We have talked with many of our citizens during the week and not one of them has spok¬ en against the new proposition while nearly every one of them are enthusiastic advocates of electric lights. It is universally conceded that such lights would be a great leap forward in the march of progress and a convenience that our people would not think of parting with when once they have enjoyed it. VVe learn that Mr- a. N. Plunket is in¬ vestigating the costs attached to the establishment of a plant, and that he may be able to re¬ port, to the next meeting of the council, upon the matter. Conyers is not. a cross roads town but a full grown country city amply able to tote with any of her conntry sisters in the mater of progress and pros¬ perity provided our people will determine to enter the race On the other hand we can throttle public spiritedness and stand where we are for years without a particle of advance¬ ment- Conyers w r as just fif¬ teen years longer securing a de¬ pot than she ought to havo been and we hope that no such delay will be experienced in the mat¬ ter of electric lights. This is a project that will count much for ua if we secure it right away Delay in doing the needful is never profitable and we insist that speedy ac¬ tion obtain‘in this matter at all hazzards. Let us be up and doing, not only for ourselves but for the town and for all tbe people. Iatkii.— Since writing the a bove a Mr, Robertson, of Atlan¬ ta, came down and went before the mayor and council and made an explanatory talk con¬ cerning the cost, workings and maintenance of an electric plant suitable for our town. This gentleman estimates such a plant at about four thousand dollars. Just what the next move in this important matter will be we are unable to say, but it is to be earnestly hoped that the ac¬ tion will not be long delayed or uneeitain. Conyers is to be envied no little, B -aides being a charmingand thrifty little city, it has a class of citizens wh" a e as pa'riotic a3 they are progressive. No remarkable ad' vancemt-nt of other lowne, notiven the scooping of such a prize as the Coviogt >a federal building, causes the Conyers people to lo^e a scin¬ tilla of the love and pride they cherish for their town. Wallace Reed, the accomplished water who is helping to make the E/ecing Cons'i’.ution so aitracti-e, is a res ident of Conyers, and one of his re cent articles discloses the fact he, too, L inclined to indulge in panegyrics about his town. With such people, tbuyers gill h ive easy growth.— Jonesboro Enterprise. Accept our thanks, Gus, and our invitation io you to run over ns.

Be careful how you eat—merchants are getting powerful particular about selling on time. Hon. A. O. Blalock. M. Editor: The many friends of “Bud” Blalock, the brilliant young statesman from the county of Fayette, have watched with pride his course in the lower house. VVe have known him for year?, and knowing him as we do, can the more fully appreciate his manly fight for re¬ trenchment and reform in our State government. We know that his efforts are sincere and honest—no grand-stand play for notoriety and place; And while he is anxious for an economical, clean, hon¬ est administration of affairs, he is not of mean, little or stingy kind. He is liberal when it is best to be liberal—he is careful when it is best to be careful and would use the money of the State rs he would his own. He is a man of broad mind; of splen¬ did judge-MENT and backbone enough to stand by his convictions of right no matter what the opposition. If tbe next Governor of Georgia is to betaken from our young men there is no one who would fill the place better for the hard woiked tax-Iurdened peo pie ffbe time has come when ihe services of such men as A, O. Blalock are need¬ ed at the helm of State. J. N. H. TO CONTRACTORS. Georgia, Rockdale County.

REVERY. The voice ol the people is the voice of truth, and the best way to judge a store is by the way it keeps its promises to the people. We have not climbed into the lap of success by the help of sensationalism. Our ascendency has been steady 7 , consistent, natural. Stores don’t grow big by accident, We said seven years ago “ we will pass the old timer in ten years and have the best store in the country.” We did it in seven, The big store has only Summers' record to beat, We must now make this store the best in the State.—Summers.
