TME JlQMElQUBtY&fr PRICE, TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. Published Every’Thursday Morning. Jno. H. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, Jakuary 2. Not one politician in ten thou sand reaches the goal of his am bition. The man who swaps a good bus iness for political office is sure to be cheated. JIks. Robert Tyler, daughter- in-law of President Tyler, died at Montgomery, Ala., last, Sunday. She was 74 years eld. Georgian's this year should bear in mind that the office-seek ers are not the only men in the state fit to hold office. Candidates will be. exceedingly plentiful in Georgia this year, and though a freeze -is anticipated, it will not be severe enough to de stroy the germs of political ambi tion. 1S90. Volume XX. The indications now are that there will be a tariff bill before congress within the next 30 or 40 days. The -republicans are op posed to any reduction of duty on raw marerials. The farmers alliance emphat ically illustrated last year the fact that there is more in the man than in the land. This year every farm er in Georgia should make an in dividual illustration of the fact. Over iwelve thousand dollars have been subscribed to build a monument to the memory of Henry Grad.y, in Atlanta. At least a thousand dollars hsve been sub scribed by citizens of Boston, New York, and other northern cities. The ex-Em press of Brazil, wife of Dom Predro, died, last Saturdoy Bight. Her last words were of re gret for Brazil. Dom Predro is prostrated with grief, and his con dition causes great anxiety among his friends. Henry Grady’s last public ut terance, his speech in Boston on the race problem in the South, was grand, brave, patriotic and true. That alone, if he had done noth ing else, deserves the lasting grat itude of his coutrymen. The citizens of Idnbo and Wyo ming desire the. admission of these two territories into the Union -as states. The republicans generally favor the proposition, and it is not unlikely that these will be made states in time to participate in the next presidential election. Senator Call introduced a res olution in the Senate about ten days, in favor of the acquisition of Cuba by the United States. This caused considerable excite ment in Cuba, and developed the fact that there is a strong feeling there in favor of annexation with the United States. There are seventeen contested election cases to be heard by con gress, all republicans seeking to obtain seats ifi congress to which ' democrats were elected. The com- mittee'EasTarrauged the order in which they will be considered. The first, from West Virginia, will be taken up next Wednesday, and then two each week, except the last week in January, until all are disposed of. The contests are all from Southern states, except one from Indiana. JlftjGE Gustin has resigned the Judgeship of the Superior Court of the Macon circuit, to take effect as soon as his successor is ap- I pointed. He Will actively re-enter the practice of law, and will be a I member of the present firm of f - Guerry & Hall, counsel for the . Georgia Southern & Florida rail road. The following gentlemen are prominently mentioned in con- jfe, nection with the succession: | W. B. Hill, J. L. Hardeman, R. W- Patterson andW. D. Nottingham. A strong effect will be made, by those financially interested, to induce congress to restore the tar iff on quinine, and to keep the heavy duty on castor oil. The republican idea is to keep a heavy import duty on everything of prime necessity to the people generally, and in every way practicable to assist the monopo list manufacturers to increase their riches. Thus they say better wages will be paid. This pollciy will not stand argument, and the democrats will surely win in the next campaign in opposition to it The Americus Recorder reports i that the city council of that place, since the people voted for the bonds, will proceed at once to i erect a fine school building. The J plans are being discussed, and it 1 .is proposed- to build the house en tirely of Georgia pine with.a fine interior finish. The bolding will . contain two stories, the lower one ^ to be used for the primary and intermediate departments, and the upper one for the high school and audience room. In the center of the building, t on the lower floor, will be a covered court in which the children can take exercise du ring stormy weather. Subbscribe for the Hohe Jourxa. With this issue of the Hohe Journal we begin a new year and a new volume. For nineteen years the Home Journal has served its patrons and its section faithfally, to the best of ability of the man controll ing it. For ten years, less three months, the present editor has managed the paper. It is not our purpose to review the past, or forecast the future. In the past we have done our best to give full value for every cent, and every favor, received, and in the future we propose to do the best we can on the same line. Whatever mistakes we have made -were not intentional, of course, and our best endeavors will be devoted to the avoidance.of a repetition of any such,while trying earnestly to serve honestly and well all oar patrbns, and their in terests. Our paper will be made, as near as onr best efforts can, a complete home journal for Houston county. The paper to-day contains eight columns to the page, aggregating four more columns than it has ever embraced since we assumed control of it. We propose that" these columns shall uphold the right, and contain nothing impure, or immoraL W£ propose that at no time shall the Home Journal contain aught to raise a blush to the cheek of the most modest of its readers. In Houston, w T e shall work as siduously for Houston’s good, giv ing justice to all and special favors to none. The changes we have just made, with the purpose of better serving our patrons, have been effected only by the expenditure of nearly eight hundred dollars, and much trouble and unrequited labor. This