Mr Dan. Alexander, son-in-law
of Mr. Wm. Rile©, near Maysvilie,
attempted suicide last week by tak
ing ten drops of strychnine. Med
ical aid was sent for, and at last re
ports, he was doing as well as could
be expected. No cause is given for
the rash act.
We believe that there will now
be a uuited effort to establish a
good school in Homer All we need
is a united and determined effort
and the thing is done. Homer pos
sesses unusal advantages iu point
of location, healthfulness, morals,
cheapnesi of living, and in fact,
there is nothing in the world to bin
der us from having a good school
By all means have it.
‘•The North Georgian.”
We are in receipt of a copy of
the North Georgian published at
Homer, Hecember 1, 1883, by M*.
J. W, Sumpter. The paper is a
six-column folio, with patent out
side, and is neatly printed. Bur
ing the life of the North Georgian
there was no business done in Ho
mer. At least there is ho advertise
ments t® show it. But one mer
chant appears, that of J. T. Garris
on, If you want people to come
to see you, you must tell them
where you live If you want to do
business, j'ou must advertise.

A gentleman said to us the oth
er day, finding we were ot Homer,
but not knowing we were publish
ing tha Journal (and wa never did
tell him who we were, nor did he
ask): ‘T see your little town has a
paper, and I had almost forgotten
the place; but I would like to see
Hamer build up.” Just think ot
this. Doubtless he had seen a copy
of tha Journal with some of his
neighbors. Yet some w raid have
you believe a paper does no good
in building up a town aad keeping
its name before the public. All
public spirited men would like to
stick their foot under the coat-tails
of such apron-strings. Their place
is at home. The public lias no use
for them. If their presence can be
endured at home, it is a great bless
ing to the progressive public-
Cenmunjuaied.
