Come SOLOMON& RILEY, •±13 Third St-, MACON, GA. —This is the best time of the ■ to subscribe for the Home Ai about one o’clock last Tues day afteruum another accident on the Perry Branch railroad decanted —the fourth ron-rffon this road within six weeks. The train wes coming this way, and as it rounded the curve just beyond New Hope, trestle, about half a mile .from town, the passen ger coach aud a freight car left the track. The train ..was moving at a low rate of speed, and no one was hart, though the" wheels bumped along on the ties for about a hun dred yards before the train was stopped. - - - The only damage done was sev eral rails torn np, several ties dis placed and splintered, and a tim ber of one of the freight car tracks split in two. The engine did not leave the track, and on it the mail, express and passengers were brought to town. With the assistance of the sec tion hands, Conductor Driggers went to work, at once to get the train on the track again. The freight car was unloaded—guano from the People’s Guano Factory at Fort Valley. At about four o’clock the cars were again on the track, bnt as the train was moved forward another slight mu-off occurred. The train was finally brought to town at 5:20 o’clock, and at 7 o’clock it palled out for Fort Val ley. There was no apparent canse for the run-off, except that the rails on the track are entirely too thin. " - It is a positive outrage, a viola tion of law, that this road is not put in decent condition—track and rolling stock. We were informed before Christ mas last that all the thin iron wonld be replaced with good rails, and this work has been partly done, bat the road is still iu mis erable condition. It is a shameful discredit to the Centrol railroad Kathleen Items. REPORTED BY K- A Dance Wednesday Night. The dance at the court house in Perry last Wednesday night was a delightful occasion to all who par ticipated. It was also enjoyed by the large number of spectators in attendance. The affair was managed by Dr. L. A. Felder, Prof. W. B. Dew and Mr. W. G. Day. The music was famished by Prof. Kessler’s, band, of Macon. Every appointment was in excel lent taste, and there was no hin drance at any time to complete en joyment Besides the yonng ladies and gentleman of Perry, the following visitors were present, and partici pated in the dance. Miss Katherine Vail, of Brook lyn, N. Y. Miss Florrie Cooner, Messrs. W. M. Kersh, J. G. Cooner, and H. Whitaker, of Fort Valley. Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Davis, Miss Clara Edge, Messrs. Zach Rouse, Walter Houser, and G. N. Porter, of Macon. Felder Houser, of Myrtle. Eugene Hatcher, Jim. Cochran and A. M. Anderson, of Atlanta. C. J. Goodwin aud John Walker, of Marshallville. . They didn’t go home till morn ing, in very trntb. The dancing was kept np until nearly 3 o’clock a. m., and at 4 o’clock all the visitors except Misses Edge and Vail left on the train. Dennard Dots. DY THE JUDGE. Marriage at Perry. —Mr. Lon Bryant, who has been assisting Agent Fuller at the Per ry depot, went down to Dawson last Friday to become night tele; graph operator at that place. We wish for Lon complete success and unbounded prosperity. —It is an emphatic fact that Perry needs another railroad- It is also a fact that the road can be securedif our people go abont it in the right way. “Money talks,”and our business men can furnish suf ficient money to accomplish this purpose. We wonld prefer a long line, bnt a 'branch to the G. S. & F. would be better than none. The grading of the extension of the Empire- & Dublin road from Hawk- insville to Grovania is abont com pleted, and a conference with the builders of this line might prove beneficial to onr interests. At eight o’clock Tuesday night, at the residence of Mrs. G. R. Da vis, Mr. I. E. Andrews, an ener getic, progressive young farmer of near Perry, son of Mr. Joseph E. Andrews, was married to -Miss