VOLUME XIV-NUMBER 37
OUR COURT WEEK.
THE AUTUMN TERM LACKING
IN .LEGAL INTEREST.
BUT NOTICEABLE FOR A CULTURED AND
LARGE ATTENDANCE FROM MANY
PARTS OF THE STATE -
Greene Superior Court opened at this
place on Monday last at 10 o’clock, his
Honor Judge Thomas G. Lawson pre
siding. The attendance of straugers and
spectators was about as usual, but the
docket contained no cases of great inter
est.
Judge Lawson impressively charged
the grand Jury in reference to those mal
efactions that proceed from the sale, pur
chase and use of intoxicating liquors, and
dwelt extendedly on the laws relating to
the crime of gambling in every form. He
admonished the jury that card playing
and games of chance for gain or wager,
whether on a large or very insignificant
scale, was all the same a misdemeanor
under the law, and that the possession
and keeping on the premises bv any per
sons of cards, globes, dice or other im
plements employed in games of chance
were forbidden and punishable by law.
As to minors, he warned that the use of
billiard tables, whether for amusement
or gain, by minors, rendered the owners
or possessors of such tables liable to pre
sentment by the grand jury and of pun
ishment by the law. The sale of liquors
to minors was also a flagrant violation of
law, and rendered the person or dealer
so selling liable to the law.
The above were the salient points of
Judge Lawson’s somewhat brief charge,
and at its conclusion the grand jury re
tired and the court took a short recess.
Among the attendants on the court
proceedings from other parts of the State
we record the names of Maj. J. B. Cnm
ming, Augusta; John. C. Reed, Atlanta;
Judge D. B. Sanford, Milledgeville;
Hamilton McWhorter, Esq., Lexington;

of farm life.
Solicitor Whitfield.
Col. Robert Whitfield, Solicitor-Gener
al, is a scholarly, graceful and courteous
gentleman, whose talents fit him with
singular appropriateness for the high
and intricate labors of the position he
fills. He is very popular in Greene coun
ty-
Captain William Armstrong.
Editors Home Journal:
Already the election fiend is abroad.
Certain persons have recently been indus
triously endeavoring to create the im
pression tha! Captain Armstrong was a
weak candidate in liis own district—the
Fork.
Now, among his life long friends and
with all those who know the Captain and
know Of his undeniable popularity at
home, such a report would hardly need
notice, not to say contradiction.
The fact is that Captain Armstrong
will probably poll nineteen twentieths
of the votes in his own neighborhood.
Any statement materially at variance
with this assertion is cither erroneous or
uutruo. We deem it but the simplest
iustioo to this gentleman that everybody
iu the county should be teld that his vote
where lie is best perhaps known, that is
to say, iu VJhi Pork neighborhood, will bo
vary neat ly unanimous.

GRAND JURY. r
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS OF GREENE’S
INQUISITORIAL COTERIE.
We, the Grand Jury chosen and sworn
for the September Term, 1880, of Greene
Superior Court, beg leave to make the
following presentments.
GENERAL PBESKHTMENTS.
We recommend the appointment of the
following Notaries Public, to-wit: For the
147th District, G. M., John M. Colclough;
and for 149t1i District, G. M., C. F. Jones.
We have examined the records of the
Ordinary and Clerk of the Superior Court
and find them neatly and correctly kept.
In examining the Digest of the Tax
Receiver we find it neatly and correctly
made out, showing the amount of the tax
able property in the county to be $2,172.-
683, which is an increase over last year of
$33,567, reflecting credit upon the dili
gence and efficiency of J. P. Wagnon, our
Tax Receiver.
COUNTY TREASURY.
We have examined the books and
vouchers of the Treasurer, and find that
they reflect credit upon that officer, Jas
B. Park, Jr., on account of the methodical
and neat manner and correctness in which
they are kept. The revenues of Ihe county
from all sources siuce the March Term of
the Superior Court, including the balance
on hand at that time, amount to $4,545.83,
and the disbursements on various county
orders, for all of which he has proper
vouchers, amount to $4,545.85.
We find upon examining the Dockets ot
the County Judge, that he has received
since the March Term of the Superior Court
$457.48, all of which has been paid into tin
county treasury. Wc find that our cfficienl
Ouunty Judge, in the performance of his
duties, reflects honor upon himself for the
manner in which he has faithfully discharg
ed his duties, and the County Court under
his administratron is a great saving to the
tax payers of our county.
PAUPER FAKM.
