Adieu.
Having becoming tired of doing the
editorial and general roust about act
fora newspaper, 1 ha»e sold '1 he
Henry County Weekly to Messrs.
J. A. Fouche and A. 11 Johnson.
In retiring from the management of
The Weekly my checkered mantel
falls upon the broad editorial shoul
ders of Mr. J. A. Fonche, a gentleman
well aud favorably known to the read
ers of The Weekly. In him the peo
ple will find a wise counselor ; one who
eschews the teachings of McKinley,
and would walk a horse hair across
the Gulf of Mexico to vote the demo
cratic ticket rather than go back on
his raisiug. In short, he is a goodly
sized democratic lump of the salt of the
earth, a prerequistie to all we l legu
lated democratic sheets.
To our friends and patrons we re
turn our thanks foi the liberal manner
in which they have sustained the
Weekly. In this connection we sug
gest that every man should take his
county paper. Do not let its size or
want of general news deter you from
this plain duty. Help the editor by
taking the paper, and he will give you
what you can’t buy in the large week
lies, a paper chock full of local news.
All subscriptions and other accounts
due The Weekly to the 28th of
December 1890 are reserved by my
self. Respectfully,
C. M. Speer.
Consolidation.
After this issue The Henry County
Times will be consolidated with The
Weekly, audio future both papers
will be publisher! as one.
All subscription aud uncxplred ad
vertising contracts of The Times will
be transferred to The Weekly’s list
aud filled out. This will give tlie pa
per an advantage unequaled by perhaps
any country weekly in Georgia. Its
subscription list will be far above ti e
average so-called leading weeklies,
which will afford advertise)s a medium
of rare excellence, aud one which will
always return the best results. We
call special attention of business men
to this feature of the paper feeling con
fident they can do no better than to
remember The Weekiy in placing
thair advertising contracts.
Mr. J. A. Fouche will have editorial
management of the paper, aud Mr. A
B. Johnson will be in charge of the
mechauical department, assisting in
such editorial work as he may find time
from his other duties to do.
The cordial support of all old fiiemls
of both papers (of course including
everybody else among the new ones we
hope to make) is earnestly solicited.
J. A. Fouche,
A. B. Johnson.
Salutatory.
Ouce again it is our pleasure to peu
a word of greeting to the readers of the
old Henry County Weekly,
In returning to McDonough we have
been welcomed with a cordiality and
kindness which could come only from
such friends and such people as make
up the citizenship of Henry county.
For all this we connot hope to find
words to appropriately express our ap
preciation. May God bless and con
tinue to prosper the old couuty, with
every individnal, high or low, within
her borders !
, Loving her people, her hills, her val
leys, her rocks, her streams, her bright
sunny skies, and in fact her every sur
rounding and influence as we do, we
could not be less than glad to return .
but when extended so many express
ions of warm, kindly friendship, we
are wedded anew to those friends, and
for the remainder of life (a kind Pro
vidence permitting) we humbly pledge
them the best of whatever is left.
Unless the future has in ttore some
unayoidable turn of fortune, the re
maining days of our earthly probation
shall be spent among the good peop] e
here. Feeling that we have a citizen
ship and a section unsurpassed in this
fair Southland, ours shall be a labor of
pleasure to always help build up and
benefit the entire community.
Wherever a word of encouragement
can be given, it shall be cheerfully done j
—whatever tends to estrange friends,
or to engender strife of any kind where
it should not exist, shall bo carefully
avoided as far as possible.
We make no assertion beforehand
as to what we will do. Our time and
|ab r shall be earnestly devoted to the
paper, and we promise if within our
power it shall continue to improve un
til it is the leading weekiy of Georgia.
In Mr Lou Johnson we have a most
faityful aud earnest co-laborer. Know
ing him to be a young man of the
strictest moral integrity, energetic hab
its, a skillful printer and useful news
paper man, it is with much pleasure we
antitunce his connection with tba pa
per.
Witli arrangements second to none for
type setting, therefore, and an outfit not
to he equaled by any county paper in
the State, The Weekly solicits the
patronage of the public, with the assur
ance that all business shall hecoirectly
and promptly transacted.
Wishing all a Happy, Prosperous
New Year, we are,
Very truly,

Obituary.
In memory of Turnipseed, who
died on the 10th day of December,
1890, in his 25th year. His life was
an eventful one, afflicted greatly in
youth and manhood, but amid it all
he sustained a Christian life. Guss, as
lie was familiarly called, joined the M
E. church, South, when he was but
ten years of age. and lived an exem
plary life up to his death, and express
ed his readiness to die, to his parents
and friends, in his last hours, lie
said : “I would like to live, but if it is
the Lord’s will I am ready to die.”
lie was greatly liked bv all g od peo
ple, and especially by his lady friends,
with whom he was a great favorite.
