The ladies went into the church, and the men and boys re mained outside. The candidates appearing in considerable numbers, it was decided that a committee be appointed to entertain these gen tlemen, but it beiug discovered that they had a programme of their own, this arrangement was annulled. At about ten o’clock the Sunday school celebration exercises began. Prof. T. M. Means was master of ceremonies, and the following pro gramme was delightfully rendered. PKOGBAMME. L Hymn—Praise and magnify His name. 2. Prayer by Rev. T. L Nense. 3. Hymn—Beautiful Day. 4. Declamation—Richard Clew- is. 5. Hymn—My Spirit is free. 6. Recitation—by Intermediate class. 7. Hymn—Net half has ever been Told. 8. Declamation—Holland Laid- ler. 9. Solo—Faraway where Angels dwell. By Mrs. Means. 10. Recitation—Curfew must not Ring to-night. Miss Jennie Means. 11. Address—Children then and now. R. L. Means. 12. Hymn—We are going to the Fountain. Dinner free to all. The church was full, every avail able seat occupied. There was not a hitch or ruffle in the rendition of the programm ?. The children proved conclusively their aptness, intelligence and cul ture. The singing was exceptionally good, demonstrating surely the high order of refinement and intel ligence of the people of the com munity. The sixth recitation deserves es pecial notice. It was illustrative. Five little girls marened within the pulnit altar, and with appro priate words formed upon a square canvas the celebratiou motto: God is Love. This canvass was beauti fully decorated with flowers and evergreens, as was the pulpit and rear wall of the church. The address by Mr. Means was well conceived, and appropriately rendered. The dinner, was all that could have been desired by any veteran epicure, though not more than was expected by those who know the people of Hickory Grove, Hender son, and the country round about. It was fully a characteristic Hous ton county picnic dinner; better than this no picnic spread can be. The Henderson Methodist Sun day school was invited to join in the picnic with Hickory Grove school, and many of them were there as hosts, and others as guests. The occasion was replete with pleasure to all. The children en joyed the afternoon unrestrained ly. Many went again into the chnrcb, and as sweet insense to our ears the strains of music float ed out. May many anniversaries of the happy occasion come tb these good people. CUnrcli Festival at Dennard. There will be a church festival at Andrew chupel, Houston Fac tory, next Saturday evening and night, (24th inst.) The festival will open at4 o’clock p. m. and con tinue into the night as long as those attending desire. At moderate prices strawberry tea, ice cream, sherbet and cake will be served. The proceeds will go to repair Andrew Chapel. Everybody cordially invited A special invitation to candidates A rare treat is in store far those who attend. The cause is exceptional ly worthy. CISC3- Two most excellent programmes have been arranged, for day and night. The day exercises embrace an examination of the pupils, intersperced with music, and will clearly show their proficiency, and the advancement they have made. There will also be declamations and a spelling bee. The night exercises consist of speeches, music,. recitations, dia logues, tableaux, short dramas, etc. The day exercises will begin at S o’clock a. m., and continue untill about 4 p. m., with an in termission of one hour for din ner. Hon. H. A. Mathews, of Fort Talley, will deliver the literary ad dress; just before the recess for dinner. The night exercises will begin at 7 o’oclck and will continue un til the programme has been giv en. The two programmes will af ford instrnction, pleasure and amusement to all who attend. Prof. E. E. Miller, principal of the school, has proven himself to be a most excellent instructor, giv- satisfaction to the patrons of the school. All who will are cordially invit ed tc attend. A representative of the Home Jouenal will be present, provi dence permitting. Cou tin tied Religious Services, The religious services st the Methodist church here are still in progress. Three services a day are being-held ibis week-- morn ing, afternoon and night The chnrcb members are being folly aroused to the necessity of active, earnest personal work, and mnch is being done on this line, and in terest in the meeting is percepti bly growing. The night services are better attended than the oth- Exccutive Committee Meeting ers. Revs. Henry C. Brewton, of Butler, and James M. Foster, of the Byron Circuit, are here la boring with the pastor. They are able and earnest preachers, and we trust have done, and will yet do, much good. The services will continue through this week, and probably all of next. Xu Memoriani. — We were shown the other day a piece of round steel that was welded by Mr. J. M. Culpep per, Jr., a Houston county student at Vanderbilt University, where he is taking a technological course in addition to the regular college studies. The weld of this steel is so perfectly done that none but the eyes of an experienced artisan can detect the point where the two pieces uere joined. We know that Mr. Culpepper is well up in his literary studies, and we are glad to see an evidence of his proficiency in practical educa tion. We cordially endorse tech nological education, and hope that it will be greatly devoloped in Georgia. The specimen of Mr. Culpepper’s work with iron can be seen in Judge Riley’s office, to whom it was sent by request. —Twenty-six announcements for office appear in