work in this office.
—Editor Sam Felder, of the Ro

Saturday afternoon to Monday af
ternoon, visiting relatives and
friends. Sam publishes an excel

success of this young frieuu of
ours. He is a native of Perry, and
served the Home Journal splen

—The Ea.-ter service at the Per
ry Methodist church last Sunday
afternoon was decidedly impresiye
and entertaining, The exercises
consisted of songs, recitations, an
essay, and prayer, by the young
members, and the officers of the
“Numma" Hook Domestic Mis
sionary Society. The church was
nearly filled with visitors, and the
exercises show that- the children
are apt, aud that they are deeply
interested in'their society.

Prompted by tender momories
and loving hearts, the people of
Perry and viciuity will fittingly
observe onr Memorial Day, next
Tuesday, the 26th of April, at Ev-
green Cemetery.
The programme is decidedly
well arranged, and iriost appropri
ate in the fact that children of sol
diers will • utter the tender words
in loving memory and praise of
the heroes who suffered and died
in defense of the honor and homes
of the south.
The exercises will begin at Ev
ergreen cemetery promptly at 3
o’clock p. m.
The ladies who arranged the pro-
grsmme requested us to publish
the following .requests:
1st. That all business houses in
Perry be closed daring the Memo
rial hoar, and that every person
who can, attend the exercises at the
appointed time.
2nd. That all the ladies furnish
flowers, and assist in decorating
the graves of soldiers.
3rd. That none but soldiers’
graves be decorated.
There will be no decorating com
mittee, therefore it is essential
that the second request be cordial-
y observed.
Only one day in 365 is devoted to
rendering public honor to the mem
ory of our dead soldiers, hence it
is appropriate that their graves on
ly be made beautiful with flowers
on the annual Memorial day. The
grave of others may be decorated
on any or all of the other 364 days
of the year.
At the head of each grave of a
soldier will be placed a miniature
flag, and none will be neglected.
Tbe decorating is placed at the
conclusion of the programme, bat
any one so desiring can perform
her share of this work before the
exercises begin.
Col. C. C. Duncan will be mas
ter of ceremonies, and the order of
exercises will be as follows:
Song—“In the Sweet B,ye and
Bye.”
Prayer, by Rev. J. C. Brewton.

