CARROLLTON

Carrollton. May lS.-(Special.)- )--Dr. Hiilis' lecture and stereopticon views on the German atrocities was given to Carrollton audience Thursday evening in the courthouse. and was witnessed by large crowd. This lec- ture and stereopticon views were se- cured through the efforts of Rev. Charles H. Majors. pastor of the Car rollton Presbyterian church. and will be used during the Red Cross drive in this county for the raising of s4000.
 MT. Nabers has announced several appointments in the county, and will be assisted in the work by Rev R. l.. Dill. pastor of the Methodist church.
 Weather conditions are becoming more favorable to growing crops, which are yet small, owing to so much cool weather. Some difficulty has been experienced by the farmers in securing stands of cotton. and many had to replant. The cotton acreage has been increased in the county over the past two years, as we'll as the corn acreage. and some fear is now felt that sufficient labor cannot be secured to properly cultivate the crop.

 My friends urged me to try Tan lac and it has just made a new per son of me. The pains are entirely gone from my chest and back and sides, and I never have sign of in- digestion. The gas has stopped form : ing in my stomach. my complexion has cleared up. l can eat anything I want without trouble, I sleep we'll at night and feel we'll all the time'
