The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIV. HENRY 'WAY OVER TOP AND STILL GOING FINE Rallies at Hampton and Stockbridge, War Relics Train at McDonongh All Draw Great Crowds On Tuesday and Put Old Henry High Upon the Honor Roll. Tuesday was another glorious day for Henry county. The big patriotic rallies at Hamp ton in the morning, Stockbridge in the afternoon, with war relics train in McDonough, were all that could be asked, and put Henry away above her quota of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Large crowds cheered the mag nificent 40-piece military band at Hampton and Stockbridge, and the splendid music, with the fine speeches by Lieut. Jones of the ar my, Private Lewis of the navy and Hon. R. E. Harvey, were enjoyed as well as fully appreciated In round numbers, with $238,00U to raise, the subscriptions report ed are as follows: McDonough, $123,000 |i' Hampton, 63,000 Stockbridge, 50,000 Locust Grove, 31,000 Grand Total, 264,000 Henry county is one among twelve or fifteen out of the hun dred and fifty-four counties of Georgia that have gone over up to date. But that is not all —the committees are still at work, and hope to increase the subscriptions to at least $300,000 before ihe campaign closes on the 19th. The obligation of those who have not subscribed is none the less than if among the first. Hurrah for old Henry—and let’s all continue to do our full duty until Kaiserism is banished from the earth. NOTICE! We regret very much to have to call attention to the fact that, owing to the high cost of materi als to run the cleaning and press ing department connected with our Tailor Sjiop, we are forced to make some slight advance in prices. • Since the advance of prices in everything else we have succeeding in avoiding raising our prices until now, but each month w'e’.ve only been able to barely meet the expense of running the department. So, beginning with the Ist of October, we kindlv ask our club members to consider a $1 25 per month, one suit called for and delivered each week. Overcoats and ladies’ work will be charged for extra. Thanking you for your past pa tronage. SEACE TAILOR SHOP. Important Notice.
