the above named firm. They employ a large num
ber ot bands in the manufacture ot harness, sad

These gentlemen offer unusual inducements to

ing term*.

male Coliege will begin on next Sabbath. Bishop \
Pierce will preach the sermon at the Chapel. '
Governor Smith, Judge Trippe and Rev. J. J.
Dixon, will be present and deliver addresses, it
is expected that a lareer number of visitor* will

it is that the programme presented is one of the
most attractive and magnificent of any in the
State. The most elaborate arrangement* are be
ing made by onr citizens for the entertainment ot
visitor* and friends of the Institution.
Acreage or Cotton, Corn and Wheat.—
Through the kindness of our very worthy and
efficient Tax Collector, Mr. W. M. Williams, we
haveobtdned the following interesting lacta,show
ing, partially,the cumber of acres of land planted
in cotton, corn and wheat in th>s county : John
sonville, 2598 acre* in cotton, 890 in wheat and
1409 in corn; Red Bone. 8426 in cotton, 591 in
wheat and 1758 in corn; Culloden, 2403 in cotton,
520 in wheat and 1723 in corn: Russellville, 2624
in cotton, 226 in when £nd 1948 in corn ; Kelsey?,
1033 in cotton, 83 in wheat and 886 in corn ; Ever*,
1377 in cotton, 179 in wheat and 653 in corn ; For
ty h, 558 in cotton, 40 in wheat and 238 in corn ;
M.ddlebrook*, 1302 in cotton, 76 in wheat ad 861
in corn ; Dillards, 14e7 in cotton, 60 in wheat and
989 in corn ; Burgays, 2175 in cotton, 205 in wheat
and 1624 in corn; Bentons, 1603 in corn, 24 in
wheat and 1336 in corn ; Unionville, 3000 in cot
ton, 593 in wheat and 1281 in corn; Proctors, 1528
in cotton, 258 in wheat and 9il in corn ; Cabaniss,
1691 in cotton, 76 in wheat and 690 in corn ; Cox*,
1455 in cotton, 87 in wheat and 938 in corn ; Brant
ley*, 2-572 in cotton, 118 in wheat and 1575 in corn.
From this data which is reliable, it appears that
tbe aggregate number of acre* of land planted In
cotton In the county, Is 30,816, wheat 2,207 and
corn 20,155. At a low estimate, with ordinary
seasons, the yield should be at least 7,500 bales ot
cotton, 17,656 bushels of wheat and 259,000 bush
els of corn
Purchase and Loan Association —We are in
formed that the movement to establish a Purchase
& Loan Association, h meeting with much en
couragement from fa: mors and merchants. The
subscription books show nearly a thousand shares
to have been taken, and the interest in the scheme
increasing. We understand the plan to be about
this: Each share w hen taken is of the nominal
value of one hundred dollars ; and upon each share
owned the stockholder is required to pay one dol
lar per week until that amount is paid, including
tbe interest accruing on the same. The business
of the Association will be managed by a President
and Beard of Directors, under the directions and
restrictions of such a constitution and by-laws as
the stockholders may adopt. When a sufficient
amount of money has been paid iu, with the in
terest accruing upon the same, it is proposed to
establish a National Bank with tb.: assets of the
Association as a basis tor operation. VVe under
stand that our bankers, merchants and many far
mers, appreciating the necessity of such a consol
idation of capital, and knowing the advantages of
such an investment, have subscribed liberally, and
are ente-ing Into the moveineut with much zeal
and earnestness. We hope nothing will be left
undone to make the scheme a success.
The Man Without an Enemy.—We believe in
the inan or woman that “has enemies.” This does
not sound sound, but is sound. Your milk and
water people, who content themselves with sim
ply doing no harm, at the same time never doiug
any good, they are merely negatives. Your man
ot force, who does not wait for a stone to get out
of his heaven appointed way, but manfully rolls
it over, may unintentionally hurt somebody’s toes
in tbe act; but thousands who will have to travel
that way will thank him for clearing it. The
men or woman who ins no enemies is generally
a sleek, creeping, cowardly creature, caring tor
no one but himself—smirking and creeping in his
unchallenged way to the obscurity he merits. He
adds nothing to the common stock—does no
good in the world, and is lowered into bis six feet
of earth without one sincere regret from any one.
lie has bad no enemies; but has be had a iriend ?
A place is vacant, but not in any warm, grateful
heart. A tig for such people!
Superior Lot ot White Goods iu great variety.

