Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., Aug. 8, 1919. Let’s run Sergeant York for President. Georgia's quota of the Baptist drive is $7,500.00. She’ll raise it alright. What’s the difference between chimmie dance and a Mother Hubbard trot? Seems like we are always talk ing about good roads and travel ing rocky ones. O wad some power the giftie gie us to see the bill collector before he sees us. When it comes to barring the sale of Coca Cola, your Uncle Asa will be found in the running. It is not consistent to go off to a summer resort on a vacation until your last winter’s coal bill is paid. With more than 1,500 leather manufacturies in the United States the prices of footgear continue to advance. Eve is said to have worn a fig leaf, which was doubtless an im provement on the present trans parent skirts. With Uncle Sam and the state legislature both after him, old man High Price will be knocked off his perch. If there are many more “drives” one-half of the people will be driven to the poor house and the other half to the asylum. One would think the way the girls wear their hair over their ears that they could not hear, but you just ask them about ice cream. s Judging by some of the extreme styles one meets up with now adays, the lady who does stunts on the trapeze in the circus is overdressed. Hope those Chicago papers who are always deploring rape lynch ings in the south are now getting their fill of social equality in the race riot there. Dispatches state that the cork screw skirt is the latest thing out in Paris. If any American girl attempts to use it her mother ought to stopper. The boys in the trenches are responsible for the League of Nations. The fellows who were too stingy to buy even a war stamp.are opposing it. Yes, it is a cold world, if you want to look at it that way, but it may be warm enough for you in the next. There is always some thing to look forward to. Strange how some fellows will sit for hours in a broiling sun and yell themselves hoarse at a ball game, but can’t be induced to spend an hour in Sunday school, which would be far more profit able. Wonderful Progress. “The world is making wonderful progress in many ways, and the airship is one of the most striking of the evidences of progress,” says the Industrial Index. It has not been so many years ago that if the average man had seen an au tomobile coming along the road he would have been liable to have taken to the woods. Now the automobile is an old story, so to speak, and the development of the airship has the center of the stage. “A company was organized in Birmingham, Ala., a few weeks ago to construct airships, convey people in them and teach people how to operate them. Now comes Miami, Fla., with an airship show room, where the flying ma chines will be placed on sale. The Metropolis of Miami says of it: “ ‘Miami’s first airplane show room will be opened soon at the corner of Avenue D and Twelfth street in the Tatum-Wallace build ing by the Davis Motor Sales Company, which will also display the Davis automobile. Douglas Manning, formerly as first lieu tenant at the Curtis marine avia tion field in charge of flying, is the general manager for Florida for the Davis Motor Sales Compa ny, which concern has the agency for the State of Florida for the Richardson Aeroplane Company. ‘“The Davis Company will in the near future place in commis sion a Richardson airplane for use between Jacksonville and other Florida cities as a service machine. “Two airplanes have already been bought by Miami business men. “ The Richardson Aeroplane Company loaned its patents to the United States government and they are used on the seaplanes entered in the trans-Atlantic flights of the navy. The consul of Ecua dor has just placed an order for 25 Richardson planes for the gov ernment of Ecuador, these will be used in carrying mail between Panama and Ecuador.’ ” Be Natural. Heayen help the man who im agines he can dodge enemies by trying to please everybody. If such an individual ever succeeds, pass him over this way that we may have one look at his mortal remains ere he vanishes away, for earth cannot be his abiding place. Now we do not infer that one should be going through this world trying to find beams to knock and thump his head against, disputing evnry man’s opinion, fighting and elbowing all who differ from him. That, again, is another extreme. Other people have their opinions, so have you. Don’t fall into the error of sup posing they will respect you more for turning your coat every day, to match the color of theirs. Wear your own clothes, in spite of wind and weather, storms and sunshine. It costs the irressolute ten times the trouble to wind and shuffle and twist than it does honest manly independence to stand. ; "the CHILDS GOT WORMS’* Geanamother Raid.

Then vou could have faced the world, even if the sea of Galilee were throbbing with submarines. —Lloyd George. The fellow who steals your peace of mind is meaner than the ones who steals your property. Memories of what we learn thru bitterness and sorrow may not always be held in regret. Growing Old Before Your Time. Kidney trouble tends to “slow up” men and women in middle life and they fear oncoming old age when it is only the kidneys that are at fault. Foley’s Kidney Pills assist Nature to restore a sound, healthv condition and to banish backache, soreness, lame ness and stiffness. W. W. Wells, Tonquh, Mich., writes: “Foley’s Kidney Pills made me feel like a new man.” Recommended also for bladder trouble. McDonough Drug Co. For Leave to Sell. GEORGIA—Henry County.
