Military Entertainment.

Though we call this new ticket
“Independent,”,]it is also depend

At about eight o’clock the mask

were several visitors present, both
as]spectators and among the par
ticipants.
At about 9 o’clock the"prize drill
began; 7 With Lieutenants Artope
and Flyim, of the Southern Cadets
Macon, Ga., as.judges. This drill
was entirely in the manual of
arms, Capt. W. C. Davis command
ing. The boys managed their
guns exceedingly well, making
comparatively few mistakes, and
fewer positive errors. In fact, the
drilling was worthy of much older
soldiers. If they continue to im
prove, ’ere long the Perry Rifles
can rank with the Southern Cadets
—champions of the south—so
pleasantly represented in the
judges Tuesday night. The drill
continued for more than an hour,
at intervals those making mistakes
being requested to retire. Finally
the contest rested between Ser
geant L. F. Cater, Sergeant Ed.
Ragin, and Private Frank M.'-
Houser. These stood the test du
ring several “rounds,” and appa
rently there was no room for a
choice. The company was ordered
to “fall in,” and the spectators did
not know who the victor was, until
Private Frank M. Houser was call
ed to the front. He was liberally
applauded, which increased when
the prize, a sngw white feather
plume, was delivered by Mr. J. P.
Chilean, of Macon.
After a short interval, the bayo
net exercise, an exhibition drill,
was given, only eight of the boys
participating. This was a novel
drill to most of the spectators.
The evolutions were gone through
in excellent style. This concluded
the entertainment, and surely all
felt well paid for attending.
Nearly all the young people re
mained until they only were ill
the court house, and then for
about an hour they constituted a
daDcing party, and thus they con
cluded the pleasure^bf the even
ing, at a very early hour in the
morning.

—Those of our readers who were
fortunate enough-to see the bril
liant meteor that flashed across the
southwestern sky just at the dawn
of day, on last Monday morniDg,
witnessed a sight that will not
soon be forgotten. The direction
of tlie aerolite was from west to
southwest, starting at a point about
Half way between the zenith and
the horizon, and growing larger
and brighter, until it finally disap
peared below the southwestern
horizon. Patches of light cloud

rising sun. Taken altogether, it
was a scene pr rare brilliancy, and
one that may not be repeated in a

The leaders in this movement
are unknown to us, as are the pro
posed independent candidates,-but
their names are subject to our in
spection whenever we so desire.
For a reason of our own, we do not
now desire to know who they are.
This movement is unkind, un
generous, and.a violation of posi
tively implied promises. In the
primary nomination last July,
nine-tenths of the white voters of
the county participated. Every
it is guaranteed that the Academy
will not be used for school pur
poses during the' continuance of
the contract.
For the.ensuing term the school
will be taught by Profs. Kennedy
and Tigner as Associate principals.
Later we will probably give the
arrangement in full.
This action is eminently to the
advantage of Perry, and we com
mend the trustees as gentlemen
who earnestly desire to advance
the educational interests of our
many i children, and the material interests
of our town. L,
—The inmates of the Houston
county poor house were treated to
au elegant Christmas dinner last
Tuseday, Mrs. J. N. Tuttle and
Mrs. J. W, Colyer furnishing the
feast. These ladies were accompa
nied by Mr. L. S. Tounsley, and
we are informed that the dinner
was as complete - as a veteran epi
cure could desire. Their noble
kindness to the poor cannot be too
highly commended, and could be
iiic cuuutj; emulated often to the joy of our
candidate positively promised to ■ . . ,
suppoit the nominees, and ev
ery one who voted then should feel
honor bound to vote for the nomi
nees next Wednesday. .
Tbo nominees are without excep
tion, honest, capable, reliable-men,
and there is no reason or justice
in an effort to defeat them at the
regular election. . Every man who
is a true democrat, and expects to
•uphold straight-forward politics,
should certainly vote and work for
the nominees nest Wednesday.
The nomination was fair ^and the
vote was fullf clearly showing that
the nominees are the choice of a
majority of the democrats of the
county. The democrats must see
that they are elected.
Personal dissatisfaction is not a
good reason to violate a pledge,
no matter whether the pledge was
spoken, or only implied.

delegates and visitors. We under
stand that Stonewall Alliance will
provide a dinner formal of them ou
Thursday, and possibly oii Friday.
We suggest that our people offer
to entertain them at might, and
during the balance of their time
here,.when not engaged in session.
This tvould be only a fitting act of
hospitality. Those willing to en
tertain delegates will please give
their names to the editor of the
Home - Journal, and he will in turn
report to the entertainment com
mittee of -Stonewall alliance. There
are only three alliancemen living
