Melton, r«‘s pcctivelv, heading them. Othei gentlemen have been im-ntionee for mayor ns follows: I). N. Him eon, A. J. Pierce, C. M- Tayloi C. E. Reagan, H. V. Hardwick W. V. Alma ml, Jim. R. Maddox »nd others. A call for a mass meeting tit th‘-courthouse next Monday nigh, for the purpose ot nominating t ticket, lias been published, Tim meeting, it is expected, will be largely attended. There are thost vrho are opposed to the mass meet¬ ing and favor turning all candi¬ dates loose and let thorn run i “rough and tumble race, hut it seems that a majority prefer a regular nomination. As the matter now stands it Jt very chaotic and the mass meet jng will be required to take tin kinks out of the problem, Then j* no way of summing up (he sen line nt of, the voters villi ai surety as they are awaiting fn. thw developments.

The Weekly has no interest the race further than the natm. desire that a. good, capable, prr gressivc man be honored wit ii 1 1 position, and it believes tin* p, pie can be depended upon to lect sucli a man for the first pin., and give him a cabinet tluit wit stand by him and push our tout t<« the front next year.. The Weekly desires to imprest upon the minds oi its readers tit. fact that much importance is at¬ tached to this election mid that i, should be realized in advance. To be mayor of Conyers is to b, charged with heavy responsibility.
