—As outlined by “Progress,” it
•seems certain that the work pro
posed to \>b done by the Perry
Variety Works will prove quite
profitable to the stock holders, and
very beneficial to our town and vi
cinity. May these men prosper
and grow rich, and tiaay others em
ulate their example by establishing
Pther manufacturing enterprises.
We have right here inexhaustible
quantities of crude materials that
can be cheaply manufactured into
articles of common use, and there
ia no reason why the profife of
production should not be realized
here and made to enrich our home
people.

Mrs. Davis has employed Miss
Fannie Boekwell to take charge of

Fannie is a competent teacher, and

We have a very fine Sunday school
ht Hidkory Grove now. Every one,
old and young, seems to take
great interest in the school; some

forward to the pleasant May, when
we can celebrate our school, and

treatment, and hope they will con

der which they are worked. Ev
ery man on every road knows ex
actly why it is that the roads are
not kept in good condition. The
law gives ample authority, but the
law is rot strictly enforced. The
roads are rarely worked thorough
ly, and often the convenience of
the farmers along the road is con
sidered first as to when the work
is to be done, and how much time
is to be expended, regardless 'of
the condition of the roads, f It is
a fact still fresh in the memory of
onr citizens that a new road law,
whereby the work was to be done
by convict and hired labor, was
defeated of operation by popular
ings. The covering boards for the

better worked now than before that
time. The people desired to keep
in force the old law, and it is a fact
beyond dispute that they are keep
ing in force the old practice of
working the roads in a decidedly
“ship-shod - ’ and ineffectual way.
The road commissioners and over
seers are fully empowered to en
force the law, but, as one of them
remarked to us several days ago,
they dislike to cause their neigh
bors inconvenience, and thereby
engender ill-will. The law pro
vides penalties, but defaulters are
rarely dealt with strictly.
Just now complaint is made
that farm hands injure the roads
by plowing across the ruts where
the fields are not inclosed by
fences. This complaint has been
made annually since the stock law
went into effect, and attention has
been called to the fact by more
than one Grand. Jury. Such dam
aging tresspass upon the public
roads is unlawf ul, and the remedy
is in the hands of the road com
missioners. If the commissioner
in each district would notify each
land owner that he will be held
strictly accountable to the law for
the misconduct of the hands on
his farm in plowing into the
roads, and then report alLwho dis
regard the warning, the practice
will be stopped.
It is not at all agreeable to ride
over a road that has besh cut up
by plows, and if persuasion will
not abate the nuisance, the power
of the law siionld be used.
Probably the grand jury that
will convene on the first Monday
in April next may see fit to men
tion the names of a few road offi
cials in their presentments.

—Last Friday Mr. S. D. Bogers
went to Americas to attend the
burial of Ms father, Mr. Seth
Bogefs, who died at his home
there’ on Thursday. In this sore
bereavement, the sympathy of
many friends is cordially extended.
Mir. Seth Bogers was about 64

The attention of our County
Commissioners is respectfully call
ed to the following complaint,
which was published in the Hawk
insville Dispatch last week. If
the bridge is in bad condition, it
should certainly be repaired.
“People who cross Big Creek on
the Lawson bridge, between Pu
laski and Houston counties, have
requested us to, say something of
the bad condition of the 'bridge,
and to suggest to the Boaa Com
missioners of Houston county the
importance of some improvement,'
Will the Hoke Journal please
mention the matter?”
A commissioner told us yester
day that arrangements are now be
ing perfected to repair the bridge
mentioned above.
located that several thousand
stocks can be piled upon it, and by
means of a car and track, can be
drawn into the mill by steam pow
er, saving the cost of using a team
in the yard. It is intended to fur
nish dimension lumber, boards,
sheathing,. etc. When the ma
chinery is all in position, lumber
will be fitted and dressed for all
purposes and dimensions. It is ex
pected that the people of Perry
will patronize and encourage! home
enterprise. The _company will be
prepared to build upon . order,
wardrobes, cupboards, kitchen
safes, refrigerators, and make any
repairs needed on inside or out
side of buildings. Packing boxes
and fruit crates will be made to
order, any sizes, and at low prices.
The main business of the company
this year will be the manufacture
of brooms. The raising of the
corn will be distributed among the
farmers to a limited extent, and all
who apply first can make arrange
ments with Mr. J. W. Clark or
Mr. C. H. Moore. As the crop is
as easy to raise as sorghum, and
will come off in Jtily and August,
it will not only be profitable to the
farmer, but will give a chance to
get funds long before the 'tedious
cotton crop is ready for market.
- The grist mill will be ready as
soon as the building is .erected,
and it will certainly be a comfort
to the people of Perry to knGw that
they will not be obliged to haul
corn four miles to mill. It may
be well to say a word here in re
gard to water ground meal. Some
people imagine that meal ground
in any other way cannot be good.
This is only superstition. It mat
ters not what turns the stone,
whether water, steam or mule
power. The secret is all in the
velocity and quality of the stones,
and the experience of the miller.
Small and swift running stones
will produce heated and uneven
meal. This is the result of many
small steam mills. The stones to
be used by the company are the
best iEsopus, and 42 inches in di
ameter.
The gin mill will be erected in
season for the crop, and will be
furnished with the most improved
gin, condenser, and power press.
Cotton will be ginned for toll, cash
or seed. The market price will be
paid for all seed. The most im
proved appliances will be provided
for loading and unloading. _
Cash will be paid for good stocks
delivered in the yard, or sawing
will be done on sharfes, This' com
pany is composed of sr& of the
leading merchants of Perry, two
lawyers, one' doctor, and others,
and they do not intend to stop with
the present plan of operations. It
is probable that iit another year
buckets or tubs will be added, giv
ing employment to more people
and greatly increasing the busi
ness of Perry. By the little
amount of money already paid to
those in the employ of the com
pany, it is certain some of it has
found its way into-every merchant’s
till in the town. In this way ev

