Mr. Jamea T. Tyua ha* consented to act ns
agent at Milner, Pike county, and Mr. A. S.
Ilaynn. at Russellville, Monroe county. Other
local agents will he announced as arrangements
are made.
Resigned. — Messrs. H. G. Bean and W. B. Meek
have r< signed their positions as Coun’y Comm
slonera.
LtVELT.—Fix Jurors were fined Ur failing to be
prompt yesterday morning, in the sum of $lO
each.
*•
Provoking. —Yesterday morning the Forsyth
mail pouch was delivered at Barcesviiie, and the
Barnesville pouch at Forsyth. Annoying mis
t ikes often happen, •
PbniTlnt.—Andrew Cochran, colored, con
fe sed to steaiing half a bushel of corn yesterday,
lor which he was sen"cneed by Hie Court to psy a
line of S2O.
N'lw Bell —We observe tiiat anew hell has
I en placed in position on t lie Pye Block, and
that the intention is to use it to invite members
of the Building and l.oan Association to “walk
tip to tli; Captain’s office and settle.”
PUBLIC Lecture. —We learn that Hon. Alex. M
Speer has consented to deliver his lecture, “What
I saw in England,” before the ciCzsns and stu
dents of Forsyth, at an early day. Due ana timely
notice will he given.
Married .—Drixkell, Sturdvant: On the 18th
ult., by Rev. W. H. Graham, Mr. W. Dtlskell and
Miss M. A. Sturdvant, all of Monroe.
Redding, Duncan: In Griffin, on the 28th inst.,
by Rev. J. P. Duncan, Col. John F. Redding and
Miss Susie Duncan.
The Babbath.—Last Sabbath was one of the
most Inclement days within the recollection of
the oldest inhabitant. The church bells were si
lent, and we believe no public services were held.
Cheerful fires were the most attractive features of
the day, and there was, very sensibly, great una
nimity observed in enjoying them.
Marrow Escape —The alarm of fire sounded
on Thursday last was occasioned by the burning
of a chimney of the residence of Judge Newman.
The wind was blowing a gale, arid the root caught
in two or tlnee placeg, but the fire was fortunately
ex ingui tied without material damage to the
premises.
Among the acts passed by the Legislature at the
last session, was one to “amend the act to make
permanent the site of the public buildings in Pike
county.” We have no positive knowledge of the
bill, hut is whispered that the location cf the
capital will speedily be a “vexed question” in
Pike.
—
Miln r —We ate pleased to learn that the pros
pects of this elegantly located village are growing
brighter daily. The school, under charge of Rev.
E. M. Ilooten, Principal, and Mr. Jesse Mays.
Assistant, has beenopened. There are a number
of active and far seeing gentlemen in Miltier and
Its vicinity, and as they seern determined to de
velop* all the advantages of the location, ttie town
must thrive and grow in importance.
The College. —The officers of the Monroe Fe
male College present anew card io the public this
morning, to which we invite attention.
The school, we learn, is gaining largely in pub
lie favor, of which fact an encouraging increase
of pupils allotds evidence. The officials and
Faculty are laboring zealously in their work, and
with great success. The people of Forsyth have
good reason to (eel proud of their favorite scho
lastic institutions.
Liberal* —Through the exertions of the ladies
of the M. F, Church, the pulpf.t and altar of the
new church have been provided with hd elegant
sett of appropriate furniture. And we take pleas
ure in stating that tire Central Railroad officials
so far aidui in this woik as to furnish free trans
portalion for the articles from New York to For
sytt. This liberality on the part of President
Wailley and Superintendent Rodgers is highly
appreciated by the ladies of Forsyth.
*•
Wheat Chop.— During a hurried trip to Cul’.o
den and vicinity, last week, it was ascertained
that the wh at outlook in that section was nn
doubtedly better than hs.d been reported. The
severe weather of the winter has thinned out the
early sowings,bnt an experienced planter expressed
the opinion that this was an advantage, as there
was a “ good stand ” left. It is to be hoped his
expectations w ill be veritl and.
Thanks are due tne kind friends whose hospi
tality insured every personal comfort during the
trip.
Married. —Bean, O'Xeal: At the residence of
Judge Simeon O’Neal, in Seale, Al 1., on Tuesday
February 25th, 1873, by Rev. Mr. Fye, Mr. Jno.
A. Bean of Forsyth, Ga., to Miss Mary D. O’Neal.
We congratulate the happy bridegroom upon
having succeeded iu transplanting one of Ala
bama’s fairest (lowers to the soil of Georgia.
In her chosen home the young bride will find
many warm friends, who will greet her ia her new
sphere with pleasure. May the choicest blessing
of heaven attend the happy pair throughout long
lives of usefulness and happiness.
