Hope the He sound and all right Judge may be few days- He is badly missed. in a A friend whispered in ou r ear the other day that no one knew how popular he was until he :an for office. By that means he also finds out how unpopular he is. Elder J.G* Eubanks, we learn, j iaf} received calls to serve seven churches in Kentucky, He will probably accept. Our colored fiends had better trust the men they have known all their lives and be were of adventu rers. They will soon have a chance io make tins choice. Rev.E. R Carswell has accepted the pas.oral charge of the Fi -st baptist church at this place for another year. He preached two splendid ser nons la st Sunday, He is we’’-beliked by all butespecially be his ciiurch membership. The rock business in Conyers is not on such a boom as it was some months ago, but we a e informed nod that rehably that Captain Col ]i-i 8 is perfecting arrangements to open up his best quarry and con duct it upon the most extensive sea le possible by the early spring of next yea \ The busi less during ihe yea- has not in all respects been p'enant to the Captain, but he is a man of wonderful talents and will put the business in a few months upon such a footing as will con¬ tribute to him both honor and wealth. Every citizen of Bockdale will wildly rejoice nt any good for¬ tune that mav be showered upon him. The Banned is free to con :m that he has done 'h s part for Conyers and her people. Georgia gave Cleveland a majori¬ ty of 60,003. It is bel’eved by those in posi¬ tion to know and whose opinions are regarded as authority that Judge Gleaton would have defeated Col. Womack for solicitor-genera 1 if there had been but the one elec¬ tion before the legislature. Why then the result a« it is? It can be expres r ed in no milder terms than that there was an “unbroken com¬ bine.” And it may be asked, are combinations honorable? and it may be aho asked, are they dis¬ honorable? To these questions the answer may be tersely put: Combinations of themselves are not necessarily honorable nor are they »ecessarilv dishonorable. The sociable at the Lawson ho¬ tel last Friday night in honor of Misses Belle Slansall of Walnut Grove and Lula Peek of Cottage 6 een was in every feature a most happy and enjoyable event. All so¬ cial gatherings at the hotel are un¬ usually pleasant, but the last seems to have outstripped in pleasure all the former ones. The Salvation Army is in town with headquarters in the Masonic hall. It is not known definitely how long they will remain here, The elect'on for mayor and al¬ dermen will occur on the first Sat Ur dayin December. The time is not far off.

Gleaton. Judge George W. Gleaton of Conyers made an admirable race for solicitor-general of Flint cir¬ cuit. His competitor recognized in him from the outset a strong, bold and . honoiable foe, The claims of both gentlemen were ac tively, earnestly and even vigor¬ ously pressed. The result was in a great measure a surprise to some of Glealon’s friends, though it should be remembered that Col. Womack’s acquaintance is very broad and his service for 8 years gave him largely the advantage in the conlest. Howeve-, the result is as it is, and neither Judge Gleaton nor his supporters, who did ?U they could, have any cause for so-eness or "egeets. While of course there is a tinge ol disappointment all round, the Judge and his friends feel that their duty was done, and nobly done. And we may add that Judge Gleaton takes his de eat like a brave rue man, and rests confidently in the hope that his ability and claims are such that will ere long demand an.entbusiastice pub’ic support. Of Judge Gleaton the Constitution says :—‘‘Mr. George W. Gleaton made a splendid race, andjtook his defeat like a philosopher. The manly fight which he made has not only lengthened the list of bis friends but made stronger his rep¬ utation, The t'me will come when the failure of Monday will prove a stepping stone to future success. When you want beef, pork, or aansage call on A- B. Osborn. From present outlook there will be four candidates in the mayoralty race. The candidate who can guarantee the following ’‘necessa : ies of life” to the voters and adopts these planks as his platform will secure many votes i: he does miss the office: Better sidewa'ka and bridges.

White Sewing Machines at H. P. & D. M. Almand & Co. at $25. Mr. Cleveland adm'ts that his message on the tariff question was the cause of his defeat. Speaking of Col. Wommack’s good fortune in securing a re-clec tion for the third to m as soheitor general of Flint circuit the Consti¬ tution says:— The victory won by Mr, Emmett Womack Tuesday was a just tribute to oue of the bc3t officers in the state. He bears his honors blushingly, and vrill, if pos¬ sible, make a better record in the lour years to come tbarr he nude in the four years that a<-e gone ” Good bureaus, large lot, for five dollars at H.

The committee recently appoin¬ ted at the citizens meeting to take the proper steps for the erection of a public school house are moving along as well a» they can, at least so we are informed. In a few weeks the committee will make a report. Of course such a movement in Con¬ yers will require time and care, as haste might prec’pitate a most dis¬ mal failu-e of the project. If every one favored the building of a pub¬ lic school house matters would proceed rapidly, but as this is not the case, it is well, we suppose, to pause along the journey and con¬ sider. It is said to be eas : e- to tear down a house than to build one, and it lakes less effoi t to des¬ troy a good movement than to be¬ gin one and convince the people that- it is the right thing in the right place and for the right pur¬ pose. It is needless for us to say we favor the building of a public school hoj.ie. We not only favor this but any other ente prise th*t promises so much good to our people. To bor’ow the language and idea of another, the school room is the mother's institution. Mothers of all others a r e roost in¬ terested in the question of educat ing the children.

