—The new entertainment, or theat¬

M c learn that a competent painter has
been engaged to do the scenic and oth¬
er ornamental work in the hall, while
the exterior painting will, probably, be

is under the supervision of that prince
of good fellows, Mr. .T. T. Colcord, gen¬

Martin & Peacock.
The Two Sam* Heard.
We announced last week that Rev.
T. M. Christian and wife, and Ron.
L. M. Peacock, of our town, were vis¬
iting Rome, Ga., for a few days. They
have returned from their pleasant
trip, and a Journal reporter casually i
“dropped” upon the latter gentleman,
at Ids store, on Saturday evening last,
and after the usual salutations char¬
acteristic of a friend to another alike,
wo propounded the question—“How
did you enjoy your visit; did you
hear the -two Sains?’” Mr. P. smiled
complacently, and said—“1 did and
wish you could have heard them.”
We are ever submissive to rebukes,
and grasping the nearest chair, we
were soon beside the speaker. He
told us he had a “good tiriie”—not
what lie used to call a “good time.”
when he wandered in the “paths of
darkness,” but a spiritual “good time,”
and went on to tell us of the great,
good and grand work that Revs. Sain
Jones and Sam Small, the world
known revivalists, were doing in the
city of Rome. They occupied a new
ly constructed warehouse, three hun
di ed feet square, competent of seating
2,000 persons, and nearly every seat
was filled at the four services held
<U " i "= ,ho day-commencing at 5 a.

Messrs, Jones and Small preached
alternately, and the attendance at each
service was large. To show the im- j

states that on one day the house was
packed to standing room, and for five

Very few of our farming friends
"*’ie in town on Satuida\ last, but
b'om a brief chat among them, we
learned that tho crop prospect iu their
respective sections is good, taken
all in all, and no complaint is heard,
except that a fine rain is much needed,
May, so far, lias been quite dry and
warm, but remember the old saying—
“ a dry May for a good crop year.”
Crops are generally clean of grass,
and are in fine condition to receive a
“soaker.” 'flic signs of the times are
yet hopeful.
Lodged in «IaiiI.
John Moore, colored, aged about 16
years, Monday was brought from Chauncey on
i morning last and lodged in
jail to await a hearing under charge
of highway robbery. The “gentleman
in black” is accused of waylaying and
robbing some school children of their
dinner basket, at the same time spic¬
ing his action of robbery with some
very indecent language.
The scoundrel barely escaped lynch¬
ing upon arrest, at tiie hands of an
outraged people, and if reports at
I hand go as testimony on the stand,
it would have been about one and the
same thing with him.
The Way to Help a Town.
One of the best ways to make a
town, is to have a lively, enterprising.
moving citizenship—brag on your
town, talk about its enterprises, dwell
on its present advantages and future
prospects, patronize its schools, attend
its churches, and lend a helping
a „d wi m„ ,7 K heart to every enterprise

tion. To them the Journal wafts
congratulations, trusting that their
pathway through life may be one of
pleasure and prosperity.

Dots From Uhaiincry,
Chauncey. Ga., May 21st, 1887.
Editor Journal: —Owing to cir¬
cumstances it has not been possible
for me to report in several weeks, but
will try to get off a few stray items
this week.
A matrimonial wave has at last
struck our town. Mr. James Y. Miles
and Miss Cora Bussey were united in
matrimony on Sunday, the 8th inst.,
and on Wednesday evening last, the
i 18th inst., at the Methodist church,
Mr. Geo. T\ Bussey and Mrs. Susan
McCarty, Rev. Mr. Burke officiating.
May their pathway through lilo be
strewn with flowers of happiness and
content ment.
The sad death of Mr. W. I». Burt
lias cast a gloom over our entire com¬
munity. lie was one of the “noblest
works of God”—an honest man. The
sympathy of all go out to his widowed
young wito so soon bereft of ltie
strong protecting ann of a kind and
affectionate husband. May she re¬
ceive strength from Above to odhr
her great affliction with fortitude and
resignation, knowing that God doeth
all things well for the glory and hon¬
or of Ilis name. •
I understand there is considerable
sickness in this section, and tho doc¬
tors are kept rather busy.
The new saw mill is about comple¬
ted and is, as we all anticipated, “a
hummer.” Mr. Dormer, tho superin¬
tendent, has removed his family from
their home in Ohio, aud will become
a permanent citizen of Chauncey.
I am sorry for “Traveler.” of Tel¬
fair county, who makes known his
grievances on the hog questjon in a
poetic effusion. I( he is a young

