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.

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. Chami'aign ! Champaign !!—Pure and spark ling, fresh from the Tokay Vineyard, N. C. at mayl3.tf McCommon & Banks. 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 <Jfc Cos.; Dan. G. Proctor <fc Cos.; Ponder & Ham; Mobley <fc Cabaniss; Clower & Culpepper; Mc- Common & Banks; L. Wolfe; Bramblett & Bro.; 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. \ arnishes— For Coach Bodies, etc., at mayU.U McCsmxo* * Banks. 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.

Died. —On the lfi'.hinst., of cholera infantum Sali.ie Lupmkin, infant daughter of W. L. aud Susie Jett, aged 4 months and 20 days. 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. Superior Lot of White Goods in great varie’y. junt24.tf John A. Daniellt. Read.— The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of Messrs. I. H. Hall & Cos., of Charleston, S. C. This firm has been long aud favorably known to the building community of that city, and are now prepared to furnish from their Builders’ Emporium, articles in daily de mand, such as Doors, Sa.-hes, Blinds, Hardware, White Pine, Fancy Lumber Flooring, Boards, etc. Ihey are also agents for Asbastes Roofiug, Felt and Lining—an excellent substitute for Shingle 9, Tin acd Lath.

Wolfe. —A careful examination of the large and extensive business of the above named mer chant, disclosed the fact that he has been doing a very floa dry goods business during the sea son. With a store room measuring 100 feet in 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?” A Pittsbubg coroner makes no charge when he sits on a young man who parted his hair in the middle.

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.
