It is a little unusual but since the Hale storm in Atlanta Li thoniahasbeen without a bank. Cleveland is now a private citizen, and if he is as proud to be relieved of the duties of the presidency of this great nation as some people are that he has' been relieved, then he is the happiest mortal in all vhis broad land. The Atlanta ministers seem to have discarded the Bible for the time being and take for a text, upon which they discourse with much feeling, Alanta society. Their sermons recently have been almost as sensational as the Looking Glass. it is now President McKinly, and the country should be at rest. “Restored confidence” is tbe next thing on the list and it should not be long delayed. McKinley’s inaugural address was by no means a bad one when we consider his high pro¬ tective republican views. It is acknowledged that he is a good man and we have no rea¬ son to suspect that he will not make a good president, Otis Smith, the Atlanta em¬ bezzler, was a “lucky dog.” His friends bought him out of jail and he left for parts un¬ known. Two or three days la¬ ter the grand jury returned a true bill against him. It is said that young Smith has gone to Africa. Congress will meet in extra session on the 16th of this month. Presidebt McKinley evidently wants assistance in the management of the nations affairs. He is not thinking of it, perhaps, but he is throwing trump cards to the Washing¬ ton hash houses. In Forsyth county last week a man died and two of his neighbors volunteered to sit up with the coipse. Duiing the night both were taken sick and died within twenty-four hours. AU three were buried from the same house. —Ex. Now that he is on his own time and iu the possession of a comfortable amount of ready cash, it is to be supposed that ex-president Cleveland will in¬ dulge his hanker)ug for duck Bhooting to his entire satisfac¬ tion. Editor Estill, of the Savan¬ nah Morning News, got married the other day. The next on the list should be Glesener, of the Griffin News, and Morrow, of the Jonesboro Enterprise. The inaugural ball is sa ; d to have oeeu a wonderfully bril liant affair—all of them are that. It is now Senator Steve Clay. Electric Lights A few remarks on the subject of electric lights for Conyers will be appropriate just at this time. It, is conceded that the town needs them and we sup¬ pose there is not a man within the city limits but that under¬ stands we have a splendid op¬ portunity to secure them, The time for action is here and the opportunity now at hand may not come to us again. The city council is now con¬ sidering a proposition from a private company to light the city, and it is highly propable that the proposition will be ac¬ cepted. This proposition is made with the proviso that a certain number of incandescent lights are to be sold to private citizens. It will be seen, there¬ fore, lhat the question is virtu¬ ally left with the peoplo at last. We are glad to be able to an¬ nounce that many have exhib¬ ited their enterprising spirit and subscribed for lights ea¬ gerly. They realize that it will be the best thing Conyers ever invested in and they are anx¬ ious for the lights to be secur¬ ed. This is highly commendable. There are other citizens, ful¬ ly as important, who are not so enthusiastic. They do not oppose the lights but are not, at this time, giving their sup¬ port and encouragement to the enterprise. This is deplored. The Weekly is for anything that will benefit Conyers. We believe that electric lights will benefit the town and prove of great convenience to all the people of the town. The Week¬ ly has subscribed for lights and will do ail in its power to aid and encourage the enterprise. We believe that it is the pa¬ triotic duty of every man iu town to aid in rescuing our city from darkness. Tho Mayor and Council will do their part in this work of deliverance, and it only re¬ mains for each individual to do his duty to the town. It may be of interest to some to know that within the past few days Barnesville has turn¬ ed on the current and is now in the full enjoyment of the brilliant light. We admit that we are envious, and that until Corijers takes this advanced step we will feel no relief. We desire in conclusion to urge upon the entire town that our only chance is now before us snd should we let it slip by we can only hope to continue indefinitely in darkness. final’s Formula Blood & Bone, High Grade See J.