He loved his father, mother and
brothers, and, also, his ouly sister, who
preceeded him but a few months, as
well as his brother John, who also
crossed over that dark river just a
short time before Gus died. All weie
good citizens, good children and good
Christians, and we believe they aie all
in the better world. Their parents
and friends monrn, but not as those
who have no hope. The distressed
family have the sincere sympathy of
the community. To them we would
say, “The Lord giveth. and the Lord
taketh away ; blessed be the name of
the Lord." “Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord." A Friend.
The best medcal authorities say
the proper way to treat catarrh is to
take a constitutional remedy, like
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
BOY TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.
Their Inrompeteney Otbat by the Tact
That They Are Cheap.
There liave been a number of rail
way accident* rewriting from the negli
gence or incompetence of telegraph
operators. Some of these have caused
a lons of life, a* in the recent accident at
Syracuse, and in otliers the damage hits
been confined to property. The Rail
way Telegrapher, which is the official
paper of the Order of Railway Teleg
raphers of North America, prints a sen
sible article on this subject which is
worth calling attention to.
The article dwells upon the great re
sponsibilities rusting upon railroad op
erators, which, it says, are not general
ly understood by tlie pnblie, and asserts
tiuat “employers liave in times past be
come themselves mqjonsiblu for the
low grade of efficiency manifest In this
department—actuated by a desire to
secure services at the lowest possible
expense by employing boys and Inex
perienced men at nominal salaries, re
gardless of any standard of efficiency.”
It says that “unless something shall be
done to prevent the wanton destruction
of human life and private property by
employers tliere can be no question but
that legislation should be adopted com
pelling the employment of only reliable
and competent men, qualified in every
respect to assume the responsibilities of
the service. ”
Describing the Juvenile operator and
the foolish notoriety given to such
youngsters, The Telegrapher says:
“The boy telegrapher, by general
verdict of the public, must give way to
the man. Experience lias clearly dem
enstrated tho fact that it requires some
thing besides a mere knowledge of the
technical formation of the telegraphic
ilptt&bct and tho ability to transcribe
a transmitted message from the tele
graph that emergencies frequently
arise requiring the exercise of a matured
Judgment and an active mind in order
to avert the loss of life and property,
and that tho boy telegrapher is not
possessed of these necessary qualifica
tions.
“In a recent accident caused by the
boy telegrapher ‘losing hiu heal,’ to
use a common expression, resulting in
the loss of life and great destruction,
the evidence at the coroner’s inquest
established the fact that the boy, not
seventeen years of age, received a com
pensation of 890 per month. No rea
sonable person would expect that any
degree of competency could be pur
chased for such a price. The same
rule holds in the employment of labor
as in tho purchase of merchandise —to
procure a good article you must pay a
good price. Cheap prices procure
shoddy goods.”
It is idle to suppose, says The Teleg
rapher, that competent operators can
be secured for S3O a month, and the
only remedy for such incompetency is
to pay salaries that will command men
and not boys.
Hlg Displays.
Ono of tho weaknesses of human na
ture, of which tho wily business man is
not slow to take advantage, is the in
ability to look witli indifference on
goods that aro displayed in extroardi
nary abundance. Tliere seems to be
something so attractive about a dis
play of this kind that mankind cannot
resist it. For instance, a Main street
druggist has ono of his show windows
filled witli licorice sticks scattered about
in careless profusion. Now, ordinarily,
licorice is a very common place article
in tlie estimation of a person who has
got beyond tho ago when candy of any
kind is hailed with delight. But the
sight of such a profusion as is seen in
the show window referred to is not to
be withstood, and tlie very noticeable
result Is a rapid sale oitf'io black sweets.

A Gas Valve Indicator.
A Londoner has invented a gas valve
indicator which can bo attached to the
front of a meter to show the exact cost
of the gas consumed. It consists of a
cardboard dial with a pointer, round
the edge of which are figures represent
ing hundreds of cubic feet of gas.
Against each figure is given tho equi va
lent cost at a stated price per thousand,
so that if tho current price should vary,
as it constantly does, the dial would
have to be replaced by a new one.
The pointer receives its motion from
tlie ordinary indicator of tlie meter,
and each completed thousand is marked
by another pointer on a second dial
which rests centrally within tho major
one.—New York Journal

“Why, did you never drink anything,
Augustus?” he asked.
