In Memory.
On August 9, 1921, the death
angel visited the home of Mr. Ray
mond Hooten and took from him
his darling wife. Dollie, as we all
knew her, was just 23 years of
age, just in full bloom of life. She
was borned and raised in Henry
county about four miles east of
-McDonough. In 1914 she was
converted and became a member
of Bethany church; was married
• ; o Mr. Raymond Hooten, also of
this county, on Dec. 24, 1916. It
seemed so hard to give her up,
but God in His wisdom saw fit to
take her home to Himself. She
had a sweet smile and cheerful
word for every one she met. To
know her was to love her.
Our Dollie from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
She leaves a husband and a tiny
'babe just 3 days old, little Dollie
Beatrice, and a father, mother,
five sisters, four brothers and a
host of other relatives and friends
to mourn her going. Her remains
were laid to rest in Bethany ceme
tery Wednesday afternoon at 3
o’clock, Rev. Arnold conducting
t funeral service. May God’s rich
est blessings rest on her grief
.stricken loved ones is our prayer.
Her devoted friend,
Genie.
Tribute to j. N. Gardner.
It is sadness to sense to look to
the grave, but gladness to faith to
4ook beyond it.
‘ln the passing of J. N. Gardner,
a good husband, father, neighbor,
and friend has gone to meet his
reward.
When quite a young man, Mr.
Gardner joined the Baptist church.
He loved the church and was al
ways seen at church on the Sab
bath and at prayer meeting. He
liked to sing the songs of praise
to his Master and testify. His tes
timony was always, “I want to live
to be a better man, and to serve
.my Lord more and more.”
Indeed he was a good neighbor
always ready to lend a helping
hand, and to cheer with a smile
and a kind word, His neighbors
are now expressing themselves
day by day as to how much they
miss him.
On Mr. Gardner’s death-bed he
said, “I have not anything against
'anybody.”

“Peach Fever.’’
The price of peach trees in large
quantities was the main topic dis
cussed at the meeting of the Butts
County Fruit Growers Association
I Friday afternoon. Quite a num
ber of the members were present,
though rain interfered somewhat
with the attendance.
For trees 18 to 24 inches a price
of $82.50 per thousand, delivered
in Jackson, was made by the Bil
-1 dad Nursery Company, of Tenn
essee. A price of $95.00 was
made for trees two to three feet.
The association discussed vari
ous methods buying of and it was
left with the individual members
1 to make their own purchases.
A considerable number of or
ders are being taken, it is stated.
It is likely that approximately
100,000 peach trees will be plant
ed in Butts county this fall. The
varieties meeting with most favor
are Elbertas, Hiley and Carmen.
Flovilla and the territory adjacent
thereto will plant a large acreage
to peaches, according to reports.
The largest acreage will be in
territory adjacent to Jackson and
Flovilla, both of which have the
some advantages in shipping.
The “ peach fever” has taken a
pretty firm grip on a large num
ber of citizens and the industry
will be tried out here on a large
scale. The fact that the boll
weevil is rapidly eating up the
cotton is an argument being used
to good advantage in making Butts
county a large peach center.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
Advertising Is Not Neces
sary?
A merchant in a nearby town
told a Weekly reporter the other
day that there was no business
anyway, so why should he adver
tise? And that reminds us of the
hen who quit scratching because
there was a scarcity of worms. It
seemed to be a bad year for
worms; the hen didn’t see any of
the wriggling varmints trying to
make themselves an honest meal
for a hungry chicken, and the hen
soon began to have the appear
ance of a run-down fowl.
The owner noticed the run down
appearance, caught the hen, killed
her and threw the carcass to the
“hawgs”—and the moral is this;
“Don’t let your business get that
run-down appearance or some of
vour best customers might get it
into their heads that you are ready
for the financial graveyard, and
pass you up like a pay-car passes
a tramp.”
Let’s keep advertising.
Of course, when a man becomes
a constant target of criticism it is
possible that his brain is working
faster than those of his critics.
There is always happiness in
this world for some one. As the
summer wanes the tears of the ice
dealer bring cheers from the coal i
man.
No, we have no faith in the
rumor that physicians recommend
a change of climate when they:
find that the patient has no money !
left.
The comptroller of the currency
complains that too many banks
are being started. His warble is
less distressing than that of the
depositors when one stops.
