Mr. Tom Anderson of Lithonia
was in the city last week.
Up to this hour of going to
press we have not received our
thanksgi ving turkey. Our friends,
we feel assured, will not be neg¬
lectful in a matter of this kind.
If they do we will certainly be
painfully disappointed.
We understand that Mr. Tom
Rice has bought the Ivnox place,
26 acres of land, and the Night
house and lot, in the lower part
of town. He is tearing down the
old house on the Kuox place and
intends, as it is said, to build up
a nice dwelling on the Night lot.
Mr. Rice has a most desirable
home. •
J. H. Almand & Co will sell you

Good fires are now in demand.
Overcoats are fasionable.
News fresh and loud comes to
us from over the wires that a cer¬
tain buxom lad of this city now
knows the difference by a slight
touch between a squirrel and a
pole-cat. Some people learn by
observation, while others are
taught at the sober but stern
school of experience.

Col. J. N. Hale has sold out the
Heury County Times to Mr.

Johnson to the ranks and wish
him an abundant prosperity.

ELISHA GOES A-HUNTlNG.
Last Friday night Captain
James Elisha Maddox and squad
went out hunting, ostensibly for
possums, but more particularly
for the obsquotulation of the
ghosts which are reported to have ,
taken up their earthly habitation
in the skirt of woods in the rear of
Squire Willis Irwin's. The raid
was made amid great yelling, the
loud blowing of horns and other
tremendous spectacular manifes¬
tations. The attack was success¬
ful. Though Friday night, the
night when ghosts, wizzards,
witches and other super-natural
and strange notables are sup¬
posed to put in their appearances
and thus chill the blood, lift the
hair and start the legs of the late
traveler to moving with a
determination to get away—all
these things on the brain of the
company and weighing down like
a thousand of brick, still the
courageous squad sallied forth.
They romped, and cut up a dust
pretty extravagantly, but we are
proud to say they all made'the
trip without either injury to them¬
selves or the ghosts. We are
forced to the conclusion, all things
considered, to cherish the un¬
stinted belief that the ghosts, after
debating the matter hurriedly sim¬
ply resolved to vamoose the hab¬
itation for one night at least as
their safety seemed to call forth
such action. At 12, midnight,
the brave hunters met in the pub¬
lic road this side of Mr. J. W.
Farmer’s and after circling around
their higlx-headed chieftain, and
after sounding his praises for
sometime they finally united in
one stentorian outburst of “Three
cheers and a tiger” for our great
leader. At present Mr. Maddox
is well. The rest of the company
are in the usual health.
If you have not registered make
it a point to attoncl to the matter
right away. The book closes on
Dec. 6th.
Miss Mary Longshore, a most
charming young lady of Social
Circle, is visiting Miss Sallie, the
beautiful and attractive daughter
of Mr. Z. T. Almand.
We are pleased to note the im¬
provement of Mr. Robt. L. Guffin.
Friend Robert has had a serious
spell, but nothing happening, he
will soon be able to be on the
streets again.
School at Oakland Seminary, un¬
der charge of Prof. Murray, clos¬
ed its fall term last Friday. Du¬
ring the term the attendance has
been reasonably good. As an
instructor Prof. Murray has a fine
reputation.
Hog killings, sausage, chitter¬
lings, etc. All this makes us
proud that we are living.
Mr. W. V. Almand killed his 18
month old pig yesterday and it
weighed, net, 429 pounds. This
is a fine showing.
McElree’»WINE OF CARDUI foi female diseases.
A man was in Griffin Thursday
who the Call thinks may be Rube
Burrows. He left before an at¬
tempt was made to arrest him.
The farmer who says he has
not the time to read a paper that
is laboring to support the cause
in which he is most interested
makes the acknowledgement at
once that he has turned too much
of his business over to the other
fellows. This position is a should grand
mistake of the farmer. He
endeavor to conduct his business
so that he can have time to read;
and by so doing he can post him
self on questions wherein he will
be able to cope with the other
fellows, who are speculating at
his expense.
On the first Saturday in next
month the citizens of Conyers will
elect a mayor and board of alder
men. At the same time the voters
w r ill express themselves on the
school bill. So far there appears
to be little or no interest taken in
the matter. To use a common
political phrase on that day the
people may as well prepare them¬
selves for a ground burst. It
really seems next to impossible to
tell how the voters stand on the
question of a free school. How
ever, Avt? shall await the result
with an abiding faith that what is
best will be done or at least we
are confident that a free and.fall
expre^reynty wUl be
come the wish of all.
A. Q. C. CO. ORGANIZES.
Last Wednesday, the IRtli, the
stockholders of the A. Q. C. Com¬
pany met at the court house in
Conyers to effect a temporary or¬
ganization preparatory to getting
a charter at the February term of
the superior court, and to get
Toady for some work during the
winter months.
The following were the officers
elected: President, Dr. J. A.
Stewart. Directors: Cob J. C.
Barton, Hon. W. L. Peek, G. W.
Weaver, R. W. Tucker and Grier
Quigg. Col. Peek having sent in
his resignation at a moeting of
the Directors, the vacancy was
filled by the election of C. M.
Taylor.
J. J. Langford was elected
Treasurer, and T. D. O'Kelley
Secretary.
On motion the stockholders
were requested to pay their as¬
sessments as soon as convenient,
and by the 25th of December at
any rate.
It was also decided that the
Secretary should receive all mon¬
ey paid into the company, and
that he should turn the same over
to the Treasurer.
Seldom has a company been
organized with such flattering
prospects.
Just now is a very propitious
time of tho year to inspect flues
and make good joints in stove
pipes. A little precaution in this
particular may save you tho tri¬
fling expense of building you a
new house.
Did you ever ask a man the
time just after he had inspected
his watch and put it in his pocket?
If so, did you ever receive an
answer before the man pulled his
watch out and took another look
at it? Just why it is that this
is done it would be difficult to
explain; but if you will ask your
friend to tell you the hour next
time you observe him scrutinize
his watch and snap the lid, you
will find that he will generally
take another look at the dial be¬
fore giving an answer.
Dept. Sheriff John M. Day of
this county with his brother Bob,
left last week for the beaver-haunt¬
ed swamps of Alabama, where
they will engage in a month or
two of winter trapping.
We are glad to learn that Ag
ness, the little daughter of Grier
Quigg of this place, and who has
been for several days very sick
with tonsilitis, is very much better
this morning.
It is not creditable to a man
who is in arrears for his paper,
when a bill is presented for Iris
subscription to order it discon¬
tinued, and not even pay up then.
Every newpaper in the country
knows of such men, but fortunate¬
ly there are very few numbered
among the Banner’s list.
Miss Emma Almand visited
Miss Ida Almand in he country
last week.
Rev. J. S. Moore D. D., who
has taken charge of the Methodist
church at Conyers since Dr.
Pierce's affliction, will preach
here on 1st Sunday in December,
which will probably be his last
Sunday for the year. He requests
us to state to the subscribers on
his Missionary and Conference
collections, that they should be
paid this week so the money can
be sent to Conference. The lists
are in the hands of W. E. McCal
la for collection.

