F Rue Buc hanan preached at Lithonia for Dr. Ragsdale, vho was a sent. We hear the sermon was a good one. There is a mutual benefit to the reader of a newspaper and men who use its columns for ad vertisiug. It gives one bargains, aiu ] the other trade, Last Wednesday morning the switch engine ran into the rear of the accommodation train be¬ tween here and Covington. Very little damage was done. The large number of persons who went to Washington from this place have all returned. They had a most pleasant time, and now feel happier for the go¬ ing. Read Dr. AV. H. Lee’s adver¬ tisement in this issue. His store contains everything to be found in a first class drug store, and customers receive prompt and polite attention. T. E.

A negro woman near Lithonia dropped dead W ednesday. Thinking she had been foully dealt with a coroner’s inquest was held, and the verdict was she died from:hemorrhage of the lungs. The cold wave which set in last Saturday night continued seve¬ ral days. Snow and ice came unexpectedly in the north. No damage done in this section, though the atmosphere was very chilly. Rev. J. J. Irvine, of the Chris¬ tian church, delivered a lecture on his travels in the old world to the school Thursday. The lec¬ ture was a good one, and was greatly enjoyed by all who were so fortunate as to hear it. Beautiful “Ermyntrude” re¬ quests us to say that the O. G. L. society will meet at the home of AV. F.

The Confederate Veteran is a monthly published in Nashville, Tenn., in the interest of the old veterans, giving each month in cideuts of interest of the late war, besides other interesting topics.

Livingston will leave in few days for Venezuela, lie will spend a month. He will likely take Mr. Scruggs, of At lant, with him. Mr. Scruggs was once minister to that coun¬ try, and will be a valuable help to Col. Livingston in understand ing the South American citizens. Mr. Johnson, who has return¬ ed from Washington, has much to say about what ho saw on the trip. He got a glimpse of the President as he was shaking hands with the immense crowd that called to see him. He says Mr. Cleveland is smartly sprin¬ kled with gray which did not appear when he visited Atlanta some years ago. l ( AVhat do you most desire?” is a question asked in the long ago and the response was, “More light.” So it is now ; the people of Conyers need more light these dark nights,that they may better make their way to church and back. It would be economy to have more lamps along the streets leading to the churches. Drummers who stop at the Commercial report that there is a better feeling in the business world. Their sales are greater, and at better prices. This argues that better prices for goods will bring more money and more prosperity. . If everything can get on a boom by fall the discus¬ sion on the money question will cease. George Lyon, Esq.,died sud¬ denly at his home in DeKalb county near the line of Rockdale on last AVedncsday.

Penn, was happily mar¬ ried to Mr. Charlie Mitchell, of Atlanta, last Sunday evening. The wedding took place in At¬ lanta, where Miss Penn has been engaged in business for some time past.
