Tbmpbrancb. —A new organization of the

Buicidb. —We regret to be called upoff to report
tho death of Mr. Gilbert Clarke, of this county,
on Saturday morning last, by his own hand. It
had been observed by his intimate associates for
some time that he was depressed in spirits, yet
this was not to an extent sufficient to excite seri
ous apprehensions. He arose about 4a. m., Sat
urday, as usual, and went out. An hour after
wards he was found suspended from a limb in the
yard with a plow line he had been using—his body
yet warm but life extinct. Mr. Clarke was in good
circumstances, and no cause, either of a pecuniary
or domestic nature, has been assigned as having
lflnuenced his action.

attack t 1 consumption several months, and leaves
an infant child four weeks old to solace a mourn
ing and loving husband.

Pkudnnt amd Thoughtful.—A few days since
the prudence of Rev. T. G. Scott, Principal of
Hilliard Institute, and Mr. Anderson, undoubt
edly prevented the occurrence of an accident on
the railroad, similar to that by which engineer
Fleck lost bis lift. On their way from the Insti
tute they discovered a rail broken and misplSced,
and Immediately diepatched one of the scholars to
the depot, to give warning. Mr. R. P. Trippe,
Jr., Mr. Lake’s assistant, at once sent a mes
senger up the road to stop the train he knew was
nearly duo from above. This train was halted
barely in time. On examination a rail was found
broken in two, and about six feet off one end
thrown across the track. The prudence of these
asen is commendable, and deserves an aeknowl
edgtneut from the company.
A St move Josh.— During the past week a party
of boys—white and colored —from ten to fifteen
years of age, attempted to perpetrate a joke on an
old negro, from which the joker* werejthe suffer
ers. The crowd of jroungsters, numbering nearly
a score, were on a frolic, and among other places
visited the domicil of sn old XYth oa the farm of
Mr. William Bowdoio, and serenated him in good
style with all the old horns, belle, etc., that coaid
be secured. Finally they entered the house,
when they were greeted with two loads of shot,
from a doabble-bamri, fired by a visiting negro,
wbo had a loaded weapon, and veritable
Ku klnx were after him. Nine of the party left
the field, bearing evidences that somebody was
hart—some of them ik seriously that the services
of Dr. Harrison were quickly secured. This af
fair should serve as a warning to youngsters gen
erally.
Anothsk Fatal Accident.— On Friday morn
ing last another fatal accident occurred ou the
Macou and Western Railroad, which resulted in
the death of the engineer, Mr. Fleck. About three
miles below Barnesville his engine was thrown
from the track by a broken rail. Mr. Fleck, we
have been Informed, jumped from the engine as
soon as it left the track, and was crushed by a car.
have not heard of any other personal injury
having been sustained.
In this connection we tnay state that the engi
neer of the passenger train which arrived at For
syth on time at 6:04 Friday morning, reported
here that he made s narrow escape from being
thrown off at the tame point, and that he believed
there was a roll broken there. If this was his
opinion—which was undoubtedly expressed before
any knowledge of the accident was obtained at
Forsyth—a pertinent Inquiry is, why was not the
first train stopped, and warning given to the train
following. The fatal result of the accident should
tndaoe Investigation by the railroad official#
The Sabbath.— The usual services were beU on
Sunday morning in the Methodist church by the
paster. His discourse was founded upon the
119ih Psalm, 126 v.: “It is time for Thee, Lord, to
work; for they have made void Thy law.”
The speaker said: “ God is the King of all the
earth and of the universe. As such He has His
code of laws, which all His Intelligent creatures
are bound to keep.” See the ten commandments,
Ex. xx. “ The Lord is our Law-Giver, the Lord
is our King." Isa. xxxiii, 22. This law is per
fect, holy, just and good. “It is a lamp to our
feet.” “ They (the wicked) have made void Thy
law.” To make void means to violate—to trans
gress—to set aside. To do this is a very great
offense against our Law-Giver and King. They
made void the law of holiness, of parity, the law
of Justice and honesty, the law ol truth, which
rtquirea “ every man to 6peak truth with his
neighbor." They set aside the law of temperance,
and transgressed the law forbidding profanity.
After enlarging to some extent upon the above
points, the speaker made the application to his
congregation by way of inquiry, as to whether
any of them had thus made void the law of God,
as the wicked did in the days of the Psalmist. If
ao it might still be said, “ It Is time for Thee,
Lord, to work; for they have made void Thy law.”
God does work in His own time; first in grace and
mercy for the purpose of saving the transgressor.
If He fails to accomplish this object, by the refusal
of the sinner to repent and obey this law, then He
works in judgment and destroys his enemies. At