This from our generally good
natured contemporary is putty
tough viewed from any standpoint.
So far as being “slaughtered by a
bill,” is concerned, that in tho
main may be correct, but it ap¬
pears that the multiplication of
“bills” that is necessary to sup¬
port the system is the real trouble.
We dare say there is not a single
individual in tho city but would
like to see tho school system of
Conyers betterod, although it is
at present quite good. No ouo
would object to having every
and girl in our community educa¬
ted not only in tho rudiments but
in the classic branches, but there
are objections to the present
well as proposed system. Ono
thingis educating the
and paying for it is
another thing and a
different thing. Granting
proposed system is debatable,
same may really be said of
other system, and the
might be continued almost
out end; but all are ready to ad¬
mit, we suppose, that education is
an acquirement and suppiies wliat
nothing eke will, still the ques¬
tion of method will remain as it
has for ages a disputed matter of
municipal, state, and govermental
polities. On the 1st Saturday in
Dec. next our people will express
their preference on the “slaught¬
ered bill,” as our talented brother
terms it.

DR.J.L. PIERCE.
Last Friday at 12 o'clock Dr. J.
L. Pierce and his estimable wife
left Conyers for Texarkana, Ark.,
near the line of Texas. The Doc¬
tor is in exceedingly feeble health,
and they have gone to stay with
their children and other relatives
west of the Mississippi.
Not often in the history of Con¬
yers have there been so many sad
faces on our streets as there were
last Friday when this venerablo
“father iu Israel’’ passed on his
way to the rail road station.
Many dear friends bade liim
“good-bye,” praying that the
Lord bo with him iu his ®ist days.
Some of his best friends could not
summon courago even to shako
the good old man’s hand, lest
they should burst into weeping
like children; others, while shak¬
ing his hand, were too much mov¬
ed to utter their hearts’ desire,
namely, that the Lord bo with
him till they meet again—in
Heaven. We never expect to see
him in Conyers any more. Ho
carries with him the blessings and
host wishes of all good people in
Georgia.
The Doctor loves his native
state tho scene of nearly all his
labors and those of his brothers,
and tho home of his remarkable
father; and he has directed that
tho sod on the “rod old hills
Georgia” shall cover his
when he is dead.
To tho good man tho
extends an affectionate “Good¬
bye aurevoir.”
Some one estimates that
ting born costs tho people of
United States $225,000,000
ally; getting married,
getting buried, $75,000,000.
this calculation it will be
that the people of the
States can save millions of
annually by stopping
born and buried, and
tho cheaper of the threo
getting married.
