CONYERS WEEKLY.
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
J. B. REESE, Editor.
lion. W. L. Wilson takes the
place of Post Master General
Bissol, who has resigned.
The Atlanta Journal lias be
gun war again upon- Col. Liv¬
ingston. Oh ! my, this is an off
year. Let us have a rest!
Let the Constitution hold up
on Cleveland now and work
with a vim for the great Inter¬
national Exposition. The pa¬
pers and people will help you.
We thank the young gentle¬
men of the Banner for the kind
expression in this week’s issue.
We trust our relations will be
cordial and that there shall ex
ist only a commendable rivalry.
Col. Womack has been ap¬
pointed .as Chief Clerk in the
Interior department and Super¬
intendent of the patent office.
He receives the congratulations
of his friends throughout the
state.
Why should any one com¬
plain at Carlisle’s refusal to ac¬
cept the Stone Mountain granite
for the U. S. public building in
Kansas, when Georgia would
not build her own Capitol out of
her own granite right at her
own doors.
The spring term debaters of
Emory College have been se¬
lected and are now ready to
commence the debates. They
are from the Few society : W.
W. Driskell, I. L. Lee and
Cheatham. From the Phi Gam¬
ma : W. H. Gunn, R. J. Travis
and E. C. Clements.
We have received the speech
of Hon. T. G. Lawson, delivered
in the H. R. Jan. 11, ’95, upon
the Carlisle Bill. Col. Lawson
is one of the ablest members of
Congress, and especially so up¬
on subjects of finance. His dis¬
cussion of the subject iu hand is
strong—his arguement on the
State bank feature unanswera¬
ble. Wo return thauks for this
speech.
The last Congress passed a
law effectually killing out the
lottery business in this country.
We do not defend the lotteries,
but are inclined to suggest why
be so over righteous iu this
matter, and yet so outriigeous
ly wicked in allowing all sorts
of speculations in cotton, grain
and meat futures? If any dif¬
ference, in a moral sense, there
is more harm in the “futures”
than in the lotteries.
Lnst Monday at 12 m. the 53d
Congress expired. There seems
to be almost, a universal expres¬
sion that the Congress “died.”
We never heard before so many
alluding to the dead body. We
think while this national legis¬
lature, by virtue of its own
limitations has expired, its
name will never die. It has
made a record to be perpetuat¬
ed upon the pages of history as
to the subjects of tariff, finance
and appropriations.
The meeting iu Atlanta of
the eulogizers of Fred Douglas
went cousidei ably out of their
way to discuss equality ou rail
road coaches, and the inter¬
marriage of the white and col¬
ored of this country. The color¬
ed people are already provided
with comfortable cars to ride
on, and if they are determined
to intermarry with white peo¬
ple they must seek some climate
other than this. Such a state of
affairs will never exist in this
pure and chivalric Southern
Country.
The Sparta Isbmalite says
that the Atlanta Journal had
rather lie on Cleveland's paunch
in purgatory than to rest in
Abraham’s bosom in Paradise,
The Christian Advocate gives
the late Congress “hail Colum¬
bia” for doing nothing for three
sessions, then working all day
Sunday, violating the laws of
God, and setting an ungodly
example for the people whom
they represent.
Tne Christian Index this
week is double its usual hand¬
some size. This Exposition edi¬
tion is filled with interesting
notes of the great Fair, and lib¬
erally patronized by the busi¬
ness men of A tlauta. The In¬
dex is on a boom to the pleasure
of its many readers, and the
gratification of the proprietor.
We think Cleveland is one of
the. most abused statesmen now
in America. He has, beyond
question, made mistakes, but it
matters not what he does his
opposers magnify his every act
with some gigantic preconceiv¬
ed plan to injure the party and
oppress the people. We don’t
believe it. We are not suf¬
ficiently posted 011 the issues of
the day to give an opinion as to
what is best, but we can’t help
feeling like the good old moth¬
er in Isreal, who declared that
everything works for the best
and that the “good Lord is
gwiuo to manage this matter all
right.’'
The Sparta Isbmalite says the
people ought to rise up in the
majesty of their power and de¬
mand a silver party who would
carry out the wishes of the peo¬
ple, in making the free coinage
of silver for the relief of the
country. The Augusta Chronicle
and Macon Telegraph have
some sound arguements upon
this question, which is just now
of vital importance to the whole
country. Something ought to
be done, but, what policy is
best to pursue in order to se¬
cure the great desire of the
masses, we are not able to say.
Everything seems to be in a
muddle.
Hon. Tom Watson made a
good Democratic speech in Au¬
gusta last week, barring, how¬
ever, his idea that the Populist
party is the one to which we all
ought to go to secure relief for
the people. All parties are dis
atisfied and disintegrated so as
to be powerless to accomplish
much for the great American
citizenship ; we think, however,
that our safety is in the old
Democratic party, reformed and
remodelled after the fashion of
its purity and power where
“ thieves could not break
through ana steal.” Wo invite
Col. Watson and his fi iends back
in ranks to help make a grand
fight in ’90.
A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY
In the past week I have made
$125 and attended to my house¬
hold duties! I think I will do
better next week. It seems the
more Dish Washers I sell, the
more demand I have for them.
I think any lady or gentleman,
auvwhere, can make money in
this business. It is something
every family wants, and when
they can be bought so cheap,
they buy them, and the person
who has enterprise enough to
take an agency is bound to
make money. I wish any of
your readers that wish to make
from $5 to $12 a day, would try
this business and report their
success. Any one can get full
particulars by addressing the
Iron City Dish Washer Co., E.
E. Pittsburg, Pa Such a chance
is rare—at least I have never
struck one.

ADIEU.
By reason of impaired health
we, for a while, at least, sever
our connection with this paper.
We have sold the material,
name and good will to Col. J.
B. Reese, an experienced news¬
paper man, and bespeak for
him the same liberal patronage
and kind consideration shown
us, by the public.

if not the best, counties in the
state, and have cast our lot with

vironments as secure this as our
permanent home for quite a
while.
In leaving old Putnam we
leave behind our birth-place and
many recollections to be called
in at times in memories sweet,
which will serve as oases a
down the pathway of life. But
in leaving friends and local at¬
tachments there we feel that here
we are amidst Putnam’s neigh¬
bors and co-laborers, and we
know from the warm welcome
