HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY.
J. A. FOL'CHE, Editor
Kntered at the post-office in McDonough,
Ga., as second class mail matter.
McDonough, Ga., February 5, 1904. j

< >frlesl),v Plucks Nice Juicy IMuiii From
Prison Commission.
Hon. John T. Oglesby was this j
xveek ap]x>inted by the State Prison
Board to the position of Inspector
of the Convict Camps of Georgia,
the appointment carrying with it a j
Handsome salary.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Oglesby held a similar position in
the government service during the
second Cleveland administration,
by which he made quite a national'
reputation in his duties for the In
terior Department in the North
west, and also in Oklahoma. He is
a man of splendid executive ability,
rind The Weekly takes pleasure in
■congratulating both the Commis
sion and Mr. Oglesby upon his ap
pointment to this responsible posi
tion.
Upon returning to McDonough in
1897, Mr. Oglesby became a mem
ber of the McDonough Mercantile
<To., in which he continued until he
was compelled to retire from busi
ness on account of ill health. Mr.
Oglesby still suffers some yet after
undergoing an operation, but we
are glad to note his general health
is very good. His return to public
life will be hailed with pleasure by
many Henry county friends, and
throughout the State.
Mr. Oglesby's head office will be
at the Capitol, in the offices of the
Prison Commission.
I Mood wortli Endorsed.
The Grand Jury of Spalding
county, which adjourned last Fri
<lay, endorsed Hon. O! H. B. Blood
■worth, Solicitor General, as follows :
“We take great pleasure in at
testing to the fidelity and efficiency
•of Hon. O. H. B. Bloodworth. Hr
has made us an energetic and vigi
lant prosecuting officer, fearlessly
discharging his duty and we cheer
fully commend him to our people
for re-election to the office lie now
ably fills.’’
“The newspapers of the Flint
f Circuit are joining with the Grand
Juries in continuing to endorse
Solicitor-General O. H. B. Blood
worth. The mothers and fathers
are for his re-election and the little
children would put him in again in
preference to any body if they had
n chance. All classes believe that
Solicitor Bloodworth will do his
• duty, yet treat every one fairlyand
kindly. That is the kind of officer
Hie people need and the kind they
want.—The Watchman, Milner, Ga.
Than Gold.
“I was troubled for several years
with chronic indigestion and ner
vous debility,” writes F. J. Green,
of Lancaster, N. H. “No remedy
helped me until I began using Elec
tric Bitters, which did me more
good than all the medicines I ever
list'd. They have also kept my wife
in excellent health for years. She
•says Klee trie Bitters are just splen
did for female troubles; that they
•are a grand tonic and invigorator
for weak, run down women. No
other medicine can take its place in
■our family." Try them. Only 50«.
Satisfaction guaranteed by the ('. L.
Tucker Co.
*‘Today an increasing number of
people throughout the world, stand
ing upon the heights, are learning
that God is not tn the ironclads,
nor in the armies, but in the still
small voice of justice that issues
from tribunals like that recently
instituted at The Hague.”—William
Jennings Bryan.
If we are to judge this eai’ly in
the year by the sale of mules and
■commercial fertilizers, the farmers
of this section are planing to plant
more cotton this year than they did
last year. The labor question is
figuring in the plans of the conser
vative planters, however, and the
■acreage in cotton will not be as ex
tensive as it would he if sufficient
reliable labor could be had.
FROM “A. P. K."
Feb. 3rd.
We are all here yet.
Schools are flourishing. Rock
Spring school has nearly 90 and j
Beersheba nearly 50 pupils.
Frank Strawn is engaged with a |
gang grading the streets of Friskey.
Miss Lula Brown of Calhoun has
been visiting the Misses Jeffares
here
Mr. Hartman, a traveling man
from Pennsylvania, stopped over
Saturday till Monday with ’Squire

