There was a large number of
relatives and friends in attend
ance. It is hard for the parents
to give up this little one, who
with the helpless look of bloom¬
ing infancy—“a being scarcely
formed or moulded, with all its
sweetestleaves unfolded,’’should
thus be tom away; yet it is
right to submit to the will of a
kind Providence. It is doubtless
a blessing in disguise; another
link made in the chain which
draws the loved ones left.behind
nearer the heavenly home. We
sympathize with the bereaved
parents.

NO BUSINESS
WILL BE TRANSACTED IN CONYERS
KBIT THURSDAY.
The Business Houses of the
Town Will Be Closed
Thanksgiving Day--The
Farmers are Asked to
Remember This.
Next Thursday, the 23th of
November, is the day set up n t
by President Cleveland as a
thanksgiving Daw, and it will
be observed in Conyers.. The
business houses a n d public
schools wfii be closed
Learning that it was not a
regular custom among the Con¬
yers merchants to close their
stores on Thanksgiving Day—
that only a few were in the hab¬
it of closing, a Weekly reporter
circulated the following . agree¬
ment for signature amoug the
busiuess men, so that all may
close and each spend the day as
he chooses, and thatfnone may
lose a cent by so doing We
don’t believe there is a single
merchant in Conyers who will
open his store if the others are
closed.
A majority of the merchants
aud clerks will visit the exposi¬
tion, for Thanksgiving will be a
great day there. It will be At¬
lanta, Inman, Savannah aud
South Carolina day. Among
the many thousands of things to
be seen will be the grand display
of fire works at night. $3,000
will be expended upon this final
display of the season.
Our country friends can come
in on Wednesday, transact their
bush e s a id prepare for the e i
joyment of Thanksgiving Day.
The bank wili be closed, and
the post office will be open only
one hour after the arrival of
each mail.
Following is the list:
