The spring te^n of the Byron High school was concluded hist Friday with appropriate public ex ercises. The examination of the pupils began at 8 o’clock a. m., and con finned through to about 5 p. m. with intermission for dinner. Prof. E.H. Ezell conducted the ex amination of each class, in a style peculiar to himself, thorough and convincing. The school room was crowded, and thongb the weather was intensely warm, the interest was great enough to keep the room full throughout the day. Each class was examined for the purpose of disclosing how much the pupils knew, and nothing was stumbled over or slided around. The patrons and other spectators were satisfied, the pupils made a showing that was very creditable, and Prof. Ezell added further proof that he is an excellent, teacher. The exercises were inter- sperced with music. Several Bibb county teachers present de clared the examination the most satisfactory one they ever witness ed. Directly after the conclusion of the morning exercises, dinner Was announced, and' all present were cordially invited to partake freely and heartily. The tables were arranged in the grove just in front of the school house, and about 400 people appeased their appetites with the many good things 'placed before them in tempting array and abundant va riety. That dinner deserves all the praise that can be given it, as it was one of the very best we er saw or tasted. After the close of the afternoon exercises supper was announced at the same place where dinner was served, and the sapper was a coun terpart of the dinner—especially good and abundant. This writer was not present at the night exer cises, being forced by home de mands to leave Byron just as the entainment began. We saw the program however, and we know that the concert was good, and very pleasing to the large number of people who attended. The de clamations, dialogues, charades and songs were choice selections, and we are informed they were very wel 1 rendered indeed. . Eigh t- ty pupils were taught at Byron High school the last term. The patrons are more than satisfied with the manner in which they have been taught, and the pupils love and honor their teachers— Prof. E. H. Ezell and Mrs. Lena Bassett, his daughter. Prof. Ezell will take a week’s holiday for himself, though the regular school vacation will ex tend to the first Monday in Sep tember next. On the first Monday in July, 7th inst, Prof. Ezell will open a summer school, and a large atten dance is assured, mostly boys and girls who could not attend the reg ular term. This school will ex tend to about Sept. 1st, when the regular fall term will be- gin. The commencement at Byron is genuine season of enjoyment each year to the good people at Byron and vacinity, Jand their friends. Last Friday was one of the most enjoyable of these occa- Tbat Factory Capitalization. —The ice famine has been in tensely disagreeable to the people of Perry and vacinity, and the ad visability of establishing an ice factory here has been discuss ed. -Misses Annie Wellons and Hat tie Speight, of Perry, attended the commencement exercises at Byron last Friday, and remained there several days thereafter, the guests of friends. —The many friends of Mr. J. N. Tuttle will be glad to learn that he has about recovered from his re cent attack of jaundice. He says he felt decidedly blue, though he was extremely yellow. • , —-A thermometer registering 98 was taken from Mr. E. J. Fuller’s house in Perry Tuesday afternoon and placed outdoors in the sun shine. In five minutes the mercu ry marked 138 degrees. —It is not improbable that gu ano will be manafaotared near Perry within the next six months. Ross Hill and Mossy Hill contain Valuable fertilizing properties, and it has been positively asserted that they will be manipulated. —At the regular meeting of Stonewall sub-Allianee last Satur : day, the following delegates were selected to attend the County Alli ance meeting at York, next Satur day.: S. J. Hose, J. W. Colyer, J. F. Morris and John Wasuer. —Chairman Palmer, of the PQUn- ty democratic exeentive committee, has informed ns that Maj. Sterling Niel has resigned the position of delegate to the state nominating convention, and that Mr. H. S. Feagin has been appointed ip bis -The following gentlemen were appointed, by a mass meeting held at Perry on April 3rd, 188S, mem bers of the Democratic executive committee of the 23rd Senatorial district, to represent Houston county: Elbert Fagan, M. F. Eth eridge, W. D. Nottingham and M. L. Cooper. This year no action was taken by our mass meeting concerning the district committee. The executive committee afterward appointed Dr. B. L. Ross to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Judge Nottingham from the county, but the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Fagar has not been filled. —The mail facilities demanded by the Home Journal, in an edito rial last week, are now accorded. Since last Monday the train that leaves Perry at 7.50 every morn ing has carried mail for all points. For two weeks previons to that date the morning train did not car ry mail for points above Fort Tal ley. —The first carload of watermel ons shipped from Perry this sea son was sent of last Thursday by Mr. S. L Norwood. Next day he shipped two carloads, and Mr. Charlie Marchman shipped one. Since then several other carloads have beep sent forward, .