MARRIAGE IN PERRY.G
At about nine o’clock last Thurs
day morning, April 14th, at the
residence of Mr. Wm. Branson,
brother of the bride, Mr. J. Baskin
Clark, of Montezuma, was married
to Miss Olivia Branson, Rev. J. C.
Brewton officiating.
There were no guests other than
immediate relatives and next-door
neighbors, and almost immediately
after the ceremony the happy pair
left Perry in a carriage for Fort
Valley, where they took-the train
for Montezuma, their home.
The groom is the only son of
Mr. J. W. Clark, of Perry, and un
til recently was himself n popular
citizen of our town. He is now one
of the leading lawyers of Montezu-
ma.
The bride is the youngest daugh
ter of the late Maj. and Mrs. W.
Brunson, of Perry, and is qnite
popular here.
The happy young couple are
heartily congratulated by their
many friends, who wish them long
life replete with happiness and
prosperity. In these the Home
Journal cordially joins.
—Mr. E. J. Fuller has rented
the machinery and business of the
Perry Manufacturing Co., and will
soon commence the manufacture
of curry-combs. The merits of
these goods, as already introduced
in the market, will insure ready
sale. Mr. W. E. Fuller will be
associated with his father in this
business. Mr. Fuller has also se
cured the necessary machinery for
all kinds of tin and sheet-iron
work. Buildings for these en
terprises, and his wood-morking
machinery, will he erected on his
land, on the northern boundary line
of town. He will also fit np a gin
nery, in the most convenient way,
in time for this year’s cotton crop.
We are glad to see these enter
prises established in Perry, aud
predict that Mr. Fuller will oper
ate them successfully.
Dear Editor:
Allow us .to introduce ourselves
to you and the many readers of
your valuable paper. ' We are the
pupils of Centerville High School
who have organized onrselves into
the Excelsior Literary and Debat
ing Society.
Oar Hall (school house) is situ
ated in a very beautiful grove only
a few rods from Hattie. To the
north and east we look out over a
very picturesque wood, which is
broken byahollowrunningthrough
it, forming a favorite resort for the
violet plucker and rabbit hunter.
To the south we get a full view of
some of the most fertile farming
lands of central Georgia, perfectly
level aucl in the highest state of
cultivation. To the west we are
greeted by the merry little village,
Centerville, dotted here and there
with dwellings, gin houses, black
smith shops, etc. With the whis
tle of the merry farm-boy, the rat
tle of the dear old cotton planter,
the hum of the busy forge, and the
song of the mocking bird, we are
charmed and made happy, but as a
mere passing dream. We are de
voted to duty, and we are gratified
to say under the supervision we
now enjoy, hope some day to be
numbered with the educated, if not
the prominent.
The Centerville High School is
in a flourishing condition, with a
goodly number of enthusiastic pu
pils enrolled, and the kindest and
most progressive teachers in the
land. Ah! well, brother and sister,
schoolboys and girls know how
pleasant it is to leave home in the
morning knowing that you will be
met with a good-morning, pleasant
smiles and kind words. The bell
rings, and then to study and reci
tations. We are required to have
perfect lessons, which we invaria
bly do, and are instructed by the
best and most modern methods,
now and then recreated and stimu
lated by some funny joke, histori
cal or mythical, and lectures of in
valuable worth, which not only in
cite us to the value of our time and
how we may usefully utilize it, but
also to a brotherly and sisterly love
for one another, materially assist
ing each other and our teachers to
one great and true end,—a moral
and intelligent cultivation of body
and mind. On Thursday afternoon
we have a general written spelling.
Sometimes we miss a few words,
and of course ive feel bad, but our
hearts are made glad by the kiud
encouragement of our dear teach
ers. On Friday afternoon we di
versify our exercises. Sometimes
we devote ourselves to mathemat
ics; again to reading and recita
tions, and when we leave this dear
old place we go off as happy as
little birds, and are always glad
for Monday morning to come, so
we can see the faces of our teach
ers and salute one another.
We will give yon an idea of our
society exercises in our next at
tempt. We would be glad to hear
from the pupils of the sister schools
through the columus of the Home
Journal.
Pupils.
Hattie, April 18th, 1892.
Dear Journal:
In and around this little town
are found a quiet, busy population;
there are no politics except demo
cratic, and we never hear politics
'discussed except by some one. out
side the community; there is no
wrangling among religious denom
inations, but all have Christian
tolerance. Uar people make good
crops year after year, aud tlife pres
ent financial depression does not
cool their agricultural ardor. Our
lands are level, and have been ren
dered very fertile by liberal fertil
izing. Oar acreage in cotton has
been cut down all of 25 per cent.,
aud in some cases 50 pdr cent.
More oats and corn have been
planted than usual, though a bad
stand of the latter. Some have
planted melons, but not quite so
extensively as last year. Onr farm
ers seem to be more inclined to di
versify their crops than ever be
fore. Cotton is comiDg up)" and
oue farmer, Mr. T. D. Warren, is
chopping. We have two flourish
ing Sunday Schools, punctually at
tended, with-earnest, zealous su
perintendents. Rev. Mr. Strong
is pastor of the Methodist church,
and Rev. Mr. Norton, of Fort Yal-
ley, is pastor of the Baptist. Our
day school is a gem, presided over
by Prof. D. G. Lee, assisted by
Miss Hartsfield. Prof. Lee is cer
tainly the right man in the right
place; a native Georgian, and a
graduate of Mercer University. He
is a thorough classical scholar, and
has been teaching for years. He
is the highest type of a Christian
gentleman. His government in
school is kind, though firm. He
has no superior as a teacher, and
but few equals. Miss Hartsfield
is also a native Georgian, and is
thoroughly proficient and efficient.
There are between 80 and 90 pu
pils in attendance, who are orderly
in and out of school, and manifest
great attachment to their teachers.
I know of no better equipped school
anywhere. Parents and guardians
cannot do better than to send their
childrenDiere; board is cheap, and
location is high and healthy, with
good water. The frame-work of
Dr. Crawford’s new residence has
been raised, and the mechanics are
very busy in bringing it to com
pletion. It will be a nice and
roomy residence, located nearly in
the place of the one consumed last
December. Mr: Wm. Avera is
preparing to build his residence
here at once. Part of the material
is now on the gi-ound. Mrs. M. V-
Evans will also build a residence
here soon. A dozen or more tene
ment houses have been built here
in the last twelve months.

