price of The Advertiser was made upon a cash
basis. Our terms are two dollars in advance;
three dollars if not paid in advance. Those of
onr subscribers who have not paid, can still have
the benefit of the reduction by paying before the
middle of July.
s— — _.
Communications to The Advertiser should
be banded In by Saturday morning.
Energetic.—Bursting inflated paper bags is
the way a certain dry goods clerk on the opposite
side of the street, engages his time.
A Call. —Mr. E. T. Pound, of the Barnesville
Gazette, gave us a fraternal call ou last Friday.
The Gazette is in a flourishing condition, and Its
worthy editor is happy.
Storm.—On last Tuesday evening Forsyth was
visited by one of the mo3t damaging storms of the
season. The damage done to up lands and the
crops generally, cannot be accurately estimated.
Tax Case. —We understand that the Tax case,
which was carried to the Supreme Court by the
Tax Collector, has been continued until the July
Term, on account of the diminution of the record.
•
Streets. —In behalf of the pedestrians of For
syth, we tender thanks to the Town Council for
Improvements on the streets. We hope in a few
days to announce the commencement of work on
the Cemetry.
,t< ,
A Difference. —One and one half per cent, dis
count is equal to 22% per cent, interest, and 2%
per cent, discount is equal to 43 per cent, interest.
The rule is anew one, yet it obtains in financial
transactions.
A Good Paper.— We have received a copy of
the lowa Homestead and Western Farm Journal.
This is a splendid paper, and we recommend it to
the Patrons of Husbandry, as it is the official
organ of that body.
Real Estate bale.— The Committee appointed
by Strict Observance Lodge F. A. M., for the
purpose of disposing of the Masonic building and
grounds, have sold the same to Mr. B. M. Hat
horn, who will erect at an early day a handsome
residence on the lot.
A Change. —Mr. M. Soloman has rented the
large store room of Mrs. Morse, and will move
his stock as soon as the room is completed, which
will be at an early day. This is a fine location, and
Mr. 8. with his vim and business tact should
make the change profitable.
Franco Bozarris. —A correspondent ot the
Barnesville Gazette, under the abo \a non de plume,
jokes us right lively. We give the gentleman fair
notice if that business is not stopped, we’ll pub
lish some very interesting billet-doux's over his
sign manual.
Hilliard Institute.— Mr. R. G. Anderson, one
of the very worthy and competent principals of this
school, informs us that the spring term will close
on next Friday. It is proposed to have a general
review of the classes on next Thursday and Fri
day, when it is hoped all the patrons of the Insti
tution will be present. .
In Town. —The “ travelling correspondent” of
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger, spent the
Sabbath of last week in our town. We regret
that our religious proclivities debarred us the
Vary great pleasure of meeting the talented and
clever editor in our sanctum. We hope the next
time Mr. Jones visits our town he will select a
day more proper for social communions.
Greer Tried.— We understand that Greer was
arralgued and tried before Judgo Hopkius at Ea
touton last week. The counsel for the defendant
Introduced no evidence, and the jury returned a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter. Judge Hop
kins sentenced the prisoner to twenty years im
prisonment in the penitentiary—the highest pun
ishment prescribed for the crime.
Ordination.— On Sunday la6t, 22d, at the Col
ored Baptist church, in this place, Esquire Proctor
was act apart hy ordination to the office of Dea
con. A sermon was preached by Rev. N. A.
Horuady appropriate to the occasion.
The Rev. E. M. Amos and Jno. A. James, pas
tor In charge, participated iu the ordination oeri
rnonies. Two other applicants were rejected for
the want of sufficient moral character.
Monument.— What has become of the move
ment to erect a monument in memory of the fall
en Confederate soldiers? We earnestly invoke
our ladies to take the matter under consideration
and not allow the project to fail.
The erection of a handsome marble monument
ou the campus of the Monroe Female College, with
the names of all the soldiers of the county who
fell in the war inscribed upon it, would be an
honor to our commnnity and a tribute of respect
to our gallant dead, eminently proper and right.
Southwest Georgia.— Mr. Geo. M. Rhodes,
who has Just returned from an extended tour in
Southwest Georgia, Informs us that the cotton
crops is quite small, and by no means promising.
The grass has grown so large and thick that It will
necessarily ruin the stands to clean it out. Many
planters have been forced to abandon large quan
tities of cotton. The caterpillar has made Us ap.
pearanoe and the gravest apprehensions are enter
tained of the results. Corn looks very fine, but it
is feared that a severe drought will cau;e Us com
plete destruction.
Findlay Brothers —We noticed at the Fair
in Macon last week, a number of new settees,
manufactured by the above named firm. These
settees are very handsomely finished, and will
doubtless be used extensively when they are fully
introduced iu the market, for porches, verandahs
and summer houses. These gentlemen also had
ou exhibition anew and novel cast Iron arrange
ment to be used around the edges of flower beds
in place of brick or bottles. This useful ond or
namental work is so constructed as to be placed
around beds of any shape. We did not learn the
name, nor could we obtain a minute explanation
gf its advantages, etc. The large number of arti
cles exhibited by these enterprising gentlemen,
shows evidence of enterprise and vim not usually
■el with.