this point he referred to tLe Flood, Sodom, Nine
vah, Babylon, Jerusalem, etc.
The Baptist church was well filled, morning and
evening—Rev. Dr. Hlllyer filling the pnlpit. In
the morning be closed hia series of discourses
on The Cbureh, which have been able, suggestive,
instructive throughout, and were listened to with
increasing interest from Sabbath to Sabbath. At
3 P. m a Conference Seseioti was held.
At night Dr. H. preached from St. John ix. 4:
“I must work the works ofH.na that sent me,
while It Is called day ; the night cometh when no
man can work.” The declaration of the sacred
writer was presented to the congregation in the
usual Zealous and earnest manucr of the speaker.
Valentin* Day. —This anniversary is near at
hand—occurs on Friday next. But it is a lament
able fact that no depot for the usual missives has
been established in Forsyth, that we are aware of.
The “ Lads and Lassies” will regret this, but they
can resort to original documents to supply their
needs. A hearty greeting on plain foolscap will
serve every purpose. The saint of the day—Cu
pid—is said to be blind. Remember thia, and do
not fear to use the best appliance at hand.
St. Valentine was a priest in the early church,
who suflered martyrdom in the third century by
being beaten with clubs, and afterwards beheaded.
The peculiar custom which pertains to his day is
supposed to have originated with the Romans,
who celebrated about this time the feasts of Pan
and Juno, on which occasion it was customary
for the youug men and maidens to choos compan
ions for the year. A contemporary says this prac
tice was handed down to prosperity— meaning
posterity, we presume.—and Valentine’s Day was
formerly a Joyous occasion in England and Scot
land. Then the lover, instead of sending fancy
paper with words and gilded cupids, went him
self, and he who should first gain the glance of a
fair maiden on Valentine’s morn was her ,V a l en *
tine for the year. It our readers will turn to
Scott’s Fair Maid of Perth, they will find an
incident related there founded upon this custom.
Later, when writing became more general among
all classes, and finally, when printing became
cheap and popular, the ancient customs were
pretty much abolished, and Valeutinea became
the fashion.
Thh Judgeship.— The Thomaston Herald and
Griffin New* are wrestling over the Judgeship,
with as much earnestness as they could possibly
exhibit, if Flint Circuit was lost. The Herald
thinks there “ would have been croakers If Bailey,
Boynton, Doyal, or Speer, had been appointed ;
that If the whole crowd had been appointed some
body with standing bristles would have risen up
and said, too much of a good thing or something
else. ” And it also says:
“The most sensible words in regard to the ap
pointment have been uttered by the Monroe Ad
vertiser. It has no condemnation to make un
til the appointee’s merits have been teated and
found wanting. It would be well for the News
to suggest this idea to the people of Flint Cir
cuit.”
We hope the News may act as suggested. The
Herald is right. The Griffin Star twinkles kindly
on our new Judge, and says:
Hon. John I. Hall, our new Judge presides
with dignity, and dispatches business pretty rapid.
He seems to understand the law and tries to have
it executed. We have but little doubt but what
he will make a good officer and give general sat
isfaction, as soon as he gets properly into harness.
He is young and ot course teels embarrassed, but
a little time will set that all right, and we will
have a good Judge.
A Gem. —The Illustrated Floral Work, pub
lished quarterly by Briggs & Brother, Rochester,
N. Y., has reached us promptly, and Is a “thing
of beauty” as well as a publication filled with
valuable information for the benefit of such as
delight in the culture of Flowers, Plants and Veg
etables. The work embraces 136 pages of matter
relating to their growth and culture, Including a
lull list of eleven hundred varieties of seeds sold
by the firm. Many of the illustrations are beauti
ful. All in all, we regard the January Quarterly
of Briggs A Brother as the acme of perfection in
this Hue, and far beyond all its competitors. Since
the issue of the Floral Work as a Quarterly, the
people are able to obtain the four numbers for the
same price as formerly charged for the Annual.
The purchaser of one dollar’s worth or over of
seeds is credited with a subscription for the fol
lowing year. Even those who think they do not
want Flower or Vegetable Seeds, Bulbs or Chro
mos, could make no better investment than to
inclose to Briggs & Brother, Rochester, N. Y.,
twenty-five cents and secure this elegaut Floral
Work.
Committed to thh Flames.— Another burning
of Monroe county issue has occurred recently, as
will be seen by the following extract from “ the
books
We, the undersigned, Committee appointed by
the Board of Commissioners of Monroe, to count
and burn the county money reported by the
Treasurer to be in his possession, certify that wo
have counted and burned, this day, the sum of six

