First Bale.
McDonough’s first bale of the
new cotton crop was marketed
Tuesday 27, possibly a few days
ahead of the average season.
It was brought in by Mr. J. T.
Morrow, just south of town, class
ed good middling, and sold to Mr.
J. D. Dupree for 34 cents, at least
a cent ahead of any other market
around for first bale. Weight 575
pounds, net price $195.50. Mr.
Morrow could have had it in Sat
urday, but for the fact he had to
take it to Locust Grove to be
ginned.
Later —Regular spot since up to
35 cents!
Two Auto Wrecks, but
Fortunately Not Serious
With two bad auto wrecks this
week, fortunately no serious per
sonal injury resulted.
On Sunday afternoon last a ne
gro boy named Weems living on
the Pullin place was attempting
to pass another party in the road
some piece this side of Locust
Grove, when his car collided with
that of Mr. Charlie Williams, who
had turned out to meet the first
car, the impact being very severe.
Mrs. Williams received several
painful cuts about the head and
face, one of which required a
number of stitches to be taken;
Miss Jeannett Hillsman, her sis
ter, few bruises; Mrs. Hillsman,
Mr. Gardner and liitle daughter
ur,injured *$?*&&&?> forested
and put under bond.
Reports from Mrs. Gardner are
that she is doing nicely.
The second accident occurred
on the camp ground road during
the big dust-storm Tuesday after
noon, when the big Roamer car
of Mr. Joe J. Smith and the big
Columbia of Mr. T. C. Kelley were
both badly wrecked in collision.
Little D. J. Smith, driving the for
mer, had stopped on the side of
the road just south of Mr. Seab
Harkness’ home, when T. C. Kel
ley, Jr., driving the latter, ap
proached down the hill. The dust
was so dense he was unable to
see the car in front, and crashed
into it, completely mashing in both
engines. In the Roamer little
Annie Laurie Smith was injured
by a cut under the cheek-bone,
with two or three bruises on the
forehead. The other occupants,
Mrs. Green Copeland, Mrs. Smith'
and little son escaped unhurt.
Several young ladies, whose
names we failed to learn, were in
the Columbia with Mr. Kelley, and
although thrown possibly twenty
feet, none were injured except
Miss Berry, who received a cut
just below the neck, requiring
several stitches.
Two mules were required to
pull the engines apart, and the
escape from fatalities was exceed
ingly fortunate.
Locomotive Engineer Writes.
Overwork and worry cause kid

are not working properly, poisons
accumulate in the system, result

joints, rheumatic pains, constantly

An Interesting Incident.
Under the above heading a re
cent issue of the Constitution con
tained the following complimen
tary reference to Miss Carrie Lucy
Dailey, which will be read with
pleasure by her McDonough
friends:
An appreciation of efficient work
was demonstrated in the general
assembly of Georgia the other day
when the motion was almost
unanimously passed -to raise the
salary of the assistant librarian of
the state. The work of that state'
official has been so markedly ex
cellent that when the motion was
made, there was scarcely a mem
ber of the assembly who did not
recall how especially he at
some time had been aided in some
form of his legislative work by
reference to the library, especially
if the information he desired, was
along legal lines.
The assistant state librarian,
like the librarian, must not only
have the library training which is
required now by all accredited li
braries, but he or she must have
a broad knowledge of history and
the general records of a state’s
history. That knowledge must
be direct, accurate and of ready
expression, and it cannot be ac
quired without continued study
and faithful application. The as
sistant state librarian of Georgia
has all the qualifications for the
office and has proven it.
Incidentally, the assistant libra
rian of Georgia is a woman rather
small in stature, but big in spirit
and brain. She is Miss Carrie
Dailey, and has been in the ser
vice of the state for several years.
On both sides she represents
families of prominence and dis
tinction and she has a host of
friends interested in her bright
career.
Growing Hogs.
For a hog to be profitable he
must be kept growing from birth
to marketing age. He cannot be
profitable unless he is healthy.
He can always be in a profit-pro
ducing condition if he is fed B. A.
Thomas’ Hog Powder. We posi
tively tell you that this remedy
prevents cholera, removes worms
and cures thumps. If the powder
does not make good, we will.

Postoffice Robbed.
Possibly for the first time Mc-
Donough has actually had a post
office robbery.
It occurred Monday night when
someone prized off the doorfacing
of Dr. Scotts office, went through
three private rooms, and entered
the postoffice breaking the con
necting rear door. About fifteen
dollars was taken from the cash
drawer, which was forced open,
and nothing else disturbed. Bills
were evidently the only object, as
stamps, nickels and pennies were
untouched. No evidence of an
effort to enter the vault was dis
covered.
Dr. Scott Resigns.
Beginning on the first of Sep
tember Mr. John Varner assumes
charge as postmaster of the Mc-
Donough office, having been ap
pointed to succeed Dr. A. R. Scott,
resigned. Dr. Scott has been
complimented by head officials as
one of the most efficient postmas
ters in the service, but finding his
private business demanding atten
tion, he decided to devote his en
tire time to it;
Mr. Varner has acted as assist
ant postmaster some time and will
make a capable head, receiving the
congratulations of his friends.

Mr. Howard Stansell
Dies Monday Night.
Deep genuine regret was caused
by the death of Mr. Howard Stan
sell, which occurred at his home
here about 2 o’clock Monday night.
Mr. Stansell was in the prime of
manhood, healthy amL vigorous,"
and up to the attack about three
weeks ago had scarcely any sick
ness during his life. From the
first, uneasiness was felt, and
when typhoid fever developed,
file inevitable end was soon real
ized.
B£tt few men possessed a more
genial and clever disposition than
Mr. Stansell, whose untimely end
brings sincere sympathy to scores
of friends. He is survived by his
wife and four small- children, to
whom profound condolence is ex
tended.
Funeral services were conduct
ed from the Baptist church by
Rev. J. M. Gilmore at 10 o’clock
Wednesday morning, in presence
of a large gathering, after which
the remains were laid to rest in
McDonough cemetery.

V* We and some of our neighbor
I tree so f peaches literally slr'ppear
of fruit this season, and we have
a strong suspicion that it went to
feed that old worm that Uncle
Jereyniah talks about. We Were
planning to use this fruit quite
differently, in that were going to
save it to help out the great food
question. So we feel now like
some one had sat down on our
Sunday hat or walked off with
the biggest pie, or something. It
is a sorry, shameful business, and
we only wish it were in our pow
er to put the evil out. And in
the meantime we would be doing
the ones who are on
as great a favor as anyone else.
Our back yard is very red
muddy when it is not red-dusty,
and it makes our'kiddies look like
Indians and their clothes like ca
lamities, when they are there, so
the man of the house is iaying in
a cement walk from the door
steps across the yard to the steps
that go up the bank to the barn,
which are of cement. Also around
the well, the curb of which is ce
ment, in all about 75 or 100 feet.
And there is sweet peace on this
question.
An honest and candid confes
sion is far more effective than a
stout and persistent denial.
Husband and Wife.
Mrs. Frank P. Wood, Box IS, R.
F\D. 2, Morrill, Me., writes: “Fo
ley Kidney Pills help me so much.
My husband also has received
much benefit from them. He was
so lame he could not stoop over
and now he feels no pain.” Lame
back, sore muscles, stiff joints,
rheumatic aches and pains are
quickly conquered by Foley Kid
ney Pills. Don’t neglect your kid
neys nor mistake symptoms of ov
erwoked or disordered kidneys
for the “slowing up” of age. The
