Our people have worked, they have economized and 1 ; they prepared themselves for the worst, but, thanks to a ft kind Providence, they have been given fair crops, the fear a! that there would be no money to move their cotton even at ft six cents has been dispelled. There will be plenty dollars of mj V 5 uey and cotton has gone up from four to five per bale iff the last few days. I 11 regard to the money market one of the best informed fi¬ nanciers in the country says : “This is the first of September and marks the beginning of the winter business, and even if there were no other causes at work to bring better times, September would doit. By the 10th you will find times very much brighter. ” general There are good signs everywhere, but the best sign of restoration of confidence is in the reduction of the premium on currency in New York. It has declined now to as low as 1 per cent and the speculation in currency is about over. Confi¬ dence has been restored in Europe and large quantities of gold continue to come to New York. The banks are beginning to loosen their purse strings and there is every indication of better times. favorable. The banks The conditions at home are exceedingly and ill have more money than they had this time last year, vx handle the cotton crop without any trouble. Cotton will come in very soon and the money will begin to get into circulation. When the money starts, one dollar will pay many dollars of debt, and that will make people easier. The farmers will have money over, for they have never been so free from debt. We have had no failures, no pestilence, no storms, and the people will come out of this thing better than they went into it. Other financiers at home and abroad speak in the same checi ful strain—all of which goes to prove that the storm has passed. It will be good news to our farmers to know that we have made arrangements for all the money necessery to pay for the cotton ! to know that we have made arrangements to pay just as much for cotton as the Atlanta buyer can possibly pay. Grading is always higher and, therefore, you can get more money for your cotton in Conyers, than you can at any olnei town in this section. Bring your cotton here and save from 1 to 2 dollars on the bale. To those who owe us we will pay Atlanta and Augusta & ri¬ ces for their cotton. Mr. A. P.

Murdock, it becomes necessary for some one to be elected to tlie place of Tax Collector which he so ably filled. Being conversant with Mr. Murdock’s affairs and the con dition of his worldly estate, after advisement, and with a pure, motive to do fall justice to the memory of the deceased and his most worthy widow, I have this proposition to submit to the public '. real TYs is generally known,Mr, Murdock died possessed of ly nothing, and his outstanding debts, contracted during the year on the strength of liis office, are unpaid. To these have been added burial and funeral expenses, His friends in the city and county have stood to him with fidelity and devotion, and it is my purpose to give Mrs. Murdock, the widow of the deceased Tax Collector of Rockdale county, half of the pro¬ ceeds of the office for the unexpired term, WHICH WILL AMOUNT TO $200 A YEAR FOR HER, OR $-100 FOIt HER, FOR THE TWO YEARS. Bo far Mr. Murdock has only served about 7 i/aonths of the time, but really his liooxs not even received to date upon which to make out the tax. are Believing this proposition will mete out the honor due to the memory of the noble hearted dead, aud at the same time contribute substantially to the help of Ins broken hearted and afflicted widow, I beg to subscribe myself. Conyers, Ga., Aug- 18,1893. Very respectfully, Leonidas F, Scott. I guarantee the bond, and that the above proposition vvjj be faithfully performed. John H. Almand. Conyers, Ga„ Aug- 18, 1893.