cents. Given under our hands, this January the

Wny is it ?—The Enquirer thinks it is rather
strange that Governor Smith has issued arms and
accoutrements to Bavannah and Macon, and ig
nored Columbus. The Columbus Guards is the
third oldest military organiaatlon in the State, and
by resolution of the last Legislature tte Governor
was instructed to distribute them according to the
priority of organisation. The Quitman Guarda, of
Forsyth, are also beginning to inquire why they
are not armed, and some of them claim that their
organization dates back farther than some of the
companies that have been supplied.
The Rural Carolinian.— This agricultural
journal, published at Charleston, has reached ns.
The work has many scientific articles, yet they
will be found practical by the intelligent planter.
It is alao edited with ability, and an evident de

class for whose benefit it professes to be pub
lished. Terms $2 per annum. Address Walker,

A. Tamer. We hope the new firm may meet with
all the success they can reasonably desire.

Journalistic Change —Jas P. Harrison, the
talented editor of The Monroe Advertiser, and
under whose able management that paper has at
taint such a proud position in the ranks of Geor
gia journalism, has retired from the paper, and
Messrs. George A. King &. Cos. have succeeded
him as proprietor, and Mr. W. D. Stone, as editor.
The change is announced in the last issue of The
Advertiser in appropriate bows. To both par
ties we wish a cordial success. The Advertiser
is one of the best papers in the State.— Rome Cou
rier.
The Monroe Advertiser Las been disposed of
by its Proprietor, James P. Harrison, Esq., who
has proven himself probably one of the ablest
newspaper editors in the State, to Messrs. G. A.
King, B. T. King, and W. D. Stone, the latter as
suming control ot the editorial department. We
regret the retiracy ot Mr. Harrison from the preaa
gang, but rejoice that we recognize in one of the
new proprietors a valued friend of days long syns,
and wish them all the best if cheer in their new
vocations. Cary A. King is general Agent.— Cen

The Monroe Advertiser. —Jas. P. Harrison,
Esq , has sold thia old sterling paper to Messrs.
George A. King A Cos. In the issue of the 28th,
Mr. Harrison takes his leavo of the patrons of
The Advertiser in a characteristically well
written article; and Mr. Wm. D. Stone makes
bis appearance as future editor. To wish the
new proprietors a continuation of the prosperity
of The Advertiser has so long enjoyed would
be all they could desire. — Macon Enterprise.
The Monroe Advertiser, one of the very beat
weekly papers in the Slate, has changed hands.
The last number contains the valedictory of Jas.

