Old Bo reas may howl his western song of chiliness in Luna’s beaiiful red and golden hues, but her fair face will shine as bright and pleasant as of a summer’s dewey eve, “It is worth iu weigut in gold,” is a commou expretsiou. But, while the valuj cf gold is easily affected, the worth of Ayer’s Sirsaparilla, as a blood purifier, never depreciates, it will eraditate scrofula from the system when everything else will fail. It seems as though Atlanta is trying to imitate Birmingham in murders and deaths—only last week a twelve year-old negro boy killed one fourteen years eld, while two or three suicides were com mitted. In this issue appears the law card of Mr. Oscar Brown of Law renceville. Mr. B:own comes to Homer to practice his profession, and will associate his practice with the local and leading bars in all the courts of Banks and adjoining counties. The Journal bespeaks for Mr Brown a liberal patronage. Rev, Mr. Rorie preached at the M. E. church Sunday night to a small but interesting congregation. The night was very cold, and the church is without a stove. As the pastorsaid,‘‘A man can’t get re ligion with cold feet.” Notice to Soldier*.

McElr-c’t WINE OF CARDUI for female diseases. Comtaunicaied, Honest labor lends a dignity to the character of the man that noth ing else can supply. Some people have a loolish notion that if they labor for a living, they net entitled te rank with first class society. They should dismiss such thoughts at once and for ever. True manhood will bo respect td anywhere, and the honest laborer has the very first claim to respectabili ty. Nature’s true noblemen are labor ers. The backbone of all our glory as a state rests with tho laboring class. The soldier, politician, the profession al man and the merchant are classes of men necessary to the well, being of the state, but they are all dependent upon the laborer. Lift up your heads ye toilers of earth and assert ybur manhood! If you do not aspire to wear fine clothes you may be clean and deoest, and honest and respeot able. And these qualities will carry you ap in the world aad place yon in high positions, whea the soft skineed and tender mcsled dades around you are all forgotten. L. McELREE’S WINE OF CARDUI for Weak Nerves. Roads and Railroads. You often hear people lament ing the fact that “we have no rail road” through our county. A railroad is a good thing, es pecially so for the town people. It is a great developer. But, look at it in another light. A railroad runs straight through from point to point. It does not reach the country at last. Even along the I line of a railroad, where the smoke of the engine is nearly always to be seen, and where tho vour and rat tle of (he world’s pa hug com merce disturbs the dreams of the farmer, he may be quite <ii.-:?Hnt from market. He must depend up on tho good firm wagon road to bear the burden of his fraighfctintil it roaches the station- Ho can not get to market with any degree of comfort, or even with perfect safe ty, unless a good wagon road leads there. People in the country will spend thousands improving 1 heir buiilings aad farms, and negie< r. their roads. And, it may be Asili;- fuliy said that a man is near enough to a railroad if he can drive to one and back in a day. But he can never prosper if he has to hik-h up three or four mules to puli a two-horse load. If his way*to mar ketis obstructed by deep mud holes and dangerous gullies, he will always have poor mules and poor wagons and make slow pro gress. Now-, that you have good bridges and good sign-boards to mark the way, try and have good roads ** BarBLACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation. Four Months Fra Schools for 1889. Atlanta, Jsn.29. :lon. J. S. Hook the state tcboul commUdoaor, has been asked by eounty i-.ahool commis sioners over the state for feis opinion in reference to tho probable sahool term, js important' in making con tracts with teacher. Jndgo Hook ad vises that these contracts be made for four months' school, with the condi tion that the pay must come oat of the public school fund, whatever that may be. Ha says: “1 can not but think if he does not find money enough to pay for the foar months' term, it will come as near per* haps, in paying oat that term as it has hereto.ore in paying the three months’ term ’’ With the customary supplement to tho teachers’ psy m?.de b , the fußd will rffice for a four months’ term, but it can be made absolutely free for three months, not heretofore the case. The following is the estimate made in the stats commissioner’s office of school Inna for 1889. Poll tax $185,000 From old sources 830,000 New appropriation 165,000 The above makes a total of 680,900 dollars. The average attendance ac cording to. the estimate, will be 226,- 200 dollars, giving a triffie over 3 dol lars per capita. And it is eonfidently expected that the provision ot the leg ieiatore appropriating the whole tax cn the 360,000,000 dollars of taxable will largely increase the school fund, but it is questioned whether it would he practically avail able for the present year. ear-WINE OF CARDUI, a Tonic for Women.
