—Several days ago a Houston

satisfactory arrangements could be
made with Mr. Dennard.
The Library Reception of the
Perry Epworth League at the
Wells House last Friday night was
a very agreeable social function.
About one hundred people, large
and small, old und youDg, attended,
and tlie enjoyment began when
the first guest arrived.
A written invitation had been
sent to every home in town, and
thereto came a liberal response.
A guessing contest wa3 the chief
feature of the programme. The
guests were seated in the dining
room, facing the wide, open doors
of the parlor. Mr. Fred M. Hou
ser acted as master of ceremonies.
The gnessers were provided with
pencil and paper, and as each sub
ject was presented, the guesses
were worked down seriatim. The
guesses were of authors, books,
poems, selections of mnsic. Each
author, etc., wa3 represented by a
girl, young lady, young man, some
times both. There were 49 guesses,
and several guessed correctly more
than 20 of them. Miss Gena Riley,
daughter of Judge A- C. Riley,won
the prize, a box of fine candy, with
28 correct guesses.
Mrs. L M. Paul,Miss Mary Giles
and Mr. F. M- Honser fnrnished
the music, instrumental and vocal.
Refreshments were served at
the conclusion of the programe,
and yet awhile longer social pleas
ures prevailed;
There were 77 books donated,
making an excellent nnclens for an
and Epworth League Library.
The affair was voted a complete
success by all who attended, and
it is said there will be other occa
sions of like character.

Another Runaway Damage Case
In Houston County Court an
other suit for damages caused by a
runaway team was tried last week,
and a verdict given the plaintiff.
In the territory contiguous to
Fort Valley, including Perry, the
Standard Oil Company delivers,by
agent, kerosene from a tank-wag
on. A few weeks ago the driver of
this tank'-wagon, to which was
hitched a pair of mule?, went into
a Fort Valley store to deliver oil.
The mules were on the street un
hitched, save to the tank.
A drove of horses passed by, the
males hitched to the oil tank ran
away, and in their mad career ran
amuck of and demolished a bnggv
belonging to Dr. M. R. Brown.
Dr. Brown claimed that his ve
hicle was damaged 850, and for
that amount suit was brought. ■
In the trial Hon. H. A. Mathews
represented the plaintiff, and for
the defense Col. L. L. Brown con
tended.
The plaintiff claimed that the
damage was the result oE negli
gence on the part of the oil compa
ny’s driver,in that he left the team
unhitched on the street. This was
upheld by a Supreme Court decis
ion by Judge Bleckley.
The defendant disclaimed negli
gence, inasmuch that the mules
were frightened by loose horses to
the streets, a violation of a Fort
Valley municipal ordinance.
Judge Riley gave the plaintiff a
verdict for 842.
The case will be certiorated to
the Superior Court
This case is very similar to one
recently before the same court,
Dennard vs. Middlehrooks.
People will take notice that to
leave a horse or mule, or two of ei-
their, unhitched in a street is le
gally construed to be such negli
gence as will render them liable
for any damage that may result.

request he was permitted to remain
sitting to the chair, and - soon he
could move his right arm slightly,

Last week Mr. Paul complained
of pain in right side, near the back,
and on Sunday was troubled some
what with slight dizziness. Mr.
Paul is a native of Germany, is
about 70 years old and for about

The Thursday Afternoon Club.
The Thursday Afternoon Club
is doing some fine work; it is neither
a glee nor an idlers Club. “Laboi
ipse Voluptos” seems to be the
motto, and I might ad “En ten te
cordiale” is certainly one of the
ruling characteristics of this pro
gressive association. Mrs. W. B.
Sims entertained the Club most
delightfully last Thursday.
Mrs. Sims’ home is one of the
coziest and brightest in our little
city. The parlor and hall were
made beautiful with Johnquiljs
and violets. The home is made
charming by the works of art,
adorning the walk, easels and ta
bles, all the work of Mrs. Sims
herseif. Mrs. Sims is not only an
adept of the pencil and brush, but
a most charming hostess, who pre
sides on such occasions with dig
nity and ease.
The refreshments served showed
that Mrs. Sims is also an artist "in
the culinary art.
The Club will be' entertained

In YEemoriam.
Whereas, Mr. O. L. Renfroe
whom the Master has recently
called “to that bonrne from whence
no traveler returns,” was once the
principal or our school, and is re
membered by os, as a kind friend,
and a faithful preceptor. Be it re
solved by the Adelphian Debating
Society of the Cnlloden High
school, in extra session, for this
purpose.
1st. That in the departure of
this good man the state of Georgia
looses a valuable educator—his
parents an obedient son—his sis
ters and brothers, one in every
sense worthy of emulation, his be
reaved wife and little oues, all that
a loving husband and father could
be.
And that we lose a very dear
friend, around whom the tendrils
of our young hearts learned to
cling for assistance, when oar con
fidtog natures were most suscepti
ble of lasting impressions for
good.
2nd. That onr lives should be
purer and brighter for bavtog
known him, and that our sympa
thies be united with the school he
last taught, and extended to his
sorrowing loved ones.
3rd. That a copy of these pro
ceedings be sent to “The HOUSTON
Home Journal” with a reqnest
that they be published.

his surplus produce there he will
be apt to spend his surplus money.
Make a market at home and he will
very likely produce what that mar.
ket demands.
There has been less farm work
done up to date than I ever knew,
and planting will commence later
than usual.
There is considerable talk nf
hard times, but I never expect to
see real hard times as long as the
women folks can bay their spring
hats. If the time comes’when they
can’t get the spring hat, yon may
be snre that Gabriel is tuning his
horn.
If there is any one who doesn’t
believe that the office of County
Judge of Houston county is a bo
nanza, just let him get the facts
and figure a little. Upon the pe
tition of many good citizens of the
county a bill relating to the County
court was introduced in the last
legislatare, but it sleepeth. I have
heard it said that some gentlemen
thought the bill, if enacted, would
be unconstitutional. Well, I don’t
know, but I think it is going to be
unconstitutional for some men to
go to the legislature some of these
daye.
I am not kicking, for I eongraU
ulate every fortunate one who is
worthy, bat it is really amusing to
me how easy some meD slide into
office. If they fail to be elected,
they just slide into office by ap
pointment.
Road working is the order of the
day now, and some excellent work
is being done. Though the roads
around Dennard, east of Mossy
creek, have received but little help
from the chaingang, they will com
pare favorably with the roads that
have been favored.
Speaking of the chain gang re
minds me that there has been
standing at Dennard for nearly a
year exposed to the weather three
road machines. The county should
not bay tools it does not need, and
should take good care of. what it
does buy. It is well known that
machinery tools and the like will
rust out quicker than wear out.
