FOR TAX COLLECTOR. At the appioaching county election I respectfully ask my fellow citizens to support me for the office of Tax Collector, subject to the democratic nomination. I have been afflicted for 4° years and have never asked for an office at the hands of my people, I hope to merit a liberal support. Pledging myself to faithfully discharge all the duties of this office, I am most respectfully, Dan W. Mukdock. Conyers, Ga., June 13th 1888. TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF ROCKDALE: I hereby announce myself a candidate for the Legislature; will be pleased to have your support and influence. Primary election Saturday. July 21st, 1888. A. C. McCalla. Conyers, Ga., June 21st, 1888. VOTERS OF ROCKDALE! I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the legislature, sub¬ ject io tho democratic nomination on July 21st, and will be thankful for your support. John M. Zachky. June 22tl, 1S88. FOB REPRESENTATIVE. I announce myself a candidate for the legislature, subject to the nomination on Saturday July 21st. J. B. Graham. Conters, Ga., June 27th 1888. An old adage says that “courtesy opens many doors.” Yes, and lack °f courtesy leaves them open. V on’t somebody please invent a new adage that will tell what will shut many doors? Henry R. Jackson, jr., son of Captain Harry Jackson of Atlanta, died last Tuesday night about ll o'clock, after an illness of ten days from an attack of meningitis. He was brought home sick from Ath¬ ens, where he was attending the State University, For several days he has been at the point of death. The deceased was the youngest son, and was about 16 yeais of age. He was the pride of his father and the idol of his mother. He was buried Wednesday at the family graveyard in Athens. Col, Thomason proposes to trou¬ ble the waters with the democratic nominee in this county. He will doubtless run a surprising race and should he be elected no couniy in the state will have a representative like Rockdale’s. Col. T. M. Thomason of Sheffield district made his 4th of July ora¬ tion at the court house Wednesday last. He discussed three heads, all of the same subject he said: The blind tiger, pure democracy and needless oppression, The speech was listened to by a respectable crowd. The picnics on the 4th were all very enjoyable affairs. Col. Thomason wants less pop skull and more good liquor. He opposes blind tigers and says they are worse than dynamite, blowing up whole settlements. How would it do to have some campaign speaking just to enliven things? There is nothing like can¬ didates defining themselves on some questions, All the candidates are gifted in the “gift of gab” and the people would certainly enjoy such a treat. Our esteemed contemporary in its last issue advances a heavy ar¬ ticle sustaining the agricultural de¬ partment of Georgia in all its acts and doings. As we look at the matter there is no one thing under the sun which we cjin condemn with so much heartiness as the thing purporting to be run in the interest of the farmers of our state. Mr. Albert Roberts Jhas gone to Albany, Ga., to accept a lucrative position in a large drug store. Mr. Oscar Perry is with Dr. Lee, and we are confident he will make an accommodating and skillful drug¬ gist. We regret to lose Albert from our city, but give him up the more cheerfully as he has a good situa¬ tion. Dr. Hornaday preached a fine sermon at the First Baptist church last Sunday Messrs. Zake Almand of Car¬ rollton and John Almand of McDonough visited their parents in the city this week. Rev. J. L, Lupo preached two excellent sermons at the Methodist church Sunday. Emory college has decided to abandon its school of technology. This department has been a success, but the needs of the state in this line are fully supplied by the new state technological school, of which Dr. Hopkins, formerly president of Emory college, is now president. The total assessed value of prop¬ erty in the southern states in 1880 was $2,818,418,527, and m 1887 $3,858,509,867. If the industrial growth continues as it has during the last six months that alone will make a gain in the next seven years much larger than the gain of the past seven. No individual can afford to neg¬ lect a dut3’ so important as care and preservation of the teeth. Es¬ pecially when you can obtain a preparation so efficient as Delecta lave. Recomended by all who have triedit. Sold by all druggist at fifty cents a bottle. A milkman may drive through the creek every morning without ex¬ citing much suspicion* but when his neighbors 6ee his little boy fish¬ ing in the milk cans they are apt to make remarks. In Belgium drunkenness is pun¬ ished by compelling the