are perfectly re! and are very sweet, with but
little acid, and greatly superior to the ordinary

Special Tax —We call the attention ot those
interested to the advertisement ot R. F. Belt, In
terna! Revenue Collector of this District. Capt.
Bell will be found, by those who have business
to transact with him, to be courteous and accom
modating.

day Stool Festival should call on R. P. Brooks, at
John A Steele’s and select some of those “hand
some and gnndy ” goodp for the occasion. Every
thing usually kept in n first class store, from a
pair of shoe strings to a polite and accc mmodntirg
clerk, can he found there.
Theft. —On last Friday a white boy about 15
years old walked Into the store of D. G. Proctor &
Cos., and quietly lifted a pair of shoes from the coun
ter that had been sold and wrapped up. The boy
gives his name as 11. T. Burruss, aud says that
bis parents reside in Fort Valley. He was ar
rested and coniiued In Jail.
Fire Engine. —We bad thought that the late
disastrous Are in our midst, would have aroused
ou the port ol our citisens at least a desire to have
a Fire Engine. As yet, however, we have heard
nothing of the matter. Would it not be well to
look Into the question and if practicable, institute
a movement in that direction.
A Stabbing Affray. —On last Friday two ne
groes, Ned Cozart and Charles (ioodrnm, living
on the plantation of Mr. Wilder, near Forsyth, got
Into a dispute as to the legal right of Charles to
Insult Ned’s wife. Charles in order to impress his
argument, inserted the blade of a jack-knife about
two and a half inches Into Ned’s right arm.
Annohnement Extraordinary,--!! is with
undisguised pleasure that we announce the depar

estly earned for himself, in a few short years, a

Jeffreys did In a long number of years. May the
distance between him and this State be as far as
the ends of the earth—and a few steps farther.

The Fsnce Question.— This question is excit
ing some discussion in the county. We have had
several communications up to this time, and we
Invite a fall and thorough discussion of the mer
its of the law through our columns. It will effect
the interests ot all In the county and should be
well understood.
Quite a flutter was created in our
town on last Saturdsy afternoon by the appear
ance of several young ladies dressed In full riding
habit and mounted on elegant chargers. We
think the ladies rode exceedingly well consider
ing how little they practice. We hope the “turned
saddle” nor “ graceful fall ” will interrupt this
mode of healthful and pleasant exercise.
Habeas Corpus.— Judge Dumas heard, on last
Friday, the petition ot Swanu Cochran, (col.)
claiming the possession of five young children.
His Honor thought that the children were ille
gally In the possession of the respondent, hat held
that Swann was not the proper person to train
them in the way they ahonld be brought up and
will therefore apprentice them.
Death of as Estimable Ladt. —Mrs. Lucinda
Amos, wife of the Rev. E. M. Amos, died in this
place on last Thursday. Mrs. Amos was fifty-five
years old, and had been an acceptable and consist
ent member of the Baptist Church for twenty
years. Though an invalid for fitteen years her
Christian and domestic duties were never neg
lected or forgotten. She bote her severe affliction
with nnnsual patience and Christian fortitude.
Through the long, wearyjyears of her untold suf
fering her virtues grew brighter and more lustrous.
By her meekness, tenderness and motherly care
she entwined around her heart the tender tendrils
of her son’s a nd daughter’s devoted love, and won
the respect and devotion of her husband. Her
presence will be sadly missed—the days will grow
long and weary without her. Her absence will
enshroud the household <n a gloom of sorrow,
bat the brightness of her virtaee and the correct
neat of her examples will light the pathway of her
sorrowing ones to a brighter goal. To the family
Whose loss has been to groat we tender onr sym

