possession of the proof—that you made
a remark that reflects on me, and I
feel bound to have satisfaction such as
one gentleman ought to accord another.
I trust, therefore, you will not treat
this demand for the establishment of
the truth of your assertion with any
thing short of the promptitude that an
honorable man would, in duty be con
strained to do. The remark as I
‘understood, was, that you proclaimed

Mrs. Osborn of Dalton is the guest
of her sister, Mrs. B. F. Ogletree, this
week.
Mr. Tom Harper, of Atlauta, has
been visiting among his McDonough
friends this week-
Mr. W. 11. Smith has been quite sick
for sevei al days, bit wa are pleased to
state is some better at this writing.
Mr. 15. B. Carmichael left this week
for Dr. Cowau’s, where he will p'ace
himself under treatment for indiges
tion.
Mr. lierry Hightower and family, of
Empire, visited the family of his broth
er, Mr. W. VY. Hightower, of this
place, the past week.
Mr. J. W. Bledsoe, of near Ola, has
the sympathy of his friends in the death
of one of his little twin babies, which
occurred last Monday.
Col. Frank Flynt, of Griffin, was
this week appointed chief clerk of sur
vey in the general land office of the
interior department at Washington, at
a salary of S2GOO.
Mr. Paul Turner purchased the
McDonough Gin and Mfg. property
last Tuesday, for s2llO, and will put
it in first class repairs for next season.
It can be made a valuable plant, and
Mr. Turner secured a bargain in
it.
There is a large English walnut tree
in the yard of Mr. Ike Whittaker’s
place, now occupied by Mr. .1 J. Smith,
which is “litterally covered” with nuts

same yard will also be bearing in a
year or two.
A reliable party informed us recent
ly that Jerusalem oak, scattered
through a corn crib or about the house,
is a sure remedy for rats, as it causes
them all to leave the premises. It is
simple, and at least worth a trial.
Mr. W. A. Simpson says he intends
to adopt the intensive system of farm
ing next year, as he is satisfied it is the
best method for our lands now. Mr.
Simpson is one of Henry county’s
most successful farmers, and we are
confident will practically demonstrate
the wisdom of his course.
We are requested to announce that
the McDonough Institute commence
mint sermou will be preached Sunday
i week, the 18th inst., and the public is
cordially invited to attend all the exer
cises to follow. A full program will
be published next week, and the en
tire occasion promises to be a most en
joyable one.
We learn that the citizens in and
around Jenkiusburg have entered into
an agreement to sell off building lots
at reasonable prices and long terms to
any good citizen who will settle there,
and sell farms on five years time to
those desiring to become bona fide citi
zens. This is the correct plan upon
which to build up towns, and you may
now look out for Jenkinsburg to come
to the front.
Ilev. W. W. Brinsfield has secured
the services of Rev. E. N. Stanton, the
well known minister who has done
such wonderful work in Atlanta, and
will open the teut meeting in McDon
ough about the third Sunday in July,
definite notice of which will be given
in due season. All the churches are
expected to unite in these services, and
our citizens look forward to the occa
sion with pleasure, as it will doubtless
result in much good. All people will
be warmly welcomed to the meetings.
Newnan Herald: The country edi
tor riseth in the morning and kuoweth
not what tbe day may bring forth. If
he telletb not the news he ruus a great
chance of having a tin elr put ou him,
and if he teileth all the news the peo
ple will say he is n. g.—and there is
no pleasure in it. The crafty man ca
joleth him into giving a fifty cent puff
for a five cent cigar, and fond mothers
frown on him if he fails to flatter their
children ; and all his ways are ways of
woe, and all his days are full of sor
row.
Tne probabilities now are that the
next district meeting of the South At
lanta district, M. E. church, will be
held in McDonough again, embracing
the 4th Sunday in July. At the close
of the services last Suuday Rev. W.
W. Brinsfield read a letter from Pre
siding Elder Pierce, stating that the
conference was without a home, and
asking permission to bring it to Mc-
Donough if necessary. The vote was
unanimous for extending the invitation,
which it is expected will be duly ac
cepted. This is a high compliment to
McDonough’s hospitality, aud our citi
zens are delighted to entertain the con
ference as often as possible.

