Mr. Walter Wood's mare, Mar¬ line Roy, in the recent trotting race at Machen, out trotted everything on the track, and there were some twenty horses in the race, some of which were rated as low as 2 25. Taking into consid¬ eration the excellent qualities of of this mare and hertrottiug ca¬ pacity, Mr. Wood has one of the finest mares in the state. She is perfectly safe, and even a small child might drive her without be¬ ing in any danger. PERRY HANGED. Yesterday at 11:48 o’clock the sheriff of DeKalb county sprung the trigger and H. S. Perry, the murderer of Bely Lanier at Deca¬ tur last March, dropped into eter¬ nity. Perry displayed wonderful nerve throughout the whole pro¬ ceedings. His remains will be buried to-day at Auburn, Ga., in the family burying ground of bis wife’s people. MRS. PARKER DEAD.

The Conyers Public School opened last Monday morning with 180 pupils, and it is probable that this number will be increased con¬ siderably as the term progresses. It is reasonable to judge from this favorable beginning that the com¬ ing year will be one of unequaled BED WETTING is rarely the fault of children.

Each department is well filled, both as to teachers and pupils, and Prof. Stark, the superinten¬ dent, has every thing well arran¬ ged and may be congratulated up¬ on the good work which the open¬ ing shows he has done. Miss Minnie Smith, Miss Linda Holder and Miss Stafford all taught in the school last term and did good work, and it was a wise step the school board made in se¬ lecting them for this term. Miss Alice Martin, of Hopewell, is the only new teacher, and it is said that she is a most excellent teach¬ er as well as a young lady of cult¬ ure and refinement. Conyers can boast of as good schools as can be found anywhere in the state, outside of college cities. THE END IS NOT EAR OFF. So says a wiseacre from the Green mountains of Vermont,who says his name is R. W. Rodgers and styles himself “The Noah of To-day.” He says he is sent of God to forewarn the people of the coming end of the world, which he claims will be one year from next October. The first warning of the end of time, he says, will be in October and one year fro/ii that time the chosen few will be gathered at Jerusalem, numbering one hundred and forty and four thousand. Rodgers says all this was told him in a vision in 1893, and he is now exhorting the peo¬ ple of Kansas to give up their churches and believe as lie does and be saved, teaching them that the end will be gradual and all will know it and have time to re pent. If Rodgers should hit Georgia, it would take but a short time to have him translated to a “Jerusalem” at Milledgeville. THAT “COURT HOUSE RING.” COMMUNICATED. “Oh, that hateful court house ring! I do despise to go by there. They say those hateful loafers just make hateful remarks about eyery woman or girl that passes there. I am afraid to pass there—I wish there wasn’t a chair in Conyers that that nasty crowd of loafers could get.” Such was a part of a conversa¬ tion I heard a short time ago. How such an idea ever got started I can’t imagine. That such men as compose the county officials, the legal fraternity, independent merchants and citizens, with some of our best preachers, who are the fathers, husbands, sons and broth ers 0 f our beloved women, would do such a thing, or permit it done, is contemptible to insinuate. Such report could, . . , have only , a originated & in the base, low, polit- x ical trickster or over fanatical fool, who wants to control things and can’t boss this crowd. Please let me say once for all, that the “court house ring” has our women and girls in high re spect, and treats them with great¬ er courtesy than the crouds that mass in front of our churches every Sabbath day. Our women need have no fear in passing the court house. There may be places in Conyers more disreputable. More Anon. Items From Union. Cotton is opening very fast. We are glad to know that the sick are improving. May they all soon be out again. Miss May Powell is visiting rel¬ atives in Atlanta this week. School closed at Union Friday. There was a singing at Flat Shoals Sunday morning. Mrs. Phoebe Powell, of Atlanta, is visiting relatives in this com¬ munity. Messsrs. C. W. Powell and Arden Parker attended the sing¬ ing school at Salem, DeKalb coun¬ ty last week. Mrs. Sallie McPeek joined the church and was baptized at Flat Shoals Sunday. Miss Sophia Nix visited the family of Dr. J. F. Albert recent iy. Whooping cough has been on a boom in this community. Mrs. Emma McKmght, of Con¬ yers, stayed with her sick sister, Mrs. Mosley of Henry county last week. Messrs. Albert and Crumbly, of Atlanta, visited Dr. Albert recent iy. Mr. Will McLeroy and Miss Ally Miller was united in the holy bonds of wedlock Sunday. May there lives be prosperous. Mr. B. F. Rowan, of Oak Hill, was in this community Sunday. MAY BE A LYNCHING. A special from Atlanta to the Macon Telegraph Tuesday, says: Walter Brooks, a Newton coun¬ ty negro, was arrested here last night, charged with assault on a young colored girl The crime was committed last week in New¬ ton and the fellow afterwards es¬ caped to this city. It is quite probable that Brooks may be lynched as the negroes of his neighborhood are greatly incen¬ sed against him.“ TO FARMERS.
