During a discussion among several
gentlemen at the passenger depot yes
terday morning on the all absorbing
topic of the day, that of the governor
ship, it was amusing when a vehe
ment Evans man called for a
poll of the party, that there were
eight for Atkiuson to his lone self
for Evans. When he insisted on poll
ing every one else iu sight around the
depot, the vote stood 27 to 1 in favor
of Atkinson.—Grilfiu News.
One of McDonough’s finest garden
ers states that things which develop un
der the ground should be planted when
the moon is on the decrease, while those
which grow above the ground should
be put in on the increase. This is giv
en from actual tests, and is vouched for
by the party to mature all kinds of
vegetables more perfectly—all ridicule
as to “planting seed in the moon” lo
the contrary notwithstanding. If not
already your custom, try it this year.
Since printing the local on first page

on account of the joint discussion, and
a good large party from McDonough
have expressed an intention to attend
Leave here about 9 o’clock, returning
at 4. The Central road has also given
half fase rates, and as it is reported
that Atlanta aud Macon will both send
large delegations, besides towns along
the route, an unusually big day is ex
pected. Griffin is making extensive
preparations for the largest crowd she
has ever entertained, and the trip will
doubtless be a pleasant one.
Colt Show.
Mr. H. M. Tolleson has decided to
offer a premium for the best colt sired
by his horse, some time during the
coming summer, the award to be made
after a public exhibition of the colts in
McDonough, particulars and conditions
of which will be announced in due
time.
It is a good step in the right direc
tion, and The Weekly would be glad
to see others join Mr. Tolleson in his
undertaking and unite in an opeu con
test to the county.
There are some very fine stock in
Henry, and no better plan could be
devised to increase interest and en
courage improvement in stock raising
among our people, than the one men
tioned. ludeed, numbers of men have
at different times expressed a willing
ness to contribute to such a movement,
and whenever the matter is broached to
parties in that line, interest is at once
manifested.
All that is necessary is for a few
men to take hold in the right spirit, and
a good colt show for Henry county is
an assured success. Besides, there is
no telling the beneficial result.
The Weekly would be more than
glad to aid such a movement in any
way pxtsible, and will perhaps have
more to say about it from time to time,
as.circumstauces may warrant.
Let’s have a big colt show first—later
on, a county fair.

The following communication was
written for and scut to the Morning
Cal), hut was refused publication:
Mk Editor:—The publication of
| your clever burlesque on the Atkinson
j club at Zettella of a short while since
has brooded various commeuts as to
my situation upon the gubernatorial
campaign, as to whether I am iu favor
of Atkinson or Evans or undecided.
My friends of this aud adjacent
counties are frequently approaching
me on this subject inquiring as to my
convictions.
I take this tmdiutu to s ,-t myself
aright.
While l have the highest esteem fo r
that gallant soldier and Christian gen
tleman—Gen. Evans—l cannot sup
port him.
J heartily favor the nomination of
one of Georgia's noblest sons, W. Y.
Atkinson, and will further prove my
allegiance on the 2d day of August
by casting suffrage for him for that
exalted honor to which he aspires,and
this honor could not fall upon one who
is more deserving. His record in the
general assembly is without blemish.
Wherever points of vital interest were
being discussed in that body, he never
came up lagging, hut leadiug in the
interest of the State, and while chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee he was the greatest factor in
saving Democracy at that critical mo
ment. Col. Atkinson has been loyal
to every public interest entrusted to
his care thus far, aud for my part I am
willing to risk him farther.
It is no imagination of mine (as you
would say, Mr. Editor,) that Atkin
son is gaiuing at a rapid rate in the
whole State, but it is simply a fact that
is well authenticated.
Oh ! where was Gen. Evans in 1892
when he could have rendered valuable
service to his party?—Griffin News.

Death of Mr. Klein lug Standard.
After a long aud deep affliction, our
venerable and esteemed friend died
at his late home, at 4 o’clock on Sun
day morning, March 11th, 1894.
To those who knew this good' old
man. we need uot say anything of his
life aud character. The eulogy hv the
preacher at his funeral was all sufficient
to he said of him. The vast number of
hia friends who attended his burial bear
witness to the excellency of his char
acter.
Brother Standard was horn in Mon
roe county, and had well nigh attained
to his seventy fifth year; but to night
he is sleeping in his grave, to know no
waking until the Master returns to un
lock the bolted door.
Let me say to you, children, don’t
foget the preacher’s text. Remember
what he said to you. Make haste and
delay not to learn the commandments
of God. He will be waiting and watch
ing at the gate for you. Don’t disap
point him. Write, Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord, yea saith the
spirit, they rest from their labors and
their works do follow them.
