A mirror was an important fac- j
j tor in revealing the operations of a!
thief at the Perry Hotel. Several
times recently a negro boy walked
down the ball of the Hotel and en
tered a closet in the rear room, un
locking the door with a key. A la
dy in one of the rooms could see a
mirror in an adjoining room, and
in that mirror she saw the form of
the boy reflected as he walked
down the hall, entered the closet,
and returned as he came. This
fact was reported to Mrs. Tattle,
but no close investigation was
made until several days ago, when
it was found that some money was
missing. The lady who saw the
boy described him, and his identi
ty was revealed. The boy was
canght, and his mother was sent
for. The result was the money was
returned to Mrs. Tattle, and the
boy was severely whipped by his
mother. It is not improbable that
a whipping post for the punish
ment of such crimes would prove
more effective than money fines
or the ebaiu gang.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS’ COURT
Commissioners’ Court for Hous
ton connty met pursuant to ad
journment this Sept. 5th, 1892.
Present and presiding J. D. Mar
tin, J. D. Tharp, J. H. Grace, I. F.
Murph and 0. M. Hoaser.
The initiates of the last regular
court and the two adjourned courts
were read and confirmed.
It is ordered by the court that
Rachel Toomer and Ada Warren
be paid SI per month, each, out of
pauper fund.
The road commissioners of the
Lower 5th district report that the
change of road petitioned for on
W. W. Simmons’ land in the Up
per 5th district, would be of no
public utility. The court therefore
refused to grant the change peti
tioned for.
The following roads in the Ninth
district were reported to the court
as being in bad condition, and the
road commissioners of said dis
trict are reported for the same, to-
wit: The road from Gurr’s Bridge
to Perry railroad at the Cooner
place; the road leading from Gurr’s
Bridge to the Kagan place, and the
road from Slappev’s Mill to the
Mathews place. It is therefore or
dered by the court that the clerk
of this court do summon the road
commissioners of the 9th district
to appear before the Commission
ers’ court of this county, in Perry,
on the first Monday in October
next, to answer the accusation the
petition contains.
The clerk is hereby instructed
to send the Tax Digest for the
present year to W. D. Croom for
correction, as there are quite a
number of errors on the digest re
turned to the Ordinary’s office. It
is important that said digest should
be correct, as that is the one the
Commissioners use in correcting
mistakes.
On motion, court adjourned to
}he first Monday in October next.

Byron High School has again
been so fortunate as to secure the
services of Maj. E, H. Ezell as

Mrs. R. H Baskin is visiting

Miss Mattie Walton left here
Saturday for Barnesville, where
she enters the Gordon institute.
About three weeks ago Dr. M.
D. Hood’s drug store was burglar
ized and be lost $26. Three negro
boys, Ben Green, Tom Mason antf
Aaron Green, were suspected and
arrested, but after investigation
were turned loose.
Death has again swept onr com
munity, and this time has carried
off with it two promising youDg
men. Mr. J. W. Aaltman’s two
sous, Willie and Joe, died at tbe
home of their father in Byron last
week. Thursday morning dawned
upon the corpse of Willie, and
Friday evening at 5 o’clock Joe’s
spirit took its flight. God willed
only one day’s difference in the in
terment of these dear brothers.
The latter had been in wretched
health for many months, and his
death has been expected for a long
time. Up to 18 months ago he was
an engineer on the G. S. & F. R.
R., but bad health compelled him
to give up his engine. At that
time he weighed over 800 pounds,
and has been gradually decreasing
in weight since, nntil at his death
i was reduced to 60 or 75 pounds.
Two weeks ago Will was in per-
feet health. His death was.caused
by being drenched in a rain after
playing a very lively game of base
ball; three or four days afterward
he took typhoid pneumonia, from
which he died.
The warmest sympathy of the
community is tendered tbe be
reaved family.
We‘ most remember that God
has some, wise purpose in adminis
tering these chastening?, and that
His will, while it renders sad the
heart of man, must not be ques
tioned nor protested.
No news np here, only we are
having nice weather at last,aad the
farmers are busy gathering cotton.
We are paying 40 cents per hun
dred to cotton pickers, and expect
to realize 5J or 6 cents a pound
for the cotton.
Now, Mr. Editor, can the farm
era keep this np much longer, and
make buckle and tongue meet?
think not The farmers are mak
ing too much cotton, and not near
enough hog and hominy.
So the the third party candidates
were at Powersville last Wednes
day and made speechea. I don’l
want to hear any of their talk, for
my mind is made np, and I expect
to vote the Democratic ticket ’till
I die.
One of Houston’s third party
men was preaching that doctrine
to one of my neigbors tbe other
day,and said, if they conldn’t elect
Weaver, they preferred Harrison
to Cleveland. The gentleman
asked him what about the force
bill. He replied: “Let it come; it
is just what we need. Mr. Editor,
what do you think of a southern
man who makes nse of snch re
marks as the above.
This same man was in the Con
federate army, and while stationed
in North Carolina, he went to an
old lady’s hotfee foraging. The la
dy had a piece of cloih in a loom
he told her he wanted that cloth.
She asked him not to take it, as it
was all she had to make clothes for
her little children. He cat the
cloth ont of the loom, I am told,
and having no other need for it,
used it as a saddle blanket- When
his comrades found it out, they
made him carry the cloth back to
tbe owner. If this report is true,
and I have every reason to believe
it is, I blnsh to know sach a man
lives in old Houston.
W. L. Carr’s address to the peo
ple, as he calls it, reminds me of a
parson who had just been “called 1
to preach. After talking about an
hour be stopped short off,{exclaim
ed in a load voice, “Brethren, Pm
in deep water,” and sat down.
John Rix, a half-witted fellow, was
in the church; he turned to his
neighbor and said: “The fool
had no business getting into deep
water; he knowed he couldn’t
swim.” So with Bro. Carr, he got
in deep water and couldn’t swim.

