SI.OO Six month* - - - - .50 Entered at the Pent office at Homer , (fa., an seeoml-cla** mail matter. Communications of any character, whether on business or for publication, should be acidic sb§*l to GAZETTE. Homer, Ga., Wednesday, May 0. Professor John L. LcConte, of the llie state university of California, in dead. The President is still in Califor nia, and the department is moving along smoothly without him. The argument before the Western and Atlantic Commissioners has closed, and the people all over (lie state will wait with patience de cision of the court. The following direction we clip from an English journal: “If script ural holiness were more zealously preached from all our evangelical pulpits, Christian people would speedi. ly enjoy a closer walk and engage in a keener service.” This fact is becoming more and more apparent each day that if die two old parties want to get rid of the sub-treasury plan they must bring out something better. The people will not consent to he longer hum hugged by such men as Mills and Hoar, who have nothing but the tariff to offer.—National Economist. When a man thinks nobody cares for him, and he is alone in a cold and selfish world,.he would do well to ask himself this question: “What have 1 done to make anybody care for and trlove me, and to warm the world with faith and generosity?” If is generally the-cane that those who Complain the most hast) 1 done the least. \ 9 * ** The Interior Says? “The sedate of the United States, in the closing,days of its late session, voted, under the pressure of neglected business, 'to qontinue at work all day Sunday. Jhit in the meunddiile a member of the body having died, adjourned ‘out of „ respect to his memory.’. The ques tion arises, whether the living God is not as deserving of rCsjiect as a dead ftenstor”’ He Gave 1 -eg Bale. It seems that Franklin county needs anew jail. On last Sunday about ten o’clock, Dr. Glover who has heeti in jail since the last term of court, charged with the murder of his wife, made his escape by means of wooden’ keys. Nothing has been heard of him since his escape. A negro by the namq,of Reader charged with larceny Accompanied the Doctor. Thomas Cary was also confined in the jail charged with rfturdcr. lie assisted the Doctor and the negro to escape, but*said he was not going to leave, but was going to stand his trial. New Covering. for Cotton. We find in the Atlanta Constitution an article on anew covering for cot ton, invented by an Atlanta man, Sir. 11, 0. King. The following is an ex. tract'of the article, showing its mode of manufact.ire, superior advantages, and jirice: * In appearance the flagging is about the thickness of ordinary white blot ting paper but coarser and stronger fibred. In this is a fine steel wire warp. This gives tlu covering strength and allow all flexibility. The covering when lient holds its position almost as rigidly as a thin sheet of tin. The body of the covering is ordinary paper stock, chemically treated to luiike it fire and .water proof. Five colors the covering’ but has no other effect. This covering ns put on the bale in either of two ways—with ties, or withoirt ties, using instead, a steel wife net. .A prospectus says; “This covering will entirely protect . it against damage from any ordinary exposure, to fire or water, and against dirt or mud while being handled i*? shipping. It will prevent accidental loss or waste front the bale, but can be conveniently sampled. By the use of this covering there will be no danger of cot:on tires, as has been the case heretofore, caused from sparks from engines, cigars, matches, etc. This is a combined covering and bale tie. The inside can be made fioin the cotton stalk and bulls of the seed, or from any other fibrous substance, made into a thick, tough paper, treated with asbestos, or any chemical that will prevent fire. The outside part, or tie, is made of web wire, which takes the place cf the ties. Ordinary web wire is used— using the widths suited to the size of the press, the selvage edge of the wire being united together while it is in the press with wire hooks, which are specially made, to tlie selvage edges, and can he as readily hooked while the bale is in the press, as the buckle can be fastened on ties. This covering can be conveniently worked on any of the different size presses in use without atiy changes having to be made. The exact nature of the chemical treatment to make the covering lire and water proof is known only to Mr. If. O. King, the inventor. The bagging weighs twenty-four pounds to the bale —equal to, or ex eroding, the weight of jute bagging. Mr. King proposes to guarantee that the cost per bale will not exceed sixty cents. A Pleasant lay Spent Among The Mountains. A party of young people chaper oned by Col. and Mrs. Oscar Brown left Homer early Saturday morning to visit the Currahee mountain. After passing through some half dozen gat** and crossing over many hills and valleys we found ourselves at the foot of that majestic mountain. The scenery certainly surpassed our expectations. But as it was now almost noon and we haden’t yet lasted of the dainties which had been prepared for us, it was decided to partake of them before going further. The dinner was very nice, in deed, and highly enjoyed by all. A move was made to ascend the moun tain, which seemed to be quite a diffi cult task, as it steep and rough. We ‘icontiimed• the search,” however, until The top was reached n triumph, where the young men was made to bad by hearing say Primped slit* never see another “Hill. s** 5 ** We speqt quite aw hile viewing the differ eht‘points of interest, both on the mountain and fever the - surrounding country. We could get a very good view of Toceon city and also of tire trestle and trains an thy Air Line railroad. * On the north side,of tire mountain is a very large tunnel, supposed to have been cut there by prospectors for gold, several years ago. Those of pur party w!'b were brave enough ventured in as far as their matches* a .ted. ■> While on the summit one of the young men challenged the ladies for a shooting.thatch which was highly enjoyed. After decendihg the mountain wo spent some time in pleasant conver sation, and when the time came for us to start hack to tlm city they all seemed loath to leave the place where they had spent such a happy day. ‘On our way home two of the couples left us and spent the night with relatives near Alt. Airy. They returned on Sunday by way of Broad River church where they lrad the pleasure of listening to a very interesting sermon. One of lire party was loath to leave this place, and not until a great deal of persua sion, was he finally prevailed upon to proceed further. They reached home, however, in the afternoon and report it delightful tijne, in deed. . M. Pruitt. Victory! Victory, jes, the fence side in Washington district gained a grand victory for fense, and the poor class of people of this county. 