President HcKinley Shot. While shaking hands with the Presde it, with his right hand, Frederick Neimann, a Pole, whose home is in De¬ troit, tired two bullets into his body this evening about S :30 o’ciock, at the Temple ofMuoic at the Buffalo Ex position, The assassin held the pistol in his left hand cov ered wi.h a handkerchief. The last reports obtained before going to press gives hope that the President is not mortally wounded. One bul¬ let entered his chest and the other penetrated the groin. *i'v v I*.ws created much ex ciiement here and our people feel gyeat sympathy for the President and Mrs. KcKinley. Union Paper Mill Property Sold. Commissioner D. W. Al 'mand sold the Union Paper Mill property before the court house door last Tuesday mor¬ ning for the sum of ten thous¬ and dollars, subject to about $25,000 of bonds held by a New York man. The prop¬ erty was bid in by Mr. Jos. A. McCord, of the Third Na¬ tional Bank, of Atlanta. The people of Conyers are much gratified that this val¬ uable property and water power has changed hands. It is now almost certain that some extensive manufactur¬ ing plant will be established there and that the place will become one of great impor¬ tance from a manufacturing point. Frcm all we gather, it is pretty certain that several wealthy and able business men are connected with the purchase and this is an in couragement to those who hope for a brighter future for the town and county, It is pretty generally understood that a cotton factory wi’l be put up there—that an electric plant will be put in to furnish power for a line from the ri¬ ver to town and for lighting purposes at the mill and in Conyers. This is not hoping for more than we ought to have, but for that we should have. One tiling is certain; much money was paid for the prop¬ erty and it certainly will not he profitable to let it lav idle. \V'e are justified in h >ping for great things. ------- --------- .......— The great steel strike is diawing to an end and the laboring man loses as usual, The first new bale has come to town- Conyers is always in the lead. Some ®f our correspondents are missing this week. We regret this for it detracts much from the interest of the paper. We hope all will send in their items regularly. The 17 acres of land offered for B fie by C. E. Reagan, as agent for L. F. Scott, is a very valuable pice of property and can be pur¬ chased at a bargain. See about this without delay if it interests you. WEEKLY - BANKER- The importance of shredding com for forage crops, is urged up¬ on the farmers of Georgia. Cut down the stalks, fodder and all, and after the ears have been husk¬ ed out (if one wishes to save the grain separately) shred all the other together. It is said that even the stalks with the fodder pulled off and left standing in the field until the corn is gathered will irake excellent “roughage” if shredded. An item is going the rounds of the press to the effect that whis¬ key is made out of rags. We fee nothing remarkable about this. Everyone knows that nearly all the old rags in the country are manufactured out of whiskey, and there is no reason why the process of conversion may not work as »e.l one way as another—from whiskey to rags and from rags to whiskev. What a beautiful busi¬ ness it is! The 62nd annual meeting of the >f the Stone Mountain Baptist As ,Dotation convened at Temple Baptist church in Atlanta last Tuesday and was in session three days. There were about two hnn dred delegates present. The Stone Mountain Association is the largest Baptist Association in the south, it having about 0,000 members. We have received a half dozen new subscribers this veek which makes us feel that the people ap Ireciate the vVeekia-Banner. We hope to secure others each day so long as there are those who do not take it in the county. The Covington Star says: The new jail was christened, so to speak, by Sheriff H. B. Anderson and Deputy Sheriff Hay, on Sat urday night, by bringing the nine prisoners held in Conyers, from this county, and locking them in the new cells. Mr. J. E. Maddox, of Happy Valley, informs us that East,view street is now on the broad guage order, Things in that neck of the woods are booming. Rabbits are ripe and Happy Valley is on the dead run.

It was very well patronized by both white and colored. A letter from friend Dan Hud son last Thursday bears the cheer ing message, “travel goed and hea’tn better.” May it ever be thu, with him. After a week’s delay the public schools will open Monday. Several Conversites went to At-. lanta on the Excursion Thursday, Horse and Buggy Stolen. Pomp Gaither, (Col.) left his horse and buggy on the hitching ground at Hewlett, Reagan & Downs’ store last Saturday night, and went into his restaurant, on Commerce street, where he was engaged for some time. \\ hen he went for his turnout to go home, he found only a portion of the rein tied to the post—his horse and buggy was gone. The rein had been severed with a knife. A search was instituted for the stol¬ en team and it was found Sunday evening in the woods near Mr. Slocum’s place in Sheffield dis¬ trict. Ihe horse bad been un¬ hooked and tied to a tree. For Rent. One of the best 2 or 8 horse farms in DeKalb county, 6 room house and good water, 17 miles from Atlanta.

McCalla’s 90th birth¬ day, at their hospitable home, oa Friday last, August 80th, with a general reunion of the family. About 48 decendants of the aged couple were present, besides ■some intimate friends, and a large number of the old colored ser¬ vants of the family. Mr. and Mrs. AfcCalla were mar¬ ried on Friday, November V, 1884, md eight boys and three girls were >orn tmto them, all of whom are still living. It is quite remarkable that a family so large and old should never have had a death in it. Mr. and Airs. McCalal both en¬ joy reasonably good health, and are quite vigorous for persons of their age. May they both I’ve to enjoy nany happy returns of their fami¬ ly reunions. TEETS BROS. SHOW. Teets Bros. Show pitched tents here last Wednesday for two per¬ formances .
