FELL OUT OF BED

Howard WhelclicI, Age 62 Years, Found Dead at 1 O'Clock Friday Night at Home, East of the City—Had Been in Good Health.

Howard Whelchel, age 62 years, died suddenly and unexpectedly at about 1 o'clock Friday night, at his home near Trees' shop, east of the city.

Mr. Whelchel, who was employed at Trees' shop and lived two doors west, was in his usual health when he retired. He has been an unusually strong and healthy man, never having been sick. At 1 o'clock his wife heard him fall to the floor from the bed, and as he made no effort to arise, she ran to the door and screamed. L. J. Trees, whose home is in the same yard, ran to the whelchel home and found that Mr. Whelchel was dead, seemingly never having moved after striking the floor.

Undertaker Oak S. Morrison and Coroner Earl R. Gibbs were later called. Mr. Whelchel was a well known citizen, industrious and a good neighbor.

The coroner's investigation shows that Mr. Whelchel died of heart trouble. He leaves a widow and grown children.

IN GEORGIA

Air. and Mrs. Joseph Low Write In teresingly to Relatives Here of Their Visit in the South.

The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. Beck Lowe, of Jackson township, from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Low, who are now at Thomasville, Georgia, and will be of interest to Hancock county people: "Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 20, 1911. "Dear Nephew and Niece:— "I think you must have forwarded your rainy weather down South for it rained three days last week and it commenced again about midnight last night and has rained in the old-fashioned way ever since The streets look like a creek flowing down them, but the soil is so sandy here that the water is not long if getting away. The soil is like red brick dust, yet it is said to produce well. The farmers have their winter oats sowed and they are up. They will be harvested about the time we sow up north. They yield 50 to 75 bushels per acre. After oats are harvested the same ground is planted in cotton, which makes two crops per year. Nearly every farmer farms with one horse or mule, and ten acres is a good crop of cotton for one man to look after. The cotton crop was so great last year that the bottom dropped out of the price and many poor fellows who were renting were sorely hurt. The prices of cotton are like the wheat prices the better the crop in general the lower the price. "Everybody here have such large yards and gardens and they look like our gardens in May or June.

We can get all the lettuce, radishes, onions, beets, beans, turnips, cabbage and peas that' we want, and people are still planting garden for spring use. A great number keep their cows and chickens. We purchased a hen yesterday for 60c, a dozen of eggs at 35c, a pound of butter for 'i5c, and we pay 10c per quart for milk. This is sure a southern town—three colored to one while. There are stores, restaurants, livery barns, barber shops, and other places of business run by the colored people, and all the postmen are colored. Yet they are all respectable and accommodating.

Mr. Low has found only one old soldier since he came down here, and he had just arrived from Illinois. We don't like Thomasville and are talking of leaving January 6fh. We don't know where we will go. but feel sure we will leave here. We talk some of going from here to a town called Valdosta, nearly fifty miles east and a little south, but I think we will land in Florida for Mr. Low cast a wistful eye in fliat direction before we left home. We are Ihirly-six miles from the capital of Florida and 208 miles from Ihe capital of Georgia. This is an old town and, before the wrar, a very prominent place, but now it is kept up mostly by winter tourists from the North. There are 8,800 inhabitants. We understand there are sixteen northern millionaires in their own winter homes here. We have learned the names of several of them and one I will mention in particular. He is Mel Hanna, the brother of Mark Hanna. His sister, equally as wealthy,, owns a winter home here. They bring their white servants with them. Their homes are out in the edge of the country and the houses are like a palace

Mel Hanna owns.6,000 a£res of land, four miles from t.own. Land is higher here than in Texas. It produces better, because it rains much more here, but the soil does not look to be any better. We have all had severe colds. We can't tell yet what it will do for Sadie. We know she isn't cured of asthma, but Gladys is picking up the southern talk. One thing that sounds queer to us is for people to address us as "Yankees," yet they don't seem to want us to take exception to it. We have seen very few people real southern born. A sight to us is to see oxen worked like horses, as horses are scarce and high in price.

Mules are the work animals in this country. "The houses are built on stilts, two to four feet high, and each of the rooms has a fire place—Gladys calls them fire escapes. The first one she saw she spid the house was on fire. There arc plenty of autos, but no street cars, and only two paved streets. I don't expect' Christmas for us to be beyond the ordinary, but we hope it will bring happiness and gladness in your home and the homes of our relatives and friends. "Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Low."

A New Year's Resolution

RESOLVE—that during the year 1912 you will not resort to injurious stimulants to "brace up" on when you are feeling poorly.

Intemperance is largely the result of a desire to "brace up" a weakened physical or mental condition. It's a poor temporary prop that is permanently injurious.

Experts prove that the intemperate use of tea and coffee is as injurious as the intemperate use of alcohol.

All produce serious digestive and nervous disturbances including constipation and nervous prostration.

BONANO will "brace you up" permanently by its sustaining food value, which is easily and quickly digested.

A South Carolina physician writes:—

(Incorporated)

Wanted—At once. Men to repre sent us, either locally or traveling. Now is the time to start. Money in the work for the right men. Apply at once and secure territory. Allen Nursery Co., Rochester, N. Y.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smart and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Young, Mrs. John Bolim and daughter, Miss Clara Mrs. F. E. Pherigo, and Mrs. M. Young spent New Years day in the country with Mr. and Mrs. Earl Judy.

Rufus Wilson was taken very sick Sunday at the home of Walter Clark on West North street. His illness is in the nature of appendicitis.

"Yesterday I received a canof BONANO. Have tried it and believe it is a good, nourishing drink that I can recommend to my patients whom I will not allow to use tea or coffee."

BONANO is a delicious table drink—and a pure fruit product, easily and quickly prepared—boil one minute.

BONANO contains no caffeine, theine, tannic acid or anything injurious.

Its cost to you is one-third of one cent per cup—a 25-cent can makes 75 large cups.

Look for the red BONANO can on your grocer's shelves, or send 2-cent stamp to us for ten-cup-can-sample and booklet. Learn more about BONANO at once—and start the new7 year right.
