We don’t know where he is, but his card is paid for and we have no legal right to drop it out. Once he disappeared and went to Cuba, it is supposed, and we dropped liis card, because it was doing him no good, and at the same time gave him credit for the amount to use at any future time. He returned and ordered the card replaced, and went away again. The card will run until next May unless Dr. Ellis or liis attorney gives other orders.

The Georgia Weekly Press As¬ sociation, which met in Newnan, 1 l where they had the possum sup-1 per, last winter was the fullest of attendance the State ever held, i and that, was convention No 12. i : Fully 200 representatives were present, and 88 new papers join- | ed. Newnan turned out to wel- come us and give us a riproaring good time, but the heavens were showering down blessings that the farmers needed worse, and the streets were too sloppy for us to go out and get what the city had prepaired for us. But that was nol Newnan’s fault. She would have lavished her love in lumps of loyalty if Providence had giv- en us fairer days. Newnan did her share, even-in the rain, and entertained us on flowery beds of case. The Advance couple sure- ly had the best home of any of the editors, except a populist fel- low from Gwinnett, who was for- tunate enough to get into (lie same home. We were taken in by Mr. J. T.

Our school closes Saturday July 28rd with a general examination in the subjects that the pupils have been persuing through the term, and close with a concert at night.
