White farmers will have to quit planting so muetfeottou.” Thus spoke a farmer who step- pad into this office to pay bis sub- .tils' remarks furnish much fooa for thought, when coupled with the fact that the negroes are becoming tenants as rapidly as they can rent land and secure money or credit sufficient to bny a mole and sup plies. ~ < The tax returns for : 1890 show that negroes have materially add ed to their landed possessions, and on every hand we see and hear of others who are anxious to buy, whenever terms can be arranged with the land owners. The situa tion is such that tf ere is always land to be sold whenever the pur chaser appears with money enough to make the trade secure. This ambition on the part of the negroes is laudable, and eyery one who be comes a land owner becomes a bet ter citizen thereby. . The resulting scarcity of farm laborers is a trouble, and we be lieve it will so continue. Yet the negroes are only imitating their white friends in becoming tenants, and then land-owners, as opportu nity offers. This condition forces upon the white tanners a problem that must be solved. There must be practi cally a revolution iq agricultural affairs in Houston and other Geor gia counties. The suggestion to quit plantin' so much cotton, and allow the ne gro farmers to grow the cotton, is worthy of thoughtful considera tion. Certainly the intensive system of farming must be adopted as an ab solute necessity. Smaller areas must be made to produce as much ns now is harvested from a much larger number of acres. Labor- saving utensils mast be made to fill the place of the laborers that can’t be hired. It must be so ar ranged, and it can be, that one man enn cultivate and gather as much as is now done by tivo. Stock needed on the farm must be raised on the farm, and some for sale. Products of other states now sold in all Houston towns, and in towns of all other Georgia coun ties, could be raised and sold by Houston farmers, and must be, else the labor problem will be much more serious than now. In considering this problem in all its bearings, our farmers should act iu concert, and co-operate thoroughly for their benefit and protection. Married tn Houston. On Sunday morning, September 7th, Mr. I. B. Etheridge and Mrs. Georgia Pierce were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Justice J. S. Thompson officiating. Both bride and-groom are--resi dents of the Upper 5th district of Houston county, and are well known to many of the readers of the Home Journal. Our cordial congratulations and best wishes for their future welfare are extended to the happy pair. They will soon move to For t Val ley, where Mr. Etheridge will en ter business as a contractor and bnilder. —Tax Collector Green and Dep uty Killen have completed their first lound of visits to the several precincts of the-county, for the purpose of collecting state and county taxes for 1890. The total amount collected is less than two hundred dollars, though this is 25 per cent in excess of the amount collected during the first round last j'ear. At two precincts noth ing was collected, making clear the fact that a majority of our people defer paying taxes as long as prac ticable. The first appointment was at LaVilla on Monday, the Sth, and the last at Houston Factory, on Tuesday, 16th inst. The books are now open at the store of Mr.’ T.' M.- Killen, in Perry, and the first week of Houston Superior Court wfil be the regular appointment at Perry.

