Advertising Kates 15c per inch, posi sition nc additional—special contracts Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., Jnn. 17, 1919 y Say something good about your town. I Tell something real nice on your neighbor. . A brick manufacturer needs the earth in his business. The fifth liberty loan will bring out some real patriotism. Despair is the undertaker that carries off our dead hopes. Worry gives the undertaker more business than hard work ever did. Duties and privileges of Ameri can citizenship were never higher than now. The most dangerous flirts are those that don’t “mean to,” and not those that try. A man may wake his first baby just to see it laugh, but he never disturbs the peaceful slumbers of the second. You may have noticed that the friends who are willing to lend you money are those who have no meney to lend, If anyone would start out to keep the ten commandments and adhere to them by precept and example this would be a glorious old world to live in. The Salt Lake Tribune savs there’s no longer any “wild west.” It’s getting so bone-dry that a man can’t qualify as a dime novel hero by shooting up a saloon. Advertising. It is hard for many advertisers to realize that advertising doesn’t jerk. It pulls. Yet there are peo ple, who are supposed to be level headed about most things, who will place a single advertisement and expect it to last a year. Con stant hammering is what brings results in advertising. The dashy flashy kind cannot possibly bring results that the steady, persistent kind insures. After the holidays many adver tisers close down for a season. No bigger mistake was ever made. Right now is the time to keep your advertising before the pub lic. While the other fellow is asleep is the time for you to be up and doing. Advertising is no longer an ex periment. It is a science. More than a billion dollars a year is ex pended in advertising. The man who advertises per sistently is the man who wins. Think this over.—Jackson Prog ress Argus. Solicitor Now Gets Salary. That the solicitor general of Ihe Flint circuit has been o! seed on a sal uy, beginning January 1, 1919, will be ot interest to tile people of the s vi n counties composing th Flint circuit. The law was enacted at the. last session of the general emblv. Nine judicial circuits w re em braced in the act, namel : Blue Ridge, Cherokee, Cordeh , West ern, Flint, Middle, Northeastern, Stone Mountain and Coweta. The salary of the aolicitor gen eral is to be $9,500 per annum, in addition to $250 allowed by the const it i; m. This salary is to be paid by the several counties em braced it the circuit in proportion to taxable property. There are seven counties in the Flint circuit, as follows: Butts, Henry, Fayette, Spaldin , Upson, Pike, Monroe. Fines and forfeitures that have been going to the solicitor general will now go into the county treas ury. Under the terms of the act the several counties are required to make a levy to pay the solici tor’s salary. Worthless War Histories. Upon the very dawn of victory our country is being flooded with histories of the world war. Not one, but many , concerns are launching them upon the market. The voice of the book agent is even now extolling these freshly printed volumes. For at least two reasons we wish to warn our read ers against these histories. In the first place, they are practically worthless. They are worthless because they were necessarily compiled in haste before the events for which they are suppos ed to chronicle were completed. These histories are bound to be inaccurate for the reason that many of the important chases of the war have not been allowed to be published as vet, and peace terms must be approved before full details will be released by government autorities. These histories are practically worthless since no man living could at this early date and under the Govern ment restrictions publish a history of the war which would be com plete or exact in any large degree. It follows from this that these histories are being published by incompetent men. No man who has a reputation to sustain \Vould allow his name to be used in con nection with such a volume. The fact is that these histories in all theii incompletness and inaccura cy, are rushed upon the market for no other purpose than to make money at a time when the people are intensely interested. In the interest ot real education and in ; order not to spend money for that which is of no value, these histo ries should not find a place in our home. Valuable histories of the war will be written, but it is a work • . which will require time and the ability of competent men. It will pay the citizens of Monroe county to wait until a reliable history is published, one which will be worthy of any man’s library be cuse it contains a full and compe tent treatment of the events of the great struggle. We understand that a full history of Georgia’s part in the war is now being com piled and the work of each county will be treated separately. A staff of able men will be engaged in this work for a period of at least twelve months. This volume will be of vital interest to every citi zen, and we would do well to wait for its appearance before we in vest in a history. —Monroe Adver tiser. Highest market price paid for scrap cotton. J. Olin Kimbell. HELNKY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDOXOUGH, GEQRGI V Forty-Cent Cotton. Atlanta, Ga., Jan/10. —Senator II >ke Smith’s confident prediction ' >t cotton will probably go to 40 c its a pound in the next few i »nths has given a strong impe tus to the cotton holding move ment among the farmers of the uth, who are more and more termined not to sell their staole until they can get a price that covers the cost of production plus a reasonable profit. In the near future it is quite likely, as pointed out by Senator Smith, that the blockade on Ger many and Austria will be lifted where cotton is concerned, so that the great textile indusu-ies of those countries cim get raw material. This will be in line with the gen erally agreed policy of # allowing the central empires an opportuni ty to make money with which to pay the war indemnities that will be levied upon them. As pointed out here and in the allied coun tries, unless Germany and Austria make money they cannot pay the cost of the war. Should, therefore, the blockade on cotton shipments to those coun tries be lifted, there will be imme diately created an additional mar ket for 3,000.000 bales of cotton and in Senator Smith’s opinion the price would then go to 40 cents in a very few weeks. SIOO Reward, SIOO The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease th.;t science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby de stroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na ture in doing its work. The proprie tors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J.
