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. Martha F, B. 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.

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 hearty hand shake extended us and ours by the citizens of that the same Christian the same intelligence characterizes Ea 0 iton ai.d are no less manifest a the people of Conyers and We are here with full pur¬ of heart to share your joys, divide your sorrows and to bear your- burdens.
