Prof. J. li. Walker of Harmony
Grove High School, in company
with Dr. Lockhart, gave the Jour
nal a pleasant call Saturday. Prof.
Walker came over to solicit pa
; Irons for his school which, will op

this institute may prove a success
1 in securing a number from this sec
tion of country.
It is understood the Richmond
ck Danville has a bill before the leg

Belton via Homer and Carnesville,
thence to intersect at Elberton.
Let the good work go on and
bring this section out oflhe “coon

lacking intersection for develope
ment with outer markets.
The sermon Monday night at the
Presbyterian church by Rev. S. J.
i Cartledge, was interesting and
j touching. Mr. Ca;l ledge selected
j his sermon from St Luke, 2nd
i chapter, last clause 7th verse; “Be
cause there was r.o room for them
in the inn.” The argument to car
ry the point of illustration for the
love of fesus was befitting, and
commends a high feeling for the
young divine.

Editors Journal: —We have just
enjoyed a Mno sit ppr.g school at Grove
Creek church in this county, tar,giit by
Prof. H . F. Cash. The professor is a
fine teacher. He w/itca more diagrams,
and gives 'he plainest instruction.
Tuesday afternoon quite a crowd
gathered to the court house if* wit
ness the hymeneal of Mr. Davis and
Miss Nichalson of Jackson county,
’Squire Ash officiated and die boys
say the ’squire smiled his Lest. The
parties, it seems, had eloped and
left the old folk napping.
Some of the boys are trying to
run Judge Hill on issuing the li
cense. Now, there is no use frying
to baffle the judge's feelings in a
case of this kind. If Mr. Davis ev
er becomes a citizen of Hanks, he
will know, though he had a risk in
bringing his best girl across the
hills, there is a Hill among them
that lie must vote for. And, while
being frightened at the bark or
othernlead twigs that may have de
scended on his head while coming
through the ash fores:, yet there is
an Ash among them that he is un
der life long obligations.
If the public well was so arrang
ed as to have a separate place for
the blacks to drink, it would be a
great improvement. The embar
rassing position ot ihe young man
bringing his lady-escort during
.Presbytery to the public park for
a drink of the coldest and purest
water in northeast Georgia, just af
ter the burly mulatto or black ne
gro had drank from the same water
in ihe same bucket and with the
same dipper put between his thick
and greasy lips, has only to be seen
to be sickening and most disgust
ing to the minutest spark of Cauca
sian blood and refinement. The
parents of Links county do not
pay taxes to force their sons and
daughters to drink water with the
negro, and the Journal believes
the matter of ihe public well in
the public park has been an over
sight on the part of the citizens and
otlicers of Ihe county in not eon
demning it ere it ever found place
iu these columns.

cians back to hia home, where he died
in a tew hours. The deceased leaves