the Home Journal. Of these there are two for Senater, four for Representa tive, seven for commissioner, three for tax receiver, four for tax col lector, two for clerk superior court, two for treasurer, one for coro ner, and none for surveyor. The new announcements this week are: one for senator, one for collector, and four for commissioner. Prob ably there will be no more addi tions th the list. —Arrangements have about been completed for the merchants of Perry to close their stores at six o’clock every afternoon, Saturdays excepted, from June 1st to August 15th. This movement is for the benefit of the clerks, who need and deserve the opportunity for recrea tion that will be thus afforded. The ladies and out-of-town cus tomers, are requested to bear this fact in mind, and so arrange their shopping as not to be inconven ienced. We dare say the ladies will not objoct. -Gen. Anderson was in Perry Monday, having that day received* tax returns at Hqnt’s, and at Den nard. He is now on his third round. He thinks, with the : present lights before him, that the returns will foot up a slight de crease on the total value of the property of whites, and a consid erable increase in property of ne groes. Bo far the decrease is in the valuation of lands. He has resorted to several arbitrations, and in every instance the lower value has been reported. Death Near Elko. Arrive a t * the fact it was hot known that there would be a "picnic there until every one had arranged, or prom ised, to attend the Hickory Grove picnic. The sorrowful ndws reached us Tuesday morning that the little eight-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Marshall died Sunday night, at their home near Elko. The burial look place Monday afternoon. . The bright little giiTwas sick a comparatively short while, when the Henvanly Father called her home. The many friends of the be reaved parents sincerely sympa thise with them in their sorrow. The little girl, loved and cher ished dearly here, has gone to a brighter home, eternal in the heavans. Consolation can come only from the Divine source. May' the be reaved parents receive it in full measure. —We have been informed by mail that there will be a gathering of citizens at Byron next Saturday, 24th inst., and that all candidates in the county are cordially invited to attend. It is expected that ev ery one will be present and that there will be pablic speaking, the the people to call for the speakers, and none will be allowed to refuse. —Candidates desiring tickets for the nomination are requested to bring in their orders at once. —A large excursion party, con sisting of the teachers and pupils of Grady Institute, and citizens of town and county, nearly 1,000 peo ple, went from Fort Valley to Co- lumbns’last Friday. The Colum bus people treated the visitors most cordially, and the occasion was exceptionally enjoyable. —A meeting of northern men now citizens of Houston county- was held in Perry last Saturday. Mr. A S Martin, the popular Fort Valley foundryman, was elected a delegate to attend the meeting of the Northern Society at DougliS3- ville on June 17th. A Houston county organization of northern men will doubtless be perfected. There were thirteen men in the meeting, and there are a number of others in the county. This afternoon there was a crowd gathered aronnd a new made grave at the Marshall burying ground. In which was laid the re mains of little Stella Marshall, aged abont eight years. She pass ed quietly away on yesterday ev ening at the home of her parents; Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Marshall, near Elko. She died very unexpectedly, as her condition was not consider ed at all critical or dangerous, until just a few hours beiore she died. Her vacant seat in the Sunday school will be looked upon with sad hearts by all, and more by her teacher and classmates. She was a bright little girl, mak ing glad the hearts aronnd her. Bnt, alas! she is gone. We will no more have the pleasure of see ing her sweet face and winning smiles among ns. But it was God’s will, and He knows what is best May her bereaved parents, broth ers and Bister feel that “God is tco wise to err, too good to do wrong," and may they gather consolation from the fact that she has gone Home, where she will forever be free from pain. O, who would thought eo soon she would die, * And in the quiet grave would lie! But brightly gleamed the glittering spark, And death so loved the shining mark. R.L.M. May 19th 1890. In response to the call of the chairman of the executive commit tee, tho committee met in conven tion at the court house in Perry at half past 12 o’clock, 17th inst., for | the purpose of investigating the j wide spread dissatisfaction caused by the action of May 6th, callin for a primary election for June 7th. Dr. Joseph Palmer, chairman, called the meeting to order, and explained the purpose for which the meeting-was called. Col. C. Cl Dancan made a mo tion to ratify the the action of May 6th; motion carried. By amendment of Mr. James to resolution of CoL Dancan, it was agreed that the returns relating to the nominatian of Senator be re ported to and passed upon by the Senatorial executive committee. Mr. J. B. James made a motion to make Myrtle a voting precinct, and to change the precinct from Fanlk’s to Kathleen, which was carried by a unanimous vote. No other business before the meeting, the committee adjourned to meet 2nd Monday in Jane. . Joseph Palmer, Chairman. Dem. Ex. Committee, W. M. Stripling, Sect. Protem. Perry, Ga., May 17th 1890.

