Tlie Henry County Weekly
VOL. XXXIV
To Those Who Owe Us.
There are many who have al
lowed their subscriptions to lapse
far in arrears, and during the past
several weeks statements have
been sent out to those who owe us
but many have failed to respond
to these notices.
Please do not longer delay in
sending the Weekly waht you owe
yours may be but a small amont,
yet when there are several hun
dred of these it makes quite a little
sum to'us, and we have obligations
to meet that necessitates us urging
upon all who owe to settle up at
once what you owe on your sub
scription.
Preachers are assigned.

McDonough, Georgia, Friday November *>, 1909.
itHON StiAflcD SCHOOL,
Tiie public school here opened
with 80 pupils, Miss Ojfhtlu:
Banks is orr assistant, she appears
to know her business.
If the pupils put. in whole term
we can graduate 14 this year. The
following Misses Allie Hopkins,
Lillie Craig, Edna Rodgers, Beulal:
[lessor, Lucy Sowell. Eunice Hop
ins, Roth Craig, Annie Hubbard,
Ralph Culpepper, Rufus Rogers,
Oma Whitaker, Herman Wliitukoi
Glen Rosser.
We desire to make this flic most
profitable year of our work here.
School is graded throughout, all
classes reciting some subjects.
Great economy of time in graded
class work.
We will celebrate Thanksgiving
with appropriate exercises at
Bethany church, Rev. J. F., Bled
soe will preach sermon for us.
We kindly invite all patrons to
attend our Friday exercises, deba
tes, recitations, . declamations,
songs etc.
Rev. J. E. England pastor at
McDonough was with us at open
ing last Monday and said to several
of our patrons in past, “Educati
onal work in this country is above
all other activities in this life but
religion, future usefulness depends
on what work and the Character
of the work done here.
I met two boys and asked them
what they were going to make of
themselves, “one said, going to
make a man,” I said we want men
for we have enough of folks.
A man has three parts, intelle
ctual, moral and physical, these
parts all carefully developed make
a man, but intellect accomplishes
most. A strong body and religion
makes a goqd farmer, and strong
body, intellect, and religion will
make a good teacher of children,
There is nothing of real value in
auto races etc except to make
money for automobile factories.
A well developed physicial form
stands for a pedestal for a tower
ingintellect. Just such games in
school should be allowed as will
contribute to the making of well
developed bodies, and muscles.
Many people raise children to
advertise, derbys, red ribbon, and
buggies and thereby help buggy
factories.
It is a great mistake for people
to turn their girls loose to ride
around over the country in bug
gies not knowing whether they
will return for dinner, supper or
breakfast.
God gives us the material of
which we are to make goodmen
and women and leaves the respon
sibility on us, How are we turning
out the jobs?
It takes father, mother, prea
cher, and teacher to make men,
are we making them? Some fath
ers are utilizing the whole time of
their boys and girls to make money
and a. living, and some folks hav
ing the religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ work their children till
school is nearly half gone and then
the teacher to do as much
for hischildren as any
God pity men w T ho are spending
all they have to make money I
have no place I can call my own
but I expect to love my master
with all my power.”
We desire that all the patrons
visit school on Monday Nov., 29
and hear Dr. Arnold the pastor at
McDonough on his best theme on
education. Let us have a good
crowd then and show- the interest
we are taking in the education of
ourjchildren.
O. W. Johnson.
See us when you come to Mc-
Donough.
