The Middle Georgia Cad*t«i, ol Milledgeville were victorious in the prize drill in Macon last week. Mr. Beau Hudson, of Brunswick, has been spending several days in the city this week with his parents. The Georgia Dental Society will meet at Cumberland Island May 24, and will he in session four days, It is reported that the Gate City Guard have contracted to advertise the S. S S. on their European tour. Out-houses and yards should be kept free from filth to insure good health during the summer months. Some of our people speak of at¬ tending the grand drill in Wash¬ ington during the present month. Mr. TV. Id. Mitchell was commis¬ sioned Monday as a notary public for the 1151st district of this coun ty There will be a picnic at Clark’s factory on the first Saturday in June. Everybody is cordially in¬ vited. T. F. McNair, a citizen of Butts county, was foully murdered by some unknown party last Friday night. Miss Annie Davidson & Co. have the finest and best selected lot of fancy goods to be found this side Atlanta. Geo. Tilley and Chas. Hudson are two of the most handsome and fascinating young gentlemen in Conyers. The cotton and corn crops are looking exceedingly well. We hope to see an abundant crop reaped this year. Reports come in from the vari¬ ous parts of the county to the effect that the oat crop will be almost a failure this year. Dysentery is raging throughout the State. At this season of the year this is one of the most dan¬ gerous diseases. We are glad to know that our young friend, Charlie Cain, is pro¬ gressing nicely with his course in business college. The Gate City Guard will start soon for their trip to Europe, that is if Atwood’s friends don’t thrash out the company. We confidently believe that our next vice President will be from the South, and in the person Henry W. Grady of Atlanta. The various dinners, that most important part on picnic days, spread at Almon last Friday were the finest we ever saw on a picnic occasion. Misses Lula and Cora Wallis, two of Rutledge’s most attractive young ladies, are on a visit to rela¬ tives at this place. We wish them a pleasant stay. We would like to see Hon. N. J. Hammond, of Atlanta, appointed to fill the vacancy on the U. S. su¬ preme bench caused by the death of Justice Woods. The Governor has revoked out standing rewards offered prior to Jan. 1st. This is to simi>lify mat¬ ters. Upon proper showing the re¬ wards will be re-issued. B. D. Crossley is, we ai-e pleased to say, keeping a full and complete line of fancy groceries, something our town has needed for a long time. Let’s give him a share of our patronage. Air L. H. Patillo has sold the Wairenton Clipper to Messrs. J. L. Gross and Ward Nelson. Mr. Gross will be the editor and will be sure to give the paper a front place in Georgia journalism. Short hair and shorter mus¬ tache seems to be the rage among the young men of town. Chas. Hudson presents an exceedingly beautiful appearauce with his hair clipped and his mustache cut off. W, J. Kell, who lives near Leary, while cleaning his pipe, aceidentat ally stuck his knife into his leg, and he fainted from the effects of it. Dr. George was called in to see him and reports him in a critical condition, the nicotine from the pipe having entered his system. He is still unconscious, with but little hope for his recovery. The services a t the Methodist | church last Sunday were highly i interesting. Being children’s day i the services were especially ar¬ ranged for them. Several of the little ones recited and some of the older ones made short talks. The picnic at Almon last Friday was a decided success. It was at¬ tended by a very large crowd indeed. Covington,Litbonia,Oxford and At¬ lanta were well represented. Every¬ thing passed off happily and the picnic is conceeded to be the big¬ gest one of the season. Our citizens will no doubt be called upon at sometime during the present year to vote upon the question of public schools for this place. At the proper time we ex pect to set forth the many benefits that accrue to individuals and munities, from systematic, well ulated public schools. It affords us much pleasure to be able to state that our young friend Mr. Jno. L. Travis, who graduates this year at Emory Col¬ lege, has been awarded the second honor. John is among the youngest members of a very large class, and to receive this honor speaks very highly for him. Prof. Peter Slizkin, of Kussia, who spent a portion of last year on the farm of Col. W. L. Peek, and since then has been traveling over almost the entire South, was in the city yesterday. He leaves Georgia for Washington to-morrow. He will sail for Russia in a few weeks. His stay in America has he says been very pleasant and profitable to him. Last Sunday Air. II. P. Almand and family, together with grand children went to Litbonia, where they go once a year to attend preaching and to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of Air. Al¬ mond's first wife, who is buried at that place. This custom of setting apart and spending one day com¬ memorating the death of be¬ loved ones is a beautiful one and one we would like to see more gen¬ erally observed. A very sever hailstorm passed through Warren count}' Wednes¬ day afternoon. Three miles south of Warrenton at Taylor’s creek, hailstones as large as a hen egg fell and covered the ground to the depth of four inches. Pieces, which had been out in the rain all night, and as large as a partridge egg, were brought in town. At camack numbers of window lights were broken, Crops all over the county are badly damaged, and in some portions completely destroyed. The trip of the Courier man to Conyers was attended by a succes¬ sion of pleasantries rarely ever in¬ cident to a visit of so short dura-: tion. Accepting the courtesies of our friends and Bro. Guinn of the Conyers Weekly, we were at the union picnic of the public schools which was largely attended at a natural situation on Yellow river near Conyers. The little urchins reveled in frolicsome glee, while while many a devoted couple sought the reclusive recesses so in¬ viting to lovers. The beauty and and chivalry of Conyers teemed on this vacation day, and certainly the charms of the ladies of Con¬ yers were the admitted cause of the day’s success. They are handsome, sweet and charming, and after a brief stay of unbroken pleasure we left the little city with its granite bed rock as solid in substantial re¬ alities as it is fanciful in its beau¬ ties. It is a town of about 1,500 inhabitants, several business es¬ tablishments and a number of ele¬ gant residences and two live news¬ papers, while her people are of the old-time hispitality, and a beam of welcome always greets the visitor and sojourner in the town. We left the place with a regret that the stern decision of necessity curtailed a stay of no ordinary pleasure, while lingering memories link us to the hope that the visit will be re reated in the near future.—Ellijay Courier. As we go to press the indications are very good for rain. We hope that before another issue of the AVeekly the oountry maybe bless .ed with a good season. The death of Mrs Lula Crignil liat, which sad event occurred at Easlev S. G. on Thursday last, cast a de'»p gloom over the hearts oi her hosts of friends in this palace. { She about 30 years of age, a i was consistent member of the Baptist church, a dutiful daughter, a devo¬ ted wife and a model of lovely wo¬ manhood. Her funeral took place from the First Baptist church at this place last Saturday, conducted by Rev. J. M. Brittain. Her re¬ mains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of grief stricken friends and rela¬ tives. To the bereaved husband and family we extend our tender est and most sincere sympathies. Ike Ta F lor haa been busily honi ng razms all the week.
