The singing at the Baptist church last Sunday has been most liberally complimented by many who enjoyed it. D. M.

Mr. Frank Bryan who has been stopping at an infirmary in Atlan ta for several weeks, came to Con vers Thursday and went out to his home in the country Friday. Ii is hoped by his many friends that his condition' has been improved by his stay at the sanitarium. Mr. Andrew J. Smith had the mis¬ fortune to lose his barn and its con¬ tents by fire last Wednesday morn¬ ing about five o’clock. About five thousand bundles of fodder, several hundred bushels of corn, peas 1 oats: etc,were consumed. We understand that Mr. Smith carried insurance or this property to the amount of $200. .10. This was probably the work of an incendiary, and suspiefan, we are told, points to a colored man in the community. Mr. J. Walker Almand has been peddling on various produce in Atlanta for several months past, and barring a little inconvenience to his business during the small¬ pox epidemic he had no trouble until this week. He carried a load to Atlanta and sold it out a few days ago, and when lie return¬ ed to the wagon yard his horse was missing. At last accounts the animal had not been found. Elder William Wood, D. V., will go for a trip to England, leaving New York by tiie Steamer Luconia on February 12th, This trip will lie of about three months duration. As is well known Elder Wood has been in bad health for the pastyearand his physician, Dr. <’. H. Turner, recom¬ mends this trip across the water. He will leave Conyers about the 9th or 10th of February, The Weekly' joins the many friends of Elder Wood in wishing for him a pleas¬ ant journey and safe return with the complete restoration of his health.

Conyers furnishes a number of as good traveling men as goes out from Atlanta. They are not only splendid salesmen but clever gen¬ tlemen as well, and their friends are legion. Mr. Tom Bryans, with the II. Y. McCord Co., wholesale grocers, by his straightforward dealing, lias secured a trade that his house values highly and he himself ap¬ preciates in the fullest measure. Mr. T. E. Elliott is also with the H. Y. McCord Co. and travels all over the mountains of North Georgia every two weeks, He knows all the paths up in that country and sells groceries right and left. He is a clever gentle¬ man and a fine salesman. Mr. M. C. Summers, a member of the H. Y. McCord Co., is on the road also, and is one of the very best. His territory extends along the Georgia road and he ■looks after his trade in a manner that pleases his customers and keeps the business of his firm on the increase always. Walter Wood travels for the firm of Langston & Woodson and is a valuable man to the firm. He hust les early and late and ends each week with a hope to do more as the days and weeks pass by. Mike Hudson hasn't been trav¬ eling a great while but he shows striking evidences of ability and i# giving satisfaction to his house, He is a clever young man and de¬ serves success.

Mr. John Tilley, of Oxford, spent Sunday and Monday with parents here - John is making a nice record in school. If you are not a reader of the Weekly you are behind the times. You are in the band wagon -when you place your name on our list. True, we have been haring “gardening weather,” but ve wouldn’t advise our friends to expend too much time on these valued spots of earth just yet. Miss Fleta Simpkins came home last Saturday in order to attepd the dedication service Sunday. She returned to her school duties, at LaGrauge. Tuesday■ In this neck cf the woods it is the opinion that the platform upon which Allen 1). Candler will make his race for Governor will suit not only the farmers of Georgia but a majority of the voters of the State, That was a very thoughtless or indifferent individual who tied his mule to one of the young shade trees at the Bapt¬ ist church Monday night. The animal gnawed the tree fear¬ fully and it will very likely die. It is hoped that the act may not be repeated. Tkc fac- —^ is r-HEiJa ca cigaafdre ZL ever 7 Cf % wrapper.
