The Conyers Volunteers was one of the finest looking compa¬ nies in the procession in Atlanta on Memorial day. And our peo¬ ple are very proud of the compa¬ ny, and the company certainly ap¬ preciates the aid from the citizens in the past; and just at this time would appreciate a little more of the same kind to aid and'assist some of our young men to get them a dress uniform, Let the citizens call a meeting and make up a purse of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars, which amount, with the cash on hand, will fully uni¬ form the company.

Di.M.R. Stewart, Druggist, A Brilliant Marriage* The marriage of Will C. Goode and Miss Sallie Almand at the home of the bride in this county, on last Wednesday afternoon, was one of the most brilliant society events that have ever occurred in our county.

The happy young cou¬ ple handsome were the recipients of many and valuable presents. The bride is one of the most beautiful and lovely young ladies of Rockdale county.

The wheat crop is not so prom¬ ising as thought to be heretofore .ZEsop Says, “Every man carries Two Wallets—one before and one behind, and both full of faults, But the one before is full of his neighbor’s faults; the one behind of his own,” Thus it happens that men are blind to their own faults, but never lose Sight of their neighbor’s, Men Should always speak well of their neigh¬ bors, and if it is an impossibility to do that, never speak al all, The qestion comes who is thy neighbor? Not the man that lives next door to you thats pro¬ bably is a vagabond oran inebri¬ ate, or Sabbath braker, liar, Infi¬ del, extortioner, Thief, and every thing else but a gentleman, and thinks that every inhabitant of the United Stats are dishonest and corrupt We think it takes a God loving, and a God Serving and feuring man to make a neighbor, One that takes the “Holy Writ” as his guide, always Speaks the whole truth in every particular; pays bis debts, deals honestly with his fellow man, philanthropic, corte ous, charitable, temperate, and Just, “Now let us hear the con¬ clusion of the whole matter fear God and Keep his command¬ ments,” Yours Truly Dixie.
