Surely there can t r but little more of this money now in cticulatlou. We propose, in a tew we* ks, to give the full amount of county money luuded and burnt to date. V Mod AO Squaw. Our town was thrown iuto some confusion and excitimeut a lew evenings siuce by the appearance of a straiige-lookiug individual on our streets, dressed in what seemed to be the | arapharualia of a Modoc Squaw. Ihe beads, ted ribbon, fancy feathers, and red stripes about the nose, all gave signs that “ the thing” was a veritable Modoc. . Macon Enterprise.— This paper announced ou last Saturday a change iu its editorial and business management. Capt T. O. Jacob, our fellow-townsman, becomes associate editor, uud will have full control of its business and financial management Uudei its new management, the pspar will doubtless ride iuto public favor, and become a success. .. .... .♦ G keen. —A young man walked iuto our sanctum last week and asked what we paid for work, we told him, very frankly, sometimes money but more freqneutiy in notes or accounts.

A Good Show ins —Through the kindness ol our polite and efficient railroad ageut, Mr. Jao. W. Lake, we learn that from the Ist ol September to the 24th of May, tLU year, there has fcetu re ceived and shipped from Forsyth nine thousand five Lundred and fifty bales of cotton. From the Ist ot January to the 24ih of May—about five months—tbere ha o beau paid thirty-seven thou sand seven bundled (#37,700) dollars for freights received here.

E.\ Sir Tbom&3 W Charier. A National Bank —We call attention to the suggestion mide to-day, by our correspondent Progress, in reference to the organization ol a Farmers’ or National Bank. We think the sug gestion a good one, and Wdow that it has bren discussed heretofore very freely. We have two hanks owned and conducted by clever and accom modating g( ntlemcn, but Irom what information we can gather they are overrun with business and find it difficult to supply ail the merchants aud farmers of this and adjoining counties with all the accommodation they desire. In view of this fact, and for many other reasons, we thiDk the moveuD-n not only feasible but commendable. -a. ■ Convenient .—Eddy Calloway, who, by the way Is one of the cleverest boys in Georgia, and who has recently been promoted to the office at the National, kueps a large demijohn of cool, Ponce de Leon spring water setting on the table in the office tree for the benefit of the guests of the house, and those who desire to drink it. Ed. is fast gaining public attention and favor by his quiet and pleasing address.— Atlanta Son The mat y Iriends of “ little” Eddie, here, will he glad to learn that he is succeeding so well. Important Cask. —The motion on the part Cf the < xecato rs of the witi of Jno. Wocteu, in the Court of Ordinary, to propound it in solemn ferm, hss bean met by a caveat on the part of Floyd Wooten, a eon of Jno. WooUn, who wus left nothing under the terms and stipulations of the will. The grounds upou which the caveator bused the charge of its nullity is, the incapability of the testator, aud fraud aud undue!, lluenoe. This case promises to he one of interest, as the estate is worth some fit teen or tweuty thousand dollars. Sinco writing the above we understand the case has bet n settled. .a. Tub Fence Question.— We agree with our correspondent, J. G P., that it may be a very inconvenient time for an election to be held, and that a vote to be on the question ol lence or no lence ought not to be had; but iu behalf of the Ordinary de ire to say that he bar no option iu the premises, and cannot potlpoue the election. The law require* that wlieu a petition, signed by titty freeholders, asking for the bent lit of the law has been filed in hi* efflee, unle.-s said petition is met by fifty other freeholders opposing the law, etc., he is compelled to order an election on the first Monday in July. The fcToiM on Thursday.— From parties re siding in the lower part of the county, we learu tbut the fUorm of Thursday evening did much damage to the crops, fences and woodland. The sto m covered an ana of about three miles in width, and txtended about seven miles. It is thought tl at the stoim extended into Bibb county, and did some and mage, to what extent, however, w e are uot advised. Dedication. King David Lodge, F. A. M., number 139, will he dedicated on the 24th day of June. David Irwlne, Gland Muster of Masons in Georg’a will he pies> nt and officiate. The ledge is located at Hamah Church, in lted bone district. All the neighbouring Lodges are in vited to attend. . .... ♦ # ♦ ■ Heavy Rain* —Dr. T. B. Weaver informs us that a vety heavy and damaging rain tell in the neighborhood ot Kamati i Lurch, on last Thurs day. It pr iLah’.y did more darnagu to crops and the liill-.-ide lands, limn any rain that lias lalleu for a uutubei of years. A Supposed Murderer Caught.— Vir. L. B. Alexander at rested one Isom Scott, colored, ou last Thursday, about five miles south ot Forsyth, it i* thought that he is the negro who uiurdcied a Mr. Mason, in Lee county, lust Fall. Notice —Capt. 