man or woman caught in this condition to sweep the streets for two hours after they get sober. We believe our brother is sincere in what he says, but the old couplet is true that “When self the waver ing balance shakes, *tie rarely right adjusted.” His sincerity nor his interest does not make the agricul¬ tural bureau a good thing for far¬ mers by any means. We claim that its continuance on the same line that it has been run is a great outrage on the tax payers of the state, and is a direct imposition on the farmers. We venture the as¬ sertion that there are not one hun¬ dred farmers in Georgia who have been benefited by this coucern. The only good we have been able to see from it is that it furnishes fat situ¬ ations for Jack Henderson and his crowd. If it is in the interest of farmers, why not put men at the head of it and in all its departments who know something of the practi¬ cal needs of the Georgia farmer? You can’t take a man and place him as head counsellor of farmers, who knows nothing whatever of farming, any more than you can place a monkey as president of a theological seminary and expect it run successfully. Most of the weekly press boys issued no paper this week, How¬ ever, we are always on hand. If, as some republicans assert, Mr. Cleveland is weaker in New York than in any other state, the Chicago ticket stands a very slim chance of success. Moderate esti¬ mates by well informed democrats place Cleveland’s majority in New York anywhere between 25,000 and 50,000. What will be his majority in other states where he is not so weak? The law department of Mercer university will be a feature of the next term. At the meeting of the board of trustees Judge Emory Speer and Clem P. Steed were elec¬ ted professors in that department of the university. North Georgia is infested with Mormon missionaries, apd what is more they are doing effective work m securiug converts. If there is anything imperfect in the paper this week credit it to our 4th of July frolic, PROGRAM. CUosing Exercises of Guinn & O'Kel Icy's School. Conyers, Ga., July 5thl8S8. The closing exercises of Conyers Male and Female Academy will be held the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th inst. There will be an examination of primary classes on Tuesday 10th, of more advanced on Wednes¬ day 11th, beginning at 8 o’clock each day. Thursday evening, be¬ ginning at 8 o’clock, there will be the annual entertainment, consist¬ ing of speeches by small pupils, dialogues, etc. The exercises Friday morning will begin at 8 o’clock, and will consist mostly of declamations and recitations by larger pupils, and be concluded by a literary address by Col. Welburn Bray of Atlanta. The examination and all other exercises will be interspered with songs by the vocal class of Col. A. M. Helms. Everybody most cordially invited to be present at the whole exercises. Guinn & O’Kelley, Principals. Profs. R. A. Guinn and Murray have agreed to teach the school at the Oakland Seminary next year So this does away with the Guinn and O’Kelley school. The union of the two schools will insure one extra good school, both in pay and the number of students. Owing to outstanding contracts that must be filled this year the newly elected teachers will not begin their labors at the Seminary until next Janua¬ ry. Then every thing will be read y, the house rebuild or repaired, and Con} f ers will have a school worthy the pride of everybody. Senator Colquitt thinks that the republican ticket is the most favor¬ able one far the democrats that could have been nominated. It will not command, he thinks, more than the partisan republican vote in any State. The senator is doubtless right. The ticket is not a storng one. ■ i The republican newspapers which are now saying patriotic things in connection with the Gettysburg re¬ union will change their tune in a few days, and will be qujte happy if they can revive the animosities of the past by waving the bloody shirt. Mr. Thurman, according to Con¬ gressman Callins, who has just re¬ turned from Ohio, will take the stump during the campaign, and will speak in Ohio and Indiana, and will then stir up New York and perhaps New Jersey and Connecti¬ cut. “Pa,’ inquired a little boy, “does satan »ver go to Europe for a sum¬ mer vacation?’ “No, son,” replied the old gedtleman, ‘ ‘satan states at home and attends to business. The Third Georgia regiment re¬ union at Madison on August 8 and 9 is an assured success, $800 hav¬ ing already been subscribed, beside quite a number of carcasses for the barbecue. The 4th of Julv was enjoyed by everybody in Rockdale county. The three picnics at Cora, at Ros¬ ser’s mills in Sheffield district and at McDaniell’s mills were largely attended and every one had a delightful time. At Cora they had good singing, eloquent speeches by distinguished gentleman and a su¬ perabundance of good things to eat. It was probably the most happ} 7 event of the kind ever held at Cora. It is estimated that there were over 300 pounds of fish caught and cooked at McDaniell’s mills. All who attended report having an indiscribably pleasant time. The Sheffield picnic was one for pleas ure and those who attended were by no means disappointed. As a whole all the pienics were the most pleasent ever held in the county. Nothing but the best of humor pre uailed all around, and the glorious 4th has come and gone and every one can look back to the day with feelings of pride and satisfaction. Our heavy editor in company with Cols. Bob and Mark Irwin at¬ tended the weekly press convention at Gainesville this week, An ex¬ cursion will be tendered the press gang and it is uncertain when they will return. Mr Arch Stewart sold his entire stock of goods this week to Messrs, George Cain and Pres Elliott. It is talked that both parties made a good trade. Mr. Stewart will look after his collections and the new firm Will do business at the Stewart stand. We wish all the gentlemen success. It may not be twelve months be¬ fore a handsome and commodious college will adorn the hill whereon the Oakland Seminary now 'sits se¬ renely. Our people are very much interested in the school question and in all probability some decisive action will be taken in the matter in a few days. Capt. Collins, so we are informed, has proposed to do¬ nate the roek for building a college and offers still more liberally by proposing to pay in carili his pro rata part be that much or little, It only takes a few men of this kind to build a, house or even a town for that matter. What say our citizens to forming a committee and then let them go forward with zeal and determination to raise four or five thousand dollars and erect a house that will be to every body a thing <«f beauty and a joy forever. We have the men, the rock, the money, and all that is now lacking is only concerted and determined effort. If we will unite and pull together the college is a certainty; if we can’t agree—well, wo believe the college will be built anyway. Sunday morning last A nee Carr’s wife, colored, was found dead in bed. Coronor Oaks impaneled a jury Monday to investigate the case and returned a veidici that she died from natural causes. Mr. Arnold Whitaker was foreman of the jury. Delightfull rains this week. A man in the long run never loses anything by being loyal to his friends. Now and then a little treachery may triumph but its taiumph is short lived for it is a truth though the saying is old that chickens alwa3 r s come home to roost. And usually in a political sense sooner than one likes it. Misses Mamie and Kittie Win burn are visiting relatives in Rut¬ ledge this week. Miss Maggie Lizzie Webb, daughter of Dr. Webb of Newton county, visited rel¬ atives in the city this week Attend the examination exercises of Guinn & O Kelley’s school next week. See program. Mrs. Tom Elliott is visiting Mrs. M. O. Elliott in Henry county this week. Mr. Tom Elliott has made some valuable improvements on his house on Decatur street. Ho will move into it next week. M r s. Jim Shepard of Stone Mountain is visiting her mother, Mrs. Sarah Turner in the city.| Mrs. George Clemmons has moved to Logansville and Mr. Pat Langford now occupies the dwelling she vacated. The Farmers’Alliance is a powerful or¬ ganization. Butts county is going to have a Far¬ mers’ Alliance candidate for the legis¬ lature. Business in the mayor’s court has been quite lively this year. Some times there are some lively cases also. Mr. Joe Stewart of Covington and Mr. Tom Stewart of McDonough were in the city Thursda3\ If we have only two legislative candidates won’t things get lively? Oh the fun the candidates will have ! Will our citizens be willing to be taxed to bui’d a rock college on the Oakland Seminary ground? This is a question and it will sooner or later be settled. It goes without dispute that we need a col¬ lege and need one badly. It is a neces¬ sity. And, what is the best way to raise the required amount of money? Shall it be done by taxation, or part by taxation and part by subscription, or shall it alj be raised by subscription. One of the three propersitions will have to be accept¬ ed, and tho question is, which is the most reasonable and satisfactory? Just a little question: Wonder if the legislative race in this county will be Peek and McCalla again? The agricultural bureau is a gieat in¬ stitution.
