NEW ENTERPRISES NEEDED TO EMPLOY OUR IDLE LABOR, * ■ THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE OUR BUSINESS MEN OF OF EVERY KINO SHOULD COME TO¬ GETHER AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. There is more idle labor, white and black, in Conyers and Rockdale county, than was ever before known and unless something is done not only the idle ones but every store, office, shop, and every other business, commercial and professional, will snft'er, for it is an undeniable fact that where labor is idle com¬ merce dies. There should be called a mass meeting of our citizens and some steps taken to re lieve the distressed of things. Get An Organ For $1 A week by joining a club.

It is ^ rom Mie results of the pro¬ ducer and the workman who manufactures and refines, that not only our wealth but our very existence comes, and when they have nothing to do we, with them, will suffer, Keep otheis and help your- THE CASE OF MR. ALMANO. Mr. 8. Lafayette Almand, who skipped to California some weeks ago. without telling his friends good bye, was arrested at Tulare, and brought to Atlanta and in¬ dicted by the Fulton grand jury for larceny after trust, succeeded on Thursday in having the indict¬ ment quashed ou account of a de¬ fect in the bill. He was held for further investi¬ gation, but gave bond in the sum of $5,000. Two warrants were sworn out against him here. Sheriff Anderson went to Atlan¬ ta Friday to get him, but he suc¬ ceeded again in giving bond, in the sum of $1,500 in each ca-e, and was set at liberty. As the Fulton Superior court has adjourned for the term, and New¬ ton Superior court does not con¬ vene until Marcn, we suppose he will not be tried yet for some time. Whether he will be able to settle the cases against him before the courts meet, wo do not know, but have no doubt that efforts will be made to do so. Mr. Almand was arraigned on yesterday before Judge John P. Harris, for a preliminary investi¬ gation of the two cases here, and one of them, that of Porterdale Mills, was dismissed. In the other, that of Thompson & Farmer, a full investigation of the case was had, and Mr. Almand was held for further investigation, the bond for his appearance being reduced from $1,500 to $160. The warrant in the other case having been dismissed, of course the bond in that case is void. This leaves only the $5,000 bond in Atlanta, and the $150 bond here, all he is now under. DR. CALLAWAY LAID TO REST. The remains of Dr. Morgan Cal¬ laway were carried to Washington, on Tuesday morning, for inter¬ ment. The funeral services were held at the church, in Oxford, on Mon¬ day afternoon, and were con¬ ducted by Bishop Candler. Dr. Candler paid a high and worthy tribute to the memory of hi* deceased friend. Ho divided his remarks upon the life and character of Dr. Calla¬ way into four parts—the man, the soldier, the Christian, and teacher —to each of wihch parts he pAid a glowing tribute to his great- worth and nobility of manhood. ' Dr. Callaway was greatly be¬ loved by all who knew him, and came in contact with him. There was a large number of friends and citizens accompanied the remains to Washington, and assisted in paying the last sad rites to (lie distinguished deceased. Dr. Dowman and Profs. Dickey, Bonnell, Bradley and Peed, of the college faculty; Messrs. Dempsey and Trawick, of the senior class; and Mr. Parks, of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, of which Dr. Callaway was an honorary mem¬ ber, all accompanied the remains to Washington. Mr. R. H. Thompson, the un¬ dertaker, had charge as funeral director. Dr. Callaway formerly lived in Washington, and was well known by the people of that section. He had been married twice, and was laid to rest by the side of both his wives, who had gone before him. THE "LOST CAUSE."
