The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIV. DO YOUR LEVEL BEST TO-DAY What Is He Woith To You? v ' e; ~ What Is He Worth To You? IF YOU WERE to give everything you possess, or ever hope to possess, to aid in win ning this war —you could not equal this boy’s supreme sacrifice! You are asked to loan your Government your dollars. For every $4.17 you loan you will be repaid $5.00. Can you hesitate to loan your money when this young man GAVE HIS LIFE? BE READY TO MAKE YOUR PLEDGE NATIONAL WAR II! WE ? A SAVINGS DAY He iias paid the price of war! He has made his supreme sacri fice. He has given everything to his country. It’s just a few short months since he marched down the street. God knows we cheered til! our lungs were hoarse. And we wished him well —and called him a hero! Then we went back to our work. If cheers and patriotic speeches and parades would win a war, we’d have the whole Potsdam gang licked to a frazzle in short order. But they won’t. And while we were cheering and speech-making and Darading, the Kaiser was driving his horde closer and closer to Paris and sinking our own vessels within gunshot of our own shores. Well, what are YOU going to do about it ? When someone tells you that this war will end soon, you are listening to a damned Ger man lie! This war will NOT end until you and I and every other American has made a sacrifice. And if we don’t make that sacrifice on the field of battle we are going to make it in our own home. Let this thought sink into your mind. There’ll be NO PEACE on God’s green earth until Germany is whipped to her knees. We’ve got to stamp his head into the bloody mire or the Kaiser, drunken with temporary successes, will make us ashame'd of ourselves before we eventually wake up and WIN! There’s a price tag on every war. The price we pay for this one depends on the length of time w’e take before paying. We*’ve got to pay in a service or sacrifice. And right here and now is where we start to sacrifice. The easiest and quickest way to start is by the purchase of War Savings Stamps. If you haven’t started you are going to start this week. Today you will be commanded, not asked, to sign a pledge to save sufficient during this year to purchase at least twenty dollars Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of McDonough and Henry County. McDonough, Georgia, Friday, june 28? im County Officials Have Magnificent Trip Off. It was the good fortune of The Weekly editor to attend the an nual county officers convention in Valdostata last week. The party consisted of Ordinary Harris, Sheriff Ward, Tax Collector Wallace, Mr. J. M. Carmichael and ye scribbler, the trip being made by auto, and most delightful. Splendid roads, beautiful, clean crops, great heavy-laden peach orchards and other attractions were revelations all along the way of 245 miles to destination, which was reached just before nightfall, on the day of leaving, Monday. Valdosta is a beautiful little city of fifteen thousand inhabitants, and their treatment of the county officials was royal. An auto ride 8 or 10 miles out of the city revealed model farms, with as magnificent crops of corn and peanuts on the extensive stretches of level lands $s the imagination Ci.uld picture. Mr. boll >y,eevil has knocked: out king cotton, hence a sight of it is a rarity. But •this is regarded by the farmer as a blessing, bringing on a new and better order of things i-m A banquet by the Citizens Club culminated the day on the banks i of Ocean Pond, an ideally pictur esque location at Lake Park 12 miles below the city, where the spread of canteloupes, watermel ons, fresh lake brim, with other delicious accompaniments to com plete the feast, simply beggars description. Indeed would a detailed write up of the trip be interesting, but time and space forbid. The return trip was made by. way of Willacoochee, where an- 1 other delightful hour was spent with Mr. and. Mrs. Ray Brown, son-in-law and daughter of Ordi nary Harris. Ray’s McDonough riends are pleased to know that he has established a good busi ness and owns a nice home in the town of his adoption. It would be unjust to overlook the “Apperson Jack Rabbit,” the magnificent speedy car of Mr. J. | M. Carmichael, which contributed i so much to the pleasure and com ! fort of the trip. Fine Shoe Work. I have perfected arrangements with F. B. Harris of Griffin by which I am prepared to do ail sorts of shoe work in the best possible manner. Don’t fail to see me for anything in the shoe line. Satisfaction guaranteed in all the grades. T. S. MAYS. wmrth of War Savings Stamps. Every man, woman and child, re gardless ofepolor or creed is commanded by our government to make this sacrifice. And I’ve got an idea in my head that you’il be mighty glad to do it! Because we’ve stopped the cheering and the speeches and the parades and we know now—WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT! We’ll sacrifice and WIN. JACK CARR, Director of Publicity War Savings Stamps. .