we visited our
stirring little sister city of Hawkins
ville, where we found superior court
iu session, his honor Jmlgo Kibbec,
presiding. Having no business before
thi* august tribunal, we were more
conspicuous without the walls of iue
tier,“howdymg” with old acquaint
anccs, forming new ones, and learn
ing as to the success and hopes of all,
•and it was thus employing Our time
wo visited some of the prominent
business establishments.
Our first call was at the extensive
barrel factory of Messrs. Parker,
Peacock & Co., where it was our
good fortune to meet the junior and
general manager of the firm Mr —
— Holmes, who received us civilly,
showing us through and around their
extensive works, explaining in detail
the modus operandi. and furnishing
figures as to their business progress.
This industry, with ample and com¬
modious work shops, oDices and
quarters, and fitted up with all liec
e.-sary machinery and appurtenances
ot the latest most approved ma.mfue

not only timl a ready market but a
crying demand for morejit the renin
neiative price ot $100 per barrel;
and thus it is that this extensive in
dustn. besides bringing a
return to the proprietor* tor the capi¬
tal and labor expended, is proving a
little bonanza to Ilawkinsvillo in the
considerable outlay of cash lequisito
to keep things moving.
We next strolled into the mammoth
work shops of Mr. L. B. Wilcox,
where is manufactured implements
and wheeled contrivances of every de¬
scription and in sufficient quantity to
meet the demands of our entire sec¬
tion. This immense industry is not
alone of much consequence to Ifawk
itisville, but should be viewed by all
in its true light of a great convenience
to our people in general, and as a re¬
sult receive that support and encour¬
agement commensurate with its mer¬
its.
We alike took occasion to drop in
at the nicrcaiitilc houses of,I Jacobus,

whom we found justly the
claim of leudt r& in their respective
lines.
as usual, wo wore favor

Hoist Need Nor Want Them.
In this issue of the Journal ap¬
pears two notices asking for legisla¬
tive anactmcnt,one fur the creation of
a board of commissioners of roads
and revenues for Dodge and the other
asking that the tax on the sale of
spirituous liquors in the county be
fixed at $10,000
The latter wc will dismiss by simply
terming it absurd, since the matter is
fully provided for by the local option
law. and but requires the enforcement
thereof.
As to tho former we are equally
convinced as to its absurdity, and feel
safe in asserting that our people
neither need nor want any such board
created. Our county affairs under the
present regime are working perfectly
satisfactory, and our people are con¬
tent to forego tiie only perceivable
pleasure of providing olfioe for some
favored few bv such enact meut for
tlie great good that will otherwise ac
erne to the county in the saving of
unnecessary taxation.
City and Town.
Just now the cities and towns
throughout Georgia, and other states,
are placing great emphasis upon the
necessity of encouraging tlie estab¬
lishment of manufacturing industries,
in order that increased prosperity of
tiro muuicipalitcs may bo induced.
The assertion bears the stamp of
truth, and the desired condition will
carry prosperity to the homes ot the
farmers, as well as to tlie citizens of
the prospering cities, towns and villa¬
ges.
Whenever the population of a town
or city is increased, and the increase
consists ot money making citizens,
the farmers around about are afforded
a better home market for their pro¬
duce, and thus encouraged to produce
more, and to improve the quality of
their products. It is a well known
fact that there are many products of
the soil that cannot be profitably sold
except in a home market, and when
the capacity of a home market is in¬
creased, the money making ability of
the neighboring farmers is increased.
Therefore tho benefit to be derived
from mamifactitr.ng interests spreads
to the country, and is felt for miles
around.
But thee can be no increase of pop
ulaliou in the cities that will not
prove beneficial to any. When per¬
sons seeking light work forsake the
farms and crowd the cities, no good
j s t i 0 „ c to themselves; the farmers are
bercft to a certain extent, of good
wolkcrs; <bc crowded avenues of bus
Incss must resist the pressure, and
wages of many alreaay in service
are reduced. Often, also, bad com
pauiouship serves to currupt young
men who theretofore had borne irre¬
proachable characters. Many good
farmers have been spoiled to bright make
poor clerks. Wo entertain
hopes for the future of Georgia, both
towns and country, and believe wo
will see them realized.
