ESPRIT DU CORPS.
SPLENDID SEND OFF FOR THE
NEW GREENE RIFLES.
GREENESBORO AGLOW WITH PRIDE AT
•THE MARTIAL PROMISE OF HER
FINE MILITARY CORPS.
Greene county gave a royal recognition
to her new military proteges on Friday
night, and she did not give an iota more
than they deserved and appreciated. If
there has be6n one thing in particular in
■which Greeneßboro has put her whole
spirit and planted her enthusiastic faith,
that thing was the crystallization of the
young, vigorous and knightly elements of
her communities into a military organiza
tion in which she might glory and of
which the whole State should be proud.
The public celebration of the timely fru
ition of this treasured hope—albeit it was
in truth more the revival of an honored
corps whose standard was furled amid the
ruins of war, than the creation of an en
tirely now one—set Greenesboro agog and
thrilled it with the heartiest and happiest
sympathies.
The company is undoubtedly a success
rn all that could be made to contribute
to that desirable end in fullest measure.
'They are generally young, brave and sol
■ dierly, are well and efficiently officered,
are handsomely and strikingly uniformed,
■ exceptionally proficient in drill, even at
this early stage of their organization,
:are creditably disciplined, are gentlemen,
and, better than all, are loved, admired,
: sustained and championed by the ladies.
The following is the roster of the

The beneficiary entertainment for the
uniform fund divided interest with the
Company itself, and on Friday afternoon
and evening Zimmerman’s Hall was pack
ed from 4 till 0 o’clock with voracious
hosts who plied the nimble knife and
fork with deft and deafening regularity
at a spread of delicious morsels provided
by the big hearts of the whole county
and served by the following excellent,
indefatigable and übiquitous committees
,-of ladies:

During the late afternoon the company
-were engaged at tiler armory on business
.consideration, and when they at length
-fell in it was to proceed to the court
’.house, where, at 8 o’clock, they stacked
■arms, and thence proceeded to the court
room, which was densely filled with citi
zens of both sexes, who had assembled to
applaud the chaste and pertinent address
of Hon, Joel A, Billups, of Morgan coun
ty. The speaker was frequently applaud
ed during his Weil delivered remarks,
-and made a fine impression upon his
audience.
Among the very thoughtful, fraternal
and pleasant incidents of the day was the
arrival of a delegation from the Clinch
Rifles of Augusta, Capt. I. C. Levy, con
sisting of Quartermaster Sergeant H. S.
Shaw, Corporal H. H. Mangum, and Pri
vates L. F. Milligan and E, D, Nave, in
the strikingly tasteful uniform of their
histone corps. Col. Billups very kindly
and frequently alluded to this pet com
pany of Augusta. At the conclusion of
his address the pleasant references were
responded to by Mr. Bismuth Miller, an
honorary member of the Clinch Rifles.
After the speaking the Greene Rifles
fell in for supper, and fell with avidity
upon the sumptuous viands awaiting
their indulgence at Zimmerman’s Hall.
At the feast the Clinch Riflemen were
their guests.
The supper ended, a bon lire drill, after
considerable marching and countermarch
ing in company movements, took place
and was prolonged with striking profi
ciency. It is not often that anew and al
most uiitried company will essay a “prize”
drill on its first public appearance; but
this company did so with great credit,
; and disclosed some notable individual in
stances of tactical merit. We have seen
troops many months in the Confederate
service, drilled daily in “awkward
squads,” and they have shown far less
proficiency after the tedium than did.
these somewhat hastily ami imperfectly
disciplined young soldiers on Friday
night. The prize contest resulted in the
jtslm falling to First Sergeant A. L. Bick
ers, of Gneneehoro, after a hard and pa
tient eoutsuit which dwindled to a dual
trial for twenty minutes between himself
and Private J. K. Hart, of Union Point,
after all otlters had lieen severally retir
ed. It wasan admirable test of skill, and
was lost hy the Uuion Point contestant
|>y the merest error of movement.
All In all, it was a gala occasion, and