Alice Lagoire. Rev. J. C. Brew- ton, officiated. After the ceremony, a delightful supper was partaken of. Only relatives attended the marriage. In extending congratulations, we wish for the happy young couple long life replete with happiness and prosperity. Having-read many c aiiaamca- tious of an interesting nature from different sections of tbe county, iu the columns of your valuable pa per, gives me the desire to have this section of the county repre sented. I do not feel competent to assnme the task, but as no one else seems likely to devote their attention in that direction, I wilt pen a few lines for yonr considera tion. If you think them worthy of space "in your columns you are at liberty to publish them. If you do not, think thorn . worthy of publication, consign them to the waste basket It will be all right if this communication does not ap pear in print It would be useless for me to locate Kathleen, for I presume al most every reader of the Journal knows where Kathleen is situated, but will proceed to give such iufor- mation as will be of most interest There is one store at Kathleen, owned and ran by the hospitable and clever firm of Wardlaw & Da vis, and I do not hesitate in say- ing that they have a fall stock of groceries, hardware, dry goods, boots, shoes, and almost" every thing for tbe necessaries of life. Inaddition to this, Messrs. Ward- law & Davis have a fine steam gin nery, and ginned a great many bales of cotton the last ginning season. They .will be better pre pared for the next crop. There is a first-class freight house at this place with a first- class telegraph office attached, with clever and generous hearted J. D. Fraser agent and operator. In addition to this, Kathleen is on a building boom. Mr. J. W. Tayior has purchased several lots, and is now bnidiug a handsome dwelling house. Mr. R. G. Wat son is the contractor. Mr. Taylor has the lumber on the ground for the erection of two stores.. The people of this community are recovering from severe attacks of the “grippe.” No new cases of measles report ed. Nearly of those who had this disease are getting well. The farmers are very backward with their work on account of con tinued rains and disgreeable. weath er. The clever and hospitable Dr. R C. Bryan is as spry and looks as yonng as he did 10 or 15 years ago. I do not suppose that he feels as well as he appears, for he is between three score and teD, and according to nature a man very sensibly feels his declining years. I sincerely hope that the good doctor maj be spared for a long time to come. There are no better physicians, no better neigh bor, and no more such land marks in our community; and to be de prived of such a good man would be a heavy loss to onr community. Therefore, we wish for him to re main with ns a long while. He is a man of great service lo his Fellow man. Feb. 16th 1891. Cabbage iu the pot is better than cabbage in a jingle.

Who in onr communi ty will try it? Anything will pay as well as all cotton, even a good crop of boshel gourds. We. were glad, to see the hotel man here yesterday fiiring himself. The last time he was here he was taken sick quite suddenly, and we did hear that it run into a violent case of scaterine. I do believe the building mittee have gone to work to fix up Audrew Chapel. I am glad of it, for I have been loaded about three months, and if I had have had to fire off that old rusty load some body would have been hurt. I have unintentionally overlook ed the school at Dennard, which has a very good attendance, and is ably superintended by Miss Kate Edge, who so ably filled the place last year. Though we have what is called a public school, to which all are at liberty to attend, there is some thing lacking still. I mnst say, and I say it with due respect and w'th kindest feelings for those to whom it is applied, that the dark est paye in Dennard’s history is the illiteracy of its people.

