Then the en gine will quit running back end foremost to Fort Valley. —The next term of Houston Superior court will begin on the 7th day of April. Court should open before noon, or the jurors should not be required to appear until the hour fixed, after noon. —It would not be out of, place for active steps to be taken to in crease the membership of the Perry Public Library at once, as the an nual election of officers will be held on the night of the 21st inst. —The people of Perry should bear in mind constantly that nat ural advantages don’t amount to much without the moving power of progressive energy and enter- yrise, actively and intelligently ap plied. •A number of persons have ex pressed-a desire to see our new press at work. All such we cor dially invite to visit us on Wed nesday or Saturday afternoons at or about the hours of three or four o’clock. —We are inclined to the opin- ion that white farmers of Houston have made fewer mortgages than usual this year, and that more than the usual number have been made by negroes who are farming on rented land. -Many of our people think the fruit crop was killed by the cold weather that began Saturday and chntinued to Tuesday. They say the trees were in the bud, just ready to bloom, and that the cold killed the buds. -Mr. George Paul has contract ed wtih Mr. E. J. Fuller to build him a nice five-room house. Mr. Fuller is to furnish everything and deliver it to Mr. Paul ready for the painter. Mr. Paul has an ex cellent plan and will have a good house. —Dr. Z. Sims has moved his dental office to the building at the corner of Main and Washington streets, formerly occupied as an office by Dr. M. W. Havis, where he will be glad to serve his pa trons when his appointments al low him to be in Perry. —Most of the early vegetables, in the Perry gardens were killed by the recent cold snap. Many gardens were promisingly forward, and their loss a considerable dis appointment,'"but the damage can be repaired by replantings. The total loss of the collard seed crop, which was just maturing, is most regretted. —Mr. A. B. Schilling, our clever merchant taylor, says he has proven to his satisfaction that the dish water and slops from the kitchen will destroy the worms that prey upon fruit trees, if poured around the roots of the trees. He has a choice orchard of trees at his home in Perry, and by practice has gained the above information. Our readers have been informed that a party of farmers and busi ness men from Ohio entered Geor gia last week, for the purpose of inspecting the agricultural, fruit and manufacturing interests of the state. This party was under the leadership of Col. W. L. Glessner, of the Americas Recorder, who is also commissioner of immigration for the Central Eailroad company. The party stopped at Atlanta, Grif fin and Macon, and at each place received an ovation. Saturday morning the party left Macon for Fort Valley, Editor Kersh having met them and assumed charge. At Fort Valley a reception eommittee met the Ohians and- conducted them to the Harris House, where they weremest cordially welcomed by Hon. H. A, Hathews in behalf of the town, and Dr. B. L. Bosain behalf of the farmers. Mr. Albraugh, ex-Speaker of the Ohio House of Eepresentatives, respond ed in behalf of the visitbra Then Capt. Young, of the Central Eail road, was introduced as a Georgia Yankee, and he eloquently spoke of the state of his adoption, and the kindness that had been accorded him by the people of Georgia. The speakers were all happy in their expressions, and to each was accorded a fair share of applause. The visitors were then apportion ed to homes among the citizens. Editor Kersh proved himself a most excellent master of ceremo nies. With the reception meeting, strict formality was cast aside, and a go-as-yon please schedule adopt ed. Daring the afternoon car riages and buggies were ordered, and all enjoyed a ride around the town and immediate, vicinity. Sunday was spent in the city, and the fruit farms around the vicinity, including the famous Willow Lake Nursery, were visited by those who could krave the cold weather. The Home Journal man was in Fort Valley, and was a recipient of the. hospitality accorded the Ohioans, and he testifies that it was far-reaching, and of the genuine Georgia variety. We were most favorably impressed with the visit- They were evidently all well- to-do—some wealthy, und a num ber of them desire to locate in Georgia. We heard that the par ty contained representatives of one of the largest fruit industries in Ohio, and that they desire to lo cate a fruit farm in Georgia. The best land for such a farm is in Houston county, and can be se emed near Fort Valley, Powers- ville, Marshallville, Perry, or in nearly any portion of the county. Judging from the expressions on both sides, Ohio and Georgia cer tainly belong to one -great united country. The excursionists stopped over at Aneer8onyille Monday morning, and than went to Amerieus, where they were cordially received, dined and wined, and given complete possession of the town. The party consists of 18 or 20, including several ladies. Georgia is likely to receive some new citizens on account of this ex- —The Central railroad authori ties have a way of serving the Per ry branch railroad with second hand engines, coaches and track iron. Last Saturday night the train was about an hour late com ing from Fort Valley, owing to the fact the flues of the engine were leaking. A machinist came down from Macon and patched up the engine Sunday. While out peo ple don’t like this treatment, they are gratified that the personal ser vice on the road is strictly first- class. We never knew, a more clever set of men than those' who serve the Perry branch railroad, on the track, on the train and at the depot It might be well for the authorities to consider the fact that it is gross negligence for their track to be of such inferior iron. Should an accident occur, judg ment would certainly be against the road in a suit for damages. Houston Superior Court.

