GEORGIA HOME JOURNAL. W. ADDISON KNOWLES, Prop’r. VOLUME XIV-NUMBEK 40 SOME PLAIN TALK. THAT OUR PEOPLE MIGHT DO c, WELL TO CONSIDER. WANT OF UNITY IN DOMESTIC AFFAIRS THE ESSENTIAL DRAWBACK TO SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The following from the Greenville (S. C.) News is not altogether pleasant read ing, but it is the truth only half told. No man can read what is therein set forth without recognizing that unless as com munities the Southern people rise to the level of the demands of industrial pro gress at an early day, there can be no escape from a condition of dependent general poverty. It is futile and puerile to answer that we have not the muni ments and conditions of progress and wealth. There is no richer land extant than ours, and where our intelligence is not greatly below the mark it is equal in all respects to that of any other section of the country. As to public men, we have all through our political existence dele gated to representative and law making bodies, to Congress and elsewhere, the very best minds in America; and it is .conceded that the pronounced influence of our section, necessarily small in popu lation, has been due to the superior av erage intellect of Southern public men. Then, having al least this species of in telligent independence and excellence, why is it that in all other respects we permit ourselves to fall below the aver age of the East, West and North ? It is a fact that upon the one subject of national politics our people are incom parably and indissolubly united. This oneness of Jstatesman-like thought is the essence of the only real power the South wields in the nation. But is it not plain that other forces can be brought into compactness and unanimity,[and that they can be made just as effective and fruitful in the economy of our life and advance ment as is this solidity of political purpose. In the North communities move as one man in most things that pertain to the domestic betterment of all alike. In a Northern city six times the area and population of Greenesboro we have known the larger number of the mascu line population to turn out at night and level and grade the principal thorough fare so that the season of l-ains about to set in would not wash away the uneven surfaces. These streets were |common property, but did not affect directly a large proportion of the residents. Yet the people saw that by a union of ex penseless labor the tax for the work would be obviated and the avenue would be beautified and improved, whereby all alike must be aesthetically benefited. True, the Northern man has not the negro to indolently view his work. He is blessed with colaborers who all in some way take pride in the town. His streets are not the lounging places of a prideless, thriftless and careless class whose whole happiness consists in the utter absence of a realization of another day. But if the Northern man had this sort of presence in his city the work of improvement would nevertheless be done, for he would compel the non-productive negro to do it, and he would oversee its well-doing. We do not expect that the time will come when our people will shoulder a pick and shovel on a moonlight night and patriotically set to work for the public weal. This need not be expected while we are afflicted with a proportion of population who are almost wholly consumers. But we can at least agree as communities upon matters of public good that have been elsewhere shown to be essential and practical for the corporate benefit. A Philadelphia axiom is that “every man must clean before his own door.” It is plain that when this is done Philadelphia lias been cleaned. When a man North erects anew and imposing structure, it is often the case that his neighbors set about in some way to improve the aspect of their homes as well: and the result is that all the prop erty in that locality catches an excellent impulse and immediately ascends in value. Much has been said as to the industry of the Eastern farmer. In the South this is supposed to mean that the Eastern ag riculturist knows no rest from farm labor. On the contrary, he has nearly eight months of rest or variation from farm toil. After the heavy snows cover his acres his year’s outdoor work is done. We recall a northwestern New York farmer who worked about sixty acres in wheat, rye, buckwheat and barley. We accompanied him over his premises in the late fall. His house, situate in the centre of his farm, was a cosey, closely built cottage, beautiful to view. Within were every accessory of comfort. In his cellar were three tons of coal, purchased in the heat of summer when fuel was cheapest. In his parlor was the most modern of heating apparatus. On his centre table were books and magazines of various kinds. He subscribed for three regular papers—one addressed to im proved farming, a family paper for his household, and his county paper, which —pardon us—did not compare in respect of ability, variety and size with the Georgia Home Journal. At. some dis tance was a Stover windmill. This forced water to his flocks and cattle in the win ter, which were housed in an expensive and extravagantly painted barn, such as every traveler must have noticed through that section. Near the windmill and connected by a shaft was a work shop. In this was machinery for