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.
