T. W. WOOD & SONS,
Editor Home Journal:
Why can t we have a grand ag-
ricultual carnival for Houston
county at Perry this fall?
County fairs are considered al-,
most a necessity in Kentucky and j
other Western states. Why j
shouldn’t farmers, merchants,
mechanics and all other classes
spend two days each year some
what as “a feast of tabernacles,”
intermingling and commingling
together.
Say we offer premiums and
have exhibits of agricultual prod
ucts the first day, and the next
day live stock, poultry, etc. Have
a big game of ball for a prize.
Have a speech on agriculture, free
lunches, etc.
Say we raise stock subscrip
tions amounting to $250, with the
stock at $1 per share, and no one
allowed to take more than ten
shares.
Please call on. the people to
send in their snbscriptions on a
postal card to the Home Journal.
“Progress”
Such a carnival as “Progress”
suggests can be held in Perry next
October, or early in November,
and it would be directly benefic
ial to every person participating.
The Home Journal firmly be
lieves in the efficacy of county
fairs, or agricultural and industri
al exhibits, and has endeavored
each year of its life to promote
and incourage' them in Houston
county.
No matter where held, a county
or community fair has never fail
ed to produce good results. Be
yond argument in words, the val
ue of agricultural fairs has been
illustrated in Houston county at
Perry and at Idyl Wylde park.
There is no good reason why
there should not be a permanent
county organization for such fairs
herafter, beginning at once.
The Home Journal will receive
subscriptions suggested above,
but we go further and request a
meeting of all persons interested
at Perry next Tuesday. This will
be election day for a county com
missioner, public sale “,d a y> and
court day for the board of county
commissioners.
Despite the importance of this
suggestion,- it will not be carried
out except through - earnest and
persistent effort. It will not grow
spontaneously. Therefore we in
sist that all farmers and others
interested be at the court house
next Tuesday morning at 10
o’clock, prepared to organize this
movement on a progressive basis.
Changed Position,
To my friends, patrons and the
public at large;
I hereby take great pleasure in
notifying you that, beginning with
August 1st, 1901, I will be with
Mr. Abe Lesser, where I shall be
delighted to serve you, either in
person or through the mail, any
time in the future, to the best of
my skill and ability.
Please accept my thanks for all
past favors.
I am yours very truly,
Frank M. Houser,
With Abe Lesser, dealer in Dry
Goods, Notions, etc., 559 Cherry
Street, Macon, Ga.
—While coming to Perry from
Fort Valley last Sunday after
noon, Rev. W. A. Huckabee was
overtaken and thoroughly soaked
by a very heavy rain within less
than two miles of Perry, and took
refuge for a while in the house of
Mr. S. L. Norwood.
We were at Mr. A. J. Houser’s
flour mill a few days ago, and
found the mill very much over
crowded with wheat. His miller
said there were 1400 bushels of
wheat in the mill waiting to be
converted into flour, and the peo
ple were bringing it in faster than
the mill could use it. *Two sets of
hands are employed, and the mill
runs day and night. A great many
farmers are compelled to go to
the rock mills to get their wheat
ground,and we know of many who
have not been to mill yet, hoping
Mr. Houser will catch up so they
can go to his mill.
We understand Mr. Houser con
templates increasing the roller ca
pacity of his mill to 100 barrels
per day.
We have heard people from
Crawford, Macon, Bibb and Jones
counties say that if Mr. Houser’s
mill was on the railroad he would
get thousands of bushels of wheat
from those counties. We were
told that many farmers had haul
ed their’s on wagons, but it was
too great a hardship to go so far,
and then have to make two trips
to get their flour.
Won’t those who have capital
come to the front and help the
farmers out by fitting up another
roller mill in Houston county?
Another such mill would not only
be a great help to the farmers and
a profitable investment, but would
stimulate the farmers to plant
twice as much wheat as is now
planted. Sub.
The sincere thanks of the
Home Journal editor and prin
ters is extended to Mr. J. D. Gray,
of near Heard, for the nice peach
es sent to the office last Friday
Grovania Gleanings.

place closed last Friday night. It
was a good meeting and much in

there were no additions to the
membership of the church. There
were good congregations day and
night.

with a good rain, accompanied by
thunder, lightning, wind and some
hail. No. damage of any conse
quence that I have heard of.
