RAISING LIVE STOCK
in TERRELL COUNTY
FARMER AND STOCKMAN NOTES
SUCCESS OF H. A. PETTY IN
BREEDING THOROBREDS.

The Farmer and Stockman, jour
nal published at Jacksonville, Fla, in
the interest of the live stock industry,
has the following to say of Terrell
county farmer who has met with
much success in raising thoroughbred
hogs and cattle:
On several occasions during the
past year we have commented upon
the great progress that is being made
IN South Georgia in producing great
herds of hogs and cattle both for
market and for breeding purposes,
and when we tell you that one man
in Terrell county has shipped prac-
tically $115, 10000 worth of hogs and
cattle from that section during the
past four and half months you will
commence to realize to what proper
tons the live stock industry is grow
ing in South Georgia.
H. A. Petty, proprietor of H. A.
Petty Farm, Dawson, Ga, is the man
who we refer to as having handled
and shipped this enormous amount
of live stock from Terrell county,
Georgia, since October LIST, all of
which was sold to the White Provis-
ion company, of Atlanta.
Mr.. Petty is one of the prominent
and most progressive breeders of
purebred Durocs and Shorthorns in
the southeast, and while he appears
a little modest when too much atten-
ton is attracted to his own big live
stock operations he is very enthusi-
astic over the great opportunities
that are offered the farmers in Geor-
gia and is doing a great work to pro-
mote the development of the indus
try in his community.
Mr.. Petty is not only firm be-
lever in purebred live stock on ev-
cry farm, but through his own sue
cess is demonstrating the fact that
Georgia is the place to raise it. He is
also an enthusiastic advocate of ed
ucational and promotion work in live
stock development and is an active
member and one of the directors in
both the Georgia Shorthorn Breed
ers' Association as well as the GeOr-
gla Swine Growers Association.
With such men as Mr.. Petty in CO.
operation with many other live stock
breeders throughout the state is it
any wonder that the southeast is MAX
ing such rapid progress in the devel-
opment IN the live stock industry?

give rise to various diseases of the
skin. 1t becomes more or less vel
low, and sometimes there is a perfect
jaundice. The white of the eyes also
has a green or yellow tinge. More
or less bile is strained off from the
blood in its passage through the kid
neys, and is mixed with the urine.
The tongue is usually coated with
white or brown scurf. There is If
rltation and frequently chronic in
fiammation of the inner surface of
the stomach and bowels. Sometimes
there is loathing of food and at
other times there is a voracious ap-
petite.
There is feeling of oppression
across the stomach and chest, as if
pressed down by a weight; trouble
some and often frightful dreams, low
spirits, languor and want of energy.
To sum up in a few words, a sen
sation of fullness and distention
across the abdomen, with tenderness
on pressure; lowness of spirits, billi-
BUSINESS, COLES and bilious diarrhoae
and dysenterles; obstinate costive-
ness, jaundice, ETC., may all originate
from the same cause deranged state
of the liver.
The most successful treatment is
to give the patient every night on 60
ing to bed from one to two laxcarin
tablets, or enough of them to insure
one evacuation from the bowels next
morning. The dose of Iaxcarin can
be increased or diminished AT n1eoc
ure, so as to produce the above eff
feet, and their use should be contin-
ued as long as needed. Usually three
or four boxes of laxcarin, at the most
six, are needed.

LIVER COMPLAINTS

Properly, every arrangement of
the liver or bilious system is a liver
complaint; but the peculiar state now
referred to is a CHRONIC AFFEC-
TION, and it usually arises from
torpid or congestive state of that i'm
portant organ. Sometimes the bile is
deficient in quantity or vitiated, or
both these states prevail at the same
time. Sometimes the disease is caus-
ed by an obstruction in the duct or
pipe which conveys the bile from the
liver into the bowels.
This obstruction is very frequent
and is usually caused by the pipe be-
ing clogged up by thick, tenacious
slime or mucus, and sometimes by
gall stones. The bile is then thrown
back into the gall bladder where it
is absorbed by numerous small YES
sells which convey it to the thoracic
duct, and from thence the bile is con-
veyed to the heart, and becomes mix
ed with the blood. The bile in this
manner being diverted from it's prop
er course and circulating in a part of
the body where it was never design
ed by nature, produces evil and of
ten disastrous effects upon the health
of the individual for want of healthy
bile to mix with the alf-digested
food. AS results, costiveness, or al
ternately, costiveness and diarrhoae,
prevail; together with wind in the
stomach and bowels, and the patient
is often annoyed with worms and fire.
quently with piles.
The coarse particles of the bile
thus mixed with this blood, more or
less obstruct the pores of the skin
and small blood vessels, and hence