Mayor Oglesby Honored,
Mayor John T. Oglesby was called
to Forsyth by a telegram from Con
gressman Cabauiss last Tuesday and
tendered a tweuty-fi>ur-liuudrtildollar
position as a chief clerk iu the Indian
service out west. He wired his accep
tance to Washington, for which place
he will leave in a few days to receive
his commission and make oilier ar
rangements to enter upon his duties.
This is a deserved recognition to a
worthy and true Democrat, and while
McDonough regrets to lose Mr.
Oglesby as a citizen, his many friends
throughout the county aft gratified
that he has been provided for by the
administration.
He has uot fully matured his plans
yet, but will do so in a short while.
His term of office will continue at least
four years, but while he will be far
away from home, his citizenship will
remain iu old Henry.

M r. Editor: —l desire to announce
through your paper to the public, that
I have withdrawn my application ask
iug for the appointment of P. M. at
Hampton, Ga. I have uot withdrawn
because I have any doubts about being
appointed, for 1 was assured that, had
I continued an applicant, I would have
received the appointment, but while I
have many good friends in Hampton,
and appreciate past favors, a few of
the citizens have made threats, sayiug
that if I was appointed P. M. they
would do all they could to injure me
in the office which I would fill.
Therefore, I have decided that I did
not care to cast my lot among any peo
ple who had such a prejudiced feeling
toward me. Respectfully,
Mrs. Amanda Rowan.

A Good Negro Gone.
The rain is falling'on big grave to
night, but what of that ? Does it not
fall on all graves alike?
The quiet, humble grave to which
we allude is one iu which George At
kins—a negro—lies in that “sleep that
knows no waking," cut dowu in the
bloom of his manhood.
Taken upon the aggregate George
was aD exceptionally good negro. He
has been a faithful servant, and many
are the useful services he has rendered
during the years of health and strength.
But his services on earth aie now end
ed, and he is restiug t» night in his
newly made grave. lie leaves a wife
and children behind him, who will miss
him far more than they uow expect.
Tbe writer of this notice went over
to see him a few days before he passed
away. I was surprised on that occa
sion at never having before noticed
what a noble forehead he possessed fo r
one of his race. He also possessed
the most luxuriant, coal black whiskers
we ever saw on a negro’s face, which
gave him quite a manly appearance.
At the time of my visit he seemed to
be quite hopeful that he would get
well; but, poor fellow, his fond hope
was without foundation. He has gone
over to the other shore.
Hundreds may glance over this trib
ute to his memory with hut little inter
est in the death aud grave of George
Atkins—an humble negro—still, many
far less useful men have lived.
Sleep «u, thou faithful servant, and
after a little while we will meet at the
gate. W. T. G.

S. H. Clifford, New Caisel, Wig., was

bis Stomach was disored, bis Liver was af

away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh
snd strength. Three bottles of Electric
Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111., had a
running sore on his leg of eight years'
standing. Used three liottles of Electric
Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen’s
Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and
well. John Speaker, Catwaba, 0., had five
large Fevet sores op his leg, doctors said
he was incurable. One bottle Electric
Bitters and one box Buck leu’s Aruica
Salve cured him entirely. Sold by C. D.

Another pall of gloom overspread*
McDonough.
One of the saddest duties which has
ever fallen to the lot of The Weekly
is to chronicle the death of Col. Tinker
Nolan, this mournful event occurring
at five miuutes before four o’clock yes
terday morning, at his home in Me*
Douough.
As is well known by his friends,
Col. Nolan had been in rapidly declin
ing health for several mouths past, but
ou Monday last be suffered a sudden
and violent attack of the disease which
had been preying upou his wasting
system, and it steadily bore him down
until it was apparent to the sorrow
bowed loved ones and frieuds around
his bedside, that the final hour of dis
solution had come.
Surrouudid by all the devotion of a
happy home circle, thus peacefully the
tired spirit winged its flight into the
silent beyoud.
And a bright life has ended ; a heart
broken wile and children are left dis
consolate ; other fond ones overbur
dened with sorrow; and an entire commu
nity inexpressibly saddened—a picture
top depressing to contemplate. We
cau ouly drop the tear of sympathy—
nothing more now.
A fitting tribute to the memory of
Col. Nolan will appear in a subsequent
issue of this paper.
The burial services will occur this
morning at 9:30 o’clock.
