CONYERS. GA.. SATURDAY DEC. 14. 1878
bnlci i STORE FAIR.
\\ e had hoped that the controversy
between the fire company of this place
and the managers of Brick blore fair, was
at mi end. But they have sent us an¬
other communication, and we only tefer
*.o il now, for the purpose of refuting the
charges contained in the communication
against the Examinen, and the band.
What the editor of the Examiner has
s iid about this muddle, is susceptible ot
proof, which even the managers ot
B auk Store fair will not dispute. And
we wish them to unders'and that the
truth w ill be maintained in these co'umns
regardless of sia'utes on libel. We call
cspictal attention to the following clause
of tin* communication, viz:
“We can prove that Capt. McConnell
read this letter of September 19th., a*
Rockdale fair and told them not to come
unless they were wil'ir.g to carry out their
contract, as stated bv their Secret try.’
Who did Capt. McConnell read the
let ter tot It has been admitted that he
read the letter to the Treasurer of the
band, and was emphatically informed
that the band would not comply without
compensation, fie did not tell the band
not to conif, and no members of the fire
company were present. Let the managers
of the fair association produce their
proof We assert that they ean not
prove what they claim.
Admitting what they claim in reference
to the contract made by Mr. fommey.
and that the services of the band “vvas
the inducement to offer the premium."
when the band told McConnell at Rock
dale fair that they would not comply
ytnlh Tommey s contract, why did he not
contract with the band for their services,
and thus prevent any disturbance or dis¬
appointment, by writing on the 5th of
November for them to come, knowing
that thu band wor ld not play for the
fair. On this point, the whole matter
hangs. Knowing that that the band
would not play tor the fair, it seems un¬
reasonable for the managers to still write
for them to come , unless they had con
c tided to remunerate the band for their
services, or give the premium to the fire
company for the parade; or rake advarr
ttge ot the fire company and band by in.
dneing them to attend the fai'\ tinder
false pretences , thus reaping all the
benefit to themselves at the expense ol
the fire company and band. We leave
the managers to accept either horn of the
dilemma they p'ease. This much is evi
dent, that, after reaping the bmefitfrorn
the p’esence of the fire company and
band, they utterly refused to make any
adjustment of the difference in under¬
standing, alt hough every effort was made
on the part of the company to satisfaoto
rially settle the difficulty. No inductneiit
cottld be offered the managers to get
l! em to pay the $50, or any portion of it!
Th© Gn-enesboro Herald gives this
\ ood advice to farme-s : “Hog meat is
cheap, certain. We hope our farmer
friends will not conclude it is too ehoap
to raise, and let the hogs go. It is the
best policy to raise it, even if it cost dou*
ble what il can be bought for—to set a
good example, it for nothing else. It
they don’t, it wdl not be long before the
price will move tip to 10 and 12 cents a
pound. Common s'otse and good man¬
age mem- say raise it. and ’’aise everything
else that can be raised on a farm, and
buy nothing that can be mad? at home.
Then it cotton is on’y 7 and 8 cents a
pound, it will be a surplus to add to and
fix up and beautify your homes and bring
around you the comfons and elegancies
of life. Raise hogs, corn, wheat, oats,
peas, potatoes, vegetables of a’l kinds,
and have your own beef, mutton, poultry,
as well as you." nti'k and butter. Buv
nothing but what )ou can’t raise or
make.*’
Rev. Dr. Leftwieh, ot Atlanta, Ga,,
was elected pastor of the First Presbyte¬
rian church of Baltimore, Monday night,
t » fill the vacancy caused by the resigna¬
tion ot Dr. Backus in 187 >, who since
that date lias been the pastor emeritus,
Dr. L' flwioh will therefore go from a
small city to a great one; from a poor
congregation to an immensely wealthy
one: from an humble church edifice to
one of the most magnificent in America;
from a plain parsonage to a grand one.
As his views on dancing are well kuown,
he will probably havo uothing to block
ids way, which seems, after all, to be a
lucky oue.—[Augusta Chronicle,
The Constitution announces that the
city of Atlanta is ready to fulfill her
obligations to the State, in furnishing a
cepitol building and site, as agreed, upon
the location of the eapitol in that city.—
This is honorable in the city of Atlanta,
but will it not be rather & stigma on the
honor of a great state like Georgia, to im¬
pose stt.h a tax ou the citizens ot that
enterprising place? Let the city furnish
the grounds, and when the state needs a
n^w Building, she will be able to furnish
the money.

