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.

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.

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 .
