it best not to attempt fthe enter

Miss Sallie jjSpears, of Macon,!
—We have heard some of our

—W© are gratified to note that
the ladies’ lunch room is being
libterally patronized. All who take
a meal there once are apt to be

ford, and the service is complete.
The ice cream and sherbets are de
licious. If you have nbt already
done so, patronize the lunch room.
—The spring session of York
High School will close on Friday,
14th mst.- Prof. E. E. Miller, the
principal, has prepared an inter
esting programme oj^ exercises,
and,the public generally is invited
to attend. The Perry string bands
has been engaged to furnish music
for the occasion, and if court has
adjourned by that time, doubtless
quite a number of our citizens will
attend. - '
Who Cau Tell?
We have been requested to state
that no known records of the
Georgia Militia district lines of
Houston county are now in exist
ence, at least no present county
official knows anything of them,
and the county map recently pur-,
chased and hung in the Clerk’s
office, does not in any way desig
nate these lines. •
If a question of jurisdiction
should arise in any Justice court
in the eounty, who would be qual
ified to decide the question?
donld it be satisfactorily settled
in this county under the existing
state of affairs ?-
We merely mention this matter
incidentally, as requested. We do
not know whose business it is to
furnish and beep these records, or
l£ they are necessary at all. It
seems to us that they are neces
sary, from the fact that thay were
at one time in existence.
The attention of oaf county
commissioners is called to tbe'm af
ter, as probably they know best
what is needed for the county.
Closing 1 Exercises.
The closing exercises. of the
spring session of Houston Male
and Female High School will take
place next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. On account
of the trial now in progress here,
and the fact that a great number
of onr citizens will be engaged
with the court, it was thought best
not to have any of the exercises
during the day.
On Monday night will occur the
contest in declamation, calisthen
ics, awarding of prizes.
Tuesday niglit, musical concert
under the direction of Mrs. C. T.
Lawson, instructress in music; a
musical play from Mother Goose’s
Melodies.
Wednesday night the exercises
will conclude with a very interest
ing charade.
The public generally are invited,
and we can assure our readers that
a most interesting programme has
been arranged.
—The annual election of offi
cers of the.Perry Rifles took place
at their armory last Tuesday night.
All the commissioned officers were
unanimously re-elected, and bat
few changes occurred among the
non-commissioned officers. Mr.
W. E. Fuller was changed from
2d Corporal to 2d Sergeant; Mr.
E. Ragin was changed from 4th
Sergeant to 3rd Sergeant; Dr. L.
A. Felder was elected 1st Corporal,
and Mr. L. M. P^ul 2nd Corporal.
Lieut. C. E. Gilbert was re-elected
Treasurer, and Mr. Edgar Brun
son was elected Secretary. The
election was very harmonious, and
the company is in a flourishing
condition in every respect.
—Mr. Rob Slappey, of Twiggs
eounty, paid the Home JouSnal
office a most pleasant visit last
Monday afternoon. Mr. Slappey
is well acquainted with the earlier
history of Perry and Houston
county. He has a wonderful mem
ory for a man of his age, and has
a full $toi*e of anecdotes and remi
niscences. He is splendid com
pany, and we trust that he will
call again whenever he comes this
*
—We have been told that Mr.
E. L. Dennard contemplates hav
ing an artesian well sunk on his
stock farm at the Riley place, two
miles from Perry. When all the
contemplated improvements are
added to this farm, there will be
no prettier* or more convenient
place in the state. Mr. Dennard

plans for his fine residence and
barns, etc.

Mr. Daniel Vinson and family
spent last Friday on the river
fishing. He reports having caught

ner, and had some to bring home.
The fa.«ners’of this section are
very busy, aflpjsav they hope Tom
Woolfolk will get justice without
having to interfere with then-
business. This is certainly a busy
season with the farmers, and their
time is worth a great deal’to them
in their farms.
One of the heaviest rains we
have seen fall in many a day, fell
at this piace.last Thursday. It’s
scope was narrow, ranging about
two miles in width. The rain fell
in torrents for about fifteen min
utes, and the levels around about
here were for a short time covered
with water, and one place, which
came under the observation of the
writer, was a 40-acre field of cotton
almost entirely covered with wa
ter. No great damagejwas done,
however, as the water did not
stand long enough to kill vegeta
tion.