DEATH AT BYRON
HENDERSON HAPPENINGS.
—Dr. J. T. Coleman, of Hender
son, owns a Shepherd dog that is
old and wise. He obeys orders in
telligently, and is very valuable as
a sentinel and a servant. He also
has a fine reputation as " a hunter,
bnt as a “fisherman” he is said to
excel all his other acquirements.
A gentleman who boarded with
Dr. Coleman several pears ago was
given to piscatorial" sport Shep-
was Ms constant companion along
banks of the creeks. This gentle
men fished with hook and line, and
declared that the dog would watch
intently, and would invariably
bark whenever the cork “bobled,”
thus notifiying Mm that a fish was
biting. He said Shep never made
a mistake, and that the dog would
watch while the fisher slept, and
give correct warrnng every time.
— Mr. D. H Houser, who is the
original third party man in Hous
ton, was in this office last Monday
morning, and paid his subscription
for the Home Journal. He confi
dently declared the third party
would carry Houston in the com
ing elections, claiming that about
300 white men and nearly all the
negroes would, vote for the third
party candidates. This claim is as
extravagant and absurd as the
third party platform, and Houston

Mr. Editor:
After “nosing” around a little,
we will endeavor to give you some
news from our little town one more
time.
Cotton picking is the order of
the day now. The farmers seem
very anxious to get their crops
out, though the price is indeed dis
heartening. Surely the farmers
will soon learn that so much of the
“fleecy staple” cannot be raised
profitably. i
The railroad fever is cooling off
here ’ now, as we do not see nor
hear anything of the road nor the
men. “Such is life ”
Bro. Ainsworth carried on a good
meeting here last week, though no
accessions were * made. He was
very ably assisted by Bro. Nease,
and young Bro. Ainsworth, of Ma
con, who is an able divine. Also
Bros. Clark and McGehee, whom
all the readers of the Journal are,
we presume, acquainted with. Dr.
Clark and Bro. McGehee are two
of Georgia’s *most able preachers.
We are sorry to have to chroni
cle the illness of Mrs. J. E. Tucker.

Died at tbe home of their father,
Mr. J. W. Anltman, in' Byron,
Georgia, September 1st and 2nd,
1892. Joe. S and Willie G. Ault-
mao, ages 23 and 20 years’
Once more the messenger of
death has entered our circle and
silently stole from our loving
hearts these boyhood friends.
Dear Willie was first called;
with a smile on his sweet boyish
lips, he willingly and lovingly
yielded up his spirit to God. He
was my childhood and boyhood’s
dearest friend —and his dear face
and pleasant words will forever
linger in life’s memory. Willie,
the fairest, proudest boy that slum-
oers with the dead, for a while
farewell, until we meet in that
home of the soul.
‘•Tiro hands upon the breast,and labor's done;
Two pale feet still in rest, the race is won.'*
Dear Joe after long suffering,
patiently borne, was glad and hap
py to leave his suffering and take
his flight to the mansion prepared
for him and bis brother Willie.
Joe was also our boyhood friend;
ho nobler, truer, more generous
friend lived; we can never forget
him, nor his genial ways. Yet
while we mourn, we are comforted
by his willingness to give his soul
into the hands of God. Many
friends are left disconsolate, bat
not without hope of an everlasting
reunion in the sweet fields of Ed-
with both of onr beloved
friends.
Two eves with coin weights shut, all tears cea-e—
Two lips where grief is mute, andall at peace
So pray we oftentime^f murmtroig our lot—
God in his Idndrn ss answereth not.

