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*.

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 L^m e< ii ; enr5f 1; Ay V 4 f IT the" NAv U. Orleans cotton exchange $1,000 in cash from The Weekly Constitution enab’ing him to buy (he farm which he was (hen renting and pay himself out of debt' 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 above sentence. Fits Si rrtf. douTtreated TT.S. w. Journal h.
