The district meeting to he held here will commence next Wed¬ nesday and continue through Sun¬ day. Bishop Key will be present. The legislature will meet in about three weeks.

Frost is reported from Marietta, on Saturday night, June 11, 1S87. This is remarkably late for frost in this section,though there was enough to do any damage. Invitations are constantly crowd¬ ing upon Governor Gordon, and it it is safe to say Georgia has never had a governor personally more popular with the people and the countr v ‘ If he WBre to ftCCe ? t a11 - the mvltatlons he receives he woul d $ b cnd little time in Atlanta, Farmers are nearly done laying by upland corn.

Quigg will fill his regular appointment at the Presbyterian church next Sunday. Part of the streets of town were wed sprinkled last Friday.

Mr. Grier Quigg, who has been unwell for the past few months, is now taking ticatment from an em¬ inent physician in Atlanta.

Means should be devised by which to cut them away as early as possible. We learn that Sheffield got quite a nice shower Sunday afternoon. A little of that article would hard¬ ly be objectionable in this vicinity. Last Wednesday in Sheffield dis¬ trict at the residence of the bride’s father, Miss Sue A. McCalla was married to Mr. J. R. Perry, ot Covington. Rev M. IT. Eakes per¬ formed the ceremony in an impres¬ sive manner in the presence of a large number of the relatives and friends of the contracting parties. Miss Sue, is the youngest daughter of Air. and Airs . J. R. AIcCalla, anil is a universal favorite wherever she is known. Air. Perry is one of Covington’s most progressive and enterprising young men. Alany ex¬ quisite and costly bridal presents were given the happy couple. They will make Covington their future home. The young couple have the best wishes and sincere congratu¬ lations of the Weekly, During the revival in the Meth¬ odist church at Alapaha an old and very practical member was called on to pray. That morning he saw several of his neighbors, armed with fishing poles, pass his place on their way to the river. This furnished him a theme and he pray¬ ed about as follows: “Oh. Lord, I saw several of my friends this morning going down into the Lophaw swamp fishing in sterd of coming to church. Good Lord, send hornets and wasps and yellow-jackets and horse-flies and yellow-flies and red-bugs, and make them sting them and bite them till they arc forced to flee from the swamp and seek shelter in the church.” THE WEEKLY PRESS. The question of a Weekly Press Convention having been suggested by the Solid South some two months ago, has been very thought¬ fully discussed, and with possibly a few dissenters, the demand is gen¬ eral for such a cenvention. It is insisted that I call this con veiation and name the place and time. To name the place I am un¬ willing to do. However, the con¬ vention is hereby called to meet on the 5th of August in Conyers or Milledgeville, whichever may be se¬ lected. Every Paper that intends to be represented in the Association will notify the undersigned, and state which place it prefers to meet. Let all send in their acceptance by the 20th of July, If the majority are for Milledgeville then the conven¬ tion will meet in that city, other¬ wise in Conyers. Some of the objects of the meet¬ ing will be to establish uniform rates for foreign advertisements based upon circulation; to estab¬ lish a bureau of information to protect the Weekly press against fraudulent advertisers and adver¬ tising agents; to demad cash con¬ tracts of all agencies and otherwise free the Weekly press of the many impositions put upon it Daily and Weekly papers please copy.
