TRUTH, JUSTICE AND PROGRESS FOREVER.
CONYERS, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 30, 1886.
SHADYDALE ITEMS,
There was a most enjoyable pound
party at Mr. Jim Parker's last Fri¬
day night.
Mr. T. H. Hardin is still crowded
with cotton at liis gin.
It. is strange how quick some
tilings will die.
Mr. Henry Parker is right sick in
bed. We hope he will be up soon.
Several from this neighborhood
vvil attend the Macon fair.
We are all pretty well up with our
cotton and so a nice rain would be
very acceptable about now. riding
Lonnie Brisendine was

Wardie Ogletree is now riding

The prayer meeting at Shadydale
Sunday night was well attended and
led by Sir. J. M. Mann.
W. T. Stanton went to Conyers
last Saturday for the first time this
fall. He is a fine business man and
an enterprising citizen. Would that
the country was filled up with just
such men.
Mrs. Robbie Dillon, of Atlanta, is
visiting her parents, Col. J. B. Gra¬
ham’s family.
T. H. Hardin has bought an ox and
has challenged Mr. Bud Waldrop to
trot oxen with him a mile for $10.
Mr. Press Roberts, of Walton
county, is visiting relatives and
friends in this settlement.
Cold and windy.
Baby carriages art now made to
costas high as $375 each. This is
good for the carriage makers, but
it looks very much like a blow at
our infant industries.
A New York exchange tells the
story of a tragedy under the start
ling headline: “Found Hanging by
His Wife.’ - But where should mar
ried men be found if not hanging by
their wives?
Neice (showing the wedding pres
cnts to Uncie George)—I wanted
you to see them all, dear Uncle
George, so that you won't send a du¬
plicate. Duplicate wedding pres
ents are so annoying you know.
Uncle George—H m! What’s this?
Neiee—That’s papa's cheek for one
thousand dollars. Isn’t it lovely?
Uncle George—I intended to send
the same thing, but rather than an¬
noy you with a duplicate present
I’ll just make it five hundred.
Mr. Manning, the new Minister to
Mexico, has been regularly present¬
ed to the president of that so called
republic.
There was a dog fight in the white
house the other night in the midst
of one of President Cleveland’s re
eeptions. An old man from Virginia
had gone in with the crowd and in
tended to present the president with
two pointer pops. He had a pup on
eaeli arm. Just before the line
reached the president in the hand
shaking proceedings the pups began
to fight. The old man dropped them
to the floor where they clinched, and
yowling, howling, snapping and
barking, they rolled over and over,
between the president's legs finally and un¬
der a chair. They were ta¬
ken out. After the reception the
old man tried to get in again with
the pups, but could not make it and
accordingly took the puppies back
to Virginia,
The visitation of cholera, which
began in Toulon in June, 1884, and
still continues in southern Europe,
has been like no other epidemic in
its course. It has continually tend
ed to spread to the south rather
than to the north. In its third year
it still exhibits as fatal virulence as
in the outset. It is said its ravages
have been worse in the small towns
than in the large cities.
Gen. John B. Gordon last Thurs¬
day night delivered at Park opera
house. Jacksonville, the finest politi
cal oration ever heard in Florida. A
special from that place to the Con
stitution says: “The house was
crowded with the best citizens, in¬
cluding many ladies, and his address
was punctured with enthusiastic ap¬
plause. At the end he received a
perfect ovation, as he was forced to
leave to catch the train for Macon.
Gen. Gordon came to Jacksonville,
in response to an urgent and earnest
appeal of the democratic congress
ional committee to speak at the great
closing meeting of the campaign.
There was danger of this district be¬
ing lost by the democrats. Gor¬
don's visit and speech were genuine
missionary work and will win many
votes for the democratic can lidate.

The young sportsmen of the pres*
ent day think they do well when
they kill a few birds and squirrels.
But here is what an old sportmen did
one day in the year 1855 at Red
mont. on Broad river. He cauglp
five large red horse, killed five squir
rels, a bag of birds, one eoon, two
large gobblers and closed the day by
shooting 37 ducks.
Men who now enter public life,
says the Boston Herald, cannot hide
under a bushel. A fierce light beats
upon their crowns whether they like
it or not, and every hair of their
heads gets numbered. In prepar¬
ing for this race they should think
how conspicuous they will become;
how the shape of their finger nails
and the cut of their mustache will be
criticised and “mentioned,” along
with their moral and financial
worth, from one end of the country
to the other.

One of the saddest eases that we
have any knowledge of was that of
a young man George Banks, about
26 years old, who died iu Covington
Sunday. Banks was at one time
well thought of, but he took to drink,
going from bad to worse, until he
died Sunday, filling a drunkard s
grave. He drank from a quart to a
half gallon of whisky every day, and
it is sabl that after his death the
whisky literally ran from his mouth,
presenting a most revolting specta
cle. He is the son of one of New¬
ton’s staunchest citizens, and we
know that his old father's head must
be bowed in sorrow' at such an un¬
timely end to which in former days
gave promise of such a bright fu
ture.—Griffin Sun.
Throe white women were brought
into Atlanta Saturday from Talking
Rock, where they were operators of
an illicit still. They are Mrs. Frick
and h r two daughters, Sallie and
Emma. The revenue raiders came
upon them quite unexpectedly in
their mountain retreat. The wo
men took their arrest coolly, and
made but one request, that of eon
suiting a mirror before starting out
on their journey to jail.
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland
will retire, and her physicians **a\
she must winter in Florida or the
South of France.
President Cleveland is under treat
meat to have liis weight reduced,
but now that he lias begun to sit
down upon republican officeholders
it doesn’t strike us that he is too
heavy.
Says the Dalton News: “The An
archists hold that they are justified
in impiessinglheir opinions on the
public, peaceably if possible, and if
peaceable means fail, then forcibly.
On the other hand the public holds
that it must convince the Anarchists
that they are wrong, peaceably if
possible, and if peaceable arguments
fail, then the halier; and the pub
lie seems to have the most
strength.”
Forget not the home. If it is but
an humble one, beautify it as far as
you are aide. A little idle time
spent in planting trees ami cultiva
ting flowere will change the barren
waste into a littie Eden. It will
make a home nest for your children,
in which they will grow up and
learn to love. If anv place should
be sacred, if any place should be
lovelj’. it is the homestead, the
home stall, the place where the wife
and children stay.
You can buy a pound of fine chew¬

The Knights of Labor have just
had a big procession in Philadelphia.
Juding from the notes of the Even
ing News, the order in that locality
must be in a prosperous condition.
It says. “With the acception of one
or two groups, like the briekinakers,
there was not assembly in line which
did not have the appearance of be
ing well fed, well dressed, and pros
perous. The majority wore good
suits of black clothes. Many had
high silk hats, in as good condition
as any you will see on the streets
at any time, while by no means a
small proportion wore kid gloves ”