—The annual re-knion of the Houston county ex-Confederate Veterans will be held at Perry to morrow—Friday, July 4th. Those who attend will bring their lunch baskets well filled, and. a regular picnic dinner will be enjoyed. —The hot weather of the last ten days has damaged the gardens of Perry almost beyond redemp tion. Two months ago it was suggest ed that a manufacturing stock company be organized to operate the mills now in operation at Den- nard—the Houston Factory prop erty—to establish there a guano factory, a bagging factory, and to build a railroad between Perry and Kathleen, via Dennard. The pro prietors of the Houston Factory signified their willingness to enter the scheme heartily, and endorse ments came from all to whom- the subject was mentioned,—many Macon capitalists included. We were told that -the scheme was being perfected, and that soon the books wonld be opened, sub scriptions to the stock asked for, and application made for a char ter. Within the last month or six weeks we have heard nothing of the project, but hope it will be re vived and accomplished. Such an enternrise wonld prove profitable to every stock holder, would be vastly beneficial to the county, and especially so to the farmers of the county. The projectors of the new indus tries proposed to place the stock in reach of every farmer, making the terms of payment exceptional ly easy. The manufacture of gua no and cotton bagging would serve the farmers almost at their own doors, and cotton could be sold at home at the highest market price. The proposed railroad would enter as a big factor in the scheme, and being operated by home peo ple in the interest of home people, would pay handsome profits when combined with the productive en terprises to be enlarged and to be established. We hope to hear oomething defi nite concerning this scheme within the near future. Hayneville Happenin'; RETORTED BY JOSHUA LAWRENCE. Echoes from Eva.

Last Thursday afternoon a ripple of excitement pervaded the town of Perry when it became known that a very popular gentleman had been publicly caned at the court house. It seems that the provocation was ample, and that the determi nation to secure revenge was strong and abiding. While in Angansta two weeks ago, Sheriff M. L. Cooper acted as commissary sergeant for the Perry Rifles, and the service was so en tirely satisfactory, the bill of fare presented each day so completely in accord with the appetites of the boys, that they determined to “see^ him later.” The affair culminated in the sheriff’s room of the court house last Thursday afternoon. In be half of the Perry Rifles, Lieut. R. N. Holtzclaw presented Commis sary Sergeant M. L. Cooper an exceedingly handsome gold-head ed walking cane, at the same time expressing the hearty feeling of esteem and honor the boys of the Rifles entertained for him, and their high appreciation of the ser vices he so graciously performed while in camp. Sergeant Cooper replied mod estly, though eloquently, and re ceived the souvenir with that gen uine grace that marks his every action, private or official. Houston Sunday Schools. The annnal convention of the Houston County Suday School As sociation will be held at Perry, in the Methodist church, on Thurs day, the 24th of July. The exer cises will begin promptly at 10 o’clock.a. m., and will continue through the day. Each school is entitled to two delegates. The Sunday school su perintendents and secretaries are ex officio members of the conven tion. A full attendance is desired of all the white children in the county, and their parents and friends. Bring your baskets, as it is a rule of the association that we fur nish onr own dinners. We hope to do mnch good by this convention, and hope to have a fall attendance. Respectfully, A. C. Riley, Pres. H. C. S. S. Association. July 1st 1.890. —The following gentlemen left Peixy on the train last Tuesday afternoon for Chattanooga, to at tend the grand re-union that be gins there to-day, and continues through this week: W. H. Nor wood, J. G. Davis, R. G. Watson, J. N. Barker, J. D. Gray, J. RT Miller, J. E. Andrews, A. A. Smoak, W. E. Boler, J. BL Sauls, J. B. Hunt and W. T. Hughes. This party was jqined at ?ojt Val ley by J.