Weakness of itself is not a disease,
and yet, it is an ailment that is most
distressing. We admire strength but
we pity weakness. Weakness is the
etTect of disease. It is the last weap
on of the grim monster before he lays
his victim in the grave. Weakness,
like pain, is a warning that the system
is out of order, that the machinery of
life is being tampered with and does
not run smoothly. Weakness means
the blood is impoverished, the diges
tion is poor, the appetite is gone, the
system is clogged and the various func
tions of the body are disored. Nature
is calling for aid. Obey the call. As

Full Proceedings or the Organization
of the New Execution Committee.
McDo.noi cm, (la. June 7th, 1892
1 lie Democratic Executive Committee
of Henry county met to day pursuaut
to call, and organized as follows: On
motion, Capt. S R. Brown was made
Chairman, and D. J. Grertt was nomi
nated and elected Secretary. The
committee being ready for business, the
first thing that engaged their attention
was the electing of a member from this
couuty of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the 6th Congressional Dis.
trict, the State having been redisti ict
ed. and this county having been trans
ferred from the sth to said 6th Con
gressional District. On motion, G. W.
Bryan was elected as such member.
On motiou it was agreed that a pri
mary election be held in the several
Districts of this county on Saturday,
the 30th day of July next, to nominate
a Democratic Candidate for election to
the Douse of Representatives, the votes
to be consolidated in McDonough on
Tuesday thereafter, the 2nd day of
August. Said primary electiou shall
be held and conducted, as elections are
usually held and conducted for mem
hers of the Legislature, and under the
same rules. The qualifications of elec
tors shall be the same as those of elec
tors for members of the Legislature,
and governed specially by the same
rules governing Democratic primaries
heretofore in this county. It was fur
ther moved and agreed that a Demo
cratic mass meeting be called for the
first Tuesday in August next to select
delegates to the Gubernatorial Conven
tion. There being no further business
on hand the committee was adjourned,
subject to the call of the chairman.
D. J. Grk.k.n, S. R. Brown,
Secretary. Chairman.
A Worthy Man.
Mr. John Moss, although he has but
one arm, is one of the best and most
independent farmers in Henry county.
By industry and economy he has gath
ered around him a comfortable compe
tency, besides having some of the prod
ucts of his farm to sell. This year he
has sold nearly a hundred bushels of
corn, and still has a little “surplus”
left, which he is holding “to see how
things ate going to turn out.” Other
tliiugs have been sold too. Whenev
er necessary he cuts all of his own stove
wood, and does as much general work
about the farm as a lot of men with
two good arms.
In short John Moss, the genial, clev
er one-arm man, is one of Henry
county’s very best citizens, who de
serves credit for what he has done and
is doing in life. If his superior can be
found in any other couuty we would
like to hear from it.
Festival.
Lst everybody attend the festival at
the Browri house this (Friday) evening,
at 8 o’clock. Remember it is for the
benefit of the Ladies’ Cemeterv Socie
ty, and you will be aiding a good cause.
The ladies should receive a glad en
courageraent in their work of love, for
people well know with what commend
able devotion their labors have been
given to an object which otherwise
would have beeu neglected, to the ut
ter shame of McDonough. That the
care and preservation of our cemetery
should be left to a few nothing
less than ashumeful acknowledgement —
and now that an opportunity is exten
ded to aid them a little, surely no one
will withhold it.
An evening of pleasure is promised
those who attend.
Let everybody be there.

On Wednesday afternoon last, at the

future.

Uoorgla’s Talented Artist.
A friend who has known her, inti
mately, for a number of years gives the
following interesting sketch of one ol
our best kuowu Georgia Artists :
“Mrs. Gregory stands easily at the
head of the list of “Our Soothers Ar
tists,” and is a woman of wonderful
euergy and natural tulent, with a high
degree of culture both in literature and
art. She studied several years in the
Academy of Arts, Philadelphia, where
she still holds a life membership. She
also worked in the Cooper Institute,
New York, for a long time, aud has
had fine training under several noted
European artists.
Among her nest known pictures are
those portraits of Hon. Ben Hill, Judge
James Jackson, Henry Grady and
Mrs. Maiy Biyan, the authoress. The
legislature of Georgia paid her the
high honor of appointing her to paint
the full length “Heroic Portraits” of
Hon. Alex Stephens and Gov. Herschel
V. Johnson. These pictures adorn the
walls of the new capital in Atlanta,
Ga.
She has just finished a great work,
(uuother order from the legislature of
Georgia) tho renovating and retouch
ing of all the old State portraits from
the old capitol—some seventeen in
number—many brought over from
Milledgeville. These she has restored
to all their original freshness and beau
ty, and they also hang in the new capi
tol.
Mrs. Gregory was horn in Apalachi
cola, Fla. Her original name wai Ma
ry Bland Rogers. Iler father, Mr,
Charles Rogers, was a prominent cot
merchant, and for many years carried
on a banking business in Columbus,
Ga , where he was long and favorably
known, before moving to Marietta,
Ga.
Her parental ancestors were digtin
guished revolutionary heroes, among
them the celebrated Platt family of
Duchess county, New York. Zepher
uiah Platt was the first Senator elected
by the Slate of New York to the first
Congress of the United States. Rich
ard Platt wus Aid de Camp to general
Montgomery at the fall of Quebec.
On her mother's side she belongs to
the illustrious Virginia families of
Spottswoods and Blands, and is closely
connected with, that celebrated artist
Rembert Peel.
Mrs. Gregory was married at an
early age to Dr. John R Gregory, a
well known druggist of Tallahassee,
Fla., now of Atlanta, Ga.
