Was Complaining

Couldn't Help 1t
STOMACH, BOWELS, LIVER AND

DAY AND NIGHT. HE FOUND

Out around Jefferson, Ga, every
body knows Mr.. r. o. Williamson and
his wife. He is well known and
prosperous farmer While in Athens
recently he said: "My wife and /

trouble, indigestion, constipation and
kidney ailments. We farmers work
pretty hard-we hate to be complain
ing all the time, but these troubles
had me in their grip and l just
couldn't help it at times.
"Sick stomach, weak back and a
sluggish liver caused a struggle day
by day to keep going. Then at night
| would have to be up and down with
my kidneys, getting chilled through
and through, and when morning came
would be about as worn out as l
was the night before.
"But things took a change for the
better when one day / bought a bot

cine, Dreco; it seemed that 1T was
made especially to fit my case, for IN
a very short time l could see an I'M

and then digested it perfectly, leav-
ing no gas in my stomach. My liver
got active; my kidneys seemed to
take on new life, and l would not
have to get up at all during the en-
tire night, and the next morning |
would feel refreshed from a good
nights rest. Ny wife is also greatly
improved and both of US have be-
come strong friends of Dreco."
Dreco is now sold by all progress
sivo druggists throughout the coun-
try, and is highly recommended IN

BODY OF WAR HERO is
FOUND AFTER LONG SEARCH

for the years of the war tells large
part of that conflict. Born in Rhode
Island, he reported to his old home
state after the war and then made
his home at Mulberry, Grove, Ga. A
biography says: Gone June 10, 1856,
he received a sunstroke, from the ef-
fects of which he died on the 18th.
The mourning for him was universal,
for next to Washington perhaps no
man stood higher in the hearts of his
countrymen than General Greene"
And yet his tomb was unmarked,
its location unknown, and where he
slept was a mystery to his fellow
countrymen-of Rhode Island as we'll
as of Georgia-till search begun just
one hundred years ago this month
found the body in 1901.
Death Place Was Famous.
Not only was General Greene ia
nous but the place where he lived the
latter part of his life was a famous
spot. Before the revolution John
Graham, lieutenant governor of the
state, owned this famous and beauti-
full place-fourteen miles from Sa-
vannah. The immense tract was con-
fscated in the war and, valued at a
quarter of million dollars, was pre-
scented by the state to Gen. Greene
as a token of the esteem in which
the people of the southern colony
held his services in the campaigns of
the South 1t was on this plantation
that Eli Whitney, while a guest of
Gen. Greene's widow, invented the
cotton gin. In those times everybody
knew of Mulberry Grove-and its
distinguished master.
But until the spring of 1919 there
was no effort made to locate the
body of Gen. Greene.
In May, 1919, there were more
than a few inquiries coming to Sa-
vannah, to prominent citizens and
to officials of the city, the tenor of
which was: "Where lie the remains
of the gallant Gen. Greene, who died
and was buried in your city,"
Nobody knew; inquiries informally
made brought no results in fact; this
spot and that graveyard were rumor-
ed resting places of Gen. Greene
but no record of burial nor by mark,
ing of monument, neither by word OF
mouth of any who could positively
say, "This is the place-there is his
grave" could the resting place be
cited.
On July 26, 1919, the town coun-
Gil of Savannah took cognizance OF
the repeated inquiries, admitted in
a resolution the neglect of the past
and the duty of satisfying public Gu
riosity-and named Mayor T. U. P,
Charlton and Aldermen Harris and
Ash a committee to search certain

BALD EAGLE EIGHT FEET
TIP TO TIP is KILLED
Turner County Boy Brings Down Big
Bird With Shotgun.

