will be provided.
* This term will embrace four cal
endar months. Certificates will be
issued by Treasurer C. E. Gilbert
—§2.50 each for pupils residing in
Perry, and §4.00 for non-resident
pupils. These are the incidental
fees,the remainder of the expenses
of the school bemg paid from the
state school fund, and taxation on
Perry property.
Prof. Miller insists that all pu
pils attend on the firs! day of the
term, next Monday, as he proposes
to grade the school. At all times
there are good reasons why pupils
should begin school on the first
day.and continue regularly through
the term, but in this instance it is
especially desirable.
The effort to properly grade the
school will be seriously retarded if
pupils fail to attend at the begin
ning oE the term. Such delay will
caase trouble to the teachers, and
materially interfere with the prop
er arrangement of the classes of all
the pupils. Therefore, parents and
guardians are urged to see that
there is no unnecessary delay in
entering the pupils. Tin's done,
the school work will be lighter and
more satisfactory for pupils and
teachers.

the plant will grow vigorously is
known, and if the quality comes up
fairly well, the question will be so
satisfactorily settled that the acre
age devoted to tobacco culture will
be more than doubled next year.
In Houston several farmers have
experimented, but the greatest
acreage in tobacco at any one point
is at Powersville. There Mr. W.
E. Warren has ten acres in tobac
co, and a few other farmers have
several acres each. Mr. L. M.
Barnes, an experienced tobacco
culturist from North Carolina, has
charge of the experiment, and now
is engaged in curing the weed as
the leaves ripen.
In a letter from Mr. Barnes
received Tuesday, he says:
“Please accept an apology for
treating your kind invitation to
write up some treatise on tobacco
culture with indifference. At that
time I fully intended to farnish
yon with the desired information,
bat'then it was that the dry weath
er set in and our prospects looked
gloomy. We were unable to plant
the acreage tha-- we contemplated,
and owing to dry weather we coaid
not secure a good staud on all we
planted, but to my knowledge I’ve
never seen tobacco do better in
Carolina under like circumstances.
“We have been curing for the
past few weeks, and the tobacco
shows up well as to quality.
“Yes sir, tobacco will do as well
here as anywhere.
“Our next step is to start a fac
tory, though we have quotations
from merchants north, ranging
from 2 cents to 20 cents per pound
for common primings^, (theleaves
from the bottom which are palled
off before the stalk matures). This
is gratifying. They write _ that
prices will advance later on.
“I will be glad to furnish you
with any information on this sub
ject that you may desire hereaf

hear from Mr. Barnes on the sub

FROM HENDERSON.
—Mr. L. M. Paul’s store in Per
ry was burglarized last Monday
night.. The back door was prized
open with an axe and other imple
ments, and goods to the value oE
about S150 were stolen, including
a shot gun, several watches, watch
chains, several pairs oE shoes, two
boxes of eigars, and other articles.
No money was secured, though the
money drawers were broken open,
and an effort was made to open the
safe with an axe. The identity of
the burglar, known to be' a man, is
suspected, and it is hoped that he
will soon be arrested. The bur
glary was discovered by Mr. H. T.
Gilbert when he entered the store
early Tuesday morning. The back
door was open, and the axe used
was discovered ou a shelf. Late
Tuesday afternoon Frank Smith, a
son of Seab Smith, a negro car
penter of Perry, was arrested on
suspicion of having committed the
burglary, but was released after a
thorough investigation, nothing
having been found to warrant his
detention.

—-The work done one the side
walks of Perry last week meets
the unqualified approval of all
our people.
Editor Home Journal:
Allow me space to give some ac
count of what happened in this
portion of the moral vineyard Sat
urday.
Iu company with Messrs. Davis,
Joues and Brown,I left Henderson
at 10 o’clock and drove to Mr.
Dallas Pcavy’s, iu Dooly county,
whe.-e we, found quite a nice crowd
yf ladies and gentlemen, both old
and young, the occasion being that
o£ a baseball picnic, given by the
Turkey Creek and County Line
Clubs and their friends.
By the time the dinner hour ar
rived the crowd had increased in
numbers until I suppose two hun
dred or more wore on the grounds.
Then the table cloths were spread
under the trees which line the
bank of the creek and an excellent
and abundant dinner placed upon
them and everybody invited to
partake of it.
Dinner being over, an hour was
spent in pleasant chat. Then the
crowd repaired to the ball ground,
and the game began. It was kept
up until about 5 o’clock, when the
score stood: Turkey Creek, 39;
County Line, 19. The game was
umpired by Mr. Dallas Peavy,
whose rulings on all questions
were accepted very pleasantly by
both sides. The best of humor pre
vailed throughout the game.
I think everybody enjoyed the
occasion, but none more than Un
cle Joe Herring, who drew his
seat up near a charming young
widow and soon seemed absorbed
in her bewithing words and smiles.
When the hour to go home ar
rived, it was discovered that Henry
Brown and Lew. Borum had foun
dered themselves. “With this ex
ception all went well, and I hope
we may have the pleasure of meet-:
ing these good people on another
such occasion at an early day.