Thwarted.—An attempt was made to 6teal a
bale of cotton from the warehouse ol Mr. J. W.
Moran, one night last week, which was prevented
by a little vigilance on the part of Mr. M. The
negro porter tailed to lock the doors fronting the
railroad, and at a late hour it was discovered a
bale had be n rol'ed out, preparatory to loading
ou a wagon, when Mr. Moran, armed and
equipped, mounted guard. The rogue or rogue
e iJeullv -nulled something in the wind, and kept
awiy. After spending a couple of hcuis tx;ose l
to inclement weather, Mr. M. had hi# cotton re
turned to the ware-house.
Fee.—On the night of the 25th ult., the corn
ctib of the Rev. W. J Morcoek, about two miles
from Forsyth, was burned. It contained several
hundred pounds of iodder, ten or titleeu bushels
of peas, some cottcu seed and a lot oflcng forage.
Under a shelter was an a’mcst new d\ oodruff
w.-gon which was destroyed before the lire was
discovered. As the night was calm and there had
bten no fire carried about that part of the premises
during the day it must have been the work of au
incendiary. We hope th-t the Grand Jury will te
enabled to elicit sufficient evidence to arraign the
offender to punishment, and. if possible, aid ia
arresting the fearful number of cotton and gin
house conflagrations.
Axotbeb Eiampls. —Mr. Jiff. Bsz. more made
last year eight bales of cotton to the mule, and
corn, wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, meat, etc.,
enough to serve his ;arm lor twelve months. He
bought uo tertilizers; is able to pay cash for
everything, and holds his entire cotton crop ol
last year. His lands heve been Iteretofore con
sidered poor. Such is the result of well con
ducted skill, labor and economy. Monroe has
other farmers in different parts of th" county do
ing about as well whose example could be fol
lowed with profit. If such a system was generally
inaugurated the county woul t oe more Independ
ent and planters the lo:ds of its soil and the con
trollers of its interests.
81 pf.mok Cot rt.—During the past week the
Superior Court of Monroe co nty was in session—
Judge John I Hull presiding, and Capt. T. B,
Cat anis Solicitor. This js the first t-nn of
these gentlemen in Monro*-, ant it 1* get era ty
conceded that they conducted ftp mat vts in their
new t| here in a highly creditable manner, and one
that gives premise of future succ- ss officially, and
satisfaction to the public. Judge Hail established
a reputation ior being a stri’t disciplinarian, as
several gentlemen can testify; and the attendants
upon court wlil, we think, he eat ter refrain from
creating the “ noise and contusion " so commonly
witnessed in the “Hills of Justice.” The reform
is a good one.
The general prrsentments of the Grand Jury
wi l he found in another column. They report
public ffdra generally in a satisfactory condition.
We understand the discussions before the Jury,
on several general questions, were lengthy and
ep'.ritcd ; hut a spirit of compromise finally pre
vailed, and the deliberations of the body were
c'osed with harmony, and the corclusloca arrived
at with great ucacimpy. The hasin--S6 befare the
grand inquest was concluded on Saturday, and no
Grand Jury was empannelled y sferday.
L'uri ig the week the local bar was largely rein
forced by members from a distance. Bibb, Pike,
Butts, Fulton, Upson, Spalding and perhaps
ether counties had representatives present. Judge
Ttippe w-s, we believe, the only habitue of the
cctirt room who could not have responded at a
roll call. Hia duties in Atlanta prevented a visit
to Forsjth.
Bob Hollis, colored, plead guilty to the indict
ment sgain-t hint, and was fined $lO and costs.
Murphy Shannon, colored, had been shooting
at somebody, for which he has to p*y s*>o or board
wi'h the county 6ix months.
Missouri Wilkes, a colored fifteenth, was found
guilty cf a-suult, and asked to pay J2O and costs.
James Jenkins, Cel., found guilty of assault and
battery, fined S4O and costs.
Court adjourned la6t evening until the next
regular term.
Forsyth. —Our town, ae seen by visitors, is
porttayed in the last issues of the Griffin Star
and Tip m.otcn Herald—both journals having had
representatives in rur midst. Mr. McMiehael
ncticos in a fl ittering manner mvetal of ottr local
fef.tnriß, among otl.-rs the hot. 1, tie business of
Messrs. Willingham A: Dunn, and of L. Greer &
Cos. Of our Fan ile College he says :
The institution ins ninety of Gods little “last
and best gifts to man,” rnder its tender care, and
will be more largely attended v. hen the weather
is more sunny and the alarms c! meningitis are
less prevalent.
