SERVICE PINS TO
RETURNED MEN TO
BE DISTRIBUTED

The tri-city war camp community
service has secured another supply
of service pins and is ready to dis
tribute them to men returning from
the service.
The original supply was so eager
ly taken up, that a hurry call to
New York for more pins was neces-
sary. These pins have proved very
popular with the men, as they are
very artistically designed and are of
permanent value to the wearer. In
order that these pins be issued to
the proper men, it is necessary for
the applicant either to wear his uni
form or to present his discharge
papers. These pins secure the same
privileges at war camp community
activities as are obtained by wear
ing ca uniform. The pins are being
distributed at war camp community
headquarters, sos Putnam building,
Davenport; Electrical building,
Rock Island, and Recreation hall.

when l first began taking Tanlac, y
said J. S. Pence, of 50 North Cham
bers street, Galesburg, while in the
Hoover Lott Drug Store, recently
81 only weighed 125 pounds and
was one of the sickest men you ever
saw; but now l tip the beam at 1S1
pounds and never have an ache or
pain
Mr.. Pence is a well known G. E.

ing for Is years. His statement re-
garding Tanlac, while indeed re-
markable. is by no means unusual.
as many hundreds have testified to
having used the medicine with the
same wonderful results.
Something like fourteen years
ago. he continued, my STOMACH
got out of order and l started down
hill. I first lost my appetite and
got to where nothing would tempt
me to want to eat Then l got to
the place where | never dared eat
anything except the very Hghtest
of food and even this would cause
almost unbearable cramping pains
in my stomach, and lots of times
the gas would shove up around my
heart and smother me so | would
have to lie down for several hours.
b. When | got to where couldn't eat
any of the more nourishing foods, |
went down hill in a hurry, and got
so l couldn't hold out to work all
day. You just don't know how
heavy a shovel of coal was to me.
it was just all l could do to get it
into the fire box and | tell you |
was almost a nervous and physical
wreck. | hadn't had a real nights
sleep in seven or eight years. and
when | was at my worst, there were
weeks at q time that | could not
close my eyes in sleep at all.
One day after l had been COM
PEELED to quit my job on account of
my condition l started up town and
when | reached the corner where
the bank of Galesburg stands l felt
awfully queer Spots came before
my eyes, a chill came over me and
then all | remember was the sid =
walk looked like it was coming up
and | fell to the ground. had taken
a sudden spell of acute indigestion
and nervous exhaustion and | bare
ly escaped with my life. They took
me to a hospital where | stayed
for four weeks and when I got
home 1 lived on nothing but soups
for weeks. / was nothing but skin
and bones and nothing helped me a
particle, and my wife had been told
I would never get well. While in
,Shis shape a good c. B. & Q. engi-
neer friend OF mine came to see
me and pleaded with me to try Tan

of the rut like it had him Well,
l had 'em get me a bottle, and I

A Wise Farmer.

The writer enjoyed a talk recently
with Mr.. S.rH. Allsbrook, of the Long
Branch section. Up to five years ago,
he was an all cotton farmer and was
ruled by 1.-The King" in a very lordly
manner. He says that he had a hard
time paying off" every fall and de-
cided to cut down on his cotton acre
age. From the very beginning he
began to make money. He raised a
surplus of hogs and corn, which
found a ready sale. Today, instead
of owing money, he says that he is
in a position to lend a little. In adj
dition, his farm is we'll provisioned
for the coming year. He doesn't
fear the coming of the boil weevil
and the latter's invasion will not be
so harmful if other farmers will take
a tip from him.-Barnwell Sentinel

Moves to Beaufort Sounty.

Mr.. J. G. Bramlett and family, who
have been residing nea Bamberg on
the Johns plantation for the past
year or more, have moved to Beau
fort county, where Mr.. Bramlett has
purchased a large truck plantation.
Mr.. Bramlett expected to locate here
permanently, but the coming of the
boil weevil caused him to change his
plans. He is convinced that the wee
vii will bring disaster to the cotton
crop, and he decided to quit cotton
planting before the weevil gets here.
He will devote his plantation largely
to the planting and raising of truck
on a large scale, and he has one of
the finest places in Beaufort county.
Mr.. Bramlett and family made many
friends during their stay in this COM
munity, and it is with deep regret
to their many acquaintances that
they have moved away.

Rev. Williams Leaves Bamberg.

Rev. l.. w. Williams, who has been
in charge of the colored Methodist
pastorate here for a number of years,
has been transferred by the colored
conference to Mayesyille, and Rev. R,
A. Cottingham, of Bowman, comes to
Bamberg to take his place.
1t is with genuine regret to the
people of Bamberg, both white and
jcolored, that the Rev. Williams is to
leave this place. He is a man above
reproach and a credit to his denomi-
nation and race. He is generally lik-
ed, and has many friends among the
white people. Rev. Williams took an
active part in all public matters that
concerned the community and his
race and his work during the past
two years in all war work campaigns
is especially worthy of note.

Bamberg Leads in Weekly Sales.

The weekly report of the war saw
ings committee shows that Bamberg
led the State in sales of war savings
and thrift stamps during the week
ending December 28th, with sales
amounting to Al cents per capita.
This is the first time that Bamberg
has occupied first place in the reports
issued by the committee. The total
sales accredited to the county are
1929, 77S.50, but this is far from the
correct total. All Of the county Off
ces have not yet reported, but The
Herald will probably publish a full re-
port of total sales next week. The
following are the figures on sales for
week ending Dec. % for Bamberg and
neighboring counties:
