From there the party will go to Savan nah, where the Misses Hook will It was the pleasure and privi lege of this writer so attend a bar becue last Friday, at the home of Mr;_, John H. Grace, about six or seven miles southwest of Perry. The affair was not arranged to celebrate any particular event, but merely to bring together the farm ers of that neighborhood, their families and friends. The neigh borhood is an extensive one— reaching to Hickory Grove on one side, to Henderson, several miles westward, across the creek north and northwest, and to Boss Hill, Invited guests were from Perry, near Fort Valley, Henderson. Hayneville, and other sections of the county. No formal programme had been arranged, and pleasure was sought and found in a free-and-easy way. The. men congregated chiefly in the grove in front of the house, and in dulged in friendly discussion of current affairs —the crops, agricul ture generally, politics, etc. The ladies, numbering nearly half the crowd, remained mostly in the house, and enjoyed them selves in singing sacred songs, ac companied by the sweet tones of an organ, deftly manipulated. In due course of time dinner was announced, and the appetites of nearly 300 people, wheijed by the savory odor that had been contin ually wafted from the barbecue pits, were fully appeased. The 18 carcases of pork, mutton, kid and beef that had been barbe cued to a marvel of brown savory- ness, under the artistic direction of Messrs. Tom Graves and George Clark, were flanked on all sides by chickens, fried and in pies, ham, salads breads, cakes, pies and things. The dinner in its entirety was immense, varied, and good beyond comparison. Nothing less than superlative anjectives could be used in referring to that din ner, therefore we will say nothing further about it, except that 500 more people could have Baton of it heartily without completely de molishing it. The dinner • was complete evi dence of the prosperous condition of the farmers who furnished it, and of the high culinary talent of the ladies who prepared it. While a dozen or more farmers combined to furnish the dinner, and joined in the reunion, and in entertaining the guests, we feel constrained to mentipu Messrs. John Grace and Jim Hickson, who were conspicuous for their atten tion to the visitors. During the day there was ice water iu plenty, and a large num ber of the best watermelons we have seen this season were cut in the afternoon. There was more music in the af ternoon, and the enjoyment of the occasion was complete. The appearance of clouds ojj the horizon caused many to start home earlier than would otherwise have beeu, and at about 4 o’clock one of the most pleasant social re-unions ever held was concluded. May we all meet again 12 months hence. ftolcDnitio.ii at Lake View. In c-.mpney Judge A. 0. Bilev, this writer attended last Saturday the annual celebration of Lake View Sunday sceool. Probably 20(1 people were there, in the school house and in the grove, when we arrived. Very soon thereafter Superintendent M. J. .Nelson called the andience order, and the exercises were open ed with a song, and prayer. Then the roll of the school was called, and many of the pupils re ponded by reciting verses from the Bible. . Then another soDg, and then Judge A. C. Biley, president of Houston County Sunday School Association, delivered a very ap propriate address, which was re ceived with many evidences of ap proval. Another song was. delightfully rendered, and then Superintendent Nelson briefly addressed the- peo ple of the community. Mr. J. H. Hodges responded briefly to the call of the superin tendent, by whom he was in troduced. President Biley then personally requested the schpol to attend in a body the Sunday school conven tion at Perry to-day, and read out the songs that would be sung. Then the assemblage was dis missed, and soon all were invited to dinner, a dinner that was both inviting and satisfying—abundant in quantity, and most excellent in quality—the variety of viands be ing sufficient to snit the appetites of all. Ice lemonade was freely furnish ed, and watermelons were plenti ful. The afternoon was chiefly de voted to singing by the young -men and ladies, Prof. N. L. Hesters leading. . The children participated grmes on the order of “many, many stars in the Heaven,” a few strolled off in “crowds of two,” and talked softly as they sat under the shade of the trees, or in buggies. Tlie older folks talked of “things in general,” and all enjoyed them selves. The affair* was decidedly a suc cess, and .we hope to again meet he good people of Lake View. They are genuinely hospitable, and altogether clever. Tharp’s Mill Movements. PENNED BY PLOW BOY. Dennard Dots. REPORTED BY THE JUDGE. A Teacher for Byron Secured. The board of trustees of Byron High School have chosen Prof. D. G. Lee principal of that school for the ensuing year. They have done well, as Prof. Lee is an in structor of fully ten years’ expe rience, fully qualified to teach, and an excellent disciplinarian. He is a thorough g ntleman in every res pect; is strictly moral in all his acts. We know him personally,and stand ready to endorse him. This he does not need, however, as all his former patrons speak well of him, and his letters of introduc tion are of the highest character. He has a wife and several chil dren. The people of Byron and vicini ty have secured an excellent teach er, a worthy successor to Prof. Ezell. Byron and Houston have secured a good, progressive citi zen. He will move with his fami ly to Byron about the middle of August, and the next term of the school will begin about the first of September. The school will surely prosper under the management of Prof. Lee. A PIANO For iclitor of THE HOME JOURNAL. visit Miss Houston at her home. —In a private letter from Bev. J. G. -Brewton, who is assisting in a series of meetings at Hender son, he requests ns to state that he will meet