The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIV. 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 ney trouble. When the kidneys are not working properly, poisons accumulate in the system, result ing in backache, sore muscles, stiff joints, rheumatic pains, constantly tired feeling and other distressing symptoms. George McLain, Tur tle Lake, N. D., writes: “I am a locomotive engineer. 1 had a bad pain in my back and my bladder action was very irregular. I took Foley Kidney Pills and was reliev ed in a couple of days. The Mc- Donough Drug Co. A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of McDonough and Henry County.

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.

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.

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.

Joijea|. • 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 McDonough Drug Co. 51.50 A YEAR
