 A BOTTLE, HE SAYS
Mallory Declares Four Bot ties of Tanlac Relieved Him Entirely After
 He Had Suffer
 ed 45 Years.

T wouldn't take five hundred dollars in cash for the good Tan lac did me" said J. M. Mallory a well-known farmer of Stone wall, Georgia, short time ago.
 For forty-fve years I suffer- ed almost every day." he con- tinued, and was so crippled up with rheumatism that l had to hobble around on crutches. My knees were so stiff 1 could hard ly bend them, and often l have been so weak that l have had to take my rad for weeks at time. More than half the time 1 could not do any work. 1 had indi- gestion and stomach trouble, too, and my back hurt me so bad that 1 couldn't lay on my left side at all. tried every med icine saw advertised and many prescriptions besides. but l kept getting worse.
 My brother living in Atlanta told me what Tanlac had done for him and begged me to try it. We'll, sir, l have taken four bottles in all and 1 have thrown my crutches away, for the rheu- matism is entirely gone and l can jump two feet off the ground without hurting me a bit. l feel as well as 1 ever did in my life. !"
 Tanlac is sold in Brinkley ex- clusively by M, B. Converse and by one. established agency in 1 every town.

TIE call of Chief of Fire De- partment H. L. D. Whitson for sufficient fire hose to protect the city against the fire monster, has been given in vain to the city authorities for many months. They say, we haven't any money on hand" but 1 am wondering just which will be cheaper to do without, fire fight ing apparatus or do without prop erty which is sure to be lost if fire gets a start in Brinkley. Our business men are long headed and capable in their individual business but it does seem that they are short sighted in this respect. The idea of having a great plant with a pay roll of many thousands of dollars per month burn down and a total loss all because of lack of a few hundred dollars spent for protection is foolish in the ex- treme,

 Another mammoth new brick block 75 X 100 it. is being built on the south side by Rue Abram- son, just east of the Mayo & Mayo big block. The post office is going into one room and Rue is matching heads and tails with himself to see whether he moves their big store in or rents it tc others.
 A new municipal water supply or well, costing about $700, and the pumping done by automatic electric apparatus, has just been finished.
 l heard with satisfaction ot the promotion of Dr. P. E. John. son, a former H. c. doctor, who lately entered the U. s. service, to the office of Major and of his sailing this week for France. c. R. Gordon, who has a nam. moth garage and has it filled with fine new cars, has lately added a big tire vulcanizing out fit and is keeping man busy or this work all over this section.
 The Holly Grove chautauqu;

 to Camp Pike and is Building Sec'y of Building No. 3S Y. M. c. A. Mack is a pine knot when lit comes to physical trials and l if he but stays on the job he is
 now engaged at he will be
 strengthened in some other lines.
 As you see the many thou
 sands of soldier boys passing thro' Brinkley each week to the east, 1t may have occurred to you that they are not carrying much with them. No, they leave their old clothes and everything else at Camp Pike but their
 'leavings" are not thrown away at all. Several huge warehouses in the camp are filled with great piles of winter clothing, turned in by troops that have gone east in the past months. and that are now being carefully examined by experts to see whether 1t is worth cleaning and mending for further use, or whether it shall go to the junk man as old rags. All bedding ard old equipment is washed and disinfected, and it too is used if not too far gone. Uncle Sam is practicing conser- vation himself these days.
 Claude Sims, the bright young son of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Sims, was aboard the troop train on Saturday last, going east. A big crowd of friends welcomed him and wished him well.
 A letter from Ralph B. Humphries of Go. B. 317 M. c. Br. 8Ist Div, Camp Hancock, Ga. tells in verse of the Girl he left behind him. He was from this county at Monroe.