his congregation at Houston Factory on the fourth ‘Sunday and Saturday before, m lieu of last Saturday and Sunday, his regular appointment He fur ther announces that there will be services at the Perry Baptist church on the fourth Sunday night at the usual hour. What’s tlie Iielatiousliip? We are informed that there is an old gentleman in Houston whose three sons married sisters. The second wife of the old gentle man is a sister of the wives of his sons. Thus his wife is stepmoth er of her sisters, and his sisters-in- law are also his daughters-in-law. Children'have been born to each,— father and three sons. Can the complicated relation^ ship of the old gentleman’s chil dren to the children of his sons be told? Another week has passed, and but very little rain has fallen around Dennardyet. Already corn is damaged, and a few more days of drought will cause a serious damage to cotton. If any of our people have failed to do their duty towards the preacher, I hope they will attend to it at once. The workmen are still at work on the leak at Houston Factory, but.the grist mill will soon be ready to grind all the grain that may come. Col. H. Stafford and his better three-fourths spent last Sunday with the family of Mr. H. E. Tal- ton. A. C. Boone and family are off on a visit to relatives at Lizella. I have seen some very highly educated mules—some that were taught a great many horse ways, but with all their learning they still remained mules, and would rear up behind. All the training that can be-given him won’t make anything of him but a mule. The nigger has his peculiarities and all the education that can be given him won’t make him any thing but a nigger. I honestly be lieve that all he is or ever will be he gets by an imitation and a forced association with a superior people. If the state of Georgia were sold and the proceeds used to educating the nigger, he would still be a nigger, and sometimes rear up behind. I have no objec tion to the negro being educated, but I am opposed to white people having to foot the bill. The Dr. thinks that onr commu nity is distressingly healthy; so it seems that some benefit to the people at Just I wonder it the M. D’s. don’t some time wish during a very healthy period that some one would get just a little sick. What is one’s gain is usually another’s loss. July 22nd 1890. How are you, Mr. Editor? Our farmers have left off that ’grin” they carried last week. The drouth wos broken last Fri day aftornoon by a nice shower of rain. Crops were injured considerably by the recent drouth. Miss Jennie Sauls spent last week in Perry. Mr. J. O Sandefur spent a por tion of last week in Crawford-coun ty. Mr. J. M. Heard is erecting a new barn. Oar vicinity is on a boom again. Mr. J. B. Hunt is adding improvements to his dwell ing. Mr. Sandefur has dug him a cellar. Mr. J. E. Carney spent last Sat urday and Sunday in Bibb county. He was accompanied back by his cousin, Miss Cornelia Calhoun. A goodly number of our young sters attended the picnic at Lake View last Saturday. We failed to attend, but hear that Lee exam ined all the roads within a mile of the place. Mr. J. M. Heard and lady spent last Saturday and Sunday in Bibb connty. We understand that Mr. V. E. Heard will move to Vienna about the first of September, where he will go into the mercantile busi ness. Mr. and Mrs. Will Heritage, of Macon, are visiting their annt, Mrs. M. B. Stripling. Jim has twisted his mustach so much that he has blistered (?) his upper lip. Mr." Charlie Parker, late of Una- dilla, has again made this vicinity his home. We are glad to see him come back, and give him a hearty welcome. Mrs. F. M. King ison an extend ed visit among relatives in Mon roe county. There is not quite enough “stick- ability” among the boys to organ ize that dramatic company. Chip the tree again boys. Mr. and Mrs. Willie A. Gray are Emanuel county, circulating among their relatives and many friends. We wish them a pleasnt visit, and a safe return. Come again Uncle Dave T., probably we will have something to eat, and we won’t go from home, Mrs. —— Parham, of Crawford county, is visiting her son, Mr. H. C. Parham. Col. Stafford has equipped him self with a new traveling outfit. It is a top buggy and horse. Come up Col.,and help me to drink vege table soup and clabber. The “Lamplighters” will meet at the school house next Saturday night, where they will always meet hereafter. We hope to see a Dice crowd out, for 1 think they will be amply entertained. July 22nd 1890. Hayueville Happenings. KEPOBTED BY JOSHUA LAWEEXCE. Our community was visited with a good rain on last Sunday—the second best season we haye had this year. Fodder-pulling commenced with onr people to-day (Monday), but doubtless the yield of some will be short this season, owing to the drouth. Miss Julia Hall, of Butler, Ga. is here on a visit, the guest of Mrs. Dr. Biley. Mrs. Spence and her daughter, of Mitchell county, are visiting the family of Mr. C. C. Spence. Mr. S. F. Bivins had a surgical operation perfomed on him last week, though of a light nature, We are informed that Mr. A. P. Jones, of Henderson, while on his return from Macon, stopped over at Grovania last Tuesday night for the purpose of investing in Gro- vania lots. We think Mr. Jones would do well to invest in Grova nia property. Mr. A. E. Wimberly is now at the Hot Sulphur Springs, Fla. We truly hope that he will be re lieved of his rheumatic troubles, and return home physically a sound man. The Methodist Sunday school has treated itself to new song books. The prospect for another rail- roap near this place (the Empire and Dublin), are good. This road will cross the G. S. & F. road right at Grovaia, near Bogers & Wor sham’s gnano house. Mrs. A. E. Wimberly antici pates going to Florida soon, where she will join her husband in the remainder of his stay at the Hot Sulphur Springs. July 21,1890. Eclieeonuee News Items. WBITTEN BY PHELYX.

