WEEKLY TIMES. nr fouche a joiixsox. 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. Wyatt—Moore. Married at the residence of the bride's mother, near Stark, ou Suudry the 27th ult., Mr. Geo. Wyatt, of Stockbridge, to Miss Annie Moore, of Stark, Rev. R- A. Eakes officiating. Mr. Wyatt is a prominent farmer of Stockbridge, and he is worthy of the pure girl whose heart and hand he has won. Miss An nie is oneof our most popular and much loved girls, and well deserves the manly man whom she has wedded. May the most choice blessings attend them ou their voyage through life. Friend.

Young men desiring to attend a Business College will find it to their advantage to call at this office before making arrange ments el sewbere. 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. ROCKY CREEK. Mr. Editor—After a long absence from the columns of your valuable pa per, if you will allow me I will try to keep up my corner in your paper. We have beeu tearing down and moving and packed up until we didn’t have el bow room to write, now our bouse is done and we liavent anything but room.

Oxford, the location of Emory col lege, is one of the most beautiful small towns in Georgia. It is situated about one mile from the Georgia railroad, in Newton county, forty miles east of At lanta. A street car line runs from the depot out to Oxford and also back to Covington, which is also about one mile from the railroad Midway is situated between the two. Emory Col lege, which is a quiet rural seclusion, invites to study. We call it rural be cause it is a small towu situated in the country noted for its quietude Below find prescribed admonition for your diurnal meditation : 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. John, Jr. MONT BT. JEAN.

IL‘« are ol' lor fa larrli Hun contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of srnell and completely’ derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such ar ticles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co , Toledo, O , contains no mercury, ar.d is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. Iti buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine, it is taken internally, and made in Tole do, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. by Druggists, price 7'2c. per bottle. Reports of the cotton crop received at the agricultural department show that there is only 75 per cent of a full crop. Southeast Georgia shows 77 per cent, East Georgia 74 per cent, Middle Georgia 72 per cent, South west Georgia 78 per cent, North Geor gia 77 per cent. This report shows a decrease of 7 per cent below the Octo ber report, and (daces the cotton aver age of Georgia next to the highest in 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.
