The string band will soon be able to furnish our citizens with some first class music. Our peo¬ ple will fall far short of their du¬ ty, if they fail to give the boys pro¬ per encouragement.

LEGAL WARNING. All persons are hereby notified not to hire or harbor my son John Ship, p. o. c., a minor. Shelton Ship. Conyers, Ga., Feb. 25, 1887. DR. W. H, LEE, DRUGGIST, Corner Center & R. R. Street, Makes a specialty of the follow¬ ing goods, a full and complete stock always on hand: Garden seed, glass and putty, violins, vio¬ lin cases, bows and strings, station¬ ery, school books, lamps etc. One of the most enjoyable social gatherings of the season was a sup¬ per and valentine drawing at the ■residence of Dr. John F. Albert 011 the 14th inst. in honor of Miss Lu¬ la Robinson of Norcross. Miss Lula has won many admirers du¬ ring her stay in this vicinity, and captured many of our young gal¬ lants hearts. t Joseph W. Graham was killed at Paxson’s saw mills, near McRea Sat¬ urday. He was running the shingle machine at the mill at the timeof the accident, and by some means his foot and leg was caught in the cog wheels of the machinery, horribly crushing his leg nearly up to the knee. Drs. Swinney and Blanton and Hunter amputated the limb, but the shock was too great, result¬ ing m death at 12 ‘.80 o clock Sat¬ urday night. Mr. Graham was formerly of this county, where his father and mother and most of his relatives reside. He had been with W. O. Paxson in the saw mill bus¬ iness nearly five years, and was a faithful and efficient employee, and has made many friends since he has been in the county. He a wife and five small children. Mr. W. C. Hudson, of Atlanta, is in the city this week. Miss Nannie Graham is visiting in the city. Lewis Ilenslee is a splendid bass violinist.

E. Bostick, of Atlanta, is in the city. There was quite an enjoyable party at the Butler House last Wednesday night after the oyster supper. The handsome Solicitor General of this circuit devours oysters with the same avidity that he recites Ruby’s piano playing. - Frank Smith in the role of Judy is a decided success. Frank can destroy as many punches as any girl. A second hand clothing store was opened up in the Bryans build¬ ing this week. The late rains have put the new¬ ly worked roads in tho county jp a wretched condition. While the ground is soft we think a little work on our city streets would not be out of place. The Covington Star dropped in¬ to the right channel when in its last issue it voiced the following sentiment: “Good schools will pay Covington better than new rail¬ roads. New railroads may cut off trade and carry off country patron¬ age. Flourishing schools will fill all unoccupied houses with good patrons and useful citizens.” ----< re ♦ -- Court Proceedings Rockdale Superior Court is in session this week. His Honor, Judge Boynton, with his usual grace and dignity is presiding. So¬ licitor Wommack is working round making criminals “go slow.” Judge Boynton’s charge to the grand jury was good, and was ren¬ dered in a clear and forcible style. A good deal of business has been disposed of. Among the cases tried and settled are the following : Geo. W. Knox, Adm’r, and E. M. Biand, transferee, vs, Geo. W. Gleaton, deft. Verdict for def't. E.

The Covington Star of this week publishes a full list of the “Newton Independent Horse,” a company which left that place in May, 1847 under the command of Capt. Jno. Loyal. The company was mustered into service at Columbus, Ga., and left there on the 20th of luly for the Mexican frontier. The compa¬ ny did gallant service in Mexico. Some of its officers were the captors of Gen. LaVaga and Prince Itetr bide. There are several of this company still living in Cov ingtoD, and all will be entitled to a pension under the bill recently passed by congress. Almand has Jer Mr. J. F. o\d some sey pigs six weeks that will weigh 26 pounds each. T3ie Entertainments Notwithstanding the heavy rain and disagreeable weather, there was a large crowd at the Masonic Hall Wednesday night to partake of the supper prepared by the la¬ dies of the First Baptist church. The tables profusely decorated with flowers fruits and other deli¬ cacies were placed on the west side of the building, each table presided overby one, or more, beautiful and fascinating young ladies. Indeed, so much so, that a person never thought about expense, but only howto manage to keep eating so as to enjoy their kind attention and excellent company as long as possible. The supper which consisted of oysters, fresh fish, fowl, chicken salad, cakes of all kinds, ambrosia, fruits and etc, was tastily and ex¬ quisitely prepared, and was served with that grace and ease which is possessed only by Conyers young ladies. By way of parenthesis we remark that there was more mate¬ rial for good wives in that hall than we have seen bunched togeth¬ er in sometime. Music was furnished by part of the Conyers string band, which added much to the pleasure of the occasion. After a song, Col. Wommack who was present and had, on ac¬ count of his lovely personal ap¬ pearance, made such a profound impression on the ladies present, was loudly called for, responding he told one of his rich anecdotes, and regaled those present with the best recitation of “How Ruby play¬ ed” ever heard in Conyers, The gross receipts were about $75,00. The affair was well managed and the crowd was orderly and well be¬ haved. Besides being all in all a grand success, the occasion was one of social enjoyment for all. SMYRNA DOINGS.
