He Flies the Track,
It was not and is not our in¬
tention to engage in a discus
eicn of the financial question, at
this time with the Banner. In
fact, we are at a loss to under¬
stand just what provoked the
editor of that paper in the latest
edition of the same to courieri
us with his article upon the fi¬
nancial question under the cap
tion of “A Pointer.” Since the
late election we have not ex
pressed our faith iu any manner
whatever upon the subject, and
if we had, without personally
directing it to the Banner,-it
would not have behooved the
editor of that paper to refer to it
That which led up to the article
in question was not a financial
argument and bore no relation
to one. It was purely a point
as to party loyalty. On this
line the Banner is painfully
mute and ’tis well that it is. Of
all the charges that may be
brought against us, it canno be
said we are a bolter.
Had the Chicago convention
declared for the single gold stand
avd we would have remained
loyal to the party just as we did
under its declaration for the res¬
toration of silver. The editor of
the Banner, claiming to be a
party Democrat, did not support
the party platform and nomi¬
nees and rejoices today, as the
people of this county will test*,
fy, in the Republican victory
Should we follow the precedent
laid down by him it would now
be our turn at bolting, and it
would be pardonable (?) for us
to jump the party because our
financial views were not endors¬
ed in the presidential election.
"We are not and have never been
an independent, and however
much we may some times differ
in opinion with party principles
and policies, we may confident¬
ly assert that wo will ever be
loyal to the organization, be¬
cause we believe it to be abso
lately essential to the preserva
tion of our country and good
government. We beg our read-'
ers to excuse us for this, anoth
er little indulgence of our neigh¬
bor’s whims.
Hon. Thos, E. M atson’s letter
of acceptance has just been giv¬
en to the public within the
few days. It is the wail of hope¬
lessness and hitter disappoint¬
ment. In it Mr. Watson refers
to the fact that he has spent
eight of the best years of his
iu reform work and has lost
much. He also takes occasion
to score Senator Butler for
attitude upon the question of fu
slon. The letter comes at a late
date, but it makes interesting
reading. The Weekly is satis¬
fied that Mr. M at son was
fairly dealt with by, his party
leaders.

At 12:30 p, m. Saturday the
democrats of the county vril'
■orue together at the court house
- or the purpose of selecting two
lelegates to the convention,
rhich meets in Atlanta on the
!8tli of the present month, to
uominate candidates for judges
if the Supreme court. It is to
be hoped that the meeting will
prove a representative one and
•hat good men be named as del¬
egates. The following gentle¬
men, who have been mentioned,
are well equipped for the duty
devolving upon the delegates to
be;—
Judge A. C. McCalla, Col. J.
N. Halo, Judge G. W. Gleafcon
and Hon. A. J. Smith.
As We Go to Press
The only changes to be noted
in the senatorial deadlock are
the withdrawal from the race of
Hon. HalT. Lewis and the prob¬
able retirement of Gov. Atkin¬
son.
The withdrawal of Mr. Lewis
has so far failed to relieve the
situation and there is no pros¬
pect of the election of any man
under the present surroundings.
It is rumored that Gov. Atkin¬
son will retire from the race to¬
day, Friday, and if the report
proves' true it may be that Hon.
Steve Clay, of Cobb, will be the
lucky man to get the plum.
The selection of this gentleman
would suit us and many of our
people would be glad for him to
succeed Gen. Gordon. It is im¬
possible, however, to write any¬
thing definite concerning the
matter, as other candidates may
enter the field if Atkinson comes
down

Obituary.
Almand. —Died at his residence
in Conyers on the morning of
the third of November, John I.
Almand, aged 38. The subject
of this sketch was born in Co¬
lumbia county, Ark., on the 6th
of April, 1858 His widowed
mother removed to her father’s
house while he was yet an in¬
fant, and he was brought in the
house and under the care of his
grandfather, the late Elder Isaac
Hamby When quite a young
man he was married to Miss
Maggie Baker with whom he
lived happily for a few years,
when she died, leaving with him
one little boy. In course of time
he was again married to Miss
Lovvie White, who, with three
small children, her stepson, his
loving mother, and many rela¬
tives and friends, survives to
mourn his loss. My precious
boy neve: made a public profes¬
sion of religion, but his grand¬
father, with whom he talked, his
mother and those who knew him
best feel sure he was a convert¬
ed man, and that he has gone
home to glory, He was patient,
kind and inoffensive in his de¬
portment to all, and tried to lead
a blameless life at home and
abroad. His friends and loved
ones do.not mourn as those with
out hope, but are patiently look¬
ing forward to the time when
they shall meet to part no more
shall dwell with him and all
God’s people in the light of eter
nity.
•'Soon we'shall meet again—
Meet ne’er to sever;
Soon will Peace wreathe her chain
Round us forever;
Our hearts will then repose
Secure from worldly woes;
Our songs of praise shall close
Nevar—no, never!”
His Mother.
Our people are anxious to
take a rest politically. They
have had a siege of politics and
everybody is tired out.
On every side comes reports
of renewed business activity,
we trust that it may prove per¬
manent.
