Christmas has come and gone,
and we are left forlorn—clean
out of “ rye ” and clean out of
“ corn. ”
_______—-—-- edited
The Atlanta Journal is
by three red heads, viz : Rich
ardson, Horton anu Clayton,
therefore—its brilliancy.
The Atlanta Journal claims
that “its” Mr. Smith “stands
closer” to Mr. Cleveland than
any other Georgian, AVeare of
the opinion that this statement
is all Hoke-us poke-us.
One of |the best journalists;
one of the best legislators ; one
of the nicest gentlemen in Geor
giaisthe Hon. John T. Boifeu
illet, of the county of Bibb. He
Is an honor to his race and a
blessing to his State.
Of all the notices of the great
work done by the Atlanta Con¬
stitution in the recent elections
not one hit the main point,
which is this : It was a guar¬
antee to the people that they
should have the newsno matter
what the labor or cost.
There were five members of
the late Legislature who parted
their hair in the middle and
none of them were -worth a
d__How would John I
Hall, Bill Fleming or Ed Alartin
look with their hair parted like
a gal.
They have their faults, of
course, hut take them all in all
the Howells of the Atlanta Con¬
stitution are the peers of any
men in Georgia. Brainy, active,
brave, amiable, generous and
true. A\ r e like the Howells and
thank them for the great work
they have done for Georgia.
As we walked out on our
front porch Sunday morning we
found a gallon of old sweet
mash, a quart of rye, two quarts
of peach and a bushel of ’taters.
We don’t know what to do
with the ’taters. They must
have been sent in by some
stranger.
McDonough is trying to get
up a cotton factory. She ought
to experience little trouble in
doing so. She can boast of
some of the finest “ yarn spin¬
ners” in the country; for in¬
stance: Dr. Charles, Uncle
Jimmie A-, the talented
Mayor and others.
We happen to know that it
would be highly gratifying to
that noble Georgian, the Hon.
James H. Blount, to he selected
by his people to fill the office Jpf
Governor, and when the term
of our present able encumbent
expires we want Blount to take
his 'place.
W/hile Bill Glenn was not
successful in his fight upon. Go
(a fight in the interest of
purity upon the bench) he, nev¬
came out ahead 'with
the people on his side. He is
one of the brightest young men
in Georgia and the day is com
ing when the people will see
that he receives Justice.
,
The coutinuel incarceration of
Iteve Ryan is an outrage on
, human liberty, Thrown in
prison by Gober ond held there
by Clake—the first, lecently
whitewashed by an investigat¬
ing (?) committee, the second, a
tyrant and a stranger to justice
with mercy— and kept there be¬
cause he does not pay his debts.
The people should rise in their
might and see that justice is
done.
The boys have been making
it warm for Miss Mollie Cotton
Tail for the last few days.

The Hon Augustus Bacon
from the county of Bibb did not
make the reputation in late ses
sion of the Legislature that
some of his ardent admirers ex¬
pected. His vicious attacks
upon the railroads and manner
of conducting the Gober inves¬
tigation lost him friends.
The election of Gober to
the Judgeship of the Blue Ridge
circuit was wrong and the vin¬
dication given him by the inves¬
tigating (?) committee and sus¬
tained by the General Assem¬
bly, a] damnable outrage. All
honor to old Henry’s noble rep¬
resentative, Ed Reagan, and the
eleven others who refused to be
parties to the transaction.
Sound Pacts.
The members of every com¬
munity are dependent one upon
another. For a people to -be
happy and prosperous they
must help one another. This
is trne in a business way as
well as in a social way. If ev¬
ery merchant, every fanner,
every mechanic and every other
professional man who has need
for a physician ip this town or
county were to go to Atlanta or
some other town, our physicians
would perish to death. If they
should go elsewhere for their
legal advice our lawyers would
share the same fate. It would
be the same way with our mer¬
chants, mechanics, etc. On the
other hand if we will patronize
our doctors, our merchants, our
lawyers, our farmers, our me¬
chanics, etc., we will all live,
keep our money at home, and
prosper.
The merchants of Conyers
keep, as a general thing, goods
of superior quality to those you
get in the cities and the aver¬
age price is less. Our people
should buy from our home mer¬
chants “every article, large or
small, that it is posible to get,
even if it should cost a little
more, which we do not admit,
thereby leaving the money here
at home. The same theory is
applicable to every other class
of our people. We must help
one another—do it liberally—
and we will all prosper. We
say to our ladies, stop runing to
other towns when you want to
do a little shopping. If your
home merchant has not what
you want let him get it for you.
It will cost you no more and
give a profit to him, and if your
husband is a mechanic, a far¬
mer or a professional man, the
merchant will be able to patron¬
ize him and you will get your
money back which you never
would do if you went to Atlan¬
ta to trade. How many mer¬
chants of other towns patronize
our doctors, our mechanics etc ?
Very few. The motto is : Help
one another and we will all be
more successful.
Conyers is fast becoming the
trading point for this whole sec¬
tion of Georgia. DeEalb, Gwin
nett, AValton. Newton, Butts, ■
Henry and even Clayton county
farmers are coming here to buy
their supplies. Our merchants
pay cash for their goods, give
the fanners the benefit of low
prices and get their trade. Con
yers this year will draw trade
from all the surrounding towns
and those who come here will J
never regret it.