-M. Gray and others, and at Macon the party was increased by ex-Confedsrates from other sec tions of the county. —Within the last six months over three thousand dollars have been harrowed from the Interstate Building & Loan Association, Colnmbus, by citizens of Perry and invested in property here. —Fresh Turnip Seeds at Holtzclaw & Gilbert’s, makes everything so dry ; it is be cause the sun has shone with such force for the past few days. The gardens are all almost given out, on account of the hot sun. Most of tne farmers have discontinued plowing until it rains. Mr. Thomas A. Coleman, a stu dent of Emory College, Oxford, Ga-, is here visiting his sister, Mrs. J. T. Ellis. Quite an unsually large congre gation attended services at the Methodist church here last Sun day We noticed among them Messrs. Will and Bob Killen, of near Perry. Some of our Hayneville people will participate in a picnic at the Park next Saturday. We trust that we will have some rain before that time—so'as to cool the atmos phere. Quite a crowd of young men (most of them bachelors) dined last Tuesday with Mr. S. F. Bivins, (the White Bachelor). We know these yong men were royally tertained, as Steve’s big heart always open to his friends. As soon as this writer can have a little spare time, he will take a stroll over some of the good corn croDS of .this community, and will try to report them to the Journal. There is some very fine corn and around here. We are sorry "to chronicle that the fall Mrs. Daniels received from her buggy a few clays since, caused by the mule’s running away, has proven somewhat hurt ful. She has been confined to her bed since the accident, and is now receiving medical attention from Dr.JIenny.' It has been said heretofore, and several times too, that we had a good behaved set of young people, referring to their conduct in and around the house of worship, but this rule was broken last Sunday night, for it seemed that they had respect for neither the house nor the preacher. The lights being dim in the back part of the church, and the preacher being hard of hearing, there were two beardless boys that saw a chance to talk out loud all during the service, and so disturbed the congregation as to prevent enjoyment of the ser- Vices. If these young men, or boys, as it would be more proper to call them, can’t conduct them selves in a more decent manner when they enter the house of wor ship, they had better remain at home. July 1st 1890. The Hayneville Sunday School. Up to the present the Metho dist Sunday school here has not met with much success. The cause we will attempt to explain, though subject to correction. It has al ways been said that a Sunday school is no littie trouble to b.e carried on in the country, that is, if suc cess depends on the number. But we insist that merit doesn’t con sist in quantity, but quality, and if there were a few zealous workers in this school that would not let anything deter them from duty, it would not be long before we would have a good Sunday school. But how can we ever hope to be suc cessful when the parents take so little interest in the work? I im agine it would be very mortifying to parents in old age to look back with regret as to the proper train ing of their children. But we are glad to note that more interest, we thine, \vill be taken in the school from this time on. Doubtless the time of conducting the exercises will be changed on next Sunday, from afternoon to forenoon, and we trust the change will be for the better. Joshua Lawrence. MACHINERY AND CASTINGS OF claim : %s ours, one of the most flourishing districts in our grand old county. No doubt the weather has been as hot in Perry recently, as in oth er parts of. the county, and I for bear any mention of the heated term. However, we had a slight rain this evening, and the temper ature cooled rapidly for a short time. Weather prophets say the indications are that we will have rain enough soon. Crops, so far, are most promis ing, and barring a little grass here and there, are in better condition than I have ever known at this season of the year. Rev. J. M. Foster, pastor of this, the Byron Circuit, begun a series of religious services at Lake View church last Saturday, but ow ing to ' a sudden and severe in disposition to-day, was forced to suspend. However, in this brief time, much good was done in re viving the church and giving to the worldly-minded subjects to re flect upon. The pastor promises that the services shall be renewed as soon as opportunity presents. Rev. Mr. Bateman, of Perry, sisted in the meeting Sunday, and again this evening. He was ac companied on both visits by that most clever and useful brother, J. A. Smith, of Perry. Mr. Bateman will preach for ns again uext Sun day at 11 o’clock, and again in the evenmg. A mad dog was killed here to day. He had bitten the fine point er of Mr. March Howard, and both dogs were killed. Mr. David T. Simmons, of Bir mingham, Ala., is on a short visit to his parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Simmons. Our people are beginning to grieve already over the prospect of losing one of our best citizens, Mr. M.