THE REVIVAL.
EARNEST PRAYER AND HONEST LABOR
NIGHTLY FOR OCR TOWN.
Three weeks ago a series of meetings
was begun in the Methodist church under
the auspices of the pastor, Rev. W. T.
Caldwell, with the help of a few others of
the clergy and laity. The first week was
consecrated to the work of bringing the
children to the Saviour and to strength
ening the denominational Sabbath school.
These meetings were conducted by Rev.
George G. Smith, and it is hoped will
show good results in due time.
The second week was addressed more
especially to the good of adults. In this
labor the pastor has been faithfully and
untiringly assisted by the Rev. C. A. Cona
way, Mr. Norman, of Union Point, Mr.
Bismuth Miller and one or two other
laymen. The results of the first week
were outlined in our last paper.
The third week of the protracted work
was ushered in on Sunday last by a lay
service. The exhortation was made by
Mr. Bismuth Miller, and Messrs. W. H.
Branch and A. S. Seals, of the Baptist
denomination, assisted. . The latter
brethren on that day kindly deferred
their own meetings, and the result was a
very large and attentive congregation.
On Sunday night the Rev. Messrs. .Cona
way and Caldwell (having severally
preached elsewhere in the day) returned,
and took up the thread of the series, and
a large assemblage listened to a warm
and glowing sermon by Mr. Conaway.
The meetings have thus been going on
nightly all the present week. At these
occasions Prof. T. C. Conaway has been
untiring and obliging in behalf of the
musical accessory, .and the song service
has been given a fitting prominence and
emphasis.
It may be said that a sincere effort has
been made to have service short, inter
esting and devout. It has been deemed
advisable to surround it by local charac
teristics, so that when the devotions have
ceased there will be no special attraction
to depart with them, and thus, perhaps,
remove the entertaining factor. It is
hoped that, as the laborers are all resi
dents, the good fruits will remain with
the community. There has been no ef
fort at fine preaching, fine praying nor
fine singing. It has been plain heart
work, dedicated to God and directed to
the repentance and salvation of persons
of all conditions and creeds, white and
black.
The best thinkers among our people
are convinced that a reawakening of the
religious faith of Greenesboro is essential
as a condition precedent to all temporal
blessings whieh we crave. Denied a
hearty co-operation and the nightly pres
ence of our own people, no spiritual ad
vancement can be hoped for, and the
faithful labors of the few must go unrec
compensed by the coveted reward of the
many. Greene county within a few
months has attained to a plane of reli
gious experience which has singularly
blessed her citizens of all classes. It is
when, from this inspired height, one
gazes down into the sterile vale where
lay Greenesboro, that he is forced to see
how little religion we have and how much
we need. The day will come to all—and
come all too late—when they may vainly
lift their hearts and vainly look for help.
When God has at length put His hand
upon the idols of this town, and swept
away its gilded altars, then there will be
prayers and pleadings indeed, but they
will avail nothing.

County Sunday School Association at

The Military finest*.
The handsomely uniformed and person
ally handsome young representatives of
the Clinch Rifles—Messrs. Shaw, Milligan,
Nave and Mangum—made a fine impres
siou upon our people, and more than
impressed the young ladies. They were
placed under the special chaperonage of
Lieut. Young in the afternoon, who in
troduced them at large to the Greene
Hides and to hosts of our citizens. At
uiglit they were conducted to the banquet
hall by the courtly and soldierly Ser

enjoyment of the visit and bore away
with them Greenesboro’a best wishes

lingering with that fatal disease, con
sumption, survived her husband but a
few years, when she too was called upon
to die, leaving a family of four children,
three boys and one girl. Quite young
the girl took the place of the mother as
best she could, while the boys continued
on with the farm, using tlieir own judg
ment and every economy possible. The
girl grew to womanhood in a short while,
and like most girls got married, leaving
the boys to cook ana farm. Not to be
outdone, however, the smallest of the
boys donned the cook apron and went
right ahead, and today they can cook as
respectable a meal as one could wish.
They have managed remarkably well,
and today tlieir note is as good as gold.
Go it jolly, good-hearted souls, you have
merited success.

