small boys who manipulate them
should remember that there is a
city ordinance prohibiting their
use. They are a very dangerous
weapon.
General Finley, the United
States' Senator from Florida, is
seventy years old and the hero of
three wars. He is very pious, very
popular and a powerful stump
speaker. Tie is the originator of

We are indeed sorry to know
that Col. M. D. Irwin, of the Solid
South, has been confined to his
room a few days this week with
sickness. We sincerely trust that
our brother may be up and able to
resume his work very soon.
We are requested by the church
going People, and especially the la¬
dies, of Lower Mill street and vi¬
cinity, to ask the city council to
have the side walk on Glade street
put in order. It is in a wretched
condition, and is actually danger¬
ous for a person passing that way
at night.
Mr. J. R. McCord, on last Mon¬
day employed some hands to pull
down an old stable and buggy
house for IT. Y. McCord, to give
place for new ones, and during the
day captured and killed eighty
eight. rats and two mice, quite a
large number ol the rats were full
grown.
President Cleveland is warned by
one of Washington’s most eminent
physicians that unless he takes
more physical exercise there is
danger that he will not live out his
term. The amount of the presi¬
dents brain work is enormous while
his bodily exercise amounts to al¬
most nothing.
We are reliably informed that
the managers of the Georgia Rail¬
road have decided to build another
track from Decatur to Atlanta, and
run trains between these points
every hour in the day. The old
reliable Georgia, the non-accident
railroad of the South is ever alive
to the accommodation and conven¬
ience of its patrons. .

are too busy re-modeling and ren¬

a rush getting ready for a grand
opening on Saturday. We are re¬
quested however to state that not¬
withstanding the- repairing going
on you can get all the goods you
want at low rates.
Cbus. Hudson, whose personal
appearance characterizes him as a
“crusher,” will be pleased to wait
upon his friends at any and all
ti terns.
Covington is boasting over one of
her merchants having made two
thousand dollars by the rise in cot¬
ton. Pshaw ! that’s nothing. There
is a Conyers merchant who right
now would refuse five thousand
dollars for his profits, and he still
holds on.
Hudson still retains his reputa¬
tion for selling the best shoes in
the market.
There will be a protracted meet¬
ing started at the First Baptist
church on Wednesday before the
second Sunday in April. Among
the visiting ministers who will be
present are the Revs. Hawthorne,
McDonald. Norcross and Straton.
We predict and hope for a big re¬
vival.

PROCEEDINGS OF MONROE’S
MFFTING,
“The railroad boom having bust¬
our citizens have commenced
knuckling down to solid work and
to figure rightly on the getting of
the Georgia Carolina tfc Northern.
monroe’s meeting
The citizens of Monroe met at the
court-house, and upon motion Mr. C G.
Nowell was made chairman. A. J. Ar
nold was elected secretary. By reque-t
Gapt, Napier stated the object of the
meeeting—the building of a railroad from
Athens to Atlanta via. Monroe.
The following resolutions were otiered
by T H. Felker:
Be it resolved by tbe citizens of Mon¬
roe in mass meeting assembled.
I. That the citizens are united in their
desire to secure the Georgia Carolina and
Northern Railroad, and will give ; t their
support in every respect.
II. That the road running via Monroe
besides adding greatly to our county, will
build up ibis place, which will furnish
the road more freight and passengers
than any other place between Athens
and Atlanta.
III. That it is to the interest of the cit¬
izens oi this place to work to-gether for
the said R. R.. and we hereby appoint a
meeting for io o’clock, first Tuesday in
April next, which is to select a county
delegation to the mee’ing in Athens to
be held first Thursday in April next
IV Be it further resolved That everv
citizen of tbelcoiinty is requested to at
tend the meeting here on the first Tues¬
day in April.
The above resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted by the meeeting, and commit¬
tees to receive, entertain and care for the
surveyors; to show the surveyors the
route through the county; and to solicit
subscriptions were appointed.
many expressions of encouragement the
meeting .adjourned enthusiastically.
Evidently from the minutes,
Monroe’s people are working to¬
gether with the determination to get
the road. It v c mains, therefore,
tor us to hole! a meeting and co-op¬
erate with them, send a delegation
to Athens, and offer the induce¬
ments to get the yoiid anyway, To
do this we must wake up and goto
work at once with a vim. If we
lie idleinstead of going forward we
will retrograde. To sit down and
fold our arms means that we will
never get a railroad or anything
else that is worth having. Oppor¬
tunities like the one we now have
offered us del not come often, hence
if we would perform our parts seize as
wide awake citizens we must
upon them with avidity and puli
together with an eye single to the
good of Conyers and Rockdale.
The securing of the road depends
upon immediate action. We have
done all we can do. If we fail to
get this great prize, offered to our
county, the blame will be on other
shoulders than ours. When shall
we have our mass-meeting?