—The cold wave notice received
here last Friday agitated our peo
pie uneasily. It was feared that a
freeze would appear and destroy
the fruit. The freeze didn’t come,
but there was a heavy frost Sat
urday morning. Fruit was not
injured, but cotton and tender
vegetables were severely hurt in
some localities. It is a carious
fact that in some gardens here
beans, cucumbers, Irish potates,
tomatoes' and squashes were cut
down to the ground, while there
were no signs of damage in neigh
boring gardens.
—Mrs. Margaret G. Mood, aunt
of Mrs. J. N. Tuttle, died at the
Perry Hotel last Tuesday evening,
and was buried in-Evergreen cem
etery Wednesday afternoon. She
was about 83 years old, widow of
the late Rev. John Mood, of the
South Carolina Methodist Confer
ence. She came here about four
years ago from Charleston, and
about that time she became afflict
ed with a brain trouble. About
four months ago she suffered from
a stroke of paralysis, from which
she rallied in a very slight de
gree only. She became a member
of the Methodist church when only
fifteen years old, and her life has
been that of a consistent Christian.

eternal reward."

—Mr, M. J. Nelson moved his
family from Fort Yalley to Perry
last week, and they are occupying

—The second meeting of the
Houston County Teachers’ Insti
tute was held in Perry last Satur
day, with nearly all the teachers
present. The white teachers met
m the college building, and the
colored in Day’s Hall. The exer
cises were decidedly interesting,
though we were unable to attend.
The report came in too late for
publication this week, our columns
being fall when it was handed in
Wednesday morning, bat it will be
published next week.
The weather still puts on the air
of winter.
The cold winds and frost of the
past week have given things a
black eye.
Cotton planting is the order of
business now, and has been for
several days. This crop of the
precious staff will be almost as
large as usual, in spite of the low
price.
The peach crop is no longer a
question of doubt in this section;
it is settled, and we will have the
peaches.
The small grain crop is very
promising here, and with favorable
seasons will be the best we have
had in a number of years.
The melons that have been plant
ed are slow to come np from some
cause. There is no - scarcity of
seed, howevor, if a second planting
should be necessary.
A redaction in freight, and pre
payment of same, will not be ob
jectionable to many of the melon
growers here.
Mr. Croff Lewis and Prof. Hatch
ett went to Pfrry Saturday to at
tend the Teachers’ meeting.
Mr. Charlie Shirah has about re
covered, and is able to attend to
his duties again and keep his part
of the town alive.
There may be a failure in some
of our crops, but the candidate
crop promises to be numerous.
Mr. Croff Lewis, our candidate
for Commissioner, will make a
good one. He already has the can
didate grip and pass-word, and in
a short while will tell us of the
general health of the people all
over the county.
The friends of our clever clerk,
Walter Watson,will regret to learn
that he is confined to his bed with
fever. Hope he will soon be out
again.
Prof. Hatchett is on the sick list

Farming is progressing very
nicely, thoughiu some parts of

bad, owing to cool weather and
hard winds. Cotton is coming up
very slowly, on account or cool
weather.
I saw in’the last issue of the
Journal" several names for the dif
ferent offices, aud I have bep.r'l of
several others who will announce
this week. I tkiflk from what I can
hear that there will be at least one-
third of the men in the county who
are half-way competent to fill thi
offices, running in this campaign
I wonder if there wiil be any third
party candidates in the field? If
so, I hope they will be as honest
as the good old genuine democrats;
announce themselves as third par
ly candidates. We are going to
try, like meD, throughout this sec
tion of the county, to defeat some
of the candidates that are going to
enter the “race.” Oh well, I must
drop politics, as it causes the loss
of a great deal of sleep, and some
times the loss of friends.

much to the delight of the young

J. M. Pitts has a young chicken
with three feet, two iu the proper
place, and one where the tail ought
to be.
I have often heard it said of peo
ple having smiles on their faces as
large as a bread tray, but thought
it just an old saying until last Sun
day afternoon, I saw one on John
Stripliug’s face while talking to
the Bonaire young ladies; so I
have decided that it was not so
much of a saying.

life as there are now-a-days. When
[ was young I did my biggest mar
rying, and everybody else seemed
to do the same thing, and we had a

by attending the Sunday school
Easter service at Hayneville. Ev
erything was nicely arranged and
each one performed their part with
credit. On entering the church
we noticed the words inscribed,
“Christ is risen.” These words
were decorated with a wreath of
beautiful flowers, which were
tastefully arranged by the pretty
girls of Hayneville and Grovania.
Rev. Mr. Ainsworth gave us a

trait that I like, and it is sociabili

in town or in the country. Some
cranky scientist has argued that
the mosquito destroys malaria; but
if malaria is controlled at all by
the mosqnito, it is increased. I
