J. A. FOCCHB, Editor.
Entered at the postofliee at McDonough
Ga., as second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., Oct. IC, 1891.
Please Remember.
The money season is now here, and
while it is passing we kindly ask our
readers not to forget the small amount
due us for subscribtion. It is true each
subscription, isolated, is a small matter,
and to the individual is insignificant,
but several hundred summed up is a
very great help to us. Indeed, it is
impossible for us to get along without
these little mites, and we mean just
what we say when we tell you we need
the money—and need it now.
It is impossible for us to see each one
individually, and we trust you will
kindly hand in your subscription volun
tarily as early as possible. Please
send by some friend during court week,
if you don’t attend yourself.
Peddlers.
Henry county never had more ped
dlers than now. They go in all di
rections, sometimes worrying the peo
pie alrnose beyond endurance, and The
Weekly, among others, is opposed to
issuing license to these itinerants who
come in and temporarily disturb the
trade of a community. Our merchants
in town and couutry who are perma
nent and pay taxes year after year
ought to be protected in their business.
They are part of the community, they
help to build up its interests, and its
welfare to a large degree depends upon
them. If the public was materially
benefited by a contrary course, it might
be considered, for the greatest good to
to the greatest number ought to be the
motto of every government ; but to
suppose that itinerant peddlers, without
capital, cau sell good goods cheaper
than old experienced merchants, is to
suppose a thing contrary to all the
teachings of experience. This is a
matter that should be carefully consid
ered by the authorities.
Legal points.
If you sell property of any kind at
the market value there is an implied
warranty that it is all right, and you
must make it so if it is not.
No trade in real estate is binding
unless in writing.
If you buy a note that is past due—
you buy it at your risk—if you buy it
before it is due the signer cau’t plead
failure of consideration ou you.
If you have given a mortgage on
your crop, or slock and sell the crop
or stock without paying the mortgaged
debt you lay yourself liable to criminal
prosecution, the penalty is a fine double
the amouut of the debt and in default
of payment you go to jail.
More Arrests.
Sheriff Glass arrested three negroes
last Tuesday that are suspected of
burning the barn of Mr. John McKib
ben, in Tussahaw district, some time
since.
On Wednesday they had their com
mittment trial before their Honors,
Esquires J. W. Maxwell and A. F.
Bunn. After hearing the evidence in
the case the court saw fit to bind two
of the suspects over, while the third
was released. It is generally thought
that the Sheriff has captured the right
parties.
Also, on the same day Dave Waters,
col., was tried before the same court,
on the charge of incestuous fornication,
but the State failed to make out a case
and the prisoner was released.
What Does it Mean ?
“100 Doses Oue Dollar” means sim
ply that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most
economical medicine to buy, because it
gives more for the money than any oth- j
er preparation. Each bottle contains I
100 doses and will average to last a
mouth, while other preparations, taken
according to directions, are gone iu a
week. Therefore, be sure to get Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, the best blood purifier.

We received this week a copy of the
Alliance News, a weekly newspaper
but recently established at Gunters
ville, Ala., with W. W. Harper as ed
itor. Mr. Harper was a former resi
lient of this county, and was for quite a
while a member of The Weekly’s
corps of correspondents. The editor of
this paper joins his many old friends
here in wishing him unbounded success
in the broad field of journalism.
Columbus is recognized as one of
the best cotton markets in the State,
and the Enquirer Sun says the best
price paid there for the week ending
last Saturday night was cents. We
cite the above from this prominent
point to prove that we are correct in
quoting McDonough among the best of
markets. For the same time our buy
ers frequently paid above that price,
and the last notch of what can be af
forded always rules here.
The last grand act of the Georgia
legislature was performed yesterday—it
adjourned.
Xlie l’oor of Our County.
We have an institution in our coun
ty, known as the ‘-poor farm.” All
who are destitute and without personal
friends to provide for their necessities,
are expected and required to go to the
poor house, which is a place located in
our county, for the purpose of providing
for, and taking care of all those who
are so destitute of the common com
forts of this life, that constitutes them
paupers. To be a pauper is certainly
an unenviable condition, for auy poor
human being to be placed in. The
question we want to ask is, is it human
and right, to cotnpell those poor old
negroes, that are scattered here and
there over our county, to go to this
place, before they can procure any aid
to keep them from starvation. Some
of them are almost imbeciles, and if
carried away from their old home and
placed among strangers who they nev
er saw before, would lose what little
sense they had, and if not closely guar
ded, would make an effort to get away,
and wander off into the woods and die
perhaps. There is one of that ‘class
here on my premises, a poor old afitic
ted negro woman. I have done what I
could for her, still she needs more help
than she gets. Now would it be con
sistent with the laws of humanity, to
force this poor old negro to go to our
county poor house, or forfeit all her
claim on the charity of the county! 1
Rather than go away from her old
home where she has spent sevonty
years of her life she would prefer to
die, and find her last resting place
here at the old grave yatd, where her
mother and six of her children sleep
Scores of her grand children have been
gathered at the old home grave yard.
Cases of this sort ought to have some
consideration on the part of our coun
ty authorities. A little help rendered
to such poor dependant creatures, would
i*id them very much, in battling their
way out to the end of lifes journey.
God save the poor, from ever becoming
wlioly dependant on the charity of the
world. W. T. G.

A KECII'K FOR A I)AV.
Apply a small quantity of water cold.
And forget not thy morning prayer ;
Then a bit of genial morning gold
Dissolved in the morning air.
Supplement to your repast some merriment,
And a reflection for friends and kin ;
After which as your prime ingredient
Enough work should be thrown in.
But flavor it all with essence of love,
And “no harm of any one say,”
Let the sage old Book and a thought for
above
Cornpl etc the recipe for the day.

the Southern States.
Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
and often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “ all gone ”
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and Irregu
larity of the bowels, are
DI stress some of the more common
After symptoms. Dyspepsia does
_ .. not get well of itself. It
bating requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates the digestion, creates a
good appetite, and by thus Sick
overcoming the local symp- u . .
toms removes the sympa- nGßCtflCn©
thetlc effects of the disease, banishes the
headache, and refreshes the tired mind.
“ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had but little appetite, and what I did eat
Uporf. distressed me, or did me
Mean- mti e good. 11l an hour
burn after eating I would expe
rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling,
as though I had not eaten anything. My trou
ble, I think, was aggravated by my business,
which is that of a painter, and from being
more or les3 shut up In a Sour
room with fresh paint. Last .
spring I took Hood's Sarsa- OtOmaCfl
rilla—took three bottles. It did me an
immense amoqift of good. It gave me an
appetite, and my food relished aud satisfied
the craving I had previously experienced.”
