Prof. Hicks’ school atMaysville, closed last Friday. Miss Manolia Garrison visited relatives and friends in Salem last week. The Salem picnic last Saturday, it is understood, was a pleasant af fair and largely atttended, Homer needs a Sunday evening prayermeeting. Some of the citi zens should organize one. New subscribers are coming in rapidly. The Observer is j ust now begining to be interesting. In readiug thw <-xouaog*B it will b* seen tiuips ate dull everywhere, and people are at vroik. • Blackberries are ripening. Ere the cat-bird will make his appear ance they will have come and gone. It would be well to say there is no colonels in Homer, The fes tive candidate will remembes this. Mr. Richard Kelley has been se riously ill during the past week. But we are glad to learn that he is improving. tr The church and Sunday-school meetings throughout the county are becoming interesting. Xoung and old are turning out more regular. Mr. P. M Edwards has been confin ep to his room for several days with an attack of lumbago. He is improv ing. Allen G, Thurman of Ohio, re ceived the nomination for Vice- President. His nomination seems to give general satisfaction. Indi ana has had the honor heretofore, So far ae schools and churches, and Sunday schools are concerned, and social advantages, Homer is one of the livest little towns in Georgia, Mr. ha Hill, and Mies Fannie Bump ter were elected to represent the Bap tist Sunday School as speakers in the Snnday School Celebration which is to convene at Homer on the sth Sat urday in July. Good selections. The picnic at Grove Level last Saturday was a pleasant affair. The dinner can not bo surpassed by any of th j season. Avery good attendance were present. All seem to enjoy themselves. Mr. T. D. Cartledge, a indent of the 'l feolog cal S* minarv at 0 duw'.ia, 8. C., is at home wiib hi* parents and friends during ▼acation. H preached at the Presbyterian Church last Sun day. Candid lies in other counties are fill ing the columns of their county papers with their announcements.

B Mason. Now lilt the mallet high, boy, Strike it like a man; Never mind ymr raaiblis, Laboi while you can. See the rift grows wide, boy, Deeper sinks the wedge. ** Uncle Adam has taken reluc tant leave of his truck patch, and has hied himself to the public sqtiare, and the cooling waters of the public well. And now the cuckleburr groweth unbidden a mong the zigzag bean-poles, and the hoe, with its sun-burned and toil-blistered handle, lieth dor mant ’neath the chicken house. It is encouraging to any new en terprise to receive the support and encouragement of the best people' of the county, and the Observer fully appreciates the many kind words spoken in its behalf, as well as the universal disposition among the leading men of the county to subscribe for it. Look here;—Burlin is alive; they organized a singing society last Sabbath, after which they had some of the finest music of church style. That is the right direction. Burlin, go on—everybody that wants to hear good music, go to Burlin—they meet the first Sab bath evening and third Sabbath morning. Spectator. Th Board of Education were in sea si on again last week, and we learn they left the school book question an settled. Agents of the leadirrg pub lishers were here representing their re speotive honses, but the question, it seem*, still remains unsettled as to part of the books. We hoped that the question had been finally settled sever al months’ ago, by the adoption ot Appleton’s series of readers, arithme tics, grammars, etc., nd in pursuance of that decision a great mauy of the chi z<'Dß of thec< unty exchanged their ol 1 books, and bought new on* a at the in tro-Juctory prices. Wo do uot tbit.k •hat all ol the bocks adopted we.e the v erv best; yet the board did what they thought best for the county, and now, or the fake of bamiopy, o tvoid frio •ion in our schools and among me peo plo, we 6ay let the decision stand. From general indications it looks like Homer is to enjoy Well, it won’t do to say more than let “the good work proceed.” “What can’t be stopped must be endured.” Some poor fellow will have the lit tle end of the horn to hold. A ghost never told this—no it never, but a little bird—and that meddlesome They say this little busy-body nev er tells stories. Boys, stand oil— look wise and chew the end of your finger—remember the fair can not stay with you always—“lt is better to forget, than remember with re gret,” and hum that miserable tune “Only a panzy blossom —only a faded flower.” A Scrub Race. The writer has been talking to a number of Banks good and influential citizens, and good democrats, pertaining to the race for representative. They believe iu turning all who wish to come in the field loose, and Jet the general election terminate the man. They believe the majority of voters arc opposed to a convention or prima ry, They think that should a nom ination be made, the party will not abide by it. Lot all run who wish and the people will center on the right man, They say they are tir ed of being dictated to by a few. They do not want the stock law, nor the prohibition questions made an issue; but they do want Jo, Brown's betterments in the W. & A. Railroad put into shape. / ■■ A Comma, a leafed.