’I he new court is complimented by the Herald
in fitting termß, aiid also by the Star—the latter
i.i Mr. Fitch’s usual hearty manner. He says:
Hail and Cabaniss make as nice and snug a
young judicial team as were ever hitched up lu
double harness, and work beautifully together.
They are both young, intelligent, sensible, well
read, and unusually good looking. The Governor
certainly bad an idea of the ‘ fitness of things”
when he harnesed them together.
Of the town and its surroundings hesays: From
appearances, and all accounts, there is no town in
Middle (J. orgia in a more thiiving condition thru
Forsy h. We ate glad of it, for her citizens are of
the best, most intelligent, hospitable and libera!
das*, and the to n is surrounded ley about the
best class of farmers we know iu this or any other
country.
Withdrawn. The application for an injunc
tion, made by Dr Blackburn of the Barnesville
Patriot, against the local of the Gaz.-lte, was, we
learn, withdrawn without a hearing.
Fearful End —From the Constitution we learn
that Thomas O’Neal, a young man from Butts
county, who was sentenced to be hanged for the
murder of a gentleman in Jonesboro, which sen
tence was commuted to the penitentiary for life
by the Governor, was shot and killed on the night
of the 21st., by the guard at the railroad camp,
under the following cireum-tanees. O’Neal had
made an agreement with another prisoner to over
come or kill the guard and make their escape The
otiier prisoner, from fear or some other cause, did
not come up to the appointment. Mr. O’Neal
rnadt a rush od his guard, caught him by the col
lar, and with upraised hand bratidishing a knife,
was in the act of plung ng it into him, when anoth
er of the guard fired upon him, killed him. Eleven
buck shot eutered his body, one or two of them
his heart.
Profitable Reading. —The Science of Health
for March has reached us, and is au excellent
number. This is a commendable publication.
Devoted to a subject- of vital importance to the
human race, it deserves a world-wide circulation.
This March number contains Popular Physiology
aud Diseases of the Eye, with engraved illustra
tions; Bald Heads on Young Shoulders; Signs of
a Healthy Child ; Cruelty to the Young ; Vaccina
tion Problem ; Disease and its Treatment; Sea
sonable Dishes, and How to Cook Them ; Alcohol
and Opium; Health of Bankers; Health of Wo
men; Airing Bed-rooms, and a mass of other
interesting reading matter. It is published at the
popuhit price o! $2 or 20 cents a number,
including a fine Cfiromo to new subscribers. Ad
dress 8. R Wells, 389-Broadway, New York.
Tub Tax Question.— The petition for au in
junctioc against Smith Waller, Esq., Tax Collec
tor, was argued before Judge Hall ou the 24th.
Col. Ciueinnatus Peeples represented the Peti
tioners, and Cols. Clifford Anderson and Pinekard
the Collector On Friday the following order was
made by Judge Hall:
It being desirable that due consideration be
given by the Court to this case, it is ordered that
the judgment of the Court therein be suspended
until next week, or until such time as the pre
siding Judge shall have lull time to consider the
question made, who will make up his decision at
C/hamlers aid give due notice of the same to
counsel. It is lunher ordered by the Court that
the bill, amended bill, and answer be entered,
filed iu office, so as to become a part of the rec
ord iu tbe case.
Died. —We regret to learn from the Dalton Cit
izen of the death of Mrs. S. Higgins, wiie of Mr.
John Higgins, recently oi Indian Spring, Butts
couuty. Her death occurred on the 20ih ult.
The citizen gays :
Down to a beautiful and peaceful old age Mrs.
H. had journeyed with her affectionate husband,
who was her young heart’s choice in the morning
ot her life. But the decline of age earne, the eve
ning shadows fell, and the loveiy Christian walk
of the wite cta-ed, while her lone and saddened
partner is lett to continue his earth journeying# a
little longer—a little longer, until they meet again
beyond the “Beautiful River.”
Personals. —On Wednesday last Judge Pounds,
of the Bartlesville Gazette, and Capt. McMichael,
o! the Thomastoa Heiaid, paid us a visit. Both
geuthmeu ate pleased with Forsyth, and In ve
promised to “call again.”
Mr. W. E 11. Searcy, Worthy Grand Scnbe
ot me tiraud Council oi the United Friends ol
icinpt.ai ec oi Georgia, Visited tori-ylii lor the
pur; •. e oi epeu.ng Foisylh Counc.l No. 2, and
liis.aliiug officers. Mr. S. is an ardent anti effective
wo.ker iu the temperance cause, and was coidial
ly greeted by his co-laborers.
