Sulphur Expelled The Rats
The following was handed to us
by Mr. H. M, Spinks, of Greens
boro :
“Here is a Maine farmer’s mode
of ridding liis premises of rats and j
mice : If you sprinkle sulphur on j
your floor and through your corn
as you gather it there will not be a
mouse or rat to bother. I have
done this for years and have never
been bothered with rats or mice.
I have some old corn in my crib at
present and not a rat or mouse can
be found. In stacking liay or oats
sprinkle and ground a little
through each load and my word
for it, rats or mice can't< stay there.
A pound of sulphur will be suffici
ent tc preserve a large barn of
corn, and is good for stock and will
not hurt the corn or bread.”
No matter how long you have suffered
Foley’s Kidney Remedy will help you
Mrs. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, AY. Ya.,
writes: “I have suffered from kidney dis- j
eases, so at times I could not get out of
bed, and when I did I could not stand
straight. I took Foley’s Kidney Remedy.
One dollar bottle and part of the second
cured me entirely.” It will cure you,

Pension Laws Unchanged.
A great disappointment was in
flicted upon many of Georgia’s old
soldiers by the failure of the re
cent legislature to pass the bill put
ting in foreo the constitutional
amendment which provides for a
more liberal pension system. Un
der the provisions of the bill, which
was tabled just before the close of
the session, pensions are granted
to old Confederate soldiers and the
widows of soldiers married prior
to 1870, not worth $1,5C0, The
bill passed the house of represen
tative by a vote of 129 to 7, and it
is generally believed that it would
have bad no serious opposition in
the Senate had it come to a yote.
Hon. J W. Lindsey, the state
commissioner of pensions, Ims
sent out letters to the ordinaries
of Georgia advising them of the
status of legislation affecting
pension laws. He states that the
bill providing a fee of $1 for each
pensioner to be allowed the ordi
nary was passed. The fees for the
indigent pensioners are to be paid
out of the county pauper fund,
and those for other pensioners
are to be paid out of the pensions.
He advises further that all who
desire to apply for a pension must
make and file their applications
before October 1 next.
“A Newspaper which stands for
good government, decency, moral
ity and God, is a blessing to any
community. Our weekly papers
are frequently not appreciated as
they should be. People do not
take time to think just how much
a good newspaper does for a com
munity. It prints many things
free of charge that it would be
legitimate to change for and many
times takes the lead for the mater
ial, intellectual and moral growth
of a community. Any people
should be thankful who have a
clean newspaper published in their
community.”—Rev. George O.
Stone.

Crops Are Poor in Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. E. II Farris, who
have been on an extendi d visit to
Texas, returned homo last Satur
day.
Mr. Farris says that the reports
of the crops in Texas have not
been exaggerated in the least. He
says that the cotton crop is al
most a failure throughout the sec
tion he passed and that the corn
and other crops are almost, as
complete a failure us the cotton
crop.
The drouth had lasted for weeks
before he went out there, hut
while he was there some rain hail
fallen which had improved the
conditions in some respects, but
that only a partial crop can he ex
pected.
Dr. Thompson To Leave
McDonough
It is with sincere regret to every
one in McDonough and Henry
county who know Dr. R B Thomp
son, to know that he lias consum
mated plans by which he will leave
McDonough in a few days for
other fields.
Dr. Thompson has been in Mc-
Donough since he entered his pro
fessional career as a dental sur
geon and his has been a most hap
py and satisfactory career here.
Personallv he has won the estrem
and confidence of everyone with
whom he has been thrown by bis
upright anil energetic traits of
character, and in his professional
work by his uniform courtesy anil
splendid work he has won the com
mendation of everyone with whom
he has had dealings.
While the people of McDonough
regret to loose this splendid young
man as a citizen and colaborer
yet they congratulate Jackson
upon securing him as a citizen and
the Weekly bespeaks for him
much success in his new field in
his chosen profession.

Pellagra Claims Lady of
Luella
Mrs. C. L. (’riddle, who resided
near Luella, died i t her home last
Saturday from Pellagra, the new
disease that is caused from eating
corn bread made from damaged
corn. She had an attack about
Seven years ago, and partially re
covered, ano the attack that prov
ed tatal was the third one she had.
She was about 35 years old and
is survived by her husband and
three oliildren.
The funeral and interment was
held at the family burying ground
near Lnlla Sunday afternoon, Dr.
N. B. Drowory, of Griffin, officiat
ing.
Mr. Will Patterson’s
House Burns
Mr. Will Patterson s home near
Oakland School house was burned
Sunday afternoon about 2:30
o’clock.
The family had started to Sun
day School at Oakland and when a
short distance from their home dis
covered it was on lire, and by the
time they could get.back to it, the
house was completely enveloped
in flames and ready to fall in.
Everything was burned in their
home. The origin of the fire is
unknown but it is supposed to have
originated from a defective stove
flue. Mr. Patterson has the sym
pathy ot his many friends, and
liberal donations have been made
to them.
Some “Home Raised”
Things
Mr. .John F. Moss, who resides
three miles northestof McDonough
was in the city Monday with a
load of home raised flour and meal
which was drawn by a home raised
mule.
Col. J. F. Wall, who is very fond
of corn meal, but who is afraid of
the “bought meal” because of the
diseased germ of Pellagra, bought
two bushels and has been eating
corn broad with a vim this week.
Mr. Moss says that he has some
sorghum cane that is 15 feet high.
This is the kind of farming fhufc
keeps prosperity at home. And
too Mr. Moss has but one arm, yet
he makes all his farm supplies at
home.
To Kill Flies.
T’nc London “Lancet,” the lead
ing medical journal of the world,
says that the best and simplest
fly-killer is a weak solution of
formaldehyde in waiter (two tea
spoonfuls to the pint). Place in
plates or saucers throughout the
house. Ten cents wortli of for
maldehyde will last an ordinary
family all summer. It has no of
fensive smell, is fatal to disease
organisms, and is practically non
poisonons except to insects.
Pyrethrum powder, which may
be bought at any drug store,
burned in the house w ill also kill
flies.
The series of baseball games
played at McDonough last Thurs
day, FAiilay and Saturday between
the Jonesboro and McDonogli team
turned out to be a triumph for Mc-
Donough, that club having won
two of the three games. Jones
boro was crippled, but dug deeply
down into its pockets and found a
pitcher who won the only game
the home boys got—3 to 2. That
was on Friday. They played again
on Saturday, but —didn’t win.—
