McDonough, Ga., Nov. 21, 1919.
It’s alright to get the Christmas
habit —but not the intoxicating
kind.
The Henry County Fair next
year is going to be a humdinger
and don’t you forget it.
The world needs workers not
strikers. Men that will stay on
the job in the hour of need.
The cry of. peace, peace, seems
to be a misnomer, since the good
book says there is no peace.
The rumor that Jack Frost
knocked out the boll weevil in the
first round lacks confirmation.
How can you expect a man to
love his neighbor as himself, when
he has no mercy Hir his own car
cass ?
In the miners strike, as in
everything else, Uncle Sam has
shown himself master of the situ
ation.
‘‘What are you going to do if
you don’t answer the roll call?”
Griffin News. Go to the guard
house of course.
The hand of Providence has
guided the hand of Woodrow
Wilson in all of his undertakings,
hence his success.
It is the duty of every citizen of
Henry county to contribute to the
memorial hall in honor of our
boys who fell in France.
The laborer is worthy of his
hire. But many are clamoring for
more wages who do not earn
what they already receive.
With the completion of Dr.
Smith’s mammoth power plant,
great things may be expected for
McDonough’s improvement,
r
The strike agitators are gener
ally tellovvs who get big salaries
not the fellow who earns his liv
ing by the sweat of his brow.
t
Uncle Sam has been too lenient
with the I. W. W.’s, but will draw
the line tighter since their cow
ardly murder of a number of
soldiers in an Armistice Day
parade.
Much has been said about Mc-
Donough and its environments,
all of which are true, but what we
need most of all is more unity of
purpose and get-together policy.
A town pulling two ways at the
same time never gets anywhere.
There is but one solution for
universal peace, and that is the
sabre of Christianity, which has
won more battles than all the shot
and shell in Christendom. It does
not take life but preserves it, and
carries joy instead of sorrow to
to the hearts of all. There is but
one way to obtain peace*, and that
is* fa 1 all to bathe themselves in
the blood of the martyr of Cal-
Vc .-y, practice and preach His
teachings. Then and not until
then will we have peace. God
SDeed the day when all with one
accord can truthfully exclaim: “I
am a follower of the meek and
lowly Nazarene.”
Enforcement of the
New School Law.
I wish to put teachers, trustees
and patrons on notice, and at the
same time give warning, that the
State Board of Education will
strictly enforce the new coinpul
sory attendance law. This law
goes into effect Jan 1, 1920.
See that each child is enrolled
and that a written excuse is given
for absence and sent into the
Board of Education.
Respectfully,
T. J. HORTON, C. S. S.
Sec. 172. Any parent, guardian
or other person who has charge
and control of a child between the
ages aforesaid, and who wilfully
fails to comply with the foregoing
requirements shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine
not to exceed ten dollars for first
offense, and not to exceed twenty
dollars for each subsequent of
fense, said fines to include all
costs; but the court trying the
case may, in its discretion, suspend
enforcement of the punishment, if
the child be immediately placed in
attendance at a school as afore

tinued regularly for the number
of months hereinbefore prescribed

ance may be proved by an attest

as to the child referred to in said
notice, may prevent prosecution
on the charge set out therein, by
giving, at any time before such
prosecution is instituted, a bond
in the penal sum of fifty dollars
payable to the Ordinary of the

proved by the Ordinary, condi
tioned that the said person shall
thence fully comply with the re
quirements of this section as to

failure of a parent, guardian or
other person in charge and con
trol of a child as aforesaid, after
the expiration of ten days from
such notice, to cause the child to
attend school, when such attend
ance is required by this section,
shall constitute a separate offense.
In prosecutions under this section
the exemptions and excuses here-
in provided fur shall he matters of
defense to be established by the
accused, and need not be negativ
ed in the indictment of accusation.

Teachers.

| Boards of Education to investigate

A i ood Cough Medicine for Children
I .Mrs. J. W. Phillips, Redon, Ga.,
! phoned to J . M. Floyd, the mer
chant there, for a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy and said
sho had 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. You will find nothing

cough loose, expectoration easy and
soon frets 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 you get rid of your cold the
less the danger, and this remedy
will help you throw it off. For

■Buick Five-Passenger Touring Car
THE BUICK Model K-Six-45 is a very capable open car
for five persons, designed to cover the multitude of uses
to which such a car is put. It differs from the big seven
passenger model only in tonneau and chassis length,
possessing the same degree of ruggedness, easy-flowing
power and mechanical excellence.
The tonneau is even more liberally proportioned. The seat is full
three-passenger capacity, set at a comfortable angle. The sides are
upholstered clear to the doors with the same French pleated leather
used on the cushions and seat backs. Each of the four doors is
equipped with a side pocket for storing small parcels. The instrument
board is illuminated by a dash lamp. Top and side curtains are made
of high grade fabric, the curtains swinging open with the doors.
Behind the front seat is a very convenient pocket for storing the
side curtains when not in use.