Spiritualistic.
WONDERFUL MANIFESTATIONS.
Through the influence of some unknown and
mysterious power, the renowned spiritualistic
medium, Robert Bonner, made his appearsnee in
our quiet town on last Thursday. The news
spread as rapidly as the leaping, livid flames upon
the bosom of a western prairie, attracting large
crowds of the curious and superstitious. The
strangeness of his advent and the startling repre
sentations of hiß wonderful and mysterious con
nection with the inhabitants of spirit-land, excited
many with exp ectations of seeing ghost and
hobgoblins But Bonner, indignant at the ap
pearance of a crowd whom he thought would
mock and derldelhis high and holy calling, pre
emptorially declined to subject the spirits to a
public insult.
By arrangement the distinguished sojourner
agreed to assemble with a private and select party
of ladies and gentlemen at a private residence, and
then
COMMUNICATE WITH THE SPIRITS,
and demonstrate the existence of his wonderful
powers.
At nine o’clock, p. m., the parly assembled,
when a few pieces of beautiful ana sublime music,
from a band of eublunary angels, wooed and won
the attendance of the incorporeal wanderers. Bon
ner, with the majestic mien of an
IRON MAN ON A CITT PUMP,
announced the presence of a white-robed spirit
who desired to communicate with a handsome
young man. A few moments of suspense and the
invisible ones made their presence known by dis
tinct raps, then table* moved about, chairs tumbled
over, the lighted lamps grew brilliant and fl ick
ered unmeaningly.
These manifestations, so wonderful and inex
plicable, sent from the Hushed cheeks of that dis
mayed party, the life blood leaping and rushing
to its silent heart-homes. Wrapt in the contem
plation of this sublime scene. Bonner stood with
folded hands and uplifted eyes, and under the
inspiration of some unseen power, called for mu
sic, instantly unseen fingers rattled upon the keys
of the piano, and strains of tte richest and most
melodious voices floated upon the air. The party
abandoned the house with contusion. Time,
space and conscience requires this notice to stop.

