invested in manufacturing enter

'th?it fweirfy or twenty-five articles

be manufactured by the Perry

belong in the fronfcf rank, with the

to the county, and serve to yield
profit to the owners, and prove to
all that manufacturing in Houston

products at the next state fair, af
fords our people an opportunity
of illustrating the merits of Hous
ton county. Houston is equal to
any county in the state in agricul
tural advantages, and it is worth
the trouble to advertise the fact.
Houston can win the premium if
bur fanners so will it,and it pleases
ns to see that a step has been taken
in that direction.
Just now the South is the centre
of attraction, and tiie first prize in.
a coptest of counties at the next
state fair, will be an advertisement
of exceeding great value to the
winner. The premium will be con
tested for sharply, and indifference
can’t secure it. An earnest effort
must be made, in which all of our
pregressive farmers and manufact
urers must actively participate.
The work must be commenced
now, and at once every farmer
should determine that bis farm
must produce several products of
superior merit, samples of which
will form a part of the Houston
exhibit at the state fail*. That ex
hibit sho&ld contain samples of
every product of the county; of
the farm, the orchard, the garden,
the apiary, the workshop and the
factory. Hot simply the chief
products, but all. f Then, every
sample shonld]be of superior mer
it. This will present a combina
tion of quantity, variety and qua!
ity that cannot, in onr opinion, be
surpassed by any county in the
state.
The writer is not engaged m
farming, but he now engages to
furnish at feast two samples of
farm products to be placed with
the county exhibit . There is no
reason why every farmer in the

paid $3 00 lor a peck of the
seed last season. I planted it the
first of June, but it was not work

good stand. It should be planted
in rows 3£ to 4 feet apart; chopped
out 12 to 15 inches apari, and from
three to four stalks left in a hill
It makes finer straw, and when in

more for it. It is not more than
half as much trouble to make as a
cotton crop, and will double cotton
in money. If planted by the mid

In accordance with the constitn-

the members' of the perry Public
Library are hereby notified that
fae annual election of officers will
take place on the evening of the
25th inski (4th Friday night in
March) at Library Hall. All
members and friends of tiie-library
are requested and incited to at

—There are some as choice flow

The japonicas and other flowers

—Mrs. J. M. Jenkins returned
to Houston last Friday from Rock
Ledge, Florida, where she had
been during the last two months.
She is visiting relatives in Perry,
and her parents Mr. and Mrs. L. D.
Norwood, near Perry.
—A Cbminiesioner notified us a
few days, ago that he intended to
write and offer foir publication a
detailed explanation of all the
questions.involved in the charges
made against the Houston County
Commissioners. The article will
be published When offered.
—Mrs. C. R. Hodges, recently
of Galveston, Texas, is in Perry,
the guest of the family of her
brother-in-law, Mr. J. H. Hodges.
Shd will spend two or three weeks
here, and then join her husband
at Washington, D. C., where he
occupies a government position in
the post office department.
—Rev. J. W. Db'mihgos has
made a virtue of necessity and be
come an inventor. His inyentiort
is>a contrivance by means of which
he can sit in his buggy and “lead”
his horse off when he balks. The
“leader” is an effectual movement
persuader to a balky horse. We
advise owners' of balky horses to
confer with Mr. Domingos.
—Mr. J. W. Clark planted two
acres in watermelons just outside
of Perry last Monday. Others
will plant for the early crop soon.
We have no positive information
on this subject, but it is supposed
thet the area devoted to water
melons will be about the same
this year as last About two hun
dred acres near Perry "were culti
vated in melons last year. Barring
providential injury, Mr. Clark will
gather ripe melons" On Si About the
20th Of Jihfe*
Houston will seedre the “big
plum,” and renderjherself famous
throughout the Union.
The call issued by the Idyl
Wylde Society for a meeting in
Perry on the first Saturday in
April, is a means that will, surely
lead to tip proposed end if it
meets with a liberal response
from our farmers and manufactu
rers. The county association is
needed on general principles, but
it is.especially needed now for the
special work that is to be done.
There is no particle of sectional
ism in this movement, and *it is
hoped that every district in the
county will be fully represented.
We do not propose here to cat
out work for the proposed associa
tion to 'dd, but will say that every
district should be apportioned to
specified workers, and at-once
every producer should be induced
to promise something for exhibi
tion.
We have seen already several
farmers who are enthusiastic on
the subject, and they heartily
agree with us that Houston can’t
be beat, if Houston will do ber
best. In order that Horiston may
do her best, the organization of a
bounty association of agriculture
and manufactures is called for.
Remember the first Saturday in
April, at the couirt house in Perry!

Editor Home JournaE: , My
letter in the last issue of the Home
Journal hSs been construed by
some as a reflection upon the in
tegrity of Mr. W. M. Gordon, late
Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioner^. Mr. Gordon is
imy personal friend, and I certain
ly did not intend to make any at
tack upon him. My object was
solely to explain the: action of the
Board, of which I am now Chair
man, in matters aboxit which there
appeared to be so much misunder
standing. I will say my official
intercourse with Mr.-Gordon has
been uniformly pleasant, and ther.e
has certainly been nothing in his
adts that would forfeit my confi
dence in him.
My letter was riot intended as a
personal satire, but was intended
as a plain, unvarnished state merit
of facts in reference to the official
acts of the Board; and of each in-
dividuol member of the Board.

Elder Tharp concluded. His sub
