Some business of importance to every member is to be transacted and ev¬ erybody is urged to be present. A movement is on foot to get our merchants to close doors at six o’clock in the afternoon. We hope they will all consent to do so. A great many have expressed not on¬ ly a willingness but a desire to do so. Clerks need rest and recrea tion. Mei chants need the same. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is an old saying, but a true one. Few men are worked as hard or as closely as merchants and clerks. Most of them get to work by 5 o’clock in the morn¬ ing aad work till from 8 to 10 o’clock at night. Let the merchants get together and make an agree¬ ment to close at six and take rec¬ reation. Death’s Sad Roll, The infant of Mrs. Balls, of Thomasville, died at this place Tuesday night last. Mrs, Balls was visiting her brother-in-law here Dr. H. Y. Hardwick, and while here her little child was taken suddenly ill and died. The body was carried to Thomasville for burial. Died. —On Sunday morning the 20th inst.,Willie the 17 year old son of Mr. Frank McDaniel. He had been sick for a long time. He was a bright and promising lad and his death was a severe stroke to his family arid friends. His remains were interred in Rockdale cem itery Tuesday morning. Dr. H. Quigg preached the funeral at the Presby¬ terian church. The bereaved have our heatfelt sympathies. We are pained to chronicle the death of our most worthy and high¬ ly respected citizen, Mr. H. L. Ship ley, which sad event transpired Wednesday night last at 11 o’clock. He was taken suddenly ill Sunday the 20th, inst., with hemorrhage of the bowels and died in just four days. Mr. Shipley was one of our best and most substantial citizens and his death will be a great shock to the entire county. He was a no¬ ble-hearted man, a loving husband and a devoted father. He was for¬ ty-two years old—just in the prime of manhood. He I laves a heart¬ broken wife and five devoted chil¬ dren, and host of relatives and friends to mourn his death. In Mr. Shipley’s death Rockdale county loses one of her best citizens and most successful farmers. His re¬ mains were interred yesterday in Rockdale cemetery. May the sod rest lightly on his breast, and may God temper this affliction to the heart stricken family. The bereaved have our sincere and heartfelt sym¬ pathy. Another good and true citizen has been called away. On Wed¬ nesday morning at 1 o’clock, Cap. tain Notley W. Maddox died at his home in this place of paralysis. For a long time Captain Maddox has been afflicted with this dire disease, and on Wednesday it ac¬ complished its dreadful work. He died without a struggle, surrounded by family and friends. He was 61 years old. He was a good citizen in peace, and a true soldier when his country’s rights were involved. His career as Captain in the Civil war was brave and manly. He nev flinched for danger when duty call¬ ed. He has served several terms, with great credit, as Alderman of Conyers, and his place though humbly and unassumingly filled will be hard to fill again. He leaves a wife and five children and a large circle 01 family connec¬ tions and friends to mourn his de¬ mise. His remains were laid to rest in Rockdale cemeteryyesterday morning at 10 o’clock. To the grief stricken family we extend our heartfelt sympathy. NOTICE.