We find upon investigation that most or
the buildings on the Pauper Farm need
some repairs, and we hereby call the atten
tion of the County Commissioners to same.
We find the paupers in the county, thir
ty-three in number, are comfortably provid
ed for, and we recommend that the ques
tion as to receiving and providing for tin
puupers be left to the discretion of tin
County Commissioners; and we take this
occasion to commend the faithful discharge
of the duties and trusts which huve been
reposed in thorn.
We reoommend thst the County Com
missioners make sfcjcli prevision for the
maintenance of Greene 11. Thompson with
some friend of his as in their judgment may
be best, looking to his comfort as well as
the interest of the county.
court nousE,
We recommend that the northeast corner
of the Court House be so repaired as to pre
vent the damage resulting from leakage or
a defective gutter. Wc find the jail well
kept, and the prisoners well provided for ;
and we call the attention of the Couhty
Commissioners to the practicability of mak
ing some arrangements for warming the
jail in winter.
PUBLIC ROADS.
We find that a number of public roads
arc in bad condition.
The road leading from Penfield by R. L
McWhorter’s, Sr., and from Shiloh to
Woodville by Mrs. Tiller’s, and the road in
the 163d district leading from the junction
of the Greeuesboro and Sparta road by
Walker’s Church and by 11. C. Wright’s
to Beavcrdam Creek, and the road in
101st- district, on the road from William
Armor’s to the Parks Ferry, and the
road at Fuller’s branch from Penfield to
Greenesboro, are in a very had condition
and we call attention to the same.
RICIILAND CHEEK BRIDGE.
We also call attention to the bridge
at Leslie’s Mill and Greenbriar Creek.
We recommend the building of a bridge
over Richland Creek on the road lead
ing from Penfield to White Plains. We
also call attention to the practicability
of changing the road near Mrs. Tiller’s on
the road from Shiloh to Woodville.
We call attention of the County Commis
sioners to the generally bad condition of
our public roads and request that they use all
the powers conferred upon them have to
the roads put m good condition.
GLANDERED MULE.
It having come to our knowledge that
Warren Collins, col., owns a mule affected
with glanders, the same being a contagious,
dangerous and incurable disease, endanger
ing the stock of the community, and believ
ing that said mule is a public nuisance, we
recommend that the County Commissioners
have said mule appraised and paid for out
of the County Treasury and have it killed
and burnt.
Wc recommend that the pay of Jurors
and Court bailiffs for the Superior Court
for the year 1887 be two dollars per diem
each.
COMPLIMENTARY.
In parting with his Honor Judge Thomas
G. Lawson and Solicitor General Robert
Whitfield, we return thanks for their

TALLULAH FALLS!
ROYAL MAROON AMONG THE
MOUNTAIN PASSES.
AN ESTEEMED CONTRIBUTOR’S NOTES
OF A RECENT JAUNT WITH THE
JOLLIEBT OF TOURISTS.
For several weeks past our young peo
ple of Union Point and some of the older
ones also have had their hearts set on
a wagon trip through the country to
Tallulah falls. Tuesday morning three
two-horse wagons were in readiness and
by 10 o’clock the merry party, whose
faces were beaming with joyous antic
ipation of the pleasures which the near
by future held in store for them, were en
route for the falls. Notwithstanding
the lateness of the starting we left 31
miles behind us before night. The par
ty halted for the night at the hospitable
home *of Mr. Z. Daniels, within nine
miles of Athens, where they were re
ceived with a genuine old time welcome
by Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, who not only
threw open the doors of their pretty
country homo to us but also opened the
beautiful gates of two of the kindest
hearts that it has ever been our good
fortune to meet with. Any one who can
not appreciate the kind attention shown
and the hearty reception accorded by
Mr. and Mrs. Daniels to those who enter
beneath their roof don’t know how to
appreciate the good tilings of this life.
There will always remain in our hearts
a green spot set apart for the names of
Mr. D. and his estimable lady.
While we were resting from the fat
igue incident to the long journey that
we had made that day, and were passing
the pleasant evening hours away chatting,
joking and retrospecting the varied de
lights of the day through which we had
passed, and storing away in memory’s urn
many sweet forget-me-nots that we had
culled from the pleasant experiences of
this first day of our journey, faces which
only a few minutes before were perfect
indices of happy hearts were suddenly
transformed into pages of deathly palor
whereon the hand of fear had stamped
the mortal dread that had gained pos
session of their souls. We were not long
in realizing that we were experiencing
an unusully severe earthquake shock. I
ween there was not one amoagst us whose
spirits did not quake in unison with
the convulsive trombling of the earth. It
would be hard to say who went out of the
house with the greatest speed, the boys
or the girls, but in their Right they evineed
a supreme contempt her snoh things as
hats and shoes. The house seemed to
be in imminent danger of being demol
ished by the shock, and there was a gen
uine stampede towards the various exits
of the place wherein we had been resting
with a feeling of perfect security. I think
some little prayers, that night, were
murmured by lips that had long been
unused to praying. Soon, however, quiet
was restored and our party laid them
selves down to rest, if not to sleep.
