Stemwinder McELREEUFjAMN^OF^ARDUl f or Weak Nerves. Last Thursday was alliance day at the exposition in Atlanta. It is estimated that upwards of 75 000 people were present. It was truely a great day. One of the crowning features of the occasion was the marriage < f Mr. W. K. Downs of Newton county to Miss Mamie Winburn of this place. Gov. Gordon, Drs. Morrison and Barnett officiated. The contract¬ ing parties were dressed in cotton bagging, and are reported to have looked perfectly beautiful. A great many presents were given the married couple. Mr. Downs spent Saturday last in the city with Mr. J. D. Winburn’s family. The Banner offers congratulations. 4 good linen towels at New York Store for 50 cents. The time is coming and that within a few years when farms will be valuable property in this country. Mark the statement. Last Saturday the Conyers Vol¬ unteers closed a contract with the Pettibone Mfg. Co. of Cincinnati, for their new dress uniforms. They are dark blue trimmed with chamois and gold. The uniforms will be received on December 15th. Our people may be called upon to help pay for them, and should re¬ spond with a liberality that will do tho town credit, and make the boys feel good.

All of our citizens are great admirers of this eminent Divine.—Lithonia New Era. About one month ago the little 4 or 5 years old boy of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hammock, just below town, was bitten by a mad dog. A short time after the bite Mr. Hammock carried the little boy to Fair burn where a madstone was applied. He remained there four days. IJp till last Monday eve ning he got along nicely when he was taken with a violent fever. He grew rapidly worse till nedied Thursday evening about 3 o clock. The little boy was buried at the Almand grave yard Friday -eve ning. We sympathize deeply with the grief-stricken family. Mrs. Wm. T. Shipley of Har¬ lem, Ga., visited relatives and friends in the city last week. Rev. F. A.

All parties indebted to us either by note or account are requested to come and settle at once. \ e are going out of business and are compelled to have onr money. Bros. W hi taker POSTPONED. On account of the meeting 1 now in progress at the Presbyterian church, the Military Supper set for Friday night the 1st of Nov. has been postponed to Friday night Nov. Sth.

Barton is able to knock about town but is suffering considerably. He is not well. Mr. Henry P. Almand of Jack son was in the city yesterday. Editor Hale of the bright Hen¬ ry County Times visited Mr. J. W. Langford’s family last week in the city. Some of our farmers are getting ready to sow wheat.

The protracted meeting at the Presbyterian church under direc¬ tion of Drs. Quigg and Painter are progressing finely. The ser¬ vices so far have been full of in¬ terest and instruction, and all are hopeful of a great and glorious revival. Dr. Painter is a man of great talents and his earnestness makes him almost master of the occasion. Good attendance so far. Every body most cordially invited to be present.

Mr. Ed Langford of Atlanta spent Sunday in the city with his family. Mr. Joseph H. Wallis of this place leaves this week to take charge of the Jonesboro News in company with the present editor of the paper, Col. Doyal.

We want every stockholder to be pres¬ ent and those who want stock in this company are requested to meet with us as there are a few shares not yet taken. J. A. Stewart & Co. A large lot of Buggies and Wagons to be sold at cost until t^e 15th of November next. J. W Langford. It requires as much skill and experience to be a prosperous farmer as anything else. Farm¬ ing calls forth thought in all its varied departments as well as any other business. And it may safely be assumed that the more exten¬ sive one's information maybe, the better prepared he is for the work before him. In other words, just any one that works on a farm is no more a successful farmer than a shipping clerk of a store is pro¬ prietor of a whole sale house. True each individual as such bears a given relation to others, but the brain work of farming is by no means among the least im¬ portant factors. gggr'BLACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation. Hon. G. W T . Gleaton, of Con yers, one on the rising men of Middle Georgia, was in atten¬ dance of our court this week.— Henry County Times. The Covington Star puts a deal of truth in the fellowing sentence: “The Piedmont Exposition is a great drain upon the finances of the country, which will long be felt in every section.” The two couples married in cotton bagging respectively, suits at the ^Ex¬ Miss position were and Mr. H. R. Wells, A. J. Whaley of Gwinnette county, and Miss. Winburn, of Conyers, and Mr. Walter Downs, of Newton county. The long drought was ended on Friday night by a tremendous raiufull. There have been occa¬ sional showers since, and vegeta¬ tion is putting on new life. Everything looks bright and cheerful and everybody fells bet ter. Shoes at New York Store for 50 cents, 75 cts., 90 cts., $1,00, and up to $4,50. If you want shoes, don't fail to see them before you buy. The Albany News and Adver¬ tiser wishes to improve (?) the old saying: “The poor ye have al¬ ways with you,” by adding, “and the Georgia Legislature in its biennial (?) sessions,” or words to that effect. The Presbyterian Synod, of Georgia, will meet in Griffin on November 6th. If you want children's shoes, go to Thompson & Co's. They have all kinds, sizes, and prices. Covington had a complete and suscessful “jail delivery,” on Thursday night. W. M. Simpson, who was tried at late term of su¬ perior court, for the murder of Isham Kelly, and was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for 10 years, escaped from the jail, and once more breathes the pure air of freedom. His escape was effected by sawing out two each of the large iron cross bars dr bolts in the front corridor window, of the second story, thus forming a hole about 12 inches square, through which be crawled, and then let liimself to the ground by using bis bed blanket for a rope. The iron bolts are about an inch and a half thick, and four of them were sawed in two. He had been allowed the use of the corridor during the day, and bad sawed out the end of the bolt which fas¬ tened the door of his cell, so it could be drawn back at will, and the door opened. This let liim out of the cage into the corridor Thursday nigbt, when he went to work to remove the bolts from the window. Ho released a negro prisoner, from an adjoining cell, named Andrew Bradley, who also made his escape. Sheriff Ander son has offered $50 reward for the capture of Simpson. When you want goods, go to see the Thompson boys at New York Store. Richard Tucker of the firm of J. H. Almand & Co., on being asked wliy so many wagons loaded with cotton were standing near their store this morning, replied, “Our firm is headquarters for cotton in this market.” Now they wish the farmers of the surrounding country to bear that in mind. The services at the Presbyterian church are rich with food and thought of present and eternal in¬ terest. This question should be answered individually by every readers: Can one afford to have opportunities presented and pass by unimprovc’d? McElr»»’» WINE OF CARDUI for femalo diseases. Miss Nannie Dukes is now clerking in Atlanta at Mr. Kurtz, where she would be pleased to see all her friends. Mr. George Jones and family left the city yesterday for Culman county, Ala., where they intend settling. Mr. Jones intends to devote his time to farming. Suc¬ cess.

