What Our County Paper
Means to Us.
As we are celebrating the One
Hundredth Anniversary of Henry
county, we desire, as citizens, to
speak a word fur our county pa
per. We do not know how old
the dear old WEEKLY is, but we
do know that it has been an im
portant factor in the growth and
and advancement of the county
for many years, and in celebrating
our centenary we feel that the
success uf the occasion is largely
due to the efforts THE WEEKLY
has put forth in making prepara
tion for this the greatest day in
our history.
We as a people do not appreci
ate a county paper as we should,
and we forget the importance cf
having a go d county paper. This
issue of The. Weekly wiil vividly
recall memories of the past to a
large number of its readers, and
we wish we had the figures to
give the history of The Weekly
from its beginning up to the pres
ent.
The success of our great cele
bration lias depended entirely, al
most on The Weekly, which has
been the medium through which
to give publicity. Editor B. S.
Elliott and The Weekly force de
sei ve tlie credit for making the
occasion a success.
Our clever and efficient Editor
is a new man in the newspaper
business, and is putting forth
every effort to give us a good
paper, and he deserves the hearty
support of every citizen and busi
ness man.
When any important event oc
curs in our county, and prepara
tions are to he made to have such
an event as we on the 14th, the
burden of the responsibility al
ways falls on the newspaper anu
success depends largely on what
ever attitude it takes in the matter.
In conclusion, we want to say
that our good (sld Henry County
Weekly deserves the hearty sup
port of all our people,
“Citizen.”

We wish to think onr friends
for each act of kindness shown us
in the death of our husband and
father. May God’s kindest bless

Donough was too big a tiling for
a newspaper paragraph, and so we
refrain from an attempt to abbre

There Is more Catnrrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to he incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con
ditions and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
cine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional
remedy, is taken internally and acts
thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. One Hundred Dollars re
ward is offered for any case that Hall’s’
Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.
