Rockland Courier - The
county commissioners have appealed
to the attorney general for a ruling
as to the salary Of the recorder of
the Municipal Court. Frank A. Tir-
reil. Jr.. who holds that Office asked
the Legislature to increase his salary
from $500 to $500. and nearly fell
out OF his chair when he learned that
the salary had been fixed at $1,000.
On the assumption that somebody
made clerical error, and that it was
never the intention of Legislature to
make any such present to Knox
county. the commissioners have de.
cided to look into the matter,

REV. A. H. SYKES
IS MUCH GRATIFIED
AT THE RESULTS

The Rev. A. II. Sykes, pastor OF the
Watkins Park Presbyterian Church,
Nashville. Tenn, prominent not only
as a minister Of the gospel. but pop
ular as a man and citizen who has
been true to his friends and every
trust ever reposed in him. said re-
Gently:
For the last ten months Mrs.
Sykes has been IN very delicate
health. suffering from bad stomach
and kidney troubles. which gradually
developed into general nervous
breakdown. At times her condition
became alarming and frequently
sought medical advice. but nothing
we could do for her seemed to bring
relief.
In fact. she suffered so long and
so much that l feel it my duty to let
everyone know what this medicine
has done for her. For several
months her condition was such that
she had to remain in bed. and as a
last resort l decided to let her try
Tanlac.
Il am a conservative man and have
always been skeptical regarding the
use of proprietary medicines. but this
case has certainly proven an excep-
ton. l am now firmly convinced
that Tanlac is a medicine Of great
power and extraordinary merit. l do
not think l have ever seen anything
to give such prompt results. Mrs.
Sykes had taken only two-thirds of
a bottle of this medicine when We
began to notice a marked improve
ment in her condition. In less than
a week from the time she began TAX
ing it she was able to sit up and is
today able to help with the house
hold duties. Before she began TAX
ing Tanlac she had fearful pains in
her side and suffered constantly from
sour stomach and indigestion and
was intensely nervous. These dis
tressing symptoms, / am thankful to
say have entirely disappeared. her
appetite has returned and she seems
to relish everything she eats. She
sleeps better and is gaining strength
and flesh rapidly. l think it only
question of a short time until her
health is fully restored.
''Tanlac has certainly proven a re-
markable remedy in her case and will
do all you claim for it. / cheerfully
recommend it to my friends"

ever, under Burleson S temporary ar

be given for various articles up to
the limit of 12j pounds with but one
initial charge of five cents the ad-
ditiOnal weight aecumulating the
charge at the rate of from one.half 20