'l'. O. Jacob, now one of the editors of the Macon Daily EnterpiDe, wits he Pi Forsyth every Saturday, to attend to his law business. Occupation. What a giotious thing for the human in ait! Those who work hard -eldom yield to fancied < r real sot row. When grief sits down, folds its hands, Slid lUf Urntlllly tends upon its own fears, weaving the dim shadow that a little extrtiiu might rweep a Way to the funeral pall, the strong spirit is shorn ot Us might and sorrow becomes our nia-ter. When Double (lows upon you, dark and heavy, toil not with the waves, and wrestle uot with the torrent; rather seek by oc cupation to divert the dark watt rs that threatened to overwhelm yon with a thousand channels, which the duties of life always present. Before you dream of it, those waters will fertilize the present, and give birth to fresh flowets, that will become j tire and holy iu the sunshlue which pen etrates to the path ol duty, in spite of every ob stacle. Grief, after all. Is hut a selfish feeling; and most selfish is the mau who yields lilm.-elt to the indulgeuce of any passiou which b:ings no joy to his fellow man. Forstth, Ga., June 2J, 1873. Editor Mon roc Advertiser: It seems to be be lieved by many farmers residing near Eorsnh, that there is in force a “town law” lotbidding them the right ol *ale and delivery of fresh meals, aud other products of the farm, within the in corporate limits ol the town. For the benefit of all concerned, I here atate (as a member of the Board ol Town Council) thatihere is uo law forbidding the producer selling any article produced by the seller (as Iresh meats, etc. Irom farms cultivated by himself or herself, at auy hour of the day, in any quantity desired, and at as high or low price as may seem right and proper to parties in interest. There is a “town law” forbidding anyone from buyiug and seliiug the same within the in corporate limit* of the town except by permission ot Town Council. J. M.

Forstih —Mention hereto or , Mr Editor, in your columns ha* beeu male o* >hc lour store rooms and a bankii.g office, w.tn elegant cellars for each, and a hotel to be erec-ed by Messrs. B. Pye A Son during the present summer and tall, which is now under con 1 fact ted ground for same has been broken aud material is now being placed upon the ground, near cite of the building for erection, etc. . It i* uow the purpose of the writer hereof to notice other buildings soon to be under way, of which, in all probability, the Pre*s Associatioß meetings and your atteu lance ou the Governors’ Canal Convention has not permitted you to be so well ioiormed, or if so, you have not had an op portunity to place them before your rsad rs. Mrs. Anna Morse has also had ground broken and materials are now being placed upon her grounds for the erection of two stores, each of eighty feet in depth; the first story in front ol each of these stores will be principally doors and win dows, with a show ot eight inch wobden columns betweeu each door and window, which, when completed, will present an appearance of iron or sand stone trouts. Messrs. Pyes’ building and that of Mr*. Motse w ill be located on the west side ot the Court-house square and front east. The toimer will be cov ered with slate, aud the lafer, it uot covered with aisle, will be covered with tin, and the two luild- Ings will occupy ine entire burnt district, ou that side of the Court-house square, consumed by the fire which occarred last December. ctive preparations are going on, materials are being collected, and agreements have beeu en tered Into, which insure, almost beyond a contin gency, that our community and the public at large shall not much longer have standing, and staring them in the lace, the old eye-aores known as the “Ward Corner” aud the “Shoe Shop,” both lo cated on the north side of the Court-house square, aud which the tire fitnd has persistently refused to lend a triendly, helping hand to demolish. These eye-sores are to be torn away try the steady hand ot man, and those who knew and recogn xed them a* eye-sores will know them no more as such. Mr. Jell. Hogan, who form- ly owned the “shoe shop,” has sold au * qaal iutelcst iu the ground* of the same to Messrs. W. F. Gibson and B. M. Uat horn; and troia these grounds tt e gentlemen named will tear away the old wooden rookery, aud erect upon it three stores, each eighty li et in d> p li, fronting the Court-hou e auil the Sou Ji. As I write Ihe mechanics in the employ of our very clever and euterprsing hardware aud home turui.-blug merchants, Ihe Messrs. Brainolett A hro., are making the axe, th saw and the hammer ring, tearing awi*y one ol the wooden rockeries ou the “Ward Corner” (and ihe tnaiu buiidiug ou that c <rner, it is sincere y hoped, will soon share the same late). Messrs. B. A Bio. have (.ought all the building* on the premia. * aud a sufficient quail tity of the ground, and are vigorously at work pre paring to erect upon it ar. elegant store on the corner, lor their own occupancy, eighty teet in depth, troßting the Court-house and the south All of which argues any thing else, than that the town of Forsyth is “a finished town.’’ Ou the contrary we confidently hope auu expect that not many days ot the mouth of June will pas* before our enr* ahull be greeted with such sound* as emanate Horn (whin rightly used) the axe, saw, hammer and trowel, mingled with w hich will come the cry ol “more u:on” irom the builders all along the uorth and south snks ot our public square, which will forever dispel the idea, it ever entertained in the mind ol uny one, that For yih is finished. Two txteueiv* brick yards are uow oeiug quite successfully worked near town, ami are tu niug out spleudid brick for the buildings uuiu.d, and wheu these ten store*, e'e , are completed, which is ex pected by tail or early winter, how changed will the appearance ol For yth be, (specially wheu tLiu libeial and extensive improvements of the pant five year* are also considered. The Causes of the growth and improvement of Forsyth are many, and are substantial. 1 bh.il enumerate a tew of '.lie leading oner: First, I attribute the improvements of Foray:h to the neive and determined (flirts aud energy which exist among onr .usiuessimn generally, whereby residents iu teiri'.ory, whose busine** Forsyth should have bad, but owing to the leth argy then existing did not have, but have uow ob tained it in pail, cau, as they have done, and do uow, compete with oilier mar.ee s’ time, Drills and pilees, and as to liiendrhip aud coidia iiy in social and business m ereonrses, no place ever en joyed greater. Ah From the energy, court*ay and b isin ss ta. t ol F. raj(h’s bu. iuex* m- li, aided by &nme aud count, nauced by many more of her friends, h .s spi u g the issuance. “ Cliy Council o Forsyth''currency, wuhwhiel our school properly has been bought aid ( x'.ei - eiVely re nailed, and pb ce i in .-u na condition as to (ilicieucy ol itistrucli in an.l good ppeara.iee ol the buildings themselves, mat imrc is n.d a good citiz n who looks u o- the pr.peily ut.d think* ol Ihe good results of In- Iwo m'li ioD uow in our midd, bat wi h gie l joy an.l piide. Again with this “City Gouueii ol For yia" cur rency, ibis writer knows that onr merchants have beeu aceon. mods ted in Bank to iuud . that o'ler wi-c would not have been done; anl thus, t .<, our iarnivr li lends have tutu either, or both, ac commodated with cash and supplies on time that otherwise wou and not have been tarnished, in ail probability. 3d. in like manner, the charter aud organiza tion, and working of the Mou/ue County Buiid ina and Loan Association, has been eflected. The good, beneficial and su! s'anlial results of its work is seen aod felt in our midst. There is nw busines* lor many who have watched and probaoiy envied 111* steady improvt meut of Forayth ihe past hx years, and desired to come. To ail snch w e would say there is room for you, aud you are wanted. Get up the nerve to come, and come along and assist in swelling the population, improvement, commcrc -and pros perity of Forsyth. Your presence, aud a char tered Bauklng institution Forsyth must uud will have. There has uot been any time in ihe past two years, but that a banking capital ul two hun dred thousand dollars would have paid well in addition to the capital and business of the two banks then and now here. Ido not mean to say that two hundred thousand dollars should be the capital of the bank—ary Its* amount e.m be well maniged—and the basinet,* ot neUtier banks uow doing business should even wilt under the in creased banking capital desired. It is we 1 known that many farmers in ihe tuiroundiug country, and several business meu ot Forsyth de*ire a chartered banking Institu iou in th irtown. Then Why uot organize and arrange for commencing business iu fall or wiut. r. The time from now until then is necessary lor filling it up m running ordet - Progress. Mr. Editor: We countiy folk* try to otserve the town ordinances wheu we come to Forsyth. We tie our poor plow-horses to the racks, which we find loca id in the hot sun. Tbis is ot course, all right; yet w e do complain, when your tat, slick town horses a ie allowed to run at large, and prey upon the little corn ana fodder which we bring so isr to teed our hocs.s with Again, the horses hitched lo Ihe rack* are Very frequently iutcrlerred with, and made so breik loot-e by horses running at Dig,-.

Through the severe i AUction. wfcuh God in His providence visited upon tier, she never wa vered in her steadfast faith iu Jesus, never failed to derive comfort Irom the precious promises of His holy word, and was never without a word of encouragement lor those whose hope was less strong th .n hers. Her illuess was very long uad painful, confining her within her own doors for many months previous to her death, and her pa tience and resignation made a lasting impression on all who visited her during this trying time. She lived an exemplary Christian and died in the triumph cf faith. She felt confident that a “ crown ot life' - awaited in her home beyond the skies, and welcomed death as the end of all her troubles. Her husband aud three surviving children deeply mourn their loss, but then they have the comfort ing assurance Hat their “ loss is her cterual gaiu.” A few hours before her death, she hade her family farewell, requesting each one to meet her in heaveo, and assuring her sou that he had been the special buiden of her prayers ior months past; On the eveniug of the 23J of May, passed peaceably away, and on the following Sab ba h her remains were deposited in their las* rest ing place.