Impouta t Medical Notice.—The card of
Dr’s Roddy and Wright appears in this issue. Dr.
Roddy’s experience and the very eminent posi
tion lie occupies in the estimation ot the medical
fraternity in the State renders comment unntc
cessiry. Dr Wright ia a young man of superior
medical attainments. The advantages derived
from close and continued attendance, for several
years since the war, upon the finest Hospitals iu
the United States and Europe give him advan
tages of no ordinary character. The partnership
will doubtless meet with favor and encourage
ment.
Dogs.—We understand that the City Council
have enacted an ordinance abolishing, transport
ing and perpetually enjoining doge and their un
ceasing midnight growling and balking within the
corporate limits of our town. This movement ia
eminently proper, and wo hope the council will
see to it that the ordinance is strictly executed.
The ordinance will go into effect in a few days,
when all owners of this species of property will
be required to have bands placed around the necks
of each dog, otherwise the Marshal will have some
rare sport.

Anoi ber Step.—Onward seems to be the motto
of our County Commissioners. A few weeks
since Crowder’s Bridge was let for building at
#46s,oo—several years ago at #-00. Last Saturday
the bridge known as the Jones Bridge was bid off
for $305,00 —before at $690. This does not need
comment, or telling where such action will
lead'the county to; suffice it to say, out of debt,
money In tbe treasury, and lower taxes.

