CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1890.
TROUBLE AVERTED.
The threatened strike on the
Central railroad has been averted.
The obnoxious questions that
the management of the road
wanted the men to sign have been
withdrawn.
On last Saturday there was a
conference in Savannah between
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and
Mr. Cecil Gabbett, manager of
the Central railrQad.
As the result of that meeting
Mr. Gabbett withdrew the ques¬
tions, and all those papers that
have been signed heretofore will
will be returned to the men who
signed them. A different agree¬
ment has been reached. The gist
of the compromise is, that the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En¬
gineers will furnish the necessary
information about any of its mem¬
bers, and will not permit incom¬
petent men to hold positions.
That this great stike has been
averted is most fortunate for the
state, and for all the people di¬
rectly interested.
HUMOROUS.
Flower girls—The miller’s
daughter.
Hailstones intended for publi¬
cation are usually as big as hen’s
eggs.
When man knows that he can¬
not get out of the mud his next
impulse is to go in deeper.
That silence is gold is proved
by the fact that it is sometimes a
very costly article to buy.
The quantity of paper that jew¬
elers wrap around their goods
strike most people as a great
waste of tissue.
An American girl in France
who wanted to save cable tolls,
telegraphed to her father; “Mar¬
seilles Tuesday."
Writing poetry is recommended
as a mental exercise. You can
get physical exercise by attempt¬
ing to read it to the editor.!
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the grocer’s business
The finest in the land.
Foreman—What’s all that rack¬
et over there; somebody pied a
form? Printer—No, sir. Tbe
towel fell on the floor, that's all,
Photographers are the most
charitable of men, for they are
always onxious to take the best
view of their fellow-creatures.
“No, remarked Sonesby en
thusiastieaily “there’s nothing
like the hot water cure! It will
brake a man up when all other
remedies fail—er—Mrs. Slimdiet,
just let me have a cup of tea, if
you please?”
A good little boy in Georgia
who was kicked by a mule did
not say naughty words or go
home crying to his mother. He
just tied the mule within five feet
of a behive, backed him round to
it and let him kick.
HER ’REAL WORTH.
“Oh, Henry,” she sighed, as
she turned her radiant face up to
his, “tell me darling, tell me, do
you love me for my money, or for
what I am really worth?
“Why, • sweet,” he fondly re¬
plied, drawing her very near to
him, “for what you are really
worth, of course.”
“Bless you for those words,’
and she nestled in his loving
arms.
“By the way, dear,” asked Hen¬
ry, and he playfully fondled
diamond earrings, “ah—what are
you really worth.
APPEALS TO BOTH.
Collector.—“I would like to see
Mr. Maid.—“He’s Jaysmith.” out’ sir.”
Collector (mournfully)—“So am
I.”—Judge.
A Curious Episode of the War.
A veteran of the Connecti
cut Regimeut of Volunteers keeps
at home a handsome uniform of a
Confederate officer which was
never worn but by himsolf, and to
which he owes some months or
years of liberty, if not life itself.
He was a tailor before the civil
war, and when he was captured
upon a Southern battlefield this
fact reached the ears of the com¬
mander of the prisoners’ bar¬
racks.
“Egad! I’ll have the Yankee
goosepusher make me a new suit,
said the officer, gazing at his din¬
gy uniform.
The finest gray cloth, gold lace
and bright buttons were brought
to the tailor prison, who worked
cheerfully away at the welcome
employment. On the evening the
suit was to be delivered, however,
a bright idea occurred to him, and
soon what was to all appearances
a spruce Confederate officer
walked past the guards, and was
seen no more in that part of Dixie.
History kindly draws the veil
over the expletives vented against
the “nutmeg Yankee” for not on¬
ly gaining his liberty—he earned
that—but for taking that precious
suit, which cost so many hundred
dollars of good Confederate mon¬
ey.—Harper’s Magazine.

San Marino, in Italy, on the
coast of the Adriatic Sea, is the
oldest Republic in the world. It
is, next to Monaco, the smallest
State in Europe. The exact date
of the enstallment of this Repub¬
lic is not known, but according to
tradition, it was in the fourth cen¬
tury, by Marinus, a Dalmation
hermit, and has ever since re¬
mained independent. It is moun¬
tainous, and contains four or five
villages. The word “Liberty” is
inscribed on its capitol. It is the
smallest republic in the world,
has a novel method of choosing
its presidents, There are m pri¬
maries, no conventions, no namiJJ
nations, no election, All the of¬
ficials of the commonwealth go to
the principal church of San Mari¬
no, the capital, where the names
of the sixty members of the grand
council are placed in a silver urn.

