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

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

Conyers and her people.
Georgia gave Cleveland a majori¬

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.

Geo w. 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.

Speaking of Col. Wommack’s
good fortune in securing a re-clec

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.

to its being so intensely personal.

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.

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.

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.

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¬

people have enjoyed remarkable health,
God is the {fiver of every good and every
