Interesting Letter From Sweet
water Community.
(Written for Last Week.)
n
Sunday was a beautiful churcli
/going day and a good congregation
' worshiped at Sweetwater. We were
frlad to have some of the Hardy's
0 members among us. Our pastor,
Rev. E. W. Reynolds, delivered a
clear, forceful eerraon, using as his
text, 2nd Peter, third chapter and.
(1 'venth verse. After the sermon
,sthe church held a short conference
and gave our pastor an indefinite
call. We hope that all of his mem
bers will stand by bira and help to
make the work of the Kingdom
grow.
?Mr. Luther Getzen and daughter,
Mrs. Will Fortsozi, of Columbus,
Ga., are here on a visit to relatives.
The work on Mr. Jas. McClain's
fungalow is progressing, and Mr.
TJ. M'. Gardner expects to erect a
dwelling in that neighborhood soon.
Our pastor who lives in Warren
ville, spent the week-end here among
rh?8 people. We are always glad to
have him and wish he could come
oftener.
Little Georgia Murrah has again
been quite ill, but all of ns are glad
to know that she is improving. Mrs.
ina Matthews has also been on
ie sick list, but we were pleased to
?ee her out at church Sunday. /
Our community was saddened by
the sudden death of Miss Paris
Munday on last Thursday evening.
At the time, she was visiting her
niece, Mrs. Annie Thiot of Grove
town, Ga. At 3 o'clock Friday af
ternoon ber remains were laid at
rest beside those of her parent in
\the Sweetwater cemetery. The Rev.
Albert Howard of Grovetown, con
ducted the short, but vary impres
sive service. The floral offerings
.were beautiful and spoke of the
high esteem in which she waR held.
.The following gentlemen acted as
M pall bearers: Messrs. James Horne,
j Elijah Horne, Wm. Rutland, Bail
I ey Munday, Walter Timraerman,
I Mr. Reese, the fiist four of whom
I were her nephews. Miss Munday
was in her 60th year.
I For quite a number of years she
fajad been a faithful member of the
rSweetwater Baptist church. All
through her life she was remarked
; for her constant cheerfulness, and
I the loss of ber presence in our com
I munity will be greatly felt.
* She leaves surviving bei four
brothers, Messrs. Pierce Munday of
LGrovetown, Monroe Munday, of
Brenton, Elbert Munday of Edge
KelAr^'W. Munday, of Ropers, and
|One sister, Miss Fannie Munday, of
Ropers.
We extend our deepest sympathy
to her loved ones, and especially to
her sister whose lonoliness none can
appreciate save those who have sus
tained such a loss.

"IT IS JUST -WONDERFUL," SAYS
STARR WOMAN, TELLING How
SHE COMBATTED TROUBLE.
After suffering twelve years, the
last several months of which were
so severe that she believed herself
on the verge of the grave, Mrs. El
la Evans, of Starr, S. C., Route 4,
found great and almost complete
relief in the first bottle of Taulac
she took. "It seemed almost like a
miracle the way Taulac worked,"
she said.
Mrs. Evans was interviewed at
the home of her son-in-law, C. C.
Crocker, of ll Prince, street, An
derson. Her statement follows:
Vi suffered very badly from stom
ach trouble for twelve years before
I began taking Tanlac, and it seem
ed that no medicine would break
up my trouble. Frequently I would
i ve terrible spells, and my heart,
nach and nerves would get out
order all at once and I would
nearly die with these attacks. I
had lost hope and I did not believe
I would ever get well. Also I had
a very bad bowel trouble with these
attacks. My nerves were in a ter
rable fix and my heart fluttered a
great deal.
"I oculd not sleep well, and I was
so weak I could hardly walk.
Though I had the best of medical
attention, I got no better. I live in
the country,, but when I came
here to visit relatives I did not
know that I would live to get back
home.
"My relatives here persuaded
me to take Tanlac and I consented.
I have just finished my first bottle,
I am a great deal stronger now in
every way and I aave not had one of
those attacks since I began taking
Tanlac. My nerves are much strong
er, and my stomach, liver, bowels
and heart have been strengthened
and regulated. I have a good ap
petite now, also.
"The very first dose of Tanlac
brought a change for the better and
it seemed like a miracle the way
Tanlac worked. I stopped all other
treatment when I began Tanlac. In
every way Tanlao has made my
