Official Organ of Henry County.
McDonough, Ga., July 4, 1919.
Let’s all pull for McDonough.
’Rah for the Glorious Fourth !
Fairness is the key that unlocks
kindness.
Good morning. Have you read
The Weekly?
Pardon us. But is it warm
enough for you?
We all have trials —some have
judge and jury.
Remember —it’s what you know
today, not what you learned.
You were missed at church and
Sabbath school last Sunday.
All men are self-made men but
only those who succeed admit it.
The man who doubts himself, or
his cause, gets mad when .others
do.
Good roads and good schools
mean the success of any commu
nity.
No town anywhere has abler or
more consecrated ministers than
McDonough.
Clothes may not make the man,
but they bankrupt us when wifey
does the shopping.
Don’t think everybody likes to
hear what you tell, as they have
troubles of their own.
The fellow who tells you face
to face what he thinks of you
seldom has much to say.
This proverb will perpend,
“That he that was an honest foe
may prove a faithtul friend.”
If you want to live right while
here and wear a crown hereafter,
subscribe for your home paper.
Good bye, John Barleycorn,
with your heartaches and pains;
may the world never see your like
again.
It is said that ignorance covers
a multitude of sins. Yes, and a
powder rag also covers a multi
tude of wrinkles.
The little boy that keeps his
hair combed and his face clean
evidently considers cleanliness
next to Godliness.
Notice has been given that a
dog tax bill will be introduced in
the legislature. Now listen for a
howl —from the owners.
“Where is the old-time boy that
sold scrap iron and other junk
for his spending money?” —Carey
J. Williams. He may now be
seen on the street corner learning
to cuss and smoke cigarettes.
Breveity might b& injected into
the peace conference by abbrevat
ing the salaries that some of the
delegates are receiving for work
they are not performing in the
homeland. —Monroe Advertiser.
A Tip to the Girl Graduate
So many of our dear girls have
just graduated with all the ologies
and isms, in a perfect dear of a
white dress, and now, after you
hang your diplomas on the wall,
girls, you are wondering about
the words of the song, “Where
Do We Go From Here?” The
next station used to be matrimony,
but no girl is sure nowadays of
getting married, and if she does,
is she certain that she will get a
husband who is capable of sup
porting her? Men are scarce,
and the high cost of living discour
ages them in undertaking the bur
den of a family. Therefore, I
would advise every girl who has
finished school to go to work to
learn some way of making her
own living. Even if she belongs
to some rich, well-to-do family,
she should learn some trade or
occupation, for money has wings
and it flies from you much more
easily than it flies to us. The girl
who rides in her limousine tod: y
may lack carfare tomorrow. All
the doors of opportunity are wide
open to women nowadays, so I
say to you, girls, “get busy; go to
work,” for it is just as shameful
for a woman to be a parasite as it
is for a man. Don’t let your fath
er and mother, who have made so
many sacrifices for your education,
be called upon to make still furth
er sacrifices in keeping you in
idleness. With your own hands
and brain you should realize that
you are independent and able to
stand alone on your own two little
sturdy feet. —Redbone Cor. Mon
roe Advertiser.
Summer Complaint Quickly Relieved
‘'About two years ago when suf
fering from a severe attack of sum
mer complaint, I took Chamber
lain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy
and it relieved me almost instant
lv,” Mrs. Henry Jewett, Clark
Mills, N. V. This is an excellent
remedy for colic and diarrhoea and
should be kept at hand by every
family. For sale by Horton Drug

Raise More Potatoes.
The potato is one of the most
widely cultivated of the agricul
tural plants and next to Indian
corn is the most important contri
bution of America to the food
supply of the world. Probably
no crop except rice is eaten by a
larger number of people. In the
more thickly populated regions of
northern Europe the Dotato is now
the most important of human
foods, furnishing about 25 per
cent of the food of the continental
and English peoples. Only the
oriental peoples exist without it.
Not only are the tubers used
for food, but they have important
industrial uses. As American pop
ulation increases, the potato will
become more and more important
in this country, there being no oth
er crop which will give such a
large yield of food suitable for
man under such varying condi
tions. —Progressive Farmer.

Is McDonough Making
Most of Its Advantages?
Every town has its advantages
and should make the most of
them. Every town is peculiarly
fitted for some enterprise more
than another, and as soon as it is
ascertained what would be most
conducive to the growth and
prosperity of the place, the citi
zens should take hold of the mat
ter and push it for all there is in
it. One man cannot make a town.
The newspapers cannot do it. But
one man or a newspaper with the
help of the wide-awake men of
the place all pulling together can
make a wide difference in a place.
Every man who succeeds in a
town is a help to it. The more
money he makes if he spends it,
the better for the community.
The larger business he builds up,
the more he advertises, the more
attention is called to the town. A
man cannot build up an honorable
business in a town without help
ing the town. A town cannot
build up without helping the coun
try. The interest of one is the in
terest of all —Elberton Star.
The Test That Tells.
There is only one real test for a
cough remedy, and that is use. S.
M. Oliver, Box 192, R. F. D. 5,
Greensboro, S. C., writes: “Foley’s
Honey and Tar is just fine. I
keep it all the time in my family
and do not expect to be without it
as long as I can get it.” It relieves
hay fever, asthma, coughs, colds,
croup and bronchial affections by
covering the inflamed, irritated
surfaces with a soothing, healing
combination of time tried, reliable,
pure, harmless medicines. Con
tains no opiates. Children like it.

B stands for “Banishsh inade

President Wilson says: “If you
keep your motives good you are
not apt to get into trouble;” if you
don’t you deserve to be.
Letters to the Editor.
“You know the saying that a
drop of ink makes people think?”
“I’ve heard it, but don’t believe
it,” replied the newspaper publish
er. “We use ink by the carload
and every day our waste paper
baskets are filled with communi
cations from people who merely
think they think.” —Birmingham
Age-Herald.
To be sure, some farmers do
use pooivout of-date farm imple

money it costs them money.
“I was troubled with female com
plaint for several years. My husband
procured for me a bottle of STELLA
VITAE, from Mr. L. Hamrick, our
merchant, which helped me so much
that I used two more bottles, and the
three bottles completely cured me. I
am certainly thankful for this great
female tonic.”— Mrs. J. F. Lee, Ga.

Hit the Line Hard.
What we have a right to expect
from the American boy is that he
shall turn out to be a good Amer
ican man. Now, the chances are
strong that he won’t be much of a
man unless he is a good deal of a
bov. He must not be a coward
or a weakling, a bully, a shirk, or
a prig. He must work hard and
play hard. He must be clean
minded and clean lived and able
to hold his own under all circum
stances and against all comers.
It is only these conditions that he
will grow to be a man of whom
America can really be proud. In
life, as in a football game, the
principle to follow is: Hit the line
hard; don’t foul and don’t shirk,
but hit the line hard. —Theodore
Roosevelt.
Summer Complaint in Children.
There is not anything like so
many deaths from this disease now
as before Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy came into snch
general use. When this remedv is
given with castor oil as directed
and proper care is taken as to diet,
it is safe to say that fully ninet-niney
out of every hundred cases recover.
Mr. W. G. Campbell, of Butler,
Tenn., says, “1 have used Cham
berlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Rem
edy for summer complaint in chil
dren. Tt is ahead of anything I
have ever used for this purpose.”
