The Henry County Weekly VOL. XXXVI 8 LITTLE JOSIE BANKSTON IS CALLED HOME. Bright Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Bankston Yields After Hard Fight. Little Josie Bankston died at an Atlanta Sanitarium Tuesday night at 8:45 o’clock. She had been sick but little more than a week, having been stricken with appendicitis the first of last week. Her par ents quickly carried her to At lanta, where an operation was performed. But the most skilful attention and the most loving ministrations of the fond parents and sympathetic nurses were all in vain. Though but ten years of age, little Josie was one of the town’s favorites of its children and the people of McDonough join the parents and brothers and sisters in mourning. The remains were brought to McDonough Wednesday morning. The Rev. Olin King conducted the funeral at the Methodist church on Thursday morning at 11 o’clock, and the interment was in the McDonough cemetery. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joel Bankston; one sister, Miss Donia Bankston: and three brothers; Mr. Ben Bankston, of East Point, and little Charles and Parker Bankston. Hopewell.

Mr. and Mrs. Claud Wood spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Johnson. Well, Happy Happenings you surely did give the church mem bers a grand talk last week; for that is the way of it these days. The church members wont go to church and it is disheartening for a preacher to go and preach with out any of the members there, in place of the members, saying get ready, children, for we are all go ing to church this morning, but instead of that the members will stay at home and the children will gather together and ramble the creek swamps over, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Duncan visited their parents Sunday af ternoon. Master Wayman Wood spent last Sunday with Masters John, Dock, and Dwight Gilbert. Mrs. Hilyer Starr spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs. C. E. Gilbert. Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Wood spent last Suuday with their daughter, Mrs. Tom Stickland. As news is scarce, I will ring off, for fear it won’t escape that awful waste basket. Twin Twister. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank the many friends who so kindly sympathized with us and assisted us in the death and burial of our daughter, Mrs. Norman, and our brother, Mr. J. T. Bowden. May God’s best blessings al ways be yours. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Bowden. McDONOUGH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10. 1911. MRS. J. W. MAXWELL DIES IN ATLANTA.

Happy Happenings, you are exactly right about people talking too much before children. We should teach them to speak well of everybody and, if they can’t do that, not to speak at all; but we are all too guilty of always being ready to say something against some one else. If we will get self right everybody else will be right. Let’s teach ourselves and children to do that. If we will, we will all get on much better here and in the hereafter. Blue Bells. Sardis.
