The New Year.
The Wekk'a' heartily con¬
gratulates the., people of Con¬
yers and' Rockdale upon their
general piosperity and liberal
enterprise during 1896, and
confidently expresses the belief
that still greater progress awaits
them in this, the new year.
The Weekly has enjoyed
some degree of prosperity along
with the people and is hopeful
to-day of the future. It sees
nothing to create discourage¬
ment and much to inspire with
confidence.
It will strive to do all the
■good it can iu all the ways it
can to all the people it can dur¬
ing 1897, aud only ask at the
bands of the people the cordial
support accorded it in the past.
The evening Constitution is
to be a new evening paper in
A tlanta. If the Evening Con¬
stitution is to approach in point
of Journalistic excellence, the
morning Constitution, its suc¬
cess is already assured.
Mr.E, S. Steadman, Post¬
master at Lithonia and form¬
erly editor of the ^ '^’ le Decatifr*
*?zti. ‘ Col. , Steadman is an ex¬
perienced paper man and will
keep the'Eva iu the front rank.
The newspaper are saying
good many complimentary
tilings about Wallace P, Reed's
sketches in thg Chicago Times
e v;; Herald aud the Atlanta Journal
The Savanah Press says:
, Mr 1 Wallace P. Reek is writ¬
ing some excellent sketches for
■the Atlanta Journal. Henry
Grady said of Mr. Reed that he
considered him the best desk
man for a newspaper with
whom he had ever been thrown
in contact. ) 1
The government officials and
the filibustering boats have
been playing an interesting
uluff game for the past few
months.
A negro rapist and wholesale
murderer, Simon Cooper, of
South Carolina, was shot down
by a sheriff’s posse Thursday.
He was the most desperate
character the state ever pro¬
duced.
,Tis said Gomez has hoisted
the black ilag and that he will
show no quarter to Spaniards
from this time on. He has been
long suffering and not until the
cowardly assassination of Ma
ceo,did he. yield to his desire
for revenge.
Edward Flanagan, the De
Kalb county double murderer,
is unquestionably the most con
suruate villain the country ever
knew. Jle is now in Fulton
.county jail making ready to
yplay the.cjazv dodge*.

The Hissing Word.
A NEW CHANCE FOKOURStJBSCniBSHS TO
MAKE MONEY.
We call the a'tention of our read
er« to the interesting details of our
clubbing proposition with The At
lanta Weekly Constitution, publish¬
ed in full elsewhere. As will be
setn, the joi«V price of our paper
and The Weekly Constitution for
one year is but Si,25. Every sub¬
scriber wil not only get the two pa¬
pers for little more than the price
of on'*, but will in addition, have a
chance to participate without cost
in the “Missing Word Contest, ’ the
premiums for whic i are offered by
both papers. Every subscriber i
en'itled to guess at the missiDg
word in the following sentence
“SUPPLY AND DEMAND ARE
AS INTIMATELY “...........”
AS CAUSE AND EFFECT.”
and the one who supplies (he correct
word will be entitled to 10 per cent
of the amount received from sub
scriptions not only from The Con
stilution, but ail of the papers par¬
ticipating in this clubbing offer with
The Constitution between now and
the 1st of March- The Constitution
guarantees that at least five hu i
died dollars in cash will be distribu¬
ted, and probably the amount w ll
be between §1,000 and $2.0(10. If
moie than one person supplies cor¬
rectly the missing word, the cash
amount will bedistrlbuted among the
successful guessevs
A few months ago The Weekly
Oonstitutisn offered $1;000 in cash
to the subscriber gmsing the size
of the j ear's cotton crop as anounced
by the New Orleans exchange. The
successful guesser was Mr. R. T
Poole, of Rockingham. N. C., who

Every intelligent person should
subscribe to his home paper and
should take at least one goneral
newspaper which covers tue news
of iLe world. This the Cons itutmu
does better iban any southern week¬
ly newspaper, and the fact that it
has now the largest circ datio i of
any weekly newspaper published on
the western hemisphere attests <o
its popularity. It publishes 156,
000 copies every week and goes into
mote homes in ibe southern and
wesiera states thau any week y
newspaper published in America.
You want your Lome paper; and
when you can get it in connection
wi’li 'he Weekly Constitution for al
most, tae p ice of one and in addi¬
tion become a participant in the
great missing word contest, an
nounced elsewhere, you should take
prompt advantage of the combina¬
tion. Remi, (be combina’ion price
to us and send your guess of the
missing word aloDg with it, and we
will forward your name to The Con¬
stitution, and your guess will be du¬
ly recorded If vou are a’ready a
subscriber to our paper and want
The weekly Constitution forward us
one dollar with your gue-s of the
missing word and we will see ibat
it is sent to the Constitution.
The p oposiUoa is an a ractive
one, and it is to be hope ! tha'
.
■ome readers of this paper will sup
ply the correct missing word in the

Happy Christmas At The
Poor Farm
From all accounts the Christ¬
mas dinner given the inmates
at the poor farm by Ordinary
A. M.Helms and Superintendent
W. A. Alinand and wife, was
the greatest success of any of
the Christmas events yet re¬
counted to us. It was a turkey
dinner with all the usual
issues and appetizing adjuncts.
The inmates were invited in¬
to Mrs. Almand's dining
where they were seated
waited upon by the
dent and his good lady so
tively that some of them
happy and shouted.
They were feasted
and manifested much
gratitude.