Count}' Correspondence.
CCLLODkx. Mr. Editor: Frid#y morning, July
4th, at half past four o’cioek, your correspondent
found himself actively engaged iu preparing for a
tour to tbe classic town, Culloden, where it was
proposed to spend the day, after onr arrival, and
night of 6*me day, to witness the examination
exerciaea of Culloden Academy—Capt. B. M. Tur
ner, Paineipal ; and as other citizena of Forsyth
had previously determined to join the excursion,
most of whom were familiar with Culloden, her
citizen* and those of the surrounding country.
Thi* writer wa* scaieely acq minted with any one,
and being an invited gnest, did not commit him
self to the resolve that the commercial, educa
tional and social status and importance of For
syth should be kept foremot ia hi* conversation,
walk and talk during his visit. But he made
mental reservations and determined to keep his
mouth shut as to the resolve until he had met the
citizens of Culloden. A ter a very pleasant ride,
we arrived at Culloden about half past nine, and
drew up in front of the reoidenee of one of the
magnanimous and hospitable citizens of the town,
and were received with so much welcome and hos
pitality hat we soon wished we had known them
always. We arrived at the school after the exer
cises hid commenced, our friend, Capt. Turner,
gave ns a hearty Welcome i showed us to con
spicuous and comfortable sjats. We noticed that
the most excellent and wor f hy lady principal,Mrs.
Turner, took charge ol the -.xcrc se3.
At 8 o’clock, p. m., the Academy bell vr.s
w.ung, as an announcement that the hour ol the
Senior Exhibition had arrived, and we soon found
on-selves amidst the densely packed audience to
witness the exercises of the evening, which con
sisted of music, reading—extracts and also origi
nal compositions—by the yonng ladies, and decla
mation by the yonng men.
By special request Master Jackson, aged seven
or eight years (at the conclusion of the readings
and declamation:), made bis appearance before
the footlights in his inimitable personations ot the
citizens of Cnllodeu.
The music rendered on the ceeasion by Mrs.
Brown, Lady Superintendent of the Musical De
partment of the Academy, and her clasp—so well
selected—very much entertained the audience.
Everything paßsed off with much eclat, and
certainly must have been highly satisfactory and
gratifying to all visitors, teachers and patrons.
The citizens of Cnlloden entertained their visi
tors royally, and extended so many courtesies,
this writer ia of the opinion that the commerce,
education and socialities of F orsyth was but little,
if at all discussed. One of the visitors from For
syth, engaged in a game oi croquet in the after
noon, and notwithstanding his ability to quote
from “ the book” of eroq uet, was in need of the
practical part, and was beaten every game that he
engaged in. The “heavy member” of our board
of visitors permitted his appetite to control his
better judgement, and he spent the afternoon
discussing the heat of the weather and trying to
aid nature in the digestion of entirely too much
of something good to eat—he got home “sick.”
A third member of the party devoted much time
and effort in trying to get up a mania for buggy
riding, regardless of the heat.
The remaining two visitors of our pirly went
heroically to work and rambled from residence to
residence, and from one croquet ground to anoth
er, in an effort to find a couple of young ladies
whose company might not be engaged for the
evening. We heard several ol the beaux congrat
ulating themselves at success in having obtained
the company of the young ladies—having made
engagements for one and iu same instances two
weeks prior to the occasion.
Hence in the dissipations by the party from
Forsyth, lam satisfied that the resolve referred to
in the beginning of this article, was lost sight of,
ignored and forgotten tor the time.
As the writer desires to again appear before the
citizens of Culloden, upon the subject of the vis
itors’ resolves, he will probably appear before
you iu another article next issue, or in person at
an early day. Redness.
Mr. Editor: I recon you thought I was gwine
to quit telin about my trip to Atlanty ; but I aiut
g,wiue to do aDy sich thing. I haye only biu wait
in for a more convenient seasun, an unless you
says to me in the language ov Mr. Shakespeare,
hold, enuff. I inten keepin rite od, every chance
I gets, tel I tels you all.
Well, you see that evenin, or afiernune, arter
trotiu along with that feller of high slick hat
meinerry, tel I gits to the national and meets
with Charly Luneelord and Eddy Callaway, an
turnin in tu rest for a segar, I eonkiuded I wood
ask jest I had been ust to goin to Atlanta all my
life. So I walks in tu that ar big setiu room an
tuck seat an commenced singin, “how tejus and
tasteless the hours.” I hadn't got more an half
there when Charlie cums around an hand me a
paper an axed me if I wouldn’t like to see the la
test nuse. Bertainly, says I, takin the paper out
ov his hand. I sot for sometime rtadin the ad
vertisements, an arter a while I turns the paper
over, an the furst thing I seen at the bead ova
collum was “interestin war nuse.” Bhermau ad
vansin ou Atlanta. That was enuff for me. I
lifted myself up quicker than you could snap your
finger, and told Charly to give me my carpet-bag,
as I wanted to strike for home, an be quick about
it, says I, for 1 aint got no time to spar. Thar
aiut no traiu goin to leave lor sometime, says he;
an what on the yearth is tbe matter? Mater enuff,
says I; look thar, will you, sajs I, pointin tu
what I had jest read, says I. I have seen a few
scrambles tu git away fiom Sherman’s rades be
fore, an I always than the one that started furst,
faired the best. Law sakes alive, says Charly,
buratin our in a big ha, ha. Laff. Say be, I made
a mistake, I gin you the roDg paper. That is a
sixty-four paper. I had iu my pocket inlendin tu
