CONYERS BOOMING.
It is true that no town in the
State is progressing just at pres¬
ent faster than Conyers. Our
merchants are all happy and
doing well; the farmers are
paying up and having some¬
thing over for another year ;
our school system will soon be
free and the children are in a
good humor ; the city is going to
have a better system of streets
and electric light. Many other
improvemements will follow
and in a few years Conyers
will be one of the foremost little
cities of the State. Everyone
sliould work and do all in their
power to accomplish this end.
Growlers and complainting
pessimists will never build up
anything or anybody. Let ev¬
ery class, every profession and
every race pull and work to¬
gether and the result will be of
great value to all.
Georgia, with the exception
of Mississippi, excells every oth¬
er state in the union in the pro¬
duction of cotton. Georgia ex¬
cells every other state in the
union in a great many ways.

Conyers merchants will buy
about 500 bales of cotton to¬
day. Our merchants pay from
a quarter to a half a cent more
on the pound than any of the
surrounding towns. Pretty well

A KING’S HORSE.
A good story is told of a
purse-bound old nobleman who
was traveling through the rural
districts of Sweden. In that
country the people do not have
quite as much respect for the
titled aristocracy as in other lo¬
calities on the continent.
One day the nobleman came
rolling up to a country tavern,
and as he stopped his carriage
he called out in an imperious
tone.
“ Horses, landlord, horses at
once. ” •“ I am very much pain¬
ed to inform you that you will
have to wait over an hour be¬
fore fresh horses can be brought
up, ” replied the landlord cahn
iy.
“ How ! ” violently exclaimed
the nobleman. “ This is to mo !
My man, I demand horses im¬
mediately. ”
Then observing the fresb,
sleek looking ones which were
being led up to another carriage
he continued.
“ For whom are _those horse
fiS?”
“ They are ordered for this
gentleman, ” replied the land-

lord pointing to a tall slim in¬
dividual a few paces distant.
“ I say my man, ” called out
the nobleman, “ will let me have
those horses. ”
“ No, ” answered the slim
man, “ I intend to use them
myself. ”
“ Perhaps you are not aware
who I am, ” roared jlie now
thoroughly agitated and irate
nobleman. “ I am, sir, Field
Marshal Baron George Sparee,
the last and only one of my
race. ”
“ I am very glad to hear that,’
said the slim man, stepping Tn
to his carriage. “ It would be
a terrible think that there might
be more of you coming. I am
inclined to think that your race
will be a foot race. ”
The slim man was the King
of Sweden.
THE BRAKEMAN’S PRAYER.
A well-known brakemau has
composed and sent to the Post
this invocation, and which will
be appreciated by every train¬
man aud by every official who
has worked himself up from
the ranks :
“ O, Lord! now that I have
flagged thee, lift my feet from
the rough road of life and plant
them firmly on the deck of the
train of salvation ! Let me use
the safety lamp kuowu as pru¬
dence, make all the couplings
in the train with the strong
link of thy love, and let my
hand lamp be the Bible. And,
Heavenly Father, keep all
switches closed .that lead off on
sidings, especially those with a
blind end! Oh, Lord! if it be
thy pleasure, have every sem¬
aphore block along the line show
the while light of hope, so that
I can make the run of life with¬
out stopping. And, Lord, give
us the Ten Commandments as
a schedule, and give us motive
power enough to live up to the
schedule, aud when I have fin¬
ished the run, and have, on
schedule time, pulled into the
great dark station of death, may
thou, the Superintendent of the
Universe, say, with a smile,
“ Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, ” come up aud
sign the payroll and receive
your well earned check for
eternal happiness.—Pittsburg
Post.
HE HAD STUDIED.
It is to be feared that even in the
United States so-called liberally
educated men are ignorant of many
simple and useful things; but what
shall be said of the slate of cduca
tion in China, as pictured by the
author of “ Chinese Characteristics'?’
It is exceedingly common to find
men who have spent more years in
study than they can remember, who
yet cannot read the simplest collo¬
quial book, nor repeat pago of
what they have studied.
A few months ago the writer met
in a dispensary a man who seemed
to be examining his tally-card with
a minute attention which indicated
that he ^recognized the characters.
The latter were few and simple,
merely indicating his surname and
number, “ Wang, Number 236. ”
On being asked if he knew the
characters by sight, he replied that
he recognized “uboui half of them. ”
“ And have you studied at school? ’
*• Oh yes. *’

UNITY.
A sombre pine is stirred
By the recreant wind on high.
And oat of its gloom like a word
Breaketh a bird to the sky.
The sky speaks truth through
a star;
The star seeks the heart of the
sea;
To the sea strives a river afar ;
In the river a brook laughs
free.
And down to the brook doth
gleam
The thread of a mountain spring
Born in the shade of that pine
troe’s dream
And brushed by the bird’s soft
wing.
Brunswick is just now in a
state of destitution. Besides be

less condition. Other towns
are sending in donations to the
suffering. Conyers should do
her part.
