Please. Excuse JIh.
It is not pieasaui; to apologise
but circr.mstanees force us to of
fer it ftflirtl \'l apology to our read
ers for the miserably printed pa-
pkper sentotit last week. It was
oar misfortune, not our fault, and
ue hope our subscribers will ex-
t-ufie us. The cause was mistaken
tionfelence.
About two* month* ago we pur
chased a second-hand cylinder
printing press, represented to
!*e in lirss-cluss working order.
The press was]received and' “set
hp” but we have .been unable to
make it print a paper, though two
experienced presSmeui have ex
hausted their ingenuity in trying
h> make it do the work it was
guaranteed by the seller to do.
- In trying to use this press we
did sortie injserable printing last
*eek- .This week the Home
Journal is printed on bur old
pi-ess, and probably will be so
printed for the next several weeks.
The phftieS from whom we
nought tile cylinder press have
been notified of the condition of
fiffu.irs, .and. we hope they will
make good the defe'ftts of the ma
chine. Otherwise, there is litiga
tion in sight..
In any evfeiit, the promised en-
fiirgement-of the paper must tffec-
essnrily be deferred. However,
Wa will make good our promise as
soon as possible; and in the mean
time we beg pur readers to wait
patiently for the increase in size.
While getting ready m grow,
we’ll do the best we can with, the
Old press, giving fresh news each
Week in the same old “form.”

The railroad co:Sftiflissio'ff of
Georgia hat-3 established the fol
lowing new rules governing - the
railroad-fare of passengers:'
“No more than standard passen-
' ger tariif-shall lie charged 7 passen
gers to and' from: flag stations,
ph other stations where : tickets'at#
not kept on sale.
When, in consequence of the
uncertain. time of arrival or de
parture of a delayed train, it is
impracticable for tickets to be pur-,
chased, no more than regular
standard passenger faxiS shall be
Charged. .
Where’a railroad 1 Company has
provided agents and offices,- ready
and open for the sale of tickets,
and passengers, for want of proper
diligence fail to. supply tliemselyes
therewith before getting on . the
train, then four centslper mile for
each passenger twelve, years old
and over, and-f^o. cents pet mile
for each passenger fiver five years
old and under twelve may be' de
manded and collected.”
eracy was dead.
He died at New Orleans Thurs
day night, the immediate cause of
his death being a congestive chill.
Though ih feeble health for sev
eral years, he was confined to his
bed only about a week before his
death.
He was about 82 years old, a
man who was heartily loved by the
entire people of the south. In
him centered tflh principles of the
lost cause, and tipcm his head bad
been emptied the wrath and bit
terness of the northern dema
gogues. He died as he had lived
for more than a quarter of a cen
tury, a native resident, though
not a citizerf of the United States.
The entire south is in inotirning,
and already there is a movement
-on foot to raise a fitting memorial
fund for his wife and Miss Winnie,
and to erefct a monflment to his
memory.
Several cities have tendered per
manent burial places; and the tel
egrams of'condolence hate been

The cities of the south hate been
draped in mourning, and on the
state buildings the flags were .low

hour Hon. Jefferson Drt'vis, ex-
PreSident Of the Confederacy will

Gov. Gordon, a committee of
Coufe'derath'veteransand a'detach-
meut of the Gate, City- Guard left
Atlanta Monday evening for New
Orleans, attended the funeral of
Hon. Jefferson Davis yerterday,
near Yieksburg, Mississippi. .
-
The; above proclatnalien was
strictly observed. The armory of
the Perry Rifles was tastefully
draped in mourning.
During the funeral hour a citi
zens’ meeting v ; as 4 held in the
court house, and the following res
olutions were adopted:.
“We, the people of Perry, Hous
ton county, Ga., in mass meeting
assembled, desire to make known
to our fellow-citizens of the'United
States, and 5 to’ the world, the. sen
timents we cherish concerning our
great chief and ‘ leader, JeffersOn
Davis, and the cause he more than
all others represented. We love
and revere his memory,-as we loved
and revered the man in life. We
regarded Mm as eminently tfle
apostle of political liberty on this
continent, and his conception and
interpretation of the United-States
constitution is our conception and.
interpretation, and our children
shall be taught h> so construe that
instrument down to the latest gen
eration. -
His political enemies are and
shall ever be our political enemies.
He served his people, who 7 loved
him, above all others, and now
that he is dead' and gone from
amongst ns, we commend his soul
to the Keeper of things, in the
full and assured confidence that
He will finally briDg MhfhT great
glory and peace in an abode re
served for such as him—The pure
in heart.
Resolved, farther, that we as a
people, extend to Mrs. Davis and
family our. heartfelt sympathy in
the- hour of tbeir-sad bereavement.
Resolved, T{iat these-resolutions

Dear Journal: I take the
liberty, hs Well as pleasure, of send
ing you the locals of our section:
The fail oat crop is looking well,
as the stands are fine.
The fTeefcy staple has about all
been gathered in, and I am happy
to state that the crop has generally
been satisfactory to the husband
man.
-Corn has yielded bountifully,
and our section will llaVe no cause
to feed western corn next year, as
it has made more than enough to
snpport it. -
Field peas werb gefaer&l.'y good,
and some have made an abundance
of them. Taking everything into
consideration, the condition of our
farmers is much improved, and 1
hear no complaint from any oue
who has closely watched over his
business.
The health of our section was
never better.
Well, I see from your last issue
that the election to put in opera-
tton the educational bill for Ferry,
was nearly unanimous in favor of
the law, whiciiis a good thing for
Perry, and siioivs that she is pro
gressing in the right direction for
her good: but 1 can’t say for the
good of the county at large. I
think that public education in the
towns of Perry andr Fort Talley
will injure the farming interests of
the courtly; it certainly will if tlie
object aimed at by the friends of
the bill is obtained; Public educa
tion in Perry will increase the pop
ulation of Perry, and by that
•means increase' the value of The
real estate, if that is so, the fam
ilies of some in the rural districts
yill move to the towfif that flare
public education to get the Bene
fit of it, and- probably thru’ over
their farms to irresponsible per
sons, who will hot do much ih till
ing the soil without a boss.
Now, if public education is good
for Perry and Ftir’t 'Valley; Which^
the people have shoWn by their
votes, why should it not be' a .good
thing for Houston comity; add the
stnte of Georgia? Let tfhe farm
ers have some of the advantages of
education, aneb do away with the
idea that we have to mote to town
to get the benefit of public educa
tion. To show you the advantages
that a county derives from public
education;I wffl.cati. yon. id ofir

It is plainly evident that the re

dozing, -in' c’onjunction with the re- j an f a Constitution, and that a copy

Every thing.oil a political charac

. standpoint of antagonism to the
democratic party,-and not' with a
view'of benefiting-- the people or

Speaker Reed is treating the
democrats rather shabbily in mak
ing his committee appointments.
So far he has not consulted the
democrats, but has given tSeiA t tj 8 so jj.
places on the committees in acebrd-' '' ’ ’

and the leadlrs cf his party in the
house. Several.committees, among
them the ways and means, 'and tkef
elections, have been announced:'

any way for a ; 6ounty to be .pros