The Sabeath. —On last .Sabbath morning
the sun rose in unobscuretl splendor and love
liness. The chime of the church Leila floated
With unwonted sweetness upon the blithe
some breezes, reminding all ol the wonderful
creations and infinite goodness of the omnipo
tent One. The day was devoted by many
to thanksgiving and prayer, by others to
the pursuit of pleasure and gayety.
At the Baptist church the Rev. Dr. Hillyer
delivered a learned and logical and : coure to a
large and appreciative audience. At night
the Doctor preached from the text, “It is I ;
be not afraid." The sermon was impressive
and eloquent, and was listened to by an at
tentive congregation.
The Rev. D. J. Mytick officiated at the
Methodist church, delivering the Memorial
Sermon of Mrs. W. H. Hardy. His remarks
were founded upon the text: “ And I heard a
voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors; and their
works do follow them." Rev. xiv. 13. The
life and character, and the probable destiny of
this Christian woman, was painted in simple
but beautiful language by the preacher; and
he frequently, through the progress of his
sermon, grew eloquent and sublime in con
templating the rewards and unalloyed bliss
and glory of a Christian spirit, redeemed from
the meshes of these cares and sorrows.
At night the Rev. W. H. Hardy delivered
to the congregation a very affecting discourse.
A Successful Business. —There are proba
bly but few of our local readers familiar with
the enterprise and progress of the merchants
of our town. Asa whole, we believe there is
no place in middle Georgia of the same size
that possesses more financial brains and
shrewd business tact than Forsyth. Promi
nent among the most successful stands the
name of Benier Pye. Learning a few days
since that he was doing a considerable whole
sale jobbing business in dry goods, and be
lieving the report to be untrue, on Saturday
we walked into his store room, when the fol
lowing facts were elicited:
Reporter—Mr. Toney : I am told you are
! the chief clerk in this department.
Mr. T.—l am, sir.
I Reporter—ls it true that you sell goods by
j the wholesale ?
Mr. T.—My duties forbid that I should dis
! elose any of my business transactions to any
| one except Mr. Pye.
Reporter —Please say to Mr. Pye that I
: would like to see him.
Reporter—Mr. Pye do you sell goods by
the wholesale?
Mr. Pye—l do, sir; goods are shipped in
quantities to several inland counties adjoining
this.
Reporter—How can you compete with the
Atlanta and Macon markets?
Mr. Pye—l advertise, sir, to duplicate all
Atlanta and Macon bills, and do it. And this
is the “idea," sir; my clerks are cheaper,
taxes are not so heavy, rent is less, insurance
less, my goods are purchased in New York
markets for cash, freights are but a Iraction
more, I take less risks, and can consequently
compete in prices with the above cities.
Reporter—l confess your reasons are plaus
ible, but alter all, don’t you lose money ?
Mr. Pye—When I do, sir, you will see the
red flag hung out, myself upon a hogshead,
and the highest bidder can take my goods. I
pursue no business that does not pay me.
Reporter—What amount of goods have
you sold since the first of March, and what
did they cost you ?
Mr. Pye—l (rather warmly) attend to my
own bnsiness, and find that it pays; if you
have any, probably it would pay you to adopt
the same rule—at least your services are not
wanted to look after mine. Do you under
stand that idea ?
With this axiomatic truth cast in our ears
like “rounding brass and tinkling cymbals,"
we pensive, wandered along, a wiser if not a
happier man.
Special Tekm of the Superior Court. —Tfiis
Court was organized on yesterday morning by
Judge Hail. The following U a list of the Grand
Jurers empannelled:
Tho 9. B. Williams, foreman; J. T. Redding,
J. B. Holland, T. G. McGowan, S. W. Proctor,
W. C. Lockett, T. F. English, A. D. Tingle, J. M.
Hollis, C. O. Goodwyne, W. C. Kicker W. W.
Jackson, Benj. Bush, Juo. C. Poe, E. B. Taylor, L.
A. Ponder, Thomas E. Chambliss, J. M. Thomas,
E. M. Mcore, E. G. McCord, 8. D. Martin, T. J.
Fletcher.
Judge Hall, in bis charge to the Grand Jury,
presented the pofnts clearly and forcibly. There
is a lance number of negroes in attendance and
much excitement prevails amongst them on ac
count of the trial of the murderers of Jim Cleve
lacd. They are anxious that the guilty parties
should be dealt wita severely.
Sine; writing the above the Grand Jury have
teturued hills against Lizzie Cleveland and Elias
Mitchell for the murder ot Jim Cleveland, and
against D. H. Burrough, (a white boy) for the of
fence ol larceny from the house. Burrough plead
guilty aud was fined fifty dollars and cost, or three
months imprisonment in jail.
The New Hotel. —On la9t Friday Mr. B. l’ye
commenced moving away the rubbish from
his burnt block, preparatory to laying the founda
tion of hi new building. This building is to be
three stories high. On the first floor will be the
banking offlee of Messrs. B. Pye & Son; adjoin
ing this will be four large store room?, measuring
twenty-four by one hundred feet. The second
story i? designed for a hotel and will contain
thirty-two rooms, a parlor, offlee, bar and read
ing room. The basement will be used entirely for
culinary purposes and connected with the dining
department in the third story by elevators.
There will be a handsome corniced parapet roof
with a splendid arabesque irontispiece in the cen
ter; around this will stand four colums supporting
four beautiful urns. This building will be the
handsomest aud costliest in onr tow,, when com
pleted.
Mr. Pye, with his own peculiar mode ol finan
ceering, (which, by the way, is always suocessful)
will make the investment remunerative. The
building will certainly be a great benefit as well
as an ornameut to our town.
Personal. —We were pleased to meet in cur
offlee, yesterday morning, Mr. Geo. H. Hancock,
