Woman’s Christian Temperance Union A society of this great and no ble order has been organized at Perty/ Mrs. M. L. Wells, of Chattanoo ga, an organizer of the National Union, and Mrs. C. H. Smith, of Ellaville, Ga., President of the Union of the third congressional district, reached Perry last Tues day noon. Tuesday night Mrs. Wells delivered a lecture in the Methodist church, before an audi ence of about one hundred people. The speaker assumed the posi tion that it is the special duty of women to promote ’ the cause of temperance, asserting positively that the work undertaken will be accomplished. From the Bible and from politi cal history she cited instances where women had been called to perform public work when men hud either failed or refused to go forward. Claiming that the edicts of the social world are practically above statutory laws, that women are the authors of the laws of so ciety, she asserted that women are the reserve force that must and will control the Nation. She asserted emphatically that the'liquor traffic throughout the country will be suppressed by the women, not by violent measures, but by a process of education. The National Womans Christian Tem perance Union is actively and ag gressively engaged in ibis work. Women have never yet failed in any consistent effort made to con trol, or give direction to the actions of men, and in this, their greatest and most holy effort, they will finally succeed. When a majority of the women of the United States are earnest and active in their op position to the sale of liquor, aud its use as beverage, then will pub lic opinion conform to their de sires, and the men will enact such laws as will accomplish the desired purpose. We endorse the position occu pied by Mrs. Wells, and believe she is correct in assuming that women, organized to this end,must and Will accomplish their purpose. Of course'we do not in any de gree excuse' the men. for improper use of liqdor. The lecture was intensely inter esting throughout, though proba bly novel and unique in some par ticulars, The lecturer was well was fortified in every position as sumed, and her assertions were all logical, just, and couched in excel lent, unoffending' language. She said not a word that could cause offense to any one. The lecture wa% decidedly the best talk for tempearnce we ever heard, and with this opinion others agree. A society of the Union was formed Wednesday morning at the Methodist church, and in the af ternoon the organizers left Perry to visit other points in the district and perform similar service. Eclieconnee News. / WEIXTZ^i B Y.PHELYX- The farmers of this section have all about finished planting corn. The present outlook is that there will be a large oat crop harvested this year. ' We attended the general meet ing at old Fellowship church last Saturday and Sunday. The con gregation, each day, was exceed ingly large, and a great many peo ple could not getju the boose to hear any preacher. At noon each day the good ladies of that section spread their cloths, and on" them spread a bountiful suppy of the best victuals for the refreshment- of all present. We have been asked to write aud give the readers of the Home Journal the kind of cabbage seed to sow, the time of sowing, trans planting, and the mode of cultiva tion, but it would be too much for us to ask the editor to give us the space it would require. We will say, however, to all who desire this information, call on Mr. A. McD. King. He will take pleas ure in giving the information wanted, and will give them cabbage and pot liquor for dinner. We are sorry to notedhat Mrs. J. A.King, who has been' ill for eight weeks, has grown worse, and is very low it this writing. March 30,189L [Our friend Phelyx need not hesitate to ask the Journal for the space necessary to place his plan of cabbage culture before its read ers. The Home Journal is pub lished for the benefit of its pat rons, and any information for that purpose will be gladly published. The publication of the methods of a successful cabbage grower will surely prove beneficial. Ed?] Haynevillo and Grovania News. GATHERED BY DUKE. IN SWELLDOM. The wife of a Metropolitan mill ionaire has become involved in aa entirely new fix. It is'difficult to determine Wether the predicament is pathetic or funny. The lady owns a diamond, necklace, and also a neck. Nature* so generous to Lillian Russell, is generous too to her, and her neck does not- fit the necklace. It is in the right pro portion with her shoulders and her head, but quite too large for the sparkling trinket It sbeins natur al^ to suggest that tiie necklace should be altered, but to her mind the necklace is just right, and the neek is uot. She fouud recently a professional refitter of necks, whose services she secured; The neck • was reduced, aud certain facial wrinkles were smoothed out. The lady was satisfied, pot to say elated with the work, but kicked vigorously with limbs not reduced, against the bill, which was $700. The kick attracted the notice of the alert newspaper reporters, aud the whole-affair was given to the pub- Hc. ' • 4 On all full dress occasions here after, there will be universal,'eager and impatient cariosity to scruti nize that neck. The lady will know just where the focus is of all inquisitive' eyes. The spot will fairly burn. The brilliant neck lace will_.be utiderlooked, ami the neck, where art so signally tri umphed over nature, will be crit ically scrutinized. If permitted, the more impudent of curious folks, and especially the reporters, will touch the skin with their fin gers to learn if the velvet finish re mains. Perhaps if it were'all to do over again the lady would tie the neck lace with a bit of ribbon, and wear her neck &s it was. She never wjll be able to get away from the im pression that everybody is looking at her neck. Jim. An Interesting War Diary. - The following concerning a dia ry kept by a citizen of Perry dur ing the late war, appeared in the Macon Telegraph last Monday: “Capt. W. H. Norwood, a mer chant of Perry, like many others, is au old Confederate veteran. He is one of the few soldiers that kept a diary of his four years’ service during the war. He served first in Virginia and then in the West ern army. “This diary is a most interesting one, containing a soldier’s impres sions, observations and experi ences. “Capt Norwood^ belonged to Havis’’ battery that opened the flight at Chiokamauga. Now that this old battlefield has been made a national park, Gen. A. P. Stew art, one of the commissioners, has advertised for information respect ing the great battle. Capt. Nor wood copied the notes from his di ary made on the battlefield and The railroad commission of Georgia should be empowered to' Refit them to Gen. SteWart at Wash ington. Gen., Stewart’s reply, thanking him for the transcript from his diary, - was a most grace ful acknowledgment. From the diary it appears that a Mr. Streeter was the first Con federate soldier killed in that bloody fight. “Capt. Norwood records also this little episode: The night after the battle-he found a chicken crouched under some brush on the battle- fiekl. He caught it, prepared it, CDokedit, and they ate it there on the field. “This diary is too interesting to be lost. It should be written out and placed among the archives of -the Georgia Historical Society.” J. S. McTighe & Co., railroad contractors, have been restrained from disposing of, any -of their properly or assets, and a receiver appointed to take charge-of their business. It was on the* applica- tion-of this firm that the Macon Construction Company, and the G. S- & F. railroad wereplac'ed in the hands of a receiver. r There were 900 deaths from }a grippe in Chicago last week “All is lovely,'and the goose hangs high." Spring has opened its fragrance, and everything is singing the tune, of welcome. We have had several days of nice weather, and our farmers made good use of it in planting corn and putting out guano, but- on account of Thursday’s heavy rain, another gloom blasted their intentions, but a few more warm days will revive our energies and the past will be forgotteu. \ Mr. A. E. Wimberly, who has been under medical treatment at Valdosta’, returned to his home a few days ago, and thiuks he was somewhat benefitted. We are sorry to note that Mr. W. H. Harrison is quite sick, Mrs. Fannie Baker, a well known aud highly esteemed lady, died near Hayneville ou last Tuesday. She was ;i consistent member -of the Baptist church, a true Chris tian aud loved by all who knew her. The enuse of her death was consumption. She leaves a daugb tor, son, brother and friends to mourn her heath. Rev. C. I. Neese delivered to us yesterday an .Easter, sermon. His subject was the “Resurrection of Christ,” which he discussed iu a most impressive and explanatory manner. The day was well ob served, and uot one can deserve too much praise for the interest and part they performed. A stock company of home capi tal is being organized at Grovania to erect .a warehouse.