A Change.—Tub Monroe Advertiser has
changed hands and will be conducted in the future
by Messrs. Kings & Stone. Mr. Wm. D. Stone is
ttie editor. We wish the firm much good luck.—
Business Mirror.
A Practical Local Joke —The Griffin Star
gives us a gcod joke. If Judge Hall will enforce
the rule rigidly, he will confer a favor on the pub'
lie. The Star says : A certain lawyer in this city
in conversation with Judge Hall a few evenings
ago, stated to the Judge that he would have to
enforce the rule of CGnrt rtquiring all court pa
pers to be kept in court, and advised the Judge
whenever a case was called, if the papers were not
in court, the case should be dismissed. The next
morning the very first case called was one In
which the aforesaid lawyer was counsel for the
plaintiff, and announced ready for trial. Counsel
for defense desired to see the papers, which were
not in court; but, upon examination, the clerk
found he had the receipt of the attorney for the
plaintiff for the papers. Whereupon said attor
ney dismissed his case.
The American Farmer.— The American Farm
er and Rural Register for February is before us.
Thia is one of the oldest Agricultural journals in
the Union, and was established in 1818, and has
continued under the control of the senior propri
etor. The current number is filled with practical,
useful matter for all departments of rural life, its
numerous correspondents including men of the
higbest authority on the subjects upon which
they write. The “ Farmer” is a substantial, solid
Journal, devoted entirely to agriculture and kin
dred pursuits, and is well worthy of the support
of our tboughtlul farmers. Published by Sam’l.
Sands & Son, Baltimore, Md., at $1 50 a year, or
at $1 in clubs of five or more, with handsome
premiums to clubs. Specimen numbers sent free.
Credit. —That credit will again be largely
brought into requisition to carry the planting in
terests through the current season, we have abun
dant evidence. Indeed, if we may judge from
facts with which we have legitimately become ac
quainted, we may with safety express the opinion
that there will probably be little If any diminution
of the number, or value in dollars and cents, of the
mortgages making this year, below those of last
year. Thia is contrary to our expectations, but
we believe it is true. It we have erred in judg
ment we shall be more than pleased to make a
different statement.
The Law.— The law card of ex Judge Jamea W.
Greene appears thia morning.
The Judge accepts the situation philosophically
and dons his old harness at once. We learn, also,
that be is seriously contemplating locating at For
syth. Should he decide upon doing so he will be
greeted by muny friends in Monroe, who have
watched his whole career in life, and warmly ac
cord him legal ability and honesty that will com
mand success.
The G., M. & M. Railroad.—The Madison
Home Journal states that the Griffin, Madison
and Monticello railroad is now placed under such
auspices as to secure ita immediate completion.
Responsible parties have agreed to furnish iron
and equip the road as soon as it is graded and
crosstied.
Among the bills reported from the Committee
on Claims and passed by the House on the Bth,
was a bill appropriating the various amounts
awarded by the Southern Claims Commissioner,
last year, in payment for quartermaster and com
missary stores furnished the army by loyalists in
the South during the war of the rebellion.
Latest Styles.— By ordering goods frequently,
Mr. Danielly keeps his stock full, and always has
the latest styles of Dry Goods for the Ladies,

Poetry—lts Authorship.— Editor Advertiser:
Several lines ot the poetry given below were eopied
into the diary of the late Hon. E. G. Cabaniss. a
short time before his death. They are the writ
ings of Mrs. Barbanld, a lady of literary distinc
tion, who died in England in 1825. She lived to
be 82 years old, and these lines were written in
her extreme old age.
The following Incident related couc—tning
them, in Hart’* English ILi rature. Crabb Rob
inson repeated the lines to Wordsworth, while on
a visit to the poet. Wodeworth, who was walk
ing up and down in his sitting room, asked to
have them repeated again and again, until he had
learned them by heart. Then pausing in his
walk, and muttering to himself, he said: “lam
not in the habit of grudging people their good
things, but I wish I had written these lines."
“ Life! I know not what thou art,
But know that thou and I muat part.
And when, or how, or where we met,
I own to me’s a secret yet.
Life! we’ve been long together,
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
’Tie hard to part when friends are dear,
Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Bay not good night, but in some brighter dime,
Bid me good morning."
A Littlb Girl’s Composition.— Cats: Cats are
ot various kinds, and the most of them are useful
animals. There are the Maltese cats, the common
house cats, ;the Tom cat, the catastrophe and
the cat-o-nine-tails—which accounts for some
cats having nine lives. Unlike the horse and cow,
the cat is very fond of rats and mice; but the
horse and cow will eat hay and fodder, whenever
they can 6teal it from wagons on the street, which
a cat won’t do, for hay and fodder ia not good
food for cata. The kitten is a baby cat; all ba
bies are, however, not cats; though some of them
can squall as loud as most cats, when they have
got the colic. Mrs. Winslow’s soothing syrup Is
said to be very good for the colic,' though I have
never taken any, for I had the whooping cough.
The cat is a very quiet animal when she Is asleep.
I never heard one snore while asleep, but one fell
in our well the other night, and it cost pa several
dollars to have the well cleaned out the next day.
Some people make sausages of cats and dogs and
*ooty horses, and then sell them to other folks to
eat. That’s mean; and I don’t think anybody
ought to patronize such folks, but ought to buy all
their sausages from Mr. Brown who tm> not got
any cata to kill.
Town folks are very fond of poodle dogs. Mrs.
Jenkins sleeps with her dog Daisy every night,
and washes and combe her every day or two, and
the other day Mrs. J. had Daisy’s photograph
taken to send to President Grant. She will pay
the postage. Well, let others do as they may, but
whenever I,have the tooth arU-f? “to going *o Dr.
Morse and have It pulled. He put In mamma’s
teeth, and tbey are n heap better than mine, nev
er ache, and do look so nice. Some folks think
cats are handy things to have about the house ;
others prefer terrier pups; but as for uie “give
me liberty or give me death.”

