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 Co. 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. 1 1 ■ ■ ■ 4^9. Money Back If It Doesn’t Help You. Ask Your Druggist HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA HOW STUAVnME HELPED HER For Sale by Horton Drug Co. 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. McDonough Drug Co. B stands for “Banishsh inade quate roads.” O stands for “Oftener and heav ier loads.” N stands for “No big repair bills to pay.” D stands for “Double your ef forts today.” S stands for “Savings in money unspent.” If the bridges and roads are made permanent. Dublin Tribune. 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 ments, but instead of saving them 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. THACHER MEDICINE CO. Chattanooga, Tenn., U. S. A. 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.” For sale by Horton Drug Co. Notice to Debtors and Creditors. To whom it may concern : All persons indebted to J. A.
