THE WEEKLY BANNER.
J. G. Wooley was in town Monday
exhibiting some excellent specimens
fromhis wheat and oat crops, wliich
were-pronounced by all who saw them
as being the best they had seen at all
for this year. In one bunch of wheat
be showed, tlie heads were six or eight
inches long vitli three grains to the
mesh. Some of his oats were headed
out more than a foot. Mr. Woolley’s
crops are all very forward and fine this
year and he informs us that ho has corn
i l silk and cotton in squares. He is
cultivating 110 acres and has only had
to hire two day’ work done so far.—
Whitney * (Tex.) Messenger. Mr.
Woolley has many relatives and friends
in this county who will be glad to know
of his fine crop prospects and his pros¬
perous condition generally.
What a great pity it is that some peo¬
ple can never learn that tattling or low
talk about others, or falsifying others
has never added the minutest lustre to
themselves, but on the other hand
dimmed what they did possess. Such
as these would profit by learning the
often repeated saying of Shakespeare.
“He who steals my purse steals trash,
but he who pilfers from me my good
name takes that which enriches not
himself but which leaves me poor in¬
deed.”—Ex.
Mr. Jno. L. Smith is the right kind of
citizen. He came in last Saturday and
had the name of his friend, Mr. W. W.
Ramsey, Harlem, Ga., placed on our sub¬
scription book. He says he wants his
friends at his old home to know what a
good town he has found up the road.
This is patriotic. Thank you, Mr.
Smith.
Mr. J. A. Goode made a great mis
takc in si looting at some one around his

Billie Stovall says that it was some of
Joe’s friends out on a charitable expe¬
dition and would have given him a bas¬
ket of corn had he not shot so soon,
•Miss Frankie Norman arrived home
from Brenau, at Gainesville, last Tues¬
day mornriug. She is a graduate of this
institution and her record from the day
she entered to tho time she received her
diploma, is one of great credit. Her
many friends are glad to have her at
home again permanently.
Misses Irene and Callie Irwin, Irma

law and Messrs. Anthony Norton, Hen¬

tian, Jno. Cowan and Few Ross attend¬
ed the commencement exercises of the
Lithonia High School last Monday eve n
iug.
A safe barometer as to the standing o:
merit of a town is the talk of the drum
mer. They know and they usually speak
what they think. Taking this as a guide
iu the case of Conyers, we can safely say
that we have as good town and people
as can be found iu the world. v
This should be a source of great pleas¬
ure to our citizenship.
Friend Frank Harper will accept our
thanks for a hunch of line turnips. He

reward.

1 he humor and wit of innocent chil¬
dren is sometimes interesting and amus¬
ing. A few days ago a little tot of six
years Old was asking her mother the
privilege for her brother and herself to
go berry hunting. ‘Oh, wait a few dnjH
until they ripen besides I am not pre¬
pared to cook them now,” was the
mother's reply. To this the little one,
who had heard much of the Egyptian
snase wonder, readily replied, “Well
ma, we can eat ’em alive.”
