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 Roberts. Members pres nt, 12. Min¬ utes read and approved. The corns mittee appointed lastjineeting to pro¬ vide literature being absent, the pres¬ ident read a soul-sliting letter from Mrs. D L. Anderson, who, a short time ago left for China. The names of Mrs. W. H. McCord 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.

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.
