A certain “je w” in our midsl was getting ousted, when l of the company said, “That fellow would object to a front seat in Ileaven.” We are living high at Ihe parsonage this week. We’ve killed another hog. and Sister Coker and Sister Lucy Hill fur nished the potatoes. 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 day afternoon. Bro. Cochran supported the cause of mis sions on litis round. Sister W. 1. Cochran is one of the best friends the parson age has. Within the last month, Mr. John Hill, Sr., has had the mis fortune to lose two good milk cows. Their disease bailies the old gentleman. The only theory that he can give, is that they were poisoned by some sort of wild weed. Sunday evening the young folks gathered at Dr. Lock hart’s residence for a singing. Mr. Al. Borders led oIF and per formed on the organ. The Gos pel hymns selected were plead ing and filled for the day. All present were mu Hi revived. The selections, si aging and music were good. The sturdy oak on the corn er to the right of the postoffice, came to is ending last week, j It fain would go without bring jng its old comrade, the mul berry along. Those two have stood the sunshine and storm of many a summer and wilder- The boys will now have to hunt the shade of a hay stack to play croquet. Wo organized a Sunday, j school Sunday with sixty-seven j on roll. P. M. Edwards was elected Superintendent, Jno. Barton, Assistant; J. T. Har mon. Secretary; Miss Fannie Sumpter, Treasurer. Sunday-school at the Baptist and Presbyterian churches ev-i ery Sunday morning, and at the Methodist church every Sun day at 34 o’clock. 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 ly, and they take live newspa pers besides. Ten years from 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 edge city with a railroad, 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: Maysville, April S.—La Gripe —grip—colds—bad colds. Every one nearly, afflicted as above. Farmers are at work, conse quently our merchants com plain of a dull trade. Mr. William Lyle is very sick at this writing. Mr. ALit.

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.” Warsaw. 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. E.P. \ - , • 4 4*\ J.V , -f s■%
