Homer’s Advantages.
Now that the nciv year has crept
upon us in our dreams with its sun
shine and congratulations of our great
advantages, it behooves us to think a
moment, and ask ourselves what good
may be done by us in 96.
Our school has opened with the
most flattering prospects and with
Prof. J. I’. Bendy as principal, and
with the liberal support of our peo
ple we can so.an boast of the best
ri.oid in the .-outilv. We have one

p v.ly ..indents are coming in from
ether quarters on account of the ad
vantnges offi red by our institution of
learning.
It: now proposed that telephonic
collection will be made with Atlanta
and intervening towns before the end
of spring this giving students to a
great extent direct communication
with their parents, and the great ad
vantage is derived from this institu
tion being away from the attractions
of Rail Road towns and cities, where
often an education is deteatod and
the youth wrecked.
We have a daily mail and every

SECRETARY CARLISLE
SAYS THERE IS NO LAW FOR
THE GOLD RESERVE.
Has Never lieen Set Asidc~lt Is
a Pact of tlieGeuereral
Fund Only.
Washington, January 13. —Secre-
tary Carlisle today sent to the senate
Ins reply to a resolution adopted
January 3rd asking “if the sum of
§100,000,000 or any part thereof has
at any time since the establishment
of tho so-called gold reserve been
actually segregated or set apart from
the other currency or money in the
treasury department, in gold coin,
or gold coin and certificates, or either,
for the redemption of the legal ten
der notes and different ferms ot
paper money of the governmentV’’
also when and how the gold reserve
was established.
The secretary says:
"The senate is respectfully informed
that at no time since the establish
ment of the so called gold reserve has
the sum of $100,000,000 or any other
sum ;ocen segregated, or
set apart, from the general cash in
the treasury for the redemption of the
legal tender aotes of th United
States or for the redemption of any
other form of paper money for which
the United States is liable. There is
no provision of law requiring a stipe
nds fund or separate account to be
kept and all moneys received into tho
treasury, from whatever source, are
deposited in tli t general cash. The
fund for the reilemption of United
Stales notes was accumulated nuder
authority of the act of January 14..
1875, which directed the secretary of
the treasury to prepare and provide
for such redemption on the Ist day ot
January, 1579. No specific sum was
prescribed, hut 1 lie secretary of the
treasury was althsrizcd to use the sur
plus-revenues from time to time and
to sell certain descriptions of bonds
to an extent necessary to cany the
act into full effect.
‘‘ln the exercise of the < ■ cretion
thus conleredupon him, the secretary
sold for redemption purposes in 1877
and,in 1878 United Rtatcs 4 per cent
ami -It percent bonds to the amount
of $95,u(1u,0()0 and deposited the pro
cecii—s9(l,ooo,ooo in gold—in the
general cash in the treasury. This,
with oilier gold which had been re
ceived as surplus revenues, constitu
ted the fund prepared and provided
by the secretary of the treasury for
the redemption directed in the act of
January 14, 1875.
“The existence of the reserve fund
was generally recognized from the
time of its establishment as above
stated and one of the measures
adopted by the secretary of the treas
ury to prevsnt its unnecessary deple
plotion was the discontinuance ot the
Ijssue of gold certificates authorized by
the act of March 3, 1863. Tins act
authorized, but did not direct, such is
sue.
“Some inconvenience resulted from
this discontinuance and by section 12
of the bank act of .July 12 - 1882, the
secretary was authorized and directed
to receive deposits of gold coin and
bullion and to issue certificates there
for; but it was provided ‘that the sec
retarv o! the treasury shall suspend
the issue of such gold certificates
w i.enever the amount of gold bullion
i:i the treasury reserved for the r<*.
deuiptio’n of United States notes falls
below one hundred million dollars.’
•No other reference to the reserve
tuitd is contained in the laws of the
Unit'd States.
J. G. Cahlislu, Secretary.”
At the cloe of business today the
treasury gold reserve stood at £55,-
409,957. The withdrawals at New
York today were $687,000, of which
¥622,000 was in gold coin.
Not what we say, but
wliat Hood’s Sarsaparilla Does,
that tells the story of its merit and puo

In Memory of Our Beloved Joel
* 1). Gunnels.
God in his Providence has seen
host to take from out midst, unto him
self, our dear boloved friend and
brother Joel D. Gunnels, who was
born in Franklin county Georgia near
Bold Springs church May Ist 1827.
When quite young he thought, and
as we beliove obtained the pardon of
his sins. Ho united himself with the
M. E. Church South at Bold Springs
He entered immediately into zealous
and faithful work in the cause of
Christ, which he continued through
out bis life.
After acquiring a very complete
English education, he was married to
Miss Martha Parks, daughter of Rev,
William J. Parks, and settled on a
farm in Hanks County Ga., and was
considered one of the most successful
farmers tn the country.
As minister of the gospel, he was
untiring in his efforts to build up the
church, as teacher in the school loom,
kind and respectful to his pupils ever
using every means to advance thuya.
Bid Gunnels's history while serving
the people in places of trust he is too
well known to need any eulogy from
us* As clerk of the court, as County
School Commissioner, he was always
faithful to his trHst.
But v e as members of Banksville
Grange wish to remembei Joel D.
Gunnels more particularly as member
and brother.
Our Grange was organized Dec. 3,
1873. Ilro. Gunnels was one of the
charter members. From its organiza
tion, bro. Gunnel* exerted every effort
of body aud mind to make the Grange
a success, and he made his duty to the
interest of the Grange second to none
but his <|utv to God.
Oh! if we as brethren and sisters of
our order had only the zeal of our de
parted brother tor. the cause.
In filling his place as delegate to
the State Grange, he soon made his
puwe.bn debate felt in that body ot
distinguished brethren, and they soon
honored him as efficer ef that august
bod y.
Bro. Gunnels was elected Secretary
of our Grange at the time it was or.
ganized and continued to serve us as
such Hntil the time of his death which
occurred June “Ist 1835.
The record of our Grange if pre
served will be proof of his proficiency
iu farm work and penmanship. AH
the correspondence with the state and
National Grange was a part of his
duty, and in every case gave satisfac
tion. Oh! how we loved him.
While our hearts are sad yet we
should not grieve after our dear
brother.
God whom lie served no well and
so faithful lias organized him into a
better and blighter brotherhood
where he will continue to love him
and serve him through an endless
eternity,
Resolved, That in the death of our
Brother Jo *1 D. Gunnels, we have
lost one of our most earnest and
most faithful members.
Resolved 2 That this momorium
be recorded in the record baok of our
Grange.
Resslved 3 That the Banks County
Gazette and Harmony Grove Echo be
asked to publish this memorium, and
that i copy be furnished the family
of our departed brother.

From Cornelia Literary Club.
A few months since the school here
with the aid of Dr. Yeurk organized
a Liteiary Club here known as the
Cornelia Literary Club.
During the Christmas vacation of
school the club suspended its work for
awhile.
But it has now reorganized with
I
improved re gnlatioi.s and renewed I
life and vigor.
Tho design,of this club is the study
of literature both American and Eli
ropean and so the culture of literary
taste and the social and moral im
provement of society.
If our motives arc worthy and
means adequate why should not
IToincr it has none, and every other
town such societies or dabs?
In the future 1 hope to snv a few
things to young men and ladies etc.
