Official Or«uri of Henry County. McDonough Ga., Dec. 22, 1916 Crime knows no race, religion or country. Lots of men would be unable to born w trouble if they ban to give security. The average amount of sickness in human life is estimated at ten days per annum. To join in a dispute between is human, but to stay out of it is divine. After dcing an honest day’s work the workman likes to look a square meal in the face A German farm implement does the work of a plow, disk harrow and roller in a single trip over a field. To have swapped Wilson for Hughes at this stage would have been worse than trading with the Gypsies—Cuthbert Leader. It seems eminently fitting that the Wesleyan College girls should win a prize on angel cake at the State Fair. —Cuthbert Leader. A Macon man udio stole a beef steak was fined $35.

Dangtr Ahead The Ma lisonian prints this sig nificant item which is typical of what is going on all over the cot ton section: “Mr. H. D. White recently pur chased the 600 acre farm of Mr. Jno. P. Chambers, out on ilaid Labor Creek. He is doing a lot of fall plowing, clearing up lands, and will put 400 acres in cotton an other year.” That is where the danger lies. Twenty-cents cotton has caused an enormous movement of business eff >rt towards the country, and the resuit will be that more c >t ton will doubtless be planted in 1917 than ever before in the history of cotton culture.