Mr. Lnm Robinson of Social Sircle visited friends last week. Mr. Thos. E. McCalla has mo¬ ved into the Hail house in the southern portion of town. We request those who owe us anything on note or account to come forward at once and settle. We dislike to do this, and nothingexceptnecessity could force us to it; but our debtors must pay, especially those whom we carried over from last year. Let this suffice; we want to be left at the end of this season in a con¬ dition that we can accommodate you again. D. N. Hudson &, Son. Oct. 15th 1889. Mr. Sawyer of Alabama is visit¬ ing relattves in the county. FAITH. Ifave ye faith in one another, Wht n yju meet in friendship's name? For the friend should be a brother. And his heart should feel tho same. What tho’ your path may differ. Since the hour you first met; Still have faith in one another. You may need that friendship yet. Have ye faith in one another When you whisper love’s fond vow; It will not be always summer, Nor be always bright as snow. And when winter time comes o’er thee If some loving heart you share, And have faith in one another. Then you never need despair. Have ye faith in one anoiher. Nor to a douot rg heart lucl'ne; Doubts w il make this world a desert Where the sun wrl never shine. Tho’ you have some transient sorrow That o’shadows you to-day. If you have faith la one another Sorrow with you w ll not stay. Have ye faith in one another. And let honor be your guide; Let no angry words bo spoken. What else eve : may beliffo. Grief and.troubles may assail us— Yes, I have no doubt they will; Hut here faith in one another. For faith will conquer every ill. Myna Jack See those linen towels $1,50 per dozen at New York Store. There was quite an enjoyable party at Mr. Berry’s just below town last night. g£g“WINE OF CARDUI ft Tonic for Women. The free school question is pro¬ voking very little discussion. In fact the matter is rarely ever mentioned at all. What is the reason? Is the question unworthy of any dispute, or have the voters made up their minds to act in an unbroken rank and hedged them¬ selves in so as to be safe from in¬ fluence or appeals? The quietness of the matter is susceptible of two or more interpretations: (1) That the people to a unit are opposed to the bill; (2) That every one is in favor of it; or (3) That all are supremely indifferent as to whether tlxe bill becomes operative or not. One of these three is doubtless tlie reason for the pervading si¬ lence among the voters, but which one it is is hard to determine. A matter of so much importance should be thought over quietly, and the best interest of all con corned should be tlie controlling idea. Nothing should bo done hastily, nor should passion, prej udice or anything of that nature enter into a matter that bears upon the future welfare and pro gross of our city. Tlie verdict of any people, free from excitement, is uniformly right. And it is maintained that the action of our people on the 1st Saturday in De¬ cember will not constitute an ex¬ ception to the accepted rule. So far as we are concerned we are willing to abide the impartial wish of our citizens. Though there is little or up excitement over the matter still wo are confident that the subjqct has been engaging the attention df the voters. Best chewing tobacco in town at NoV York Store. Rev. W. D. Winburn of Rutledge visited in the city last week. He was looking splendidly. Mr. Guss Morgan of Hernando, Fla., is visiting relatives and friends in tho city. Ho will be here gome two weeks.

Some of our thoughtful citizens insist with commendable earnest¬ ness that Conyers is bound to be¬ come a manufacturing city. Ev¬ erything looks to that end and the common interest of all tend in that direction. If this be true, then why is it that our highly fa¬ vored people do not turn more of their capital to that department? The question, as all will admit, is a tough one, but still it can be an¬ swered. Our town is compara¬ tively young and but few of our monied men have had the time to inform themselves thoroughly the various lines of manu¬ facturing. Hence it will be seen that most of those who have the means to enter a new business with safety are slow to move. This is doubtless safer, because an unwise venture might possibly entail both loss and financial ruin. If this were the consequence the whole public confidence in manu¬ facturing would be shaken if not altogether destroyed. Then it is easy to understand wliy delay in this matter may in the end prove tlio more profitable and oneour aging. On tlie other band what industries we have are rating up as high as could be asked for, and this will excite interest in other lines so that in a short while wo will not be surprised to have Con¬ yers noted the world over as one among the foremost manufactur¬ ing cities. All this is in the range of possibility, and we bail the day with all the tumultuous enthusi¬ asm becoming the subject. Mr. Lem Granade, a young man of a largo acquaintance in this section, was badly mangled in a collision on tho Louisville and Nashville railroad Saturday last. He died from tho injuries Sunday morning. He was about 30 years old. His remains were brought to this place and this morning wil l bo Rockdale interred church. m the graveyard Mr. Granade at was a brother to Mrs. George W. Weaver of this place.
