Our capitalists are often seen
grouped in ani under the awn
ing of Cox & Underwood's
Drug Store, and the burden of
their conversation seems to be
internal improvements; thuslv,
new school house, a canning
factory, a chair factory, etc.
So mole it be.
The Sunday schools at the
Baptist church in the morning
and the Presbyterian in the ev
ening, last Sabbath, were inter
esting. The attendance was
good. There are no better re
commendations for a town than
cburdi-going people and live
Sunday-schools.
Would it not be well for the
city council to consider the re
moval of the old guano houses
at their next meeting? Their
removal would be a great im
provement to the looks of the
town —not speaking of the dan
ger they invite to fire from pass
iog trains.
Mr. G. T. Bacon is one of our
most public spirited men. He
talks for improvements, manu
facturing enterprises, etc., and

next to Maysville. He is a pub
he spirited citizen, and we can
not spare him.

Master Willie Brown takes
the Journal around to its sub
scribers to-day, and will do so
every Thursday. Those wish
ing to subscribe can put their
names on his book. Ramem
ber this is not a tair specimen
sheet. The Journal will 6peak
for itself in the future. It ex
pects opposition and will wait
for its appearance.
Those having friends visiting
them, or going off, will greatly
favor this office by sending in
their names. It is the desire of
the Journal to run a personal
col. The town is large enough.
It will also favor if any
one having relatives or friends
gone West, will seal in their
address to this office.
Remember the place, up
stairs in the Atkins’ building.
John Anderson died of con
sumption Sunday morning at
his home in Jackson county,
two miles from Maysville. He
leaves a wife and three cliil
dren. Mr. Anderson was a
young man. He was also com

ing recently moved in trom the
mouatain counties of this stale.
It is said that he has some rel
atives living in this county.
Rev. T. O. Rorie of Homer,
gav) this office a pleasant call
this morning. Bro. Rorie has
newspaper fever.
The young people had piite
an enjoyable sociable at the res
idence of Mr. W. J. Comer’s

Franklin, N. C., her home, af
ter a visit of several weeks to

One of Mr. I. A. Madden’s

Subscriptions are being tak
en up to build a High School
here, already over $5OO dol
lars have been subscribed. It
will be called The Maysville
Male and Female Academy.
The incorporators and trustees
propose to employ experienced
and qualified teachers, locate
them permanently. They pro
pose to class all grades ot stud
ies at $ 1 per month. The fund
required to erect a suitable
building is lorated at $l5OO or
$2,000. Everybody help to push
the good work.
Citizens who have lived here
for years give it as their hon
est opinion that the town is on
a boom. Maysville has the fa
cilities her citizens will push
them. She is surreunded by a
good farming section. Her
trade extends in Banks, Jack
son and Hall. She hai good
railroad facilities. Her mer
chants can compete with any
other town in northeast Geor
gia in selling goods. Thoy car
rv large and choice slocks.
This is also a big Guano mar
ket. The dealers sold out over
a month past. However, if
Comer Bros.’ new grade of their
own make turns out satisfacto
| rv, next spring will be a boom
' ing time with the farmers in
low prices.

Weekly Journal has taken its
flight. * Editor Barton
sighed for the railroad. The
magic sound of the whistle on
the Northeastern lured him
away, * and Maysville
captured him. A good, ener

Yes, he refused to longer re
main where the sound of the
whistle is never heard. It
would be well for others to
decide likewise.
Athens, April 28.—Over a
year ago, one night as the Geor
gia train pulled in the city
with its car loads of passengers,
the pilot of the engine lifted a
large beam from off the trestle
which spans the Oconee, and
thus saved a wreck and loss of
life and property. The party
who did the murderous deed
was not spotted at that time,
and after fruitless efforts, search
tor the guilty wretch was aban
doned. A short while since an
other attempt was made to do
the same thing, and the rail
road authorities put a detec
tive on the track of the villian
ous train wrecker. Mr. B. O.
W. Rose did his work most af
fectively, and to day brought
Tom Bunch, a young mulatto,
into court, and charged him
with that heinous crime. Bunch
has confessed two attempts io
wreck the train to a negro
friend, who is to testify against
him. The people are stirred
up over the matter and wish
the courts of justice to give
| him the limit of the law’s pun.