Mr. J: S. Hancock attended gen
eral meeting in Monroe county re
cently. He reports a good meet
ing, and a general good time oth
erwise. His avoirdupois is in
creased 10 or 15 pounds, he says,
by reason of his visit and the fried
chicken he disposed of.
The election of Miss Ada McLe
more as president of our Literary
Society, places it for the first time
under the lead, of a lady. Miss Ada
is one of our best young ladies,
and the Society will, no doubt,
prosper under her administration.
The young men cannot afford to
fail to come in now. Gallant young
man, yonr gallantry is at stake; the
privilege is vonrs to maintain or
let fall.
Mr. A. C. Boon has left the ag
ricultural shore and embarked in a
general merchandise canoe. He
now afloat on the mercantile
sea, with his mast head pointing,
we hope, toward the port of suc
cess. We wish him God speed.
Tlie death of Mr. Johnson,
of this section, which occurred last
week, closes the mortal life of, per
haps, the oldest man in this coun
ty, if not the oldest in this section
of the state-. He was 96 years of
age, I am informed.
Not so very long ago there was
at Cleveland schoolhonse, in this
community,a pinic, which we think
we are S3fe in saying was enjoyed
by all attending with a considera
ble degree of pleasure. It was pro
nounced by many to be the lergest
in point of attendance of the season.
Early in the forenoon the partici
pants began to gather, and not un
til late in the afternoon did they
cease coming.
A platfosm had been arranged
under the broad,spreading branch
es of the shade trees, which none
seemed-to regard with an eye sus
picious of a “rotten plank” (either
sub-treasury or free -silver), and
from the tests they gave those
planks in tipping the light fantas
tic that day, we are prepared to as
sert most positively that no un
sound one existed. Fining the
platform (like some politics) was
not broad enough for all to dance
on, the school house was cleared
of its battle-scarred furniture, and
soon it presented a scene not un
like that of the platform, which
reminded one of the celebration of
the victory of some great political
leader.
About 12:30 o’clock Mr. Crate
Anltman mounted a stamp and an
nounced a free dinner to all who
felt the desire to partake. Another
assertion I am prepared to make is
that not only was there, dinner in
abundance, bat also the desire to
partake existed abundantly. The
former not more than the latter,
however, and all fared sumptuous
ly.
As the last infatuated picnicker
left, just after the sun had disap
peared from view, he was heard to
say something like the following:
This is one of the happiest days
of my life, you bet.”
We generally have enough in va
riety to satisfy the most fastidious,
and a sufficient quantity to dispel
any suggestion of scarcity in most
of onr undertakings. Accordingly
considerable number appeared at
the Literary Society that evening
in response to an invitation given
at the picnic gronnds. The pro
gramme was long and complete,
and each rendition was awarded
-its merited share of hearty ap
plause by the appreciative audi
ence. As we were on our way
homeward, we overheard the same
individual quoted above in refer
ence to the picnic say, in response
to a remark of approval from the
fair partner at his side, “Miss

Another sad dispensation
Providence has called away our
dear Mend and former member of
our school. Her cheerful pres
ence will greet us no more; her
voice will mingle no more in onr
songs and exercises. Death at all
times is of solemn import to all.
When the aged and decrepid un
der the weight of yeara bend to the
grave, his hoary locks and totter
ing steps foretell the end is near,
and we say ’tis well. When one
lives the allotted span of life,
serves his time and generation
well, we say ’tis well, and all are
prepared for its dose, as the sear
leaf naturally falls to the ground.
And when the veteran soldier hav
ing achieved victory through a
long and arduous campaign, lays
his armor by, crowned with hon
ors, receives his discharge, we say
well done faithful servant; ,tis well
—as when the monarch of the for
est having withstood a thousand
storms, refreshing the weary trav
eler through all the years with its
cooling shade, at last falls to earth,
we say its fall is timely and natur
al. But when the summons comes
to the young, with a future radiant
with hope and happiness—just en
tering upon manhood or woman
hood—the frnxtage of their youth
ful dreams ripening to their fall.
The shadow darkens—we start in
surprise and feel that some invisi
ble hand is in it, seemingly thwart
ing the natural coarse of events,
(catting off oar pleasing pictures).
So passed away our departed
Mend and sister, just as the morn
ing of life’s womanhood opened in
bright and unclouded day—the
beautiful prospect gilded with the
golden sunshine, having a few
short joyous weeks before chosen
her life companion in the battle of
life. Sick but a brief period, sud
denly as if from ambush and swift
as an arrow the summons came,
and she, as if falling on sleep, and
as if unwilling to disturb the need
ed rest of the weary watches at the
bedside, quietly, noiselessly slips
away from her tenement of clay—
passes the pearly gates to her home
in Heaven.
O how sad! How mysterious!
How desolate that home! How
mnch sunshine, joy and gladness,
bad she lived, she would have shed
in that happy home, we may not
know. What good and useful
works her willing heart and hands
wonld have accomplished are to ns
unknown. But we have reason to
believe, that reared by pious pa
rents and having at a very early
age given herself to the church,
she would have acted well her
part, ready for any good work.
Nor shall we know till the last
day what perils threatened the
way—that page may reveal the lion
cronshed by the way ready for his
prey! The pestilence rising to
spread its infections breath and
blight the fruition of the fondest
hopes! Or, the storm gathering
in blackness, dashing huge billows
of trouble over and aronnd the
barque, making the voyage rough
and perilous. Is not the hand of
our Heavenly Father visible in the
cloud that skirts onr earthly vis
ion? If He smites in mercy, shall
we not kiss the rod? If He wonnds
the tender heart, will He not apply
the healing balm?
In this view the admonition “be
ye also ready,” sounds in our ears
with a doable emphasis.
Let us heed it
Therefore be it resolved
L That we recognize the hand
of the Father in this sore afflic
tion, and humbly bow in submis
sion to His unerring fiat
2. That we tender the sMcken
and devoted parents, the sorrow
ing Mends, and the disconsolate
companion in his unspeakable
grief, our heartfelt sympathies and
condolence, and commend them to
the consolation of Christian Hope.