An Attempt to Break Jail. A fruitless, attempt by the pris oners to escape from jail at Perry was discovered by Sheriff Cooper last Sunday morning. The steel lining of cell No. 1 had been cut through about one foot long per pendicularly, and about six inches horizontally at top and bottom of this line. Then an effort was made to force the piece of steel out and break it off. This cell was occupied ■ by the murderers Butts' and Johnson, and the negroes now in jail say Johnson did the catting. This is not true, for the cut place would have been discovered. However, the plan may have been made and the lines laid off by Johnson. Even had the cut piece of plate been taken out, escape would have been impossible, as the opening would have been entirely too small. There are five negro prisoners now in jail: Len. Butherford, Esau Underwood, Jonas Simons, J. W. Maddox, Henry Bell. The first two are charged with assault with intenl;to murder, and the others in the order named with burglary, forgery and breaking a railroad car. All had access to the cell where the attempt to cut through had been made, but all denied doing the work. The instrument used was a steel spring taken from the sole of a shoe. It is about three inches long, with one end placed in a split stick, which makes a handle. This improvised “jail- breaker” was fonnd in another cell underneath the blankets on a cot, These negroes certainly made this attempt, as Sheriff Cooper is entirely too watchful for such a hole to have escaped his attention during the three weeks since John son and Batts were hnng. | From Porry to HiuvlciiisviHe. The following item from the Hnwkinsville Dispatch and News confirms the report recently pub lished in the Home Jouenal con earning the extension of the Perry Branch railroad: “Information has reached from a perfectly reliable source which will be pleasing to the peo ple of Hawkinsvills. If the plans are carried out, and there- can be no dou]bt about the success of the undertaking when it is known that the Central Bailroad has deter mined to do the work. Hawkins- ville will be greatly benefited and an era of prosperity brighter than any she has ever seen will dawn upon her. The plan is for the Central to extend the road from Perry on to Hawkinsville and then to Savannah. This will be a great thing for Hawkinsville, giv ing her competing lines to the northwest and to the coast, mak ing tributary to her a territory rich in agricultural resources.” The extension of this road to Savannah, via Hawkinsville would be greatly beneficial toihe people of Perry, Fort Valley, and all that section of Houston contiguous to the line of road. Our people will be delighted to clasp hanbs in bus iness with the citizens of Hawk insville and Savannah. We are ready for the work to commence now. Coart of Ordinary. Finding Judge Houser at leis ure in his office last Monday af ternoon, he kindly gave us the rec ord of his official day’s work, in answer to the querry, “what have you doneln the court of Ordinary to-day?”; W.

Lankford, vis- ted Macon Sunday. (Short Parker attended the office and pulled the wires for him.) We thought, and the public thought that railroads were built for the benefit of the public, pro vided the public paid for this ben efit, but it seems this is not the case. Two ladies got on the train at this station Sunday for Avon dale; the conductor told them his train would not stop at said sta tion, as ’twas behind time. Now this is a P. O. station, and as ’tis obliged to stop there in the week, why not on Sunday? If their schedule is thus, why not pay some newspaper to say so, or not put said stops on their time table. These ladies came here in the cold* and from what was told them, they would have to go all the way to Macon and come back on the next train in order to make Avondale the same Sunday. We are making no railroads, iihis one in particu lar, for it is a good road,the best so said in the state, but accommoda tion is what we want, what we pay for, and we think that we ought to get what we are obliged to pay for. Somebody’s fat bench-leg flee got off the train here the other day. He was very fat, fat enough for sausage meat. Train got him Saturday, but don’t.think train has a Sausage factory now, or at least don’t expose the sausages for sale. Colc^weather brings about the buying of more guano.
