Music has always been delight to
me; real, harmonious music, coming
from the soul, and Of course, going
to the soul-not the wretched jingle
Of coon song, ragtime and fox-trots
which have engulfed the song market
of recent years. In my childhood we
had few songs, but those few were
simple and sweet; we knew and loved
them all. Father used to sing to US
about ben Bolt, and Johnnie Fill
up the Bowl, and q number of war
tunes we're his favorites. Mother
liked Wesley's song Of Our life as

Uncle Ned and a funny song about
the man who MIXED vicious COW,
who was always kicking the mixer,

COOPER TO PROVE
FAMOUS THEORIES
Celebrated Medicine Accomplish
ing Remarkable Results, in
Leading Cities.

Referring to the recent visit to At
lanta of L. T. Cooper, the man who
electrified the larger cities of the
country with his philanthropy, health
theories and celebrated medicine, Tan
lac, G. F. Willis, his southern repre-
sentative, said:
Thousands of the most prominent
people in Atlanta, Birmingham, Nash
vile, Chattanooga. Louisville, Knox.

ing such remarkable results, are even
more enthusiastic over Tanlac than
Mr.. Cooper himself.
AS previously stated, Mr.. Cooper
contends that nine-tenths of the dis
eases and ill-health of the average per-
son is due to a catarrhal condition
which produces faulty digestion and
improper assimilation of the food.
in recent interview Mr.. Cooper
was asked if Tanlac would relieve kid
ney trouble, liver complaint, rheuma-
tism and dozen other ailments, and
in this connection said
AS have repeatedly said, my
medicine acts directly on the mucus
membrane, stomach and blood, expell-
ing from them the impurities and
rendering to them strong, healthy
condition. | am convinced that the
stomach regulates the condition of
the blood, and is the fountain head
of health or disease, as the case may
be. My medicine is intended prima-
rily for the regulation of the stomach
and catarrhal inflammation, but il is
no uncommon thing for persons who
have used it to come to me and ex-
plain that it has relieved them of
Rheumatism and many otner ailments
not generally recognized as having
their origin in stomach trouble.
The ingredients or medical ele-
ments which make Tanlac come from
many remote sections Of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia,
West Indies, MountainStates, near the
Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru
are among the points from which the
principal parts Of the preparation are
obtained. In the principal laboratory
Of the Cooper Medicine Co., Inc, un-
der the efficient direction Of Herr Jos
Won Trimhach, a native German
& l. u
chemist of note, these medicinal
herbs, roots and barks are assembled
in the rough and painstakingly de-
veloped so as to attain that high
standard of efficiency shown by the
uniform preparation Of Tanlac.'
In referring to the unprecedented
demand for Tanlac in Atlanta, Mr..
Chas. A. Smith, Manager Of the
Jacobs Pharmacy Co., said:
Il have been in the drug business
in Atlanta rs years, and not in my ex-
perieoce have we handled anything
thai even approaches Tanlac as SELL
er. In less than FIVE weeks time we
have sold and distributed through
our eleven stores over 5000 bottles.
and on last Saturday alone over 400
people called at our stores to obtain
the medicine. Judging from the re-
peat sales and the many expressions
of satisfaction from those who have
actually tested Tanlac, the prepara-
tion must be something of extraordi-
nary merit
Tanlac is sold in Selmer exclusively
by Browder Bros; in Adamsville by
Abernathy's Pharmacy; in Bethel
Springs by T. S. Davis; in Ramer by
A. B. Hamm & Co.; in Chewalla by
G. W. Parsons. adv

luAuES uttd ! uu U0ttNS
One of the most noted conven-
tions in the history of the repub-
lican party last Saturday ended
in the selection of Justice Charles
E. Hughes of New York for pres
ident and Charles w. Fairbanks
of Indiana for yice-president.
The third ballot was needed to
select Hughes. but only one was
taken in the almost unanimous
vote for vice-president.
The progressive party, what
ever that may mean also at
about the same minute, selected
7. Roosevelt and a man named
Parker of Louisiana for it's cand-
didates.
This is the first time in the
history of either party since NOM
nations have been made by del
egated conventions, where a man
was selected who was not a can
didate and really and truly did
not want the nomination. Not
less than a dozen candidates had
been before the people through
bureaus and workers, but Hughes
had none, and it was claimed
would not accept if nominated.
In the face of all these facts, the
great silent heart Of the repnbli-
can party said he was the man
for .the hour. Their delegates
could not be stampeded by the
galleries filled with hooters for
every man but Hughes. 1t is the
first instance since the days of
the noted Cincinnatus. who was
called from the plow and re-
sponded. Mr.. Hughes responded
to the call as a duty to his coun-
try, rather than an honor to him
self.
In an hour he had sent his
resignation to Pres. Wilson and
his note of acceptance to the con-
vention. The act of first she'd
ding the judicial ermine before
he dipped his pen in his letter of
acceptance, shows the man of
action, propriety and patriotism.
The able men of the nation have
in all time past, regardless of
party, proclaimed Hughes a
strong, able, and Conscientious
statesman. He wears no man s
collar, but as governor of New
York selected the best man for
every appointment. He is strict
ly a candidate selected by the
people and and against against the the united
efforts Of the big men who ma
nipulate conventions.
Roosevelt wisely and patriot
ically declined the nomination of
the progressives, which leaves
that party like any animal with
its head cut off. A few dying
kicks and all is over. A few
will vote for Wilson but nine out
of every ten win 60 back to the
fold. Really. most of the party
were at Chicago anyhow.
With a practically united party
under the leadership Of men like
Hughes and Fairbanks, Mr.. VIII
son or any other democrat has,
in street parlance. aman's job on
his hands.
