Mr. Joseph Johnson went to Atlanta last Wednesday to look after freight which has been in the depot in chat city. The freights are very heavy along the lines now. Over 70 trains weie pulled out from Atlanta one day tnis week. The Industrial girls passed Conyers last Thursday on their way to the Exposition. The boys assembled at the depot to get a peep at them—but the train went flying by, and Urn boys got nothing more than a glimpse of the college beauties. However, they all saw the tram. Last Sabbath the Baptist Sun¬ day school raised thirty s.ven dollars with which to buy a li brary for the school. This is a good oeginning. It will not be long before the children will be supplied abundantly with lead j n ^ ma tter, from which they can make selections from week to week. YVhat is Christianity ? It is not long sermons, long prayers nor attendance upon divine wor¬ ship. It is not paying money into the church nor subscribing to foreign missionary work. It is visiting the fatherless and the widows; taking the fallen by the hand and lifting him up; speaking kiudly to the unfortu¬ nate and sad ; bestowing charity among the needy in your midst, and dwelling with your breth¬ ren iu unity. It is the life of the Soil lived again iu eacli in¬ dividual, If this is not Ch.isti anity, then where is there any record that there is any such thing oil earth ? SUPERIOR COURT.

J. h. i: Thursday night just after IU o’clock we heard an explosion and light flashed into our win¬ dow. The a ore of M r. G. L Ken noil was ablaze and soon i he res¬ idence in which Hr. F< r 11 Lv ?d was on fire. These being wood¬ en structures the fire made rap¬ id headway. Soon many of til citizens were on the ground and went heroically to work, stop ping the progress of the flames by pulling away one side of the Farnll house and by the use of water on the roofs of the houses within reach. The store house and residence were soon destroy¬ ed. We understand that the loss to M is. Harper, who owned the buildings, is six or seven hundred dollars, and that Mr. Kennon’s stock of goods, which was entirely destroyed, was vaL ued at about eight hundred dol There vvai no insurance on any of the propei ty destroyed. Mr. Farnll and family, who occupied the dwelling, saved all the furniture, clothing, etc., ex¬ cept about twenty dollars’worth, including the stove, which was so injured as to be of no service. The fire was unfortunate for the sufferers, yet it was exceed¬ ing fortunate that the flames were checked so early as not to take in the stables and other buildings adjacent. A good hook and ladder com¬ pany would cost the city but a small amount, yet would be of much service on occasions like that Thursday night Having lost my entire stock of goods by the fire Thursday night, any contributions from my friends will be greatly ap predated. I have been in Con¬ yers 13 years, and have always responded cheerfully to calls for aid. G. L. KCNN’ox. SUMMERS & HUDSON. mSSHk WMmmm mm m mm mT J&m %tgSr »’“mT - j MORE THAN PRETTY.

They are more than pretty—dainty and sensible novelties that bine style, wear and satisfaction, After all, what more does any woman want in Dress than style, wear, satisfaction? SUMMERS & GRin DEATH’S CLAIMS. The Monster Leaves Three Homes Desolate. We deeply sympathize with vir. and Mrs. M. R.

We were once so afflicted and can advise that nothing but submission and time will heal the lacerated hearts. The obituary of Mr. T. W. Den uard will appear next week. Mr. Duncan, a citizen of Le Kalb county, died last Tuesday at the residence of Mr. Wilburn Mitchel of thisjeounty. He leaves a wife, four children any many friends to mourn his death.
