HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, UA., THURSDAY, FEB. 0, 1890. THE BELTON, HOMER AND CARNESVILLE RAILROAD IS NOW A CERTAINTY. Hie Belton, Homer A Caraeß ville Railroad is assuming a business-like appearance. . Hie meeting called by the moneyed men of Banks and Franklin counties, and such men as Hu ice. Cogging, Quil lian and Faulkner frem Bel ton, means something more than mere jesting. This, is indeed, the oppoylu nity for Homer and Carnes jjwille, for the G. C. A N. is push mg its way rapidly to Atlanta from the North, and is parallel wit In he R. A*b., and there cer tain!? will be no ether compet ing line between. It remains for the people of Batiks and Franklin to seize the oportunity now to connect I their interests with the world, for others are wide-awake, and may border our counties with branch roads, as did the North eastern, and the honest labor ing people continue to be serfs for other sections. The location of Homer and Carnesviile and their natural advantages will secure to their occupants magnificent moun tain cities. The timber through which the proposed road will pass, will add immensely to the tax able property of the two coun ties, and will enhanca the val ue of the town property along the line, -w hich will make the most fogy citizen laugh at his simplicity, when lie knew not of the present age. The increase in the value of tarin lands will so astonish the weary laborers that they will wonder why they did not build a railroad y ears ago, and those who own mineral wealth will be astounded at the millions they have been trampling un der foot, seeking to gain the production of plenty from the fertile soil. An effort will be made to complete this line on THE FIRST TUESDAY IN MARCH, and to say that the meeting will be an important cue, only means gain or loss to the people of the two counties. Let every thinking man be present. Your help is needed. Come and help turn the wheel of progress that has been sleep ing for ages. CHlcovs EJ.aal-.s For Salo At this Offce.

A fresh line of Drugs, chem icals and toilets always lo bo found at Dr. Hardeman’s drug store. The Harmony Grove road was in a fearful condition last week. There were some places almost impassable. Mr. Brooks and his family have arrived. He will open up his stock of goods in a week or so. The measels are still holding the fort around here. Several of the boys have just recover ed from the loathsome pest. Mr. W. 11. Chambers informs the writer he wiil not teach school this year, but will farm. Mr. Chambers is an apt teacher J and scholar. It looks like he is trying to shirk his calling. Read the advertisement of W. A. Dale’s Hard vare & Tin ware Firm, Harmony Gkive.

Byar and the writer to visit Harmony GnD Frida;. While there we met Prof. Walk er, who informs us that the ma triculation of his school now numbers 110. The professor is a deserving young man. If scholarship and energy will win, the Harmony Grove Acad emy is bound to be a success under the care of Prof. Walker, An exchange says if you are a kicker and see the shadow ol a failure in everything that is proposed to help the town, for Heaven’s sake go out into some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow down the clay banks and thus give the men who are working to build up the town a chance. One long faced, chronic kicker can do, more to keep away business capital from town than all the j drouths, short crops, chintz bugs and cyclones combined. While in Harmony Grove last week we heard a man say he didn’t believe there was a man in Ranks county' ihat could beat the present sheriff. We told him the sheriff was aw ful popular. He said he knew Rill was going to make a good officer when he voted for him, and was willing to try him again. We ask him if he didn’t believe the sheriff’s vote would be larger this time? He said it would. Then we told him how the sheriff slipped Tom Langston from a lynching hist fall. He said he knew Bill. While in Harmony Grove Friday we noted quite a joke at Dr. Hardeman’s expense. A young man from the country carried him a note. In giving (he doctor tiie note, he made a mistake and gave him a sub poena. He was puzzled as be read the espislle and began to think over all he had done the last twelve months, when hs exclaimed, ••What is this bu'C It was 1 hen the young bailiff realized the mistake, and he stuffc-J the -writ’' down to Cm bottom of a half bushel pock , t in his overcoat- We have til ways thought that it didu c take a- ,vm’’ to tel the doctor to ■■court,” and no w we know it.
