Editor Conyers Weekly :—In
your issue of July 9th, 1898, I
find an article from the pen of
my belovedand esteemed friend,
the Rev. Henry Quigg, D. D.,
in which he gives all of us some
It ard licks. The Dr. is able to
do that any time. One of those
licks hit me and mine, (If it
had hit the other fellow I pos¬
sibly would not he hollowing)
and the hit dog is the one that
hollows, so 1 give a howl.
The good Doctor says in that
article that Miss" Martin had
the toughs of the town in her
class. Dear me! Why my. as
[ thought, good little feeble,
lonely, delicate boy, my only
boy, Mark Twain Glenn was in
Miss Martin’s class, and he clas
sed as a tough! my little angel
to be classed as a town tough!

WeW, when T come to think
over the matter I recon the good
Doctor is right. I am set down

If the rest of the hit dogs can
and will appreciate. ‘‘That the
wounds of a friend are faithful,’
then the Doctor has made us
his debtors. The good Doctor,
with myself and most of the
trustees, will soon be beyond
the problems of life. I hope we
will have so lived as to leave
some foot prints on the sands of
time that may benefit our fel¬

Miss Osa Waldrop, of Pan

Miss Kate Sims, of near

last Saturday afternoon.
Messrs. Jule New, W. S. Bar¬
ton, J. W . Ford and others, at¬
tended the pic-nic at
mill on July 4tli and had
cake dinner at the brown house.
The dinner consisted of
and oysteis which had a
tax added to the regular
so they say.
We have had several
rains recently.
Mr. Editor, by an error
your type you made one of
items read “Mrs W. J.
and Jerome Robinson” when
should have read, “Messrs.
J. Terry and Jerome
Please be more careful in
ture.
Quite a number of our
went down to Smyrna to the
Sunday school celebration last
Friday. The speeches were
very good. One of those who
spoke was Prof. O. T. Clotfeiter
and among other good things he
said: The United States is the
country in the world; Georgia is
the flower of the states; Rock
dale is the garden spot of Geor
gia and Oak Grove community
is the flour-bed of Rockdale.”
Afler bragging on the people of
that community in a general
way he said; “Oak Grove lias
as pretty girls as any human
pointer ever flashed. j y
While the above was being
delivered by the Professor with
a successful attempt at oratory,
one good old Ork Grove brother,
who was sitting in a rear corner
was heard to say “Ain’t that
the God’s truth?” “Amen!”
ss id another brother in an op¬
posite corner in a, tone a nd stress
of voice that seemed to ask i
‘ What more could he sa> V” Au
other brother was seen wink¬
ing his eye at Mr. Zack Al
mand.
Now, Profesor, if the county
line was extended west about
a couple of miles we don’t
believe you would lntvo made
all the assertions you did. We
know that the Oak Grove girls
are very pretty butOak Grove is
furnishing some of the Klon
dyke young ladies with beauxs
galore. A trio of Oak Grove’s
young men can he seen around
Klondyke very frequently. Why
is such the case? We pause for
a reply,

Moral; The next day the
man went to the publisher of

to pay it promptly. I stood in
