Id-day I have spent among the elev er people of the old tiiuiest town iu middle Georgia— McDouough, the capi ul of old lien ry. It dates away back to the ’twenties, and the ancient court house was built in 1H27, ami they say there is a chest nut stump in its foundations cut smooth when tlie wood - of Henry county were green and the virgin waters clear as crystal. Henry was a buster, extending from Broad river to the four winds of heav en. She is the mother Butts, Fulioti, Spalding and half a dozen others,; and the grandma of Atlanta, Griffin, Jones boro and the Lord knows how many more. In the palmy days of imperial Hen ry, McDonough, named for the famous Uomtnodoie McDonough, was a stirring place. The great si age coach line lead ing from New York to New Orleans made it a relay station, and a number of other stage lines intersected at this famous halting place It was then that tie merchants haul ed their goods from Augusta over the hills so merrily. A big brick store was built here in the thirties, the first and the largest in all this section Tradition lias forgot ten the name of the man who built it, but “the brick house” was the wonder and glory of the country for miles around. Folks who had any means would ilrive many miles to gift to trade at “the brick house”, rather than buy their things at a common shanty. The lathing wai riven out with a frougll aud the plastering was put on two inches thick, and it’s here yet and here to stay like the substantial brick walls. Mr. C. A. McKibben occupies it now with a iarge stock of goods, and Mr. H. C. Turnet occupies the house adjoining chuck full of choice goods. The most of the other stores, of which ihere are a number of very handsome ones, occupied by such prominent mer chants as T. A. Sloan & Co., on one side, and the Stewart Mercantile Co. on the other, have been built since the war. At one time there were thirty-five or forty stores here, but now there are not more than half bo many, but they are all occupii d by a thriving and prosper ons set of merchants. The five or six hotels have simmered down to one, the Brown hotel, which is one of the best of its sort. McDonough came very near being Atlanta If the Monroe railroad had come here, and the Georgia road, which was surveyed through the town at first, had both come here, what might the city of McDonough not have been ? The old timey folks objected, how ever, as they feared a railroad would scare the horses and injure the wagon trade, and that's how it came that Mc donough failed to be a Metropolis. At one time a lot of the best bouses were hauled from here to Griffin, aud some of the best citizens of the place cariied their money and houses with them. And then such men as the late Wil liam Markham, Healy. ex-Mayor Glenn, lather of the Hon. Tom, went away to Atlanta and carried their cash with them. McDonough has seen rough times, hut she holds a stiff upper lip, even till to day when the sun o( a new pros perity shines upon her. Henry county was laid out in 1822, mid in 1825 the first court house was built. The first court was presided ov er by tbe ilintinguished Judge Clay ton. But one of the most unique facts connected with her history is that iu 1828 Samuel W. Minor established The Jacksonian, a weekly paper here, which was the first to nomiuate Andrew Jackson for the presidency. How long the paper lasted history does not state, hut the McDouough Weekly, published by Editor Fouche, is the last of the long lineage, and rep resents the interests of McDonough anil Henry county most worthily. The town is blessed with a fine school under the superintendence of Professor O E. Ham. a most accom plished educator, who as principal, as sisted by Profess >r S. W. Du Bose, a very able teacher m the intermediate, Mrs. O. E. Ham in the kindergarten and Miss Mamie Ellis, music has done a great work teaching 144 pupils with an average attendance of 90 to 100 McDonough Institute is a two-story framed building, five rooms, web fur uished throughout with patent desks, blackboards, wall maps and so on. Pro fessor Ham has held the position of principal for the past six years, and has given universal satisfaction. To sura it all up, there is no health ier, quieter and more orderly town in middle Georgia than this! It has three handsome churches, Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian, all with large con gregations. The country is fertile an! especially adapted to fruit growing and grape raising. Colonel G. W. Bryan has an orchard ond vineyard of nine acres near town, where he grows the finest of peaches, pears, apples and grapes, from which be raises quantities of wine. Mr. Nolan, agent for the East Ten nessee railroad, at whose beautiful home 1 was most cordially entertained, has one of the finest homes in the town, and he is every inch a gentleman rail roader.

