Some (elect music was rendered at Mrs. Stephens Monday night. narWINE OF CARDUI, a Tonic for Women. The weather is now seemingly on a change; a heavy, foggy, blue cast now fills the atmosphere, Fishing tackle is now being gath ered up. The finny tribe will now find bate at their life's sacrifice. v ery little guano has been pur chased by farmers of this county, this year. There will be preaching at the Methodist Church next Sunday and Sunday night. Farmers are turning their atten tion lo home-made manures. This is a step in the right direction of prosperity. MeElre’ WINE OF CARDUI for female diseases. “May it please the court and gen tlemen of the jury,” will fall upon your ears in silvery cadence next week. The docket is not large. A meeting of the County Farm ers’ Alliance is called for next Tu esday. The presence of the full membership is desired. W. F. Hill. Secretary. Mr, Gilmer of Hall county, is here for the purpose of teachiag all who may wish to study the art of cutting systematically—there by aaving time and a waste of cloth. Stick up to your town; stick up to your neighbors; stick up to your principles—if you have any—and above all stick up to your county paper. *** Try BLACK-DRAUGHT tea for Dyapepaia. Mr. Armour Ruoker, an old citi zen ef this county, died at his home Monday night. He was highly re spected by all who knew him, as an honest, industrious man. He had been much addicted for sever al years. As court will be in session next week, citizens see that your ceme tery, church nd school house re ceive more respect than they did last court.

At first there wore not more than two or three, but tney have multiplied so rapidly that they now chase each other in drov es and light on sidewalks and buildings, and along fences, They are said to be a pest. Cabbage and oth er varieties of garden seeds will be oflered for salo during court week. T. R. Zachary & Son of Cashiers, N. C. A well selected stock of seeds thoroughly climatized and adapted to this section. A certain officer one day this week arrested a negro with an old flint-lock, unloaded musket. It is said it was amusing to notice the white of the negro’s eyes, as he rolled them with surprise, when the officer approached him with a warrant for his arrest, charging him with bastardy. Now, if he could have looked downiu the bar rel of Tecumbse, he might have challenged the officer to a footrace. Judge Moss’s little dog, Fiddie. is dead—peace to his ashes. No deadly disease arrested Fid in his mortal career; no highwayman rushed suddenly upon him, but, like Tray, in the blue back speller, he came to his end as a result ot being found in bad company. He was bitten by a dog supposed to be rabbid, and his kiod master had him killed to prevent the terrible dis*eae of hydrophobia from spread ing. Tak# Aycr’i Ssrsaparilla, in the spring of tbo ysr to porify the blood, it invigorate* the system, excite the liver to ue'ion, and restore* healthy tone and vigor to the whole physical mechanism. Remermer that quality, not quantity, constitutes the value of medicine Two-Forty speaks on the incor porating of Homer, and the Jour-, nal believes, the move is in the ■ right direction. If it don’t improve ! the town, it can’t possibly injure it. Some find objeciion on account of some inclosed streets. If business demanded these streets would have to be opened whether the town was incorporated or not, and it is not likely incorporation will interfere with their inclosures just now. (!<iMannicaid. Incorporation of Homer. There has been some talk late ly of reviving the defunct incorper atiou of H mer, There could be no valid objeciion to the town being incorporated, and if we need it, why not attend to it at once? Let us see! In the hinds ef a good set ! 0 f town officers our streets couid be Educational. Agricultural And Mining New- worked and improved; the public square fenced; the sidewalks pre lected; violators of the law punish ed. As it is people ride int*> t f, wn, hitch their horses to fences an 1 rn the sidewalks, and otherwise im pose upon ihe property of citizens. Many cases of misdemeanor g-; utt punshed because there is no mu nicipal authorily to bring the t>l fenders to justice. Again, urider oor present system, the citizens of the town are required to work two roads two and three miles in the country, while our streets rrceivo ao more than ordinary atteation as public roads. By placing all the hands inside the corporation on our town roads, thoy could be kept ,in much finer condition without ex tra work. Last, but most import ant of all, a public school could bo maintained by the corporation that would add thousands of dollars an nually to the trade ot our town, and lift us up out ef the old ruts tad place us oa the highway of re speotibility and prosperity. 2:40.