making apple wood tool handles. He made of this em ployment a profitable amusement. At the base of the windmill was a “sweep,” so that horse-power could be substituted when the wind was not strung. We dined at his table, and the fare was regal. In harvest time he had hired two men for six days each, and paid them livo dollars apiece and fed them. This farmer val ued bis sixty acres at S2BO per acre, and said that everything ho owned hud been earned upon the land. If this hal been an exceptional case it would be a doubtful Illustration, but iu truth there was no appearance that every one of bit neighbors wa*iiot<jultea* well off. There is also a characteristic among Northern merchants that will do to imi tate iu the South. Perhaps to some ex tent It Is imitated, hut we do not think it is generally. A mail can semi an order to a wholesale hardware establishment in a Northern city for a spool of doss silk or a sample of American sardines; Mid it will come by first conveyance. Not that flues silk or sardines are kept ia Northern hardwaia stoics, hut the )too will dispatch a rlerk elsewhere for the com mod I Hr* and forwaid them. 'I Ire paidviaic man anted* the advertising Bull of tills movement lia has merle Mac if a immanent customei afai off, and whenever vou wish a top or a tomb stone or a tin flute you will send to that firm and obtain it. Now, if one should thus send to Savannah or elsewhere in the South he would be very apt to learn that they didn’t keep those articles, if indeed they did not treat his letter with silence. Perhaps the worst feature of commer cial life, however, in the South is the mania for store-keeping, whether the en terprise has a single promise or not. A young and athletic country merchant will dawdle away the brave young years of his strength dangling his feet against the counter front day after day with scarcely a customer within range, per haps, for three-fourtlis of the year; and he sincerely believes he is doing a mer cantile business. When at unsteady in tervals a purchaser fills bis door, it is probably for a credit purchase. This im plies a high premium to the buyer or a dead loss at last to the seller. Let our readers ponder these plain and unpleasant facts. It is folly to expect emancipation from our general back wardness and poverty until our people move forward with some common agree ment and union of gait and adopt new devices and methods for their own and the general benefit. Meanwhile we commend this, from the Greenville News: [Greenville (S. C.) News.] North and South. The two sections began life together and formed a government. The South had the advantage of soil, climate and wealth. At the end of eiglity-four years the two grappled and fought. The Yan kee section came into the fight richer than the Southern section, and beat us into the ground while we did our best. Today these Yankees are rich in every thing and we are poor in everything but manhood and womanhood, and have less than we began with a hundred years back. These same Yankees furnish the bulk of the capital we use, the food we eat, the clothes wo wear, the books we read and study, the high grade teaching in the normal schools in the Southern States. Almost every convenience of life and invention of art or science we know comes from these same people who have in ten years done more with Florida than the Florida people had done in fifty. Almost any one of the large communities could buy the whole South for a park, if they liked it for that purpose. In a fight they could crush us like egg shells. In politics they are our masters and we have to hold our breath for fear of offending them. Their percentage of ignorance is one-tenth of ours. When trouble comes on us we depend on them for the most of the help, and get it. The world knows them as America aud us as outlying provinces. They are pro ducing the representative poets, painters and authors of the country, while we trail along behind with our eyes fixed on them, hardly daring to hope that we may become as strong and rich and en lightened as they are by years of hard work. The majority understand that while we were making statesmen and warriors and ruling polities the Yankees were making territory, building manufactures and training a countless army of trained minds and hands, strengthening and en lightening their masses and making them an exhaustless reserivoir of intellectual and physical power, and that if we are to share the Yankee wealth, strength and place in the world we must use some (not all) Yankee ideas and and abandon some (not all) of our own. -■ •— 111 Memoriaui. Miss Annie Moore, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moore, of the Macedonia neighborhood of Greene county, after an illness of one short week died Wednes day night, the 6tli inst. Her funeral was preached by the writer at burial ground for the family amid the sobs of a large circle of friends. This was a sad stroke to her parents, whose son, a noble boy, two years ago was called away at the same age. This dark cloud, unlike some others, has a golden border, for the writer eight years since had the pleasure of bury ing her with Christ in baptism on a pro fession of faith. She employed several terms of her young life in teaching. With mind and body well developed, she had in prospect a long and happy life. But while her church was electing messen gers to the Association below, God had chosen her to represent that Church in the General Assembly of the Church of the First Born. On her dying bed she begged her dear father, whose eyes were filled and whose heart was bleeding, to come to see her in her bright home on high. Now, dear father, get ready to go, for your darling Annie is waiting and watch ing for you!