Enter the Lists.
We sincerely hope many Hous
ton farmers will enter the contest
for the cash prizes offered by the
G. S. & F. railway company for
best farm products raised within
five miles of that railroad. They
can as well contend for the cash
prizes offered by the Macon Tele
graph for the best results on four
acres and one devoted to the culti
vation of wheat. Houston farmer
have heretofore demonstrated that
their farms will produce as much
as those of aDy county in the state,
and it will be very much to their
benefit to make public this fact
again next year.
The money to be contended for
is the least item of benefit to result
from such contests. The inten
sive effort devoted to securing the
greatest possible quantity of the
best possible product from a given
area would benefit directly the
man as well as the land in every
way possible.
As a companion movement to
these contests, we insist that an
agricultural association in every
section of the county would prove
immensely advantageous.
The Home Journal is anxious
to apvance the best interests of the
county, and in carrying out the
above suggestions, or in any other
public enterprise, oar columns are
ever open and free.
We would be pleased to hear
from some of our farmers, for pub
lication, in reference to these sug
gestions.
Economy is Essential.
Mr. Editor:
Every person in Houston
county would unhesitatinly answer
yes, in reponse to the question, are
you economical in your living ex
penditures?
Most of them would not answer
with entire correctness.
Economy does not consist only
iD savings in the amounts paid for
food and clothing.
A family may save several dollars
month in the cost of food aod
then lose several times thatiamount
through sickne33 caused by im
proper food, or food improperly
cooked.
Money may be temporarily saved
in the price paid for clothing and
household goods, but this may be
lost, and more, by the use of goods
that are too cheap to wear well.
The wife and daughters may save
much by doing the household and
kitchen work, while double this
saving may be dissipated by the
husband, brother, or son, in the
purchase of cigars, or other expen
sive indulgense of appetite.
The business man, merchant or
farmer, may save much in the ex
penditures for the table, clothing,
honsehld goods, etc., yet lose more
in careloss and expensive buisness
methods.
The correct use of time, the de
votion of effort to duty continually,
the applcation of intelligence to
every effort,all are necessary to the
practice of true economy, and at
all times including exact knowl-
edge of the amounts of all expen
ditures and receipts.
No man can be economical un
less he knows exactly how and
where the money goes, as well as
how it comes. See.

Peaches and Melons.
The following is part of a long
article by Mr. T. O. Skellie, recent
ly published in the Macon Tele
graph. He says by proper care
Houston orchards will produce
good crops of peaches nine years
out of ten.
“I think we have advanced m
the fruit business in every way, ex
cept one, that is, we do not have a
crop any oftener than we did ten
years ago. There are too many
gaps between 1889 and’1898.
While it may be true it is profit
able, if one can have a crop every
three or four years, yet it would
be much more profitable if we had
one every year.
As a great many growers will
probably not mak9 any effort to
make a peach crop next year, I
think Houston county ought to
grow a thousand car loads of mel
ons, that would average from
twenty-five to thirty pounds, and
they onght to be grown by some
two hundred growers in patches
from ten to fifteen acres each.”

In Evergreen Cemetery.
Last Sunday afternoon, in ever-
green cemetery, the body of little
Jennie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. Baskin Clark, of Valdosta, was
given interment. The funeral was
from the home of Mr. C. E. Brun
son, ancle of the deceased child.
Little Jennie was two years and
about four months of age, and bad
been ill a comparatively short
while. This precious child died
Friday night, aud the body was
brought to Perry Saturday even
ing, accompanied by the father, the
mother being physically unable to
come.
The bereaved parents havejthe
sincere sympathy of their many
friends, who would-console them if
they coaid. Human sympathy
availetn not, however, when such
sorrow comes. Bat the Father
who called Jennie to the Eternal
Home will give comfort in his own
way and time. There is another
angel form in Heaven, and the
hands beckon to mama and papa
continually.

One of the most enjoyable even
ings of the season was Bpent at a
cobweb party complemintary to
Messrs. Hunter and Johannesen
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. J.
Permenter, Friday evening, Nov
11. Not a dull moment was spent
from the time the guests began
to arrive until the clock, had told
the midnight hoar and the last re
luctant good-bye said.
Lotto and Pillow Dax were play
ed until the time came for the un
weaving of the magic web. This
proved the climax of the evening
and many were the appeals of
laughter as the young spiders
crossed and recrossed each other’s
path in an attempt to follow each
strand to its end where father spi
der had laid away in some dark
nook a surprise for every enrions
and industrious worker.'
Dainty refreshments were serv
ed and never did a crowd of young
people realize more truly “How
noiseless falls the foot of time that
treads only on flowers”—for none
realized that time for going-had
come.
Farmers in the community have
sown more wheat than was ever
Bown before.

Houston Teachers’ Association.
An enthusiastic meeting of teach
ers was held at Byron last Satur
day, Nov. 12, which resulted in the
organization of the Houston Teach
ers’ Association for the benefit of
onr,teachers and the npbnilding of
onr schools.
Enthusiastic talks were made by
a majority of those present
Mr. E. H. Ezell was made pres
ident and J. Julian Newman secre
tary.
The president with Mr. J. G.
Cline and Miss Holleman were ap
pointed a committee to draft reso
lutions asking onr representatives
to use their efforts to prevent a cut
in the school appropriation.
No teacher can well afford to be
absent from these meetings, as
matters of mneb interest and im
portance will be discussed. All
teachers are requested to forward
their names to Mr. Cline, chairman
of committee on entertainment, at
Byron, Ga., that they may be as
signed for entertainment, and to
the secretary at Toy, Ga., for en
rollment.
Another meeting will be held
Saturday, Nov. 28, at Byron, and it
is hoped that every teacher will be
enrolled before that time.
No definite place of meeting has
been decided upon, and it is most
probable that the meetings will be
held at different communities to
which they are invited. The cordi
al invitation to meet at Byron next
was readily accepted,and those who
attend may feel assured of being
royally entertained:
To our meetings the board of ed
ucation and the public are cardial-
ly invited and urged to attend
The following programme will
doubtless prove very entertaining
and beneficial:

cises.

tice. J. G. Cline, Byron.
10.40 to 11—Arithmetic. E. Hall,

allowedfor in the programme at

and yon may be sure yon will be
entertained and benefited.
