MARSHALL L. AAExANDER DEAD.
Shot and Instartly Killed by Ter-
ant, 1t Is Supposed.

The many friends Of Marshall L..
Alexander, formerly Of Oconee, but
for number of years a resident Of
Oklahoma, will be grieved to hear
Of his untimely death, which occurred
In the country few miles from
Wilson, Okla, on the 9th Of Decem-
ber. A telegram was received here
by his brothers, who live in the
Coneross neighborhood, containing
a mere announcement Of Mr.. Elex-
ander's death, but giving no particu-
lars. r. II. Jaynes, Esq, on Thurs
day last received a letter from his
cousin, Nat l.. Davis, OF Arlington,
Texas, in which he enclosed q clip
Ping from tho Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram, containing an announcement OF
the shooting Of Mr.. Alexander,
though the information contained in
this notice is very brief and lacking
III detail. We reproduce the clip
ping in full:
NJ. Il. Alexander Killed.
"Ardmore. Okla, Dec. 28.-M. Il.
Alexander, prominent real estate
dealer and land owner of this city,
was shot and instantly killed on his
farm, seven miles south of Wilson,
yesterday afternoon. He had gone
to the farm to show it to two pros
rcctive tenants. AS they walked out
into an open field seven shots in all
from a 30-30 rifle were fired at them
by some one concealed in a thick ct
on ridge several hundred yards
away, the last shot striking Alexan-
der in the side and passing through
his body, killing him instantly.
County Attorney Russell Brown,
Of Ardmore, and some friends were
hunting mile away when they
heard Of the killing. They went to
the spot and found the body and had
1t brought to Alexander's home in
this city. No arrests have been made.
The theory Of the officers is that one
Of Alexander's tenants was the as
sailant."

CONVINCED OF TANLAC
BY AID GIVEN WIFE.
Husband Says She Added Fifteen
Pounds on -Four Bottles.
DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT
Know Tanlac Would Help Him Geart.
ly When He Began 1t, And He
Tells "Details.

Cases In which two or more peaple
in the same family have been so
greatly benefited by Tanlac that
they have offered a double endorse
ment OF this famous Master Medi-
cine are common. When you see a
person relieved Of suffering and
made strong again, it is the most
natural thing in the world for you
to want the same benefits. This is
how Charles e. Whitmore, Of 1O3
Bradford St., Albany, N. Y, happen
ed to take Tanlac.
MY wife, who had been all run
down and nervous and getting weak
or right along, began TO take Tan
lac" Mr.. Whitmore explained. "Well,
of course, l watched the results, and
1t was wonderful to see the way it
built her up. On four bottles she
gained fifteen pounds. / had been
doubtful about Tanlac, but that set
tied me. When / started Tanlac I
could hardly eat one good meal in a
whole week. From suffering with a
had stomach | had become nervous
and restless at night and all run
down. Instead Of digesting, my
food would just lie like lead on my
stomach and sour and ferment and
form gas. Because l had sour
stomach--acid stomach-so long, my
/ mouth had gotten sore. l could not
sleep restfully, but would wake up
every hour or two and would roll and
toss. was tired in the morning,
and by mid-afternoon was so tired
, out it seemed couldn't get through
! the day. I had lost all ambition,
and l did not care. Seeing what
| Tanlac had done for my wife en-
G uraged me to take it and l was
not surprised when it began to brace
me up right away. 1t did as much
for me as It did for her. slept
/ right through the night, woke up

vas able to enjoy my meals. My
food digested. and the gas, bloating
and sour stomach disappeared. |
) felt like a new man, and the old
tired. worn-out feeling went with the
Test Of my troubles"
When Mr.. Whitmore's stomach be-
came weak, his system probably be-
"an to clog up with waste matter.
What he needed was a good system
purifier and stomach tonic and re-
Operative, and Tanlac did the work
for him and his wife, just as it has
done for countless thousands Of
others suffering from similar trou-
I bles.

SOLDIER IS PRAISED
Best Ever Seen, Prince Carl Declares
-Against U-Boat Warfare.

With the American Army OF Oc-
cupation, Monday, Dec. 30.-In a
talk recently with an American OFF,
Ger, Prince Carl Of IohenZollern,
lieutenant general and commander
of tho 38th Landwehr Brigade, who
is now living IN the area occupied by
the Americans, said that in all his
thirty-tw0 years experience In the
army he never had seen anywhere
soldiers OF better discipline or who
behaved better than the Americans.
The prince, who Is Il member of a
ronreigning house Of tho Hohenzol-
lern family, according to the Ameri-
can officer, appeared not to realize
the indignation created in the United
States through the sinking of the
lusitania and expressed surprise
when he was told that celebrations
were reported to have taken place
in Germany and medals awarded to
the submarine crew when tse big
Cunard liner was sent to the bottom.
The prince said personally he disap-
proved of submarine warfare and
bombing by means Of airplane. lie
asserted Germany should not have
started her submarine warfare with
out being absolutely certain it would
succeed.
AS to Propaganda.
Prince Carl said he regarded the
German propaganda in the United
States had been carried out in what
he termed such a clumsy manner.
Germany, he declared, should have
started her propaganda on a larger
scale and spent millions Of marks in
stead Of thousands.
The greatest fault with Germany's
diplomacy, he added, was the per-
sistent disregard Of the Importance
of the national psychology and fail
ure to appreciate the points in view of
ether nations.
The prince was discharged from
the German army ut Hanover a few
days ago and is living at his castle
| az Naumedy on the Rhine near An
dernach. He said his first intima-
tion OF Germany's military COLLAPSE
| was when tho high command sent an
| order to him on tho western front
| to man telephone with an officer
Of the personnel. The only troops
| in the interior OF Germany, the prince
| Hdded, when the recent trouble start
ed, were replacement battalions Of
young, unframed men, who were
easily contaminated by Bolshcvit
doctrine 1t was his opinion, he as
serted, that this owuld not have hap
pcncd If an old-time German officer
had been commanding.

indebted to Miss Ruby Hickson, the
efficient principal OF Chattooga school,
for a very interesting and enjoyable
program in connection with the
sight Of a beautiful Christmas tree.
For weeks, with untiring energy.
Miss Hickson was drilling and in

the occasion. and in the course of
events the time arrived on Christ

be presented.
The patrons and friends Of the
school had co-operated heartily in
all Of the plans. Despite the threat

the morning, in the afternoon the
people began to assemble, and by
the time the hour arrived to begin,
the house was comfortably filled,
and weather conditions had become
favorable. Then, in connection with
the opening exercises, some good,
oldstyle country music, with banjo
and violin, was rendered by some of
the young gentlemen friends of the
school. Everything worked with
clock-like precision. Each pupil par

My Dear Folks:

rather, name. So here | have been
