THE WEEKLY. R, J. GUINN, ■EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR $1,25 PER ANNUM. Entered at the Conyers Port Cilice as second class mall matter. Advertising rates made Known on Demand, Job Work Neatly and Promptly Executed. Congress will meet in December and the chances are that it will re¬ main in session until August. Mr. Bud Veal, who was tried last week for the murder of C. 1). Horn, in Atlanta, was found not guilty. In our judgment Veal should have been set free without any trial. The cotton crop of Wilkes coun¬ ty brings in nearly a million dol hirs. This gives an average of about sixty dollars to every man, woman and child, white and black, in the county. The election held Saturday last in Covington to determine the question of public schools resulted in a defeat for the system, The vote was 95 for school and 90 against. A two-thirds majority was required to adopt the system. Col. Boh Ingersoll, who is always saying something bright, remarked a day or two ago that Mr. Cleve¬ land’s “luck made him President and his love made him popular.” With both luck and love on his side he can hardly fail to get there again. Secretary Lamar is said to have assurances that upon which lie re¬ lies that, should his name be sent to the senate to fill the vacant place on the Supremo Court bench, the nomination would he promptly confirmed, without reference to a committee. There wore 14.000 more prohibi¬ tion votes cast in New York at the November election this year than there were at the last presidential election. The prohibition vote in that state is certain to increase. The chance that the republicans will carry New York next year is not one in a thousand. Before another issue cf the Weekly the great prohibition con¬ test in Atlanta will have ended, so far as the vote is concerned. Next Saturday will toll the news, May the merciful God, who controls the destiny of all things, spare the proud and beautiful Atlanta from the curse of barrooms. Mr. Carlisle says that the pros¬ pect of passing some kind of a tariff bill during the present Congress is better now than it, has been since the days of the Tariff commission. It is certainly time it was doing something toward reducing the rev¬ enues. At the rate at which the surplus is accumulating all the money in the countiy will soon be locked up in the treasury. At Hartwell several church mem¬ bers were discussing the amount of their increase that they had set apart for the Lord this year, One good brother, who made a much better crop of cotton than he antic¬ ipated, remarked: “I came very near promising the I.ord at plant¬ ing time that I would give him a dollar for every bale of cotton I would make this year, and, breth¬ ren, if I had done so the Lord would have got me, sure.” The Synod of Georgia will meet in the Presbyterian church at Rome to night at 7 o’clock, Rev. C. W. Lane, D. D., ol Athens, will preach the opening sermon. The body will remain in session till af¬ ter Sunday, and services will be held each night during the week. The synod is the largest Presbyte¬ rian body in the state. It includes the five presbyteries of Athens, At¬ lanta, Augusta, Cherokee and Ma¬ con, ami has a total membership of nearly 300, but perhaps not more than HR) delegates will be iu at¬ tendance. p|, ot|([ra ® 1 1 T T 7 J_J j__1 H >—i ----- The undersigned would respect¬ fully announce to the citizens of CONYERS and vicinity that lie lias fitted up a large tent o n Decatur Street, near the court house, where lie is prepared to do all kii^ls of FIRST CLASS photograph work.
