We wish we had the space to give personable mention of each one taking taking part in it, but space forbids, but indeed it was a success. From a clipping that recently appeared in The Weekly from the Jackson Progress, it seems that our thriving and live neighbor city of Locust Grove is making a puli for the Butts County Fair next year. We hope she will succeed in landing it, and it she does that will give Henry two county fairs next year. Can any neighbor county beat that ? Some folks say it’s bad luck to begin any kind of work on Friday and it scares them nearly to death for a rabbit to cross the road ahead ot them and if a screech owl hollers they will turn their pockets wrong side out and if they start anywhere and forget some thing they will make a cross mark and spit in it and if a bat happens to get in the house it’s a sign of death and if a cat turns his back to the fire it’s a sign of cold weath er. Our cat turned his back to the fire last Sunday. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bright de sire to thank their many friends and for their kindness shown them during the death of our beloved mother. May God’s richest blessings rest upon each and every one of you. Mr. and Mrs. T.
