BLACK DRAUGHT TEA Cures Constipation. Mr. Brooks lias fitted tip a nice office in his store room. The lattice work is very neat. That gentleman in Oglei horp county, who says lie will sub scribe SSOO to the railroad, will come to time. Go to J. W. Sumpter’s and buy the Improved Eureka Corn Dropper, Seed and Guano Dis tributor. It is a beauty and the handsomest tool made for the farm. MoELREE’S WINE of CARDUI for Weak Norvo, Mr. G. N. King of the Tri bune and Carnesville bar, was in town Tuesday, lie gave this office a pleasant call. Mr. King is just recovering from a spell of pneumonia. As will be seen the stock in the railroad, taken here Tues day was light. We attribute '.his to Belton. She made t mistake, it is thought, in not sending down her stated figures in the amount of stock she is going to take.

The most of type set in this office is done at night.

Mr. John Hill, sr., gave this office a pleasant call last week. Mr. Hill said he didn’t care how much they voted on the stock law. He has plenty of land te make pasture. But he feels for his neighbors, ue doesn’t like to see a man gobble up ev ery thing, because he jan. •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. Cownunic .led Weekly. [By Rev. T. O. Hours.] 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 dering if it would pay to try it again? Pr cached to even 42 at Mt. Pleasant Sunday at 11 o’clock. I knew the Andersons, and Wards, anl Cochrans, Sheri dans, Gil espies, and others would oe there before I left home, if they were able. J. E Hope is one of the most attentive members- But his childien were sick Sunday and therefore, he couldn’t come. I hardly know how to class the sermon—heard some com plaints of its ieug It. 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. Mrs. Mary Coker’s youngest son has measels and pneumo nia. J. W. Gillespie is the hand somest school teacher in the country. Th girl that gets John will make a good catch. Mr. Thompson has a good school at, Arp. They say he is a better teacher than his big bud. Mrs. Mary Parks died last Wednesday and was hurried at New Salem, Thursday. She had been a consistent member of the church all her life. Ben Parks made the parson age a pleasant visit Monday. Joe Slaton says I shant visit him until I swap off "Jumbo.” Rev. A. M. Rorie has the “Grip” at his home in Wilkes. Mrs. Ida D. Bush was in town Monday. j. A. Sheridan subscribed for the Journal the other day. John D. Hill, one of Homer’s worthy merchants, went to Athens, Monday. Vanny Hill is one of the most popular young men in Homer. 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 hers of the Homer church that gave it to him. Two or three little mistakes occurred in the paragraph con cerning the Wrights in last is sue. Mr. P. H. VVright is a very clever man, so far as I knew, but he is not a preacher. They own two sets of mills, in stead of two sets "mules,” as it. appeared. If mules came in sets, I suppose they have at least about ten sets of them Charlie Chambers is an ami able young man, and can’t bear to see anybody punished, es pecially children, and he man ages to get even with Prof. Alexander when he corrects them. The oilier day, afier the professor had applied the “rod” to some of the “young ideas” awhile, he went in seai ch of his dinner only to find that Charlie had eitea it up, egg-custard and all. W. J. Murry, from over on middle river, was in Hotner, shopping las; week. liouner has lliree merchants, and they are all fat and friend ly- We are living high at the parsonage this week. We killed our aarrow-guaged rail road hogs Monday. They were lour or live months old—had eaten four or live bushels ol corn, and the two together net ted 30 lbs. If you need provis ions come to the commisary department. There is a 36 inch stove in the Methodist church in Homer. Judge Hill says he loves to read my notes in the paper. Measels are a thing of the past in Homer. The lumber is at Mf. ideas ant ready to ceil the church. E. W. Coker has been very sick with pneumonia, but is much better. Dr. 11. P. Quillian of Arp, at tended the railroad meeting in llomer Tuesday. The following is a brief of the meeting: There were about 200 people in Homer, Tuesday to attend the railroad meeting. The fol lowing charter members of the company were prevent: M Buice, T. B. Griffin, C. R Fauikner, Robert Quillian, J. N. Coggins, M. B Carter, T. F. Hill, P. F. xM. Furr, and P. M. Elwards. The members call ed a private meeting at 12 m. On motion ofJ. N. Coggins, Robt. Quillian was elected chairman, pro tem, and P. M. Edwards secretary, i The charter was read and ac- cepted. (.tn motion < J. oritfiu M. Butce was ejected president of Ihe compand. L. N Dibble Ist. vice, and i F. Ilili 2nd. vice president, P F. M. Furr was elected trossu. er and P. M. Edwards secretrry. The following gentlemen ware elected to solicit subscrip tionstothe capital stock cf the road; T. B. Griffin, T. F. Hill, M. B. Carter. J. C. McConnell, and A. P. Watford. The chair appointed C. R. Faulkner, T. F. Hill, and P. M. Edwards, to draft by law 3 fur the government of the com pany, All the officers are to serve without salary the first year. Shares are fixed at SSO each. The charter can be seen at P. M. Edwards’ office. About 1 o’clock a public meeting was called in the court house. Pres. Buice called the meeting to order, and made a short speech, after which the charter was read by the secre tary. Col. Brown made a good speech and others made short, talks. The subscription list was then opened, and here ii the hopeful way it starts off: M. Buice, SSOO A. C. Moss, 209 P. M. E<l w*rds, 100 P. F. M. Furr, 100 J. N. Coggins, 250 Thos. Hayden, 100 T. B. Griffin, 100 T.F. Hill, 400 W. M. Bowling. 50 J. E. Strange, 209 Owen h. Chambers, 50 L. N.Turk, 250 W. T. Cochran, 100 J. E. Stephens, 50 Jnn. Barton, ICO 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.” The B. u. & C. is coming. Lot ’er roll. JDr. V. D. Lockhart is much better, nis brother, Dr. B. W. Lockhart of the Glades, in nail county, has biea with him for several days. 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- iv >. 4 -
