RESOLUTION OF THANKS.
At a meeting of the Board ot Directors of the Gwin
nett County Fair Association held last Friday the following
resolution, offered by Hon. G. A. Clement, was unani
mously adopted.
Resolved, That the thanks of this Association are due
and are hereby tendered to Wm. G. McNelley, editor of
The Lawrenckvii.ee News, for the invaluable services
rendered by him in aid of the county Fair, and that we
recognize and appreciate the fact that its phenomenal suc
cess was largely due to his active support and assistance,
both through the columns of The News and by personal
solicitations, for the large amount of commercial fertilizers
which the Association were, through his efforts, enabled to
donate as premtums. The News Ims been an active ally
of the Association from the inception ot the movement for
jx county fair, and we are glad to know that its enterprise
and progressiveness is appreciated bv the people^
To Our Correspondents :
Owing to On space devoted to ttie
lair this week, many of our corres
pondent's letters are crowded out.
All who Have written and whose let
ters do not appear this week. will find
them in our next issue.
We desire to impress upon our cor
respondents the tact that their letters
are highly appreciated, botli by the ed
itor and the readers of the paper, and
we want them to write all the dots from
their respective neighborhoods every
week.

Is over and u as a decided success. Help
me make a success by coming prompt

Death of J. J. Langley.
On the 16th in.st.Mr. J. J. Langley, for
tm rly of this county, but who, in 1872,
moved to Texas, died at his homein
Flatonia, Tex ~ in the 86th year of his
age. He was the father of Esquire W,
M. Langley, and had many relatives
and friends in this county who will be
pained to hear of his death.
His wife and nine children survive
him, all of whom were present at his
death except Esquire Langley, who re
ceived the sad intelligence of his fath
er’s demise Tuesday of this week.
Perry-Rainey Without a Head.
We understand that the Rev. \V. H
Strickland has resigned the Presidency
of Perry-Rainey College, because of
some disagreement with one element
in the-board of trustees, and that he
will return to his home in DeKalb
county.
We have not learned the nature of
the disagreement, but its existence is
peculiarly unfortunate just at sins
juncture, and is apt to prove detri
mental to the college.
Dr. Strickland is a gentleman of abili
ty, a ripe scholar and an instructor of
experience, and it was confidently pre
dicted that his administration of the
affairs of Perry-Rainey would be a
brilliant success.
We have no information as to who
will be selected to All the vacancy thus
created.

The Reunion.
Owing to the crowded condition of
the town and our columns as we went
to press Thursday afternoon of last
week, we tailed to publish an account
of the Contederate reunion held that
day.
Several hundred old veterans were
present, expecting to hear speeches
from distinguished orators. Generals
Gordon and Evans sent their regrets,
and many of the veterans were disap
pointed at failing to see them.
Col. Allen D. Candler, Frank Gordon,
Montgomery Folsom and Commodore
Dexter made short and interesting
talks.
A large attendance of “old confeds”
were here, and had proper arrange
ments been made for their entertain
ment the day would have proved a
memorable one.
As it was only a few of those who
had come were able to gain admission
into the court house, where the speak
ing took place, on account of thecrowds
of younger people rushing in as the
band led the way.
Deaths In Conyers.
Mr. Joseph H. Alinand, a prominent
citizen of Conyers, aud the father of
Gus Alinand, died at his home in that
place Sunday, in the 79th year ol his
age.
D. M. Almand, a prominent merchant
of Conyers, died Saturday, very sud
denly, of apoplexy.
Fair Echoes.
The News dropped into an error last
week in stating that Mrs. J. O. Haw
thorne carried off 2nd prize in the dis
play of fruits. If was her daughter,
Miss Emma Hawthorne, who carried off
this honor. Miss Einuia is one of the
most industrious little ladies in the
great big county of Evvinnett, and she
and her Irieiius have reason to feel
proud of the tine display of fruits, jel
lies, etc., made by h.-r at the fair.
There were many interesting arti
cles and curiosities exhibited at the
Fair that were hardly noticed until the
buildings were being cleared after the
Fair was over. Next year we must
have more room, anu a bigger and a
better display.
Space forbids tbe mention of many
articles desert ing of a write-up. Next
year we will issue a daily during tlie
Fair so that we may do justice to the
occasion.
One of the greatest curiosities at the
Fair was au old horse pistol bearing
the sign : "Used in the war ol 183 b.”
The name of the maker of the ancient
weapon was stamped on the pistoi, with
the words, "Patented 183 b.”
Mr. H. S. Courthey, representing
the Begg & Gregg Hardway Co., was
here during the lair and made quite
a display for his house with his sign
work. He is one of the best drummers
on the road, and his house enjoys a
good trade in this section.
Tom Smith, our clever grocery mer
chant, turned himself into a cheese cut
ting macliine on Thursday of the fair,
and cut up three whole cheese and sold
them to the hungry folks before he had
time to turn around.
The merchants of Lawreuceville did
not do for the fair as much as they
should have done. And many of them
now see that they should have given
more liberally. But they will have a
chance to do their full duty yet . 1898
is another year.
Every store in Lawrenoeville was
packed and jammed lull of customers
Wednesday and I'hursday ol the Fair,
and all did a land office business.
Now, that the fair is over, let every
merchant in Eawrenceville advertise
liberally in The News and The News
will do its utmost to arouse interest in
getting up a lair next year that will be
a sure-enougb fair—one that you read
about. The News can be made a pow
er in Lawrenceville’s upbuilding it tlie
business men ot the town would but
appreciate that fact and do their part.
W e are doing ours. f

Mrs. Geo. E. King and Mrs. Stokes,

fair last week.
Prof. W. A. Wood, a Gwinnett coun
ty boy now of Mountainboro, Ala., vis
iied home folks near town during the
fair, and staid over during part of this
week. Prof. Wood is doing fine in his
adopted home, being principal of
.Mountainboro High School, a flour
ishing institution of Etowah county,
Ala. He has also been elected secre
tary of the Teacher’s Institute of Eto
wah county for the forthcoming year.
Prof. Wood has MsS. for a new- booa
to be entitled “Emblems of America,”
which he expects to put to press.
One hopeful sign of the times no
ticeable during the fair here was the
handsome equipages and the splendid
quality and condition of the stock
now owned by farmers. Their mules
were generally fat and sleek and their
horses splendid roadsters; their colts
also showed the results of careful and
intelligent breeding. The old, weath
erbeaten animals full of all diseases
that horse-flesh is heir to which were
brought to town and bandied about
on the boneyard during the “good old
times” of which the ancient inhabitant
loves so to tell, have given place to
magnificent creatures of beauty and
strength.

A tew- weeks ago the editor w-as
taken with a very severe cold "that
caused him to be in a most mis
erable-condition. It was undoubt
edly a bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, we
concluded to make a first trial
of the medicine. To say that it
was satisfactory in its results, is
putting it very mildly, indeed . It
acted like magic and the result
was a speedy ana permanent cure.

mending this excellent Cough
