CONYERS, GA., SATURDAY NOV. 9. 1878
BRICK STORE FAIR,
“Wo are officially authorized to state
that Tallulah tiro company No. 1, of
Conyers, accompanied by the Conyers,
cornet band, will bo at Brink Store lair
tomorrow, (Thursday, Nov. 7), and all
who attend the lair will have an < pffor
tuuity to witness the splend.d working
ot the company, and to hear the excel¬
lent music of that fifsl class cornet band.
Let them have a rousing crowd.—[Covs
itigton Star.
The fire company from this place, un¬
der a special contract, was promptly on
hand Wednesday night, accompanied by
the Band, (who volunteer*! to play for
the company without compensation), in
order to appear in the programme of
the lair on Thursday. The unerdsiand
iug was that good accommodations were
to be furnished on the premises, hut
n jthing ot the kind was furnished. A
few bushels of seed cotton was Bpread
On a floor, and the modest sum ot 25 cts.
each, was charged for the privilege of
s eeping on the above unique and COIIK
fortable (?) bed. At the restaurant, kept
by McOcnnel & Graves, each member of
the Baud aud lire comp my was charged
3o cents for each meal.
The members of the company and the
Baud paid their own expenses, and the
i t r association was gainer by their pres
t nee. Notwithstanding, they actually
required the Band to give them their
m rvices and pay for the privilege !
which unreasonable demand, of course,
was not complied with. This pretext
was taken advantage of to back squarely
down t om the contract made with the
fire company. Quite a number of people
bad been induced to attend on Thursday
attracted by the band and the tire com¬
pany, and were very outspoken in their
condemnation of the mangers for the
swindle perpetrated, not only on the
fire company, but Miosg who had thus
been induced to pay their money at the
gate. We regret that this thing has
occurred, for if the managers of Brick
Htore fair expect to ever attempt to have
another exhibition, they will find that
the people will not be as easily humbug¬
ged in the future as they have been in
the past.
We are pleased to learn that Prof
1 ane, of our city, will have his new hook
published and on the market by the last
of December. The publishers, Messrs.
I) midp & Dodson, of Atlanta, already
have 251 pages printed, and are pushing
the work in order to have it out by
Christmas. It will contain about 600
pages, is neatly printed, and will be a
very handsome book. As to the excel
ent character of Prof. Lane’s work, it is
needless for us to speak. Those who
have b.'cn taught his short sistem of
analytical calculations, understand its sun
perioiity, while the general reader could
hardly appreciate its worth without a
more practical demonstration than a mere
newspaper notice. Prot. Lane informs
us that almost the entire edition he is
having printed has been subscribed for.
at $5.09 per copy, and that ho will be
obliged to issue another editon at a very
early day. Wc have no doubt it will
soon supercede all other systems of
arithmetic in the school house as well as
counting room,—[Covington Star.
We wore pleased to meet Prot. Lane on
Hie a*nets of Covingtir, on Wednesday
last, who showed us the advanced sheets
of his new system, of Mathematics, and
being somewhat versed in the system,
we are prepared to give our endorsement
to what the Star has u rilten above.
As a preliminary throe of resumption
agony, Secretary Sherman has stopped
tlie manufacture and issue of all one-dol
lar and two.dollar bills of the national
banks. These bills will be retired as
fast as they wear out, leaving no bank
noie of less than five dollars in circular
lion. T he amount of the latter will be
proportionately increased. This measure
will naturally call for several milhous
inert of silve dollars, and yet the secreta¬
ry ot the treasury and the director of the
mint are howling for a limitation of the
silver coinage.—[Atlanta Constitution.
The number ot pensioners on the rolls
at the md of the last fiscal year was
223,998, a decrease ot 2,645 during the
yea". It is expected, however, that the
l umber will be increased during the cur¬
rent year on aecouni of services in the
war ot 1812. The amount paid fur pen¬
sions duiin 'the past year was $26,530,-
792.
Since 18~>2 there have come to this
county 249,009 Chinese, 55,000 ot
whom have returned to China and 21,
ODD have died, leaving 173,000 in the
United States. As the immigration has
fallen off very decidedly during the last
iew years, it is apparent that even it tl e
Chinese were disposed, and we had no
objection, it would take a very painfully
long period ot time to get 400,00o,0'jo
ngolians out of China.