....There will probably be enough
cotton made to pay all debts and leave
a balance to begin another year's business
on in a small way.
... .There are so many candidates that
some of them don’t seem to know what
in the world they aro running for. Sup
posed, because everybody else is running.

HOW VERY LIKE EACH OTHER ARE HE
AND BROTHER BLAINE.
If any thoughtful man can fail to see
the one idea permeating both the follow
ing extracts then it will go a long way
in proof of the fact that “none are so
blind as they who will not see.”
We present parallel utturances, the
first from the lips of the Archangel
of Puritan Radicalism and the other
from the lips of the new Messenger of
Mongrel Equality among the races.
Either extract will do for the other, and
both are good matter for sober reflection
in the South. The first of these immac
ulate howlers was instrumental in estab
lishing in the South the Bureau Bank
which sponged up the poor earnings
of the Freedmen to fatten the fists of
Radical managers. The second of these
immaculate creatures now proposes to
have another sort of a bureau for the
negroes —a Labor Bureau. Judging by
the past, this latest contrivance is to
have a little slot cut through the top of
it. The negro laborer will drop his
little all into that slot. Then the Rad
ical keyliolder will at the right time un
lock the Bureau drawer and rifle it of its
deposits, as the Radical keyholder did
with the Freedman’s Bureau Bank.
If the negro has not wit enough to
keep his finger out of this trap, he can
at leaßt depend on his best friend—the
white man in the South—catching the
keyholder in the flick of time. Read
the following;
POWDERLY.
Southern labor, re
gardless of its color,
must learn to read
and write. Southern
cheap labor is more
a menace to the
American toiler than
the Chinese, and
this labor must be
educated. Will my
critics show me how
the laws of social
equality will be
harmed by educat
ing the colored man
so that he may know
how to conduct him
self as a gentleman ?
Will thev explain
how the knowledge
of the laws of his
country will cause
him to break the
laws of social equal
ity ? Will they in a
cool, dispassionate
manner explain to
me whether an ed
ucation will not el
evate the moral
standard of the col
ored man and will
, they tell line that
jsuch a thing is not
necessary ? Will it
be explained tome
whether the black
man should con
tinue to work for
starvation wages
with so many able
bodied colored men
in the South who
do not know enough
to ask for living
wages ? It is not
hard to guess that
while this race con
tinues to increase in
numbers and igno
rance prosperity will
not even knock at
the door, much less
enter the home of
the Southern labor
er, and that country
that has an abun
dance of ill-feed, ill
bred laborers is not
and cannot be a
prosperous one. In
the field of labor and
American citizen
ship we recognize
no line of race,
creed, politics or
color. fi

BLAINE.
The colored me
chanic at the South
is not so skillful a
workman nor so in
ligent a man as you
are, but if he will
lay brick in anew
cotton factory in
South Carolina at
half the price you
are paid, if he will
paint and plaster at
the same low rate,
he is inevitably
erecting an industry
which, if the same
rate of wages be
maintained through
out, will drive you
out of business or
lead you to the gates
of his own poverty.
The situation is,
therefore, plainly
discernible, viz. :
First —if the Demo
cratic party shall
succeed, as they
have been annually
attempting for the
last twelve years
past, to destroy the
protective tariff, the
artisans of„tlie Uni
ted States will be
thrown into direct (
competition withjthe!
highly skilled and;
miserably paid labor
of Europe. Second
—lf the Democratic
party shall be able
to hold control of
the National Gov
ernment the colored
laborer in the South
ern States will re
main where the
Southern Democrats
have placed him po
litically, subject to
the will of the white
man and unable to
fix the price or com
mand the value of
his labor. The col
ored man will there
fore remain a con
stant quantity in the
labor market, re
ceiving inadequate
compensation for his
own toil, and stead
ily crowding down
the compensation of
white labor, if not
to his own level, yet
far below its just;
and adequate stan-i
dard.