The Weather. —As usual Ma;cu has opened
Spring iu a titful mood. We have already had
snow, sleet, lain, ice, and wind in abun
dance ; and it any ot our readcis are uot satisfied
with the variations thus far, ths clerk of the
weather may accommodate them. We have a
1 genuine March, such as the poeis have been writ
iug about ; but there is nothing iu it that wo can
admire. We are wearied with shivering in Marsh
alroady, and ready and willing to ents-r upon ihe
mouth ot flowers.
liu.MiCiua in Butts. —On the o-iJ iast. Mr. Pip
Harris was shot by Mr. Cargyle, near Pitman’s
Ferry, Balts county. Harris attempted to visit
Mr. Careyic's residence on Suuu-iy week, alter
having been requested repeat--i.iy not to do so,
and on approaching the door, sweating and
abusing Mr. C., the latter shot and killed him in
stantly. Public opinion justifies Mr. Cargyle, and
at last accounts he had not been arrested.
•
A Chasce.—We have neglected to call atten
tioa to the advertisement ct Mr. Mill edge, but it
is not yet too la’e. The chance he offers Is a good
one. The brick yard has always been considered
the best site, so tar as the quality ol the clay is
i concerned, in the vicinity of Forsyth, and its
| proximity to town makes it specially desirable.

The Good Templars.— Edit,., Advert'- .here
is a story of Grecian Mythology *• v nespvcda
well with the history of the i. \c iu Forsyth.
One Da-Jalas having become i .voived in a diffi
culty at Athens, ti?l for protection to Minos,
Ring of Crete. But having incurred the displeas
ure of that roler, he was vhr-awn into prison. After
a short time, however, he w„s delivered by the
assistance of the king’s wife: but dreading the
wrath of Minog, he made for himself and his son
Icarus wings of wax, stuffed them with leathers,
and Sew away freni the premises. But during the
fl.ght Icarus soared too high, and his waxen w ings
were melted by the heat of the sun, end he fell
into a sea, which wa- ealitd the Icsiian Sea from
him. Daedalus arrived in Sicily.
The Good Templars Lave met with a fate some
what similar to that of poor Icarus. While they
have wiDged their flight through the atmosphere
of hallucination, their waxen pinions of enthusi
asm have teen melted ty the scorchiug rays of
the sun of experience, and they have fallen into
a sea, which might be called the Utopian Sea from
them. This is not said to discourage their efforts
in the cause oi temperance—far be it from me to
do such a thing. But the 1. O. G. T. have fallen ;
and great has been the fall. In this connection
it is prop r to state that culpability does not !ie
at the door ol all. Those who held out to the
last and battled for the right, deserve much cred
it. They did wh..t they couid, which is ait that
the angels can do. But alas, they were unable to
check the swelling tide of intemperance that rolls
its heaving billows over the length and bredth ot
the land, and now threatens to inundate the whole
continent.
It seems to me that any tutional man ought to
be convinced by this time that the way to reform
the fallen is not by exacting from them an obliga
tion of total abstinence. This he is presumed to
know from experience, if not frcia any other
source. It Plutarch lived in these degenerate
days, and wonld turn his mind to the comparison
of things as wcil as of men, I am inclined to think
he could draw a striking parallel between the
Order of Good Templars and some of the quack
medicines. One of ihe most appropriate for the
comparison is a kind of powders I once heard of
being advertised ior killing fleas. The directions
were as follows: When jou catch a ilea, ju t
squeeze it cu the back of the neck, which wiil
force it !o open its month; then drop therein a
grain of the powders, and it will cause the flea to
fly into a thousand pieces. And, indeed. I think
the Gotd Templars will l*e just about as success
ful in ridding the community of intemperance as
would be these powders in the extermination of
fleas.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter
in reference to the Good Templars : They reform
one drunkard out every three or four hundred
thousand million, and perjure ail tha others. But
away with hyperbolical phraseology. I once be
lieved oar Order to be the organisation. But
two years of experience and observation hae con
vinced me of the contrary. I have long since be
lieved that it was not my duty to advise any one
to join. Indeed I regard it as a dangerous matter
—yea, a matter fraught with tremendous evil—to
persuade an inebriate to take an obligation that
shall be commensurate with his life. If Sliak
speare lived in these days, I have reason to think
he would not be a Good Templar- -he would know
too much about human nature. Acting upon
this knowledge, he would condemn the practice
of some in taking hold of a person by compulsion,
as it were, and carrying him into the Lodge, nolens
volcns, never considering the magnitude of the act
which they are about to perpetrate. But I prom
ised in my last to treat of a
temferance organization
better adapted to the principles of human nature.
Such an organization, I think, would not re
quire of a man a pledge that he could not keep.