Well, . Mr. Editor, it seems that
the battery is fully opened upon
our worthy commissioners. I ex
pect to hear some big guns from
that direction ’ere long. The many
grave charges preferred against
them of ignoring the interests of
our noble old county and their
constituents, if proven, mil cer
tainly bring shame on that body.
But Mr. Editor, fact^ are proof,
and we hope to see that honorable
body show themselves "up to be
fully identified with the interests of
the people, and to the welfare of
the county; I was told by. one com
missioner that he antagonized many
of the late actions of that body; es
pecially in the jail matter; but
wa3 overruled. "Let him show
himself up to the people. It does
seem that they have turned that
office into a money machine.
Bur.
Feb. 20tb, 1887.
Dear Journal: "With the kind
offer-of your columns to the com
missioners to vindicate themselves,
I shall make a few statements,
wMch may suffice:
As to jafl cells, the action of our
last grand jury has certainly hot
been forgotten, and the only ques
tion for the commissiohers to de
cide was.whetber they should patch
up the old cells, at a considerable
Cost, witEout getting rid of. the
trouble complained of, or whether
we should put in new cells that
would answer the demands of our
juries. As to coat, we had only
two bids that complied with onr
advertisement for new cells, and
there was very little difference in
these bids.
As to the Poor House, we have
appointed a purchasing agent, who,
we trust, will give satisfaction!
As to the matting and bridge
acts* the complaints of your citi
zens may have been somewhat
hasty, and yet not altogether with
out foundation, for this trouble
comes from a misguided action of
the commissioners, which was to
sign two or three, blank orders to
be left in the hands of one of the
commissioners to fill out for small
amounts, to pay off hands who
were unwilling to wait for our
next meeting.
That action I opposed, for these
reasons: First, that we would be
delegating the action of the com
missioners to one m!m. Second,
that he might pay some bill that
would be objectionable. Where
upon the assurance wa3 given.that
these acts would be brought in to
be passed upon by the board.
Consequently neither of these acts
have been acted upon, but I am
satisfied will be made all right at
bur next meeting.
My short connection with the
board precludes fuller notice from
me of most of the complaints
made, some of which could have
been made with equal justice at
any time witMn the past several
years.

-In reference to the proposed
effort on the part of Houston.to
secure the' $1,00(1 premium at the
next state fair, the Telegraph says,
“There & no county id the state
whieh the Macon people' would
rather see the big plum go.”
Mr. Jobn King is one of the
oldest citizens in this portion of
the county. He is now living
with his third wife; his home is on
Sandy Bun Creek. Some time
back one of Aunt Nancy’s pet
hens was murdered, while sitting
on her nest, and carried off. The
crime was Charged to an old wild
cat, as his tracks were plain, and
he went towards the creek. Uncle
Johnny was trumped a little, as
ha had no dog to run the cat with.
So he had to resort to stategy.
He said when an old man married
he had to show his love by his
works. So Uncle Johilny; as he
is called by all, went to work to
catch the cat. He made a coop
down bn the creek and put a few
chickens in it, so that that the cat
would be attracted by the noi&o
they made. Around the coop he
set several beaver traps, and cover
ed them lightly with litter/ so as
to hide them from view. He then
withdrew, and it ia certain that he
has been rewarded for all his la
bor, as well as for the loss of his
hen. He caught and killed two
cats, and has the pleasure of know
ing that other cats left soma of
their toes in the traps. Doubtless
it was quite comforting to his wife
to believe that the cat that mur
dered her hen had been killed.
While the traps were doing this
good service, it seems they were
in the. way. of others. Willis
Franklin and a son of Harvey
Smith were out hunting last Fri-
day night. Franklin says his dogs
had “got up” a cat, the spotted
hound leading, when all at once
he heard the spotted dog howl.
He ran down toward the creek,
and he heard another dog howl,
and about the time he got there
the other dog began howling. He
found Ms three dogs' around Un
cle Johnny’s chicken coop\ each
one fastened in a steel trap, writh
ing and howling. The dogs .were
soon released, and the hunters
went their way rejoicing that mat
ters were no worse, but the dogs
wouldn’t leave their liberators
again that night Others being
bothered with bats can profit by
Uncle Johnny’s plan.