send it tu a friend what wanted it. When he red
that I tel you the reaction on my leelins was pow
erful. I furst felt kiuder weak. I speze from
bein so mad, but I soon cooled down an fell jest
like I was willin tu stay thar and bravely do my
part; but I reckon them same kind ol teeliDS have
been felt by a good meuy. ’Twant long arter
that tel lots ov folks began tu cuin in an arter a
while Mr. Shi, and Mr. Dumas, and Mr. Cabaniss,
an Mr. McKelin, au Mr. Locket, all cum in, an we
all had a real Jolly time. Presently the bel went
to ringin for super, then sich another rushin in. I
followed close arter Mr. Shi, an Mr. Shi an them
other* what I jest named, au wc all tack a 3eat at
the table, an several others tu at tbe same table,
then one cv them waiters cum skippin along a
stickin his bed rite up at all ovems years, an axin
ovem what tha wood have tu eat. I wanted tu
hear what tka told him tu bring, so I could no
how tn call for my dishes, but thar was sich a tar
nel clatter ov spoons au dishes, I couldent hear
my own years; an the plcgy scamp never cum tu
me tel arter he went tu ail the rest, and when he
axed me what 1 would have, I jest told him tu
bring me snmthin ov all what the others had
called for. He looked at me kinder doubtful
awhile, then off he goes, and presently cums back
an another waiter with him, an commenced putin
vittle3 tu all them other fellers, an when tha gits
tu me the Lord deliver me, I reccon yon never
seen so much vittles put down for one livin mor
tal man in all your born days; and sich a mixiry.
1 can’t name half ov it. Bat prominently there
was fried ingons, cold turnips, turkey hash, half
cooked egg* (tu me abomination), raw beef stake
(which is another abomination), an more batter
cakes than you conld pack in a half bushel. Tea,
coffee, an milk an beer, an last bat not least, was
a rotation by dish ot hopin john (which you know
is rice an peas mixed). The Lord only uose what
all tha dident set before me. I seen at wnnee I
intn it agin, bat was detarmed tu make the best
ov it I could. So I clapped tu eatin ssmthin cv
all. An went to 6npin fnrst of tea, then ov milk,
and so on tu the end of the category. Bat I soon
found thar want much divinity or affinity (which
is rite) in all that mixtry. My stnmach com
menced groin rebelions, so Iris from the table
and told them waiters they conld jest set aside
about three pecks of them vittles lor my break
fast, a* I dident never eat much for super; an it
was a pitty to waste so much vittles for nothin.
I dident more-en git out on the street before I
commenced casting np my hotel accounts. An
while lahnrin to that effect, long cuius np some
stack np lookin chaps, and one of them jest as
tha got agin me, sang oat drank agio. I thort rite
strate be iutended that for me. Says I, if anybody
is drunk it’s you, and if ycu jest cum iu rtcb ov
me I'll lick you quick. Jest say you will liquor
me, says he, and I will jtne you quick. Sick as
I was, lcouldn’t help laffiog at his ready turn of
profitable biziaess, so I sed nothin mere tu Lim;
as I had Immediately cum tu the conkiasion Unit
all, them Atlanty fellers wa* bizaess fellers, an
node how tu make a iivin. By the time 1 got
over my sick, an went back in the hotel, 1 .oued
Mr. Bhi, au Mr. Dumas, an Mr. McKinin, au all
them uther fellers dan ealin, an ready tu go back
tu Lgis.ate sum more. Tha told me ta cum along
with them, lur tha want agoin tu legislate long ;
then tha was aii goin tu hear the minstrels. Mr.
Locket said Mr. McKibin couident go to tbe the
atre, as he was on a committee every night, an
tha hung on so long Mr. McK. couldent never git
tu his room at nite tel mity late. So we all had
tu excuse Mr. McE., but the rest of us went and
had a most salubrious time. 1 can’t lei aii now.
Nuthin lock place to jar the happiness ov any ov
us, except a small incident to myself, which
caused me tu git my note badly mashed. I will
. tei you ail about it in my next. Considerin ail iu
all, I cum out that night mity well fur a
Country Gentleman.
The Mother as a Hair-Cutter.—You canal
ways tell a boy whose mother cute his hair. Not
because the edges ot it looked as 11 it had been
chewed off by an ab.-eni-minded horse, but yon
tell it by the way he stops on the streets and
wriggles his shouldets. When a lond mother has
to cut ber boy’s hair she is careful to guard
against aDy annoyance and muss by laying a sheet
on the carpet. It has never yet occurred to hrr
to sit him over a bare floor and put the sheet
around his neck. Then she draws the front hair
over his eyes and leaves it there while she cuts
that which is at the back. The hair which lies
over his eyes appears to be surcharged with elec
tric needles, and that which is silently dropping
down uuder bis shirt-band appears to he on fire.
She has unconsciously continued to push his head
forward until his nose presses his breast, and is
too busily engaged to notice the snuffing sound
that is becoming alarmingly frequent. In the
meantime he is seized with au irresistible desire
to blow his cose, but recollects that his handker
chief is in the other room. Then a fly lights on
his nose, and do.s it so unexpectedly that he in
voluntarily dodges, and catches the points of his
shears in his lef. ear. At this he commences to
cry and wishes he was. a man. But his mother
doesn’t notice him. She merely hits him on the
other ear to inspire confidence, and goes on with
the work. When she is through she holds his
jacket-collar back Irom his neck, and with her
mouth blows the short bits ot hair Irom the top
of his head down his back. lie calls her attention
to this fact, hut she looks for anew place on his
head and hits him there, and asks him why he
didn't use his handkerchief. Then he takes his
awfully disfigured head to the mirror and looks
at it, and, young, as he is, shudders as he thinks
what the boys on the street will say.—^ Danbury