the Editor of the New York Record
A Repository, one ol the very best monthlies
published in this country. Heretofore this paper
has been giving biographical sketches of distin
guished men at the North, but latterly they have
turned their attention to the most eminent men in
the South, and the next issue, which eomts ont on
the 12th, will have a portrait of the Hon. John H.
James, of Atlanta,with a sketch ot bis life. Mr. H.
proposes, in a short time to give a portrait and
ekeich of some ot Monroe’s distinguished sons.
The Crop Prospect.—\Ne have taken some
pains to see several farmers from different por
tions of the county, and have interviewed them
with the fixed purpose of ascertaining the correct
status oi our present crop prospects, and as they
yave been men cf judgment and discretion, we
think the report is correct. The young corn is
growing rapidly—finest stands in a number of yeats
—looks green and luxuriant; and it is a remarka
ble coincidence that all report the best and fresh
est land in com. The cotton is growing cicely
and there is no complaint about a sufficient quan
tity being planted. Wheat and oats look remark
ably well, and promises an abundant harvest.
A Grand Basket Picnic.—We are requested to
announce that there will be a grand basket picnic
and fishing party at McCowan’s Mill, two and a
half miles South oi Forsyth, on Tuesday, June 3d.
Everybody is cordially invited, and it is expected
that the attendance will exceed anything ot the
kind that has occurred in a long while.
The Atlanta Sun.— Tnia paper gave on the 9th
a very fine likeness of Miss Eberhart. Thia evi
dence of enterprise on the part of the Sun ia com
mendable and praiseworthy. It supplies the pub
lic with a correct paruait of a woman who baa
created no little sensation in Georgia, for a nomi
nal snm, whereas it would have coat thousands to
have obtained U la the oi dinary way.
Correspondence.
Editor Ad*erti*er: We ofler, through '.!.e sued -
am cf pour valuable journal, oar < r.agnt’.ulatioa
to Brantley’s and Red Bone Districts, and would
ask that ourDiatrict be added, to sustain the laud
able movement In ‘avor of “No Fence.’’ Agreea
ble to statistical information the advantages to be
derived are incalculable, aud its results, instead ot
being productive of mischief or ill-feeling, will
have the tfiect of establishing between neighbors
that comity (the absence of which is so much la
mented by your correspondent Bourgeois) so
much desired by all good citizens The want ot
such a permanent law Is generally the source ot
animosity at.d litigation by those who ahon'd be as
our army, engaged in a common cause.
This question has been ably uiacussed by prom
inent and intelligent planters; aLd we propose, by
your kind permission, Mr. Editor, to copy a tew
of the reasons assigned lor a departure from the
old custom, and the proposed adoption of the
new. The Rev. C. W. Howard, in a recent num
ber of tha Plantation, says:
“The evil effects ol the preseut fence law may
be thus summed cp:
“It causes a hazard ot human lite upon our
railroads.
“It impedes business, by Impeding the speed
of railroad trains. It impose j a tax ot one hun
dred thousand dollars annually upon the railroads,
and through them directly upon the people of
Georgia, who, In the end, pay it.
“It causes a large area ot laud in the older
counties to be thrown out to grow up iu briers
and useless bushes. Iu those counties there la
not timber enongb to re-feaee the plantations,
and where there .s, the negroes will not split the
rails.
“It thus greatly diminishes the taxable proper
ty ot the Btate, inasmuch as thousands of acres ot
land now useless would be brought into profitable
cultivation, if it were not for the necessity ot re
iencing them.
“The leuce tax which the land holder pays is
tenfold the amount of all other taxes paid by him.
****■*•
“The repeal of the fence law would liberate au
incredible amouut of li f e and energy among farm
ers from the depression caused by their inahililty
to work their own lauds, from want of fencing
material.
“One of the most rapid, and at the same time
economical methods of improving land, is to allow
its natural growth to fall upon it aud decay.
“ Under the existing fence lew, when a piece of
gronnd is turned out, it becomes the grazing
ground for the neighborhood. Every valuable
plant ia eaten out, the grease? are killed, and it
becomes occupied by useless bushes, which im
poverish rather than enrich the soil. This gra
zing ia a legalized theft upon the property of the
landholder.
“The existing fence law is uneonstituticnal, as
It embarrasses the property holder in the peacea
ble possession of his own property."
These points, suggested in behalf of the State at
large, are of course applicable, in some degree, to
to our county as an integral part thereof.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report
of 1871, states: “That for every dollar invested
iu live stock, another dollar is required for the
construction ol defences to resist their attacks on
farm production*. Experiment has proved that
at least half ol this expense is unnecessary.
Whertver it has been tried, wherever farm cni
mals are restrained and the owners are placed uu
der (Ante) bonds for the good behavior of their
restless dependents, the system is regarded with
general and growing satisfaction. Capital is re
leased lrom unprofitable Investment aud made
available for farm Improvement. Soiling Is en
couraged, the mannrial resources of stock hus
banded, and may be prepared for larger produc
tion and higher profit."
The cost ol fences in this State is estimated at
over forty-jive millions of dollars, aud annual repairs
at about $3,500,000.
We would respectfully direct the attention of
farmers to the consideration of these propositions,
in the hope that it may lead to .reflection, If not
conviction, ou this important subject.

