In my humble opinion when
professed Christians begin to prove
to the world that they have some
thing that is better than anything
the world has to offer, and stop
following after the world and not
look and act miserable as every
thing because they have stopped,
then more souls will be born into
the Kingdom. No one wants to
seek a religion that seems to de
prive while it fails to give some
thing deeper and richer and
grander than anything its subjects
give up.

Devoted Nurse’s Death.
The story of a nurse’s devotion
in France was told by Maj. Gen.
Cuthbert Wallace at a meeting
convened by the London national
council of women to consider
shorter hours for hospitals staffs.
“There was,” said the general,
“a certain hospital in France where
the German bombers were coming
over night after night. Some
people get restless when they
know that bombs may be drooped
on them. The wounded man —al-
though he was practically indif
ferent to shell fire—in a hospital
very often gets seized with this
horrible fear, this inability to keep
still. There was a certain nurse
who was looking after a ward in
in which there was a man who
was bedridden and could not get
out of the way. She had-gone off
duty one evening when these
bombers came over. She knew
of this man and went back to her
ward. She was not on duty, but
she sat at this man’s bed and sang
to him. A bomb fell. That wo
man was killed, but the man was
left. The name of this heroic
nurse was not revealed.
No Opposition Expected
For Attorney General.
Macon, Ga.—The practical unani
mous support given the candi
dacy of Hon. 0. M. Duke of Butts
county in the race to succeed
Attorney General Clifford Walker
in his present office will no doubt
cause many would-be aspirants to
the office to stay out of the race.
Mr. Duke has met with only the
heartiest support in every section
of the state that he has visited.
One of the state’s leading jurists
is responsible for the statement
that Mr. Duke has tried more
cases than any other lawyer in
Georgia during the twentv-five
years he has been practicing his
profession. This judge further
stated that the experience gained
from this large volume of legal
business would be of much value
to Mr. Duke should he be elected.
This announcement will no
doubt merit with hearty approval,
since it is thought other races will
cause the state much political
agitation; however, the fewer the
better, and especially so when the
logical man goes in without oppo
sition. -
A Card.
McDonough, Ga.,
August 18, 1919.
To the Editor of the Henry County
Weekly:
Dear Sir.
It comes to me that a rumor has
been circulated in McDonough
and its community that I, M. M.
Alston ? pastor of the Methodist
Church here (colored), have ad
vised, through my church and
society, the colored women of this
community not to wash nor work
for the white people in town, or
out of town, unless for a high
price.
Allow rpe to say: First, that it is
false from every point of view
and malicious. Secondly, I have
not given any such advice. On
the contrary, I have always ad
vised my people to work at the
best wages as they could obtain,
but under all circumstances to find
work and keep at work.
The false report was intended
to disturb the friendly relations
which exist here between the two
races.
I should be glad to meet the
conspirator in your or anyone’s
presence at any time.
Thanking you in advance to put
this in your valuable paper, I
remain
Yours respectfully,
Rev. M. M. Alston.

He Rose to the Occasion.
The sophomore class at N
high school had a genius for a
teacher. She could write poety
and every Friday required her
pupils to do the same. Norman
could play baseball, but poetry
was outside his ken. Still the
teacher insisted that he do it, and
finally issued as her ultimatium
that he either write it or she would
mark him failure on his monthly
report. A failure mark meant
that the team would lose one of
its best players, so Norman tried
to write a poem. His attempt
was so wretched that his teacher
tried scarcasin.
“You are a genius,” she told
him. “Now see if you can’t write
a poem about yourself and your
wonderful abilities.”
Later she found Norman’s ef
fort in his memorandum book, but
she has kept the finding a secret.
For he had written :
Lives of school teachers all remind us
That they’d better get a man,
And departing leave behind them
Fewer nuisances if they can.
For Administration.
GLORIA—Henry County.

For Dismission.
GEORGIA—Henry County.
Whereas, C. M. Power, adminis
trator of W 7 m. Pounds, represents
to the court in his petition, duly
filed and entered on record, that
he has fully administered Wm.
Pound’s estate.
This is, therefore, to cite all
persons concerned, kindred and
creditors, to show cause, if any
they can, why said administrator
should not be discharged from his
administration, and receive Letters
of Dismission on the first Monday
in September, 1919.

TESTIMONIAL
R. F. D. No. 6, McDonough, Ga., July 5, 1919.
Smith-Newman Mfg. Co., McDonough, Ga.
Dear Sirs: I bought one of your TRI-PLEX machines last year,
and after sharpening my gins with the TRI-PLEX it increased their
capacity fully one hundred per cent. When I bought this machine I
already owned and had been using another make of Filer, and it was
hard for me to believe your statement when you told me that if I
would use the TRI-PLEX according to instructions that it would
more than pay for itself the first season, but I find that you are ex
actly right about it. It is the best $75.00 I have ever spent to go
in my Gin House. Yours truly,
(Signed) R. A. RUSSELL.
There is no use in spending your good hard earned money for a
marchine that is an imitation or an infringement on our TRI-PLEX.