For n Handsome New Haptlst Church at McDonough. That is what we hear. And the probability is that it will be built duiing next year. The movement lias merely been dis cussed and five members have already proposed to suscribe four thousand dol larg. A responsible gentleman tells The Weekly that the other half cun be raised without difficulty. And it may cost ten thousand! A number of the prominent mem bers who will contribute liberally have uot yet been approached at all. They are abundantly able, and when they get it they propose to have an edifice that will do for all time. It is to be of brick, and probably located on the vacant lot of Mr. Frank Turner. May we be able to record its com pletion right soon ! Mr. J. I’. Fannin ai d Miss Oliie El liott were married by ’Squire J. B Rowan, ut his residence in Flippen dis trict last Sunday evening, Nov. 29th It was the first ceremony which ’Squire Rowau has been called upon to per form, which we understand was most satisfactorily aud creditably done. The happy y’oung couple have many friends who congratulate them and wish them all the joys and pleasures of life. Read the advertisement of Mr. 11. W. Carmichael in another column and remember him when you want wagons, buggies or anything in his line. Mr. Carmichael has bought out the Turnip seed shops, and being one of the best and foremost farmers of our county is prepared perhaps better than most any body to know the exact needs of his customers, and he is determined to keep the establishment first class throughout. He seems to be the right man iu the right [dace. Sale day was largely attended Tues day aud lots of laud changed hands. Despite the hard times it brought good prices, some of it reaching excellent figures. The Welch place, containing 330 acres, was purchasotl by Mr. Paul Turner at $2400; the Tomlinson place, 130 acres, by Dr. C. D. McDonald at 51025; and one 40 acre lot of the Win. Fargason estate brought the handsome sura of SBOO, or S2O per acre, bought by Mr. Archie McGaiity. Hard times or no hard times, these public sales set tie the fact, without argument, that Henry county lands are valuable and still in demand. Rev. J E. Rosser will leave the first of next week to attend the annual sess ion of the North Georgia Conference. Last Sunday being the fifth, he preach ed his farewell sermon to the Me Don ough church, and next Sunday will fill his last regular appointment at Lo cust Grove Brother Rosser is an able preacher and an excellent pastor, and the people of McDonough, without re gard to church, love him for his con scientious devotion and faithful work. So far as we can learn it is the unani mous desire here that he be returned, though he is inclined to think he will be sent elsewhere Wherever he goes, may heaveu’s richest blessings follow him. No other preparation combines the positive economy, the peculiar merit and the medicinal power of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. FOR SALK.

This is the best schedule McDon ough has ever had and gives eutire satisfaction to our people. Keep Your lilooil Pure. One of the most frequent and insid ious causes of had health is impure blood. I bis disorder of the system doeH not always manifest itself outward ly by sores, eruptions, etc., quite often the soreness is altogether internal. The kidneys feel sore, the liver feels sore the lungs feel sore, and a decay sets in, that too often ends fatally. It is much more serious for blood poison to mani fest itself internally than externally. In such cases neglect means death, for the vita 1 organs once contaminated grow worse unless they grow better, anti they will never grow better unless the poper remedy is applied. There is no remedy tiiat equals Dr. John Hull's Harimparillii as a curative agent in cases of blood poison. When other remedies misera bly fail to give relief, this remedy al ways checks its terrible ravages, even in iustauces of scrofula or syphilis, and restores the blood to a state of absolute purity. Large bottle 192 (tea spoon fuls) SI.OO. A physician of Waco, Texas, writes: “I know a number of instances of severe cases of blood poison being cured by Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, no other remedy or treatment, being made use of, I consider that no better blood medicine is manufactured.” Prof. Du Bose has engaged Mr. J. C. Daniel as one of thu faculty of Mc- Donough Institute for next year, and is negotiating with Miss Tippora Har rell, to secure her services also.
