Some for Nothing. We are going to give the idle young men of this community something for nothing—a little advice free of charge. Rut it is good advice, is given in all sincer ity, and is for their present as well as for their prospective good. You tel! us you want work, but there is nothing for you to do. Let us see. All over this part of the State there ar m ny of the best farms of the country. There are big farms, medium sized farms, and oven one-man acreages. t hese farms ar e not producing o their maximum, because the own rs c; 1 not secure the neces sity farm labor. If they could ecure the necessary help the . -cage ' ou!d be materially in creased each year, and the com • unity \Y( uld become richer, and belter, and more attractive to all : jeople. You want a job do you? We’ll test your sincerity, for your good hi d for the welfare of the com munity. To each young man, out of a job, who is willing to go onto a nearby farm and go to work, we will run in this paper, FREE OF CHARGE, a five line want ad for two weeks. That ad should se cure you a job within a few days. There is no more dignified call ing than that of tilling the soil. It is the source from which the sus tenance of all life springs. Go onto the farm today. Be industrious. Strive each day to learn something new. Make up your mind that you will begin at the bottom and end at the top. In ten years, while still young, > ru will be carrying success around m your pocket. You will have a comfortable bank account. You may even have a farm of your own. And you will be admired tnd respected by the whole com munity. BUT— “No farm life for me!” you say? Then this is our prophesy : In ten years, instead of being successful and admired by your nei 'hbois, you will be still period ically looking for that job. You u ill be a stranger to the business entrance of a bank. You will be scheming to make both ends meet, possibly at your wits end to sup port a family on an income not sufficient for one. The young man who begins life with looking for a soft job gener ally ends doing the dirty work which others kick aside. Two roads are open before you, and no obstacles bar your way. The choice is yours. —Griffin News. Bright Country Editors. No state in the Union has any brighter country newspaper men 'han Georgia. We could name dozens oi the brethren who are holding down weeklies that are as bright as the noon-day sun. They, are the pride of the state and the admiration of all who are’able to appreciate brains and character. We read the dailies to get a glimpse of what is happening on this outside world of ours, but when we desire to turn aside and get a picture of rural life—that life which after all is the backbone of the world—we open the pages of the country weeklies and drink it in like old wine served in golden vessels. Long live the glowing country editor of Georgia. Alpharetta Free Press. Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. This medicine always wins the good opinion if not the praise of those who use it. Try it when you have need of such a remedy. For sale by Horton Drug Co. Credit System. The credit system is one of the greatest evils the laboring man has to contend with. It tempts him with its alluring offers, he eagerly seizes the deceptive bait, and chains himself —a slave. He can build a fine house, or build a fancy carriage, own a new piano like neighbor B’s, by simply giv ing his note to be paid next year, when his crops will perhaps be better, and the desire overrules his better judgment. In an evil hour he allows the trap to be sprung upon him. With a load of interest bearing upon him he struggles on, growing fainter and fainter, beneath the burden, and when the time of payment arrives, he is no better able to pay the debt than he was the day it was contracted. The interest eats into his prosperity like a corroding cancer, and gradually takes every thing he can earn above what is absolutely necessary for his fam ily. The financial horizon looms up dark and threatening. An hour of adversity happens and then the crash comes. His prop erty is sold under the hammer at less than half its value, and he is turned out upon a cold world, penniless and destitute. In many instances the shock of transition from affluence to pauperism is more than his mind can bear, and he finds relief in a suicide’s grave. A Grateful Woman's Story. Mrs. Robert Blair, 460 20th St., Terre Haute, Ind., writes: “I suffered two years with kidney and bladder trouble. After taking Foley Kidney Fills a few short weeks I found my trouble gradu ally disappearing. The backaches stopped and I am also free from those tired spelis and headaches, and my vision is no longer blur red.” Foley Kidney Pills help the kidneys, keep the blood clean and eliminate the impurities that cause backache, rheumatic pains, sore, stiff and swollen joints and mus cles. McDonougn Drug Co. Manual Labor Honorable. The trouble with most young men is that they do not under stand the diguit\ of manual labor. They do not realize that honors and fortune may be more readily gained outside of the so-called learned professions than in them ; and that it is just as honorable to swing a hammer or to hold a plow as it is to make a speech in court or to amputate a limb. The les son young men should be taught as early as possible is that it is not so much what a man does for a living as how he does it, and that manual labor is as honorable as any other. —Ex. 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. Cynicism. We are reminded that resentment, doubt and cynicism are so easily mis taken for the wisdom of disillusion ment that there is double reason to guard against them. Many a hurv soul fancies it is growing wise in the ways of the world when in truth it is only growing hard and hitter. An acquaintance with mankind does .tot mean merely learninsr humanity’s seam?' side and being on guard against it. A wider study will bring a far different "nd more hopeful knowledge. A patent has been granted a French inventor for a process for drving and bleaching seaweed for packing purposes. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGI Bring American Dead Home From Furopc. Washington, D. C. —Three- fourths of the American dead in France will find their final resting place in American soil. Answering an inquiry today from Senator Chamberlain as to the wishes of relatives Gen. March, chief of staff, said it was estimated that replies from relatives thus far received showed not more than 25 per cent who expressed a pre ference that the soldier’s body re main permanently in France. With more than 4,000,000 sol diers dead of allied and enemy countries buried in French soil, Gen. March said that nation was desirous of proceeding slowly with the task of exhuming those that are to go to their home lands. No date has yet been set for begin ning the return of American dead. “Junior” Resembles His Papa. His friends said it was excusa ble because it was his first boy. He exhibited the photograph at the bank where he was employed. “Isn’t he a wonder?” the young father would say, passing it through the window. “You bet he is—really good looking and intelligent; yes, he does resemble his father.” And papa would beam and act as though he had not noticed the flattering smile. All day the same thing was repeated as friends en tered the bank. He was “real tickled” with him self when he went home that night and handed the package of photographs to his wile. As she opened it the much flattered papa told her how his friends had ad mired “Junior,” and did she think the little fellow looked as much like him as people said? Mrs. Bank Teller took one look at the contents of the package. “Why, dearie, the photographer has made a mistake; he gave you the wrong pictures.”—Kansas City Star. jjii| l l!]l!lll!!l! i! 1 pLAY the smotegame with a jimmy ' -"Illlll " A pipe if you’re hankering for a hand out for what ails your smokeapoetite! §P|§| For, with Prince Albert, you’ve got a rev/ listen on the pipe question that cuts you loose from old stung tongue and cry throat worries!
