GEORGIA HOME JOURNAL. W. ADDISON KNOWLES, Prop’r. VOLUME XIV-NUMBEK 41 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 (Greene Rifles: roster. 'Organized February 22,1861. Reorgan ized July 4, 1886. Jhn C. Hart, Captain; Edward Young, Ist lieutenant; J. B. Y.

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: Ice Cream Table —Mrs. Anna Carmi .chael, Miss Florence Clayton, Greenes boro; Mrs. James F.

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 hy the attendance, Interest and enthusi asm it t!i|dre<l, one could plainly see tliat “their is life in the old laud vet.” On Monday night the hides met at the Court house, and hy a hsndaoni# array of resolutions returned thanks to ail who had tn any manner contributed to the titiml •** foiuj <*Mi*iim'4 or to III* getter*! lUPCitM MIMI uI lilt' iN CMiMil. ft* liri'piic imiftMi |m ttUtfiul lit# jujuMfimtUtMi til Uvvmm ipuivpm* 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. Sunday Schools. The Executive committee of the Greene County Sunday School Association at their recent meeting adopted the follow ing programme: First Day—Meet in Presbyterian church at 7p. m. Thursday, October 21. Scrip ture lesson, song and prayer, led by Rev. J. Knowles. Address of welcome by Hon W. H. Branch; Response by Dr. W. E. Adams. Topic—How may we best interest adults in our Sunday schools ? Rev. W.

According to the above arrangement the schools assembled at the Presbyte rian church last night, and will today continue their exercises according to the programme. 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 geant Bartow Florence. Before depart ing they gave earnest assurances of tlieir enjoyment of the visit and bore away with them Greenesboro’a best wishes fur the Clinch Itilles and for the valor ous Captain 1. C.

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. Eli.

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 i 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. The Knights of Labor. 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 bracing the prufessiou of inediciue.

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..

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.

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.