1 am proud that we have enough men of ! firmness and stability about them in Washinging district to stand* up and speak and act (or their rights. lam also glad that they cannot be deceived by such advice as your Mount Pleas ant correspondent gave them in your last issue. We are very’ cautious how we take the advice of a stock man. The result was 61 for fence and <l4 hor stocklaw, giving fence 27 majof ; ity. It seems from the result of (this election that stocklaw is on ,n decline # in our district. We had a ! majority dV'ill before and 27 tliis time. So mote it be. • j We are needing rain very bad in this section, we don’t think cotton seed can come up till it does rain. The farmers have been making good use of their time and are most done planting. Wheat and oats are looking fine, but are needing rain. We like The Gazette splendidly. More Emphatic Thau Eloquent. A Methodist minister once started a church in a young western town, but for want of pecuniary support was soon obliged to abandon it. Jfis farewell sermon to the lukewarm brethren was characterized by more heat than elegance. He ended thus: “At the last day the Lord will say to St. Peter, 'Where is your flock?’ and St. Peter will answer, ‘Here, Lord; and so all of the shepherds can an ; swer. .But when he asks me, ‘Where is your sheep?’ how will you feel when 1 am compelled to reply, ‘Lord, I haven’t any; mine are all hogs!” Rylee School House. The farmers of this section arc about done planting. Wheat and oats are looking fine. Mr. Willian Strickland had the misfortune to get his leg broken the other day while coming from Atlanta. He fell off the train and striking the cressties broke his leg. There was a general house rocking the other night not far from this place. * The good people of this community met at the school house the 4Ji Sun day in April for the purpose of organ izing a Sabbath school. Mr. 11. M. Smith was elected superintendent, Mr. J. F. Evans, assistant and Mr. Erastus Evans, secretary. There will be preaching at this place once a month by Revs. Hol comb and Mintz. Mount Pleasant. Brother Little preached at Mount Pleasitnt. Saturday and Sunday. Sunday school is in a prosperous condition. We have between seven ty-five and eighty names on our roll. We have some imjyv ones join us every Sunday, ands ill there is room. It is very dry in this section. The farmers are beginning to run oiyt or run up with there work for Want of rain. Cotton' has not come up yet ’to do much good, it is so drv. There will yet be lots of corn plant ed when it rains. Wheat looks fine and no rust yet. Oats are good, but low. Albert "H. Cochran found two swarms of bees last week, and he wasn’t hunting hoes either. Messrs. Priekett and White, of Muysville, were in our community last week. Come again, boys. It is against the law for a man to carry a gun or pistol to churah on week days; what about a ytmng lady carrying a large gun to church on Sunday ? The weather is getting hot enoygh for ice lemonade to'go pretty well all night. Wonder why some body don’t get up a picnic some where, Whoopiugcough is prevailing in the community. Several of the old folks have the blues, and all the girls have new hats and new dresses, and they (the gkls) look ns sweet and fresh as the wild ivy blossoms. No deaths or weddings to report. ’ Rex. Urena. Rain is much needed. The farmers arc up with their work Mr. VV. A. Segers has planted a large goobtsr crop. Mr. J. A. Martin has gone to see Ins best girl. Mr. H. A. Martin and Mr. William Cochran went seining Saturday last, and caught some large carp. Wo see.in the last issue of The Gazette that the Cost correspondent wants to know what, has become of the Urena whale. We suppose lie has gone off with the Cost man smel ling up weddings. Washington district is looking up. A great many of cur farmers have hells. Slip VTuh Very Sensitive. Mrs. Fordyce Langley, ;* Long Island matron, had for many years fluttered herself that she wafted with umrsurd grace and dignity, but the biker day a teacher’ of manners told her that her gait was “pudgy,” and she took laud anum and tried to die. —Detroit Free Press. Written for The Gazette. GEORGIA. BY ISAAC POWELL TABOR. Our southland boasts its teeming cane, The chilly north its great domain, And the sun’s brilliant rays unfold, On building masts and quartz of gold. Rough in the norLli, smooth in the south. From Columbus to Savannah’s mouth. Her white sands are sands alofle, Her great mines are gold and stone. Yet on her hills and on her brows, Pland the sheep and grazing cows, And wlmt the northern bills denies, The level southern bell supplies. The health may fail, the heart may faint, But yet we dare to make complaint, And dare to plead in times like these. The weakness of our love of ease. The beauties of our commonwealth Are free, strom:, athletic and of w raltli, The artful hand and cultured brain, Aie more to her than gold or grain Yet. in Georgia and on her sands, And sunny hills, the school li.use stands. And what her hill v soil denies, The riches of the. mind supplies. This “Papal Controversy” will be the first discussion tot publication ever ltchl between Baptists and Ho man Catholics.