Byron, Ga, Sept. 5th 1892.
ing of any note of the People’s
Party in Houston connty, 1 have
been requested by the friends of
both sides to give yon for publica
tion an nnvarnished statement of
the whole proceedings.
According to arrangements, pre
viously made, a goodly number of
the citizens of several sections of
tbe connty assembled at Powers-
publican in days gone by, or that
he had been gnilty of forgery,
cheating and swindling. He then
branched out and scattered over
all the dreamy spaces of Ocalaism,
Omahaism and Weaverism, and
woand up by criticising Crisp for
getting an appropriation for clean
ing oat the Ocmnlgee river. He
announced that he would beat
1892, to bear speeches from Hon.
W. L. Peek, the people’s party
candidate for governor, W. R. Gor
man, the people’s party candidate
for secretary of state, and Col. F.
D. Wimberly, the people’s party
candidate for congress from the
third congressional district.
By request they agreed to divide
time with Col. H. A. Mathews, of
Fort Valley, who was on hand to
represent the “straight” democra
cy. The discussion was opened by
Col. Gorman in a speech of one
hoar. He was followed by Col,
Mathews in a speech of one honr.
Then came Col. Peek in a speech
of one hour. He was followed by
Col. Wimberly in a speech of one
hoor; and after him came Dr. B
L. Ross, ef Fort Valley, and
other gentlemaD, whose name I do
not now recollect; bnt they repre
seated the “straight” democracy.
1 did not hear the speeches of
the two gentlemen last named, bnt
suppose that they, like all the oth
er speakers, did and said the best
they knew.
The whole proceedings were con
ducted in an easy, friendly man
ner, and each speaker acquitted
himself very creditably.
Col. Peek is an able debater,
and fully up in all the great politi
cal issues of the day. And al
though at sometimes very scathing
in his -arguments, he treats his op
ponents with commendable courte
sy and magnanimity, and tbe man
who undertakes to meet him on
the stump had better be sure that
he is fully posted, or he will come
off second best
Upon the merits of the argu
ments advanced by tbe respective
speakers I have no comment to
make. I leave this with those who
heard the speakers to determine,
each for himself, as to who tipped
the beam in the argament. *

Q. P, Marshall.
From the Fort- Valley Leader’s
report, we reproduce the follow
ing extracts:
The crowd consisted of about
sixty whites and half a dozen ne
groes. The white voters present
were .all true blue Democrats ex
cept nine, who say they are third
partyites.
Candidate Gorman began speak
ing at eleven o’clock and made a
remarkably uninteresting speech,
without much wit and without
any solid reason. -He spoke on
the same old thread-bare subjects,
the wrongs of tbe farmers.and the
oppressions of the merchants, the
high aud mighty ways of the towns,
and the poor depressed conditions
of the country, and tried to saddle
all on the Democratic party.
He blamed this party for the
low price of cotton and even for
the high price of meat. He got
very little applanse, even from
the faithful nine.
H. A Mathews, after thanking
the third party people for allowing
him the privilege of speaking for
Democracy, proceeded in a very
direct and business-like gwayj to
show up the shallow fallacies of
the third party platform.
The speech of Mr. Mathews was
well received and heartily applaud
ed. He got in some telling hits at
the third party candidates, which
were much enjoyed by everybody
except the T. Ps. Though inter
rupted by them several times, he
always succeeded in turning the
laugh upon them, so they ceased
interrupting after a short time.
Col. Peek then spoke for an
hoar and a half. He got up look
ing mad, and burst into bis speech
like a bull into the arena. After a
short while be toned down into his
sterotyped speech consisting of in
cendiary language intended to
make the farmers of Georgia be
lieve that they are the poorest and
most oppressed of all people, and
that it is the democratic party that
is at the bottom of the whole busi
ness. This kind of idiotic stuff he
mixed np’with anecdotes, some of
which were very funny and .made
the democratic crowd langh very
hearty. Bnt it was entertaining to
see how the faithful nine enjoyed
Peek’s old jokes. The nine were
in eestaeies, and made good nse of
their heels in cheering. Only nine
cheered. These were the same
nine that everybody knows to be
the third party of Houston, there
being perhaps four or five more of
that lonesome class. Among other
remarkably adsurd statements by
Peek was one that the democratic
party was responsible for all the
laws passed in the last twelve,
years. His statements were
reckless and untrue as they were
Vehement
Blue Fred followed in a hs-
ed the negro vote, and was pro-
ceedingfin a round-about-way to get
at the negroes present by speaking
of them as the “bottom rail,”
though having as much political
rights as anybody, when Dr. Ross
interrupted and asked him if he
meant that he desired tbe bottom
rail on top. This seemed to place
the Hon. Fred, in a bad position,
and he crawled ont by going im
mediately off into the dreamy re
gions of Omaha, &c.
"When ' Wimberly was throngh,
although the crowd had been sit
ting for five hours, most of them
remained and heard an excellent
democratic speech by J. H. McCor
mick, who had come np during the
speaking upon a telegraphic mes
sage from Powersville asking him
to come. Dr. Ross introduced him
in some ringing remarks that pro
voked enthusiastic applause.
Altogether, the third party meet
ing turned out to be a grand demo
cratic revival.
