Judging from the deep interest
manifested among the members of
the Conyers Volunteers and their
friends the Oyster Supper at the.
Selrnan house next Friday night
will record a most enjoyable event
for all the attendants. The Vol¬
unteers have gained the reputa¬
tion for succeeding in their under¬
takings and in this one particular
they propose to manfully sustain
themselves. Of course all our
people will enter in most heartily
in their sympathy with the Volun¬
teers. The supper is given with
a view to assist the company in
uniforming themselves. It is
generally conceded that the Vol¬
unteers are the pets of Conyers,
and as such all will feel proud of
the opportunity to contribute
something in a substantial way to
their support. Come out. Don’t
fail.

Mr. Howard Guffin died last
Sunday morning in Purcell, In¬
dian Territory. It will be remem¬
bered that he left here about one
year ago. Since his ’stay in the
Indian Territory he became con¬
vinced, so it is stated, that this is
a most excellent country and he
had made up his mind to return
to farming. A place had been
selected in Bethany neighbor¬
hood, and he was expected to be
in Conyors about christnjas.
However, he was stricken with
malarial or swamp fever and lived
but a short time. His remains
were placed upon the train Sun¬
day evening at 6 o’clock, and are
expected to be here tomorrow
morning- He will be buried at
Bethany church. Mr. Guffin was
a model Christian gentleman, and
his death is truly a sore misfor¬
tune to his family. To all the
grief-stricken ones we extend our
sympathy.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Whereas it has pleased the all¬
wise Creator to suddenly remove
from our Lodge our Brother Mil
ton Hollingsworth from among
us, therefore be it resolved,
1st. That we as Alliancemen
bow our heads in humble submis¬
sion to the will of him who doeth
all things well, and that in the
loss of our dear brother we havey
lost one of our bast citizens and
worthy alliancemen.
2nd. That we tender our sym¬
pathy to the bereaved family in
the loss of a good and kind hus¬
band, a kind and loving and af¬
fectionate father, that we have all
reasons to hope that their loss is
his eternal gain.
3rd. That a copy of these reso¬
lutions be spread upon the min¬
utes of our Lodge and a copy of
the same be given to the family of
the deceased and also to the
Rockdale Banner and Solid South

of our Lodge wear their regular

illustrating the fact that lazy

it up and put it in his pocket. not

with which he bought some cher¬

were dusty, and by-and-by the
man noticed that his son looked
tired and thirsty. A cherry fell
from his hand, as if by accident.
Eagerly the boy picked up the
precious fruit and ate it with de¬
light. A little further on another
cherry dropped, which was again
joyfully seized. In this way
every one of the olieries was drop¬
ped and picked up. When the
last had been eaten, “See,” said
the father, “If you had stopped
