'X'he Mayoralty.
Since our last issue speculation
as to who the next mayor will hi
has been rite and the question )*
still a mooted one. Two ticketi
lie ve been offered with M. H.
Plunket and M. H. 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 mass meeting Monday nigi
will disclose the situation tui».
and will most likely be a live),
affair—they usually are.
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.
The advancement or growth of i
city or town depends largely upon
the city officials and t herd ore tin
]y*ople should place in those post
turns only men of known ability.

| 'uncle Sunt’ wits taken without
'a moments warning.
He was complaining slightly on
Saturday morning upon arising,
but bis family gave it no serious
thought, as it was not unusual.
Within tile moment he was dead.
‘Uncle Sinn’ Was a good man-.
He was kind and gentle to every
one, and to his immediate family
he was profoundly devoted.
His wats a brave but harmless
life and he would serve his fellow
man at a sacrifice to himself.
He was a ImiVe confederate sol¬
dier and his focord in the war is
fresh in the minds of his comrades
and will live oil.
The people who knew best here
speak only words of praise con¬
cerning him and they mourn his
death with the sorrowing family.
The remains were interred in
Eastview cemetery last Sunday.
The Weekly extends sympathy
to the bereaved family.

Of certain cure for the loathsome'sore
That bubbled up from the tainted tfde
Of the Mood below. And ’twas Ayer’sname
And his sarsaparilla, that all now, know.
That was just beginning its fight of fame
With its cures of 50 years ago.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is the original sarsaparilla. It
has behind it a record for cures
unequalled by any blood puri¬

sarsaparilla honored by a

1893. Others imitate the
remedy; they can’t imitate the