mill back home.
Mr. and Mrs. Columbus Penn and
■Mr. and Mrs. Joe Andrews of Rock
dale visited relatives here Saturday
and Sunday.
Mr. Sam Aiken of McDonough
passed through here Saturday in
company with Mr. Tom Lununus,
but, when Mr. Lummus learned
that if he dropped Mr. Aiken in
Beersheba, Beersheba ites would
bold him accountable, he forwarded
him on to the Newton county line
at Snapping Shoals. It just won’t
do for the good old State of Beer
sheba to open her gates too wide to
such communities as McDonough.
Ras Dickerson and Will Woods
will soon put their saw mill down
on Mr. Dickerson’s Bennett place to
saw a lot of lumber, where he is
preparing a fine lot of pine logs, one
of which measures (‘>o inches in di
ameter 40 inches above the ground.
Miss Cora Lane, oldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Lane, treated
them to quite a surprise last week
by sending them a letter from
where she was visiting over in New
ton county, stating that she had
just become Mrs. Horton and a
Newton countyite. Cora had been
a dutiful girl and was of age, and
had the right to take the step she
did, hut now A lass she is no more.
As there are no party issues to en
thuse the people, and no candidates,
as yet, in this corner of the political
garden, we would almost forget that
this is election year if we did not go
to town sometimes.
Most farms in this section aro oc
cupied by tenants this year, hut
some of them are not supplied with
sufficient labor for their proper cul
tivation. A. P. 8.
Knit's For Prolonging
The question of a possible exten
sion of human life has recently
had renewed consideration by a
British scientist. In a lecture de
livered before the Royal College of
Physicians, in London, Sir Her
mann Weber, M. D., F. R. C. P.,
propounded certain conclusions
which he had,arrived at as to the
best means for prolonging life. The
main points in his advice were com
promised in these prescriptions :
“Moderation in eating, drinking
and physical indulgence.
“Pure air out of the house and
within.
“The keeping of every organ of
the body, as far as possible, in con
stant working order.
“Regular exercise every day in
all weather ; supplemented in many
eases by breathing movements, and
by walking and climbing tours.
“Going to bed early and rising
early, and restricting the hours of
sleep to six or seven hours.
“Daily baths or ablutions accord
ing to individual conditions, cold
or warm, or warm followed by cold.
“Regular work and mental occu
pation.
“Cultivation of placidity,' cheer
fulness, and hopefulness of mind.
“Employment of the great power
of the mind in controlling passions
and nervous fear.
“Strengthening the will in car
rying out whatever is useful, and
in checking the craving for stimu
ulants, anodynes, and other injuri
ous agencies.”—Harper’s Weekly.
I'harnlirrlain's Stomach ami Liver
Tablets. Unequalled For Consti
pation.
Mr. A. R. Kane, a prominent drug
gist of Baxter Springs, Kansas, says :
“Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver
Tablets are, in my judgment, the
most superior preparation of any
thing in use today for constipation.
They are sure in action with no ten
dency to nauseate or gripe.” For

pointed as a building committee to
take charge of the erection of the
building. Some little matters that
have arisen in regards to the build
ing site is the only thing that is
; checking the progress of the build

Mrs. T. M. Goss, who received a
severe hurt, by accidently falling
from the varanda at the residence
of Mr. J. F. Bowden’s a few months
ago, where she had gone to attend
the Bowden-Upcliurch marriage, is
still suffering very severely. Her
knee and hip were dislocated by the
fall, but owing to the nature of the
injury it was impossible to set the
dislocated limb at that time, and it
remained in that condition until
last Wednesday, when Dr. J. G.
Smith, of McDonough, and Dr.
Colvin, of Locust Grove performed
the operation. The people of our
community deeply sympathize with
her in her sad misfortune.
There is a method, being practic
ed by land owners and farmers gen
erally, throughout this land and;
country that is very detrimental ro j
tin* renting and laboring class of i
people. They either lay in a !
supply of provisions, etc.,' at cash !
prices and issue it out to their crop- J
pers or renters at time prices, or!
else make arrangements with the '
merchants to furnish their hands j
at time prices and cash the bills
themselves at the store, thereby
getting the benefit of the transac
tion at the expense of the laboring
class of people. If he was to furnish ,
the poor fellow the hard cash to !
buy with, he could only get about
10 or 12 per cent on his money, but
by working tliis scheme, he can re
alize anywhere from 12 to 25 per
cent on his money. This is not a
very popular question to touch up
on, but tliis method is being prac
ticed to a great extent, and wh(l
this old world begins to reel and
took, and the terrible, thundering
tones of the great trumpet shall
sound, there is going to be a terri
ble awakening among the wealthy
class of people, right along on this
line. The credit system has been
almost a curse to this country, and
with the wealthy classes taking ad
vantage. it is causing the rich to j
grow richer and the jioor to grow j
poorer. These are cold facts.