Terrible Casualty.—The Cincinnati Enquirer
gives an aceount-of a t-rtib!e accident involving

says: “ lhe tile of baptism was being adminis
tered to a number of recent converts to one of
the Baptist churches here, at a point in Rock
River just below the Truesdell iron bridge. About
two hundred persons, iuelud.ng many ladies and a
number of ctildren, had gathered on the bridge
to witness the ceremony. Suddenly, without
warning, the bridge gave wy, and precipitated
the living freight into the stream Oelow. The
scene which ensued was indescribably terrible-
As the struggling victims vainly endeavored to
free themselves from the ruins ot the bridge and
trom each other, large crowds ot people on the
banks rushed wildly t j and fro. in my cf them so
distracted with terror as is be unable to render
any assistance. Others, more self possessed,
speedily brought ropes, plauks and boats and went
nobly to work to rescue the living and recover the
dead. Some of those who were on the bridge
wheu it fell were so near the end that they were
able to reach the bank without assistance, while
others were fortunately within reach ot those oa
shore. Up to 6p. m. thirty-two dead bodies had
been taken from the river, aad it is almost certain
that there are others still under the w reck cf the
bridge. Of those Eared twenty-tour were more
or lcs injured, some fatally.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Medical Blunders. — From the period when
surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead
of wounds to the present wide awake age, the
medical profession has often unwittingly taken
aide with Disease in its conflicts with the human
system. Even yet, in spite of the teachings of
centuries of experience, some physicians believe
in depleting their patients, already seriously ex
hausted by sickness, with powerful evacuauts,
emetics, salivants, cautbaridal piasters, or the
lancet. But providentia’ly, public Intelligence is
ahead of these medical fossils, wiio belong, of
right, to the era ot the Crusade? ! That powerful
ally of nature in Us warfare with the causes of
sickness, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, has opened
the eyes ol the tuasr-es to the paramount impor
tance of increasing the vital strength of the body
when menaced by disease. They understand that
when the atmospheric conditions are averse to
health, it is wi&e to reinforce the system with a
wholsome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable
it to combat and repel the depressing influence of
inclement temperature. If the constitutional and
animal powers were always thus recruited in the
presence of danger, the mortality trom consump
tion, bronchitis, chronic rheumatism, etc., woaid
be much less than it now is. The causes which
produce croups, colds, quineey, diptheria aud ca
tarrh, seldom affect a strong and vital system; and
of ail vitalizing preparations, Hostetter’s Bitters
has proved the most efficient. It is not claimed
that this standard tonic is a specific for lung and
throat maladies, as it is for dyspepsia, liver com
plaint and intermittents, but it is unhesitatingly
asserted that it is the best known safeguard
against ail the atmospheric elements of disease.
Beyond the Mississippi.— Thousands have
already gone, and thousands more are turning
their eyes toward new homes in the fertile West.
To those going to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon or
California, we recommend a cheap, safe, quick and
direct route, via St. Louis, over the Missouri Pa
cific Rai'road, which runs its fine Day Coaches
and Pullman Sleepers from St. Louis to principal
points in the West, without change. We believe
that the Missouri Pacific Railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equipment of any
road west of the Mississippi, and its connections
with roads further West are prompt and reliable.
The Texas connection of this road Is now com
pleted, and passengers are offered a first class all
rail route to Texas, either over the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas R. R., via Sedalia, or over the At
lantic and Pacific R. R., aia Vinita. For maps,
time taples, information as to rates, routes, &c.,
we refer our readers to J F. Thompson, Southern
Passenger Agent, Chattanooga, Tenn., or E. A.
Ford, General Passenger Agent, St. Louis, Mo.
Questions will be cheerfully and promptly an

Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle of poison, or any ingredient that ccnld
hurt the post delicate child.
Globe Fiowtr Cough Syrup has become, where
known, the most popular Cough Medicine in the
country, because it has successfully withstood the
three great tests of merit, viz : Time, Experience,
arid ot Competition, and remains, afttr passing
through this ordeal, the best article of its kind in
the woild.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup is pleasant to the
taste, and does uot disagree with the most delicate