SPECIAL NOTICES.
War Ekdcr* What is Ccuabls? “What
can’t be cored must be endured,” says the prov
erb ; bat indigestion can be cored, and therefore
it is the merest stupidity to endure it Dyspeptics
have certainly a right to continue dyspeptics to
the end of their days if they choose, but as it is
not supposed that any human being prefers physi
cal torment to ease and health, the probability is
that it all sufferers from indigestion were con
vinced that an absolute, infallible remedy for their
complaint existed, they would with one accord
resort to it' We most emphatically declare that
such a remedy does exist, and that its name is
Hoetetter’s Stomach Bitters. The record of its
success extends over a period of twenty years, and
it is fearlessly alleged that during the whole of
that time it has never failed to afford permanent
relief in any disorder or derangement of the
stomach that was not organic, malignant, and in
curable. The testimonials that go to establish this
Important fact can be counted by the thousand.
Stomach complaints that bad been aggravated
by a total disregard of all dietary rales, and inten
sified and rendered chronic by medicinal treat
ment or drastic purgation have in hundreds of
instances been cured within three months by the
systematic use of this celebrated stomachic and
alterative. It should be remembered that weak
ness of the organs involves many other ailments.
Biliousness, headache, nervous debility, spasms,
palpitation of the heart, rush of the blood to the
head, nausea, vertigo, and sleeplessness are among
its concomitants and results; and for all these the
great vegetable tonic is a specific. It acts first
upon the secretory and nervous systems and bow
els, its general effect being always genial and
beneficent.
Tut Bscacseb.—A hundred reasons might
be given why Lyon’s Kathairon should be used by
every intelligent human being in preference to
every other preparation for the hair, but ten will
aafflco. Here they ar: Because it nourishes the
fibres, multiplies them and makes them grow;
because it thus prevents them from withering and
bleaching; because it removes the scurt and dan
druff which choke them as tares choke the golden
grain; because it keeps the scalp cool and pre
vents eruptions; because it renders the hait as
lustrous as sal in; because it makes it pliant and
elastic; because it it a fragrant and delightful
dressing; because it is without a rival in cheap
ness, and because no other article sold for the
tame purpose, in this or any other country, pos
sesses all, or even one half, of these invaluable
properties.
Dr. Tctt’s Pills.—lt is a purely vegetable
concentration for keeping the bowels In natural
motion and cleansing the system of all impurities,
and a positive cure for Constipation. They restore
the diseased Liver, Stomach and Kidneys, to a
healthful action, while at the same time they brace
and Invigorate the wbole system.
Rom, Ga., January 11th 1871.
Dr. Wm. 11. Tutt: Dear Sir—Having used your
Liver Pills and finding none that have done my
wife to much good, I would like to know If they
would do as well North as here. I intend going
North in March; if they will have the same effect
as in this climate I want take them on with me.

FAEM PUMPS
We also respectfully announce that we have
been appointed agents for the sale of the celebrated
Patent Porcelain Lined
IKON CUM PUMPS,
Over 150.000 Sold,
Adapted for cisterns and wells of any depth up to
ONE HUNDRED FEET.
These pumps are made in exactly the same man
ner as our ordinary wood pumps, with the excep
tion that they are furnished with a Cylinder or
Bucket-Chamber, made of Iron, enameled with
Porcelain, which presents a hard, smooth surface
to the leather packing of the plunger. This—the
most valuable improvement in wooden pumps
ever invented—increases their durability fourfold.
The Cylinder itself being made of the most endur
ing materials, is almost imperishable, while its
smooth, glassy surface diminishes the friction of
the plunger, prevents the wear of the packing.and
renders the operation of pumping much easier A
LITTLE CHILD CAN USE THEM.
These improved pumps are adapted to all cli
mates, are not affected by heat or cold, and the
timber used—yellow poplar—is not Injured by ex
posure, and will not corrupt the water as do
pumps made of metals and other timber. They
are made to throw trom 30 to 80 gallons a minute
as desired. THEY ARE THE CHEAPEST AND
BEST IN THE WORLD. Their superiority has
been attested by awards of premiums at State and
County Fairs wherever exhibited.
SIT Call and examine the Pump and prices.
Every Pomp sold will be warranted.
