The little babe of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Almand was buried last Sunday morning, the funeral services being conducted from the residence by Dr. Ragsdale. 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.

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.
