The negro ministrel play at the
school auditorium in McDonough
last week, which was all composed
of local talent, was a complete
success. 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.
