The Henry County Weekly J. A. FOUCHE. Editor. Entered at the pow toff Ice at McDon ough, Ga., as second-class mail matter. i Advertisintf Rates furnished on appli cation. Official Organ of Henry County. M’DONOUGH, GA., Jan. 28, 1916 When a man of opposite views finally agrees with you, you have succeeded in either convincing or tiring him. “Unmarried Englishmen don’t want to fight.” Naturally. That’s why they are unmarried English men. smm .. - • Some munition manufactuers are for any form of prepardness for which they obtain the con tracts. A woman never boasts that she is self-made; but one is rather proud that she is tailor-made, says an exchange. There isn’t much hope for the boy that goes out in the morning with his face clean and comes home with it clean. At last the year now ended, may claim to have been strictly neutral. It did not start anything and did not finish anything. If a fountain pen as a gift will en tice a boy to improve his penman ship, what will cause him to love the multiplication table? Another thing, these aborevi ated skirts show that th re are lots of girls who would “look stunning” in bathing suits. The surviving old-fashioned man is the one who has a chicken coop in his back yard instead of a garage.—Eastman Times-Jour nal. A month-old baby can’t talk but it must smile to itself at the unin telligible slush mother and it’s aunts and their female friends fire at it. A woman may worry her life away about the actions of her neighbors without learning that they are doing the same thing about her. j —■ Now that horse meat is becom a dainty in New York city, it is time for the knocker to get meas ured for a pepper box palace on sth avenue. Peace having failed to come by Christmas the expedition might try to effect it on Valentine’s day, when a good deal of affection is spread around. Any old girl is pretty when all dolled up —the test of her sweet ness and beauty is how she looks in a gingham dress about the house—and don’t forget that that’s the way you have got to take her most of the time after the wedding. The fact that the ten-year-old future emperor of Japan is al ready engaged to be married, presents a striking contrast with American customs. In this coun try a boy is never engaged to be married until he enters the high school and has learned to smoke a cigarette.—Macon News. I “The lie!! of It.” In a page advertisement in Sun day’s Atlanta Journal, a Chatta nooga liquor dealer says: “To my good friends of the dear old South: As 1 sit before my open grate fire and pen you these lines there comes over me A ft»»» '»»'• rtf* J rt t' a ] , /"» £ a lUciiuwiiCoa cUilj a itCiuiftntod ui warm friendship when I think of the faith and confidence you have put in me as shown by the in crease of patronage this last year.” And the hell of it is, some of those who gave him the increase of patronage this last year haven’t even got an “open grate fire” to sit by this year. —Hartwell Sun. This would be a happy world if we could only believe everything we say. High prices for guano have put dealers in a quandary what to do, and so far the demand is an un certain problem. * The outlook is for a lively race for representative in Butts coun ty. with Col. Threatt Moore, Mr. Jim Mills and lion. Clem Towles in the field. Our neighbor, Jonesboro, is congratulated uoon the organiza tion of a $30,000 knitting mill, to be put in operation as soon as the work can be finished. Speaking of preparedness, bach elors should get busy. It is said that if she proposes this year and he refuses, she has a right to shoot him on the spot. Judge Reagan is right. Too many primaries are an unneces sary expense and all elections possible should be consolidated. — Butts County Progress-Argus. Congressman J. W. Wise is at home today for the first time since congress convened. Every interest of the people of his dis trict is receiving his personal at tention. He has already succeed ed in getting the rural routes re established and the long routes discontinued. Service in the ru ral districts is of most importance at this time and he is using every effort to make better this service. He will be a candidate to succeed himself. —Fayetteville News. And if anybody doubts that he will succeed himself we have yet to hear from them. There is just as much honor in laying off a straight row, building a pig-pen or pruning a tree as there is in Peing an attorney for a large corporation, justice of the peace or a representativ e to the legislature. It is the way we do our duty that reflects honor or discredits us, rather than the dutv we perform. The man with great responsibility must make great effort to meet it. He must do his work well. The man on the farm who can do farm work well is do ing his duty well pud he deserves respect and honor for it. —Ex. For Sale Will sell at my house on the first Tuesday in February next, most of my household furniture. Also one Chicago Cottage Organ almost newq one Jewel Range Stove almost new. Also one Oil Stove.

The form that lift, today beneath the sod Shall rise what-time the golden bugles blow, And pour their music through th courts of God.” On Wednesday night of Jan. sth the deHth-angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Lee of Stock brutge, (. a.. tind took from amongst us our dearly beloved one. Mr. N. J. Carroll. It was so sad to give him up, but we know that the all knowing God knows best, tind that he was taken for some good purpose. • He had been in bad health for a number of years, for the past year being unable to leave his room. His children were his constant companions during his long illness, and they devoted to him their ten d'*rest- care. He was always cheer ful and liked to joke, and whenev er his friends came in to see him, lie always met them with a smile on his face. Although his nerves being so racked at times that bis friends were denied the privilege of seeing him, he would always ex press a great desire to see them, but knowing his condition he would say, ‘ I can't.” He had been a member of the Primitive Baptist Church for forty years; was a faithful member, a good citizen, and a kind and lov ing father, and his memory will live in the hearts of nis many friends he left. He was 73 years of age. and a soldier of the civil war. belonging to Company f\ 22d Ga. Regiment, not from the love of war, but from patriotic sense of duty to liis be loved Southland. The funeral services were held at Stockridge Methodist church by Rev. Gus Elliott and Rev. John Hendon. The remains were car ried to Burke county for burial. He is survived by seven children, six daughters and one son, Mrs. J. C. Lee. Mrs. J. S. Gilbert, Mrs. R. E. Lee and Mr. L. J. Carroll, all of Henry county, and Mrs. .]. M. Ber ry. Mrs. W. A. Stephens and Mrs. G. W. Brown of Clayton county, twenty grand children, two great grand children, and one brother, Mr. Seth Carroll of Clayton coun ty. A Grand Daughter.