The ostensible object of all temperance societies
is the reformation of the inebriate. If an obliga
tion were administered to such as long as he
held connection with said organization, it wonld
be a good beginning. If the probationer promised
well, and it was agreeable to all, a pledge of five
years might properly be administered. The num
ber who would violate such a pledge, under the
circumstances, I think would be very few. The
Order known as the United Friends of Temper
ance, almost fills the bill, provided its principles
be fully carried out. They permit a person to
take the obligation as long as he holds connection
with the Order, or for life, which is all very well.
But if inducements are held out to the probation
members to take a life-long obligation, they will
be exposed to serious danger. And if they be
come negligent of their duty in that particular,
they may expect the Order to hasten to a speedy
dissolution. Nevertheless I believe the U. F. T.
to be infinitely superior to the 1. O. G. T. as a
temperance organization.
It would be wrong to conclude this article
withour saying a word about those who have vio
lated, ard still continue to violate, their obliga
tion with impunity. As for those who took the
pledge and intended to keep it, but found them
selves unable, they are to be pitied ; tut those
who took it with no intention to keep it. ought
to be ostracized by the community and their
names stigmatiz and with iufamv. They and cr.’t de
serve as much credit as the heathen. Lycurgns,
the ancient Spartan law giver, when he was about
to depart or. a journey, exacted from his people
au oath that they Would keep his laws until he
should return; but as he never returned, they
were under obligation to always keep his laws.
And t‘o their immortal honor, be it remarked,
they did keep his laws five hundred tears, —
and yet, mirabile dicta, this disorderly squad of
Forsyth Good Template have not kept their
pledge a single year!! Hence I conclude, by leg
ical deduction, that they are beneath the heathen,
inasmuch ss they have not done as well.
In conclusion I would remark that this article,
as well as the previous one, has not been written
in a vindictive spirit, but the occasion is to be
regretted. But be that as it may, the Good Tem
plars have failed of their object, and the Forsyth
Lodge, like ancient Troy, is numbered among the
things that were. FntLADEi.Puus.
Mister Editor: 1 aint never told you about my
trip to Atlanta. Let me tell you all about it.
I luck a notion to go up thar while the legisla
tor was setin, tbiukiu I mout git a peep at the
assembled wisdurn of the State. So I brushes up
and tuck the train at Forsjth, and in a little o
no time, we went claterin up the road and whizinf
by lots of towns, some ov thetu a plegtd site tiger
than Forsyth; bein among strangers I held my
peace all the way np thar, raped in profound si
lence contemplatiL the vrundeiful age we live and
vewin the many interestin senes that went flyin
back behind us. After a while I was sudinly
called back to realities by a long seareeahin whis
t le ov the itgin aiffi someone sayin Atlanta is
close by, and sbure enough, pretty soon tang dang
tangalang went the bell, as we went roliin slowly
up under the big shelter whar the cars stop ; then
6ich another hurly-burly and chaterin, inside and
out. Quick as anybody I grabed my carpet-bag,
and out I went determined to appear used to ail
sich doius, but no sooner bad I get squairly out
than my eyes fell on the Hi Kimbel house, and
thar I stood gazein in mute admiration ov its
towerin hite, and tninkin ov the wunderfal tri
umphs ov arkatecture and State finanseeria, when
up cums a nigger with a tin sine-board on his bat,
and says he, iu a fami’ure way, “ Hi Kimble hous,
sir.” Yes, says I, without turnin my Lead, darned
internal high in many respects. Says he, “ mis
tnr, you never traveled much, did you ?” says I,
if you dout travel on with your tin sine board I
wiil show you hew I’ll travel into you and that
pretty quick ; just then up steps another big nig
ger and layed right holt ov my carpet-bag, and
says he, ’• master, that nigger is a fool. Cum
al eng and go to the National hotel,” and he com
menced puilin me rite along. Let go my carpet
bag, says I, or I’ll send you to damnation hotel,
that quick. “No imperiiteness intended,” says
he. 1 spoae not says I; you only w anted to steal
my carpet-bag, or mabe you take me to be the
lorlone hope of the carpet-bag army come to re
stoie Bullock in all ov h.s prestine glory. I w.s
jest squarin myself to dart a joiter at him when
one ov the perlice tuck me by the arm and 6ays
he, ‘ my lriend, these are only porters ov the
hotel, they only desire to conduct you to cumfurt
able quarters whar you will be well provided for.”
