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 put toother. and for years it was sup posed to h* Incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable.

Mail’s Family pills for constipattea 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?

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. A party of our young at tended services at New Hope Sun day night. Miss Sarah Mason, of White Plains, and Miss Aminie Hooten, of McDonough, are visiting Miss Florence Wynn this week. A large crowd attended the fun eral of Mr. VValter E. Gilmore Sun day. It. was indeed a sad occasion. Mr. Gilmore was loved and held in high esteem by a great concourse of friends. # Mount Bethel Sunday school has new song books and some of our yonng people are attending singing sohool at Sharon this week, The school is being taught by Prof. Jess Pendley.

Rivers will lead next Sunday night. The good rains have brought out the crops in a way that once seem ed almost impossible.