FOETH WOBTH’S FATAL FIEE
W, Hayne, a railvoaci contrac¬
tor, is the only victim of the
spring palace fire who lost his
life. There were 3,000 persons in
the building and all got out in
less than three minutes. Many
jumped from second story win¬
dows and were injured, but the
indications are that no deaths will
result. Mr. Hayne threw a num¬
ber of women and children from
second-story windows and then
leaped to the ground with a
senseless woman in his arms. His
clothes were ail ablaze, and he
broke several bones in his leap.
He died at 1:40 o’clock next day.
Thirty people are reported
The fire started from some one
trapling on a sulphur match.
The loss is estimated at $ 100 , 000 ,
exclusive of exhibits of historical
value. There was $15,000 insur¬
ance on the building. The pal¬
ace was to close on Sunday, and
had been a pbenominal success.
Many hundreds of persons had
come from other states to see it.
The whole state suffers through,
its destruction.

The production of beer in the
United States in 1889 w r as 25,098,-
765 barrels. In 1875 it was 8 ,
383,720 barrels. Mark the in¬
crease, and ask if it is not about
time that the tide should turn.
Of the wholesale liquor-dealers
in this country sixty-five per cent,
are foreigners; of the brewers sev¬
enty fiveyer cent., and of the sa¬
loon-keepers ninety three per
cent. This looks as if the whole
business was pretty ranch in the
hands of foreigners.
The statue of Liberty on Bedloe’s
Island ought to let go her torch,
and in its place hold up to the in¬
coming emigrants a keg of lager
beer or a demijhon of whisky.
By the way some politicians talk
one would think it is not Liberty
that the foreigners are after, but
as much intoxicating drinks as
they can pay for or get treated to.
It is well that liberty has her nose
seaward, if it was the other way
she would have to hold a pocket
handkerchief tq her nose.
The frame-work of society is in
the home. Home always ought
to be spelled with a capital H, in
the hearts of those who have a
right to share in its joys and sor¬
rows. It is a very had sign for
a man or woman to learn to pre¬
fer some other place to home and
some other friends to those who
live under the same roof. It the
saloon was guilty of no other or
greater offence against humanity
than to cause men to alight their
huines for the society of the bar¬
room, that would bo a sufficient
reason for calling it a vicious in¬
stitution.
At a temperance meeting where
several related their experiences,
a humorous Irishman w r as ac¬
knowledged to be the chief speak¬
er. He had on a pair of fine new
boots. Said he, “A week after I
signed the pledge, I met an old
friend, and he says, ‘Them’s a fine
pair of boots you have on.’
They are,’ says I ‘and by the same
token, ’twas the saloon-keeper
who gave them to me.’ ‘That was
generous of him,’ says he. Tt
was,’ says I; ‘but I made a bargan bis
with him. He was to keep
drink and I was to keep my these money. fine
My money bought best me of the bar¬
boots. I got the
gain, and I’m going to stick to it.”

Well, what of it?--Supposing a

A Letter From An Eminent Divine In

WONDERFUL CURES
8ix Atlanta, Ga., January 2. 1890.
months ago, at the request or a friend
who was interested In the sale of Kind’s Roy¬
al Gerraetuer, I made a written statement of
the benefits I had received from the use of
lhat medicine. In that statement I expressed
the belief that it would cure me entirely of
Catarrh. Within the last two months I nave
received letters from every quarter of the na¬
tion callintr on mo for further information In
regard for to to my write health. privately It has each been Impossible who
mo to person
lias made this request, and I am therefore
under tho necessity of making 1 another pub¬
lic statoment.
I am free from Catarrh. I believe that I
could got a certificate to this effect from any
competent physician. I have used no medi¬
cine within the last six months except King’s
Royal than been Germetuer. thirty My health is better possession than
I In yearR. I am in
of information which warrants me in saying
that the the relief which I have experienced certain from
use of the medicine Is not more
hundreds and radical of than that which in Georgia it has brought other to
persons and
Stales.
I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that the
effects of this remedy upon my wife have
been even more signal life-long and wonderful. She
has been almost a invalid from Ner¬
vous Headache. Neuralgia and Rheumatism.
In a period of exemption thirty years she has scarcely has
had a day’s from pain. She
been using Germetuor about two months. A
more complete transformation I have never
witnessed. Every symptom of disease has
disappeared. and She Is appears happy to and be twenty playful years
younger, as as a