Ecitoi. Co»y Eil8 Ex»MiNSK-Sir t We
acknowledge the rcc^-t of you- paper
containing another card from members ot
Tallulah Fire Co. No doubt ih<f
are fully sa'isfied in regard to th's whole *
affair, and we would pay no further ah
tent ion to it. but from the fact that in
their las» attack these men seem to think
they have made a point in their fa\or by
a discrepancy in dates, ami we are not
willing that they should have a shadow
of excuse behind which to shelter theii
outrageous conduct, The wt.ole mat er
brought down to a few words is this—
They claim that they did not contract
i 0 furnish the brass band to play lot 1 us
dining the day they came to oiir fair.—
We claim that they did sj contract, and
thit was the great inducement which
caused us to agree to give the $30 UO
premium. This is the whole thing with
me abuse left out. Now in support of
out assertion, we ask the publication ot
these two letters.
Conyers, Oa , September 19, 1878.
Mr. Henry L. Graves—D rSir: Our tire
company has ordered u j write to you in
regard to your coming fair. We have not been
able to get another company to contest with
us a nd would like to know if you have suceed
ed in procuring one. We are very anxious to
test the engine on your ground, and will test
it by the side of any hand fire engine in this
State
If you will offer the $50 00 premium to us
we will bring our engine down, your bigest
day, and also furnish you the brass band of
this place, on that day, free of charge. We
are confident that the fire co, and band wiri
cause you to realize more than the $5J> 00, as
not many people of the county ever saw the
display of a fire co.. and that alone will cause
more than enough people to come to the fair
to repay you the premium. Our company is
well equipped and well uniformed, and are
practicing three times every week, consequent¬
ly we are confident of making a grand display.
The Rockdale fail- has accepted this proposi
lion and we earnestly hope ybu v ill d; the name
Please let us hear from you as soon as possi
ble. Yours Respectfully, A. P. Tosimey,
Sec. Tallulah Fire Co.
p. S,—Mr. J. Wood of this place wishes to
know if you want him to run the hotel at your
fair this fall. If so, let him know immediate¬
ly, as he is well fixed up for the business. Mr.
Wood is the same party that cooked for you
last year. A. P. T.

Henry L. Graves, Esq.—Dear sir : I wrote
\ o.i some time ago in regard to our fire com¬
pany coming to j-our fair, but have received
no answer 3 et. At a meeting of the company
last night I was ordered to write you again.
We propose to come to your fair, bringing our
engiue and furnishing yon the bra s band of
this place, bn the day we come, free of charge,
provided 3 on give us the $50 00 premium if
no ether company comes, and if another com¬
pany comes, we will come and contest for the
premium. We are well equipped and uni¬
formed, and will add more than $50 00 to your
fair. Will come any day you say. The fair
at this place makes Us this offer. We will
contest against any hand fire engine m the
State. We are satisfied yuu will realize more
than the premium by our coming. Please
write to us immediately and stale what you
will offer to us provided no other company
comes We assure you that you will lose noth
ing by it, but on the other hand. will gain,
Yours Respectfully,
A. P. Tommey, Sec. Tullulah Fire Co.
So much tor documentaly evidence —
When the proper time arrives, we will
produce vriI nesses th at will satisf , a jury
that A. P. Tommey tame to see us in
person, reiterated a*l lie said in his letter,
and even more We can prove that
Capt. McConnell read this letter ot Sept.
19th at Rockdale fair, and lold them not
to come unless they were willing to carry
out their contract as staled in the letter
ot their secretary, Wo can prove that
they came and iailed to furnish the ntu
sic.
In this Inst attack of “Members" of
fire co,, they mu’-e this flat assertion-—
“Suffice it to say in this connection that
the band had no.king, whatever, to do
with the contract between tlie fire com¬
pany and the managers of Brick Store
fair, and that there was no obligation
Dn the part of the fire company to fur¬
nish the fair issociatiou with music on
that occasion ’’ Now, Mr Editor, we
wish to know who are these “Members’
of fire co., who pub ish these cat ds?—
Has the fire company authorized these
men to speak for them ? it is truly a
poor cause that depends upon libellous
abuse for ils support. YVe have been
published to the world as swindlers , and
every effort has been made both by these
“Members” and the editor of the Exam¬
iner to defame and blacken our chatac’.er.
There is a bill before tbe Georgia Le¬
gislature proposing to make slander a
penal offense. YVe hope it will become
a law.
In couclasion, we say that Capt. Mc¬
Connell having been brought more prom¬
inently for ward ir this matter, he is in
no respect more respotisib e for our action
than the other members ot the association.
YVe are, with due respect.