For seven Murdock supported himself by the help of friends looking a ter such business of the county as was his duty, and we believe it is nothing but fairness that his widow should have a pait of the nroceeds of the office. If anyone has a better offer to ina ke than Mr. Scott’s, let him do so. If Scott is elected, we believe he will fill the office well and we are satisfied that he will can y out his promises to tlie letter, J • - N ■ iUU ’ CONYERS, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 6, 1893. All Three Were Left. A rich joke leaked out this week on tV.reo hova. They are Pic Cross Billy Byrnes and D. Webster Me Carthy. A woman vras at the bottom of it all. Upt long ago she was visiting friends across the river. She was an attractive Kon trxlcy girl and had ranch company. As sho was lxoifc for a good time she treated all tho boys graeioviiilv mid of course ex¬ pected atte ntion in return. 1 inch thought no v. as her ’ v.-onte ont or, and as a con seqneneo was lavish in his attention to her. Ail of tile boys know each other, but none knew of tho other's predileetion tortne girl. w hen the time came for her to go home, she bade them adieu nnd said that she would go in a day or two. Each of the boys asked (the girl if he could call on her. She said yes and fixed tho evening when she would be at her homo in the interior of this state. Each went thero thinking that he iiad a cinch on her. One of them rode in sleeper, the second in a day ft coach ui;l the third in the smoker, was about midnight When they arrive;! at the place, and they went to bed at different hotels, The next morning three buggies were Strung along the road en route to tho girl's house. It was a snowy, cold day, and they all got left. The girl concluded to remain over a week longer and never thought that the boys would coine. When they came to the house one by one and found that the girl had not yet got home, (hey—-swore. They ail came home together. The trip cost them tjtifl each. They tried to keep tho affair quiet, and they have succeeded so tar. - -Cin¬ cinnati Enquirer. 1-ifts an Elephant With Tils Teeth. Milo, the famous athlete of ancient Greece, the man who was victor at both the Olympic and Pythian games for six different times in. succession, and whose chief claim to fame rests upon the feat of running four miles with a 3-ycar-olu ox upon Iris shoulders, would hide his head with shame could lie visit London and witness the wonderful feats per¬ formed by Sullivan, the modern Samson. Sullivan is only 31 years of ago * and weighs but 168 pounds, yet he is a phve ical giant without an equal in the known world. He regularly goes through a routine of feats illustrative of his won dtrful strength, the most remarkable bo ing the actual lifting of an elephant with bis teeth. •The elephant is not a Jumbo, to bo sure; neither is ho small, especially when you come to consider tho nizo of the man who does tho lifting and the usual di mansions .and strength of human teeth, The elephant daily and nightly swung liko a pendulum from Mr. Sullivan's teeth ls known as “the infant” and tween 1,800 and 2,000 pounds. This ro : markable strong man is probably only one in the world who lifts more thaq 1,000 pounds with the teeth alone.

Crystal pf c$ti|ing vision, it sub¬ ap¬ pears, is a method ; the liminal cofispiousnes^ to %o to.,work. This may not appear clear. But accord; , ing to these igentleinen. there are little scullery uiiiids in the brain that are never permitted to show themselves up stairs, but can do a lot of work, if, put to it, chiefly in tho way of hunting up lost nr tides in the brain. Crystal vision, it geeras. is one of tho methods employed. This is borrowed from the black art. but according to the psychical research er is now entirely domesticated and per fcetly trustworthy. The method is to hold a crystal in the palm of the hand, such as the professional hypnotist era ploys, and gaze on it steadily, when some messenger of the brain will run t<> do your bidding. Dr. Hodgson told of a woman who, whenever she desired to re call anything sho had forgotten, could have it brought her by looking steadily in a glass of water. At such times she would also-utter words and tell truths which She would utter consciously. It has not heretofore been water that was believed to promote truth telling and ox cite strange utterances. This same v.’ovnau, according to Dr. Hodgson, not only by gazing into pol ished surfaces could have brought her forgotten things, but her messenger would run into other people’s brains aud fetch her things that did not belong to her. Thus a friend was writing an arti cle, and setting herself to gaze ju a erys tal one of these undersprites rummaged her friend’s brain aud gave it away. The propriety of this sort of burglarious en ferprise is a question. Is the Society ot Psychical Research developing merely new opportunities for crime? Imagine a man who has laboriously worked out a poem in his brain having it rifled without any means of detecting the thief. Fancy a person at dinner gazing intently in his tumbler of watei and appropriating therewith his neigh bors’ anecdotes and smart sayings, What kind of defenses can people put up against this sort of mental theft: fjnless the Society of Psychical Re search pursue the matter far enough t< show the subliminal consciousness ho" also to stand sentry and guard the out posts of the brain, social intercourse would soon become impossible.—-New York Evening Sun.

BaUrU For Cattish ai.U Caught an Out. A man of unquestioned veracity vouches for tho truth of this fish story: His friend, who lives a few miles in the country, net a line for catfish one.day. 111 tho morning when ho went after the fish he found them in abundance, and on one line he found a large owl that must have been a terror to birds and fishes when alive. Tho line urns wound around the body and the neck of the uwi,' and tho fish boro marks of thoovvl’s talons, showing that the owl had caught the fish after the hoolc had caught it, and in its efforts to fly away with tfio fish it had been ensnared by the line, after which tho fish had its inning by drowning the owl. At any rate tho owl was dead, and tho fish, though disfigured, was still in the swim and playing tho lino with a vigor that caused tho line to bob up and down with the irregularity of the cotton mar¬ ket. The drowned owl is on exhibition as a witness to the truth of the stor ,r , and tiie fish, though the finest of the catch, escaped the frying pan, and now has a steady job as an owl catcher.