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF LUCIUS E. STRICKLAND

The silver cord is loosed; the gold
en- bowl is broken; the dust has re-
turned to the earth as it was, and the
pure spirit of Lucius Strickland from
all mortal coils has returned to the
God who gave it.
God called him on the morning of
January goth. He peacefully obey
ed the summons, We know. oh Lord,
Thy judgments are right and Thou
In Thy faithfulness has afflicted US.
Mr.. Strickland died at his home
near Dawson after an illness of only
few days from pneumonia. Disease
laid it's hand ruthlessly upon his
strong body, and all that skill. love
and prayer could do were offered, vet
he had to succunb to the inevitable.
The heavenly Father called him from
his earthly home and loved ones to
rest in that glorious world beyond.
Mr.. Strickland is survived by his
wife and one little boy of only two
summers, his father and mother. Mr.
and Mrs. J. r. Strickland, and one
sister, Mrs. 7. L. Steadham, of near
cambridge, besides a host of rela-
tlves and friends to mourn his death
If we should speak in ton high
praise of him you VIE pardon it on

/ ment of all those virtues That con-

manhood, and hence the world has

that so soon
Death with his weapon wolild lay
him so low
His death was sad blow TO his
many friends; then what must it
have been to his loved ones, who low
ed and cherished him so?
Oh, we paused and wept when his
spirit took its flight to the distant
alden, when his soul departed
through the azure sky. We received
his death as mighty crash that stirs
The bottom deeps of our souls. In the
home he was a good provider of all
the necessities of life To his little
boy he was good father, ever kind,
loving, positive and true; to his wife
he was thoughtful, tender husband,
a congenial companion; to his sister
kind, loving brother; to his dear
parents kind, dutiful son.
We deeply sympathize with the be-
reaved family, for their earthly home
is indeed sad and lonely without the
sweet presence of dear Lucius to en-
ter therein with his smiling face and
cheerful voice to brighten their lives.
However, take consolation that you
will be reunited in that glorious home
beyond the skies, for | know you have
the sweet consolation that Lucius is
at rest, sweet rest, from the tolls and
strife of world of sorrow.

they have ouEiived their usefulness.
Yet, twenty-five years ago they were
the equals Of anything afioat. The In

were impressed with the feeling that
she might turn over in a heavy sea

now THE soys FEEL ABOUT
THEIR GREAT MISFORTUNE

Two little stories come to the Red
Cross headquarters from over seas
a short time ago. One was the story
OF bravery that brought the tears
and one a tale of tears that brought
smiles.
The first story was of a soldier
who asked for a light. He was IN
bed, and a cigarette was between
his lips, placed there by the nurse
after she had finished spreading his
blanket up smoothly. At his ques-
ton she turned and gave him a box
of matches and hurried on, then re-
membered that the arms beneath the
blanket were without hands.
Nurses have TO be without tears,
but there were tears in her eyes as
she turned TO strike the match and
light the cigarette for him.
Quit that" he said, they were
good mitts, and they helped get three
of four Germans before ] lost them.
but they ain'tt worth crying about,
80 there"
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story of
big, husky, colored man, who sat
reading, and the Red Cross worker
at the canteen saw that he had tears
running down his cheeks. She was
curious to know what he might be
reading and was astonished when
she looked over his shoulder to see
that II was the canteen cook book.
He smiled thru his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said
sheepishly. You sure must excuse
me, ma am, but this here book done
