It’s an old saying that “The
proof of the pudding is in the
eating of it.” And it is because
people have taken Simmons Liv¬
er Regulator that they know it to
be a most excellent medicine and
especially for the Spring and Fall
when there is so mnch Maliria in
_____
the air. Mr. W.T.Lee,of Pendle¬
ton, N.C, says. “I have used Sim
mons Liver Regulator for twenty
years, in place of calomel and
quinine.
Mr. J. J. Knight, of near Mc¬
Donough, is visiting relatives in
our town to-day.

Local News Items.
Read the annual report of the
County Treasurer in this issue.
Mrs. Langston, of Gainesville,
was in our town this week selling
the celebrated California medica¬
ted soap. Mrs. Langston sold
the agency for the soap to Dr.
W. H. Lee.
By calling at Dr. W. H. Lee's
drugstore in Conyers you can get
a bottle of that remarkable reme¬
dy, Scott's Carbo-Digesiive Com¬
pound. If you are suffering from
indigestion, try it.
That cotton mill subject.
Where is it? Have you dropped
it? Let's agitate the subject and
push it and have the mill if possi¬
ble. Such offers will not always
strive with Conyers. Once with¬
drawn it may stand so forever.
Capt. W. T. Huson’s announce¬
ment appears in this issue. No
county in Georgia has a better
qualified man for Clerk of Court
than he, and his record as an offi¬
cer in past years is highly com¬
plimentary. No one doubts his
re-election.
Mrs. Jas. Hollingsworth, son
and daughter, Leo and Miss Eu¬
nice, went to Hayston last Satur¬
day on a visit. Mrs. Hollings¬
worth and Leo returned home
«
Monday, but Miss Eunice will re¬
main several days with her sister
at that place.
We will give our readers a let
ter from Miss Layout; Glenn in
our next issue. It will be remem¬
bered that Miss Layona a mis¬
sionary from our town to Brazil,
and her letters are always full of
interesting news and are read
with delight.
Judge A. M. Helms’ announce¬
ment is in this issue. Judge Helms
has made a good Ordinary during
the short time he has held the
office and the best interests of the
county will not suffer under his
excellent management. The peo
pie will do well to re-e’ect him.
If our people let the opportun¬
ity of getting the cotton mill go
by, they will miss as many other
great things in the future that
will be of equally as great good
to our county. We hardly be¬
lieve the people are so selfish as
to scorn the liberal offer tendered
them.
Sallie Carr, who has given our
•ourts no little trouble in the last
two years, has been sentenced to
DeKalb county chain gang for
six months, or she must leave the
county in ten days and never re¬
turn, with the distinct understand¬
ing that she must “go so»th“
Prof. A. D. Hammock closed
his school at Oak Grove last Fri¬
day evening. He is now handling
type in the Banner office and will
soon be a full pledged typo,
judging from his rapid progress.
It is his ambition to enter the
newspaper field and we are al¬
most sure he will succeed.
Yesterday afternoon at 1 oeloek
in Atlanta, Mr. N. B. Hudson
and Miss Oma Daniel were united
in marriage, Both these young
people are well known to every
body here and they have num¬
bers of friends here who bold
them in high esteem and join the
Banner in the warmest congratu¬ will
lations. Their future home
be in Rome, Ga.
Last Tuesday morning the Con
vers Bagging Co. opened up and
begun business out at the Union
Paper Mills plant, with Maj. E.
H. Almand as manager. This bit
of enterprise is heartily welcome
to our county and, with its clear¬
headed business m anager at its
helm, will move on to success.
We are informed by a gentle¬
man who has a right to know that
the cotton mills are almost as¬
sured. and that by next Saturday
the amount required will have
been subscribed. This is gratify¬
ing news and we hope to see more
of our citizens actively engaged in
helping this enterprise.

$100 REWARD, $100.
The readers of this paper will
be pleased to iearn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
soience has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting direct upon the klood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby distroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa¬
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprie¬
tors haye so much faith in its cur¬
ative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for
Testimonials. Address.
