Though we call this new ticket “Independent,”,]it is also depend ent. A majority of the men com- posing.it are]negroes,—totally an- stews that were well cooked liberallysuppiiedTwifh oysters.

There | democrats wi!l all go to the polls 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 floated Ihzily in the west, and as the brilliant visitor would be for a farmers m the ueighborhood of ^ ^ ■ ,. ghtea ?p onJ made resplendent as with the rising sun. Taken altogether, it was a scene pr rare brilliancy, and one that may not be repeated in a lifetime.

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.

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. —The alliance convention to be held at Perry next Thursday and Friday, 3rd and 4th days of Jana ary, wili be composed of about 60 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.
