Mrs. Hook’s new dwelling on Main street will be erected as soon as the material can be secured. Contracts for lumber, brick and work have been made. —Religious services have been held at the Perry Baptist church every night this week, a week of prayer service having been begun there last Monday night. The Perry Public School opened Monday, with 67 pupils, and the indications are that num ber will be.increased to at least one hundred withiu the next week. Mrs. M. C.

He has worked faitblully, and the copying has been neatly and correctly done. —If a county fair is to -be held in Houston county this year,. the preparatory work cannot he com menced too early. Of course we would prefer that such a fair be held at Perry, but the Home Journal . will work for it, regard less of where it is to be held. —At the regular meeting Mon-’ day night the Perry city council established fire-limits, within which the erection of wooden buildings will cot be allowed. The limits include Carroll street from. Washington street to Avant’s stables, and Bull street from Car- roll to Main. A'special grand jury investigated are placed on trial. _ .Jim Bntts was placed on trial the court that the j YYithin less than an hour after iclerke&qnireof fheoarties through { ..

Johnson, Jim Butts, Mann Hall, Glen Lawson, Mose Gibson, Alfred McGehee, Iskam McGehee and Hector Stubbs. When the case was called, Jndge Miller appointed Hon. H. _A. Matthews and Judge A. S. Giles to defend Ed. Johnson, and Hons, fi. N. Holtzclaw and A. C. Riley to defend Jim Butts. The other prisoners had employed as counsel Messrs. W. C. Winslow, E. L. Felder and A. S. Giles. Ed Johnson was formally ar raigned. The indictment as read lengthy, containing six counts, charging each - of the prisoners with murder, so worded as to guard against any escape by means of any technical defect in the indictment When asked, “are you guitly, or not guilty,” Ed John son answered: “I don’t knew anything about it”, Through counsel, the other prisoners waived formal indicia ment. Counsel having decided to sever, the effort to secure a jury to try Eel Johnson was at once begun. The first panel of 24 was called. Out of the first twelve 1 juror was accepted, 3 disqualified -foy cause, and the prisoner objected to six. Of the next twelve, No. 6 was ac cepted as a juror, 4 went off for cause, and the. prisoner objected to.seve i. Out of the next panel of 24, nine more jurors' were accept ed, and 7 were objected to by the prisoner. The prosecution used their privilege to strike one time. The 49th man called was accept ed, and the jury to try the- case was made up, as follows: I J F Scarborough 2 F W-Hardy 3 Win Joiner 4 E W Leaptrot 5 W D Pierce ; 6 AF Barfield 7 T J Fagan 8 J F Logan 9 J A Smith 10 S T Hurst II C F Gatlin 12 R J Smith. The sun had set when the last juror was secured, and when Judge Miller had given the bailiff in charge instructions concerning the jurors, and requested Sheriff Cooper' to secure quarters for them,.court adjourned to Tuesday morning.. Solicitor W. H. Felton repre- serts the stsite, aDd Col. C. C. Duncan is special counsel for the prosecutor. The examination of witnesses was commenced at -8:30 o-’clock Tuesday morning, an.d this work was concluded at about ■ 3 o’clock p. m. Each of the^attorneys spoke,^and the last speech was concluded at' about 4 o’clock. Judge Miller then delivered his .charge—his maiden charge as Su perior court judge—The charge was clear and distinct in every particular, leaving no chance for the jurors to misconstrue the law, or the application of the testimony in the case. He was deliberate, and occupied about twenty min utes in giving the case to the jury. The evidence was circumstan tial, but:, exceptionally strong against the prisoner, the chain of circumstances being complete. About the strongest point of ev idence against Ed. Johnson was that of Mr. Okarlton Johnson. He it was who arrested Edk Johnson in Macon.. Upon approaching the prisoner afterwards in Bibb connty •jail, Ed cursed him, and declared that had he (Ed) known that it was the purpose of the captor to arrest him for the murder of Capt. Miller he would have shot him through. Mr. Johnson replied, “Why, Ed., you will make me believe directly that you did kill Mr. Miller, down in Houston.”- “Ido not deny kill: ing old man Miller,” said Ed., .