HUSTLER.
Well, Mr. Editor, as I have been
absent from the dear old Henry
County Weekly some two months,
1 will give you a few more dots i
from around our little community.
I have been requested by a good
many to write for The Weekly
again, so will make my first pull.
Mr. G. H. Harkness made a busi
ness trip to Griffin last Saturday.
Mr. Boh Sowell stepped out the
other day on a hunt and returned
with two rabbits.
Mr. Roscoe Morris now drives a
fine red horse, so look out, gilds,
for No. 1.
Mr. Joily Sowell and little son,
Walter, made a pleasant visit to
friends and relatives in Poterdale
last Saturday, and returned home
Sunday afternoon.
Mr. E. C. Lester and Mr. W. R.
Morris are now suffering with a
severe attack of love fever.
If this bad weather continues a
few more weeks farmers will be
somewhat late again this year. It
seems there is always something to
grumble about, but if we would be
as ready to do the Lord’s work as
we are to fix our farms it would be
better with us.
I Last Monday's weather stood for
February.
Our little community is not thick
ly settled, but is always quiet and
peaceable—no meanness going on
at all. So lam very well satisfied
j with my new hofue.
Ye scribe and Roscoe Morris say
they will make the regular visit
again next Sunday.
Wonder what has become of Sta
kley Buckalew ? He never even
comes around to see what is on the
south side of the world.
A negro man living on the place
of Mr. Mart Sowell carried some
corn to mill the other day with
rats in it. Perhaps he wanted to
try rat hash and crackling corn
bread.
The cotton patches have been
picked so close this fall they came
very near gathering up the burrs,
on account of the high price.
Watch out for low price cotton
next fall. Why?—because the far
mers will almost plant their gar
dens and yards in cotton this year,
exacting a good price for it next
fall. But they will miss it—see if
they don’t.
Well, dear reader, as news is
scarce and the weather has already
frost-bit my ears, I will close and
come again next week. Youno.
Escaped an Awful Fate.
Mr. H. Hagginsof Melbourne, Fla.
j writes, “My doctor told me I had
i Consumption and nothing could he
done for me. I was given np to die.
The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr.
j King’s New Discovery forConsump
-1 tion. induced me to try it. Results
| were startling. lam now on the
road to recovery. It surely saved
my life.” This great cure is guar

Another t’ase of Rheumatism Cured
by Chamberlain's Pain Halm.
The efficacy of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm in the relief of rheumatism is

failed, and he would not be without
it. For sale by the C. L. Tucker Co
Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but tfle truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cura
relieves all inflammation of the mucous
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a
sense of fullness after eating, indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

WHO CANMOT BE CURED.
So uniformly successful has Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after oyer
a third of a century’s experience in curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
debilitating ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay SSOO in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
It Stands Alone. —The "Favorite Pre
scription ” stands alone, as the one and
only remedy for these distressingly com
mon forms of weakness, possessed of such
positively specific curative properties a 9 to
•warrant its makers in proposing, and
binding themselves to forfeit, as we, the
undersigned proprietors of that wonderful
remedy hereby do, to pay the sum of SSOO
in legal money of the United States in any
case of the above diseases in which after a
fair and reasonable trial of our treatment,
we fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of woman’s peculiar ailments is
backed by such a remarkable guarantee ;
no other medicine for woman’s ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
erties that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer ; no other remedy
has such a record of cures on which to base
such a remarkable offer.
Therefore, insist on having Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription and turn your back
on any unscrupulous dealer who would
insult your intelligence by attempting to
foist upon you some inferior substitute,
under the plea that "it is just as good.”
Insist on having the article which has a
record of a third of a century of cures and
which is backed by those willing to forfeit
SSOO if they cannot cure you.
In cases attended by a leucorrheal drain
a solution of Dr. Pierce’s Lotion Tablets
should be used conjointly with the use of
the "Favorite Prescription.” They are sold
by all druggists, or sent post-paid to any
address, on receipt of 25 cents in stamps.
