On the first page of today’s pa¬
per we print what the Lawrence
ville News said about the games
of ball between Lawrencevillc
and Conyers. After we printed
the outside we saw the following
notice in the Gwinnett Herald*
the other Lawreuceviile paper :
‘•On last Wednesday bright and early
the li-iseballists left for Coiiyer-, \x here
they hail au engagement, to pi a v two
gann Thurshat s, one W'edutsrlay evening the nih
pl or evenin'?. The games were
iye . an I resulted in a complete vic¬
tory for Conyers in both gano's. BolL
games former we editor e umpiieu hvCol. J. N. Hale,
of the Conyers Weekly.
" 'ule Conyers beat Lawrenceville pret
ty badly in both games, onr boys were
elegantly entertained by them while in
rl etr city, both bv the citizens and play
“VS. The boys are unanimous in their
words of praise tor our sister city which
extended to them the utmost courtesy.
Conyers week will come and up the in boys the course of
a or so will give
them another tussei.”
We thank the Herald for the
pleasant things said about our
town and people. The gentle¬
manly manner in which the
Lawrenceville boys conducted
themselves while here will ever
insure them a hearty welcome to
our city.
Conyers and Covington have
crossed bats four times thisyear,
two of the games were played in
Covington; two in Conyers.
The last game played between
the two teams was played in Cov
iugton and resulted in victory
for Conyers ; one of the games
here was won by the home boys.
Thus it will be seen that the two
teams have scored an equal num¬
ber of victories. Now Coving¬
ton wants Conyers to lend her
half of our team to play the oth¬
er half. The refusal of the Con¬
yers boys to do this probably in¬
spired the following work of fic¬
tion :
‘'Now that Conyers has defeated our.
boys in die game of ball it seeing iill
oossihle to arrange other gam-s with
their cldfo. Having Suflere i Something
like eleven defeats at the hands of the

wh-i'Se places were tilled with boy to

signed them, tbc Conyers club desires
10 rest upon its laurels and boast a vie
tory won. Although issuing a cbal
lenge to any amateur team in the State
they have positively refused to meet
(Joviugtotl on the diamond, knowing
by past experience what they can ex¬
pect to receive. Onr team is only too
anxious to meet the delegation from
Com ers once more, and administer the
most severe drubbing they have yet re¬
ceived at <ur hands. Come, Conyers;
give us a chance.”
Conyers scored another victory
yesterday. The Jonesboro hoys
were the tinlucy team this time.
The score was 14 to 5. The
same team will try Die boys an¬
other round today.
A delightful party composed
of a nuuioer of Conyers’ society
loviug people indulged in a moon
light picnic at the paper mills,
near the residence of Capt. Bar
ber’s residence Tuesday night.
Mrg. Barber greatly enhanced
the pleasure of all present by
her elegant entertainment, and
for any of the party to speak of
the affair is to speak words ot
praise for Mrs. Barber.
The straw ride back to town
was a feature of the evening,
and was enjoyed immensely.

ASAD ANDTRAGIC DEATH.
About 9 o’clock Wednesday
night last Jonas C. Cain shot and
killed. The sad event is unac¬
counted for. The young man
was of good character, and was
clerking in the store of his broth
ers, G. W. and A. P. Cain. He
attended the Sunday school cel¬
ebration at Decatur Wednesday
and returned at night, It is
said that ho was cheerful just be¬
fore ho went to his room to re
tire, soon after which a report of
the pistol was heard, and going
to his room the family were
greatly shocked to see the young
man lying upon the floor a
corpse* He did not carry the
• tol with hin , duriag the day .
His sister finding it upon the
mantel-piece in the morning,and
tearing that some of the young
er children might get hold of it
during the day, placed it under
the pillow oil the bed. It is
thought by some that after un¬
and the pil¬
low he picked np the weapon to
place it away, and just at that
time he, being sick already, be¬
gan to vomit and rail to the win¬
dow, and in the agitation for¬
got for the time the pistol, and
it was accidentally discharged,
the ball entering just under the
nipple and penetrating , the
heart . In view of his life and

that it was done purposely the
coroner’s jury with R. W. Tuck
or, foreman, rendered the fol¬
lowing verdict: “ We, the jury
sworn to investigate the cause of
the death of Jonas (Jain, now ly¬
ing before us, find that that the
decased came to his death by a
pistol thot from his own
hands, and we are uncertain as
to whether it was accidental or
with suicidal intention.”
Mr. Gain’s death is a shock
to our town. The remains were
taken to Lilburn, Gwinnett coun
ty for burial. The Weekly ex¬
tends sympathy to the beroaved.
CAMP MEETING.
Salem camp meeting will be¬
gin on Friday night, the 9th of

daily conflicts with sin and satan^
Others need to be quickened,and
born into Divino life. May this
not be the time for such gracious
blessings? For this let us pray
