mi COITY WEEKLY. by C. M. SPEER & CO. /jruni Omct, 23 f. pncntu St. TM OFFICIAL ONOAN OF MENNV COUNTY. WEEKLY CUMULATION, ICOO. at Ib» Port Office, McDonough, Oeorgli M Keoad alu* mall mattar. o. M. SPEER, Editor. 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, J. A. Fouche. Ilow’s Tills ?

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS [We are in nowise responsible for lliu views expressed tiy our Correspondents. We cannot make any allowance for irreg ularityof mails or tailing to post letters af ter they are written. To obviate this diffi culty, we would suggest, that correspon dents at a distance write Saturday and mail tbeir communications as soon thei after as possible. If a leUer comes in on time and we fail to publish, on account oi want of space, it will lie published the fol lowing wock. Let overy correspondent give us the news in as condensed form as possi ble, otherwise it will be necessary to elimi nate superfluities. Ail communications are riving after Wednesday will be too late for publication. Mont. St. Jean. How will the people manage to give up 181)0, knowiug that they are no better off than at the beginning. Christmas has come and is now about gone. It is a bad day when Messrs. Pomp. Mahone and Jim. Barrett fail to make a success of anything they undertnke. They put more presents on the Christ mas tree at the Chapel than anybody else. We feel fully confident that if Newt Glass is elected Sheriff we will have a better corn crop auother year. It looks a little hard that “all the rest of the boys’’ should just walk into office without any opposition, while our friend Newt, “who is the Noblost Ro man of them all,” has to scuffle for the position he has so creditably filled heretofore. Let everybody go out next Wednesday and cast their vote for him. We are sorry to say that Mr. P. Fields, Sr., and lady, are both ou the sick list this week. Mr. W. P. Avery has made a busi uoss engagement with Mr. Stewart, West Peter Street, Atlanta, Ga., where he will be glad to have his many Hen ry couuty friends call ou him when they are in need of any thing to drink. L)ec. 28th, 1890. Old Guard. 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. —Buffalo Express. 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 Habit Makes the Man. 110 wanted to make a good impres sion on the old man at the church fair. So at the ice water stand he took a cupful of the crystal fluid and re marked: “Ah, that's the stuff, Mr. Jobeon!” “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 icle-Telegram. A Rig liny for Game. First Amateur Sportsman Killed any game? Second Amateur Sportsman—Yaas, lots. Wounded one cow, bagged a gosling and shot one leg off my dog. Pittsburg Bulletin.

You put water on the burning tim be s, not on the smoke. And if you have catarrh yon should attack the dis ease in the blood, not in your no»e.

It also stnngth ens the nerves. Be sure to get only Hood’s Sarsaparilla. SOMETP«¥G RICE FREE, a SeodTjmrwWrwstob.W Wrenn.G* n . Pks.

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.
