lima inber Your Subscription.
By leieriiig to our books we find a
large number of our subscribers iu ar
rears ;s< me for oue year ; some for
two years.
Reader, if you are iu either of these
classes, don’t forget us. It requires
money to run a newspaper as it does
every other business. It is true these
isolated amounts are small, but when
aggrerated they make a large amouut
to us. Don’t wait for us to call on
you in person, but when iu the city
call and settle your subscription and
renew. Don’t think because your in
dividual amouut is small, that it wil;
not help us, if paid, for it will.
New Schedules.
i hi E. T. V. it G. and Ga. Midland
roads have perfected arrangement by
which through passenger traius are now
run from Atlanta, via Columbus, to
Albany, the through coaches of the
Ga. .Midland having been discontinued
over ti e Central,
Scindules of this new train are as
follows: Leave Atlanta 7:10 a.m.,
arrive a McDonough 8:20, Griffin 9:00,
Columbus 11:63. Returning, leave
Columbus 3:10 p. m., arrive at Griffin
G:ls, McDonough 7:00, Atlanta 8:00.
Next Sunday the East Tennessee
well put on through vestibules, to pass
McDonough about 1 o’clock at night,
going north, and 3 o’clock, at night, go
iug south, the other traius remaning at
at present.
By this arrangement the Ga. Mid
land obtains good Florida connections
oue way, and northern connections the
other, which will doubtless increase
travel over this excellent new route.
Gone to Florida.
A large party from this county,
composed of the following named gen
tlemen, and their families, left lasi
Tuesday evening for Polk county,
Florida, where they intend making
their home in the future : Messrs. T.
L. Russell, H. F. Elliott, Howard,
John and Charles Culpepper and
Joseph Thompson,
We dislike very much to lose from
our midst such good citizens as they,
bat join their numerous friends and
acquaintances in wishing for them i
full realization of all their bright an
ticipations, and that they may find as
many true friends and as pleasant en
vironments in the Land of Flowers as
they leave behind them in old Henry.
Fine Work.
The Weekly is under obligations
to Mr J. 1. Smith for an intricate job
of reparing on our large power press
this week, ft was that of mending a
spiral steel spring,which has heretofore
been thought could only be replaced
by a new one from the factory. Bus
with the splendid ingenuity of Mr.
Smith it was made as good as new in
“less tbau no time,” without the least
trouble. Verily, John Smith is a good
one—a complete master of his art.
Nearly a Fire.
McDonough narrowly escaped from
a serious fire last week. The drug
store of Dr. C. D. McDonald, about
the middle of the block on the south
side of the public square, was set on
fire between the roof and ceiling by a
defective stove flue. The dame was
discovered before it had made much
head, and owing to the prompt action
of those who first made the discover)
it was soon extinguished. In tearing
up the roof so as to get at the fire Mr.
Will Harper received a severe cut on
the hand, from a piece of tin.
Died of Dropsy.
Mr. Leonidas Carter departed this
life last week at his home in Sand)
Ridge district, after a lingering and
painful illness. His death resulted
from dropsy.
His remains were laid to rest in tin
family burying ground. He was foi
many years a devout member of the
M. E. church, aud died the death of a
Christian.

A Bad Cold
]f uot speedily relieved, may lead to serious
Issues. Where there is difficulty ot breath

“About a year ago I took the worst cold
that ever a man had, followed by a terrible
cough. Tho best medical aid was of no
avail. At last I began to spit blood, when
it was supposed to bo all over with me.
Every romedy failed, till a neighbor recom
mended Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I took
half a teaspoonful of this medicine, three
times a day, regularly, and very soon
began to improve. My cough left me, my
sleep was undisturbed, my appetite re
turned, my emaciated limbs gained flesh and
strength and, to-day, thanks to the Pectoral,
lam a well man.”—ll. A. Bean, 28 Winter