White Lead.—A large lot pure and fresh at
mayl3.tf McCommon & Banks.
The Bibb Countt Fair.— The Bibb County
Fair, held at Macon on last Thuisday and Friday,
was a grand success. The attendance was aston
ishingly large, and the extensive and splendid va
riety of articles exhibited reflects great credit
upon the people of that county. This reunion
and comparison of the joint products of mind and
labor, will necessarily excite a spirit of noble ri
valry and emulation, which will result beneficially
to all.
The most exciting and amusing incident of the
occasion, that we witnessed, was that of a “ baby
show.” Ten happy and confident mothers, en
tered as many babies. The committee of arrange
ments found much difficulty in getting judges, as
no gentleman who was acquainted with the doting
mothers would consent to incur their displeasure.
Finally a committee of strangers were selected,
among whom we saw our friend and fellow towns
man, W. A. Pye, who, in an unguarded moment
and with a reckless desire to have justice done,
consented to act. The committee found “ one
baby to be the finest.” They also found, to their
utter dismay and astonishment, nine disappointed
mothers. Our friend, having tiansacted all bis
business in the city, kept out of the way of all
curiou3 observers and left on the first train.
To Planters. —Forty dozen Planter’s Hoes for
sale, wholesale and retail, at
apl22.t/ Bramblett fe Bp.o’s
Intkndant’s Court. —The Littlejohn brothers
appeared to defend the charge of keeping a disor
derly house. The evidence submitted clearly dis
closed the fact that there had been some most in
famous conduct carried on about the premi
ses of the accused, although Robert Washington
(col.), whilst ou the witness' stand, delivered a
portion of a very eloquent and edifying disquisi
tion on the passions and prejudices of the human
mind, which sometimes warp the Judgment of of
ficials. His Honor held that the point was not
well taken, but casually remarked that a continu
ation of his conduct might create the necessity o f
Marshal Greer’6 seating the aforesaid Robert upon
his very handsome No. 9’s and lifting him cut of
the window. At this remark a bland and winning
smile spread gently over the face of the Marshal,
for it brought up scenes of other days. At this
point in the proceeding, his Honor announced his
determination to enforce the ordinances in the
future, without regard to persons’ “condition,
race or color,” and that the offenders should pay
$lO and costs. All of which actious and doings
the aforesaid defenders thought was contrary to
good conscience and manifestly tended to reduce
the amount of cash on hand.

Important Meeting.— There will be a meet
ing of the stockholders of The Monroe County
Purchase and Loan Association in the Court
house, on Tuesday, July Bth, 18T3, for the pur
pose of adopting a constitution and by-laws, and
organising the Association, if the stockholders
think best, at that time. A full attendance is re
qusted. Books of subscription can be found at
the offices of the following firms: W. L. Lampkin

Jno. A. Danielly; Willingham & Dunn, and Geo.
A. Cabaniss.
We understand that about 600 shares of the
stock has been taken, and all will be in a few
days.
Alumnae —The Alumnium Association havede.
tsrmined to have a festival and an address during
the commencement exercises of Monroe Female
College. A business meeting of the association
will he held on next Monday evening at 4 o’clock,
in Pye’s Hall. A full attendance is requested.
Cotton Blooms.— Capt. C. F. Gibscn sends us
a lot of cotton blooms.
The colored employee, who brought them, de
liberately states that “ Mas. Frank has got about
twenty acres of a leetle of the best cotton that
ever grew on Monroe county grit.”
State Fair.— We call the attention of our ag
ricultural friends io the splendid premiums oflered
by the State Agricultural Society, at the Macon
Fair, to be in October next. A premium of one
thousand dollars will be given to the county,
through its agricultural club, for the “ largest aud
best display, la merit and variety, of stock, prod
ucts aud results of home industries, all raised,
produced or manufactured In the county.” There
is no ieason why this premium should not be
taken by Monroe county. We hope the pride of
our citizens and the former prestige ot our coun
ty will not be allowed to suffer by a failure to
enter the contest. The entry for the premium,
mast be made by the county, at the convention to
ho held in Athens, during the month ot August.

