Newspaper Page TextThe Henry County Weekly By J. A. FOUCHE. Entered at the poetoffice at McDon ough, Ga., ae second-olase mail matter. Advertising Rates 15c per inch, posi sition 6c additional—special contracts. Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., June 27,1919. Now tor the Fourth of July. If good roads cost money, bad ones can but cost much more. A cheap scrap —licking a post age stamp for two cents —after July 1. How can some of the boys “beer it” after July 1 with only water as a consolation? Henry county farmers have about conquered General Green and forced peace terms. “Pure-bred hogs to club mem bers” reads a headline. Evidently going to make cops out of them. John Barleycorn will soon be consigned to the tomb set apart for all wreckers of home and happiness. The Georgia legislature con vened Wednesday with perhaps never such vital problems before it to solve. How any sane man can favor the repeal of war time prohi bition we are at a loss to know. Let well enough alone. During the home-coming week at Baldwin, Kansas, the jailer hung one of the welcoming ban ners which read, “Welcome Home,” on the county jail. The pay envelope that once went over the gilded bar will soon go to the home w here it belongs and is needed and where once was sorrow and want will be found happiness and plenty. The bicyclist who rides on the sidewalks of the city should be made to get into the streets. Can’t we get some help in this matter? —Greensboro Herald. Yes wreck the machine and jail the rider. Why not enforce the speed law in Jackson or repeal it? The law is violated every day by autoists who take delight in seeing how fast they can “make her go.”— Progress-Argus. About sizes up the situation everywhere. Beginning July 1 Jackson has been raised to a second-class post office, with the postmaster’s salary $2,000, by virtue of last year’s receipts going over SB,OOO. The working force consists of four persons, not to be on duty exceeding eight hours. That Philadelphia minister (?) who advocated from his pulpit the repeal of the wine and beer act should be shorn of his mask and let the world see him as he is—a Judas in disguise. He is supposed to serve God. but dis guised in the holy ermine of the lowly Nazarene he follows the dic tates of Mammon for a few shek els of silver. Such a thing (he’s not a man) is obnoxious to the nostrils of all God fearing, law abiding people. Dawson’s Guests. The Confederate veterans of Georgia will be the guests of Dawson during the next two days, and our people deem it an espe cial honor and privilege to enter tain the survivors of the valorous army who wore the grey. No longer do the long columns of veterans who responded to the call of the leaders of the south land in its peril, who fought with Lee at Chancellorsville, Johnston at Shiloh, Beauregard at Manassas, Bragg at Chickamauga, Hood at Atlanta, Gordon at Spottsylvania, Longstreet in northern Virginia, and Evans at Appomattox march with the swinging stride of sol diers at these annual reunions. Time has left but a remnant of those who survived the instru ment of death on battlefields and in camp. But the spirit of these brave men lives, and will live so long as the people of the South hold fast to the sacred principles for which the army of ’6l-65 poured out their blood. Shall the stars and bars of the flag for which they fought and for which so many died become a scoffing in the earth and a symbol of noth ing? Not while manhood holds sacred the things for which others have so unselfishly lost their lives. It is no disparagement to the sol diers and sailors of other wars, living and dead, to say that the men who fought for the South made a record unsurpassed for valor and heroism. The records of the bravery of the Confederate soldier will never become dimmed with time. The spirit of that ar my, its devotion to duty, its undy ing loyalty, the sacrifices of those who gave the best of the South’s manhood to the cause of the Con federacy will never die. Confederate veterans, welcome to Dawson, to our hearts and to our homes. You have kept sac red the faith and unsullied the traditions for half a century. — Dawson News. Cut This Out and 'l ake It Home With You. A man often forgets the exact name of the article he wishes to purchase, anti as a last resort takes something else instead. That is always disappointing and unsatis factory. The safe way is to cut this out and take it with you so as to make sure of getting Chamber lain's Tablets. You will find noth ing quite so satisfactory for consti pation and indigestion. For Sale by Horton Drug Co. Typographical Errors. The Walton Tribune says a North Dakota paper, in writing up a social entertainment, referred to the hostess’ “big feet” and had a terrible time in explaining that he meant to say fete. In theSe days of machine set type the editor who worries over “bulls” in his paper is on a short road to the bughouse. If he man ages to get into print something similar to that which he intended he must console himself with the happy thought that he is neither a book publisher, a sign painter nor dealer in monuments. On one occassion Editor Henry W. Grady penned a beautiful me morial to Confederate soldiers. He referred to them as old “bat tlescarred” veterans. He was amazed when he read his editorial in The Constitution calling them “battle-scared” veterans. M r Grady was furious and wrote a lengthy editorial in explanation. He was horrified the next morn ing when the term appeared in print “bottle-scaVed” veterans. Then he called upoil the soldiers to come around to hm office, and he would apologizJ to them in person.—Winder N#ws. Advertise in The weekly all the time. It brings goiro results. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA Shep Saves Chileren From Dog’s Attack. Cordele, Ga., June 16. —Shep, a faithful yard dog on the planta tion of J. R. Williams, a promi nent farmer of this county, is this morning wearing a distinguished service medal with which he hal been decorated for unusual pres! ence of mind and heroic action ill battle with a mad dog headed tol ward three little children ovel whom Shep was keeping guard al they played. Shep’s first act, after scentinJ the presence somewhere in thl neighborhood of the mad animal was to go to the house and bl whining in an unusual manner! make an effort to acquaint the paj rents of the impending danger tl the children. Failing in this hi returned to his charge and as thl mad dog approached engaged hinl in a bloody battle which lasted fol several minutes, during which thl children ran to safety. I Shep came out victorious in thl death grapple but was severell wounded. He is undergoing treat! ment of skilled physicians to prel vent rabies. I • 9 Lot of Piffle. I The Confederate veterans r* turned home in 1865 ragged, afl most naked, half starved, propeil ty destroyed, homes burned —e\l erything lost save honor. Thl boys from the world war caml home fat and sleek and wefl clothed. Never in the history ol the world has any nation done al much for its fighting men as thl United States did for its sailorJ soldiers and marines in the wal against Germany. In spite of afl this certain politicians wint tJ make still further raids on thl public treasury to give the soli diers twelve months’ pay, set therfl up in business or something cl the kind. The soldiers themselvel do not want this. All they ask il to be brought home, turned loos« be let alone and given a fail chance to make an honest livin M The Progress-Argus yields not™ itig to any man or set of men ifl its devotion to the soldiers, livinfl and dead, who left home anfl country to fight our common bafl ties. But the people at home dil not escape lightly. They suffeiß ed, too. I We believe we voice the sent* ments of the majority of our fightfl ing men when we say stop all this piffle and sob stuff about the government taking care of the soldiers the rest of their lives, and give them a chance and a job. That is all they ask and all they want. —Jackson Progress. Husband —My dear, do you know it is the fashion now to have a big clock at the head of the stairs ? Wife —Yes, I know ; but ours is not going there. “Why not ?” “A clock at that point is not necessary. When you come home late I shall always be at the head of the stairs to tell you what time it is.” For Sale by Horton Drug Co.
