The Henry County Weekly J. A. FOUCHE, Editor. Entered at the postoffice at McDon ough, Ga., as second "lass mail matter. Advertising Rates furnished on appli cation. Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough Gu., Sept. 29, 1916 We honestly believe Hugh Dor sey could be prosecuted for violating the speed limit law. —Ex. A man who climbs on a “band wagon” to be popular is only drift wood,” says Senator Ben Tillman. Don’t throw that old suit aside. Have it cleaned, pressed and made new by John Powell. Prices right. Now is the time for all good subscribers to get together and pay their subscription to The Weekly. “We can clean everything ex cept reputations and run-down characters,” states a pressing club advertisement. If you want to go to heaven, brother, just hitch ud a mule and a politician and start in opposite direction. —Griffin News. The election returns in the daily papers the Harris, Hardman and Pottle columns look like the road to heaven we saw in a picture once.—Ex. And the first steam roller is now a dilapidated back number —majorities all squshed and ev erything gone to the bow-wows. Down with conventions. If your candidate won out, be grateful. If they fell in defeat, don’t whine; the world has no thought for a boaster —no respect for a man without spine.—Walton Tribune. It is generally conceeded that Georgia will go Democratic in November and that the fourth Thursday or the fifth Thursday of the same month will be selected as Thanksgiving Day, remarks Editor Grubb. We want to express thanks for a basket of scupDernongs, a pitcher of buttermilk, six staikS' of sugar cane, a sack of apples, a plate of fresh tomatoes, a panful of okra, a dozen ears of voung corn, ajuicy sirloin veal steak, two rides in a Ford, six dopes, and an invitation to attend a school open ing at Graymont. Who wouldn’t be a country editor.—Swainsboro News. Borglum Ready for Work Mr. Gutzon Borglum has com menced preparations for his work in carving the great memorial statue on Stono Mountain. He has leased the Leliogg cottage and the work of installing the necessary equipment is proceeding under the direction of Mr. Borglum and Capt. Jesse Tucker. The engineer ing work oreparatory to the carv ing has begun, and in ten days Mr. Borglum and his brother, Solon Borglum. will establish their studio in Kellogg cottage. Work on the mountain will mark the beginning of a mounment which is one of the sreatest in the world of art and the story of u hich is attracting world- T-'idt? attention—DeKalbNew Era .♦.Exchange Extracts... (Crawford ville Democrat.) Well, it’s cooler since the pri mary. ’Possum and “taters” sounds Good to us. Cheer up, there’ll be another election by ar.d by Wonder if the local Sons of Rest would be in lavor of an eight-hour day?- One hundred dollars for a bale of cotton and the seed makes the farmers smile. Well, anyway, Alex didn’t have the Keese that unlocks the State school superintendency. (Yackson Progress) The man while is the man who smiles and boosts his town and county. There are no factions now. Ev erybody is for the nominees—and Georgia. Woodrow Wilson is next at bat and everybody can get together on this great president who has kept the United States oujt of war. is generally predicted that Hugh Dorsey will run against Senator Hoke Smith four years from now. (Griffin News) Billv Sunday says it would cost a m “li° n dollar’s to save New York. But what we want to know is how much would it|cost to save Atlanta? The new millinery is a delight to motherland daughter now —and a little later will be a blow fto father. (Greensboro Herald) The Corn Club boys and Can ning Club girls are the salt of the earth. The Vidalia Advance congratu lates Editor Shope of the Dalton Citizen. You fought a “Fite” and won. We saw where a guy took Tanlac from a drug store and the judge give him six months. All things come to him th it waits —but they come to the other fel low. It looks like the suffragists are trying to substitute Mrs-rule for misrule. Now, will Hugh Dorsey run against . Senator Hardwick? — Nashville Herald. Nope ! There is one thing that can truthfully be said about Dor sey: he doesn’t wear feather sand is willing to tackle the “Big Mogul!” You can’t tell what the people will do. Once upon a time they elected Hoke Smith governor with a land slide like they have just given Dorsey, and they turned around and defeated Hoke with the ugliest little man in the state. Notice.

We clip the following tribute to the farmer from the Union Signal: Farmers, attention! Who is generally conceded to be the backbone of the country? The Farmer. Who feeds the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the banker, the miner, the soldier? The Farmer. - - Who is taxed to support the schools, to build roads, to main tain asylums, almshouses and prisons? The Farmer. Who wants the nation dry, in order that the prisons, alms houses and asylums may become fewer while roads and schools grow propoi tionately better? The Farmer.
