O dinary lScautemsT The rains ot last week put the roads in a very bad condition. Business in Athens for this time of year, is not very brisk. Mr M C, Haulbrooks of Mays ville, was in town last week. Mr. Banks, representing the sta tionery house of Marshal & Bruce, Nashville, was in town Saiurday. Col. J. M Merritt, ’Squire Greene and Mr. M. Riley of Maysville, were iu Athens last week on legal business. * Tho past week has been on the winter style. The weather has been wet and cold, The 25th is Thanksgiving. The lurkev had better be looking fora hiding place. There is now on foot a move to have the mail route changed from Maysville to Lula. This will give a direct route to Atlanta, thereby HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, GA., WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 21, 1888. given you through mail direct from the cities in that section. The Hollidays aro here and the thoughts of a visit home is now be ginihg to haunt the absent ones. Maysville and llermony Grove aro certainly receiving their share of lotion Rev. Mr TANARUS, J.

If he had looked round he might have found several watch esthat needs repairs. Would it not be a good idea to have Homer incorporated? Elect a board ot council. Have by-laws of town ordinance; all tines be paid into the town treasury. This would put her streets in a better condition and tho town would present a better appearance, and be more respected, It is shameful to go of! and listen to outsiders be mean the place: Call it “coon-hol- low,” “two stores and a black smilhshop," etc. You that have property, how do you ever expect to make anything out of it, with out putting a stop to this? A petition can be easily gotten up and sent to Mr. Coggins, asking that town limits (any distance you may desire) of Horner bt incorpor ated. Homer is the county cite of Banks, and it does look like she ought to predominate in a more respectable manner over her neigh boring towns of - l coo n-hide-trade and trdli •” surroundings. Let the citizens go to work and prove to the stranger and t he world that Horner is the county cite of Banks and does respect iho honor conferred upon her in years past, aud will predominate over the coun ty as its leader.
