HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, GA., WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28, 1888. Homer String Band furnished some fine music last Saturday eve. 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.
