C. C. Geiger Says His Wife Suffered With Rheuma- tism for Years-Tan-

 comes 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 MT. c. G. Geiger, residing at 133 E. Linden street, Atlanta, Ga, for a number of years employed as engineer by the Georgia rail road.
 'ITdon't believe 1 ever saw anyone suffer with rheumatism as much as she did" continued MT. Geiger in his statement to the Taplac representative, Something's her feet would swell so she couldn't get her shoes on. The pains in her arms were so\ great at times she would remark that they felt like they were about to drop'off She had severe head aches, and was dizzy and nerv- ous all the time and unable to sleep we'll at night. Her ap- petite failed her and she lost a great deal in weight and strength. She sometimes got so bad off she would have to go to bed and stay for weeks at a time. When she wasn't in bed she felt so tired and played out she was never able to look after her housework.

Shiloh Notes

Cotton is doing well at pres
 ent but corn is needing rain very badly.
 Health is very good at this writing except Luther James and Albert Green, both of whom have slow fever but are reported better at this writing,
 We miss them in our singing class and young MT. Green is missed by his classmates of Class No. 2. We hope to see them up and at their posts soon.
 Some of the Shiloh singing class visited the White church class, on Cypress Ridge, on Sat- urday night last and enjoyed the singing and the courteous treatment which they received from that class. They have a fine class and some excellent people at that place.
 The Shiloh Home Guards met Friday at 1 pm. and we had the pleasure of having Thomas Null, Jr., of Holly Grove with us. MT. Null is the captain of the Holly Grove Guards and to our surprise he brought with him Captain Ted well of Memphis. Captain Tedwell made us an interest ing lecture on the necessity of the Home Guard and it's drill ing. There were several names added to our list at the meet ing and we certainly appreci- ate the interest and pains that Captain Null is taking with our organization. He and Captain Tedwell divided our company and drilled us about an hour, which was enjoyed by all.
 The saddest thing that has happened to us for long time was on last Thursday after noon. A large crowd went to Mud Lake fishing and two of the party Were drowned. A young man about 19 years old l by the name of Johnnie Ruth erford showed an old wrecked boat out in the lake and fol- lowed it out some distance and | when he turned it loose to | swim back to land he sank. 1 A young man by the name of | Gid Conner jumped in with his clothes and shoes on and swan put to rescue the drowning boy and in the same way lost control of himself and both the young men met their fate together. It was a very sad | scene. We are very sorry for every relative of the young men. Young Conner was from Alabama and his father and grandfather were notified and they came and carried the body back to Alabama for bur- al. We want to say to Mr. Corners relatives, though it is sad, yet they can point with pride to his grave and say that n this grave there lies sleep- ing hero, who will never be 'orgotten by his host of friends n Arkansas. Young Ruther- ord was laid to rest in the Shiloh Cemetery and the fun sral was attended by a large .rowd. There being no minis CTS present we had prayer md a short talk by Arthur Cook and some good songs by he class. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the rel. .tiyes of both the young men. .