All rite, says I, if that is what they are up to, and
says I, which is the b -.sf place tog>to -iy b:,
“ the Nat iocs! i-■ s g ,od as any, and a t I in g * ng
that way I wiil bosv you wear it i.-.” Mu.li
obliged to ;,ou for your t ruble, *ays l. “Not at
all,” Buys he. Says I, stranger, do yoa and rat my
word? "O no,” rays he, “ I only rnent that it was
no truhle to me that you Be Jen! f el you'reil un
der any obligations to me at all.” lleg pardon,
says I, fur uo‘ understand!!) sstty purliteuee-; •hi
lt the fust time I ever cum to Atlanta. “ Ah,
well, says he, “we w:!l he friends—come
So on we went rite by tbe Kimble house, but all
the time I couldn't help lookin up feeiin a little
skittish, feariu that big wail mout Us pen to topple
over and evsrlastialy smash me up. J ss we
turned tbe corner, good grasha- elive, says 1, is
tbar goiu to lea show here to-day? “ Mot that
I know ov,” says he; “why?” Look, says I
what a crowd ov folks in town. “ O,” says he
“that is an every day occurrence.” \Y c il, says I,
if that be t-e case I fear my chane-s at the hotel
will be ulim, for they mast be pretty well eat out
by this time. “ Have no fears about that,” says
he, “here is the National; walk iu,” and he made
a perlite bow and went on up the street. Who
should I meet first at the dore but Chat lie Luns- :
ford, (you know Charlie,) and I tell you 1 was
glad enuff to meet him ; it made me leel kinder
home like. Well,.Char ie, lie tuck me rite in and
told me U. write my name in a big book they had
thar, and showed me wh&r to go to wash and be
reddy for dinner. Well after washin I thont I
would brush my head a little and look as nice as
possible at the dinner tuble, so I steps into the
barber room and picks up a brush and turns
around to the glass, when slash, somethin t
me on the back, and I’ll swar I believe 1 jump-u
six feet high. I cum down with about face, t-nJ ;
tharstcod another iufercel Digger with a si, ..
handle broom in his hand cumin right at me, bn
I guess I was quick enuff for him that timr, i jest
brought him sieh an overswipe against the left
temple th-t ir sent nim spralin elere across the
room, and was on him beiare you canid say
stop, and I let you know I give him pork and
beans. While I was wadein into hin all of them
other niggets in the room commenced pullin at
me and hoilerin hold, hold, and I held my holt,
and I let you know I made good use ov my hands
and feet. I had no idea ov leting the bottom rail
get on top that time. In the midst ov the hub
bub iu ctunsa big bully lookin feller, and says he
to me, “ you must go with tne to the gard house.”
Says I, I will go to any other hotel in the place
providein they don’t allow niggers to set ia on me
with brooms. ”Ckm along,” says he, “ I’ll have
you taken cere ov.” That's my hand, saye I, wait

Home Interests, and National Security.—
The thinking men of Forsyth and Monroe county,
knowing that Life Insurance is a legitimate aud
established business, and that our people will in
snre somewhere, have determined to form a branch
o! the Republic Life Insurance Company, the
foundation idea cf which was to prevent, in some
measure, the annual drain from the West a; and
South of millions of dollars and keep them lo
investment at home. Its plans were matured by
the best insurance talent and experience in the
uatioD, and resulted with a capital stock of $5,-
000,000. A strong central organization, com
prising leading men of character and position in
various enterprises, and with a charter eecours
aging the formation ol branch organizations of
stockholders in leading business centers of the
country, composed of Ihe same class of honorable
men, thus making an institution of national ex
tent and prestige, and yet a home company every
where.
To carry out its leading idea tha constitution
provides that the stock subscribed, and the sur
plus premiums paid in each locality, (in the West
and South,) shall be invested where received, un
der directions of the branch officers, subject to
approval of the Centra! Committee. The money
is loaned only upon real estate, undoubtedly se
cure, at ten per cent, per annum.
The policy of the Republic Life is a simple,
plain and definite contract, nonforfeiting after a
certain number of payments, gives insurance at
the lowest safe r.>tes,a certain amount for so much
money, and every one has its v due written upon
it so that there is no chance for misunderstanding
and no necessity of referring to the home office.
Having secured such evidence of success, strength
of capital, character and organization, home feel -
ing and local pride, backed by the strongest men
In the community, it is already the largest com
pany of its age in the world. Other sections ot
our State have branches of this most popular and
enterprising institution in successful operation.