Wo have received the following:
Editors Home Journal:
The last issue or two of the Home
Journal contained an inquiry as to the
ulterior objects of the K. of L. Do you
desire an article answering that inqury ?
If so, how much space will you allow me ?
I was the original organizer of the K. of
L. in Georgia. Therelore,T can speak au
thoritatively. Yours,
H. N. Cramer.
ANSWER.
If Mr. Cramer will agaiii refer to past
numbers of the Home Journal ho will
find that we there have considered our
own question fully if not satisfactorily
answered hy the acts of the K. of L. in
various parts of the country. If Mr.
Cramer wishes to endorse these acts,
(which are stated in these papers) it
will requre very little space. If he will
repudiate them, it will need no more.
In either event, it will not affect the
things done. We are not seeking to
know the ulterior object of the local
Knights of Labor. We will judge that
by the test of future developments.
We are now discussing and exposing the
insidious motives of a so-called national
body whose impudence ought to be re
buked and denounced by Southern
Knights of Labor. On this subject we
will lie pleased to hear from Mr. Cramer,
or any on e else who can speak with
authority,
Mr. Frauk W. Holt.
We take especial pleasure in noting
that this young anil talented citizen, late
of Katonton and a native of Greenesboro.
is now taking his first course of medical
lectures at Atlanta, preparatory to em

HOW THE HOME JOURNAL IS
READ AND VALUED.
THE BEBT SORT OF TESTIMONIAL TO A
NEWSPAPER WHICH STRIVES TO
DESERVE APPRECIATION.
Without ado, almost without previous
mention, the Home Journal presents
to its thousands of subscribers and read
ers such an edition as never before em
anated from the office of a journal which
was generally classed under the generic
name of a “country newspaper.” In
May last, when these sheets] contain
ed fifty two and one-half columns of
paid for advertising matter, representing
about eighty odd advertisers, it was
itself the climax of interior journalistic
enterprise up to that date, and the effort
ranked many of the pretentious results
of city work. What will be said then,
of this issue of the Home Journal,
which appears today with 74 columns of
advertisements which embody the busi
iness cards of more than 150 progressive
and energetic houses and firms involved
in almost every branch of active trade
and manufacture known to this section ?
If we are permitted to infer at all, we
will be pardoned for saying that the
character, the conscientious labors
and the public spirit of this paper in
part attract the cordial, general and
generous employment of its columns.
The acceptability of this journal into
the home and business house of every
person who reads it; its honest effort
and aim to be an honest newspaper,
and its unquestioned friendliness to all
movements that tend to benefit this
rich, salubrious and healthy section of
Georgia, have combined to make these
pages valued and respected everywhere,
and have put those in accord with us
who are prompt to apprehend and appre
ciate our wholesome purposes.
As an advertising medium, therefore,
we need to speak not one syllable. The
crush of names we print below and
the seried columns of handsomely dis
played and carefully presented announce
ments that gleam through the sixteen
pages of this day’s publication proclaim
for us more than all our utterances could
say. That we appreciate this recogni
tion is evinced by the manner in which
this paper is gotten up, and will be
further shown by the splendid distribu
tion we will give to this edition of the
Home Journax..

