-Prof. J. Manii Martin, prin-
board receive no reward whatever
other than the unstinted censure
that comes whenevet a patron be
comes dissatisfied with an act of
a teacher, or a rule of the board.
If this be not reward, there has
been none, unless it be the c<?n
sciousness of duty performed
without compensation.
Whatever of complaint that
has been voiced might have been
avoided or corrected, had the pat
rons cordially co-operated with
the boaTd .of education in an
earnest effort to make the Perry
ehool one of the very best high-
grade schools in the state. The
ears of the board are never closed
to the patrons.
The next term of the school
will open on the first Monday
September.
Last Tuesday was a grand day
at Elko, and the good people of
that town and vicinity added an
other leaf to their deserved lau
rels as most excellent hosts of the
highest dbgree.
The occasion was a celebration
of the birthday df St. John the.
Baptist, one of the most eminent
patron saints of Masonry.
Including .the home-folks, about
400 people assembled to enjoy the
program arranged, there being
resent Masons and friends from
aeon, Wellston, Bonaire, Grd-
vania, Hawkinsville, Unadilla,
Vienna, Henderson, Fort Valley
iftid other places.
The first feature of the celebra
tion was/ a magnificent dinner
spread in the large brick ware?
bouse. The chief portion of the
feast consisting of 28 fat pigs
barbecued to most delicious turn,
for which Georgians, and Houston
people particularly, are so justly
noted. The preparation of the
barbecue was under the stipends
ion and management of Messrs
J. H. Grace, J. F. Houser R. E.
Burnam and E. J. Faulkner.
While the barbecue was the chief
attraction, the table contained all
the other good things usual.to
week to attend the marriage df
his sister, and to spend at least.a
portion of the summer holidays

The District Meeting.
Within a few hours afterjthis is
sue of the Home Journal goes to
press, the first service of the an
nual conference of the South Ma
oon district of the M. E. Churoh
South will be field at Pe rry.
At least by 1:20 Thursday af
ternoon the full deligation will be
here, and oiiY people will have as
their guests about 60 good anc.
true men whose lives are couse
dratedto the cause of ohristianity
’ In the homes of our people and
at the hotels, most cordial hos
pitality is being, aud will be, ac
corded.
That some will be entertained
at the hotels is in no degree an
abatement of- hospitality, but on
ly an evidence of prohibitive con
ditions at a few homes that coulc.
not be avoidedor controllod.
During the conference there
will be at least two sermons each
day by some of the' finest pulpit
speakers in the state.
The business services morning
and afternoon will be interesting
to all who love the work of the
church, and at each service and
session there should be a large- at
tendanoe.
With this body of God-serving
people in Perry during several
days, good will surely be magni
fied to the town and people if
there be close sympathy with the
qccasion and it8 great purpose.

Houston “dinner on the grounds,”
and the wfiole was absolutely com
plete in every detail and doubly
abundant.
In the afternoon there were ex
ercises in the Methodist church,
including songs and addresses.
Dr. J. 0. Manii, W. M. of Elko
Lodge, presided. The welcome
address was delivered in cordial
language and appropriate manner
by Mr. W. S. Murrow. In re
sponse Judge A. 0. Riley of Fort
Valley spoke briefly in his usual
happy vein.
Hon. W. A. Davis of Macon,
Past Grand Master of the Georgia
Grand Lodge of Masons, delivered
the Masonic address. In every re
spect it was a maBterly effort, in
teresting, instructive, eloquent,
eliciting frequent applause. Ev
ery available space in the church
was - occupied, and many could not
enter.
Directly after these exercises,
the MasonB repaired to the lodge
room, and there 22 wives and
daughters of Masons received the
degree to which they are entitled.
At supper time another feast
was served, as good end abundant
as the dinner had been.
At night there was a lodge ses
sion, preceded by an address by
Mr. F. O. Miller,- Past Master of
the Fort Valley Lodge, followed
by the conferring of side degrees.
Altogether the celebration was
a complete success, cementing
friendship, advancing Masonry in
public esteem and augmenting
good fellowship. May there be
another such occasion in Houston
each succeeding year.
Elko Lodge is probably the
'youngest in Georgia, and later we
will give a synopsis of its unique
history.

Two-Horse Wagons. They are standard manes and guar
