Mrs. Harper of Harmony Grove, is visiting her (laughter, Mrs. Stephens. Saturday was remarkably a pretty day. The sun shone bright and .dear. Quite a number are taking advantage of the pretty weath er. They are sowing oats. The veteran soldiers held a big meeting here Friday.

The fire caught Irc m the Hue. Col. A. F. Watford of Corne lia, gave the Journal office a pleasant call Thursday, lie is one of the best posted men in Banks county. The measels are still here. They are quite familiar in their visits. They are not selfish. An impression is generally made in every family they go to see. They do not ask the in mates to return their visit. It used te be said Homer had a merchant “that would chase a green fly to Belton and wear out a $2 hat trying to kill him; all for the loss of a speck of flour.” Like the fly, that mer chant lias found other quarters McELKEE’S WINE of CAR.BUI lor ‘Weak Nerves, Would it not be well for the chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Banks to call a meeting at an early day? There is important busi ness for the committee. We would like to hear from others on this matter. Tom Langston sends us an other article. Space crowds its out this week. It will appear in next. We are not going back on him tor space. If these columns can do him any good in vindicating him of the charge and restoring him back to his helpless family, we give them to him with feeling.

Mr. 1 uvk reminded them of the proposed railroad. Furr said he would take Barden’s share. Barden said no, lie be lieved he would keep it. Mize said, if “you ail” don’t want it I will keep it. What a change in a few minutes. Does this notshov you what, a railroad will do for your county? Mr. W. P. Brooks, the new merchant, bus opened up.

Mr. Brooks is a full-Hedged, mem ber of the alliance. lie does not expect to run a farm and go into the merchantiie busi jess for pastime and popularity and ask any price for his goods he may chose.

Quite a large coon was seen coming from (Jarneaville a few days ago. 110 had a number of rings on his tail, and was fat and saucy. His appearance indicated that he had been liv ing on “the fat of the land.” but his movements were trif ling. When asked where lie was from, and where he was go ing, he said he “left Carnes viile, ‘bekase’ she had got a rail rod, and was ‘gwine’ to take up his quarters at Homer.” He was told that Homer’s prospect for a railroad was good. Then he ask about soma of the old citizens. \\ lien told some were (’lead. He ask the names ot those living. They were given him. “Well,” he says, “They are not in the majority, bui they may keep (he railroad away. I will run the risk t> f staying awhile with them." We heard a dog after the old fellow Tuesday night lie didn’t get him. nis friends were await ing him and took him in. No w, that dog says, “The next time he wants justice with a coon he is going to run him to a rail road town to get it. if he has to wear the moss off his back.” Coinniunicaied MVeUl}’ [By Rev. T. O.

'1 hough tiie_ train ,vrs a little late. We got there in comfortable time and preach ed an ordinary sermon to 40 persons. Held a church con ference, and dropped one mem her from the roll. “The Ladies Parsonage Aid Society” was or gunized with Mrs. Y’iny Neal as president, Miss Annie Brain let secretary, and Miss Caper tieasurer. The ladies at Lb cnezer intend to take a hand in every thing that is done lor tin Homer circuit parsonage. 1 never saw John W. Neal in niv life, that he did not ask me to go home with him. 1 went to dinner with him Satur day. lie says he likes every preacher that is sent here, and no wonder, for, after all our weakness, we are a very clever set of fellows. Saturday night was pleas antly spent withJ. M. Laugs ton and tauiily. H 5 tells me of a Baptist preacher down in Franklin, who says he never saw a dead mule or a Methodist preacher’s grave. . Prof. W. H. Cooper has a good school at Central. Miss Sal lie Louney is teach ing at Bald Springs. She lost her right arm in a sorghum rnili a few years ago. She can sew and knit and teach school; but it all comes left-handed to her. The ladies of llebron church gave Rev. G. H. Carlledge a birth day dinner last Friday. Mr. William Brown lias soft ness of the brain, and will die. Tom and Sam Bellamy have a saw buzzing down in Banks. Sunday was a beautiful day, and the congregation number ed 200 at Ebenezer. After an earnest sermon collection was taken for missions and tbefol lowing members contributed; Thos. Neal, ,f. W Neal, New ton Mayes, Mrs. R. 0. Mayes, Mrs. L. E. Langston, Johnnie Langston. Two other members subscribed. The good ITesby terian brethren and the Bald Spring members take a hand in alt tlie collections at this church, for which the Lord be praised. The rnos-, disgraceful scene was enacted at Ebenezer Sun day night, that it has been my fortune to witness in a long time. Some rough looking boys began to talk and laugh as soon as preaching commenced. Nodi ing was said to them lor awhile with the hope that they would get through. But they kept on talking until persons all over t he house began to notice them. They T were then reproved a hist and a second time, but did not cease their disorder until the benediction was p-onounced. The leading members of the church secured their names, and the next time you hear bom them will be in court and maybe next after that in Joe Brown’s coal mines. The breth ren say that the same set <>t “ruffs” broke up the prayer meeting out there. I had a royal good time with Newton Mayes Saturday night. Miss Fannie Daily is right sick with measels. So are sev eral others in the same commit nity. I got a neat little bunch of subscribers to the Journal as follows: J. W. Neal, Mrs. \ . E. Neal. J. N. Mayes, S. J- Car lin. Mrs. G. M. Patters >n, J. L. Gillespie, W. P. Brooks, Rev. J. E. Rorie and Mrs. Mattie Tucker. Mrs. G. W. Wiley died Sun day morning at 7 o’clock. She was 22 years old. She leaves two liille children. Within the !;; t ten years Mr. Wiley has buried a father and mother and three brothers and two wives. I attended the funeral of Sis ter \\ iley at Nails Greets church Monday. Rev. J. J-'. (loodo pri->-d from Ist. Cor. 15. 26. H vo ; a good sermon of 25 mil no s length. Every sentence of the sermon was good. Borne ex pressions especially so. lie said: “Death is the king of ter rors, and it is the terror of kings.” II ■s: id Christ did not, claim a place in the heart, but lie claims the heart. As the preacher warmed up to !ii= sub 1 ject, Sister Brown, one of ids best women in the church, got very happy, and shouted like “forty.” 1 asked Brother Go >bo if it was a common thing f-w the Baptist sisters to shout. He said it was at Nails Creek. That they areTsurrounded by the Methodist, and caught it, he thinks, from them. The most affecting scene to my mind was the sweet, little motherless children Ground, that did not realize that their best friend was being put un der tiie ground. Four mem bers of this church have died since the 12th of December. All females. There are now two hundred members. They paid the pastor about SIOO last year. There are live deacons; Jere Ward, E.

Sheridan and Mrs. Lucinda Sheridan spent a day at the parsonage lately'. By a slip of some sort you made me say last week that “to lie without knowledge is not good.” Now my deliber ate opinion is that, to‘‘lie’ at all “is not good.” That to “lie” with knowledge is worse than to “lie” without knowledge.” It should have been “to ‘live’ without, knowledge is not good.’ The letter “v” oeingout of the word “live,” made me say ‘lie.’ What a wonderful mistake omission of this little “v ’ made. Yet itcould be an ov ersight with anyone in hurried ly reading the proof. If your neighbor don’t take this paper, lend it to lain, lie must have the news. I got a goo 1 dinner and spent a pleasant hour with Uncle James Gillespie, Monday. lie supported ilia cause of mis situs in a tangible way before 1 left him. Josh Smith took the “Grip” the other day and cut and split nearly four hundred rails. He is now layed up with the back ache. Sheriff Scoggins and ids wife and daughter were at. the funer al Monday.
