Mr. Idus Bowden closed his school his school here Friday.
Mr. Bowden has made the people of Homer an excellent teacher, and it
is a mistake with them that they do not have the academy repaired and continue
their school throughout the winter season.
Mr. Bales, who was charged with stealing one of Mr. J. K.
Thompson's oxen last fall, and committed to jail to await the action of the
superior court, but gave bond for his appearance, with Mr. J.E. Strange as
security, was brought back from Alabama, Sunday, where he had gone to escape
the law. (Related article under Legal Documents section)
At the Presbyterian services Sunday morning, Mr. O.H. Chambers
and wife were admitted to the church, after which their child, Mr. J. J. Turk's
child, Mr. Jo. Telford's child, Mr. Jim Richie's child, were baptized.
Mr. Cartledge preached an interesting sermon.
The congregation was large.
Canker sores of every description, whether in the mouth,
throat or stomach,are expelled from the system by the use of Ayer's Sarsparilla.
No other remedy can compare with this as a cure for all diseases originating
in impure or impoverished blood.
Saturday evening Mr. W.V. Presley entrapped 120 fish in his
basket, and caught four with his line and hook. We supposed the law in this was like a great many other states-the
catching of fish in baskets, nets etc. was prohibited. It should be.
