Newspaper Page TextWEEKLY 5 TIMES. BF FOUCUE & JO ay SON. J. A. FOUCHE, Editor. Entered at the postoffice at McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., Dec. 18, 1891. Died. Mr. John Morris died at his home, about six miles north of this place, on Thursday the Bth inst., of typhoid fe ver, after an illness of about two weeks duration. His remains were interred in the fam ily burying ground, after appropriate funeral services. Mr. Morris was a splendid specimen of manhood, just in the full bloom of all bis powres, when the grim destroyer came and cut short his promising life. He leaves a young and devoted wife, and numerous relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Can Voh Kat Heartily, with relish, and without dis tress afterward ? If not, we recom mend ta you Hood’s Saasaparillr, which creates a good appetite and so invigo rates the stomach and bowels that the food is properly digested and all its nu triment assimilated. Hood’s Pills are purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, effective, but do not ciuse pain or gripe. Be sure to get Hood’s. Died, At his late home on Tuesday evening the 7th of Dec., 1891, Robert M. Wal ker. The subject of this brief notice was born on the 29th of March, 1822, being at the time of his death, in his seventieth year. Mr. Walker was a life long citizen of Henry county, and was too well known by his many friends for me to speak of him in an extended notice of his general traits of character. It was ever a source of pleasure to him to meet with his friends. lie was mar ried to Eliza I. Atkins in the year 1844. His long and tedious affliction was a source of great anxiety to friends, and especially to his family. Still his dear companion and devoted children never grew weary in their constant attention to supply every want that lay in their power to bestow. Be it said to the credit of his youngest boy, Bob VVal ker, Jr., and his son-in-law, Bob Chap pell, no afflicted father ever had two nobler boys. But the all night lamp that burned bo long has at last been ex tinguished, and the old man is quietly resting in his grave. While our hearts are bowed in saduesa and sorrow, thanks be to God, we sorrow not as those who are without hope. Our old friend had not neglected to put his trust iu God. He had long relied upon the atoning blood and merit of his savior, and during his long aflliction he fre quently spoke of his approaching end, and told his companion and children that he was not afraid to die. He is not dead but sleeping, and though he were dead, yet shall he live again. Peace to his slumbering dust until we hail him again iu the “sweet bye and bye.” W. T. G. MONT BT. JEAN. Rev. F. M. Henderson, U. D.. preached a fine sermon at Mt. Cariuel M. P. church last Sunday. Rev. Langford, the pastor for this yea 1 , preached a very fine sermou also on Saturday. He comes with tho reputa tion of a thorough Christian gentle man. We visited Lovejoy last week and found that ever genial gentleman, Rev. G. A. Hill, doing a fine business. He is so clever that he always has a good crowd to trade with him. While there we also called to see clever Tom Me- Vicker. Tom has a splendid stock of furniture, and sells a “sight of it.” No young man has more energy, pluck aud business about him than Tom. But he inherited it from A. V., who, by the way, is oue of the mast genial men in the county. Miss Kthel Fields, daughter of Mr. J. T. Fields, is learning music very fast under one of the best teachers in the Stale, Miss Annie Green, of Nor cross. She has captivated some of the young men in this community, so they would like for her to make this her fu ture home; but we are fearful that some gallant knight from her own home has won the prize. The debating society at the school house near Mr. W. A. Mays' is on a boom Some fine speakers were on baud last Saturday night, Kev. A. U. McKenzie, Col. Wise of your town, Joe Floyd J. K. Hood and others. The many friends of Rev. W. B. Costley sympathize with him in the misfortune of getting three of his ribs brokeu by a run a-way mule. How to Cart All NUin His. easts.” Simply apply “Swayne's Ointment.” No internal medicine required. Cures tetter, eczema, itch, all eruptions on tLe face, bands, nose, Ac., leaving the skin clear, white and healthy. Its great healing and curative powers are posessed by no other remedy. AbW your druggist for •Swathe's Ointment. We ure proud to see that Mrs, W. E. Alexander is improving, and hope she will soon be weli again. Mr. J. B Brown and family visited us last week, and Mrs. J. S. Aiken spent several days with us this week. ' A great deal of moving going on, but none of our neighbors will leave except Mr. John Pendley. Bad crop year and low prices for cot ton decs not prevent marrying, and th« good work is going on at a rapid rate. W. It. Mays