•JrWINE OF CARDUI, A Tonic lot Woinea
Schoel Items:—We notice
that the cow’s of nomer have
appeared with the crape veil
on. It seems that they think
liberty is short, and the old pas
ture is dry and small, and you
see we will have a good pros
pect of shipping hides when
we get the railroad.
From the shines of his face,
it seems that a certain young
man in this town consumes a
great deal of his time in front,
of a mirror with the young la
dies swandown box in one hand
and a face mop in the other,
and mops his face until he looks
like he had about 1 pk.of Hour
spiked with Lillywhite rubbed
on it. From the reflection as
ho enter the school room, it
seems that a combination of
swandown and magnolia balm
will make a boy’s face shine as
we 1 as a girls.
A gentleman it east nomer
went to feed his hogs. On cast
ing his eye around he discover
led a pig which he thought was
fast, (the pig had stuck its nose
|in the crack of the fence and
died,) bathe hastened to it and
I raised the fence where the pig
| was, but the pig did not move,
and he cried for help, and some
one was passing along the road
when ho said pull out this
blamed pig while I hold up tlie
fence. It aint got sense enough
to back out. Readers.

The congregation at the
Methodist Church in Honur,
Saturday, was largely a repre
sentative one. There were
three ladies out: Mrs. Bow
den of the Methodist Church,
Mrs. Jack Turk of the Presby
terian, and Mrs. Scoggins of
the Baptist. If these three
elect sisters had not been pres
ent, I would have preached to
“men only.” On the men’s
side were two farmers, one law
yer, and one merchant. Now,
if you will add to this number
two or three children, you will
have the size of the first Satur
day congregation I ever called
together in Homer. lam won

again?

Bro. Anderson and Joe Sla
ten supported the cause of mis
sion :
I had a number of cordial
invitations to dinner, as I al
ways do, not only at this
church, but at each of the oth
er churches in the circuit.
These invitations always cheer
me, and are a means of grace.
It happened so that I got in
with the best Methodist minis
ter in the crowd, that is if a
fried chicken means anything.
However, a good Baptist would
have been pleased with the
dinner, for they had chicken
stewed.

At an early hour Monday
morning people began to roil
into Homer to attend Josh
Smith’s trial. Col. Brown was
W. T. Cochran's lawyer, and
Judge Moss was employed to
defend Josh. ITo Scoggins,
Ben. Parks and others, sued for
a compromize, and succeeded
in getting the case settled with
out a regular trial. A paper
was signed by both parties,
pledging themselves never to
have anything to do with each
other unless they chose. They
are to neither live, eat, nor
sleep together any more. J
tried to get that paper for pub
licatinn, but a bill of injunc
tion was filed against its being
made public. It is to be bop
ed that the matter is settled. A
great many hard things have
been said against both Mr.
Cochran and Mr. Smith. I
have always found them both
to be very clever men. But
if they are ten times meaner
than their enemies think they
are, still they are not half at
mean as the sneaks who have
trotted from one to the other
with the gossip that stirred
them up. Cochran and Smith
are saints beside the men that
toated them news.
I said last week “a member
of Hebron Church gave Rev.
G. H. Cartledge a gold watch.”
Whereas it was several mem

gave it to him.

Dr. 11. P. Quillian of Arp, at
tended the railroad meeting in

the meeting:

The people of Belton say that
they will bring the road half
way to us if we will finish it out
to uomer, and a better proposi
tion we will not get in a thou
sand years.
While the meeting and sub
scriptions were not what they
might have been, yet, the road
begins to look like a reality,
and we shall soon hear the
whistle blow.
Mr. T. B. Griffin grows poet
ic when he gets to talking
about Georgia, his poeti: state,
lie view's her sorter thusly;
“The ocean washes her feet.;
she holds the cotton belt iu her
lap, and her bosom is full of
gold dust.”

Lockhart of the Glades, in nail
county, has biea with him for

Mr. Henry Willbanks died
Tuesday night with heart dis
ease.
Now, as to the man that told
about the blackjack bushes be
ing broke out with measels;
now, there is a man in Banks,
who says when he was in Cali
fornia, that he, with three or
four others, was making an en
gine, when h mosqu o*s was
so bad tha ilu men* ook their
tools an 1 went inside of theen
gine, waen they discovered
that the musquitoes’ bills had
been forced through the engine
‘he boys decided to brad tlieir
bills inside and then they
would have it. But, to their sur
prise, the muquitoes got scar
ed and flew off with the engine,
to ls, men and all.
It these jokes bare any
weight, in reply to what has al
ready been printed, if the writ
er will come again, I will try
him another shot. Subscriber-