“and if I had a chance, Td kill you, too. : This was substantiated by other circumstances. It was proven that Johnson had conspired with others to commit he robbery; that he was at Tom Hall's house Saturday after noon before the killing, and that lie hadrno money at that time; that he left there late that afternoon, going toward Capt. Miller’s, and that he returned to Hall s about midnight: that he had a large lot of silver money Sunday morning after the murder, and that he left that neigh borhood early Sunday morning, and never returned. There was also other testimony connectin him with' the crime. The jury remained out not moie then ten miniites, ;?hen the follow ing verdict wus returned: “We, the jury, find the defendant, Ed. Johnson, guilty. Signed, W. D. Pierce, Foreman.” work of securing a jury was begun at once. Forty-eight men were put on their voire dire, and from that number the trial jury was se cured, as follows: A -T Garvin. Hardy Powell, J G Leverett, DM Thompson, S D Gun-, Wm Harper, ERagin, T D Guvr, J H Davis, ' R E Bnniam, Jere Thompson, B J Harrison. In securing this jury the defense objected to twenty men placed upon tbe prisoner, while the prosecution did not strike at all. The taking of testimony began at about ten o’clock, and the case will probably be concluded to-day. It is known that the evidence is equally as strong against him as against John son, and all believe that his convic tion issnre. The substance of the testimony against him will be pub lished in onr next issue. - We understand that four of the prisoners will be tried next, and then the two others. It is possible that all may be tried this week, although a portion of next week may be consumed. -Thongn the case 'is attrateting intense interest, there has been no evidence of excitement. Judge Miller presides with grace and dignity, and his rulings are just, and strictly in accordance with law. In order that the difficulty of se curing trial jurors may be redaced to the. minimum, jurors not actual ly serving are not allowed to re main in the court room while wit nesses are being examined. Judge A. C. Riley-. The judgeship of the Houston county court, made vacant by the appointment of Judge Miller to the Superior court bench, has been filled by the appointment of Hon. A. C. Riley, of Fort Valley. Judge Riley is about 35 years old, has practiced iaw about ten years, -has been twice chosen may or of Fort Valley, and for several years has been local attorney for the Central Railroad'and Banking Company. He is well versed in law, thoroughly capable in every respect to fill the position to which he has been appointed. As a man and lawyer he is held in high es teem by all who know him, and it has been proven that his executive ability is of a high orden The next regular session of the County court will be held on the 3rd Monday, the 18th inst., and it is not likely that he will hold court before that time. He will move to Perry to live as soon as all necessary arrangements man be made. Our people congrat ulate him, and will cordially wel come kirn and his excellent family to Perry. —Five of the largest hogs in Georgia were raised iu Houston connty, and are now in fine condi tion for the slaughter pen. It is estimated that they will yield 2,500 pounds of pork,and it is apprehend ed that there will be difficulty in devising a way to scald them, as there is no vessel in the county large enough to hold any one of them. These hogs are owned re spectively by Messrs. Zach Hays, D. F. Gunn, YVayne Bashing, M. F. Gorsett and Dan Thompson, all above. Mossey creek. When these hogs are killed, we desire a report of the exact weight of-each, for publicalin in the Home Journal. We also desire for publication the veigkt of every other extra heavy hog killed in Houston county. —; »»•». . •Masters Claude Bateman and Forest Edwards deserve the com mendation of our entire people fpr an act they did last Monday. They were'out hunting, and when about to cross tbe railroad near Bay creek, they discovered a broken rail, that was such position as would, have been likely to derail the train. They waited patiently for an hour or more, and waived the approaching train to stop. The rail was fixed, the passengers and the crew thanked the boys heartily, and the train passed safe ly. It is almost certain that a se rious accident was averted, and their act is. more Tcommendable from the fact young boys are. not usually so thoughtful as they were in this instance. j in Houston Superior Court, eight; road from J. F. Reirfroe’s plant;!.