Some of our largest capitalists and best financiers
have stock in them, and many thousands ot dol
lars has thus been safely lodged in Georgia where
it is so much needed. The good results are visi
ble in having caused other companies to apply
for amended charters, so as to invest here like
wise; a spirit of enterprise is brought about, and
our waste places are being built up. This is only
a step in the right, direction ; but surely the time
lias conic to know the value of a dollar and the
importance of keeping it athome. There is no
lesson in economy more difficult to be practiced
than the proper t’.ianagem :nt of little things, and
a due appreciation of this lessson is not only the
surest way to fortune, but by it the weak control
the strong, impaired lands compete with and gain
the mastery over affluence and wealth, and upon
it hinges the door which leads from adversity to
prosperity. Many millions of dollars have gone
from the South since the war.and it stills flows like
a mighty river, but every seeing mradis aware that
something must be done, and stern necessity alone
is producing reaction. We ask, therefore, that
the Monroe county branch, now being organized,
shall enjoy perfect confidence, as it will, we can
not doubt, deserve. *
which is BEST?
This world is dark and dreary,
When we make it so;
This world is bright and cheerful,
When we take it so.
Our friends are cold and distant
Whene’r we doubt them;
Our friends are true and loving
Whene’r we trust them.
Is’t best to live in the dark,
Doubting day by day.
Or live in the light of Love,
Trusting day by day ?

Bishop Paine.—The numerous friends of Bish
op Paine throughout the Church, will receive,
with painful regret, the intelligence conveyed in
the following extract from the Nashville Advocate
of February 22d. We join heartily in the hope
that his painful disability may prove to be of
brief duration, and that he may soon be able to
resume his accustomed valuable labors .
“We are very sorry to hear that Bishoo Payne
is suffering gr*atiy with rheumatism —he has been
almost helpless for some time. He feats that he
will not be able to attend the session of the Bal
timore Conference, which meet March 8. Bish
ops Pierce end Doggett, it is hoped, will be iu at
tendance. Bishop Paine took a very severe cold
in attending a funeral in the country. We fer
vently pray that he may soon be relieved, and
that his valuable life may long be preserved to the
Church.
A Recruit.—On Saturday last Bill Corker, col
ored, was sentenced by Judge Hall to ten years
penitentiary duty, and he will soon he transferred
to the care of Grant, Alexander & Cos. The sen
tence was to the extent of the law, but the crime
committed by Bill was an aggravated one—that
of stabbing an officer who attempted to arrest
him.
They tell of a wealthy citizen of Providence who
did cot reward an honest brakeman for sen ding
back his satchel containing £20,C00 which be had
carelessly left in tke car, but on the contrary,
scolded him for not keeping it antil he called for
it, and thus saving him the expense of twenty-five
cents for expressage.
Next.— Butts Superior Court will convene on
Monday next.
Seven thousand women belong to the Belgian
Internationals,
{■rand Jury Presentment*,
Mo\Hot Superior Uourt, )
February derm, 1873. \
FIRST WEEK.
We, ihe Gtar.d Juror*, selected, ehos. n sud
sworn for th“ Feb-nary term, 1673, Superior
Court, beg leave to mik-- the following presert
m nfs:
f’y ap- ropriate committees the Books if the
Ordinary, Ci< rk of the Superior Court, Treasurer,
Conn'y Commissioners, dockets of Justices of the
Peace, and Notary Publics, and the bonds of
county officials have beeji examined.
We find that the Ordinary has all the books aud
forms that the law requires, which are properly
kept. He complains that marriage certificates are
not returned, iu consequence of negligence on the
part of officers officiating in the marriage ceremo
ny.
We find the books of the Clerk of the Superior
Court kept in a neat and correct manner, and that
he has all the books and blanks necessary to his |
office.
We recommend that anew desk be provided !
for the use of the clerk in the Court Room.
We further recommend that he be paid (SSO)
fifty dollais for the year tor extra services.
We find the Books of the former Treasurer kept
correct and in form, except the item of commis- j
sior.s on commissions, amounting to twenty-tour!
dollars ($24.50) and fifty cents, which amount he
agrees to turn over to the present Treasurer.
We find the present Treasurer’s Books in order,
and properly kept, with no funds on hand.
We find the Poor Bouse main building in need
of anew roof, and some patching on the cabins.
We farther find nine white and eleven black pau
;;"c, making a total of twenty.
We find the books of the clerk ol the Board of
C uty Commissioners kept neatly. The Board
cl County Commissioners submitted the following
statement as the probable indebtedness of the
county:
Scrip in the hands of B. Pse & Son $8 00
“ “ “ “ W. L. Carmiehael 31 81
“ “ “ “ W. C. Lockett 100 00
“ “ “ “ Clowerit Culpepper....s 10

“ ** “ “ W. Lempkiu & C0...2,412 70
“ “ “ 44 U. C. McGough 10 00
Estimated amounts in other hands 500 00
Amount of county money in circu-
lation from 7 to 10,300 dollars, say 8,500 00
Total $11,802 05
We find the debt of the county from the esti
mate above to be about eleven thousand eight
hundred and sixty-two dollars and sixty-five cents,
and would recommend the proper authorities to
levy a tax cot exceeding one hundred per cent,
on the State tax for the present year.