has moved near the Grove W. 11. Tarpley says he can’t do ev erything at the same time and go to mill too. J. O. Tarpley will live with W. O. tarpley next year. Now we lay our pen away — We write no more til 1 after Christmas day. We have lived to see 1891 through— We will write more in 1892. Oi.d Guard. lIOCKY CREEK. li. 11. Greer, of Lovejoy, is erecting a new room to his house near Rocky Creek. Mr. A. I). Martin went up to Atlan ta last week, on a mule trading expedi tion, and brought back a fine young mule. Mr. Warren Barnett is lying very dangerously ill, and is not expected to live many days. N. N. Nash is getting lather old, but lie would like to iuforin the horse trad ing public that he is yet in business. Last Saturday while L. 11. Pursley and 11. 11. Greer were working and fin ishing the roof of Rocky Creek church, Thomas D Stewart, of McDonough, came along and climbed to the top of the house, where they were, and just open ed his big heart, and gave ua twenty dollars to paint the church. Mr. Stew art is every inch a gentleman and a true Christian and he enjoys going about doing good ; and he could not have put ♦20.00 where it would have been more highly appreciated. Jf wo only had more just such men as Thos. D. Stew art, of McDonough. Many thanks, brother. Mrs. L. 11. Pursley was thrown from a road cart las' Friday and was pain fully hurt, but not seriously. A. S. Martin went up to liockmart last week on a prospecting tour. We never saw wheat looking better for the time of year and we are glad there is so much of it sowed. We will now wisli The Weekly and all its readers a merry Christinas and a happy new year. And es pecially for the Editors a merry Christ mas and a good week’s rest from their labor. Now we will lay our pencil iu the rack and bid it rest until 1892. Abram Keep Your lilootl I’iire. One of the most freijucut and iusid ions causes of bad health is impure blood. This disorder of the system does 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 poisou to mani fest itself internally than externally. In such cases neglect means death, for tho vita 5 organs once contaminated grow worse unless they grow better, ana they will never grow better unless the poper remedy is applied. There is no remedy that equals Dr. John Bull’ll Sui>aj>arillu 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 instances of scrofula or syphilis, and restores the blood to a state of absolute purity. Large bottle 102 (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 I)r. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, no other remedy or treatment, Iteing made use of, I consider that no better blood medicine is manufactured.” I.ciive lo Nell. GEORGI A—Henrv County.

K of 11., Dec. 14, 1891. | God, iu His alwise providence, has seen fit to take from our midst, on Oct. 30th, 1891, our dearly beloved brother Death is sad under all circumstances, hut especially is it so when a good cit izen, a good neighbor and a true friend is taken from a community and from a family in the prime of manhood, as it were, when bis usefulness was being felt iu all the walks of life. Such was the fact in regard to our beloved broth er, W. W. Turnipsecd. In the community he was an enter prising and useful citizen ; iu the church, a consistent Christian, in our order a shining light. At home he was a faithful husband and a devoted father. In his last aflliction he was patient and resigned, able to exclaim, “1 have fought a good fight, i have finished my course, I have kept the laitb. O, death, where is thy sting? O, grave, where is thy victory ?” Therefore be it resolved, That in the death of our esteemed Senior member and brother, W. W. Turuipseed, we have lost oueof our most devoted broth ers, ever ready to do his duty, and even more if necessity made the requi sition. That iu his death we mourn his loss and deeply sympathize with his bereav ed family an I friends. Resolved further that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the fam ily and given the county papers for publication. L. A Folsom, W. M. Harris, K. D. Hawkins, Committee.

CalarrH Is a constitutional and not a local disease, and therefore it cannot be cured by locat applications. It requires a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the Impurity which causes and promotes the disease, and effects a permanent cure. Thousands of people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for eatarrb when other preparations had failed. CAtARRh “ I will say I have been troubled for sev eral years with that terribly disagreeable disease, catarrh. I took Hood’s Sarsapa rilla with the very best results. It cured me of that continual dropping In my throat, and stuffed up feeling. It has alee helped my mother, who has taken It for run down state of health and kidney trouble." Mbs. S. L>.
