We are living high at Ihe

The people of Homer are a
church going people, and they
turned out in mass Sunday,
and when they come to church
they listen to preaching, aad
when collections are taken they
give.
We preached to a good con
gregation at Alt. Pleasant, Sun

supported the cause of mis

Sister W. 1. Cochran is one

Within the last month, Mr.

A good lady in our commu
nity thinks it is a crime to
bring up childrenwithoul books
and papers lo read. She is
buying books for her’s constant

now people will be wondering
how came her children to be
blessed above common mor
tals.
What royal days we had Sat
urday and Sunday, and what
fine congregations at the
churches. Had a fine crowd at
Alt. Pleasant Saturday, and
preached what Bro. Sheridan
and Olliers thinks the best ser
mon we’ve ever preached on
the circuit.
Went to dinner with Brother
Cochran. He was full of his
jokes as usual, lie thinks Ho
mer is peculiar in that it has
wider streets and better water
than other towns, and especial
ly that it is full growm without
a railroad. I will admit that
its growth will be gradual with
out a railroad, but mark j t ou,
we are going to have the rail
road. Homer is a grod town
already, but she will be a gilt

A TRIP ALL ROUND BY
MAYSVILLE. ’
What I Saw and Heard and the
Impressious I Received.
Having an interest, and feel
ing an interest in the Journal,
I went to Alaysville the other
day in its interest.
The road from here to that
city is right across the country,
and is up and down all the way.
’Tvvas my first trip over there
since the burning, and as soon
as I could get Jumbo up fo a
post, I began to look in the di
rection of the burnt district.
Air. Watkins is building a
small frame house right in the
midst of ihe ashes.
I soon met Bro. Jenks Com
er, who is always cordial and
kind, and st. my friend Tom
Ash mi the store sleps Across
the railroad I met Tom Hend
erson, who’s cheerful face lain
always glad to see. About this
time a feeling of uneasiness
didn’t come over me particu
larly, but rather got next to me,
and the feeling led me to in
quire for Alaysville’s hotel, and
jto my surprise, the answer
came, she hasn't got-anv. I’mn
Benders n then began to di
rect. me to Dr. M. P. Alexand
er’s boarding house. I was
soon pulling the door bell. The
doctor coming to the door, had
every appearance to me of a
well fed gentleman.
As I sounded every name
the doctor’s suspicion seemed
to be aroused, and he sooner
toiled from me the fact that
I was a Methodist preacher, lie
excused himself from the room
and it turned out that only
thirty minute's notice was ne-j
cessary for the good lady of the
house to get the standard dish
of fried chicken ready. I will
hardly get another such dinner
in twelve months as I got that
day. I take the doctor and his
good wife to be as nije people
as there are in Maysville. The
doctor told me th it sweet pota
toes that are perfectly sound
are being plowed up in Mays
ville.
I went into Hie large and
well stocked store of our friend
Madden. Was sorry to learn
that he was sick in bed. Three
ofAlaysville’s merchants were
sick in bed that day with some
thing like a remnant of <->rip.
Finding (lie Methodist church
unlocked I walked in and look
ed through. It is a real nice
church ou side. I learn that
Mr. J. T. Comer has spent
SI,OOO on it.
1 called on Air. W. E. Ware
at the school house. The house
was literally packed with pu
pils.
There are five AI. D’s. in
Maysville.
Messrs. Wallace and Parks
had luck with the birds Wed
nesday.
Dr. O. 11. Buford is a band
some young man.
The Journal is gaining ground
in Maysville.
Mr. W. C. J. Garrison was
sick in bed. Mrs. Garrison is
as jolly as a cricket.
We made arrangement with
a good hand to send us news
items from Maysville every
week, so that we expect to get
belter acquainted with our
sprightly neighbor.
Cumiuuiiicatcd,
We are glad to hear from
out - friends in Alaysville, this
week. Two communications
from there appears in this is
sue, and another was expected.
Where the same item deeur in
two or thres communications,
it only appears in one:

There is a wild animal that
ha* been causing a good deal
of uneasiness among our good
ami Li w-a biding citizens. There
is a certain class of our good
people who seem to have no
fear of the ferocious animal.
They feed it and foudle.it, and
Ihe animal seems to be very
fond of teem, and strange to
say, its fondness is in propor
tion to (lie amount of shekels
that are deposited in its capa
cious maw. It is known as a
specie of the cat family and is
cal'ed a “Blind Tiger.”

SILVER SHOALS DOTS
And Dashes From Our Esteem
ed Correspondent.
Sunday school wasorga nized
here last Sunday eve. They
vili meet in afternoon at
o’clock. We hope the young
people will attend regularly,
as there is nothing like a good
Sabbath school.
Some of the girls have been
sick since the picnic. Nothing
serious only hear; disease. Sev
eral of the girls and boys went
to Bushviile last Sunday. They
report a good time. All of the
girls in the crowd fell in love
with a blue eyed young man
from Grove Level. We think
it would be a good idea lor him
to cora.e fishing at Silver Shoals.
We think he would have bet
ter luck than Mr. Charlie C lam
bers. lie has been there for
the past two weeks with his
hook bated, but no bite yet.
Charlie, you must hitch your
steers when you come to mill
and go to talking to the girls
You may find in the top of a
white oak sapling again.
Dr. Duckett likes to come to
mill. I think he likes brown
eyes, too.
We have no canals or chan
nels here, but a beautiful ever
green cape aud a lovely ebbing
tide.
Aliss Jennie Cape, one of
Gainesville’s beautiful belles,
will return t > her home to-mor
row, She will leave many sad
hearts behind. But she will
come back again when the flow
ers are in bloom. So, cheer up
sad heart!
Charlie says he is going to
Atlanta, but guess he will stop
at Gainesville.
I was invited to spend the
day at Air. Eiija Duckett’s last
Friday, and in company with a
friend we reached there safely.
I found all the family very
pleasant and affable, especisi
ly Miss Georgia, and the din
ner was splendid, and you can
imagine we did justice to it.
