The Home Journal, Perry. Ga.
On last Friday afternoon at 2:30
o clock, Pres. P. I). Pollock, of Mer
cer University, spoke to a large
crowd assembled in the school house
at Bonaire. There were also exer
cises by the school children, begin-
ning at 2 o’clock and continueing
after the address.
The school exercises were highly
entertaining, and reflected credit
upon the children and their teach
es. Even the youngest child was
perfectly, at home in his part.
Pres. Pollock took for his theme
the work of the common schools.
He spoke of what would soon be
the condition of the country if the
schools and churches were to be
closed and discontinued. He quoted
some great man as saying that when
he went into a community he first
put his hand upon the pulse of the
school, and if that beat right the
community was generally found to
be all right.
The life of the child was discuss
ed as to the development under the
influence of the parents and teach
ers, and the work of the teacher was
shown in its serious responsibilities.
He said that all he was or should
ever be was due to one of his teach
ers, who was kind enough to teach
him that he could become a good
and useful ruaD; and this at a turn
ing point in his life when everything
could have easily gone otherwise.
The need of a hearty co-operation
between teacher and was dwelt upon.
Pres. Pollock is an attractse man
and an eloquent speaker, and not
only the older people, but the small
children listened attentively through
out the speech. A Visitor.
Hollinshead Happenings.
BY CIBUS.
A part of Mossy Creek Fishing
Club had a fish-fry on last Friday
night, which was well attended,
there being twenty-seven men pres
ent who were firm believers in ex
pansion to a very great extent. Mr.
B. F. Hammock was chief of the cu
linary department and acted his role
well, which we place to his credit.
All that were caught were eaten—
there were about fifty pounds,which
satisfied all. Some stayed all night.
I guess they were charmed by the
excellent music made by Mr. Ed.
Boler. Much fun was made, to the
amusement of many And discomfort
of a few.
Mr. Frank Hammock of Fort Val
ley was in our community last Sun
day visiting relatives and friends.
Mr. H. E Murray went to Perry
last Saturday.
Mr. Seagers and Mrs. McCrary
were in our community last Sunday.
Miss Ollie Harper and Mr. John
Allen viewed the landscape and dust

Alex. Stephans wrote his editori
als for the politicians and intelli
gent, but we write for the sake of
occupying time and space, and for
the amusement of hoboes, idlers and
all who may chance to read, forget
ting the fact that it is never known
how big a fool one is until he or she,
or both, undertakes to write a letter.
Therefore, we bid you a fond adieu
—yes, that’s the word—with a sin
cere desire for the prosperity of our
own dear Hollinshead.

PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION,
Buffalo, N. Y., May 1, Nov. 1st, 1901.
BY KID.
Some of the men and boys of our
community attended a fish-fry last
Friday night. On their return home
they informed us that they had plen
ty of fish, and though they never
said so, we are inclined to believe
that they had something stronger
than water to drink.

Tire Pan-American will be one of the

The qtfestion of traveling lo and from

A Reply to an Open Letter.
I have shed three or four tears
J over your unfortunate letter for
j your sake'; my objection to it is
that it was wide open. It lets out
thebadjbut does not Jet in thegood.
Pity you are under the control
of “certain brethren”. Why did
you not learn of me before you
made an unsupported statement
in print?
Why did yoii step down from
your pulpit to sling mud at me?
You say that you love Calvinism
better than your live! Why do
you not love the truth as well, and
a brother’s good name? O, shame!
In defense of an ism, you break
the moral law.
Have you not read, thou shall
not bear false witness against thy
neighbor?
O, that an elegant taste had
made you respect the sanctity of
my home! What have you to do
with the education of my son at
Emory?.
Perhaps if you had been educa
ted there you would not act so
badly, aud would not invade the
privacy of one’s family affairs.
Under saintly garb and in pi
ous phrase you close your letter,
“kindly and fraternally yours.”
But does not every one see that
you are not fraternally when you
slander my name? The voice is
indeed the voice of Jacob but
the hand is the hand of Esau. Do
you kiss me while you strike me?
The scripture says: decitful are
the kisses of an enemy.
Your letter is not argument. It
is a libel. It is a slander.
I would believe that faithful are
the wounds of a friend ouly if you
were telling the truth on me.
I fear your wide open way.
Bid farewell to Baptism all ye
who enter there. Calvinists all
hail. And then profoundest wide
open door receive thy new posses
sor. Truly,
C. K. Henderson.
