart county, Tenn
He lives here in one mic of my store
and bought the Tanlac from me. HIS
true postofice is Dover, HEM, h. f.
D. No. /. Professor Morris's state
ment is as follows:
81 have finished my third bottle Of
Tanlac and have gained 20 pounds,
I lust weighed ITO pounds and now !
weigh 1870, and never felt better in
my life.
81 have been a great sufferer from
stomach trouble for about one year l
tried every doctor I could get to and
went to a health resort at Dawson
Springs, but nothing did me any
good I decided to take Tanlac and
found it to be the best medicine |
ever tried Yours very truly,

THE uNKNoWlNG.
Some people look up this life
AS full of troubles, terrors, strife;
And never know that beauty lies
In everything beneath the skies.
They pass through verdant fields of
green,
Yet never know there can be seen,
In days to come, the golden grain,
The fruit of sunshine, culture, rain.
They cross the highest mountain
chain,
Where snow is master of the rain;
Yet fail to hear the snowbird's song;
They're out of tune-their hearts are
wrong.
They sail that wide, eXpanseless sea,
That borders on Eternity.
Their thoughts are turned away from
earth;
They never learn the sterling worth
Of mortal things in mortal strife
Of love and laughter-joys of life;
They never know that beauty lies
In everything beneath the skies.
