We are thankful for sucli expres sions ; they give us encourage¬ ment. Air. Hudson and lady, who have been spending several days in the great city of Now A ork, returned last Saturday night.

We do not say it with any spir¬ it of boasting, but by compari¬ son with other weeklies we that our paper has about double of editorial, local and personal paragraphs. Wo ask our read¬ ers to note the original matter and news items, and see if they can do any better anywhere in this section than to give us their hearty support and co-operation. We do not ask something for nothing. We give you a paper well worth the subscription price, $1 a year. We ask the subscribers who are in arrears ‘ to come in and pay up as soon as possible. The town was unusually quiet the first of this week. The boys made their trips to and from the trains in a mechanical kind of way; the conversation of the weary ones was strangely sub¬ dued ; ‘ ‘ Bouquet’ ’ Posey gazed pensively into space and ever and anon sad shadows of smiles would flit across his handsome face; Alonza White gazed dream ily skyward and through his half parted lips in low and quiv¬ ering accents floated the words, t < Ere-long, ere-long we’ll see him;” for the first time in many days Henry Reagan laughed soft ly, so that people who do not live right up in town heard him not, and Thompson Stewart heaved a sigh of relief, in har mony witli the mournful sizz of the soda fountain. However, we can now report a more cheer¬ ful state of affairs—Tick Farrill has returned home after visiting Madison for a few days. A NEWSY BATCH GATHERED BY A FAIR REPORTER. The little tots think Aliss Hol¬ der a very lovable lady, and we think so too. Visitors, money and news are three of the scarcest things in Conyers at this time . Dr. Quillian has been assist¬ ing Prof. Bradley in a protract¬ ed meeting at Union this week. Alessrs. Rob and Charlie Gai ley went to the Uate City 1 ues— day on business(?j we suppose. Messrs. Frank Mann and John Tilley are at Emory college. We fear these young men will im¬ pair their healt h b y hard study. Airs. H. C. Driskell, the esti¬ mable mother of Airs. Dr. Posey, who was stricken with paralysis some time ago is slowly improv mg. Miss Ruth Alruaud has resum¬ ed her studies at the Roanoke, Va., college Her friends here regret very much to have her leave and their kindest wishes follow her. Misses Ola Fuller, Lottie Phil¬ lips, and Bessie Almand have gone to attend the Georgia Nor¬ mal and Industrial college at Alilledgeville. The best wishes of many friends for a profitable term go with them. The many friends of Air. Al den Thompson will regret to hear that after Oct. 1 he will give up liis position at the post office, for awhile at least, on ac¬ count of poor health. Master Barton Hull came near being seriously hurt by falling on the track in front of the pas¬ senger train Tuesday afternoon. The fall itself came near sever¬ ing the main leader in his knee. Editor Hawkins, of the Cov ington Enterprise, in a < < Short Visit to Conyers" says these nice things about our town and county : < ( We spent several hours very pleasantly with friends in Con¬ yers Thursday. As usual w r e met with a generous welcome from such social gentlemen as Alessrs. Hale, O’Kelley, Reese, AlcCalla, Lee, Hudson, Irwin, Melton, Glenn, Tilley, Still, Downs, Everett, Stewart and many others. These good peo¬ ple report that everything is get¬ ting along nicely in their town and county. Fair crops are re¬ ported from every district. The boys discuss free silver,baseball, pointer dogs, Jersey cows and other important issues and mat¬ ters just as they do here in Cov¬ ington ; therefore, we always feel at home the moment our feet touch Rockdale soil. Besides gallant men, there are a number of cultured and beautiful ladies all over the county. With her agricultural,manufacturing and granite and other industries it is only a question of time about Rockdale being one of the wealthiest counties, uf its size, in all Georgia, as it is already of the healthiest. 11 one NOTICE.

'dstir 1 1 BI B mmm Jo A mmm IM P»j ; -a A a Lti REGULATOR wm i Are you taking Simmons Liver Reg¬ ulator, the “King of Liver Medi¬ cines?” That is what our readers want, and nothing but that. It is the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis¬ appointed. But another good recom¬ mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak¬ ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that* relief comes quick and sure, and one feels new all over. It never fails. Everybody needs take a liver remedy, and everyone should take only Sim¬ mons Liver Regulator. Be sure you get it. Tlie ltcd /< is on the wrapper. J. H. Zeiliti & Co., Philadelphia. OUR COUNTY OFFICERS. The county officers of Rock¬ dale are are a set of clever gen¬ tlemen who are attentive to bus¬ iness. Capt. Htison, the polite clerk of the court is always to be found at his office, readv to attend to any business which comes to hand. Judge Helms, the ordinary who lias just been inducted into office,fits the place and the place fits him. Ho will look into all county matters and have everything done in order and according to law. He has made a most creditable begin¬ ning. Air. Hudson, the receiver of tax returns, is faithful to duty and is always ready to give en¬ quirers any information about the status of returnee in the county. He keeps his hooks neat and “jam up,” so much so that the comptroller general complimented him as the one who had sent in i.he most com¬ plete and neatest returns. Air. Cook, the genial tax collector, is competent and faithful, lie dis¬ charged the duty of registration, which was by law in nis hands, 1 0 the satisfaction of all, and will soon be at his desk ready to receive the taxes ot ’115. Dr. Whitaker, the treasurer,is a gen¬ tleman and trusty officer, who is ready always to pay the de¬ mands on the county when the proper endorsement or warrant is produced Air. Farrill, the coroner, is prompt to investigate all mysterious deaths that occur in the county. Sheriff Austin is a polite and efficient court of¬ ficer and a diligent, pushing and vigilant sheriff, quietiy finding offenders of the law and bring¬ ing them into the reach of the court, and giving them lodging and free hoard until Judge Clark invites an investiga tion at the bar of justice. Altogether Rockdale has a corps of officers who i effect cred¬ it upon the citizenship of the county. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria*
