LOCUST GROVE.
Mayor «T. M. Johnson Sara that
while money is a right convenient
thing to have around and very
nice to handle yet. this most, valua
ble things in life, among which
are beauty, intellect and character
can't be bought with money, to
say nothing of the brightness,
- grandeur and snblimi ty to he at
tained on the shore of eternal de
liverence where sickness, sorrow
and death will he felt and feared
no more, none of which can be
measured or approached by a mon
etarv consideration. These things
furnish food for thought.
It really seems to the writer
that if Tennessee could pass state
#wide prohibition and then run it
over the veto of the governor that
Georgia, with the able representa
tion she will have in the n,ext. legis
lature might devise some plan to
curtail the output and consump
tion of the many bottled drinks
which seem to be a nuisance, and
t>o say the least ninety five percent
of our people will agree they do no
permanent good- Then let's think
about how far the money spent in
that, way wonld go towards run
ning the schools, churches and
orphan asvlums
Another thing which might well
receive attention by our law mak
ers is a reform of the marriage
laws of the state by placing a law
or amendments to existing laws on
the statute books which will ef
fectually prohibit the marriage
and intermarriage of weaklings, in
valids and imbeciles, such as are
tinder existing conditions, fre
quently allowed to marry and
thereby leave to society a progeny
which will be a burden to them
selves and to all others for genera
tions to coine. It does seem that
any observer might see the crying
need for something to be done on
this line, for all will readily admit
that no one who is not able phvs
ically or mentally to provide for
themselves nor anyone who is not
qualified to serve in the capacity
of parents should be allowed to
marry.

HERE’S TO THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
Trade at Home and SAVE MONEY During the Year 1909
For many years a lot of the good people of Henry County have been going to Covington, Conyers and Jackson to buy
PLOUGHS, PLOUGH STOCKS, BACK BANDS, HEEL BOLTS, BARB WIRE AND NAILS,
In fact a lot of other Hardware items*that are used on the farm every day. Because they could buy the goods for less money
than they could get them for in McDonough. This business should come to McDonough where it belongs, and we have the
confidence in the people to believe they want to trade at home, for this reason, we are going to make this class of goods one of our
SPECIALTIES from this date on, and will GUARANTEE our prices to be as LOW or LOWER than those of neighboring towns.
All we ask is to let us make you prices—Then you can judge for yourself. Quanity will not bother us. We will take
care of your order, large or small, and will do it in a way that will SAVE YOU MONEY.
We are going after you hard, more business, good and strong for the year 1909.
Low Prices Will Be Our Lyons' Suit.

showed himself to be, by his walk in life,
a Christian gentleman, a true friend, a
loving companion ami a kind father,
whose every walk in life exemplified in
the truest sense that high and noble
search at er Truth, as is taught by this
ancient and honorable institution.

sympathy to the bereaved family and
commend t hem to that Power, who alone
can strengthen the mind amidst grief
and console the heart amidst sorrow.
