There are only two liquor dealers in Rockdale county, and each mamifactur ' e6 his own spirits. The pistol which ‘-wasn’t loaded” is getting iu its deadly work. Robert Smith, the young man who was accidentally shot through the head, near Logaasvilte, last week, cannot possibly live Miss Sue McCalla, one of Sheffield’s loveliest daughters, is spending the week with friends in our city.

The public is cordially invi¬ ted to be present. A little son of Mr. Lish Maddox has the measele. There are many cases in the county. The umbrella mender ha3 been in the city this week. Afr. J. S. McLean, of Gainsville, was down shaking hands with his Conyers fends, this week. The tragedy at Covington Saturday night should be a warning to all young Eton to keep from the outside of whisky and the inside of houses ot ill fame Another young man attempted suicide in this county, last week. All on ac¬ count of a lie, sir. “When a man lies,” remarks an ex shange, “the devil laughs.” Well, if the old fellow has been listening attentively to the Conyers fishermen this season he must be “tickled” almost to death by this time. It is rumored that acting-Governor Itoynton is soon to wed one of Walton’s most charming and estimable ladies. The girls now hie to the woods to gather the fragrant sweet shrub and de¬ lightful honey suckle, and spend the following day in an industrious endeav to rid themselves of the pestiferous dagger. The Conyers Examiner has suspended itotil fall. Mr. Harp, the editor, will 20 to Atlanta to accept a situation in the iob office of Harrison & Co.

The legislature meets on the 9th of May to count the votes and declare Mc¬ Daniel Governor. A party of Conyersites will go to In¬ dian Fishery next week on a fishing ex pedition. Many jugs are shipped from Conyeis to Lithonia. The latter place is a pro¬ hibition town. The Presbyterian Sabbath school will pie-nic at Stone mountain the first Sat¬ urday in May. Fare for the round trip 60 cents; children half fare. Remember that next Tuesday is elec f ion day. Come out and cast a vote for that noble statesman, Henry D. McDan iel. A military company is spoken of by the citizens of Conyers. We trust the enterprise will be successful. A Monticello doctor died from the ef fects of a mad-dog bite, last week. A Rockdale negro gave a mortgage on his mu e and wagon, the other day, so he could give four dollars for a single barrel shot gun. How such a fool negro ever got possession of a mule aud wagon is what bothers us. Mr. Rufus Cruse, formerly off the Cruse House, Cov'ngton, will proDablv take charge of the Whitehead House at this place- Mr. Cruse is an excellent, hotel man. We want some one to write a com¬ munication setting forth the real un adulterated value of the Agricultural Bureau. We have got it down in our list among the numerous frauds that the fanners ot this state are bur¬ dened with. It is strange, but nevertheless true, that every politician in Rockdale county feels sore over the nomination of Mc¬ Daniel, and some of them go so far as to say they wili support any one who will antagonize Ifm. McDaniel has long been a thorn in the side of the Rockdale demagogue. The Butts County Argus says that a young woman of that comity has just been adjudged a lunatic and sent to the asylum, leaving a young husband with¬ out any visable means of support. It was very wrong in the courts to adjudge that woman a lunatic before she had provided a support for that “young hus“ band.” Misses Barn tt and Butler, two of Madison loveliest and most accomplished young ladles, honored Conyers with their presence Friday, last. Dr. Seamans, of this place, is one of the most popuiar as well as skillful dentists in the state. His practice extends aU oyer middle Georgia. People as a general thing, are so apt to deviate a iittle from the truth in report¬ ing the result of their fishing excursions, that we think it prudent not to say any¬ thing tt all about our recent “lock” at Peachstone Shoals. But if you desire to know more about it, call on Capt. Tom Broadnax and be will give you the “facts.” A Hall county man sent the following order to a Gainsville merchant; “Please send me two pounds of shu gor, a blackin bresh, five pounds of Cof¬ fey and some little nails. My wife had a baby last nite two padlocks and a munkey rench.” Mr. Arthur Sharp, at the Livery Sta¬ ble, has a few good second hand buggies for sale. Call early if you want a bar¬ gain. An agent was in town this week selling medicated cups. Go out to hear the lecture of Prof. Cohahn, at Almand’s Hall, to-night. Mr. J. S. Daniell has just received one of the finest engines and separators ever shipped to this place. They were manu¬ factured by Russell & Co., Massillon, O. They are superior in workmanship and