NELSON & JOBSON, Ferry, Ga. O. L. BENEBOE. C. E. AULTMAlt. Card to the Senatorial Com mittee. The election-dalled for the 26th of July by the senatorial commit tee being without authority from the mass meeting, and never hav ing delegated to it the authority to call primaries for Houston, and he connty executive committee being the only body having such authority, and that committee hav ing called and held, on the 7ih day of last June, a primary to nomi nate candidates for state and coun ty officers, I, as chairman of the executive .committee, having by resolution been ordered to turn over the vote for senator to the senatorial committee for consoli dation, now in behalf of the exec utive committee, demand of the senatorial committee the counting of the vote of Jane 7th,as the only legal vote of Houston. Joseph Palmer, Ch’m. Dem. Ex. Com. Oak Lawn, Ga., July 21,1890. —The ice cream festival at the armory last Friday night was quite pleasant throughout, and a success financially. The ice cream, sher bet, etc., were delicious, and the service, by young ladies beautiful ly attired, was perfect About $25 was realized, for the benefit of the Perry Baptist church. Premium for First Bale. In addition to the full market price, 1 will give a premium of Five Dollars in gold for the first bale of Houston- county cotton grown this year, and delivered to me at Perry. Respectfully, W. Bbuxsox. July 14tb, 1890. —The time for administrators, executors, and guardians to make their annual returns to the ordina ry expired on the first Monday in July, and Judge Houser requests Us to say that all who have not made their returns will save costs by coming forward without further delay. —The many friends of Mr. W. F. Bennett, who is farming on the Toomer plantation, about six miles the dry weather is west of Perry, will regret to learn that he lost his barn by fire on Tuesday night of last week. In addition to the barn, all his corn, fodder, a corn-sheller, and several other implements were destroyed. Several hogs were slightly burned, and but for the vigorous efforts of Mr. Charlie Bennett, two mules would have been burned. The loss is a severe one to Mr. Bennett, and his neighbors have generous ly “clubbed” together and given him corn enough to supply his needs for two or three weeks. —The Perry Bifles have been invited to be the guests of Fort Valley next Wednesday and Thnrs day, while the state Horticoltnral Society is inicon vention.’ there. It is probable that the company will go over for one day. —Legal advertisements—slur- iff’s sales, citations from the Comt of Ordinary, etc., for September, most be given their first publica tion next week. We had a good rain here last Friday. Crops were never more promis ing than now. The health of this section is very good at present. Some of onr young people went to the fish-fry at Holleman’s old ferry, on the Ocmulgee river, last Saturday, Miss Mollie Bason visited friends here last Saturday and Sunday. The grain crop is very poor this year. The farmers cannot get field thresh to come and thresh their grain, and they have to haul it to some stationery thresh. Messrs. James and Charley Lev erett will leave here this morning for Bibb county, where they go to build a new gin house for Mr. J. B. Thompson. We attended preaching at Fel lowship church yesterday. A large congregation was present, and Eevs. E. E. Story and John Bassett each preached a very in teresting sermon. Mr. M. Benfroe, of Wellston, was here on a business visit last Saturday. Mr. Abner Stubbs passed here last Sunday en route to Perry. GuesB Ab. means business. I notice that the Hattie corres pondent takes some exceptions to my advice to small boys, and he leaves ns a question to answer. I have jnst this much to say; that when a boy gets a pair of new shoes that pinch his feet,- he can juBtly blame no one bat himself. He asks ns to write something about the girls. Well, we do not propose to so impose on the good natnre of onr editor as to ask him for space enough to write up the many good traits of the charming young ladies of Honstop connty, but as the Hattie correspondent seeqts to be conversant with the measles, judging from his last communication, and it being too wet for him to go oat, we desist, and leave that for him to do. as he can’t well be out to do anything else. The piece we wrote was in tended for small boys, but we have heard of half a dozen grown yonng men who have taken excep tions at it Don’t put yonr right shoe on yonr left foot, if you do, it will pinch yonr toes.
