A CONVENTION SOUVENIR.
Remarkable Gift in Connection
with the great Republican
National Convention.
While It is known by everybody
that McKluley will be renominated by
the Republican National Convention
to be held in Philadelphia during the
week of the 18th, interest is no less
high on that account. It is admitted
that the convention will be among the
greatest in history on account of the
importance of its results. Every one
will therefore be anxious for a sou
venir of the gathering. Appreciating
this the great "Philadelphia Sunday
Press" has arranged to give free with
every copy next Sunday (June 17) a
novel and attractive convention sou
venir. On a ground 10J by inches
is printed a handsome picture of the
convention hall, and in the pannels
appear the force of the leading Repub
licans who will be prominent in the
work of the convention. Both, as a
work of art and on account of its his
toric value, this picture is certain to
be eagerly sought for and highly
prized. If you want it you hud better
order next Sunday's "Press" to-day.

the buniness Fulton county has

Accidents. "Two of n Kind.'
While walking in tho gardeu,
about a week ago, Mrs. 1 Jlair Rod
cay, of this place, noticed a nail
protruding from a board. Fear
ing the children might be injured
by it nho pressed her foot against
it, hoping to bend it down or
break it off. Instead of this it
pierced tho shoo solo and run the
full length into her foot, which be
came much swollen and caused
her great pain. She is getting
better and nothing serious will
res ult from what is always a wound
that should be looked well to.
Master Clifford Grissinger, son
Daniel L. (Jrissinger, of town,
while at play, was also so unfort
unato as to run a nail into his
foot. Wo think Clifford will pull
through as whoever is attending
him is givinghim careful nursing,
as we noticed something like a
pillow tied about his foot with in
numerable bandages, making it
quite burdensome for him to car
ry them.
