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.

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

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¬

opportunities presented and pass

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.

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.

JESSE W. JONES.
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.
