CONYERS, GA., AUG. 26, 1897
The increase in the pro¬
duction of gold in all parts
of the world is proving free-sil¬ very
discouraging to the
ver theorists.
The Banner is truly glad
to hear that editor Si Haw¬
kins, of the Covington Enter¬
prise, is recovering from a
long spell of sickness. We
sincerely trust that he will
soon be entirely well.
It’s pretty warm weather,
but it has no effect on the
witty hopper of the Way
cross Journal, which has just
dropped the statement that
truth crushed to earth can¬
not be made to lie even there.

A Georgia preacher has
recently been lecturing on
heathenism in foreign lands.
As Rev. Mark Matthews
would say, he is going a long
way to hunt game, when he
can kill more nearer home.—

The value of the silver
dollar has fallen 10 cents
and the price of wheat has
risen 25 cents per bushel
since the free coinage orators
were insisting last year that
wheat and silver went hand
and hand as to prices.
Business must indeed be
bright when the New York
Journal, which a year ago
was insisting that nothing
but the free coinage of silver
could bring prosperity to the
United States, has published
a full page article showing
a prosperous condition iti
New York and the countrv

over.
The dreaded San Jose
scale has made its appearance
in some of the orchards and
and nurseries of Georgia, and
it behooves those who are in¬
terested in fruit to be on their
guard against its depreda¬
tions. It is very destructive,
though so minute in size as
to be barely discernible by
the naked eye.—Sparta Ish
malite.
The Conyers cotton buy¬
ers all are the getting ready to buy
cotton around this
immediate section and a
great deal from distant terri¬
tory. warehouse Conyers has ample
facilities for
handling miles all the cotton for
around and the
best prices for the staple
will be paid here. Last year
best Conyers was actually the
this priced cotton market in
section. The farmers
who made a test of this know
the statement is true, and
that reputation will be main¬
tained the coming season.
i i Paranoia, says the
Brunswick Times, V ( is the
devils nickname for outwit¬
ting the law. It can be
used as a general term to de¬
scribe the condition of a
criminal who, having com¬
mitted a heinous act, seeks
to convince the public that
lie didn’t know it was wrong.
It is productive of fat fees
for shrewd lawyers and lean
public purses, the latter
made so by the expense bills
of long trials in slow courts.
“The evidence accumulates
with each day’s advices that
the long- continued depres¬
sion in financial circles has
passed, and thanks to five
years of forced economy and
cessation of speculation,
coupled with to-day’s abun¬
dant harvest at remunerative
prices to the agriculturists,
a new prosperity is coming
to the people.”—From ad¬
dress of Comptroller Eckles
(Dem.) before American
Bankers’ Association, Aug.
18, 1897._
A Reading, Pa., man with
a little more money, perhaps
than he knew what to do
with, attended an evengelical
camp meeting the other day
near his home, and while the
missionary collection was be¬
ing taken up he offered to
give $100 to the cause for
every minister who would
shaye off his mustache.
He was very promptly taken the
up by one of them, and
$100 was put in the till.
There is a good suggestion
here for ministers who are
long in mustaches and short
on collections. They might
telegraph for the generous
contributo r.—Savannah
News.
STATE TAX.
The tax rate for the state
of Georgia for the year 1897
has been fixed.
The rate, based on proper¬
ty returns of $410,000,000, is
5.21 mills per 100 cents,
which is divided as follows :
School fund 1.50 mills
Sinking: fund to retire public debt....0,26 mills
Pension............................ ,1.50 mills
General governmental purposes. 1.95 mills
Total 5 21 mills
This is an increase of 65 cents
per 1,000 over last year,
making the increase in reve¬
nue of over $266,000.
Last year the rate was
4.56 mills per 100 cents, but
the appropriations million were dol¬
over a quarter for
lars less than the present
The increase was made
necessary by the big decrease
in the returns from all over
the state, the large pension
and school appropriations
and other items of expense.
INTELLIGENT WOMEN
No longer doubt the value of
Bellamy’s Gossypium. They
openly acknowledge that it does
positively cure the multitude of
painful ailments peculiar to wo¬
men.
Mrs. J. W. Spinks, Jackson,
Miss., writes: “I have used Bel¬
lamy's Gossypinn in my family
for female weakness and men¬
strual disorders with best results
when all other failed," Price $1.00

Druggists or by Bellamy Mfg.

It is thought that the foolish
man who went in search of the
North Pole in a balloon, is lost.
Death is the legitimate fruit of
such foolhardiness.—Ex
HAS NINE WIVES.
Chicago has discovered in its
midst a most unique and extraor¬
dinary polygamist in the person
one Bates, who was arrested first
as a bigamist, but since that time
wife No. 8 has been found and
wife No. 9 is expected to arrive at
any moment to still futher com
plicate the situation. According
to the. -evidence, Bates used to
spend one day of the week with
each one in turn until he came
to number 8, when he would, no
doubt, skip a day. Just before
his release on bail he published
an advertisement calling a meet
ing of “all the wives or alleged
wives, ”of one Bates, and, though
it has not yet been stated, they
no doubt had an interesting time
of it. It is difficult, in any event
to escape the conclusion that
Bates was crazy, and that the
women were very easily duped.
He will no doubt welcome a term
in the penitentiary if thereby he
can escape the wrath of the nine
angry Amazons.
THERE IS NOTHING SO
GOOD.
There is nothing just as good
as Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
so demand it and do not permit
the dealer to sell you some sub¬
stitute. Ha will not claim there
is anything better, but in order
to make more profit he may claim
something else to be just as good.
You want Dr. King's New Dis
covery because you know it to be
safe and reliable, and guaranted
to do good or money refunded.
For Coughs, Colds, Consumption
and for all affections of Throat,
Chest and Lung's, there is noth¬
ing so good as is Dr. King's New
