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.
