New Settlers On Farm
Lands In S. Georgia

Valdosta, Gal M. Jacks and
Harry Miller, recently of Wisconsin,
have bought small farms a few miles
south of Valdosta, on which they are
preparing to build homes. Primarily
they expect olive in Lowndes coun-

engage in market gardening, just to
keep active. Both visited many other
parts of South Georgia before finally
selecting place for home.
C. E. Hughes, New York state, has
bought place few miles from the
city and expects to engage in the
poultry business. Besides producing
eggs in large quantities, Mr.. Hughes
will also breed fancy chickens Off

Finds Menagerie In
Back Yard Of Home

Franklin, Ky.-At least one Simp-
son county farmer has had greater
thrill than visit to the circus in boy
hood days.
John Denning, the farmer, awoke
yesterday morning to find good
portion of a menagerie in his back
yard-three camels and an elephant
to be exact.
The camels evidently were dry, as
they were clustered about rain bar
rel. The elephant was hungry. He
was in the garden.
Catching the camels to return them
to their owners, circus that played
here Tuesday, was an easy matter.
The elephant, however, found the
truck garden fare apparently more to
his liking than the circus picket line
rations, as he refused to leave until
late in the afternoon.
The garden was stripped clean.

BAD SPRA|N GIVEN
AMAZING RELIEF
Uses simple home treatment
Goes to work next day

While working on the deck of a steamer
at Sparrows Point, Md, Lewis H.
Niemyer, of Baltimore, Md, tripped
over rope and sprained his ankle.
"Twenty minutes later, I could
hardly walk with cane" he writes.
"That night I got a bottle4of Sloan's
Liniment, and to the surprise of all
the boys in the shop, I was at work
next morning."
It is remarkable the help that
Sloan's gives to sprain. Just little
of this remarkable liniment patted
lightly on, and you begin to feel relief.
Right to the place that hurts it
brings the fresh healing blood-build-
ing up the injured tissues. The swelling
and inflammation go down, the pain
stops. Get bottle today and hayeit
on hand. All druggists-35 cents.
