O. ltoiie. Yesterday being New Year Day, quite a number were in town. The rough father has, no doubt, set in to stay. People should not be slow in making preparations. Mr. G. T. Campbell was in town yesterday. While here lie did not forget the Journal office. BLACK DRAUGHT TEA Cares Constipation, Mr. Garrison moved, to Jiis netvhome in Maysviile, 'lues day. Homer’s best wishes go with him. Walker Thompson, colored* was put in Sheriff Scoggins’ keeping Saturday night for stealing cotton from Mr. B. F. Suddath of this county. Mr. W. 11.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS All persons expecting to Ct-sett in the Public echoolsin Basksconu ty the en.suing year, are hereby no tified that the examinations of teach ers will be held at Homer on the second day of January JB9O, begin ning promptly at 8 o’clock, a. m. rail not, as '.here will be only one d;w. This Dec. 2,1889. J. D Gunnels, c s. c., uanka co. Mr. J. W. Sumpter and Mr. J. I£. Stephens have swapped places. The former moves to the lurnbule place and the lat ter to the former's place. Mr. Stephens, it is said, will still carry oil business in the store room, recently occupied by the Journal office. This is one of the best stands in town. It is just opposite the court house. Duriug a short stay in Lula last Thursday night, we found the citizens of that place very | anxious to have a mail route established from here there. They say it is the only means of bringing Homer into notice lor a railroad. They are right about this. If Homer eve/ does enjoy a railroad she will be one of the greatest business points in northeast Georgia. There is a powerful rich back ing around her. It was the pleasure of the publisher to spend part of last week in Atlanta, on business. This growing city is booming. There is progress in Atlanta. Businessmen of the town tell us their industries of all bran ches are increasing CO percent, every year. Atlanta bids fair at some future day, to have no arrivals in the south. Her cli mate is inviting, to say noth ing of her industries and capit al, besides being the opening to all railroads in the 6oulh. Quite a novel case took place in Jackson county, near Maysville, last week. A man by the name of Martin, from Hall county, attempted to run away with the wife of a man named Pruitt. Legal proceed ings were taken out, the guilty parties were brought back to Aiaysville. Martin was put under a >VJbO bond. The wo man returned home with her husband. Finally the author ities agreed to let Martin go if he would pay costs and leave the state. This he did and skipped. i he baby played the part in getting Pruitt to receive his wife back, and no doubt, kept Marlin from going to the chain gang for several years. Communicated. Maysville, Ga. Dec. 31,1889. Editor Journal —Please al low space in your paper fora few notes from this place. Nothing of any importance has occurred to cause me to write. But I thought notes from here would be read by, at least, some of the young men who read your paper, for Aiaysville can boast of as pret ty girls as any town in the state. Christmas has been very qui et, but greatly enjoyed by the young people, who have been having sociables and suppers. Maysville is not on a Bir mingham boom, but is enjoy ing a very substantial growth by the moving in of good men of different professions. Mr. W. C. J. Garrison of Ho mer, is moving his stock of goods to this place and will oc cupy the old grange building, where he will add to his stock and do a large merchantile bus iness. Dr. T. G. Underwood will move to this place soon, where he will practice his profession and in connection run one of the neatest drug stores to be found in this part of the state. Our school will open the Ist. Monday in January, and the prospects are bright for a splen did school with full attendance. Mr. J. L. Mathews has return ed from Iloschton, where he has been on a visit to his pa rents. Mr. W. A. Mathews, our ef ficient depot agent, wears a broad smile on his face.. Its a bouncing boy for a Christmas gilt. If this den’t go to the waste basket I will write more next time. Reader. NO.