The resignation of former Commissioners, H.
G. Bean and W. B. Meek, having been received
and accepted, we have elected the following Board
of county Commissioners: B. M. Hathorn, David
S. Redding, and George D. Allen, and would res
pectfully ask his Honor, Judge John I. Hall, to
confirm the same.
We recommend the following accounts be paid:
John B. Davis, for extra services at the poor
house, $23 25; Joseph M. Brown, for nursing and
burial expenses of two paupers. Tap Walker,
$lO 00, and .Mrs. J. W. K c -nt, $5 95; Bramblett &
Bro., $5 95.
W•; would call the attention of the hoard ot
County Commissioners to the condition of the
bridges generally in the county, and recommend
that all necessary repairs be made.
We have had but few of the dockets of the Jus
tices of the Peace submitted for examination, and
find those in the 474th G. M. District, T. M.
Brantley, N. P., ex J. P.; in the 595th, T. H.
Vaughn, J. P.; in 4SCth G. M. District, Ihos. W.

004th G. M. District, J. C. Poe, J. P.; 557th G. M.

And we recommend that the Justices of the
Peace of the County herein default, be required
to report to the Grand Jury of next term of the
Court their dockets, and hereafter fulfil the re
quirements of an act passed by the General As
sembly, Decembea 12th, 1871, in regard thereto
We recommend that John Bishop be continued
as Janitor of the Court House at the same salary
as heretofore.
We find that the bonds of C. 11. Slurp, W. M.
Williams, C. M. MeCune, H. T. Gibson, M. T.
Harper, and N. M. Hammond, county officers
have good and sufficient securities, and recom
mend his Honor, Judge John I. Hail, to approve
the same.
We further recommend that ihe Sheriff be al
lowed one hundred dollars for extra services dur
ing the present year.
In taking leave of the Court we tender our
thanks to his Honor, Judge John I. Hall, for his
kindness to our body; also our thanks to Col. T.
B. Cabaniss, Boh Gen’h, for his untiring energy in
bringing to justice violators of the law.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Disease With a Thousand Symptoms.—
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all linm.-n
ailments. It3 symptoms are almost infinite in
their variety, and th* forlorn and despondent vic
tims of the disease often fancy themselves the
prey, in turn, of every known malady. This is
due, in part, to the close sympathy which exists
between the stomach and the brain, and in part
also to the fact that any disturbance of tin diges
tive function necessarily disorders Ihe liver, ihe
bowels and the nervou* system, and affects, to
some extent, the quality of the blood, A medic-ins
that, like Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, not only
tones the stomach, but at the fame time controls
the liver, produces a regular habit ei body, braces
the nerves, purifies the fluids and “ ministers to a
mind diseased,” is therefore the true and only
specific for chronic indigestion. Sneli b the op
eration of this famous vegetable restorative. It
not only cares dyspepsia, but also ail concomi
tants and consequences. Moreover, it is invalua
ble as a preventive of indigestion. No one who
chooses to take half a wineglassful of this agreea
ble appetizer and stomachic habitually three times
a day will ever bo troubled with oppression after
eating, nausea, sour eructations, or any other in
dications of a want cf vigor in the digestive and
assimilating organs. The debility and languor
superinduced by hot weather are immediately and
permanently relieved by the Bitters, and persons
who are constitutionally inclined to look ipon
life “as through a glass, darkly,” will be apt to
take a brighter and more hon. ful view of the sit
uation under the genial influence of this whole
some medicinal stimulant.
A Stitch in Time Save? Nine.— lf you have
a cough, don’t neglect it; thousands go to an un
timely grave bv neglecting what they call “a
Blight cold.” These slight colds are very insidi
ous. They soon become deep seated and defy all
remedies. Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant will cure it.
It can be had of any Druggist.
Tcskeegee, Ala.,April 28, 1871.
Dr. Tutt : In gratitude for the benefit received
by the use ot your Expeeioiant, I do cheerfully
add my testimony to its most wonderful effect
in lelieving Asthma or Bronchitis. For several
years I had suffered dreadfully with severe attacks
of Asthma or difficulty of breathing, i was in
duced by the high recommendations given to your
Expectorant to try it, and found that it gave al
most immediate relief. It is about five months
since I began i6 use; I have used lx bottles, and
have not had an attack since. It his been a great
blessing to me: I cannot afford to be without it,
and I heartily recommend it to ail leiwons who
are at all troubled with Lung or Throst DP rases.
