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, COPELAND-TURNER MERCANTILE CO., Phone 25 McDonough, Ga. “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. Hampton Happenings. (By G. S. D. MaLaier.) Dr. and Mrs. T. W.
