HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
In Loving Memory
Of Mrs. Mattie Berry
Died at her home in our city
Mrs. Mattie Berry.
From the citizens of this fair
town that she loved so well, day
after day went up the silent pray
er:
“Not here. O Death, not here,
Is there no other flowers for thee to takef
All the world is thine, and for its sake
Oh! come not here.”
But alas, “Death loves a shining
mark” —and so it came.
In the death of Mrs. Berry we
fully and keenly realize our loss.
She was a true friend, and her
devotion to those she loved would
make a bright chapter in any life.
Nothing but the thought of the
loving hand that has removed her
can reconcile us to her absence.
While she has gone from the
scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows
and pleasures of life, she will still
live in the hearts of those who
knew her best. Her retiring na
ture led her to hide her best qual
ities from public gaze, but they
were revealed to those who en
joyed her acquaintenance, vet it
was in her home that her true
worth was most conspicuous. She
was a kind, loving mother, and
her devotion to the family circle
had no limit.
The sunshine of love couid not
warm her to life nor the affection
of parenthood beguile her from
drooping. The breath went out
like the exhaltation of a sweetly
fragrant minion of the woodland
and in her stead was left only a
holy and beautiful memory—a
memory that will last and sanctfiy
as long as parental existence.
“God touched her with His fing
er, and she slept,” the poet wrote.
So may we say of this dear life —
“God touched her with His finger,
and she alept,” but not until a
beautiful life was lived, a noble
example of patience, fidelity to
truth and faith were given. Not
until visions of a heavenly life, in
Christ Jesus, had cheered and il
lumined the vallav of the shadow.
And now, that she sleeps, memory
takes up the harp of life, and smit r
ing the strings, finds that her vir
tues melt into music. So it ever
is, when a life is nobly and divine
ly lived.
Life will never be quite the same
to those who knew her, while
those who were neareat to her —
Messrs. R, L. and W. M. Berry,
Misses Anna arid Ella Berry —will
long for her with unutterable long
ings—long for a mothers counsel
apd advice, and a mothers gentle
and loving sympathy. She was a
woman of strong Christian char
acter; patient, loving nad self-sar
rificing.
“Mourn not the lost! in realms of change
less glad cess,
Where friendships’ ties are never crushed
and broken, we stiii may meet;
He who beholds our sadness
Hath to the trusting heart assurance spok
en of that blest land, where, free from
care and pain,
Fond friends unite again.”
Whether it be fiction or fact, it
is rather interesting to read one
day that the interest of the ten
billions of dollars owed to us by
the allies is not to be collected for
fifteen years, and the next day to
learn that Washington plans to
use it in the payment of a bonus
t# ex-seryice men.
Th#r* Is more Catarrh In tW« section
of ths country than all other diseases

local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
It incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con

In Your Idle Hours.
While resting in the .cool shade
these hot days why not let your
thoughts dwell upon this town
and countryside—upon what they
need, what you can do for them,
and upon how you can spur others
to greater exertions in behalf of
our community life?
They need more thought, deep
er concentration, greater action.
Many a great and ennobling
deed receives its inception in an
idle moment. The hours of work
and action serve but to expand
and develop it.
It might be so with the idle
thought of yours, with this com
munity of ours.
No town is ever so perfect but
what it might become a hundred
per cent more so. Even ours is
no exception to the rule.
Cool off in the shade if you feel
so inclined.
Let your thoughts wander afield,
and gather in the ideas of fancy
that may later crystalize into a
greater and better community de
velopment.
We add a new coat of paint to
our house and gaze upon the fin
ished product with pride. Its im
proved appearance more than jus
tifies the labor and expense.
And if improvement is good for
the home of the individual, why
not for the community as a whole?
Let your hours of idleness be
get others of energy and aggress
iveness.
It ennobles yourself and en
hances your yalue to the com
munity.
It develops the community and
increases its value to vou.
The British government qwes
the government of the United
States some billions of dollars of
money borrowed from us during
the war. None of the principal
has ever been paid, and only a
small pittance of the interest due
has been collected. The United
States owed England $35,000,000
for transporting American soldiers
to France in British ships. The
British presented their bill the
other day and the government at
Washington promptly paid it. In
the meantime thousands of .our
disabled soldiers are neglected and
in want. Can you beat it?

MOUNT BETHEL NEWS.
All the year we’ve been think
ing there would be a very email
fruit crop and have complained
qnite a bit about it. Now that we
have “hewn deep, and deeper” into
the work of canning, drying, pick
ling, preserving and jellying fruit,
there seems to be no end in sight.
There is fruit world without end,
the fruit crop is immense.
Take this with a grain of salt if
you care to. —I’m pretty tired
right now and may have stretched
my story some.