After the night of horrors had lifted its
sable curtains off the terrified world, the
morning sun rose in trauquil splendoi
above the eastern hills, greatly reassuring
our hearts and inviting us to continue
our journey through the beautiful coun
try which had already begun to unfold
to our sight a panorama of exquisite
loveliness. On either hand the wood
lands were still dressed in their vestures
of “living green,” defying the withering
power of Summer’s sun and waiting for
the magic touch of that uuscen hand
which in autumn days shall change the
emeyald sheen of the wiidwood into
pictures of crimson and gold. Notwith
standing the picturesque beauty of the
country around us, we find a portion of
the road to be anything but smooth and
comfortable—in many places we find it to
be, like
The winding paths of sin,
A rugged road to travel in.
However, the little inconveniences we
experience on account of the roughness
of the road in some places we hardly no-,
tice at all, for they are too slight to
cause anything more than a tiny ripple
on the brightened surface of the pleas
ure stream upon which our happy, buoy
ant spirits are afloat today.
The happy morning is waning. The
bright September sun which has bright
ened our morning way has almost touched
the' meridian, and a slight sensation of
weakness and an “aching void” in the
vicinity of our vest pockets force up
on us the realization that we are still
mortal and need a sandwich now and
then.
Here we are, gathered beneath the
spreading shade of beautiful trees on a
gently sloping hillside.
While at our feet with ceaseless beat
The waters murmur low and sweet.
From the crystal stream below us the
boys are filling pitchers, glasses, etc., and
the ladies are spreading before our eyes
a royal repast that would do credit to
the best hotel in the land.
Oh! how pretty our girls do look as
each lends a helping hand to tne prepar
ation of our noonday dinner! Tour
correspondent, after having offered to
serve the ladies in any capacity, from
a water-carrier to a sardine eater, and
finding that his services are not in de
mand in either capacity, just at present
has seated himself with his back against
a tree in closo proximity to that part
of the table where roast chicken and bus
cuits predominate, and with his barlow
knife iu hand is calmly waiting for the
word go.
By the way, let mo tell you a little love
making I have just overheard between a
young feller and a very pretty girl of our
party: •
“Love I, lion?” the young man cried;
“ 'Tourso I do,” the maid replied,
“Como, buss I then,” the feller said;
And so she did, that pretty maid.
Now I do not intend to mention the
names of tho parties, for that would he
unkind. 1 was young once niysolf, have
traveled the same bright way ami gath
ered the same thornless Dowers that only
bloom in youth's sweet tiiaa, so I believe
in allowing the young Heerta to gather
the roses while tliuy may,
The preliminaries are over, and dinner
Is ready. The happy ones me forming a
circle as they set themselves tu Oriental
fashion around the tempting nu-ai so
nicely prepared by the akslstaucu and tin
der the supervision of Mrs. W., Mrs. 8.
and Mrs. C, We judge from the satisfied
expression oil the faces of these estima
ble ladies that they experience a certain
degree of pride in the large aud joyous
fumlly over which they preside. How
glad we are to have them with its. They
have entered into Ihuspirit of every joke,
shared iu the enthusiasm produced by
i the beautiful and varied scenery by the
j way, and iu the gentlest and sweetest
way possible have done all in their power
to promote the happiness of the entire
party, and the success which has crown
ed their efforts is attested by the exalted
position they occupy in our esteem and
tho strong hold they have on the affec
tions of each and every one of our num
ber. What would we have done without
them ?
Dinner is over and our caravan is mov
ing forward. Fatty has perched his fra
gile form (of 240 pounds weight) upon
the front seat of one of the wagons and is
pulling the reins over General Lee and
Nebuchadnezzar He says his girl is in
that wagon and he is going to do the
driving himself.
Parson B. 11. and his girl have decided
to walk awhile. I think he has some
thing sweet to tell her and doesn’t want
the crowd to hear it.