-! negroes being before the court {jin {p the G. S, & F, railroad, j charged with the murder of - Capt Wm. Miller, of Houston. Judge Miller is admirably ea pacitated to fill the place he occu pies, and the people of the Macon circuit, are to be congratulated that he was appointed. He was reared near Augusta, but became a citizen of Perry about 22 years ago. In 1870 he began the practice -of law here. He has served three terms in the Georgia legislature, as a represent ative of Houston county, was a member of the commission under whom the new Georgia state capi tol was built, and for nearly two years has been Judge of the Houston connty coart. J n every position, public or pri vate, he has performed his duty honestly and ably. His.knowledge of law is fully-equal to tbe require ments'of tbs high place lie occu pies, and liis inate love of justice will lead him to grace the place eminently- He is a true man, in every re spect, and his many friends are truly glad of his promotion. However, there is a tinge of re gret mixed.with the pleasure his friends hel-e feel, and that is be cause of the apprehension that in the future his citizenship will be moved from Perry. However, he will remgin here for tbe present. When the news of Judge Gus ein’s resignation first reached Per-_ ry, Judge Miller had no idea of’ becoming a candidate, but when it was learned that Judge Notting ham woald not allow his name used, Judge Miller’s friends asked for the place, with the result above named. When "Ihe appointment was made Hon. W; B. HU], of. Macon, was a candidate, strongly support ed by a majority of the M&con bar. Judge Miller is able to go high er, and we hope to see him a judge of'the Supreme Court of Geo.igia. ■Houston Superior Court. The adjourned term of Houston Superior Court was convened last Thursday morning at about 10 o’clock, Judge Gustiu presiding. Tbe special grand jury to inves tigate the Miller murder case was empanelled, and Mr. G. M. T. Feagiu was chosen foreman of that bpdy. Judge Gustin’s charge was uort, plain and specific. The case for which the adjourn ed term was originally called in- volved a settlement of the estate of the late Dr. Edgeworth. Much law was involved, and the attorneys consented, to a trial before the j adge, and the traverse jury was dismissed. At noon Friday the grand jury returned a true bill against eight negroes for the murder of Capt. Wm. Miller. The names of those negroes are set forth in another column. Directly after noon the grand jury adjourned, without transacting any other business. The court adjonrned at noon Saturday, until Monday. At 2 o’clock Monday afternoon,- the court- was again convened, Judge A. L. Miller presiding, and the Miller .murder case was taken up. The report of this case will be found in another column. —Recently important events have transpired in various sections of Houston county, of which the Home Journal received no infor mation. Consequently, we were unable to publish the facts to onr readers. It is onr desire to give the complete news of the county, but we cannot do so unless onr friends in the several localities report to us- when anything of general interest occurs. There fore, we ask our friends to tell, or write ns, of every happening that would be interesting to our read ers. —Mr. J. D. Martin suffered slight money loss last Friday night About 8 o’clock the front door of his store was found open, and upon investigatiou about S1.00 in small change all left in the drawer, was missing. The conclusion was reached that the thief was hidden in' the store yhen Mr. Martin closed for the night. The ckarac ter of the money—1-cent pieces— led to the detection of the thief, a young son of Gary White, colored. It was further found that his twin brother was an accessory, waiting and watching outside. Owing to —Houston farmers are specially anxious for cold’weather, in order that they may kill their hogs- The hogs are fat, and the corn they are now eating amounts almost to that much total loss. Besides, cholera has attacked the hogs in some sections of the county, and fear§ are entertained that the dis ease may appropriate ’ a greater portion of the pork crop. —We hope the members of ev ery sub-alliance in tbe county will ester contests among themselves the age of the beys, the affair was j for tne .best resn;:. in raising corn, near Maxwell-bridge, will pass, whether the road hands are willing to work said road, provided it is made public, and to; have said in formation by the next term of this- eonrt.
