loathing of food, constipation, torpid
liver, vomiting Of partly digested

much consolation in knowing that re-

GAINING WEIGHT AT
RATE OF ALMOST A

REMARKABLE RESULTS FOLLOW
THE USE OF A BOTTLE
OF TANLAC.
TESTIMONIALS ARE NUMEROUS
Hardly A Day Passes That Some
one Does Not Write to Tell of the
Wonders That Have Been Accom-
pIished by the Master Remedy.

One of the strongest evidences Of
the rapidly growing popularity of Tan
lac and of the wonderful results it is
accomplishing is the large number OF
letters that are being received daily
from well known men and women
throughout the South.
Scarcely a day passes that scores
of letters are not received from
grateful users of Tanlac and their
statements are indeed remarkable
Among the number recently received
is the following letter from William
Breed of Longview, Tex, which is
published word for word, just as il
was written:
Longview, Texas,
January Is, 1917.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
On November 25, bought one bot
tie of Tanlac and commenced taking
same according to directions
weighed only one hundred and thirty
pounds. In ten days / gained seven
pounds and | am gaining at the rate
of five pounds a week and weigh one
hundred and fifty-five pounds at the
present time. Tanlac beats any medi-
cine that | have ever taken to build
up a run down system. l would not
take 800 for what it has done for
me. 1t is the best tried medicine
that / have ever taken for catarrh
of the head and have tried several
different kinds of catarrh medicines
Ny catarrh is nearly gone, also my
stomach trouble of which have been
suffering for more than twenty years
has almost disappeared, and | give
all praise to your great medicine.
When commenced taking Tanlac
could not do a days work but now
believe | can do as much hard work
as any man.
Very truly,

NARROW ESCAPE
RAILROAD CROSSING
CAR TURNED INTO DITCH GOES
OVER, BUT OCCUPANTS
ARE UNHURT.

While coming to Columbia this
morning, P. w. Clark and his sister
had a narrow escape from what might
have been a very serious accident
Mr.. Clark was driving his car and In
turning corner to cross the railroad
about five miles out on the Lewisburg
road, failed to note the approach Of q
train. Realizing his position he turned
the car quickly and threw it into d
ditch on the side of the road. The
car turned over, but fortunately Meth
er Mr.. Clark nor his sister was hurt
and the car, strange to say, was not
badly injured.

SEED POTATOES TO
Be UNUSUALLY HIGH

THE TUBERS.
ALMOST SEVEN DOLLARS BARREL
Tennessee Triumphs VIII Cost $3.50
Per BusheI, While the Cobblers viii
Brinu $2.4o-Next Summers Prices
Expected to be High.

Seed Irish potatoes are going to be
high this spring, higher than they
have been in many years. Dealers
have in the past usually quoted them
by the barrel. This year they are 60
ing to quote them by the bushel. A
barrel sounds too high. For example,
ut $3.50 per bushel, barrel OF eleven
pecks would cost about 81. That Is
almost an unprecedented price.
A continuous drouth Of several
months last fall practically destroyed
the Irish potato crop in this and other
counties of Tennessee. Then the gen
,eral increase in the cost OF all food
products has been felt with Irish po-
fatoes.
Local dealers are asking $3.50 a
bushel for second crop Tennessee Tri
umph Irish potatoes and $2.40 for
Irish cobblers. This is around seven
dollars a barrel for the former and
$3.50 for the cobblers.
II is probable that the high price OF
the seed potatoes will cut down the
crop, although the tendency in this
direction may be to certain extent
overcome by the prospect of high
prices next summer. Already the
dealers are offering some attractive
inducements to the growers.

The banquet, served by the good
women Of the church, included all OF
the delicacies of the season. There
were oysters and salad and turkey and
the usual entrees and vegetables and
dessert and coffee. After the coffee
the real feast Of the evening began.
Hon. George T. Hughes, ST., was the
POSTMASTER and the very capable and
gracious manner in which he dis
charged the duties of that rather diff.
cult position added much to the pleas
ure Of the occasion. Mr.. Hughes had
something appropriate and pleasant
to say in introducing each speaker.
The addresses were numerous but
brief and all of them were of a high
order, church work from almost every
standpoint and phase being ably pre-
scented. The program was inter
spersed with a number of musical 50.
lections, Miss Mary Cooper Boyd and
Mrs. Robertson giving vocal solos asd
Mr.. Turner giving violin solo. Miss
Foster gave highly enjoyed reading.