Mr.. James Cravey, of Sycamore,
was in Triton Thursday afternoon
and told of the killing of a bald eagle
by his son, Joe Cravey, Wednesday.
The eagle was monster, measur-
ing feet from point to point, and
was killed with a shotgun, four DIS
charges being necessary to bring it
down. The eagle perched on a tree
near Mr.. Cravey's home and this gave
Joe a chance to put an end to its ca
reet.
1t is very unusual to see eagles, at
this time of the year. They are be-
coming very scarce, but are OCCASION
ally seen near rivers or large creeks
or where there are considerable belts
of timber in the late fall and winter
months, but to find them here after
hot weather comes is something out
of the ordinary.-Tifton Gazette.

The paper has been very success
full, accomplishing much good dur
ing the war. They have printed let
tiers from their employees who en-
tered the service, sent them papers,
and done much to add to the pa
triotism of the shop.
The paper takes the departnlnts

News of the Day i'm Moline and East Moline

pletion Of the First street storm
drain. That drain will be built
jointly with Rock Islands and the
Island city officials have already in
dictated that they are ready to start
the work.
Completion of the project prob
ably will cost Moline about $4,000.
The drain was started two years
ago and city engineers recently
stated that the drain would be of
little use unless completed.
Part of the increase in this year
budget is explained by the increase
of labor and materials necessary to
the city administration. The storm
drain will consume part of the add
ed revenue and the council contem-
plates other improvements which
may be partially paid by the gen
eraI fund.
It is probable that slight salary
increases will be made to the city
officials but that question has not
been definitely settled.
The council has not as yet deter
mined how the cost of the Fifteenth
street paving is to be met. Some of
the aldermen favor paying part of
the cost from the public benefits
fund.
That fund has been set aside
largely for that purpose. There
are very narrow limits placed on
the expenditure of the money in
that fund.

seen by the motorcycle demon
speeding down Fifteenth avenue
at a good clip and he jumped on

after him.
He was Immediately arraigned
in court and was found guilty by
Police Magistrate A A. Niles and
fined S25 and costs. 1t happened
that they caught Minor just when
he couldn't even pay the costs, so
he left his little Saxon with the
police until he could scrape up the
necessary money. Minor claims
that he will never ride in East Mo-
line again.

MOLINE BUDGET
HAS INCREASE
Pillow City Officials Base Hope OF
Future Money on State
Legislature.

Moline aldermen will adopt an
appropriation ordinance next Mon
day night at the regular session
that will call for the expenditure
OF approximately $450,000 during
the current year
The council is basing its new
budget on the hopes that the state
legislature will pass the emergency
tax law permitting city govern
ments to increase the tax levy from
S1.20 to 81.
A special meeting was called
yesterday afternoon of the council
committee and after they had learn
ed that the law probably would be
passed they decided that they
would increase the budget, partial
ly to meet the demands of depart
ment heads for revenue during the
year
Last years appropriation ordi-
nance called for expenditure of
1858 900. The commission, however,
exceeded that figure, passing emery.
ency ordinances amounting to about
$4,000. 1t is said that several large
bills for expenses last year were
left unpaid and the commission
went out of Office May ].
Have No Authority.
The council has no authority to
levy the 50 tax this year, but they
can and may anticipate IS per cent
of next years taxes for this year s
expenses. The Brady tax law, per
hitting city councils to increase the
tax levy for a period not to exceed
three years, without a referendum,
will. it is believed, pass both houses
of the legislature and be signed by
Governor Lowden.
The Moline council will, ii is I'M
derstood, take advantages of the
new egislature-which is designed
to relieve cities in the condition OF
Moline-and levy a 50 tax when
the tax levy is framed in Septem-
Der.
Moline city expenses for the ifs
cal year ended March 81, 1919. were
close to 100000. Adoption of
$45O,O00 appropriation ordinance
does not mean that the city will
spend that much money this year.
1t does give the city commission
to nd S450,O00 if the aldermen
can OBTAIN the money. The increas-
ed tax levy will give Moline about
So, 900 and the council can antic-
ipate rs per cent of that amount for
this year. The council probably
will devise other ways of slightly
municipal revenues.

be adopted next Monday evening
