Ihe Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIX SHERIFF WARD FINOS __m STILLS Sheriff W.ard at I ,d J. H. Rape, one day last week, found a still and arrested three negroes while the still was iy opperation, near Pleasant Grove school house. On last Saturday sheriff Ward A. D. Tingle, J. H. Rape and Tal Pattiilo found a still and 300 gal lons of beer near Ola. And on Monday n. m. sheriff Ward with Police Bailer Smith and chief Pattiilo made an arrest of a negro here in town who was in possession of whiekey namely: Bunk Weaver. “Run, nigger, run, or sheriff will ketch you. Run, nigeir, run, if you want to get away.” We wish to say right here that sheriff Ward is ever watchful and on his duty looking after the most needful things that should be looked after namely: the evils that are set to entangle our children, even near the school house door. What would become of the people of Henry county were it not for the fact that we have a conscien cious sheriff who is wide awake.

T. Carter’s and took from them their loving baby which was only two years old. It was too sweet and smart for this world of ours. The slowly rocked cradle ceased its rocking to and fro. From one who rock and loved it to the Heavenly Fathers arms it went. Then the parents pale with anguish knelt beside the little bed kissed the little waxen fingers as the softly, painfully said, Never more again my darling, will you suffer want or pain; Words can never reach you nor the pain of death again. God in loving mercy took it, for he loved the little child. Oh! my little snow white blossom, sinless pure and undefiled. Put away the little dresses that the little darling used to wear; It will need them on earth never, it has climed the golden stairs with in a beautiful casket cushion and curtained like a pure white rose of summer lay sweet little Wymons face. I take this lamb the Savior said, and lay them on my breast; Pro tection they shall find in me, and there be ever blest. His aunt. A FINE CROP Having heard a good deni of Gus Brannau’s crop, we took it in re cently. He has a twenty acre field of cotton, the best we have seen. It is full of blooms and squares from bottom to top. It was planted early; has been cal cium arsenated nine times and plowed weekly. We did not see a single form punctured by the B. W. In fact the frequent showers of calcium that are sprinkled on the crop makes it a poor home even for an enterpris ing boll weevil. Mr. Branan has a fine corn crop. His twenty-two acre pepper crop promises a net profit pf 4100 £ Mi.po rina io * hustler and deserves success.