THE ELECTION.
LET US GIVE THE VALOROUS CARLTON
AN AVALANCHE OF VOTES.
The election of November 2 concludes
the series for this year, and probably
transcends in real importance all that
have recently preceded it. Under the
Constitution all the States elect Congress
men on the same day. At least this is
the law. That is it violated in terms in
one or two States has been the fact for
many years. Nevertheless, the great
mass of the American States will onTues
day, November 2, elect their members to
Congress, and on the result of their sev
eral votes will depend the complexion of
the next Congress as between the two
contending national parties. The pres
ent Congress contains a strong working
Democratic majority. Strenuous efforts,
desperate efforts, will be made in many
of the Northern and Western States to
reverse this condition. We hardly think
the Republicans will succeed, but it is
clear that their abundant efforts to win
are inspired by their hopes of overcom
ing the opposition majority in the Lower
House of Congress, which would give
them both branches of the national leg
islature and bode no good for the South.
More than this, it would yield them a
fair showing for success in the next Pres
idential election, to secure which it is
necessary, else the Republican party will
very soon after show certain signs of dis
integration.
It is scarcely to be expected that the
Republicans will make inroads upon the
Southern Democratic Congressional rep
resentation, but it is plain they will
make demonstration everywhere in the
country and by every means. It there
fore behooves the Southern people to
vote heartily and emphatically for the
men of their preference, whether or not
they have opposition. A light and indif
ferent vote in the South is viewed at the
North as an evidence of discontent with
the party and it serves as an invitation to
the inimical forces to wedge into this
section a strong endeavor to disrupt our
political relations and divide the Demo
ocratic fold. This must not be permitted.
We must keep an unbreakable front and
a firm face toward the enemy. The new
Radical ally, the Powderly gang, under
pretense of labor reform, must be frown
ed down as the mildest means we choose
to employ to warn them that negro “la
bor bureaus” are no more desired at the
South than are negro “miscegenation
bedsteads.” They must be made to keep
their bureaus and bedsteads at home.
This must be made apparent to them by
a display of our numbers and interest at
the polls.
In this district (the Bth) we are to
elect Hon. 11. H. Carlton. He has no
opposition. His brilliant campaign and
his formidable attitude against every
form of Radicalism, socialism, fanaticism
and fraud, and his well known and un
stained Demcracy, entitle him to a large
vote, even though it bo largely compli
mentary. Captain Carlton will prove a
dauntless foe to every form of opposition
in Congress, and the whole district will
no doubt rally to the polls, as it ought
to, to make his election emphatic ami
hearty.
Mr. W. P. McWhorter.
The Banner-Watchman “notes with
pleasure that Woodville precinct, Mr. W.
P.iMcWhorter’s home, gave the Demo
cratic nominees fifty majority last Wed
nesday, and helped hold the county in
line. Mr. McWhorter was the defeated
nominee for the Senate, but has estab
lished himself firmly for the future in the
Democratic councils. Such magnanimtiy
should be recognized.”
This is just what the Home Journal
knew would be Mr. McWhorter’s patriot
ic course when it gave that gentleman its
support in the Democratic primary.

Merit in Itself.
That “good wine needs no’bush,” is one
of the oldest sayings and has grown a little
too old fashioned for these our modern days.
It is not enough that a tiling has merit
in itself, in these days of impostors and
impositions. It must be brought to the
notice of the people and then if it has the
qualities claimed, it will win its way.
Never lias this been better exemplified
than in the case of Hunnicutt’ s Rheu
matic Cuke a medicine manufactured by
J. M. Hunnicutt & Cos., of Atlanta, for
the absolute cure of rheumatism and all
blood and kindred diseases, and placed on
the market less than one year ago. It has
not been our purpose to “puff” patent
medicines of any kind in this jonrnal, but
this specific has proved Itself so meritorious
that we think it but just to call the atten
tion of our readers to the fact that it ab
solutely does perform the cures which its
makers claim it will. The firm does not go
into foreign lands or distant cities for testi
monials but offers the unqualified endorse
ment and reference of your friends and
neighbors who have been cured. No fair
minded person should allow a friend to
suffer from any of the diseases this medi
cine is claimed to cure without at least
giving it a trial No medicine prepared in
the South has ever gained as much favor
in its intrinsic merit atone in the same
time as has the “Cure.” A year since it
whs only manufactured for private use.—
Now it is known in every city, village and
hamlet from the iron-bound liilla of Ten
nessee to the Gulf kissed palmettoes) of
Florida, and from the sandy beaches of the
Carolinaa to the muddy banka of the Fath
er of waters,and its sales are extending rap
idly. Messrs. L. J. Miller & Cos., Whole
sale Druggists, Augusta, Ga., John Craw
ford A Cos., Athens, Ga., are general agents
for Hunmcutt’s Rheumatic Cure and will
supply the trade throughout their sections
at manufacturer’s prices.