An interesting feature of this week to us has been the fretful fall ing of the showers, so gently, so sofldy into our sanctum as to give it an aspect of competition to the Atlantic ocean. We believe in puro, sparkling, crystial water, but object to its being so intensely personal. Eleven pounds granulated sugar at H. P, & D. M, Almand & Co.

People cannot be too guarded ia storing away their val¬ uables. Editor Jones, of the St. Louis Re¬ public, comments very briefly on the election.

Pveeident Cleveland ought to ap¬ preciate a compliment and a p opbeey which were altered by a little girf in La Grang®, Ga-. a few day* a*e. When her parents we r e letneuling Mr. Cleveland's deleft, the little <l»mcerat laid: “Mother M=*.

That’s about the differ¬ ence, Mr. Marion Poole, aged about 30 years, had his left hand and arm mangled in a cotton gin Monday af¬ ternoon about 5 o’clock, at Mrs, M i ry Cook’s steam ginnery 4 mile from town. He was carried immediately to his home, about one mile distant f-om the gin, and bled so freely that he died at about 11 o’clock ,hat night. Four doctors were present ) but nothing could be done to save M;. Poole. He expressed a willing nes3 to meet his Master and died without a marram* or complaint. Peace to his memory and rest to bis soul. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. Persons indebted to us will please enme forward and settle their ac counts, for we are very much in need of money.

Ringing of the Marriage Bell. t Last Thursday evening at J o’clock a the lesideace of Mrs, Richards of New** ton county the marriage of M*. Will Me Knight to Miss Maggie Davidson was celeb-ated with matchlefs grace and ele¬ gance in the presence of men? friends and relative*, The nuotial ceremony’ which was a perfect gem, was solemn.zed by Dr. J. L. Rogers of A tlanta in a very leader and impressive manner. All the , floral d, 00 rations, wh ; ah were exf-ava gant in the e t<*eme, were artistic^ unique end beautiful, The lovel* P r ch of chrysanthemums under which the bride and groom were sta.ioned vied is beauty with the rainbow. From either end >n front were placed in column order the six bright Deed boys, Paul Castles, Lucien Davidson. Walter Sullivan, 1 a r mie King, ltobbie King, aud Jolmn ’ Leyd who compose Miss Ma^ie s Sun¬ day school cla s at Bethany church. A few minutes we r e consume 1 in extend¬ ing congratulations and the bridal parly then led for Conyers, pursued by a shower 0 / rice and old shoe of joed luck. The bride po sense# traits of mind, heart and disposition that rank her ss a lady of almost unequaled qualifies, To speak of her as a most e:cel’ent l«d v con revs the idea in a measure. While fbe groom is a young man of superior wo th and cherccter. And about the lofiie t cotn pli cent that can be paid to a mm c n in truth bespoken of him, that lie is an honorable, high toned, well-rounded gon* tle nan. The Bawmbu therefore offers to the newly wedded its congratula-inna and feels hopeful for them of a long life of love, happiness and abundant pros¬ perity. William Weathers, the young man who was so severely cut by his brother near Logansville a few days ago, died Tuesday from bis wound. The murderer was drunk nt the time and his brother wat trying to kill an old man when he inteifeied to prevent it. Gov. Gordon was inaugurated last Tuesday. His address was sound and statesman like. Georgia has few such gifted men as the govenor The members of the Georgia leg. islature ought to feel proud as they have some of the writer’s talented relatives among them. This is cer¬ tainly a compliment to the legislat¬ ors. The Conyers string band has been re-organizsd with Col Eob Irwin as president and Mr. Joe Goodo as sec¬ retary. The band has 8 members and all of them have both taste and talent for music. It meets eve’ y Friday night. Jt is hoped and be¬ lieved the young men will stick to¬ gether and make it one of the fore¬ most string bands in the country. We but voice the sentiment of our whole peop’e when we express our¬ selves as delighted in the course the young men are purposing. A town with the pretentions of Con¬ yers needs niusio. Mr. J. W. D. Eckles thinks he baa found a rich gold miaeon the Hale place 7 miles from Monroe, Walton county. Those concerned w'il do well to read Miss Annie Dav'dson’s notice this week. Govenor Cordon, inh's message to the Legislature, last week, put strong emphasis upon the general prosperity of our Slate during the present year, One paragraph of that message may appropriately be quoted heie as a legible statement of the general condition of the St a to: “During the current year, with the exception of the destructive floods which visi'ed Richmond county, she has not suffered a mark¬ ed disaster of any kind; and dur¬ ing the past few months, whilst she has been within 'be shadow of tbe pestilence, which Iks scourged por¬ tions of her £(Ete>- Slate of Florida, her people have enjoyed remarkable health, God is the {fiver of every good and every perfect gift. Let us recognize him as the auihor of our prosperity, and humbly aek his guidance in nii our official action, that p oaperity may be continued and inceased. ’ The Cedartown Guardian grows warlike, paws the rir frantically, and then floods tho country with this rpirited epic: Ti a Jiple the trust Into the dust, Bid them a bold defiance; Thrust ubon thrust, We’ll whip 'em or bust.
