Not compass thee at all.

The Truth that makoth free
Give us great hearts 10 love

Selmer is in need of that which
gives first impression to a
stranger. That is a modern
hotel building, with the modern
improvements and conveniences
which the travelling public de-
mand. The only two public ho-
tells here were built early in the
history of Selmer, and both are
cheap and lily arranged plans.
The only plan we hear indicated
is for a few of the leading men
Of the town to organize a joint
stock company and put up "a
building that vii! not only please
the transient custom but regular
boarders. We believe it's rental
would make the investment a
safe and paying proposition. No
hotel keeper, however efficient OF
popular, can run the business
satisfactorily to himself or his
customers in an ANTICIPATED and
unattractive building. For years
this question has been mooted;
as time goes by the necessity be-
comes more apparent. Selmer
cannot afford to be behind all
other towns of a similar size,
even if the demands were not so
outspoken. There is not vacant
house in Selmer, and boarding
houses are needed even in addi-
tom to a good brick hotel with
heat, light, water, and all other
modern demands of people who
want to live in a hotel the equal
at least OF their homes.

Successful Lamb and Wool Club

The Martha Lamb and Wool Club
of Wilson County. Tenn, sold its wool
this year for Sc. 10 per hundred. An
other club in the county got $6405,
Our club has been running since
1911. We have about sixty farmers
in it. We sell from 1000 to 1000
lambs each season. We reorganiza
each season and set the date of sales,
We elect our president. secretary and
our weighman and an advertising
committee composed of FIVE farmers,
also our committee of pickers, COM
posed of five farmers, whose duty it
is to grade the wool and lambs. The
farmer who sells drives the lambs on
the scales, the committee of pickers
take off the culls, and the weigher
weighs the first grade, and the secre-
tary gives the farmer credit for so
much weight and so many lambs in
first grade, and the same in second
and third grade. if he has any. The
secretary orders enough cars on track
to handle each delivery. and the diff
ferent grades are kept separate. but
the buyers are always there and see
the whole thing. At about Ills they
are invited to look through and make
their bids and hand them in to the
secretary by 100, sealed, and the ad-
vertising committee looks over the
bids and decides who gets the lambs
or woods.
We grade the old sheep that are
brought in the same way. If the
buyers we're not on hand the club
would ship to some good market. but
they are always there and make good
bids. Our farmers don't have to give
the sale Of their wool and lambs any
thought. All a member wants to
know is the day of delivery. He de-
livers his wool or lambs and goes
home. The secretary gives the sue
cessful bidder the weights and num-
Der of each grade. The bidder gives
the secretary check, then the Sec
Rotary takes a certain per cent Of
each dollar to cover the expenses and
mails the farmers their checks.
| This plan has resulted in a saving
of from $500 to $500 each year to
our neighborhood, to say nothing Of
the time consumed each season by
the farmers trying to engage their
wool and lambs at high price. We
have about nine clubs in this county,
all being successfully operated. One
per cent covers all expense for sale
of wool and 5 cents per head covers
all expenses for sale of lambs each
delivery.

JUSTICE OF PEACE
GAINS 20 POUNDS
Father Can Now Do as Good a
Days Work as | Can." Says
Grateful Son. Couldn't Eat
Meat for II Years.

C. w. Arnold, familiarly known as
"Bill' Arnold by his hundreds Of
friends and fellow-workers, came into
Jacobs Marietta Street Pharmacy
Atlanta, recently, to buy bottle Of
Tanlac, and while there made a state.
ment that is probably the most re.
markable ever given a proprietary
medicine.
Speaking of his father, Esquire s
P. Arnold, who lives on R. F. No. /
Lost Mountain. Ca, and who is q
justice Of the peace, and one of the
best known men of that section, the
son said:
my father is eighty years old. and
if everybody could see what this Tan.
lac has done for him, US railroad men
would have a hard time hauling
enough of it over this country to sup
ply the people! It's an actual fact
that ne hadn't been able to eat meat
or any kind Of greasy food for ten OF
twelve years until he took Tanlac,
and now he can eat any thing and has
gained 20 pounds.
HE was weak and all rundown
from this stomach trouble that had
been with him for a good many years,
and it just seemed like he couldn't
eat anything that would agree with
him. and give him any strength and he
had to be mighty careful all the time
about his eating. He would have to
spit up undigested food, and his stom-
ach just seemed like it had gone back
on him for good and all.
A few days ago he came to see
me and was surprised to see how
strong and well he looked, and
asked him what on earth he bad been
doing for himself. He said he had
taken five bottles of Tanlac. 1t was
such pleasure to see him sit up at
the table and enjoy his meals that
simply couldn't help coming right up
here and telling you what this medi-
cine had done.
He weighs more than he has in
fifty years just think of that! And
| honestly believe he can do as good a
days work as | can. He says his
stomach trouble has left him entirely,
and that he feels better than he has
in good many years. He says he's
as sound as dollar and expects to
stay that way as long as there's any
Tanlac to be gotten in this part of
the country.
my brothers wife has been taking
ranlac, too, and it has helped her
right much. She says she feels a
hundred per cent better and is eating
right along.
Il an really glad to give you this
statement, for it gives me so much
pleasure to see father come to the
table and eat his share Of everything
that comes on that | feel like telling
everybody about it. 1t is in my
opinion the greatest medicine ever
discovered. and everybody ought to
talk it up
Tanlac is sold in Selmer by Browder
Bros. and by one established agency

War Increases
Phone Business
Over County

Information given out at the Far
go office of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. this afternoon was to the
effect that since the very beginning
of the war, the government re-
quests for telephone equipment nave
had precedence over private re-
ouirements and government calls have
had the right-of-way over all private
messages. -.
At an expense-in the aggregate
hundreds of thousands OF dollars
comprehensive telephone systems
have been provided for training
camps, and lines of communication
have been installed between military
headquarters, mobilization posts and
commissary depots. Telephones ana
special lines have also been supplied
for the troops at bridges, grain de-
pots and other places being guard
ed.
In addition to the governments
use of service, increased business
activity incident to the war has plac-
ed further demands upon telephone
facilities. Thirty per cent more long
distance calls being handled than be-
fore the war and the number of local
calls, particularly in the larger Cities
has greatly increased.