added expense will not cost any of our readers one far thing extra. On the contrary, ev ery subscriber who pays in ad vance will receive the paper 25 per cent cheaper than heretofore. Every such subscriber will pay only S1.50 a year. However, those who fail to pay in advance, will pay $2.00, as heretofore. We ask the patronage of every citizen of Houston county, but we ask it in a strictly business way- We want money, but we want only so much as we earn. No pro gressive citizen can afford not to read, and next to his Bible the columns of his home paper con tain that which is of most im portance to him. The Home Journal will be made such a pa per to every citizen of Houston county, and every other citizen who feels an interest in Houston county. Being published at the county seat, and being the chosen medium for the official advertising of the county, its facilities for furnishing substantial and positively import ant Houston county news, cannot be equaled. Friends in the several districts of the county will report to us the current news of their respective sections, and thus our ability to satisfactorily serve all our readers will be materially enhanced. To-day the Home Journal has a larger circulation than at any time since 1880, and fewer of thesej in proportion, are in arrears. But our subscription list is not as large as it should be, and we propose to increase it by meriting the patron age of every one who is interested in Houston county and its people. So far as our efforts can be of force, we propose to make the Home Journal indispensable to every progressive citizen of Hous ton. We do not ask anyone to choose between the Home Journal and any other paper, but simply say, subscribe for the Home Joubnnl, and you’ll not regret it. The year 1890 will be full to the brim of politics, county, state, and congressional, and our readers will be kept posted. Nearly all our subscribers have paid up for 1889, and not a.few have paid for 1890. To these we extend our sincere thanks. Some still owe us for last year, and few for the year before. For these we will gladly*fill out receipts* and give them sincere thanks for the money we have honestly earned. Come upprompt- ly and pay ns, that we may pay the oblfgations we have incurred in order that our service to yon might-be more satisfactory. May the new year be a happy one to all who read this, now and throngeout its three hundred and sixty-five days. While the year is yet new, and as it grows old, and older,. lets “do unto others as we would they should do unto us.” The Boys Around Pine Level. It has been my desire to say something to the public in regard to the young men who live around Pine Level school house. While PARIS, and other cities in Europe are being scourged by the Russian influenza—specially called La Grippe—and the dread disease has been imported to the. United States. It is exceedingly malig nant, its first symptoms being sim- lar to pneumonia, and also of a ca tarrhal character, speaking of and to these boys, I am confident that I will hurt no one’s feelings, for I am personally acquainted with them, and know them all well. In this immediate neighbor hood there are about a dozen hoys between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one. These young men all follow agricultural pursuits; those who do not farm for themselves, work on the farm. They all have sound heads; good judgment, quick eyes, sturdy brains and strong nerves. They are good workers, and they please their masters. The majority of the boys I speak of are free from paternal control, hence they are in the world to work for themselves, and they do not seem to dread it They are all polite, kind, and generous- hearted'; they give older ones their respect and each one attends to his own business. The older ones seem proud of them, and well they may be, for the rising generation of young men around here will be sufficiently strong (mentally speak ing,) to fill their fore-father’s Now, boys, a word to you. Ton may not know who I am, but have been watching you with a keen eye. You are enough to make any community feel proud of. You are on the right road to make yourselves popnlar. I gret to say there is one deficiency about you, and that is, you are too bashful; you haven’t got enough adhesion. For instance, take your debating club. Now there is noth ing more becoming and instructive to young men than clubs of this kind.-You organized the club with a goodly number of members, but you have kept dropping off, until you have scarcely enough for a quorum. Now, that is not the way to do; if you want to make a success of anything, keep at it speak from experience. Again, there are enough of you to have some kind of entertain ment every mouth, if you would only try; but as it now is, you scarcely have one a year. It isn’t because you haven’t got brains enough, or anything like that, but you will not come together. In connection with your club, you might add a speaking or reading society, and thereby have an enter tainment twice a week. Some of you have been to a singing-school recently, and-you might pass away some pleasant time by meeting to gether some nights or Sunday af ternoons for the purpose of sing ing. You would at the same time please the old folks. Now, boys, try my suggestions for a while, and see if they will not work well. Wishing you all, girls included, a happy new year, I remain, Your admirer, Gee Tb Aytch. Jan. 1st, 1890. “She Do Like She Do.’ A verdant young man of twenty, from the rural districts, walked into the Ordinary’s office not many days ago, and asked: “Is here whar you gits the pa pers fer ter git married?” “Yes,” replied the Ordinary, “we issue marriage licenses here.” Y. M.