The Henry County Weekly J. A. FOUCHE, Editor. Enured at the post office at McDon ough. Ga . as >t*eonu '•lass mail matter. Advertising Rates furnished on appli cation. Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough Ga., Dec. 15, 19ID Charity sui'fereth long and so does the man who lives on it. That new body type in the Monticello News looks a whole lot better to us. He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted. —Auerbach. A lady in Buffalo recently gave her husband a dose ot Rough on Rats because he intimated that her own hair w as enouuh without arat. An Ocilla firm is advertising for 5U,000 coon hides. The Savannah Press has figured it out that prob ably this is responsible for the negro exodus. —Walton Tribune. Why does the bank have big iron bats across the window, ask ed a little boy of his father. “Hush,” was the answer, “that is so the cashier will get used to them.” My duck she lays a bigger egg than the helpful hen can lay, but when she’s through she cackles not, but simply walks away. And so we scorn the silent duck —hut the helpful hen we prize—which is only another way to say it pays to advertise. The English class was studying Scott, and the teacher asked some one to explain the meaning of the line, “He is to come of high de gree.” One boy arose and ex plained raidily, “It means his pa rents were both gentlemen.” — Christmas Herald. Sixty- five cents of every dollar paid by the consumer for food goes to the middleman, according to John J. Dillon, commissioner of New York state for foods and markets, who testified before the Wick’s legislative committee in its investigation into the high cost of living. If England gave as much thought to the fighting on the western front as she does to who shall be in authority at home, who will control the trade of the world after the war, and who the manufacturers of the United States are selling goods to, she might make a better showing.— Moultrie Observer. We did not expect a Thanksgiv ing turkey at all but we did think that some of the folks that- we have told polite lies about this year would have sent us an old turkey hen anyway. The next time an ugly gal or a sorry boy marries we are going to say so plain out unless we do get a Christ mas turkev. See if we dont. The next ugly or hair lipped young one that comes into the world is goingto get the truth told about its personal appearance and he wont be smart a darn bit unless that turkey comes. —Bainbridge Post- Search-light. Turning to Rural Life. Today we hear the question asked more frequently than in many years past, “is the time ap proaching for men to begin to di vide in the city and rural life?” Without a true understanding, however, the question could be misconstrued, though the answer is expected to come forth with but one idea in view—that is, whether or not soil production shall become a more important factor in the industrial world of the Sotilh m the future than t has in the past, especially within the past score of years. i I tie and there we observe that farmers, as soon as they have ac cumulated a sufficient wealth whereby they might judge them* selves fairly independent, have deserted their original homestead in the sural section and turned cityward for a new place of abode. As a consequence the idea has be come so universally popular until it would seem that a new concep tion of the situation is now be ginning to loom up with a ten dency of a part of the throng wafting back from whence they came, and occasionally entirely new heads will be found drifting in that direction. Men everywhere will admit that during the past score of years, rural life in the South has not been what it ought to have been and farm homes have from time to time been allowed to re trograde, rural communities have become less highly organized, and as a whole the custom allowed to take place has detracted the at traction formerly afforded those residing in the country. But things are changing here of late, the olden times and now are different and the idea that itnere is nothing that can take place on the farm and in the ru ral sections that will appeal to men is on the wane. In quite recent years devices have been arranged to equip the farm home with the kind of con veniences that go to make such a place attractive, waterworks sys tems have been put into opera tion that affords the farm house wife conveniences, machinery has been invented that goes a long ways towards enabling one man to do two men’s work and to make one plant grow where only one grew before. With all these changes taking place there really leaves no room for doubt in that sometime not far distant we will see a drifting back to the land, country homes will become beautified, the country surroundings will present a more attractive air, and the city and rural section will be divided, not against each other, but merely separate by a space of only a few minutes before mingling with each other in a way that will present a beautiful scene indeed. —Milledge- ville News.