Feb. 17; 189L —A negro was shot last Tuesday afternoon, near where the train ran off the track, abont half ajmile from Perry. Will Jones and Charley Frederick, both negroes, got into a dispute, when Frederick became angered and went to his house close, by. Returning; he pointed bis pistol at Jones, threat ening to shoot. Jones’ reply an gered Frederick still more, and he fired foar times in succession, and then ran off into the swamp. Only one of the balls touched Jones, and that made only a sliget flesh wound just above the left ankle.- The wonld-be murderer has not been captured. On last Tuesday, the 10th inst., a'south-bound freight train on the S. W. railroad, while shifting from tbe switch, the end of which is near Mule creek, to the main track, one of the cars became de railed, and just as it entered the trestle over the creek it left the track and went into the creek, pulling two other cars in after it. The first car that went in was load ed with merchandise, consigned !o parties down the road. The other two, which went in one on the top of the other, were loaded with corn in bulk. This dumped more shell ed corn into Mule creek than was ever in it before. No hurt. The weather continues unfavora ble to farm work, consequently farm work is much retarded, and the farmers are beginning to show symptoms of the “blues.’ The genial visage, and some what lofty (tall at least) bearing of Mr. J. M. Lamar, (batter known as Senator Lamar,) are now • only seen abont PowersviUe from Fri day evening uutil Monday morn ing, as he is engaged in the de- ligntfnl task of rearing tbe tender thought, and teaching the young idea how to shoot. The school he is conducting is at Cleveland Acad, emy, about four miles east of Pow- ersville. Let- the inquiry about the “Holtz claw public school bill” go on. Perhaps some of the inquiries will “strike oil” after a "while, and something will develop. This inquiry reminds me, not so much of the old fanner and his blind horse, as a military company I once knew. This company drill ed and drilled, and won prizes and medals and a newspaper reputation as broad as half it continent. Fi nally war came on, and. an Israel ite, who belonged to the company was anxious to go to the war,' but he could not prevail npon tbe com pany to go.

William Kelley. Feb. 16.1891; “Blessed are the dead which die in the L >rd.” Truly a mother iu Israel has gone to rest. My dear old friend has left us. I knew her long, and loved her well. For twenty years she gave me counsel, and words of hope. I knew her as well as almost any one. My father’s home was hers for years, therefore, I had ev ery chance So learn and appreciate the many noble traits in her char acter. She was a true woman; trne to her friends, her cbnrch, her loved ones, and just to her enemies For over sixty years she walked with firm, unwavering faith in the foot-prints of Jesos. Time and again God’s chasten ing rod was laid npon her; without a murmur she bore - the strokes. Setting her face Zionward, she “pressed toward the mark for the piize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” She had the happiest, most cheerful disposition I ever knew. When dark clouds of sorrow, dis appointment, and affliction swept over her, she always saw the silver lining. She has so often said to me “God knows best, He can do no wrong.” God blessed her with much; and she gave her all to Him. Two no ble sons she gave to Christ aud the church. Seven daughters she laid upon God’s alter, believing she and her all belonged to Cnrist. Bnt she has left us. The pearly gates swung wide, and on angels wings her sonl went from earth to heaven triumphant By faith we. know she met loved ones gone before, husband and children watchiDgat the Golden River to catch a gleam - £ the snewy sail, welcomed her with the*glad song “Wife, mother, Home at last” Angels knew she was coining Rook ing out of the windows of Heaven they saw her daily life, so consist ent, so faithful, so true. A Chris tian coming Home, it was whisper ed up aud down the Golden streets, and was shouted from the battle ments of Heaven, it was ' chanted around the Throne. Ah! all Heav en rang with the glad tidings, Home at last*” To-day, after 77 years of trials, temptations and triumphs, she has a Home not made with hands. Oh loved ones, can yon mourn her death, when yon think of these things? You will miss her, yon had-her so long. To you life will never be quite what it was before, she was tbe link that bound you together. The happy reunion is a joy of the past Her loved ones will go their different ways, doing the work God has given them, bnt to each heart will come the thought of mother, making them purer and more fitted to meet her by and by. I have written these few words in memory of the sainted Christian, because I knew aud loved her.- • I think she was one of the most re markable women I ever saw. Though she has passed tbroagh glory’s gate and walks in Paradise, we will not forget her. In the cemetery at Henderson her body lies in pe ice beside the husband and children she loved, bnt in the homes of her children and friends, Jier unseen presence will ever be felt. In the morning, at noon, and at twilight’s hoar when the shad ows fall, they will think of her waiting on the nnseeu shore, “Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet.” At last when Time has done its work, we snail stand by the Jasper sea, ana catch a gleam of the Snowy sails, and bear the dip of the Phamtom oar, then, Oh then, if we have faithfnl been, joyfully sweet will the meeting be.
