or Journal;—Dear friend, I arriv
ed here yesterday eve, and will be
gin a six weeks special course at
the aboyo school this moraing.
Pleaese address your paper to me
at Post Graduate Medical School,
Ns. 226, East 20ta Street, and
oblige yours L. J. Sharp.
as will be seen from the above,
Dr. Sharp of Harmony Grove is in
New York City undergoing a spe
cial course of medicine.
There is talk of another slore be
ing started up here this fall. Some
business ciu be done here. Homer
don’t need a merchant that has to
tun away from a railroad, It that
merchant can’t hold his own with
his brothers at a railroad station, he is
pretty sorry and there is do badness
ia him that will do any other commu
nity much good.
It was the pleasure of Mr. Idas
Bowden and the writer to pay Col. John
Hill a call Sunday evening, nothing
mors pleasant than being in the pres
euce of the old folks. In their words
are wisdom. The young head will al
wfiys find food for thought. Soma
may think when the old become feeble
they are but children. Not so; then
and there the past life is portrayed in
to one great channel of thought, and
if you study well yon will find some
thing grand and sublime in what the
veterans have to say.
As we walked out one evening
last week, we met an old hen and
her chicks going for tiie woods.
We ask her how long she expected
to remain. She said until Presby

him where lie was going. lie said
he was going down the country un- j
til Presbytery was over. Vf e came.
back by on i of the grave yards and
met Col. ; we ask him what
he meant coming from the tomb.
He said, Well, I’m bothered. I have
been laying here a number of years.
I saw you *nd arise to tell you to
tell them Presbyterian brethren to
keep trffrn my grave. It is u uis
grace to my posterity.
Walter McKie was placed in jail
Wednesday of last week, charged
with s':? Ring seme goods fr the
house of Henry Green, near Mays •
ville, Mr, Green was absent from
home at the time, and it is thought
that sjc negro, IvicMie. inlen’e lto
o ,tr.-..e ihe person of .Mrs. ( row ..
or pro iably kill her and cr y our
such . Mention upon other mem
bers of tL. family, from the fact
that an a;: was found standing at
the bed. But Mrs, Green and the
family had luckily gone to a
neighbor's house to spend the
night. The prints of his hands
were found upon the bed, and sev
eral matches were found lyiug on
the floor, which had been struck.
This, itself, is proof the negroe in
tended rape and wanted to see iiis
victim before he made the assault.
Whoever heard of a negro wanting
a light to steal by?
Miss Anderson of South Carolina,
was visiting Mrs. Green, and both
were in the yard that evening as
McKie went by, and he stared at
Miss Anderson as far as he couid
keep in sight.

The Sunday-school Celebration
held at New Salem last Saturday,
was largely attended; the schools
were well represented. The ad
dress by Mr. Hubert Estes was one
ol the best we ever listened to/ he
will certainly climb the ladder of
fame and reach its topmost round,
if he Jives—Mr. Joe Gunnells, jr.,
has a fine school at New Salem
Academy.—The Barber band of
Harmony Grove was out Saturday.
We think they bid fair to be the
finest musicians in the state; f lie
music was splendid. —a certain
young school teacher says there
will be a marriage in Ihe neighbor
hood of New Salem ere another six
months rolls on. We wonder who
the parties are, but guess it will be
Wright, nevertheless; that’s the
way the world goes.—Misses Richie
Duke and Renna Thompson, two
of Jefferson’s most bewitching and
beautiful belles, have been spend
ing some time with Miss Alia Pru
itt. The tea party given in their
honor at the residence ot Col. J • W.
Pruitt’s last Saturday eve, was
largely attended and enjoyed by
all, especially Miss Lizzie Wood
and Gip Stark. MisaW oodisbe.au

a good crop was never better.—
The protracted meeting will begin
at Webb's Creek church next Fri

by Rev. Mr. Goode of Toccoa.—