Mrs. C., Mrs. W. and Mrs. S. said they
wanted to ride together in the rear wagon
and as they are now so close to us we can
see them, we understand why they want
ed to travel in the last wagon. Bless me!
if they ain’t sound asleep, all three of
them! Henry Clay and his flame are in
the same wagon with the sleepers, and I
know by the earnest wav in which he is
talking that he is “making hay while
the sunshines.” Clay is not very demon
strative as a rule, but like that wingless
insect gets there just the same.”
Mike and Miss (?) have gone on a little
ahead; he is now helping her over a thir
teen rail fence into a cornfield. This
event prognosticate that we will have
roasted corn for dinner tomorrow.
And I, what am I doing all this time ?
It will be a breezy forenoon when I get
left. lam on top of a big stack of boxes,
bedding, etc., in the baggage wagon,
where I catch the whole crowd. Close
by my side sits one of tho sweetest girls
“that e’er the sun shono on.” The sun,
however, is not shining on her now, for
she is holding my umbrella over us both
and says she is not going to let me hold
it until I write a verse or two for her. So
if I must I suppose I must. She thinks I
am going to write something about the
beautiful landscapes, etc., but I don't
propose to waste tliis opportunity of tell
ing her “where hurts me.” So hero
goes—
Pretty maiden, close beside me,
Listen! and forbear to chide me
If my heart grows bold, revealing
Something of that tender feeling—
Pure affection deep and true —
Living in my heart for you.
Could I ever walk beside you
From the storms of lifo to hide you—
Could I take from each tomorrow
, Every touch of pain or sorrow
That the future holds for thee
I’d bear them all ummu'm’riugly.
And my reward your loving smile—
Lifo would bo springtide all the while.
Well, this ik the beginning of the third
dayef our trip. We spent last night at a
little farmhouse. We retired quite early.
Soon after we had extinguished our tal
low candles and a death-like silence reign
ed throughout the house, we heard a
voice of ineffable sweetness crying “Av
ee, Av-ee!” that seemed to float upon the
evening air, passing and repassing our
open windows and then gradually dying
away upon the distant hills. Our first
thought was that some sweet-voiced ru
ral maiden was going to favor us with the
Ave Maria, but as the only sound audible
to our ears was “Av-ee, Oh! Av-ee,” we
concluded that we were mistaken. We
mentioned the fact of this mysterious
serenade to our host this morning, but he
could not explain it, so we are under the
impression that we stayed all night in a
haunted house. The first thing that
greeted our ears this morning was the
sweet voice of one of the young ladies
(just a little before day) singing in a very
plaintive manner the following lines:
Oft in the stilly night
E’er slumber’s chain hath bound me
I watch by candle light;
The bed-bugs gather ’round me.”
I feel like one who sleeps alone,
A prey to all the chinches;
And each one gnawing to the bonfe,
Devouring me by inches.
At last, after a hve days' traveling, we
are all here at Tallulah. We arrived last
Sunday night (Saturday) just before sup
per time. “Jody” came in on the 10:20
train last night and we were all delighted
to see him. He has missed a great deal of
fun by not coming through with wagons
instead of railroading it for a hundred
miles. The register of the Cliff House
shows that our party are all here. How
the hotel clerk did open his eyes and
stare at us as Mike nourished a goose
quill around his head a time or two ami
wrote the following names: Mrs S H Sib-]
ley, Mrs M L Watson, Mrs J A Cromer J
Misses Emma Williams, Mamie Williams,
Ava Watson, Jennie Hart, Jennie Sibley,
Pink Hart; Messrs. A C Albright, B F
Holliday, H R King, W T Bryan, G B Mc-
Laughlin, B F McCay. )
Notwithstanding the fact that today is
Sunday, we were all up at a very early
hour tliis morning, and by breakfast
time we had walked quite a long distance
feasting our eyes on the beauty and gran
deur of the magnificent scenery that
abounds here. I for one own up to it,
that these Falls, mountains, grand
chasms, etc., form a picture that far sur
passes anything that imagination had
painted. After breakfast was over our
entire party started off on another long
walk which lasted until about 2p. m.
We determined to see all that could be
seen, and this determination led us
through some dangerous paths whore it
was with difficulty that we secured any
foothold at all. However, it is over now
and we are glad that we wont, although
we tremble wheu we think what a narrow
span it was between those perilous paths
and eternity, into which one false step or
a crumbling stoue might have hurled us
without a second’s warning.
