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. Miss Lilia Jones and Mr. Leo Craig were married Sunday after noon. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Jones and is a sweet and lovable character, and has many friends who join in wishing her every happiness. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Craig and is an energetic and promising young farmer and a splendid young man. His friends are congratulating him. Mr. L. W. Jones has returned from overseas and his many friends are giving him a welcome home. Mis’ Franc. 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. Trustees Meeting.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears , Signature of HENRY fcOUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA. 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.

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. Get the original from SMITH-NEWMAN MFG. CO. McDonough, Ga.
