The News says be “seems familiar with the duties of a presiding officer, and will probably diapatch business rapid ly.” The Star says: “lie made a very dignified Judicial appearance; had a well prepared eharge all ready, which he delivered with easy grace." Prompt Kbsponsb.— A gentleman In Forsyth received a note from an anxious gentleman In Newnan, saying he had a $lO bill of our city issue, and Inquiring what It was worth. The reply was, “It la worth two $0 greenbacks.’’ We hope this will give case to the aforesaid Newnan gen tleman’s financial dreams. Tbmpbrancb. —A new organization of the friends of temperance, in Forsyth, Is earnestly contemplated. The charter to commence work, Issued by the Grand Council of the United Friends of Temperance, has been received, and we have good reason t<* believe the new local Lodge will he at once opened. Rial Estate Changes. —Since our last Mr. S. U. Stone has sold Ills beautiful and convenient village property to Mr. J. D. Proctor. This is a fine location, and convenient to the business cen tre. After making thia trade Mr. Btone at once purchased the residence of Mr. Joa. Sterne. Mr. J. R. Rawls has also purchased the Wni. H. Head property, occupied by Mr. Win. Johnson. Mr. Rawla expects to move to town aa soon as possession of bis purchase can be secured. Personal.— Mr. L. Greenwood leaves for New Fork to-day, to select and purchase a spring stock for hit house. This once done to his satisfaction, rumor hath it he will eugage in a more pleasant business, and that on his return he will be accom panied by another partner—for life. Mr. J. R. Eanks, formerly a citizen of Forsyth, has returned from Muscogee county, where he has resided a number of years. He will be greeted by many and warm friends. We regret to learn that Mrs. D. San lord is very 111. 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. Jikd : On the morning of the 10th Inst., In For syth, Mrs. Geo. M. Rhodes, aged 43 year*. Her ll’neaa had extended through several weeks. She was an exemplary member of the Baptist Church, and her demise will be regretted by a la-ge circle of friends and scqnaintences, who will sympathise wltb the bereaved husband. In Charleston on Saturday Feb. Bth, Mrs. Mary Pearlstlen, aged 2f> years, consort of Mr. I. M. Pearlstlen of Forsyth. She was interred in Char leston on the 9th. Mrs. P. had suffered from an 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 hundred and eighty-seven dollars and ninety-five cents. Given under our hands, this January the 21st, 1873. Daniel G. Proctor, 1 J. 8. Pinckakd, J-Com. John A. Damsel y, ) Approved. And It is ordered by the Board of Coonty Commissioners that this certificate be re corded in the Record Book of the Commissioners. Wm. B. Mhss, ) n n . _ H. G. Bean, j Co * Com r *• 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 sire to advance the interests and usefulness of the class for whose benefit it professes to be pub lished. Terms $2 per annum. Address Walker, Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, 8. C. New Partnership.— The announcement is mads this morning of the formation of s law part nership between Capt. T. B. Cabaniss and Mr. C. A. Tamer. We hope the new firm may meet with all the success they can reasonably desire. To Planters. —We commend the advertise ment of Messrs. Jones * Baxter, Macon, to the attention of our planting friends. The Chesapeake brand of guano has always been a favorite fertili se-, and used with marked success. Notices or the Press. 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 tral City. 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. P. Harrison, late editor and propritor, and also the salutatory of Wm. D. Stone, present editor, and of George A. King & Cos., present proprietors. We wish this journal as successful career in the future as it has had in the past.— Cartersvill* Ex pres*. 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, Clothing Hats, etc., for the Gents, Notions, Hard ware, Crockery, Cutlery, Tobacco, etc. By way of variety he has 175 different kinds and styles of Boots and Shoes.

Editor Advertiser: I send you rain-fall and mean of Thermometer here for the last two months.

Bat I have read in some old, old book that in an cient times Jlrt was a preferred way of punishing “ wicked cities,” and as you have had a left handed lick of that element, you must take your place under the proper class. Not knowing, then, whether the changes have been to sudden and ex treme with you, as with us, 1 can only venture— “ rough It at a ventur "—to advise you to be care ful how your “typos” leave your warm room suddenly and unprotected. a. C. 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.” lebll.lt NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

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.

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.

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. Sowing Maohinss.
