ages to our soldier.s over sea.
In order to insure every man in
the American expeditionary forces
a Christmas parcel the war de
partment has extended the time
of mailing for overseas packages
until Nov. 30 and have authorized
the “American Red Cross" to have
printed additional Christmas ta
bles exactly simitar to those re
ceived from abroad to issue to
those families who have not re
ceived the labels which were dis
tributed to the men abroad. In
many cases these labels-were lost
in transit and the new ruling pro
vides that the nearest relative to
the man oversea may obtain from
the Red Cross a label after No
vember 21.
These labels may be obtained
from Miss Ida Lou Tarpley at
Green & Tarpley’s, or Mr. Geo. C.
Alexander at Copeland - Turner
Mrc. Co. Applicants for these la
bels must make a statement that
they are the nearest relative of
the man to whom the package is
to be sent and that they have not
nor will not send another package
to the proposed recipient during
1918.
This extension of time and the
issuing of labels insures a Christ
mas package to every man in the
service in Europe.

Potato Year.
Thomasville, Nov. 16. — Many
counties around are boasting of
sweet potatoes of unusual size this
season, but it remains for Thomas
county to show one that by actual
weight pulls down the scales at a
fraction over 13 pounds. This
potato is one of a number grown
by Mr. 11. R. Bannister, one of the
commissioners of Thomas county,
but it weighs a little more than
the others and just about fills a
peck measure. It is considered
the champion potato of Georgia,
and Mr. Banister is anxious to
know if any other county can
measure up to it.
Come right up to Henry county
and see the real champion, Mr.
Bannister —we have>t. Mr. John
Ellliott has presented The Weekly
with one potato weighing 15 and
and one 11% pounds, Mr. Charlie
Dickson one 10% and several oth
not lower than 7, Mr. Jim Up
church one 8%, while Mr. D. F;
Blankenship has thanks for a full
sack of perfect beauties. In fact
this seems to be potato year, and
unless something else shows up,
Henry county must stand cham
pion to date.
CARD OF THANKS.

J. C. Mitchell, the teacher of Gor