Forsyth.
About a decade of years since a savant of the
“Central City,” while pasting through our vil
lage, pronounced the irrevocable decree, “that
Forsyth was the only finished town In the United
States—that the Bound of the hammer had not
been beard in her borders for yeare.” And at the
time there seemed to be some feasibility in the
remark.
Bat now how changed!! “ Tempora mutantur,
tt mtUamur cum illis." War, considered abstract
ly, is a national calamity ; but to us, inscrutable
at the time, it often proves a harbinger to pros
perity. Cuflee, freed from the manacles of servi
tude to the white man, is forced by destiny, in the
course of events, to servitude to himself and fam
ily. In which capacity he best contributes his
quota to the surnmum bonum of this world’s crea
tion, let time, chance and the idle hundreds
around the street corners determine. Give us
him uninfluenced, and we can make him a great and
useful element in the agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing interests of our great country.
But Forsyth, our devoted little village, undevel
oped iu the past, has received an impetus from
the intelligence and invincible energy of her citi
zens, which will in the future place her a proud
rival among the growing and beautiful villages of
the South. Situated upon the dorsum of the
healthful eminence that pervades the State from
Macon north, she enjoys the salubrious air ot the
Ailegauies upon the West, and the influence of
of the spicy and refreshing breezes of the Atlantic
upon the East. Sunounded by a country whose
soil is susceptible of the very highest degree of cul
tivation, her streets team in the fall, winter and
spring, with the products of the hardy yeomanry,
which render her the busy mart of a large portion
of the garden spot of Georgia. A million of green
backs put in circulation by the crops of her sur
rounding country, give thrift, animation and en
ergy to her citizens, iu the effort of a general
distribution. The tinkling trowel and busy din
of the architect now enliven the northern and
western sides of our public square, and soou
through the energy of Pye, Head, Lampkin, Ho
gan and a host of indomitable spin's, her burnt
district will scon present fronts of beautiful
structures, that will compare favorably with any
city of the South. Oar Colleges, both Male and
Female, under the guidance ot such educators as
Scott and Asbury, are quietly, jet steadily, prepar
ing material to fill the important places of
Church and State, and to decorate, charm and
bless the firesides of our future homes. Our
churches, beautiful, well conducted and well at
tended, diffuse a moral tone throughout the en
tire community. Our young men intelligent, ro
bust and industrious, our young women chaste as
Diana, beautiful and accomplished as Minerva,
and our citizens peaceful, prosperous and happy.
Under such auspices a healthier, happier home,
to the health aud home seeker, cannot be found
under the canopy of a Southern sky. *
County Correspondence.
Editor Advertiser: As the time is approaching
when the voters of Monroe county, will be called
upon to decide whether they will all keep up
their stock, aud support them from their own
farms, or will allow them to depredate upon their
neighbors, and by so doing increase the loss of
stock, pay lawyers fees, and live In continual
broils and disturbances with friends. We ask
them to seriously consider the matter Who
doss not know that one-fourth of the rails neces
sary to fence the whole farm, will enclose a good
pasture. If labor, money and time can be saved,
which certainly can be, why is it that any one
should oppose the adoption of the fence law I
Surely the man having no lands will not vote
agaiust the law, when it entails upon him more
labor and expense. If the man who has no
lands is forced to rent, certainly it would be more
to his advantage to have pastures, than to be com
pelled to keep up all the fencing around the
lands rented, aud in addition to this, save money
aud much hard feelings between neighbors.
From my observation tne most bitter opposi
tion comes from men who own no lands ; well,
my God, why so ? Will the man without lands
say that he wants the benefits of h ! s neighbors
laud without pay * Certainly this would not be
right. I think it is as much to the interest of
the man who has no lands as one who owns thou
sands of acres, to adopt the fence law. 1 cannot
see any difference.
In conclusion, permit me to tay, that I do hope
aud trust that we shall all see our interests alike.
Every cue knows that it is impossible to get labor
to have fencing done, or the farm products
worked. Why then not evade all this by voting
“ No Fence ?”
A Strange One.
Editor Advertiser: As the farmers of Rocky
Creek have been making “ brags” about their fine
crops; to show you that they are not ahead of
other parts of the county, I send you some cotton
measuring 3J4 feet high, with blooms, which ap
peared on the 19 th ; also, & stalk of corn, 11 feet
high, with two well-formed ears aud five shoots.
While we concede that there is some fine
farmers living about Rocky Creek, yet we are not
prepared to admit that they are the best in the
county. Tobesofksb.