—Oh, it will be joyful, “To meet on yonder shore Where parting is no more.” W. A. O. Union Point, Oct. 11, 1880. Mrs. Mayes Jenkins. The Dark Angel has crossed the thresh old of another happy home in our county and laid his blighting touch on a wife and mother. After a lingering and pain ful illness of many long months, Mrs. Mayes Jenkins died at her home in this county on Sunday night last, aged about 40 years. Her last illness was attended with the most intense suffering, over which, from the nature of the disease, the physician’s skill could exercise but little influence. The hands of affection and friendship anticipated every wish of the sufferer, and for weeks ministered loving ly to her wishes and wants. Her death was a crushing blow to her family and friends. She leaves a husband and three children, in addition to a large cir cle of relatives, to mourn her loss. To the stricken family we extend a sincere condolence. Take Notice.

The fourth tjuar terly Conference of the Greene Circuit will be held In Gisenes C, A. 4 on A WAV, METHODIST REVIVAL. HONEST EFFORT FOB THE BETTERMENT OF ALL IN GtSEENEBBORO. On last Sunday night •v senes of pro tracted meetings was instituted at the Methodist church in our city. On that occasion the warm arid, spiritual Rev. C. A. Conaway discoursed in fervid and eloquent terms. On Monday afternoon a series of ladies prayer meetings was begun at the homes o’ members, the first being at that of Mr. J. 11. Wood. On Monday night Rev. M. J. Cofer occupied the pul pit, and with bis characteristic force and earnestness deeply impressed the congre gation. The first altar service was held on that occasion. On Tuesday evening Rev. Mr. Conaway again preached. His sermon was deep-reaching, pungent and prayerful. On Wednesday night a lay service was held, Mr. Bismuth Miller con ducting the exercises. On Thursday night Mr. Conaway again preached. At all these meetings "the pastor, Rev. W. T. Caldwell, prayerfully took part, and bad an inspiring and touching word to say in conclusion. The glowing spirituality, resonant voice and devout supplications of Brother Norman, "of Union Point, have permeated and blessed most of these services, and prayers by Messrs. .Shy and others have ascended not alone for the revival of this church, hut for the reha bilitation of the whole people of God in Greenesboro. The increase of interest has been no ticeable as the meetings have progressed, And the attendance at the church and at .the altar has nightly augmented. The meetings are in all respects prac tical. The sermons are short and point ed, and the surplus time (which is all in all limited) is given to the song service, which is conducted efficiently and cheer fully by Prof T. C. Conaway,' and enjoyed by the whole congregation. Tonight (Friday) there will be a con tinuation of the service. Omitting Sat urday night, the revival will go on into aud through the coming week. On Sun day morning at nine o’clock promptly a lay service will lie held. Everybody is cordially invited, and they are re minded that this hour has been chosen so that they can attend the regular ser vices at other churches at its conclusion. Every person connected with these interesting and profitable exercises recog nizes that the nightly drills of the Greene Rifles, notwithstanding that they have deterred many from attendance, have been essential to the efficiency of this military body, and tacy also recognize the impoitance of laving an efficient military organizations in Greene county. At the revival meetiis next week the young men will no dfcbt present them selves in force, and iey are most cor dially invited and ur to come. These services arc designed' for the good of every man, wommm and child in Greenesboro, and for the benefit of every denominational body in it. There is nothing to weary or to distract the cen tral thought and purpose, and it is hoped that all who shall interest themselves in them will feel happier and better for having done so. The ladies, young and old, have shown a persistent interest for the past week which is noted with gratitude. They have kept their side of the aisles more filled from night to night, and have min gled their dulcet voices witli the choral features. They will be with us again next week—every one of them. Let the young men and the older of Greenesboro help them and the leaders by their nightly presence. It does not cost this commu nity one dime to propagate these blessed revival efforts. The exercises begin promptly at 7 o’clock, and conclude in about an hour. A service of song, which has been a most attractive feature of the late meetings, follows the benediction, but none need tarry who wish to retire. All are free to remain. Regular service on Sunday night at 7 o’clock. The next week’s programme will then probably be announced to the congregation. RESOLUTIONS. BY THE CONVENTION OF THE WOMAN’S MISSIONARY SOCIETY, O. D.

