HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, GA., WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28, 1888.

The past few days have been
quite pleasant—with sunshine.
Mrs. L Cox and children visited
relatives at Mt. Ary last week,
Mrs. M. F. Morris is visiting roala
tives and friends in Atlanta.
Miss Carrie Riley of Mavsville,
is visiting Miss Minnie Henderson,
here this week
Mr. R. T. Sumpter of Harmony
Grave, spent a few days in town
this week.
Mr. Logan Perkins, one of Banks
energetic young farmers, is mak
ing preparations to go West
Farmers are m bright hopes of
having a wheat and oat season this
winter, if cold weather will do.
The last issue of the Gainesville
Eagle quoted cotton at 10 and |th
cents.
As yet nothing has been done in
preparing the academy or making
arrangements for a teacher.
Mr. W J. Lanmel and Miss Fan
nie Hooppaw were married at the
home of the bride last Sunday.
Both are of this county,
Mr. Ben, Parks of Oarnesville,
was in town one evenipg last. week.
Mr. Parks is a jolly lellow, and be
sides. a polished gentleman.
Homer’* family circles will have
some new additions soon in*the
residents of Mrs Perkins and Mrs.
Forbes. They are welcomed.
Rev Mr Dnneau has taken
charge of the Baptist Church here.
He delivered two sermon* —one
Saturday undone Sunday morning
The time is drawing near when
candidate* ought to have their
ticketß printed. They can put them
away until the proper lime for dis
tribution
Report is very flateriug concern
ing th# progress of the Bushville
Literary Club This society de
serves praise; its members are faith
ful to their duty.
Mr.W.T. Hix of Nails Creek, is
authorized agent to take subscrip
tions for the Banks County Observ
er. His rates will be as published
All subscriptions given Mr, Hix
will b# pronsp'ly filled.
Someßeemsto think there will
be one or two weddings around
here during the hollidayj If the
“May bees’* were in season, per
haps the writer would have some
thing to go on.
Within the past ra.mth quite a
number of Banks good citizens and
farmers have sold out and gone
West, with the view ot a better
country. Why not stay and im
prove their lands here? It takes
the price of a farm to move and
get built up in anew country.
Mr C. A. Turk authorizes the
Observer to say to the girls that
Leap Var is fastdrawingtoacloge
and they haven’t given him a refus
al yet, He says he would rather
let them propose, because they
could stand a refusal better than
he could.
The members of the Methodist
Church here, can’t tell whether
they will have a pastor next year.
When Rev. Mr. King goes to con
ference he can not report very fav
orable for the financial condition
of the Methodist church here. The
building is badly in need of repair
Mr. Echols of Harmony Grove,
wa9 here this week, prospecting for
a carriage factory. Homer needs
all the new enterprises she can get.
but in this line Mr. Sumpter is pre
pared to till her wants. Those who
go off and encourage opposition,
had better remember paying their
debts to the old firms first.
If those who have been taking
the Observer since it commenced,
and have moved away without pav
ing for it, had only notified the
publisher to stop their papers, that
they were going away,and intend
ed to beat him out of the time they
had taken it, he would have con
sidered it * favor; one of them has
the cheek to write from Texas say
inghe“wasa constant reader of
your paper and liked it,” etc., and
asks that ii be sent to his address
The publisher would rather send a
message t the good people in that
secton to “watch that fellow,” but
they will soon find him out. “A
bird never llies so far, but what its
tale is there, too.”
That “Poor” Candidate.
The candidate’s plea: “He is
poor.” The Observer is inclined
to believe like the old woman who
had a marriageable daughter The
girl had two lovers in the far West.
She received letters from them ev
ery now and then, in which was
the old stereotype phrase, “I love
you more than pen can tell!” By
and-by the girl concluded she did
not waat to die an old maid. The
usual letters came, but this time
witii something to interest the old
lady. The first oae went on to say
he had accumulated quite a for
tune. The second one went to say,
“You know my circumstances; I
am very poor.” The girl read the
letters to her mother, and asked
her which one must she accept?
The old lady dropped her head and
looked through her glasses awhile,
then said, “daughter, take the sec
ond one—a man has to be pretty
well off, before he will speak of his
poverty.” The old woman’s head
was level. If there is a thing under
the sun the world hates, it is pov-
erty; poverty will stay wi*h yon
when the world will leave you; if
will debar you from social ties; it
will debar you from true friend
ship; it will debar you from fami
ly ties; it will murder the essence
of true love; it will cau?e slander
to lloat over your hea 1 in all the
demon’s glory. Don’t ry to cor
rect it; it will be use - • If you
are poor don’t tell the “ - Id what
it knows. How man yo -rig men
have started in life an radc a mic
cess? Just ths who .ever lold
to the world, th. ■ U v ,idy know.
These fads at-jr ' > vtcled. J'he
Bible substanti <wv ;! at: “I hey
that have, shall hav .(tore; they
that have little, shah ave less.’
The Supreme Being finther ill us
trates these facts when Ho gave
out the pieces of money.
