Will Gross was helping to load a car with peaches at Alto last Tuesday when Garnet and Jim Lynch, who were working on the section of railroad at that place, came up on a hand car. The Lynch boys went immediately to where Cross was working and oui of them encaged him in a light. While fighting with one of tlie Lynch brothers 'he other one stab bed Gross in the back twice and once in the head. Gross walked a short distance, sat down and was j soon unconscious from loss ol blood, lie was carried to his home and medical aid summoned. His injuries while serious are rot necessarily fatal. The Lynch boys left Alto on the hand car but took to the woods a mile from town. The .sheriff of Habersham county captured them about twelve o'clock the same night a few mill's above Homer. They were placed in Glarkisville jail to await trial. Europe in Grasp of War. From the first declaration of w ar by Austria Hungary on the little country, Servia, for failure to fully explain her alleged connection with the assassination of the crown prince ot Austria, war events moved swiftly.

The Russians has crossed the border int i Germany at two points, also. The idea of Germany, how ever, to crush France, if possible lielore Russia could get all her im mense aimies in imminent motion. Italy declared formal neutrality —leaving Germany and Austria Hungar\ of the trible alliance to fight out with Russia and France —with England (of the triple en. terite) a defensive ally of France. Belgium, England could not con sent to have over run by the Germans and there the tensest point of situation was found —with Britian ready in army and navy for war.

When leaving Homer Friday night Fred Pucker's mule became frightened at a stump and broke up his buggy considerably, but Fred hung on to the critter and preventc l a runaway. Hon. Tims. M. Bell addressed a lai go crow and at Maysville Friday afternoon, lie was introduced by Dr. V. D. Lockhart who made a short and appropriate speech. Mr. Bell spoke of what lie had ac complished in congress and carried a congressional record to prove tlic assertions he made. It lias been reported that hail stones weighing fifty ponds fell in the big storm that visited the sec tion around Pott’s store recently. 1 his is a mistake. The hail wash ed up in piles and froze together so that people carried off 50 pound chunks of ice, hut the hail stones were not quite that large, we are glad to say. One of our • ood citizens, w ho by the way does not own an automo bile, in.narked recently that if there was not some general under standing as to w hich side of a vehi cle automobiles were to pass on, when going in the same direction, tint somebody was going to get, killed, When an auto comes up behind you always keep to the light, if the machine driver wants to pass, and he generally does, let him go around ou your left side. Never turn out for him to pass to the right, but always keep the right yourself. A mule driven by Bob Henson and Norman Parham met three automobiles at the bridge beyond Sosebee < ai lei ’s last Friday after noon and after humping up his back four times, made a dash for the cornfield nearby. Fortunately Bob and Norman had placed themselves upon the ground when F.e machines were first sighted. Bob was swinging to the lines in the rear while Norman was work ing in advance and hanging on to th • mule’s front piece like it was a life and death case. HuL that mule carried those boys through the corn field at such a lively rate they decided to let him go it alone. Soon after they turned loose the buggy turned loose and then the harness flew off with the birds. Norman says the mule ran so fast he actually singed his hail pas ing through the air. A young man from near Homer visited the city of Cornelia, Ga., recently dressed in overalls rolled up to his knees and barefooted. It was a comfortable summer cos tume, such as he had been wearing for years, but it did not suit the taste of the city policeman, so he approached the Bankite and said: “Young man you must take down yonr pants.” The boy had never been rccosted by a policeman with brass buttons before, and the stern command frightened him so that he didn’t know whether he was in Cornelia or Bagdad. However, he got busy with the intention ol complying with the order from his royal highness, and reached for both suspenders at once, which he threw from his shoulders. The policeman, seeing that his order had been misunderstood, grabbed the victim and exclaimed. “Hold on ! Hold on !! Roll ’em down at the bottom, not from the top.” Gotton in the northern part of Glarke county is from eight to ten inches high with but few leaves. People who have traveled in the counties around Banks tell us that we have the best cotton in this part of the state. Our townsman, Mr. John Daniel Hill, says he lost the best daily lie ever had by war, and stopping bullets is not in his line of busi ness. Its the other fellows ’job.** Hon. Thos. M.

Martin is being hold pending the result of his injuries. in some way the announcement of Col. Gordon Logan was distrib uted last week and faile 1 to ap pear in the issue of July 31. The announcement was paid for in ad vance and we regret very much that it was left out, but mistakes will be made in print shops, or elsewhere. You will find the an nouncement this week top of col umn next to reading matter on the front page. Several advertisements of candi dates appear in the Journal today. Some of them we would prefer not to run, bu as this paper is sup porting no man for any office, we give them all a square deal. Vote for the ones you think the most able, honest and willing to serve the lies 1 interests of the state and nation. Be your own judge as to who should be elected. Don’t be pulled around by Tom, Dick and Harry and allow them to dictate to you who how you should vote. Never allow any man to go up to the polls and “vote you.” One man has as much right as another to vote his convictions, and when you are ap proached by another with the re quest that you vote a certain way, remember that he thinks you are too stupid to have convictions of your own and lie wants to turuish j the brains for you to vote by.
