No Paper.
Not having taken our regular Fouitli

issue no regular edition next week, in
order to allow the editor to attend the
meeting of the press convention at
Milledgeville. May all of our readers
enjoy the respite equally as much as
we do.
Remember the announcement and
govern yourself accordingly.
It is now thought probable that the

The Cleveland Progress gets off this
neat compliment to Major Bacon :
“We mountaineers are fond of Bacon
lie is sound, and well cured, and lias
been hanging in the political smoke
house just long enough to impart a
wholesome flavor to the next I'nited
States senate.”

Col A. A. Murphy has his eye on the
Populist nomination for Congress to
oppo-e the Democratic nominee. The

bulging lungs and great activity, hut he
will be a long time getting to Washing

* (Julie u Changr,
Three weoks ago there was consid
erable apprehension among many far
mers in this section relative to the crop
prospect. Then serious fears were en
tertained that the corn crop especially
would be a failure. More or less des
(tondeucy could be read in the faces of
the farmors. Put during these three
weeks plenteous rains have fallen, and
reports are coming from all sections oi
the county that the corn crop is good
and that the cotton is promising. Far
mers are wearing brighter smiles and
their hopes of a good harvest are stron
ger. Side crops, too, such as peas,
potatoes, late corn patches, A-c., are
vigorous and healthy and in fine grow
ing condition and ptomise good results
Such at present is the outlook of the
farming operations of this section.
Now if the price of cotton will only
jump up a little before fall, the country
is safe again.
Senatorial Convention.
By direction of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the 34th Senato
rial District, composed of the counties
of Gwinnett, DeKalb and Henry, a
convention of the Democratic party of
Said District is hereby called to meet
at the Court House in Decatur, Ga., on
Thursday the Oth of August next at 10
o'clock a. m., to nominate a candidate
for Senator, appoint a new Executive
committee and to transact such other
business as may be brought before that
body.
Each county will be entitled to twice
as many votes in said convention as it
lias members in the House of Repre
sentatives. J. T. McElvany,

l’he read< rs of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. 1 tie proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of Testimouials. Address, F. J.

Com crops very good and cotton do

The singing at Beersheha Sunday
was largely attended, and good music
and an enjoyable time w«s repotted.
Owing to the singing at Beersheha
and threatening weather, the classes
were somewhat reduced at the Sunday
School at Indian Creek church Sun
day evening, hut Superintendent A. G.
Combs and the organist Miss Delia
Smith, whose names are a synonym of
good music, were on hand, and with the
members of the school dispensed some
nice music.
Anyone fond of sweet pickles would
do well to lay up a good store of pres

With good seasons, good crops, good
singings and big religious and political
meetings, elections, etc., it seems that
everybody is busy, happy and conten
ted, except a few poor, miserable third
party people whose eyes are so blinded,
undeistandings darkened and systems
poisoned by the venom of the false the
ories taught by their leaders, that noth
ing short of the death of the President,
the overthrow of the government and
the distribution of the fortunes of
wealthy democrats and Repiibl'cang
among poor third partyites will content
them.
It does not seem to occur to them
that without government to protect
them in it they could not keep the
wealth after they got it. I am sorrv
for them but cannot help them any on
the'r present line.

Tribute of Respect.
Brother T. J. Hays, was born in
Henry county, Ga., and always lived
around Mt. Bethel church, of which he
was a member. By studious and moral
habits he won and maintained to the
end of life a high and deserved rank in
the esteem of all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. On August 20,
1801 he was horn into this world, and
the .'3d Sunday in August, 1887, he was
horn into the Kingdom of God —died
July sth, 1894. His Christian life was
an exemplary one, ever letting his
light shine and shedding forth the rays
of a Christian character so as to make
the world around him better by his
having lived in it. Be it resolved
1. That the church has lost a good
and faithfu’ member, conscientious in
all his life and ever living up to its
teachings and doctrine.
2. That the Sabbath School has lost
a worthy member, fervant and diligent
worker in its vineyard, and while it
feels the weight of yet recog
nizes the fact of Ins eternal gain. We
can hardly hid the dear brother good
bye till we shall strike hands with him
on the other shore
J. We, the Mt. Bethel Sabbath
School, extend to sister Hays our deep
est sympathy and condolence, and may
the grace that sustained and comforted
him all along through life ever be her
portion, and while her loss is heavy and
seemingly hard, yet may she remember
that it is his eternal gain, and while he
cauno* come to her she may go to
him.
4 Resolved that these resolutions be
spread on (lie minutes of the Sabbath
School, and a copy ho sent to The
Hknkv County Weekly and to sister
Hays. 11. C. Manley,

Obituary,
The subj ct. of this sketch, I.ula
Batker I’iice, via, born in Henry]
coun.y* * >a., June 20tb, I Hoff, married |
to T. W. {.'rice December, 1872, and
died iii her husband's home near Lo
oust Grove, Ga, July 17th, 1894, being
41 ye »rs and 27 days old at die time of
iier death -.'saw
H« r health had been gradually de
clining f r three years, and for neatly
three months prior to her death she
had been confixed to her bed. during
which time her sufferings were very
great, but she b >rc them with a re
markable degree of fortitule and resig
nation.
When she laid down life’s burden on
the storm beaten coast of time, and
glided out on the boundless seo of eter
nity, her aged parents, grief-stricken
husband and three children were all
present to water her dying pillow with
tears of such grief as are only ku)wn
to those who have passed through an
ordeal of the same kind.
May they all, like David of old,
solace, themselves with the thought
that though she tnay not return unto
them, they may go unto her and join
her in a beautiful new home lieyond
the vale of tears,
Where gates of pearl anil jasper walls,
And streets of gold abound,
Where ovi r's-ting spring abides,
And joyons nob-s resound.
And where the ties of reunited fami
lies will be seveted no more.
Her greatest ambition and pleasure
in life was to faithfully perform in ev
ery detail, all things that she conceived
to be her duty.
She was an obedient and dutiful child,
a faithful and effectionate wife, enter
ing heartily as partner indeed into ev
ery hope and aspiration of her hus
band ; a fond indulgent mother, and a
kind, obliging ftiend and neighbor.
Besides her own family, she leaves
a large number of relatives, friends
and neighbors who deeply mourn her
loss, and on the t-oene of the lonely
home she has left with its vacant chair
and a great aching void in the b easts
of loved and loving ones which no
earthly power can ever (id. I would
gladly lower the curtain until time
shall have at least partially healed the
wounds of their torn and bleeding
hearts. A Friend.