Some of our party have visited the
falls, mountains, etc., of other parts of
our country hut none of these possess
for us those charms that we discover
here ? Perhaps it is because the admira
tion we feel for thiH beautiful place, is
surrounded by a halo of pride when we
remember that tho leaping waters and
grand old mountains of Tallulah belong
to and form a part of our own loved
Georgia. We return to our hotel ami
spend a quiet hut pleasant afternoon and
evening.
Monday night finds iis at Clarkesville a
beautiful little village about thirteen
miles froiu Tallulah. Tomorrow the par
ty, or rather nearly all of them, will start
for Naeeochee Valley. Jody anti I, uu
account of pressing business engage
ments, are forced to sever our connection
I with this happy crew at tills place.
Would that we reiild continue with them
!We have told all good live, and the last
I wagon Is nearly out <>f sight, and our
! hearts have gone with them. Jody is
! crying, and my heart has crawled up Into
I my throat.
Well, we have all hud s glorious time.
There msy lie other bright days awaiting
us in the future, hut none will seem

Messrs. S. n. D. and C. D. Durham,
two of our classic young men, naid a vis
it to Phillips’ last Saturday and Sunday.
They report quite a pleasant time.
ham’s stands, perhaps, the oldest apple
tree in the county. It numbers between
50 and 70 years, and is still bearing lus
cious fruit; more this year than mauy
before.
Wo are exceedingly happy to have
our Sunday night prayer meetings so well
attended and so much interest manifest
ed in them. We do hope that all, both
old and young in our vicinity and neigh
boring communities, will come fo the
prayer meeting, not simply because we
have invited you or because your curios
ity leads you there, but come to worship
God with your whole heart.

AN OUTRAGE!
HOW WILL THE PEOPLE OF 6REENE
COUNTY LIKE THIS PILL?
On September 4 the voters of this
county elected anew County Executive
Committee principally because they did
not admire certain members of the old
one, and because the people themselves
wanted a voice in the selection of this
committee. *■
This new committee was enlarged to
thirty-two members. On Wednesday last,
without public notice or advertisement,
about one-third of this thirty-two com
mitteemen (whose names do not appear
in the official proceedings of Wednes
day’s meeting) met at the court house
and utterly upset the known spint,
import and purpose of the reoent elec
tion, as follows :
Ist—They went outside of precedent
and the clear intent of the election by
electing a chairman not himself elected on
the County Executive Committee.
2d—They elected Mr. Columbus Heard
chairman of the County Executive Com
mittee for the next two years
Now, with all respect to Mr. Columbus
Heard, and in the interest of the whole
people as well as of those members who
were from whatever cause absent from
this aforesaid meeting of Wednesday, we
submit that Mr. Heard has no more
right to be considered in any sense a
member of the Executive Committee of
Greene connty than is any other citizen
who was not elected by the voters to
serve upon it.
The Committee is clearly presumed and
entitled to elect its chairman fro m
among its own elected members. They
alone are the recognized Executive Com
mittee, unless popular elections are
wholly farcical and fallacious.
Tho whole committee is called to meet
in this city on Saturday, Sept. 25. We
trust every man will be present and
act with correct and manly decision
in this matter. Whatever the commit
tee shall do in its full and deliberate
judgment we suppose will suit the
people, and whatever suits the people
will satisfy the Home Journal.

Thore wild a nice sociable given at
Mr. R. B. McKee’s on last Friday even

Cotton is opening slow, therefore
the farmers will be late in the fall gather
lug it.
There has been mope hay saved
in the Fork this year than has ever been
before.
... .We are needing rain very much at
the time of this writing; cotton will be
cut off considerable.
Mrs. John Knott, of Morgan, died
last week. The bereaved family have
our sincere sympathy.
....There has been lately a good deal
of sickness in the Fork, owing, we think,
to the changeable condition of the weath
er.
There will he more upland corn
raised this year than for years. The
farmcr that raised upland corn is in
luck, for river bottom is a failure.
..... Miss Emma McWhorter, a most at
tractive and accommodating young lady
of Gresliamville, is absent on a visit to
Gordon county, where we trust her stay
will be a most delightful one.
... .Mr. Johnie Swanson, who has been
in Florida for two years, returned home
on last Sunday for a short visit. Every
one was glad to see Johnie, for he is liked
by all. They all unite with the writer in
wishing him a good time while here.
Mr. Robert Turnell caught two
carp last week weighing two and half
pounds apiece. It is supposed that these
are some of the ones that were put in
the river at Oconee bridge several years
ago by order of the government and
had wandered up this far, seven or eight
miles up the Appalachee, where they
were caught.