—“Well, I wants a pair on ’em.” O—“Where’is your girl?” Y M—“She’s’ont thar.” O—“And you think you want to get married?” Y M—“Oh yes, sir, yes sir; wants ter git married.” O—“Do you love your girl?” Y M—“Oh yes, sir, yes sir; loves her.” O—“Does she love you?” Y M—“I dunno, sir; I speck she do. She do like die do.” License gaanted. Auction Sale of Horses, Two car loads of Western Horses will be sold to the highest bidder, Unadilla Saturday, Jan. 1L commencing promptly at 10 a. m. The horses are from three to six years old and weigh from 700 to 900 pounds each, and are bred from Kentucky stock, comprising saddle horses, work horses, choice mares, matched pairs and good business horses suitable for all kinds of work, also a number of fine young horses and mares that are unbroken. The terms of sale will be cash and every horse sold under a guarantee. This will be a good chance to buy a horse at. your own price, as the horses will be sold without reserve. -There will be no postponement on ac count of Tain, as Mr. McCafferty, the owner, has other business that ioires his immediate attention, 1 the horses must be sold. The excessive use of mean whis key by mean men caused a lot of trouble in Georgia and other Southern states on Christmas day Beginning with the guzzling of liquor, municipal laws were vio lated, and attempted arrests led to riots, bloodshed and death. HentlerSon Items. - Christmas has come and is gone, and I think it has been the dullest I ever saw in the village. _On Christmas eve there was a Christ mas tree at the academy. Mr Geo. F. Clark enacted the part of Santa Claus,, and did itto. perfection. A. great variety of presents were dis posed, and everybody was-pleased. The large crowcl-were invited up stairs to the festival prepared by the ladies of the Methodist church. There inner man could be satisfied with the good things that are pro verbial for our ladies to prepare. It was a magnificent success. A net profit of something over thirty dollars was realized and the ladies feel grateful for the patronage. There was some old-fashioned turkey shooting during the week, first among the whites and then the colored people. Mr. Joe H. Wimberly was the champion shot, winning some 3 or 4 turkeys. There has been no drunkenness here during the week, everybody, seemed to be on their good behav ior. There is being some mdviDg ing on now, but about all' the houses in our village will be q pied. Our school prospects are some what gloomy as yet, we Jiad sbme hopes that Mr. W. F: KUlwFWettld take the school and operate ing the ensuing year, but' have heard some conflicting, reports and know nothing definite about the matter. A splendid school can be built up here by the right man. I don’t think there would be any trouble about getting 40 pupils the first term, and a good man could of course keep all he got, and increase the nnmber. Our people are very anxious, for some good man to take the scoool. The weather has been except ionally good thiB Christmas, though it is raining here now 2, p. m., and the- prospects are for a continuation for some days, after which we hope for some cold weather, so that the farmers throughout the county can butcher their hogs. I hear considerable complaint about the hogs making inroads on the corn intended for use during 1890. Wishing you and all your sub scribers a happy and successful new year, I am yours truly, Sophy Reels. Dec. 30th 1889. There was a bloody riot at Jes sup on Christmas day. A negro desperado, Bob Brewer, was drunk and exceeding boistrous and dis orderly. He resisted arrest, and killed the deputy marshal. Tlien a fight ensued, and another white citizen was wounded. Brewer and his negro friends fled to the swamp near by, and there another fight occurred, and another white citi zen was killed, and others, white and colored, were wounded. The town was in a terrible state of ex citement,and helpartEedfcsrRhid're* sponded to , r frbm‘ neighboring- towns, and military companies from Brunswick" and Savannah went to Jessup. Several arrests were made, and within 48 hours several negroes had been killed. Finally quiet was restored, though Brewer is yet at large, and the people of Jesup are vigilant. A'Teachers’ Association. Fort Valley, Ga., ) December 31st, 1889. ) Editor Home Journal: About one year ago the writer suggested the propriety of a Teachers’ Asso ciation being formed by the teach ers of Houston county. Those teachers consulted at that time ex pressed, their Approbation of the measure, agreeing that such an or ganization would infuse new life into tiie profession, dignify and elevate it in public estimation. Besides this, more money is being granted by onr legislature, and from time to lime will be granted, and this fmoney should control, and will control, a better class of teachers. Progress is all around us, and our isolated condition as teachers, will cause"us to be left, and other and more progressive teachers will be called in to take our places. Then, how are we to get out of the old ruts apd grooves and avoid the term of “old fos sils?” It is frequently asserted that there is not a first-class school rn Houston county. Why'is this so? Houston is looked upon as one of the banner counties of this state, and yet her boys and girls are sent off to other counties to be educated, and her own people do not point with pride to her schools, public or private. Then let us have the Teachers’ Association, and concoct -measures looking to our better instruction in the art of teaching. This asso ciation once formed, it would then be in order to establish a chatau- qua. This body could hold its meetings, of two or three days’ du ration, now at Perry, then at Fort Valley. This would give all the members an opportunity of re ceiving its benefits, at a very small expense, and with little loss of time and inconvenience. The best and most progressive educa tors would be invited to be pres ent on these occasions, to give us instruction in the new methods of teaching, pedagogics, etc. This association would receive the sup port and earnest co-operation of the county board of education, un der whose auspices it is proposed to establish it.
