Stewart of Newton county, the mother of our fellow citizen, W. R. Stewart, died last Saturday Get. 25th. She lost the use of her right side some seven years ago and has not been able to walk since that time, After a few hours of illness she passed away, and is at rest in her home where she has longed to be with her Savior. She leaves a husband and threechildren to mourn her death. Wellhouse & Sons, a strong firm of paper men in Atlanta, have purchased the property in this county belonging to Stewart Bros, of Atlanta. This includes the Pa¬ per Mills and nearly two hundred acres of land. While it is painful to part with gentlemen like Messrs. George and Will Stewart, yet we heartily welcome their suc¬ cessors, and hope with their more available cash with which to carry on and enlarge the work, much may be added to the general pros¬ perity of onr county. Now is tho time for our citizens to give another united pull to climb the hill of greater prosperity. Conyers ’ High School.

At 8:30 o’clock several negroes were seep on tfce streets with pis¬ tols. One came into Mr. G. W. Johnson’s store and enquired Ifor the man that made the arrest, and said that he would be d—d if any man in town could arrest him. A councilman who was in the store remarked that the negro should be arrested. Mr. Jasper Jenkins, dept. Sheriff, and the marshal started after the negro to arrest him, when he turned on them, shooting four times, only one shot taking effect, striking Mr. Jenkins just in the rear cf the right nipple. Dr. Trotter was sen t for, who removed the ball, which had lodged near the backbone, The wound is not thought to be fatal. The negroes name is Arch Jones. He is of a dark ginger cake color, 5 feet 10 inches in hight, 175 lbs. weight. A reward of two hundred dol¬ lars has been offered for his cap¬ ture. When last heard from he had not been caught. It ts thought that the negro was shot twice. Gratifying to All. The high position attained and the universal acceptance and ap oroval of the pleasant liquid fruit the remedy Syrup of Figs, as il¬ most excellent laxative known, lustrate the value of the qualities of which its success is based and are abundantly gratifying to the California Fig Syrup Company. A DIRTY CIRCULAR. Livingston Denies, and Galls the Letter an "Infamous Forgery.” A double circular is being dis¬ tributed throughout this con gressional district to injure Col. Livingston in his race next Tues¬ day. It is low and infamous in the greatest degree, if false as Col. Livingston states. We hope that he will be able to show the two letters to be “infamous forgeries.” Below we publish the two let¬ ters which are sworn to by John Livingston, President of the Farmers’ Alliance of New York. THE LETTERS. Office of R. L. Burks, Secre¬ tary Georgia State Alliance, 25 W. Hunter Street, Atlanta, Ga., July New 30th, 1890.—John Livingston, York: My Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th and letters of peevious date were received. I am glad to know that you agree with me that the question of relief to the farm¬ ers is one of present and pressing necessity. is “Revolution or relief” about the way to put it. Our people have been educated to stand together and are doing so nobly now in many sections of the country. We are wattling the Congress Qft Appropriations and we have some “Alliance Corps” now in Congress and others “on the run” and perhaps this will cause least a (6) halt. six Georgia (10) will (with send at out of ten Governor and both Houses State Legislature) States will to Congress, well. The other do as ac¬ tion of Huntington and Brice is shameful. We will meet them at the open political grave that is being dug for them.

Gor¬ don is much weaker in Georgia than the public is aware of. Ho is not a business man. Qur peo¬ ple are tired of Generals and bloody shirts. We want business _ men for Congress, and we are de iermined to have them, I shall not endorse him, while I do not antagonize him. My only trouble will be, can I keep down ifie de man d by the people for his defeat. This seems to be necessary to es c:pe complications. 1 am once more in my office and hope to be able to keep up with my corres¬ pondence, So pardon mo for past neglect and accept my thanks for past suggestions and friendly admonitions. Father is quite well and sends his regards. We are without doubt descendants from the same family. Write me. Yours sincerely, L. F. Livingston.

Subscribed and sworn tp before me, by said John Livingston, who is to me personally known, this day of October, Mayor of tbo City of Bin = tori ’ x ’ the denial. T GNow/ this letter purporting to be signed by myself and sent to John Livingston, is a fr&ud and 6utirBly a snl^btitution for wliat I did say. Instead oi saving we wanted the Lodge bid or something like it, I tokl him emphatically we did not want it. and among other reasons for my oppositian I wrote it would m eet thl „ wav between the races and in end a wider alienation of the sections of this country, and rflcnlfa (>nnl Pu not be other than C and all people of our country.

Livingston concludes his denial as follows: “There's more in this circular than appears on the surface. I imagine republican it was gotton up by my opponents who have received encouragement from the alleged which died Jeffersonian movement still, born. But for that movement of the opposition to the majority of tho democratic party of the district there would have been no slanders like this. Yes, the republicans are evidently being urged on by a few men who are seeking to disrupt the lemoeratie party for their own personal aggrandizement.” In the above account we have not given the whole of the circu¬ lar, nor the whole of Cal, Living¬ ston’s denial; our space would not allow. We have given, however, the principal rts of each. The Pulpit and the Stage. Rev. F. M. Slirout, Pastor Unit¬ ed Brethren Church, Blue Mound, Kan., says: “I felt it my duty to tell what wonders Dr. King's New Discovery has done for mo. My Lungs were badly diseased, and my parishioners thought I could live only a, few weeks. I took five bottles of Dr. King’s New Dis¬ covery aid am sound and well, gaining 26 lbs. in weight. Arthur Love, Manger Love’s Funny Folks Combination, writes: “After a thorough trial and con¬ vincing evidence, I am confident Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, beats 'em all, and cures when everything else fails. The greatest kindness I can do my many thousand friends is to urge them to try it.” Free trial bottles at Dr. W. H- Lee <fc Son's Drug Store. Regular sizes 50c. and $1.00. LOCALS FROM ALMON.