“Never!” he answered firmly, but
absent mindedly, and then, saying
“Hero’s to you!” ho thoughtlessly blew
off what under other circumstances, or
if he had been a drinking man, might
have been the froth.—Pittsburg Chron

CONQUERING AN OBSTACLE.
Bow Om Boy Who Wu Small Succeeded
In Life In Spile of lIU Defect.
Tom Pippet was always a little fel
low ; so small that when he was in the
senior class in college the smallest boy
in the preparatory school “looked
down” upon him in a literal sense.
Every boy who has himself a physical
defect can understand how mighty a
matter this lack of size had seemed to
Tom. For some years of his life it was
to him the most important thing in the
world. Tliere wfero such great deeds
to be done, and he felt that he could
do tliem, only—he stood but five feet
In his boots!
It was hopeless to try to be a hero!
His name, too, was unfortunate. The
boys changed it to Poppet, to Pipes, to
Ifipkin, to I’intu it wax easy to bo witty
at tlie expense ot the little "fellow.
Ono day an old professor, seeing him
shrink at some gibe, said to him: “Tom,
there is a something within you with
which your little body has nothing to
do. Show that to the world. Ignore
and disregard your size and you will
teach others to ignore and disregard it. ”
This kindly word was the pebble
which turned the stream of Tom’s life
into a new channel. Ho had thus far
failed from very despair to try to make
something of himself; he now began to
study vigorously. He was a born ora
tor and his voice was fine. The class
soon began to b« proud of him and to
boast of his size as another reason for
their approval of him. When his small
figure appeared upon the platform on
commencement day, the storm of ap
proval which greeted him was due as
much to itis triumph over this physical
defect as to tho actual work which he
had done. .
At the bar in the town in which Tom
practised as a lawyer he was known os
“Little Webster,” so accurate was his
knowledge and so effective his elo
quence.
The civil war began, and Tom, with
thousands of other sincere men north
and south, rushed to the battlefield.
His men followed their little captain as
confidently as though he had been
seven feet high. He was badly wound
ed at Chancellorsville and sent to a
hospital, whence lio was discharged mi
nus a part of two limbs. He had been
engaged to a woman whom ho had
loved for years.
“Tell her that she is free,” he said to
her father, who came to see him, add
ing, with a sad smile, “There never
was much of me, but now I am only
the wreck of a man.”
She wrote back, “If there is enough
body left to hold his soul I will marry
him.”
They were married, and Tom became
a useful citizen in the community in
which he lived, lie acquired influence
and property, and used both to noble
purpose. When the great disaster at
Johnstown occurred, he hastened to
the place and worked among the home
less, starving people, surrounded by
thousands of unburied dead. Ho weut
homo worn out by labor, and died,
strong, bright, cheery to the last.
Is there nothing in this true story of
a true life to help those who have some
bodily defect which seems a liopelss
obstacle in their path?—Youth’s Com
panion.
A Feat In Conjuring.
The most remarkable conjuring trick
I ever saw was done in Calcutta by an
Arabian. Spreading a white cloth on
the floor ho sat down with his back to
the wall, and, turning to a member of
tho party, he asked for the loan of a
rupee, which ho requested should be
given to one of the ladies present. This
done, the conjurer told the lady to liand
it back to tho gentleman from whom
she had taken it The gentleman took
it, and then the conjurer said to him,
“Are you sure that it is a rupee?”
“Yes,” replied the gentleman.
“Now close your hand upon it,” said
the Arabian, “and think without speak
ing of some country in America. Now
open your hand and tell mo if the coin
is not one of the country you thought
of.” The gentleman opened his hand
and found a Mexican dollar. He said
that he had been thinking of Mexico.
He was about to give the coin to the
conjurer when the latter declined it,
requesting liimto give it to another one
of the party. He gave it to me. I
looked nt it closely, shut my hand
tight, thought of France, and found it
had turned into a five franc piece.
“How do you suppose that was
done?”
“I really can’t tell,” was the reply.
“I wish I knew.”—lnterview in New
York Times.
A Hoad Scarifier.
There is ! i use in London a machine
known ns the macadam scarifier,
which possesses great advantage over
hand labor in the breaking up of roads.
It is operated by a small traction en
gine and will do “from 2,000 to 2,500
superficial yards of road in a day, the
depth of the work being entirely under
control and varying as desired from one
and one-half inches to three inches. It
also enjoys the ad vantage of being able
to be operated at night, when traffic
does not interfere with work of this
character, a thing practically impossible
with ordinary labor. Philadelphia
