Acker's English pills are a ‘positive and all liver cure for siek-headache troubles. They are small, sweet, easily taken, and do not gripe. Dr. M. R. Stewart, Druggist. CONYERS.

Granger, died last Sun¬ day morning at 5 o’clock, The cause of his death was a severe beating received at the house of Madam Looney a few days before. His body was brought yesterday to this county for burial. —Last Saturday Sheriff Austin of this county found that the ne¬ groes in our jail were making considerable progress towards getting out. They had obtained a few rough tools, and with these had forged one key and had another begun which seemed like¬ ly to be a success, had it not been discovered before finished.— Hull not the grand jury look into the matter of havingthe jail enclosed? —I used last year three kinds of guano, the Old Dominion, Baldwin’s and Rockdale Standard I used the same quantity of each in the same field. The result showed that Rockdale beat Bald¬ win's and was equally as good as the Old Dominion. Levi M. II elbobn. The above is only one out of the many testimonials. Then why not patronize home indus¬ tries? Another Opportunity. Conyers will likely soon have an opportunity to acquire a new railroad, the M. G. & A. This cannot be done without some sacrifice. Are our citizens ready for the sacrifice? In our opinion it would pay many times the sacrifice in five years. Now let’s all to the wheel and give a push—one united, deter¬ mined effort. With competing and thorough rates of freight, Conyers could put on new life like many Geor¬ gia towns have recently done. We believe our citizens want it, and will have it.

Illustrated Sermons. The fourth Sabbath night of last month Dr. Quigg preached the first of a series of illustrated sermons. There was a large at¬ tendance, and the sermon highly complimented. In other words, it was a success. The greatest revolution of the universe will be presented next Sabbath night at the Presbyteri¬ an church in the Temptation, Fall and Expulsion fro n Eden of our first parents. Such illustra¬ ted scenes can never be and nev¬ er should be forgotten, The heart will be impressed through both the eye and the ear. Everybody is cordially invited to attend. Guess Who Came very near being reproved last Tuesday night at the Meth¬ odist church for talking loudly. The young lady was who wrote her caller and asked him to come “tomorrow night instead of to¬ night as another fellow is coming to see sister to night, and we could not enjoy ourseives so well, you know.” Hymeneal.

Most of our sick are convales cmg. Col. Holder lost his fine buggy horse, “Charlie” last week. Miss Lilie Everett visited Miss Ola Jackson Saturday and Sunday Dr. W. W. Evans of Oxford was in our vicinity professionally Sun¬ day. We understand that a surprise party was given to Misses Allie and Loulio Wallis at their new home by their young friends last Tuesday evening. In our last weeks locals wo stated that Mrs. William Preston cf Rutledge visited Mrs. D. T. Stone, etc. We should have said Mrs. William Parker. The writer has been finding out this week some of the fashions in other things besides clothes, as fashions are followed in Alraon. We have watched the succeeding fads like Buddhism, the Browing mania, the mind-cure craze and Russomania, and have discovered that they are all consigned to the past and oblivion; but just now wo observe that nearly everyone in our section has a new fad, which we presume might justly be called the “dog mania.” One young man has such a tender spot in his nature for the canine animal that, ’tis said, he pays board and lodging for three. On oae plantation near by there are eleven canines, and all apparently enjoying all the luxuries of mod¬ ern civilization, with no hint of the depression in agriculture. And another, more economical in his tastes, ha'.ing quite a number of yellow and for spotted beauties, victuals” “lets them out their and kennel. These gentlemanly and lady like specimen of the ca¬ nine specie are living as becomes the cultured on the unearned in¬ crement. it would grieve them to be molested, and truly ’twould be capital punishment to drive them off.
