She says everyone must work or fight now, and she is doing her bit like a true soldier. She has a son in France. The lady is not of this community, though we have some who are doing valient ser vice all around us. Rev. Jeff Strickland of the Salem charge will preach at Fairview, the Presbyterian church near Snapping Shoals, next Sunday aft ernoon. Go and hear him and you will be glad you did. If the restrictions on auto driv ing on Sunday holds good untill next summer probably it will prove a blessing to the Sunday school work, since it will make it a little more inconvenient for the crowds to gather at the afternoon sing ings. Farmers are getting their cotton ginned with great difficulty. So few gins are running I guess on account of scarcity of wood and hjbor. The ginnery at Snapping Shoals, run by water power, is go ing day and night. We would like to offer an apol ogy to little Dorothy Wilkerson fur our tardiness in announcing As a matter of fact these new garments have but lately come in by ex press from New York, and therefore show the very latest styles of the season* Practically every style developed in one way or another is to be found in the extensive showing you will find here on display, and surely every desirable style sanctioned for this season's wearing* In the suits there are garments of velour, broadcloth, serge and repp; trimmings are in fur, Hudson seal, braid and buttons* The dresses are made of various fabrics, such as tricolette, tricotine and velvet, and show various new effects in designing. As for the coats, we doubt if there has ever been a showing of Fall gar ments showing such beautiful effects as you will find now. The showing is worthy of a special trip to the store, and we believe is one of the most extensive we will make this season. The new suits are marked at 525.00 to SBO.OO. The new dresses are marked at SIO.OO to $50.00. The new coats are marked at SIO.OO to $50.00. her coming to dwell among us. I have been kind of indisposed and have not written The Weekly for two .or three weeks. The is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wilkerson. No visiting much going on now. It goes against the grain with me anyway (and with many others) to write or read such when 1 could be writing or reading something that 1 consider of more importance. Mis’ Franc. Union Grove. Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord. This is a very comforting verse to all who are in trouble. Let us apply it to our hearts and be patient and we shall be strengthened. It is like we have heard from the pulpit recently. 'When one gets their hands on a mother’s boy, they have their hands on that boy’s mother’s heart. We have had a little experience along this line, and have found that it pays to pray and wait on the Lord. Pray without ceasing. What is prayer, the soul’s sincere desire uttered or unexpressed. Therefore, let us come boldly un to the throne of grace and trust the Lord even in our darkest hour, for there is nothing hid that shall not be revealed. Note the word shall: Educated people tell us that the word “shall” is one of the strongest words in the English language. So dear mothers, you will find that putting our trust in these promises we will obtain mercy. We have been told several times 1 for the past few months by old people that lived during the Civil War. that this world war would never cease until people were HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA brought down to a more humble way of living. If so, the end is not yet. There are a lot of good people yet, but there are also hy pocrites galore. People will get up in the church and tell how they are enjoying religion and how the Lord is blessing them, and then walk out at the close of the ser vice without even seeing their poor neighbor. Don’t you know that the Lord is not blessing any such. Be not deceived, Christ is not mocked. We happen to be one of those poor neighbors, but right here is where we get our j comfort. Christ was poor and , had nowhere to lay His head, and i inasmuch as we do not want to speak to our poor neighbor, we cannot speak to Him. God help the world to get in the right spirit. Words are insufficient to ex press our sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. William Hinton in the death of their daughter. Gertrude. The funeral was held at Woodland last Thursday morning, Revs. Oglesby and Goff conducting the service in a most touching manner. The beautiful floral offering and the great mass of people attested to the high esteem in which the de ceased and family are held. May God comfort their bleeding hearts.
