McDonough, Ga., Nov. 14, 1919.
The coal miners seem to have
struck out.
By the way, Mr. Barnes, what
time is it ?
These mornings are a trifle cool
for B. V. D’s.
Good morning. Have you read
The Weekly ?
Give your limit and then some
more to the memorial fund.
All you need is a heart and a
dollar to join the Red Cross.
t
The pay roll of a cotton or knit
ting mill is worth going after.
What Sunday school do you
attend ? Don’t be a corner loafer.
Didn’t see you at Sabbath school
last Sunday. Don’t be a slacker.
With plenty of juice (electric)
and ice during the summer we
should worry.
Now that we have plenty of
electric power, let's go after manu
facturing plants.
A nice Christmas present—a
year’s subscription to The Henry
County Weekly.
If we had a few more J. G.
Smiths in our midst McDonough
would soon be some town.
Now that you’ve gathered your
cotton. How about letting us
“gather” your subscription ?
Some folks sing, “If Jesus goes
with me I’ll go, anywhere,” but
we doubt it —even if he had a lan
tern.
When that 5,000 pounds of
“moonshine” sugar is turned loose
guess we’l! get some sweetnin' in
ourn. ,
Gen. Pershing recommends the
promotion of five generals, but
the name of Gen. Wood does not
appear.
If you want anything, this day
and time, you must go after it,
applies to towns as well as indi
viduals.
Sergeant York made a short
talk in Atlanta for which he real
ized SI,OOO. Still the claim is made
there’s nothing in a name.
The recommendation of the
grand jury in regard to autoists is
good and we hope their sugges
tion will be rigidly enforced.
Cotton pickin’ time
Just about over,
Ole nigger wid de possum
Soon be in clover.
Why condemn the opium and
cocaine habit when dopes are
more injurious, as it numbers, its
victims from the youngest to the
oldest.
On every side improvements
can be seen going on in McDon
ough. All we need to have a bet
ter town is to get a little more
hustle on us.
County Police.
Recommending the creation of
of the office of County Policeman,
the Jones county grand jury uses
this caustic language in their re
cent general presentments:
“While oQr best people are re
joicing over the triumphant spread
of temperance sentiment through
out the country, until State and
National governments have united
their au hority and might to de
stroy the nefarious liquor busi
ness, low grade citizens in our
midst, white and black, despising
government, have been making,
handling, selling and drinking in
toxicating liquors. We are amaz
ed and shocked by the fact that
some who occupy prominent po
sitions move in decent society and
pose as defenders of law and or
der, to allow themselves dragged
down by thirst for strong drink
into association and partnership in
criminal lawlessness with these
law-breakers, and buy, drink and
transport their illegal product.
Shall we count one who deliber
ately commits an unlawful act by
stilling intoxicants an unworthy
citizen and esteem their patrons
worthy of honor ? Let reason and
conscience answer.
“A stream of liquor and blood
has flown throughout our county
and sadly stained its fair name.
The shame stripes we would erase
if we could, but in a large measure
our hands are tied there are
none to molest. Under these con
ditions and growing tendencies,
we are convinced that action is
now necessary, and we therefore
recommend and earnestly urge
that our County Commissioner
create the office of County Police
man, and seek beyond the con
fines of the county, not even be
prescribed by State lines, in quest
of a man who measures up to the
requirements of such office. The
money paid such art officer as a
salary would be insignificant as
compared to the amount forced
out of the pockets of tax payers
for the trial of parties charged
with crimes as a direct result of
violations of the prohibion law, to
say nothing of the quiet and peace
that would pervade our homes
under the consciousness that they
had some protection.”
Advertising Increase.
In its issue of October 23, The
Dublin Courier-Herald carried an
eight page advertisement of the
Laurens Hardware Company and
it was so entertaining that we
sat still and read it. This is like
advertising is done in the big cities
and is what makes cities grow
large. We have often said to
timid merchants during the past
fifteen years that it would surely
come to pass in our day that
Yankees would not be the only
users of advertising. The time has
come within the past two years.
Maybe it is because the govern
ment used so many miles of news
paper inches for big and serious
work. Anyhow, all the papers,
big and little, are feeling the
change. Both farmers and mer
chants are using the ad that
travels fastest and cheapest and
stays at the home of a possible
customer, until he comes in, and
the printed salesman has endless
patience and never forgets its
speech. —Irwin Bulletin,
A Good Cough Medicine for Children
Mrs. J. W. Phillips, Redon, Ga.,
phoned to J. M. Floyd, the mer
chant there, for a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Cough Rouiedy and said
she bad bought a bottle of it at his
store recently- and that it was
doing her children so much good
that she wanted to keep up the
treatment. Yoq will find nothing
better for coughs and colds in chil
dren or for yourself. It keeps tlie
cough loose, expectoration easy and
soon frees the system from cold.

Only a Cold.
Are you ill ? is often answered :
“Oh ! it’s only a cold,” as if a cold
was only a matter of little conse
quence, but people are beginning
to learn that a common cold is a
matter not to be trifled with, and
that some of the most serious dis
eases start with a cold. As soon
as the first indication of a cold
appears take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Remember that the
sooner yon get rid of vonr cold the
less the danger, and this remedy
will help you throw it off. For
