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, Sold by.

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. McDonough, Georgia, Friday august 27,1909.

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.

PAGES 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.