LEPROSY IN SPAIN. .
The announcement that leprosy had
made its appearance in the province of
Alicante will not surprise any one who
lias traveled in that part of Spain, for I
was informed while staying at Valencia
that in that province, which herders on
Alicante, there were one hundred and
known cases of leprosy last year,
of which proved fatal
can be no doubt that other cases
escaped detecti n, as persons suffer¬
from this disease generally attempt
to conceal the fact even from their rela¬
tives. There is a hospital outside ot
Valencia set apart entirely for lepers, and
all those who refuse to enter it are kept
isolated and are subjected to very severe
sanitary regulations. At St. Si mat de
Valdigna the inhabitants call leprosy ‘the
Moors evii,’ and at Enquerra “St Laza¬
rus’s evil.” The kind of leprosy most
preva'ent in the province of Valencia is
tubercular or Greek leprosy, while in
Alicante the Hebrew leprosy is the most
common form,—[Pall Mall Gazette.
The Cheyenne raid through Kansas on
Sebtember 39 and October 1 resulted in
the butchery of twenty eight American
citizens, tlie wounded of four or five oth¬
ers, and the brutal outraging of twenty
five white women. Yet the Admitrstra*
tion is occupying itself with a devilish
plan to take away the troops needed to
prevent these outrages and use them to
intimidate voters and fraudulently ea"vy
on elections in South Carolina.
The Board of Physicians of the State
of Georgia will hold its annual session in

The tramps are burning barns and cot¬
ton-gin houses at an alarming rate in the
vicinity of Columbus, Miss., and other
parts of the South. The Columbus In¬
dex says, ‘If these losses are due, as
we can not but believe, to the plague of
the Nor'h, the tramp, our people should
take such prompt measures of cure as
have been found effective in other local

M. Duveyrar has just shown to what
portions ot Africa explores should dir et
their attention, Seven vast regions yet
remain unknown or shrouded in mystery.
These ave, in the north, the Sahara and
the Libyan D i sert* in bh-e west, the
country between tbe Joliba and the coast
ot Guinea; iu the center, the
course and the sources of the Bmue and
(he Shari i in the east, the interior of the
Cape Guardtfui and the chain ot monn -
tains in the equatorial zone; at the eeu
ter, the cempledon of the basins ot the
Nile, the Congo and the Ogone, and
finally, in the south, the basin ol the Cu
liure. As the exploration ot Africa has
gone on at the rate of about 234,285
square kilomilres per year, ad of that
continent should be known in less than
fort v-eight years.
IN MEM0R1UM.
The undersigned were appointed a
committee by the Sunday School of the
First Baptist Church, at this pkee, a»
their last meeting, to give some expres¬
sion to ihe relatives and friends, ol the
high regard and love which we. as n
sehoo', had tor our deceased sisters, Mrs.
Mary C. Petty and Miss Ophelia Bryans,
and also of the gteat loss sustained by
tlie school when it pleaded our Heavenly
Father to remove them from this world
ot sorrow to himself in heaven.
We are at a loss to speak as we should
of their many virtues. Only a few days
ago, and wi hi’i a few hours of each
other, their spirits took their flight from
this world to the Paradise of God.
Mrs. Petty was a mem ber of the First
Baptist Church at this p’ace, and was
nofed for the great energy which she at
all times brought to bear, when physi¬
cally able, in devising ways and means
for the wel fare of the Church and Sab
bath School. It seemed lha* the cause
of Christ was paramount to all other in
tcres's with her. She will be greatly
missed by us, but we believe our loss is
her eternal gain, therefore we shou d not
mui mar.
Miss Ophelia had never made a public
profession of an interest in the attuning
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, yet she
gave those who conversed with her full
and satisfactory evidence that she had
been with Jesus aud would soon meet
her Savior and sainted mother, whe had
just goue before, that she loved the Lord
and placed her entire trust in Him, and
sun-minded by a host of friends and
weeping relatives, she fell asleep in Jesus,
Dear relatives, those dear ones are not
dead but sleepeth. Imitate their exam¬
ple, and may your last days be like theirs
“Therefore, be ye also ready, for in an
hour as ye think uot the Son of man
coioeth.”

A Curious Convenience.
There has recently been offered to the pub¬
lic, a great convenience for very little
and that is the Windsor Oil Stove. You
can place it on the coiner of your dining table,
and in a few minutes, cook a first-class meal
on it, make coffee in less than ten minutes,
fry ham, eggs, oyesters, or warm over cold
victuals of all kinds. No wood, no smoke, no
danger and no “big price.” All wlio buy re¬
fuse to sell at three times the price paid. It
can be seen any day by calling on the Sole
