McDonough is to have still another
large new brick store. Mr. J. B.

will convert the two into one large
brick building. When completed this
will make a solid b> , k front on the
south side of public tquare, with the
exception of the old corner building
now occupied by Mr. Maxwell, and
we learn there is probability that this
will also be replaced with a handsome
brick structure before a great while.
Watch McDonough grow!
The defeat of bonds next Wednes
day does not mean that Henry county
will have no new courthouse. In a
conversation a few days ago with Mr.
W. W. Ward, of Stockbridge, a mem
ber of the building committee, he
outlined to us an excellent plan he
will submit, and which be hag every
reason to believe will be adopted. As
stated, tbe plan is an excellent one.

come as near giving general satisfac
tion as possibly could be done. The com
mittee realizes the responsibility of
their authority to act, and The Week
ly will have more to say about the
matter at the proper time.

A Good Man’s Death.
Mr. Jesse J. Johnson died last Fri
day night, March 6 b, 1896, between
tha hours of twelve and cue o’clock, at
his hotne in this city. Mr. Johnson
was 54 years of age and had not been
in good health for a number of years.
He was by no means an invalid all this
time, but for the past two mouths had
not been able to leave his room. About
live weeks ago he became (juice ill and
hi- 1 life wns despaired of, but under the
skillful treatment of Dr. Tucker and
the devoted attention of his wife and
children, he rallied to some exteut.
Mr. Johnson, though apparently quite
strong, was gradually sinking, and ou
last Sunday morning before his death
dangerous symptoms became so ap
parent that his death was daily antic
ipated. Friday morning all hopes
ol recovery were abandoned and the
end. which came peacefully and quiet
Iv as a babe falling asleep, was awaited
by loving relativi s and friends around
his bedside.
A gentle, pure Christian, with his
mind for years fixed upon the faith by
which he lived, Mr. Johnson met dis
solution with a hippy resignation,
apparently realizing that th >
change was for the better. S nee
childhood he has been a faithful mem
ber of the Methodist church, and Sun
day school work. Uuti l his health
failed him, he was librarian and treas
urer in the Sunday school.
lu addition to Mr Johnson’s general
usefulness as a citizen, he was always
especially kind and attentive to the
sick and afflicted, and he will bemused
in this respect perhaps more than any
other one man.
The beautiful and impressive funeral
service was held in the Methodist
church, where lie loved so ruuch to go,
at half past ten o’clock on Sunday
morning, conducted bv li-v. J. A
Thurman, af er which the rmj int
were laid to rest in the McD oiough
cemetery.
Mr. Johnson leaves a devoted fam
ily, a wife aid seven children, to
mourn his loss. May Cod who tern
pers the wind to the shorn lamb,
watch over a d keep the willow and
fatherless.

Maxims For Advertisers.
An advertisement doesn't knock off
work when the store is closed.
Persisteut advertising is the corner
stone of success.
No advertisements are had, hut some
advertisements are better titan others.
When a wise woman has money to
spend she coubuUs the advertising
columns of the newspapers and after
wards consults her husband.
Advertising is plaster which mer
chants put on the world to draw busi
ness out of it.
Advertising is the best fertilizer for
the soil of busiuess.—Fame.
An advertisement is the only per
petual motion yet discovered.
A lazy business mau need never ex
pect to get arty rest by advertising for
it.
Advertisements are like birds it
isn’t always those that have the finest
feathers that are the best singers.
