U. S. Marine Recruit
ing Station Is Now
Open to Applicants
More than 50 Georgian youths
have enlisted in the United States
Marines during the past two weeks
according to a statement made by
Captain Peter C. Geyer, Jr., U. <5.
M. C., officer in charge of the re
cruiting station of the Marines in j
the Austell Building, Atlanta, Ga., i
a few days ago.
“It is true that 50 young men |
were accepted,” stated Captain
Geyer, “but in order to that
number, the medical examiner had
to pass on 500 applicants. It seems
that these successful want to join
the Marines because its a nnn’s
game—where they will store up
health and memories that will last
a lifetime. And they will get it
too —as the Mann s serve on lard
as well as at se \ and are never;
idle —always on the go, protecting
the interests of Uncle Sam i i for-1
ning present quarter; Mack John
son, SIO.OO per quarter, funds to
be paid to A. N. Brown.
It is with extreme regret that
we note that the majority of pre
sentments made to our body are
against white people. With the
advantage of churches and schools
enjoyed by our white citizens *it
would seem that conditions would
be otherwise, and we, therefore,
commend all the officers who are
making any toward enforcing the
laws of the State of Georgia for
their zeal.
Under the Roman iaw parents
had the power of life and death
over their children, and the same
is morally true today.
The home is the source from
which all currents of influence
flow to build up or destroy. The
wave of crime sweeping over our
laud now is due to the laxity of
home government, and we would
urgently suggest and recommend
that the fathers and mothers
would most seriously consider
Iheir natural and moral obligations
to instruct their children to have
the proper care and regard for
law and order, and this can be
done aad only done in the homes.
In taking leave of his Honorable
Judge W. E. H. Searcv, Jr., we
desire to thank him for his speedy
transaction of the business of the
countv and his evident desire to
reduce the cost of the Superior
court to the tax payers of said
county, as well as is hie desire to
secure the strict enforcement of
the laws.
And to our Solicitor General,
Hon. E. M. Owen, we desire to ex
tend the thanks of the entire body
to him. We commend his zeal
and ability in the enforcement of
the criminal laws.
We desire to thank our wdrthy
foreman, Mr. J. S. Hunt, for the
cartful, painstaking way in which
he has conducted this body.
We desire to thank our clerk, H.
C. Hightower, for his efficient
service.
To our worthy bailiff, Uncle
Wes Harper, wish to extend the
thanks of the entire body.
We recommend that these pre
sentmentrnents be published in
The Henry County Weekly and
that they be paid SIO.OO for the
same.
Respectfully submitted.

OBSERVER
Last Tuesday night about nine
o’clock the alarm of fire was heard
in McDonough, and it was first re
ported that the school building
was on fire, but it proved to be a
negro residence occupied by
Gaines Allen near Brown & Hir
kins ginnery. It was just outside
of the city waterworks system and
was a total loss, but the adjoining
buildings were saved.
Court held only a two-davs ses
sion this week and adjourned un
til Monday, Nov. 7. Several cases
were disposed of and Berry Thorpe
(colored) charged with murder,
was found guilty and sentenced to
life imprisonment. Judge Searcy
makes one of the best judges the
Flint Circuit has ever had, and
Solicitor E. M. Owen one of the
best and most successful officers
the Flint Circuit has ever had. Mr.
J. S. Hunt was the foreman of the
Grand Jury and H. C. Hightower
clerk.
If there ever was a time
when there should be a mutual
feeling of every one towards his
fellowm.m it is now. We are all
passing through one of the most
trying times since the Civil war.
There is just numbers and numbers
of good honest, hard working
farmers that are up against hard
luck on account of the short crop
this year, and with the boll wee
vil here it makes the outlook for
a crop next year look gloomy in -
deed. The situation looks veiy
discouraging for the farmers of
Henry County.

Making Extraordinary
Mileage a Certainty -
Car Owners want more rubber on the tread where the wear is
hardest; more gum between cord plies to perfect a resilient and
powerful carcass. And they want a scientifically constructed Non
Skid tread with all angles and contacts to resist skidding and give
sure traction. Firestone Cord Tires have met these demands of
the car owners.
Read Letters Below —
Records from 29.000 to 57.000 Miles
Cord Tires built the Firestone
way could not fail to produce
mileage. Every day, from all over
the country, comes the word that
10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 miles are
frequent and consistent records.

last Sunday afternoon was attend
ed by a good crowd and it was
one of the best singings that has
been held there in a long time.
Prof. T. J. Horton, of McDonough,
was chairman of the exercises.
There were plenty of leaders on
hand, and everybody present
seemed to be in the singing spirit.
It was one of these good old-time
real live singings. We regret that
we were unable to attend, but
hope to be present next time.
“How often would I have gath
ered thy children together, even
as a hen gathereth her chickens
under her wings and ye would
not.” "Behold your house is left
unto you desolate.” The above is
the words of Jesus Christ in the
23rd chapter of 'Matthew. Some
great evangelist is predicting that
these times are the perilous times
that will come before the end of
the world. It may be that we are
just entering into the perilous
times, and that it will get worse
until all the houses in the land
will be left desolate.
Sheriff Ward captured one of
the most crude, and cheapest liq
uor making outfits last Monday
night that was ever captured in
the county. It consisted of a tin
can for the boiler, an iron pipe
for the worm, which was run
through a cheap feed trou h as
the cooler. We have been hear
ing ever since we were a boy that
there was some loquor so sorry
and mean that it would make a
cat spit in a bull dog’s face, and
we ate satisfied that liquor made
on the above still would do that

in Tussahaw district last Thursday,
after a few days illness. He was
nbout 60 years of age and was
one of the county’s best citizens.
He leaves a wife, two sons, and
one daughter, and a host of friends
and relatives to mourn his death.
His remains were laid to rest at
Locust Grove Friday, after ap
propriate funeral services con
ducted by Rev. F. J. Flemine, of
Conyers.

Sunday’s issue of The Atlanta
Journal:
Revival in Douglas.
Douglas, G i., Oct. 22.—One of
the most interesting revivals
known in Douglas is now being
held under the auspices of all the'
churches. Rev. C. M. Dunaway,
Methodist evangelist is doing the
preaching and Mr. Edwards, of
Kentucky, has charge of the music.
AH the preachers and their con
gregations of all denominations of
the city have joined forces. The
revival at present is being held in
the First Baptist church and the
seating capacity is being taxed at
every night service although extra
chairs have been brought in to
fill all available spice.
People are coming to the serv
ices from the nearby towns and
some of the stores are closi ig and
taking their clerks during the dav
service.
Now and then they are empha
sized by unusual instances such
as quoted below. Performances
like these demonstrate the ulti
mate possibilities of Firestone
Cords under careful driving.

in the mileage that I obtained from the set of
Fireitono Cord tiro# on my Dodge coupe. The

first tire went over 29.-
000 miles. The second
tire rolled up a mileage
ol between 34,000 and
33,000. These were both
rear tires and had been
cut considerably by
chains. The two front
tires have gone better
than 33,000 miles and are
still in good condition. I
expect to get at least
40,000 miles from each of
them. I need scarcely
say that the Firestone
Cord will be my tire
choice for the future.
