HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
Old hens cackling these warm
days —getting ready.
Patch ud your garden fence and
be an early bird.
Lots of cotton to pick yet, but
it is worth picking, all right.
In the last days men will be
lovers of themselves—is it here?
You used to could see great
droves Of blackbirds —where have
they gone?
Have you been sufficiently
urged to enter the race yet?
If you want a good paying job,
see Llovd Hand at once.
The word “extortion” has been
discontinued, and the words “get
more” seem to have taken its
place.
If you want to know when the
world’s coming to an end, read
the seventeenth chapter of Luke.
There is not enough houses,
either in town or the country, for
folks to live in, and none being
built.
Our children’s children will, no
doubt, go visiting in flying ma
chines, and Fords will be a back
number.
We are not supersticious, but it
is a mystery to us how some folks
can cure the baby of thrash with
out seeing it. But we know sev
eral thrash doctors who do it.
Mr. G. M. Chaffin has been con
fined to his home for some time
by reason of feeble health. Uncle
George was the first school teach
er we went to, and we miss him.
When we went to school they
did not have flesh paint and pow
der and did not wear corsets, but
the> used to wear hoop skirts —
did you ever see one? It was a
funny looking thing.
Why not pass a state wide law
making the speed limit 60 miles
an hour, and furnish everybody
with an extra cutout —and just let
’em ride.
Mr. J. P. Rodgers, one of our
county’s best citizen’s, and who
has been residing in McDonough
for seyeral years, has moved t'o
his old home place near Bethany.
Work is being rapidly pushed
ahead on the power plant of Dr.
‘J. G. Smith on Cotton Indian
river, and he hopes to have it
completed within a few months.
When we were a kid nearly ev
erybody’s daddy and mamma
went to church and carried all the
children, and always carried along
some bread to give the Oaby when
it cried, and all the kids grew up
with s big opinion of his daddv
and his daddy’s church, and some
of the biggest revivals or, “big
meetins” as we called them, that
we ever saw were conducted by
cornfield preachers who never
saw a college, and people shouted
and praised the Lord, and people
loved one another better than
they do now, it seems to us.
“Cream of Songs” is the title of
a new song book just from the
press, published by Prof. W. W.
Hooten, McDonough, Ga. Mr.
Hooten is a Henry county boy,
born and reared in the county,
and for several years he has been
engaged in evangelistic work as a
singer, and he has published this
book to be used mainly in his
work as an evangelist singer. He
is one of the gospel song leaders
in the south today, and already
has a number of engagements to
fill this year.
