THE CONYERS WEEKLY
CONYERS, GA,, APRIL 20, 1883,
NOTICE.
From this da,e ad Ordinary’s ad¬
vertisements will be inserted iu the
CoNYEits W kekly a public gazette
published in Rockdale County, Ga.,
and this is to give notice that this pa¬
per is now my legal advertising medi
urn. O. SEAMANS,
April, 1883, Ordinary.
McD uielJ w ill make the best Ex¬
ecutive since Oglethorpe.
Two B or not to B was the question
with the late convention.
It there ,s anything we do like it is
conference committee, Mr. Mac.
It is now thought that Col Eye Uu
Avery will have to step down and
out.
Whenever we see Scab Reese we
think what a pity that he defeated
Black.
Mr. Boynton is still president of
the senate. Mr. Bacon—oh 1 where
is he I
The famous Griffin wire-workers,
like the Kirkwood Democracy, will
now take a rear seat.
We Arcadians now have every! hing
our own way aud we are going to
hold the fort. Arnt we, Brother
Moore.
Thornton says Lamar is outside of
the code. We guess this is the only
way the Col. could find to back out
of a fight.
The Constitution should hereaftei
drop the table feature. Tables with
really nothing in them are going out
*of fasbioD anyhow
Both Bacon and Boynton claimed
last week that it they were not nomi¬
nated they were ruined politically.
They were not nominated.
Larry Gantt now has the honor of
being the best miscellaneous newspa¬
per writer on the Georgia press. Its
an honor he lully deserves.
No one but McDaniell is entitled
to the credit of bis being nominated.
When he withdrew his name from
the committee he did the work.
Old Bullock worked for Boynton
with all ot his power, but all to no
good. The people of Georgia have
had quite enough of Bullock's gang.
It is the duty ol every democrat to
come to the polls and vote for Mos
Daniell on the 24th inst. Let us, at
all times, keep our forces squarely to
the front.
_ . ,♦ <. -
Heretofore wo have considered the
Eeditor of the Griffin Sun a pretty
solid boy. We have been m stakeu
or he has some way of slipping the
beer in his pockets.
Commissioner Henderson says he
has exhausted this season's supply of
German Carp. He should now pro
ceed to exhaust the dirty fraud
over which he presides.
The Georgia I’ress Association and
an ice factory will both open business
in Athens on the 10th ot May. The
Press Association will soon swallow
up the ice business.
The Solid South claims that Boyn¬
ton was ahead in the convention.
Col. Maddox knows the facts, we
surprised at his statement. The
and test ballet showed Boyntyn
and a fraction and Bacon 145 and
fraction. Truth is mighty and should
prevail whether it does or not.
Bakin and Byntin dun got lef,
Taint gwine rain no mo;
Dey is lade er way on der shef,
Taint gwine rain no mo;
Brer Mac he rid der darksum boss,
Taint gwine rain no mo ;
An’ cleand der nag ob Joe. de boss,
Look fur er long dry spell.
We have a little two year old at
our house that is a great Iriend to the
Atlanta Constitution. When asked
whieh is the best and which her fa¬
vorite, she invariably says the “ Con
stooeun.,” She is right It is the
best newspaper—the only drawback
being its gubernatorial tables.
The women of Atlanta are making
an effort to organize a Womens Tem
perance Union. We hope the move¬
ment will meet with success. Druuk
ness is becoming entirely too frequent
among Atlanta women. We can 1 m
agine nothing more ludicrouz than an
Atlanta woman coming in late at
night and attempting to unlock the
back door with a cork-screw.
By the defeat of Bacon and Boyn¬
ton two bad elements in Georgia pol¬
itics have received a dark optic. Ba
con the acknowledged leader of the
court house politicians, and Boynton
the reprentative ot bossistn. This is
a case that will compare well with
the one where two thieves got to
fighting and an honest man slipped
up and stole the booty.
1 MISSIONARY SOCIETY,
The Woman’s Missionary Society
met at Mrs. J. L. Stewart’s. Devos
ttonal exercises conducted by Mrs. E

and Miss Hope Turasher w ere en¬
rolled as members of the Society.
Mrs. Roberts, chairman of publicas
tion committee, read a report, w hich
was adopted unanimously, as follows:
We the committee appointed to in-,
vesttgate the matter of publishing the
minutes of the Womans Auxiliary
Missionary Society lor the past 12
months, have consulted ditf rent prin¬
ters and have had a proposition from
Messrs. Hale & White, of the Con
yeks Weekly, to publish them grat¬
is as they come out in the futu e. We
think it advisable, therefore, to aban
don the idea of publshing past min¬
utes. and accept the kind proposition
of these gentlemen to give them a
monthly space in their paper. It is
therefore agreed by this society that
me proceedings of our meetings be
published regularly as they occur in
the Convjsbs Weekly, tendering its
editors our sincere thanks and high
appreciation ot the favor accorded.

