Every business man in Perry should attend the meeting to be held at the court house to-morrow (Friday) morning. The question to be considered is of material in terest to the town. The meeting is called by Mayor Davis. -lAbont 100 shares to the capi tal stock of the Houston Improve ment Company have been sub scribed, and the temporary organ ization will be perfected in a day or two.

Many let ters are addressed in characters that are as difficult to read as Egyptian byeroglypbics; some have no state or postoffica address, and one posted the other day had no address at all. the committee appointed by the county alliance to prepare a plan for holding a county fair uext'year, met at- the court house last Satur day. The question of holding a Hous ton Couuty Pair next fall was dis missed iu all its bearings, and the opinions of the committee were formulated in snggestious to be submitted to the county, alliance at the' quarterly meeting to be held at Henderson .in the early part of January-next. The report- to be made simply suggests a time, and outlines the management, leaving the location of the fair to be settled later. The action of the committee was, in substance, as follows: 1. That the fair be held two days, the week just before the state fair is to be ’ held at Macon next year. _ 2. That an exhibit be made up from the county, fair to be sent to the state fair to compete for the prize offered for the best county exhibit. 3. A special committee,composed of J. H. Grace, B. T. Smisson, W. E. Boler and C. A. Thurmond, was appointed to secure offers of co-op eration from the towns, (bids for location) and report to county alli ance at Henderson. A That the fair be managed by an executive committee composed of one from each malitia district in the county, and one from each in corporated town. 5. That a general superintend- ant of the fair be selected by a mass meeting of citizens who will co-operate ijy making the fair a success, such meeting to be held at Perry in February next, the’day to be named by the presi dent of the county elliauce. 6. The county alliance is re quested to provide funds sufficient to defray the expenses of securing the exhibits. 7. The co-operation of all citi zens is earnestly requested,and the declaration is emphatically made that the fair is not to be an alliance affair, but a Houston county fair. 8. Each district is earnestly re quested to combine and compete for • the honor of displaying the j best district exhibit. 9. The committee insists that the management should be organ ized ns speedily as possible after the new year comes in, and that the premium list be published as soon ns practicable. He Didn’t Know. William Henry Harrison, the colored gentleman who is the cir cular artist of the Home Journal on press days, prides himself on the ehoice language he uses. He professes to be eloquent,. and he frequently gives expression to words not authorized by the stan dard lexicographers. Recently he astounded the force with a striag of superlatives of extreme length ond incomprehensible significance. He was in turn dumbfounded by the question: “Bill, what would you think, if I were to say to you, •Elevate your golgotka to the sum mit of your pericranium, and-allow me to present to your ocular dem onstration that scientific piece of architectural mechanism that con stitutes the egress portion of this apartment.” After a loud guffa laugh, he re plied: “Well, sir, you gets ahead of the sibilities of my onnerstand- ing. You beats my time.” —Prom recent expressions from oar farmers in different sections of. the county, we are satisfied that there will be greater concentration in cultivating Houston farms next year than ever before. The inten sive system will bo the plan, and increased production and decreased area will be the special means of reducing the cost of farming. This method will surely prove benefi cial, and when the entire needs of the farm are produced on the farm*, together with more money from a smaller area, our farmers will be independent of all others, and - mas ters of the labor question. —The Perry Rifles will present Lieut. R. N. Holtzclaw as a candi date for major of the 2nd regiment of Georgia militia. A bill provi ding for the organization of this regiment is now pending in the leg islature. Lieut. Holtzclaw would make a most excellent major. As a member of the. legislature, he is doing valiant service for the mali tia. He is chairman of the com mittee on milttary affairs, and has introduced a bill asking for an an nual appropriation of §25,000 for the military of tha stat'e. He de serves military promotion. —Prom the Macon Telegraph we learn that Mrs. W. L. Newman, of Byron, died last Saturday in Monroe county, where whe was visiting her parents. The many friends of Mr. Newman and his daughters sincerely sympathise with them in their bereavement The facis herein set forth have been repeatedly month mod. by the Home Journal, but'we reproduce them to show how another sees onr town and unrounding country. - “"he society of Perry is equal to thatof any place in tIn'south. The beauty end accomplishments of its ladies, the patriotism, intelligence and chivalry of its men, are pro verbial, while the virtue of a gen erous hospitality gives to its.peo ple, without distinction of sex or age, au enviable social pre-emi nence. The merchants of the place are all solvent, and rank high in the markets where they trade.. They purchase liberally and pay prompt ly- The country about Perry for a distance of at least fifteen miies in three directions, is supplied with abundance of pure freestone water. There are within this area many creeks and branches, while wells at a depth of about thirty feet may be seen at every home stead. Within a few miles of Perry there are a number of mineral springs, showing iron and sulphur. One ot these is said to possess the same properties of the water of In dian spring. This spring, many years since, was a popular health resort for the’peopie. of Houston' and adjoining counties, and has a reputation for healing the sick that few waters have enjoyed. The people of Perry are seriously con sidering the project of conducting this health-giving water to their city by means of terra cotta pipes. If they would do this, Perry would prove a formidable rival of the most popular watering places of the south. “For many'years Perry has bad visits from northern people who needed the soft balmy and warm air of the south to restore health or prolong life. I verily believe that the climate of this place would prove more beneficial to such as suffer from weak lungs, than the lower tier of counties whose atmos phere has so much humidity. Those who have made Perry their winter home have been • benefitted, almost without exception. Visitors would have the advantage of the best ho- tt 1 in Georgia until its rooms were filled, and such as might be left out, could obtain splendid board and lodging in the homes of as no ble a people as ever lived beneath the skies.” Another extract from the letter, concerning the lands around Per ry, will be published next week. home on- Ross Hill, about miles south of Perry.

The three required rounds of appointments have been completed, and the law does not demand any other appointments. However, Mr. Kiilen will go to Port Valley next Wednesday,, and will probably visit other points be- fore the books are closed on the 20th of December. Executions will be promptly issued against all who fail to pay before that date. Taxes will be received at Perry up to De cember 20th, except on days when a special appointment is made. —The Houston County Pair should be held at Perry, and the business men of the town should demonstrate their willingness to co-operate heartily in making the fair a success. The editor of the Home Journal claims some credit for the development of the. senti ment in favor of holding the fair, and he is anxious that the location should be selected to benefit the fair, and not the fair held to bene fit the location. Our purpose is to serve the entire county to this mat ter, and not one particular point. —o-c^— - * 1 —See elsewhere in the Home Journal the advertisement of Messrs. Balkcom & Dinkier, Ma con, Ga.

Kemp, died at her home near Powersville on the 15th inst., in the 31st year o fiber age. The burial took place on Sunday evening following at 2 o'clock, at which time Rev. Mr. Norton, of Fort Valley, conducted the ser vices, surrounded by a large num ber of friends and neighbors who came to sympathise with; those who were near and dear to her by the ties of kinship. The services were commenced with the song “Asleep in Jesns, blessed Sleep,” which was followed by a very con soling talk on the resurrection. Af ter discoursing on the gentleness and quietness of her character, the speaker disclosed to many present the fact that something over one year ago she experienced the pow er and witness of the Spirit in her heart, that she had been born again. After prayer the body was laid away iu the family burying ground.
