LIQUID SMOKE.
Many many people are killing their meats preparing for another year. Why not
look to the saving of the meat after it has taken salt. So many people lose their meat
on account of the flies, skippers, bugs and other insects.
Our new process, in what is known as Liquid Smoke or meat preservar, eliminates
this trouble, keeps the meat clean and free from all insects, even during the hot sum
mer time when flies are at their worst.
This Liquid Smoke or Preservar has as its basis hickory and Sassafrass, it keeps the
meat from shrinking so and makes its have a delightful flavor. Preservar has been
approved by the United States Food Inspectors, and we are glad to recommend it to
our customers and friends. After the meat has been in salt the usual time take it
out clean off the salt and apply the Preservar with a small brush, it is easily applied.
Let us show it to you.
We wish for one and all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Very truly,

“A NO. 1” VISITS
THE WEEKLY.
The World's Most Famous
Tramp Passes Through
McDonough.
Appearing in McDonough un
herald from a direction known
only to himself, to depart whither
he alone knows, a ditinguished
visitor reached McDonough Tues
night and spent Wednesday here.
He made The Weekly a pleasant
call and we enjoyed his entertain
ing conversation.
“A No. 1”, for he gives no other
name, has been on the road since
1883 and has traveled 494,000
miles, spending only $7.61 for
railroad fare.
He has been around the world
three times. He is a linguist,
speaks and writes four languages.
He has prevented more than
twenty wrecks, wears a S4O suit
of clothes and a gold watch, keeps
his name a secret, does not chew,
smoke, drink or gamble.
This gentleman tramp carries
overalls, which he dons when
riding the bumpers and rods. He
also carries complete toilet in his
pocket sufficient to make his ap
pearance neat when he leaves the
road.
He also has a very interesting
memorandum book full of cards
and letters given him by railroad
officials in every part of the
country.
“A No. 1” is a slave of habit.
He is a thinker, though, and rea
lizes that there is a “tramp prob
lem.” Knowing also the hard
ships and lack of purpose in the
tramp’s life, he is seeking to solve
the problem. To this end he is
seeking to keep young boys off
the road.
This man makes his transient
expenses by the sale of two book
lets, the first being “Life and Ad
ventures of A No. 1”, tells of his
travels among tramps all over the
world. The second “Hobo Camp
Fire Tales,” is a true story of the
hardships on the road. Both
show the dark side of tramp life
so that any restless boy will get
a good idea of its disgusting fea
tures. They can be purchased in
any bookstore for 25 cents and
are worth every cent of it in keep
ing boys at home.
As he tramped about our
muddy streets, he observed that
McDonough would probably have
paved streets before he came this
way again. It has been twenty
five years since he passed this
way and he says that it is now al
most a different town so many are
the improvements.