If the sympathy and condolence of friends
could alleviate the distress of fond parents at the
sudden bereavement they are thus called on to
mourn, they would not be long bowed in grief.
The loss of a child, under any circumstances, is
an affl icticn which wrings the stoutest heart, but
to lose the dearest object of one’s affection with
out warning, and snatched away by the hand of
death when thought, but a few hours before, to
beiu full health is a blow which no stoicism can
receive with resignation, and none but the pure
Christian can reconcile with the workings of a
Merciful Father. From a heart warm with sym
pathy for our friends io their affliction, we offer
all the condoleucc which human friendship or
sympathy can give. —Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman.
Don’t Go to Texas. —We have been permitted,
by Mr. Geo. M. Rhodes, to make the lollowlDg
extract from a letter written by Judge D. H.
Pope, formerly of Atlanta, now residing at Sher
man, Texas: “ Tais is a splendid landed country;
but my advice is lor all who have good homes in
Middle Georgia, to stay on them.”
This advice, coming irom a gentleman of great
intelligence and extensive observation, should be
weighed well by those who think they can better
their condition by emigrating West. Middle
Georgia is the finest country on the earth, and
the person who thinks he can find a better, will
find to his sorrow, as others have done, that he
is mistaken.

a very floa dry goods business during the sea

length by 22 feet in width, Mr. Wolfe has been
enabled to arrange his large stock of goods with
mnch attraction and beauty. He is a yonng man
of fine business qualifications, and with hit suc
cess for the last few years, we predict that he will
attain a prominent position among our leading
business men in a short time.
The Atlanta Herald haa this sensible and
pertinent remark: “The Savannah Advertiser
contains a very ugly fling at the News, in a late
issue, in regard to the difference between the
Printers’ Union and News. A strict attention to
their own business, it strikes us, would stand the
Advertiser men in better stead than such ques
tionable work. Estill knows more about a news
paper in a week than they do in a year?”

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Medicinal Poisons on the Wane.— The pa
triarchs took no mercury, no bismuth, no iodine,
no bromide of potassium, no strychoria. no qui
nine. Happy old gentlemeu ! they did not even
know of the existence of these “specifics," and
and yet they lived as if Death had forgotten them.
Their medicines were herbs and roots. They have
left this fact on record, and the world seems to be
now taking note of it and returning to the first
principles of medication. Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters, the purest aud most efficacious vegetable
restorative of the day, is also the most popular.
Thousands of persons who only a few years ago
believed implicitly in all the poisons which figure
iu the pharnaaccspia, now pronounce this palata
table tonic and alterative an all-sufficient remedy
for dyspepsia, nervous debility, constipation, bil
ious complaints, headache, intermittent fevers,
and all the ordinary disturbances of the stomach,
the liver, the discharging organs and the brain.
Tiie time is not far distant when most of the pow
erful aud venomous drugs now so recklessly admin
istered by practitioners of the “ heroic” school, in
cases tbut might easily be controlled by milder
treatment, wi.l be utterly discarded by all philo
sophical physicians. As it is, the thinking pub
lic, who aie generally ahead of the professionals,
have already put the dangerous preparation aside
and adopted Hostester’s Bitters in their stead as
a sale aud excellent household medicine, adapted
to almost every ailment except the organic and
and deadly contagious diseases. For more than
twenty j'ears this famous restorative and prevent
ive haß been annually strengthening its hold upon
the public confidence, aud it now takes the lead
of every advertised medicine manufactured in this
country.
To Kansas and Colorado.— During the sum

of the Parks of the Rocky Mountains.
Kansas, with its broad and fertile plains, is di

ether Western States aud Territories, is reached
by the Missouri Pacific Railroad aud its connec

The Texas connection of this road is now com