Hayneville Happenings. REPORTED BY JOSHUA LAWRENCE. Wellston Dots. News scarce this week. Farmers are busy, and so are the candidates. We had a very nice Bhower last evening, and everything now points to a good crop year. Everybody is hopeful, and the farmers will soon be on a solid footing again, if we are blessed with another good sea son. Mr. Geo. B. Feagin has returned home after an absence of abont five months. He has been teach ing a flourishing school in Wilkin son county. Mr. H. S. Feagin spent Friday and Saturday in Macon on busi ness. Miss Carrie Griffin, of Atlanta, and Miss Wimbnsb, of Macon, are visiting Mrs. R. L. Marshall, of York, who is stiil very siek. Mr. J. D. Holloway and bride are stopping at Mrs. C. Bryant’s this week. Mr. Holloway has charge of the engine on the G. S. & F. roadthafis now driving piling atEcheconnee. Mr. Walter Watson is build ing np a large trade at this place, and reports his patronage increas ing every day. Walter is one of the most promising young men of this section. We wish him sne- Wasn’t Will disappointed last Saturday, though! Cheer np, old fellow; she will make that all right. May 20,1890. A Rumor Denied. Having heard it rnmored that I had withdrawn from the race for the office of Tax Collector, I take this method of saying that I am and will be a candidate until nom inated or defeated. My friends are requested to give me their votes. Respectfully, T. N. White. Joshua Lawrance will try the third lime to gel the Journal a communication—better late than never. Since the recent mnch needed rains, the crops generally in this section are looking remarkably flattering. The oat crop, which at one time promised to be almost a failure, owing to the damage it sustained by the cold snap we had in March, is much better than yas expected, and another slight fain would be advantageous to spring oats, and will insnre a right good oat crop. Mr. Jerry Meadows, of Macon, spent Tuesday here among bis friends. Jerry is a jolly, good fel low, and we are always glad to see him. Mrs. Sallie Peddy, of Americus, Ga., spent last week here with her father and mother. She returned home Saturday. Miss Mary Harrison was bitten by a snake of some kind this morn ing (Monday) while helping the children gather some wood,, just back of the house. She can’t re late much of the serious accident. Did not see the snake until it had bitten, her just above the ankle, and she says it was a very large snake. We trnst, however, that the bite will not terminate into anything serious. Mr. John Gordon, of Ashbarn, Ga., who is well known to the peo ple of this community, is here on a visit to his relatives. Mrs. JameB Coleman and Mrs. O. H. Daniels were out driving last Saturday afternoon, and their male took fright from seeing a calf in the hashes. The frightened male made a terrible lunge, result ing capsizing the baggy, throwing the ladies out. The ladies were not hurt—only badly frightened. The baggy was somewhat disfig ured; We have not. heard anything definite abont a picnic at this place yet Onr Sunday school seems to be somewhat Btnpid on the subject of picnicing. The farmers in this section did not have the usual heavy April rains, consequently they are, as a whole, pretty well np with their work, and some of them are wear ing pleasant smiles on their faces, and are delighted with present prospects for a" good crop. Cotton choppers have not been as scarce as the farmers once thought, for some are through chopping and most of them are getting along finely. Don’t think I ever saw cot ton come np to such a perfect stand and look as vigorous as it does at present. Another good crop will no donbt place many farmers above par.
