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. We understand the Social Circle cotton seed oil mill and guano com¬ pany have paid $32,000 in cash for cotton seed alone since last fall. For Sale. —A good family horse and splendid buggv.

He is in his ninety third year and has clear¬ ed four acres of new ground this winter, and can ride a horse like a sixteen year old boy.—McDonough Weekly. It is estimated that the Chinese language is spoken by 400 millions, Hindustan by over 100 millions, English by about 100 millions, and German and Spanish by about 50 millions each.