A LETTER FROM CHINA,
Musses. Editors I send for publica¬
tion, should it meet your approval, a
letter from Mrs. Mantle Anderson, wife
of our Missionary to China; hoping its
tender, touching appeals will arouse our
woman to renewed diligence in the Mas¬
ter’s cause, and its thrilling truths be
treasured on memory’s marble tablet,
and transmitted in golden characters on
every woman’s heart I Mr. and MrB.
Anderson are life members of the W. M.
8. of this place, and while they have fol¬
lowed ths holy dictates of duly and have
lefi all that were “near and dear” to go
and tell the melting story of our Saviour's
sufferings, and the history of the redemp
tion of man, to tliose who have never
heard the ‘ glad t idings,’ we who have all
our lives enjoyed this priceless blessing
should esteem it. a great privilege to be
permitted to work as eo-laborers with
them in building God's house in China.
Mbs. M. I. Porry.
Nantziang, Feb. 24. I883.
My Dear Mrs. Pbrry :— I know you
all musi think I’ve been strangly silent,
but I could hardly write before. To
dear Aunv Julia, I wrote of our safe ar
rival, h«t about Hie wo.k I was n.t pre
pared to write, and even now it is hard
to say what I would. If only my P en
could do justice to the subject, but alas 1
it is almost a hopeless task. When I see
China a id her need, words seem so small,
so useless 1 I look back to our society
meetings as mere children’s play. We
talk at home of the millions of souls to
be saved here, but oh! we do not realize
what the numbers mean—that so many
so els are hourly going out into darkness.
If you could only see as I do, this coun¬
try and its people, bowing down to wood
and stone, the work of their own bands
—no rest, no day of rest! Every Sunday
we pass on our way to church the toiling
multitudes, and we long with a long¬
ing inexpressible for the power of the
gospel for them to rest upon. Surely
these people of all others, would appre¬
ciate Christ’s own loving words to tired
humanity—“ Come unto me all ye that
are weary and heavy laden and I will
give you rest.” They die as they live
without God and without hope in the
land beyond. 1 wish, for once. I could
say to each member of our Conyers So¬
ciety jrhat I know to be truth, that God
will call each to a strict account of what
they do to send the gospel to those who
sit in darkness and the shadow of death.
Our monthly dues (that so many of us
considered our whole duty) will in that
last day look small indeed when they
are brought into God’s clear light, and
Jesus stands and says to each, “I died,
I died for you, what hast thou done for
Me.” I think I should be willing to
come back then to our life work and
take up the work with a new heart—a
heart that fails me when I know we
Missionaries of to-day, like Moses of old,
shall only see the promise land afar off:
We cannot hope to enter in and possess
it- China wont be converted in our day,
we must sow but others will reap. Have
I said too much? I could hardly say
less on this subject, and oh! if I could
only make you feel, as a society, that |
our ignorance of missions“ God in times
past winued at,” but He now calls aloud
for repentance.
I love Conyers and Conyers people and
look back to my home among you all as
a memory pleasant to be recalled always.
1 know I’ve left warm and true friends,
but I would feel humbled indeed to
think any would try in remembrance of
me in my Chines* home, to do aught for
Christ. No, it is Christ s work, and must
be done for His sake and in His name
alone.
Our home is in Nanfzang, th home of
Rankins; and God has certainly blessed
you in your workers. Miss Lockie is a
noble woman and the world will never
know,what she has done, but God Knows,
and when I look at her—often tired but
never complaining—f think of how
Christ will say to her, “ Well done, thou
good and faithful servant, enter into the
joy of thy Lord.” She will have n any a
jewel in her crown that the world knows
or cares little for, but He who never
slumbers knows, and her reward will be
sweet. Dora, the younger sister, has
given what few of us gave—our lives with
the dew of youth upon it. She has a
boys school in the same compound and
gives a woman’s work and a woman’s
heart to God. Looking at it with world
ly eyes, it is a strange sight to see one so
young going on in duty’s path without a
thought of self; but Christ is worth it
all. We have a nice, comfortable home,
and with the Misses Rankin make up the
white people in Nantziang.
Mr. Andersong is getting on nicely in
Chinese, and hopes soon to be actively
at work. The outlook is bright but the
laborers are few. I wish you could all
see our boy; you would not know him
now, he is so tall and strong for his
nineteen months We are hoping a great
deal for him, if he lives to he a man, and
tiurt he will do God good servic •• Such
dear, kind faces crowd upon me as I to
to send love to our society—Ida Stewart,
Lula McCord, Mrs. Ethridge’, Mi's. Glea
ton, Mrs. R iberts, Mrs. Overbay, Mrs.
Johnson, Emma Clemm ms, Mollie Rich¬
ards, Mrs. Barton and dear Aunt Julia,
May God bless each. Mr. A. joins me in
much.lcve to all.
Affectionately your friend,
Mamie G. Anderson.