The delegates elected to represent Stonewall Sub-Alliance are instructed to offer such a resolution. We heartily endorse the propo sition. It may appear-to some as thoagh time were being taken by the forelock, and so it is and should be. Preparations for a good work cannot be premature. Of course active work cannot be done now, but the plaus can be discussed, a board of management arranged, and.the farmere started to thinking onthe sabject. : . With the idea in view that a fair will be held next year, and that every member of the allratice, and all others in the coun ty who are interested, will be ex pected to contribute to its Success, an excellent exposition ofHouston products will be assured from the beginning. Every farmer who ex perts to be an exhibitor will pre pare his lands with greater care, more attention will be given to fer tilizing, cultivating and gathering. The result will be better yields in quantity and quality, and in in creased profits the reward will be received, regardless of the pre miums that may be won. At this time it is unnecessary to say anything about the location of the fair, beyond the fact that it should be in Houston. That ques tion should be left to be decided by circumstances after all other de tails of management, premiums, etc., have been settled. In fact, location is a secondary considera tion. Increased yields have resulted wherever county fairs have been held, and for this reason we advo cate the Houston county fair. REPORTED BY X. Gone West. The Fort Valley Enterprise of last week contained the following, which is Weighted with interest to Houston and all this section of Georgia. Doubtless the gentle men spoken of are now extolling the beauties of Georgia: “Major W. L. Glessner, immi gration agent for the Central Rail road of Georgia, and editor of the Americas Daily Recorder, will ar- rivfc inthe city Monday morning and will, in company with Capt. James look over the lands in this section which the latter has op tions on. In the afternoon Capt. James and Mr. Louis Shumway will leave in company with Major Glessner for Ohio and Michigan, to talk up immigration to this part of the state. Mr. Shumway will vis it his old home in Sontli Haven, Michigan, and it is probable that Capt. James and Major Glessner will accompany him there. □The railroads are now offering what is called harvest excursion rates from Chicago and other western points to Fort Valley and a few other sections in Geor gia. The rate is one fare for the round trip, and the gentlemen from this section will try and in duce many others to come and take a look at our advantages. This will.no doubt bring our section into more prominence, and will do much to induce new comers info our midst, for if they ones see the gai-den spot of the United States, as this is, they will locate here.” —When the train came into Hew Hope last Sunday evening, ft was discovered that the trestle across the gnlly there was defectives. Monday morning the passengers got out and walked over, and-as the train passed, some of the supports gave way. Coming back at-noon-, the train was stopped there, and the passengers came into town in buggies and carriages. The tres tle was repaired and the train pass ed over about an hour later. Con ductor Driggers never fails to de tect a serious defect in the road. Though work had been done, and. the Tuesday noon train came acro’ss the trestle all right and entered Perry on schedule time, the after- uoon train was delayed nearly two hours. In making the temporary repairs, more work was found to do than was at first anticipated, and the; delay of-the train was one of the consequences. Passengers were disappointed,, and the mail for Macon missed connection. —Though not abiding with ns, Judge A. S. Giles still desires to serve the people of Perry and Houston county. Our people know he is'a good lawyer, and many of them will be glad .to know that he proposes to give special attention cQi-ed,.and the grade is sure not to !4-Fifty cents per 1 bale is the charge for weighing and selling cotton at the . warehouse of Willis F. Price, Fourth street, Macon, Ga. His weights, per Jake Heard, are exactly correct, the highest market price is- always se- be too low. Price will follow instruc tions to the letter, and secures in surance when so ordered at the very lowest rate. He sells cotton exclusively, looking closely to the interests of his customers, there fore he and Heard say, if you want to secure the best price, carry your cotton to Willis F. Price. —Messrs. Hurdle, Lane and Brown, of near Henderson, were in Perry, and called to see the The fields are white with cotton in this section, and it is bein greatly damaged by the continued rains of the past two weeks.

Miss Mollie Jackson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Jackson, and one of the most charming young ladies of our town, was mar ried on Monday, the 8th inst., at 10 o’clock a. m., to Mr. T. S. Viss- cher, Rev. J. M. Foster officiating. The marriage was quite a surprise to the people of Byron, and they regretted very much to give Miss Mollie up, for she was a young lady of excellent qualities and well thought of by all who knew her. They left on the 11 o’clock train for Maplesville, Ala., their future home. She carried with her. the best wishes for her future hap piness, of her many friends among the young people of oar town.

She was a most estimable lady, held in high esteem by a largo cir cle of friends. Besides the bereaved father, she leaves an infant daughter, a num ber of relatives and many friends to mourn her death. Though sympathy is abundant to the bereaved ones, consolation can only come from the Heavenly Father, who has called to .her Eter nal Home the loved wife and mother. To Alliance Delegates. Resolved, by the Spoonville Fermers Aalliance, “That all del egates who contemplate coming down on the night of the 2nd pros., notify onr vice president, B. W.
