not able to work the roads, and notes

As yet. it seems the people aro
neligent in making preparation*
to the opening of Homer Ac tdemy
and. it is about time they were. In
tho first step a good teacher should
be selected If a teacher around
home can be secured, i is much
belter to parents and to the ad
vancement of the school and com
munity. You have a learned and
experienced teacher in your midst.
You have tried liirn in years past
with satisfaction to the cchool and
parents. This is Prof. Alexander,
whom the Observer refers to. You
will never prosper in good schools
if you take everybody making ap.
plication, jut to come among you
for a few months, and have a good
time, as it were. This kind of
! school is of no advantage to your
children, nor to yea.
Death of Mr, L\ A. Waters.
Capt Powell A. Waters died at
his residence on Friday morning at
1 o’clock, after a lingering and
painful illness. He was the oldest
living settler of the town of Hom
er, and was several times elected
to the responsible office of Tax
Collector, whidi position ho held
at the time of hig death.
During the war he enlisted in
the cause of the South and made
one of tho bravest and most faith
ful defenders of that cause, partic
pating in the earlier campaigns
around Richmond. But on ac
count of sickness contracted from
exposure ia the service he wu* sent
home, and afterwards entered ih
service as a member of iiegi
ment and wsa actively engaged in
the campaigns around Dalton, At
lanta and Jonesboro, and was pro
moted to the rank of captain
After the close of the war h* was
confined to his room for many
months with a disease of the hip
joint, produced by exposure in the
war, from which he never fully re
covered He has been u invalid
for several years,ami gradually de
dined in health until death claim
ed him s its victim, and he peace
fully and quiet !y passed away to *u
ter into his reward, lie w*s of a
genial disposit.ion, and evn niter
disease had emaoiated his frame.
and deprived him, seemingly, of
all earthly enjoyment, he met his
friends with a smile and never tir
ed in Ilia endeavors to render those
around him pleasant and happy.

The Public Roads.
Mr Editor: —ln the last issue
of the Observer 1 notice a commu
nication from tome one signing
himself “Salt River,’’ on the condi
tion of our public roads, I entire
ly approve of the spirit o f the arti
cle and hope that our road officials
will see to it that the recommenda
tion ot eur last grand jury i< com
plied with. 1 would be the last in
the world to make personal allu
sion to any see, b*l it i a tact that
■•me of tbe roads sronnd homer are,
as “l alt River* ’ espressos it, in a naan

not been worked ia near two years.
