BRIDGE ON SHORT
line is STARTED
Taylor-Upson Structure
to Be Ready Before
Jan. |.

Information from Butler reaching
Americus today is to the effect that
work has commenced on construction
of the Taylor-Upson county bridge
over the Flint river at the Holems
Ferry site, and that the work is al
ready well under way. This bridge is
located upon the -Ellaville-
Butler-Atlanta highway, and its COM
pletion will mark the closing of the
last gap in this important road. A
large force is now engaged in build
ing the two fills which will form the
approachs to the new bridge, and as
soon as this work is finished actual
work upon the bridge itself will be
commenced.
The contract for the construction
of the bridge has been let to Bir-
mingham concern by the federal au-
thorities, the bridge being a federal
aid project. The contract provides
that the bridge must be completed
by January /, 1921, but indications
now are that the structure will be
finished and opened for traffic long
before that time.
The erection of this bridge has
been projected for several years, but
owing to certain local conditions it
was impossible to raise sufficient
funds to pay for it either through
taxation or bond issue, and several
months ago a delegation of Taylor
and Upson county business men
headed by Walter E. Steed, of Butler,
visited the points between here and
Butler, soliciting subscriptions to the
found to pay for part of the bridge
Americas and Ellaville business men
subscribed to this fund, and partly
through their efforts, its erection was
made possible.
With the completion Of the bridge
the new route from Americus to At
lanta will be open for use at all sea-
sons, providing shorter and more
direct road for traffic between the
two cities and this entire section.

allowed base on balls. Parsons al
lowed only three hits and FELTON, five.

Why, it is the honest truth. the very first bottle made me feel like q different man entirely. have taken five bottles so far, and don't remember ever feeling better in every way than I do now. I have q fine appetite and eat just anything want, and as much as I want. and never have a sign of stomach trouble of any kind afterwards. The pains in my back are all gone. too, and I don't have any signs of rheumatism any more. My nerves are as steady as they ever were. and I get plenty of good refreshing sleep every night and I haven't had one of those nervous headaches since I finished my first bottle of Tanlac. It is wonderful the way I have gotten back my strength and I am gaining in weight every day, Tn fact. l am in perfect condition in every way. and I just feel fine all the time.

 10 WALK HE SAYS
OoWN-FEELS FINE SINCE TANLAc BUILT HIM UP

''Tanlac has not only overcome my troubles, but has built my entire sys- tenn up so much that feel as well and strong as I ever did in my life." said Thomas Marris, well known car re- pairer from the Canadian Northern Railroad, while in the Owl Drug Store in Vancouver the other day. As Mir Morris work carries him from one end of the railroad to the other, he has no permanent address and is only in Vancouver for few days.
 ''I have taken lots of medicine dur ing the past three years" continued Mir Morris, but instead of improvinr, my condition gradually got worse all the time, and when l commenced talk ing Tanlac. l had reached the point with my york. My stomach was in such bad condition that everything ' I aften be so badly bloated up with gas I could hardly get good breath
 Then. too, I had a pain in the smaIl of my back right over my kidneys nearly all the time. and sometimes the muscles and leaders in my back Were so stiff couldn't stoop over. Then. to add to my misery, I contracted rheu- matism in my knees and this trouble was so bad at times I could hardly walk. Finally my nerves went back on me. and I got to where I couldn't sleep to do any good. and would often have bad spells of nervous headache and just simply got to where I was about all in.
 That was the condition was in when I began taking Tanlac, but I'll

 T was here few weeks on the farm and then went to my ranch in Montana. The situation there Is grave Three fourths of the state did not have lany crops for the past three years Ninety per cent of the stock has gone
 out of the country and hundreds of
 thousands have died. This winter has
 been severe. Even the working
 horses are dying. My brother, locat-
 ed in the Gallatin Valley, where he has eight thousand acres. will have a hard time to winter his stock and meet the high cost of living at the same time. At the time I was in Great Falls. Helena. Butte. Virginia City and Bozeman, eggs were se1linS
