All the male citizens living within the
incorporate limits of Conyers, between
tlie ages of i6 and 50 years, are hereby
notified to call on the undersign and pav
fheir street tax for 1878. I am ordered
to make Co’ledion by the first day of
April. F. J WHITEHEAD, Marshal,
There are twenty paupers supported
bv Rockdale county, at an average cost
of $'4,22|- each, per month. An aggregate
cost to the county, per annum, of $1,014,
00. Would it not be advisable to locate
♦ he paupers on a fat'tlrv, where their labor
could be made to pay a good portion
this expense. Other counties have found
pauper-farms the most econonrcal plan.
to maintain the pauper population.
I MEAN BUSINESS !!
All parties who are indebted to the under¬
signed, either l>y Note or Account, are hereby
notified that they must, come forward and settle
the same by next SATURDAY, the 23d inst.
After that date, my papers will positively be
placed in an officer’s hauls for collection,

Atlanta bad a big blow last Sunday,
which came very near causing a loss of
life to a whole congregation. A woods
en Episcopal church was blown down,
and strange to say not a single person
was killed, although quite a number were
considerably bruised. A number of oth¬
er buildings were badly damaged, and
the side walks were strewn with demo!*
tailed signs

Rufus B. Bullock, Treasurer of the
Atlanta Cotton Factory ! Ish dot so ?
Well, these Atlanta people can fight a
‘man the hardest while the fight is in pro¬
gress and forgive the most completely
and practically of any people on earth.
And that is sound sense and good re*
ligion* Let us quit fighting* forgive one
another all over, burry the hatchet and
take a fresh start. That would be a little
inillenium. And that is just what is
needed.

In our last issue, appeared an adver¬
tisement—“Wanted—a wife, by a well
t’o-clo fanner.” In this issue, another
ap pears, from a young lady* looking to
the consumation of a matrimonial en
gageinent.- Now as they are,genuine ad
vertisements, by responsible parlies, and
both in the same notiou, other consider
rations being equal, we see no reason,
why a mutual agreement could not be
effected between the parties. Where
are the “ spinsters ” who officiate in the
“match-making,” department ?
There are fifty-two different biands of
Fertilizers represented in Conyers, by
sixteen regular agents, and a host of
sub-agents scattered over the county.—
It the farmers of this county are not well
supplied, it is not for the want of a vari
ety to select from, or a sufficient number
of agents to solicit their patronage.
The hardest case that we remember
to have come to our notice* occurred in
this place one day last week. A fainter
living ou the line of Rockdale and De
counties, came here and made a
tradelor pvo visions, with one of our
^ ^ ^
ness on time. No sooner had he gotten
the provisions on his wagon, than a con¬
stable levied an M execution bn than.

Burns Silver Cornet Band, gave a
concert in Athens, on the night of the
4th inst., which is spoken bf by the
Watchman as being the best musical eu
t'ei tainmetlt that has been given in that
ciiy, fora number of years.
Why cau not the “Conyers Col-net
Band get up a series of entertainments ?
There is fine musical talent in the band,
and there is no scarcity of talent among
the ladies of our town, who would doubt¬
less render any assistance that may be
necessary, to give variety to the enter¬
tainments for the Spring and Summer,
W e heard an old and reliable railroader
put a conundrum the other day • “Why
is it the Ga., IT. R., doesn’t pay any div¬
idends, when they charge the same rates
as formerly, for freight, five cents a mile
for passage, have more carrying in
fireight than former times, when divi¬
dends were declared, have cut dowm wa

When officers, under these circumstances,

know why and consider a “swap.”
The old addage says that “ its a bad
wind that blows nobody any good,” but
the wind on last Sunday, set two woman
of beligerant dispositions, into each oth¬
ers hair, by moving an old barn across
the dividing line between two lots. Now,
in that barn the hens of the adjoining
lots, being of a neighborly disposition,
deposited their eggs, in a common nest,
regardless of the row that their i espective
owners might chance to get Up over a
fair divide. One of the woman crossed
over the line to claim her share of spoils,
when she was met by the other whose
beligerant attitude caused the in
tvudbig party to beat a hasty retreat,
when a test of the “longest tongue” was
indulged in until the neighborhood was
thoronqlily aroused to the importance of
the occasion, “All quiet along the Hie”
now, however, and the old hens sing as
gaily, and deposite their eggs on as
friendly terms, as if no row bad occurred
ou their account.
Wo are informed by a ‘grapevine dis¬
patch,” that a taoVel scene was enacted,
in the M. E church, at Rutledge, two or
three weeks ago, at the last quarterly
meeting, held at that place. It seems,
that. fi»r some time past, an old giudge
has existed between two members of that
church, and while the P. Elder was
holding a conference meeting on Saturday,
the brethren all being present, one of th°
dissatisfied brothers rising from his seat,
approached the other, and said, ‘3;o.-
you have bothered me long enough, and
now one or the other of ns must carry a
whipping. The Presiding Elder, and
the other brethren, however, interfer¬
ed, and the fight didn’t come off just
then, at any iate ; and the question as to
which one of the beligerant brethren is
to carry the “Peking,” is yet, undecided.
What’s Rough Rice doing, to allow such