Miss Annie was in her nineteenth year, and was just in the bloom of womanhood. Oh! what a sad thing to think of! Miss Annie was in buoyant health until about one week before she died. She was visiting her aunt in Oconee county when she was taken ill. Slio returned home with that dreadful disease, typhoid fever. On last Wednesday night a*week ago, at 11 o’clock the Saviour called her home to Heaven. Miss Annie joined the church at Macedonia when she was quite young and has ever since lived a Christian life. She expressed herself as willing to die, and we doubt not that she is now in heaven eternally with the angels. The writer had known her all his life. Even in childhood she was agreeable, and ev erybody loved her as she grew into riper age. This dual bereavement to the im mediate family and relatives was a calam ity to this community. We tender our sincerest condolence to the sorrowing ones. Put. GRESHAMVILLE. The farmers have had a splendid time for gathering their crops.

There were in attend ance besides the charming young ladies of our neighborhood, Misses Ludie, Nallie and Nellie Underwood, from Siloam; Misses Anna Alfriend and Lura Smith, of Ruth; Misses Mattie and Willie Amoss, of Hancock county, and Miss Fannie Gas sett, of Albany, Ga. Time passed off very pleasantly with a few simple plays and social chat, and some excellent music on the organ given by Mrs. D. B. Stan cliff and Miss Mattie Amoss. Oh, I tell you, it was perfectly charming. About half past nine, they began to hand around apples, candies and cakes in great abun dance, the best apples, the sweetest can dy and the most delicious cake that we ever bad the pleasure of testing. I must congratulate our young ladies on baking cake; they can’t be beat. After we bad eaten as much cake, candy and apples as we wanted, Mr. D. B. Stancliff came inand said lie would show up a menagerie in an adjoining room and all who wished to see the show could have the pleasure of going in. When W. G. came in someone asked him what animal be wished to see. He said, “I believe I had just as soon see an old monkey as anything else. The curtain dropped, and there Will stood before a large mirror to behold the ani mal he desired to see. There was great applause. Pretty soon Masnatt came in and lie was asked what animal lie wished to see, and said lie, “I would like to see an elephant.” All right, said Mr. Stan cliff, you shall see him. About that time the curtain dropped, and there Masnatt stood to behold the elephant. But he did not like his looks much, liis ears were not as large as those he had been used to seeing. Massasoit.

Bowles and his wife are good company and their friends here are always glad to welcome them. Mr. J. L. Young takes the rag off the bush in ginning. He gins from elev en to thirteen bales of cotton per day, and defies anyone to beat it. We bespeak for Mr. Young that the tiptop arrange ments of his gin, saw and grist mill in connection with his fair dealing, are win ning for him a large and deserved patron age. Alert. To our Customers aud Friends. a We sell goods for cash as cheap as they can be bought in Georgia, and our time prices this year have been lower than since the war. Our margins are neces sarily very small, and we must urge upon all, both monthly and time customers, to settle their accounts in full promptly when they fall due. On all time accounts paid before No vember 1, wo will allow a discount of 1 per cent, per month; and on all not paid by that time the same rate of inter est will be charged. We must insist on all who owe us mak ing their arrangements to settle in full by January Ist, as wo positively cannot extend credit to any one in arrears after that date. This plan we know to belto our interest, and we think our friends will agree that it is also to their advantage to settle up in full at least once a year. The above will be strictly adhered to.
