THE WEEKLY.
R,J. GUINN,
•EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
SI.25 PER ANNUM.
Entered at the Conyers Post Office
as second class mall matter.
Advertising rates made known on
Demand.
Job Work Neatly and Promptly
Executed.
The protectionists can claim
more and prove less than any set of
people under the sun.
The Griffin News has taken its
stand in favor of paying ministers
for preaching funeral sermons, as
well as for performing marriage
ceremonies.
The coolness with which the re¬
publican papers are discussing the
propriety of a ‘bloody shirt’ cam¬
paign is amusing. To lie or not to
lie—that is the question, and it
seems to be with them a question,
not of right but of expediency.
The democratic paity has amis¬
sion. This mission is to free the
people from the slavery to the pro¬
tected millionaires. If the party
fails to make an honest effort to do
this it will have outlived its useful¬
ness and will desei veto be defeated.
Nine tenths of the weekly press
of Georgia, as well as a majority of
the dailies in the state, are fully
abreast with the President, Speaker
Carlisle, Senator Colquitt and a
large majority of the democratic
party on the tariff and revenue
questions.
There is a man in Warren coun¬
ty, a good conversationalist, worth
nt least $15,000, who, since the war,
has not combed his hair, nor shot a
gun, nor wet a fish hook, nor worn
a starched shirt or collar or cravat,
nor had a Sunday suit of clothes,
nor voted for a president except
Cleveland.
The oldest woman in New Jersey
has been found. Her name is Dian
ah Schenek. She is colored, and
according to report is 115 years old.
-Of course she remembers Washing¬
ton. In fact, there is very little
connected with American history
for the past 115 years that she does
not remember. Probably the re¬
port is ‘colored.’
Congressman John 1). Stewart is
making a strong effort to secure a
$75,000 appropriation from con¬
gress to build a government bar¬
racks at Atlanta. He has a good
backing and will doubtless succeed
in securing has wanted appropria¬
tion. Congress has few members if
any who have achieved such prom¬
inence in so short a time as Judge
Stewart. lie has already done
much work that illustrates his zeal,
faithfulness and ability. He is re.
garded by many, who are capable
of judging, as the ablest man in the
Georgia delegation.
A gentleman in Atlanta is pecu¬
liarly afflicted. One of his eyes is
a dark blue in color, and the other
is a light gray. In the daytime—
from sunrise to sunset—he canno t
see anything out of the blue eye,
but can see distinctly and well
with the gray eye; and from sun¬
set to sunrise he cannot see any¬
thing with the gray one. His hear¬
ing is similarly affected. He can
hear only on the blind side; thus
he can hear with one ear during
the daytime, and with one car dur¬
ing the night. He never discover¬
ed this until recently.
The report of the expenses of the
First Methodist church of Atlanta
for last year was submitted Sunday
morning to the congrega ion. The
actual expenses were $9,870.50.
Among the important items, $2,100
was expended to the choir, foreign
missions $1,255.30, $555 to presid¬
ing elder, and $2,500 pastor's sala¬
ry. The expenses estimated for
this year were submitted, giving
$4,000 as pastor’s salary, $0000 to
presiding elder, $2,000 to choir,
$778.85 to foreighn mission. The
expenses are estimated at $10,142.-
10. This church now has one of
the largest memberships in Atlanta.
After thirteen years’ litigation,
an Albany, N. Y., estate has realiz¬
ed 85 cents apiece for the heirs.
The lawyers got about $11,000 each.
Served the heirs right, They
didn’t deserve the 85 cents.
A girl in Oconee county, Ga,
married at the age of 9 years, her
husband being 45 years.
Misprints on occasions are of a
very painful nature. The editor of
a temperance paper who wrote,
“Getting drunk is folly,’ was horri¬
fied to read in his sheet next day
that “Getting drunk is jolly.’
The prisoner being asked wheth¬
er he struck the man in the heat of
passion replied, “No, struck him
in the pit of the stomach.
A coat tail flirtation is said to be
tie latest. A wrinkled coat tail
with visible toe marks means, “I
have spoken to your father.
The Atlanta city council has re¬
pealed the black list law. A man
can now get drunk in Atlanta as
often as he pleases.
Cartersville has raised a $1,000
fund with which to advertise the
advantages of that enterprising
town.
The citizens of Griffin have de¬
termined to erect another large cot¬
ton mill in that city during the
present year.
Father McGlynn declines to be
a candidate for president, He will
continue to devote most of his at¬
tention to the Pope till people get
tired of him.
A New Kork anarchist lodge is
about to prosecute its president,
who embezzled its funds. It seems
that after all, under certain cir¬
cumstances, anarchists do believe
in law.
There is one hundred and seven
thousand paupers in the city of
London.
Advices from Shanghai say that
a terrible earthquake has occurred
in the province of Yunan, China,
by which two thousand lives are
reported to have been lost.
This country has turned out
some great men, and there are a few
in congress now that should be
turned out.