finish to anything we have ever seen, and will be operated by Messrs. McDon¬ ald, Williams & Shiply. Mr. Daniell has also received a car load of the Perry Royce Reaper, which are peculiarly adapted to rough and hilly ground. Angie Ruff the colored woman who has been confined in our jail for several weeks past, has been released on bond. When you want a stove, a hoe, trace chains, or anything in the hardware line you can buy it from Toombs Almand cheaper than anybody. We learn that a young Mr. Stansell, of Newton county, lost his pocket book be¬ tween this place and his home on last Saturdry, which contained some money and valuable papers. It is said that a Conyers young lady lived all of last week on the memory of a parting kiss. Not so. We saw the same girl last Friday evening standing behind a rose bush in the garden devour ing four onions, a pone of com bread ev¬ ery 15 seconds. Talk about the memory of a parting kiss, but it takes onions and green apples to mase a girl happy. Bargains at G. W. Weaver & Bro’s for the next ten or fifteen days, in conse" quenee of having to move. Elegant new lawn, prints, hats and ati other goods at J. H. & N. M. Almaads cheap for cash and on time. During the late war Hon- Henry D. McDaniel had charge of an estate, the property of which vested in orphan and minor children. A portion of the prop¬ erty he sold aud invested the proceeds in Confederate bonds. After the close of the war, when the bonds were value less, soon as be earned the amount he so sound redeemed every dollar with cur rency- The people of Georgia should be proud of so faithful and honest a son as their executive officer. I have for rent two good dwellings one three rooms with two good fire pla and one with four rooms, kitchen &c cea and Both well located. Fine water, fruit gardens. Call at this office if you want a good dwelling cheap. I- Haia Much local matter is crowded out of this issue. We will do better next week The masquerade party at the Whitt head House Tuesday night. May the 1st, pr om ises to be a grand affair. Covington, At lanta, Stone Mountain, Madison, Jackson, McDonough and Lawrenceville will be represented. The boys captured a rabbit on one of our most public thoroughfares, yesterday. Married In Oxford, Ala., on the 27th ult., by Rev. Mr. Kira, Mr. P. P. Heifner and Miss Sallie C. Greer, Tne groom is one of Oxford s most popular anl deserving young men, in every way worthy the fair flower which he has won. The bride is the youngest daugh ter of Mr - L. F. Greer, of Forsyth, and is too well known in that place, Barnesville and Conyers to speak of her many lovely traits of character. The happy pair left immediately for Ocala, Fla., where Mr. Heifner has gone to look after the inter¬ est of his orange grove, After spend ing several weeks in the 'and of flowers they will return to Oxford We wish them a long, happy and useful life. D. M. S. AN EARLY MARRIAGE An early marriage m ay be looked for in thes parts—all on account of me Li¬ za. Tom’s girl is very offectionate, and loves him with a ten horse E.-lips pow er, and as Tom is, himself, pretty badlv stuck on things affectionate, he allows nor to wallow in Ins lap a good deal, twisting his mustach and eating parched goobers and striped candy out of his pockets, of course these proceeding have beeu kept secret from the old folks, but the bad little boy, (every banquet has its ghost) found out how thiugs were going and on last Friday n ; ght procured a rope, made a runnin; noose, and just as Tom aud she was locked in a fond eti trance slipped up behind, dropped the rope over and bound them hard and fast. A yell or two brought in the pa¬ ternal part of the household and matters reached a cry—sis. Everytning has been arranged now. No explanation was re - quired—theltableau explained itself. Tom says he is going to be married to the nicest little girl in the land, but don t mention that it is at the earnest solicita¬ tion of a double barrel shot gun in the hands of a six foot father. We wish them happiness COUNTY COURT. It is our humble opinion that the worst day s work Rockdale county eve did was the abolishing of her County Court. With a good man for the judge ship (and we have a number of them) it will save to the tax payers of this county from i to 2 thousand dollars every year. It costs from $125 to $150 every day to run our Superior Court and at least three days are ta 'en up every session with cases that could be settled by a County Court. Our jail often has a number of prisoners in it at a heavy boarding ex¬ pense to our people which, if we had a County Court, could be JLposed of and the expense averted- Let’s have a Coun¬ ty Court with a salaried judge and we will save hundreds of dollars to our peo¬ ple.
