EDI roRIALS. 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. Yo). 13 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. HALE’S WEEKLY. Conyers- Georgia.
