HUMANE LITERATURE
A good man never abuses a
horse, but horses and mules are
often abused in this count , and
we need some proseeutious and a
few he ivy lines to help remedy the
evil. That will not put a stop to
this cowardly practice of ttouting,
abusing and overloading but it
will help the cause some. The
only remedy is to place, humane
literature in the public schools and
tench the children at home to U*
kind to all living creatures. You
cannot reform adults, but if wc
start with the children now, some
thing can be accomplished. Hu
mane literature taught in public
schools would not only help the
dumb brutes but mankind as well.
When you tind a man who is kind
to animals you will always find
him kind to his fellow man. Hut
when a man abuses a dumb brute
it is a sure sign that on the slight
est provocation lie would also
abuse his fellowman if it was not
for his fear of the law or some per
sonal injury lie might receive.
Humane literature taught in
public schools would do more than
any one thing to lessen ciiine in
this countiy.
1 have ordered mailed to every
school teacher in Hanks county a
copy of “<>ur Dumb Animals’’ a
paper founded by Geo. T. Angell
in 180# and edited by him for forty
yeais. 1 have read ttiis paper
twenty years and often regret that
it was not placed in my hands when
] was a boy. It should be in every
home in America w here there are
children. 11 the teachers will form
bauds of Mercy in their schools,
(Dumb Animals will explain the
plan,) and use a little humane lit
erature, more good can be accom
plished in the next five years than
ail the debates and spelling mate lies
you can held.
Whatever is humane in a man
is brought about through education,
and the sooner we begin to teach
cliildu n along this line the better
it will be for the country, for if
this unnecessary slaughter of birds
continue in this country the com
ing generations will suffer.
Never buy your boy 22 rille and
send him out to destroy the birds
that des' roy the insects that de
stroys your crops, but teach him
the value of birds and how to lie
kind to the creature < that God
placed here for his protection.

A Pink Sermon
Quile a number ot people as
sembled at the convict camp last
Sunday to hoar llev. Pink Heg
wood preach. Pink handed out
some very interesting dope but it
was far from being instructive. I
have contended all the time that
Pink was of unsound mind and I
think that he succeeded in con
vincing his entire congregation
that his mind is far from normal.
He is a religious fanatic. Among
other things he said: ‘*I.O. O. F.
means Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Free Mason means Free. All
thought comes to a man through
his hair. The reason we have part
night is because of sin, that if the
world was righteous the moon
would follow the sun and we
would have all light and no night.
He also informed his hearers that
God and Christ were spirits and
Jesus a man. That his heart stops
sometimes for hours and he breathes
through his pulse. That when a
man dies the sun penetrates through
the earth and his eyes open and all
the bad deeds done will pass before
him. That he hud the blood and
w ine in him and he felt like he
could catch a mule by the ears and
throw him over the fence. That
he died while in jail and remained
dead two hours and ten minutes.”
“Nufsed.”
Hollingsworth
Most people are done planting
now, except some garden and
“goolier” patches.
Mr. Hollis Peyton of Clermont,
is at home for the summer months.
Mr. Elbert Smith has purchased
anew auto. Guess he’ll haul the
girls now.
Mr. and Mrs. \V. T. Maxwell
visited Mr. and Mrs. John T. Cau
dell Sunday.
Court at this place was rushing
Saturday, two Homer attorneys
was present. Messrs. Griffin and
Furr.
Several from this place says
they are going to Mexico and settle
the affairs there if old Huerta
dont put a “quietus” to this talk,
so you see if some of these Hollings
worth boys was to venture out and
go after Mexico there would cer
tainly lie something “doing” sooner
or later.
Mr. Paul Nunnally goes to
Washington every Sunday via
short line.
Sunday school at Harmony is
improving fast. A good attend
ance is present every Sunday, this
is the life of a Sabbath school.
Mrs. Tom Clark is very ill at
this writing, a e are sorry to learn.
Messrs. M. O. Scoggins and Car
rol Chambers were in Cornelia Sat
urday on business.
Mail on Baldwin R. 1 is in a
flourishing condition just now, for
Prof. Wise has received about 150
pks. of seed for distribution.
We hear ’em say that the mart
who marries a girl for the roses on
her cheeks sometimes discovers
later on that it wouln have been
a lot cheaper to have purchas ed a
“painting” because the painting
wouldn’t fade for a long time.
Mr. anil Mrs. Russell F. Payne
of Mt. Aiiy, visited relative; at
this place Sunday.
It is reported that the old Jordan
bridge has been torn down and a
new one will lie built aoou,
Several from this place will at
tend the great airship flight at
Gainesville those who will not go I
we are informed will climb up a
sapling and look with all then
eyes. So if they don’t see it that’s
their business.
A Live Wire.
A Card
It would lie useless for me to at
tempt to see every voter in the
county, so I take this means of
tnaDkiDg all those who so nobly
stood by me in my recent race for
Tax Collector, and I hope future
will bring a day when I can return
the same kindness.
Toward those who were against
me I have only the kindliest feel
ing, and to one and all I promise a
faithful discharge of duty.
Very truly,

BANKS CCUNTT JOURNAL, HOMER.GA .
Almost every boy is innately a
murderer. If an ant tries to pass
near where he is craw ling on the
floor he raises his tiny hand and
slays it; when his little legs have
gained sufficient strength for him
to pull up to a chair the iiist move
of his cluby foot would be to come
down oil the head of a defenseless
bug if it should chance to emerge
from a crack in the floor near his
“standing ground.” From that
time on he kills every bug or worm
with which he comes in contact
until he reaches the age of three
years when he starts in on grass
hoppers and butterflies. At the
age of ten he declares war on birds
and small game and often keeps it
up until he gets too old and weak to
carry a gun.
The Executive Committee
Can Help Banks County
In making the race for the office
of Treasurer of Hanks County, I
had two main reasons; one to get
the financial benefit which the of
fice pays, the other, that I might
be some help to Banks County.
In my canvass I met a goodly
number of people, wish I could
have met all. 1 thank most heart
ily all who helped me in the race
To those who misunderstood, criti
cised, misrepresented, and de
serted, 1 have nothing to say.
Though I was defeated in the nom
ination for the office of Treasurer,
I am not defeated in my desires to
be of some help to the county. I
notice in the last week’s Journal
that there is something like $50.00
of the candidates money in the
Treasury of the Executive Com
mittee. 1 have had in my mind
for some time, the idea of building
a large Tabernacle at Homer.
This tabernacle to be used tor the
purpose of holding public meetings
for the lieiielit of the people of
Banks county; such as educational
rallies, Sunday School Couven
tious, Gospel meeting etc. Now if
the Executive Committee will put
thissso which is in its Treasury in
this building, and we cm get
a contribution from the people of
the county, we can put up this
Tabernacle without much expense
to any one individual. Some who
live away from Homer may ob
ject to this movement, but what
ever we put at Homer in the way
of public enterprise will help the
whole county.
