discussed, we suppose everybody has

sewing machine repairer of Atlanta,
will be in McDonough next Monday
the 9th. and remain about a week.

to say that it will be safely handled.
Id the negro murder case mentioned
iu our Rape Locals, Coroner Pritchett
held a second inquest over the dead
man Tuesday. This was done in or
der to make it legal, as the law pro
vides for a justice to officiate only in
the absence of the coroner from the
couuty, or sickness to positively prevent
his attendance. Monk Wise, the slayer
of Murphy, is now iu jail, but on ac
count of his drunken condition says he
knows nothing about do'ing the killing.
The new firm of the Fields & Ileus
lee Co., which succeeds Thus. D.
Stewart, took charge last Monday

Mr. Stewart has occupied his elegant

business, aud The Wkkki.y, predicts
for them abundant success. See their

transportation, name and address of

If you have apples of auy kind, don’t
•fail to take advantage of this opportu
nity. A gout Newman will furnish any
information desired.
Baptist Meeting.
The ten days meeting of the McDon
ough Baptist church closed with the
11 o’clock services last Sunday morn
ing, with splendid results from every
standpoint. It was highly interesting
and strengthening in all its features,
while eighteen accessions were made
to the membership. By his faithful
and able presentations of scriptural
truths, brother Culpepper continued to
strengthen the fjrra hold he already
has upon the confidence and affections
of the people. The baptizing of the
new members at 'J o’clock Sunday
morning was an impressive scene—and
the Baptist meeting of ’95 will long be
remembered as a glorious oue.
Jiew Firm.
11. J. Copeland, Sons & Co. is the
style of a new firm which succeeds Mr.
H. J. Copeland this week. As is well
known, Mr. Henry Copeland has been
one of McDonough’s mainsprings in
business ever since the old town took
on new life, at the coming of the old
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. He now admits to partner
ship his two excellent sons, Ed aud
Arthur, with his brother Green. That
this will make a strong team, it is use
less to add. A better, more popular or
deserving trio of young men could hard
ly be gotten together, and with euch'
sterling wortii 'I lit; Weekly does not
hesitate to predict for them even an
increased popularity over that of the
old firm. Here’s to the Copeland boys
(aud the old man too) —may thi-y “wax

boon productive of much good. Tin
services have attracted a very large
attendance, and iu the manifestations

Not only have church members been
gloriously hlessed, but the altars have
beeu crowded with penitents, aud large

Weekly does not hesitate to say that
Dr. Blosser, with his entire family who
have assisted him so faithfully and well
iu these services, will carry with them
the siucere gratitude and esteem of the
good people of the whole community.
To Whom It May Concern.
The Teachers institute will be held
the third week in September, 16th to
20th. All teachers holding license to
teach, unless they expect to permanent
ly retire from the profession, are re
quired by law to be present, or be sub-,
ject to a tine imposed by the Board of
Education. The State School Com
missioner has been kind enough to
grant us the privilege to defer the In
stitute until this late date, believing it
to be to the interest of the majority of
the schools, so let all tiy to be present.
Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School
Commissioner, will be with us on Fri
day, the ‘2oth, aud will give us some
thing good ou the school questions of
the day. Let all the trustees of
schools, and every patron in the county
who possibly can come be present, and
learn something for the best iuterest of
the children for whom we labor in love.
We hope to see the members of the
Board preseut. Come, everybody,