generally conceded, by the advocates of the s;oek

SPECIAL NOTICES.
The Career of a Great Remedy.—Twenty
summers have elapsed since it was briefly an
nounced that anew vegetable tonic and alterative,
bearing the name of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters,
had been added to the list of preventive restora
tive medicines. The modest advertisement which
invited attention to the preparation stated that
it had been used with great success in private
practice as a cure for dyspepsia, bilious com
plaints, constipatioa cud intermittent fever. It
was soon discovered that the article possessed ex
traordinary properties. The people, of every
class, tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant, cor
rective and restorative, and found that its effects
more than fulfilled their hopes and expectations.
From that time to the present its course has been
upward aud onward, and it stands to day at the
head of ail medicines of its class, American or
imported, in the magnitude of its sales and its
reputation as a safe, agreeable and potent invig
orant and restorative. For languor and debility,
lack of appetite aud gastric disturbances so com
mon during the summer months it i3 absolutely
infallible. Indigestion, bilious disorders, consti
pation, nervousness, periodical fevers, and all the
ordinary complaints generated by a vitiated and
humid atmosphere, vanish uuder its renovating
and regulating influence. This is its record,
avouched by volumes of intelligent testimony, ex
tending over a period of a fifth of a century, aud
comprehending the names ot thousands of well
known citizens belonging to every class and call
ing. In Europe it is thought n great thing to ob
tain the patronage ol royalty (or a “pateut medi
cine.” but Hostetler’s Bitters h.s been sponta
neously approved by millions of independent sov
ereigns, aud i'.s patent consists in their endorse
ment.

A GREAT BLESSING.
NEVER, since the time “when the morning
stars sang together,” has there been a greater
medical discovery and blessing to the human race
than tbe
GLOBE FLOWER COUGH SYRUP.
This delightful and rare compound is the active
principal, obtained by chemical process, from the
“ Globe Flower,” known also as “ Button Root,”
ana in Botany as “ Cephalanthus Occilen tails.”
Globe Flower Cough Syrup is almost an infalli
ble cure for every description ot Cough, Colds,
Hoarseness, Sore. Throat, Croup,Whooping Cough
Pleurisy, Influenza, Asthma, Bronchitis, etc.; and
will cure Consumption, whan taken m time—as
thousands will testify.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup will cure the most
obstinate cases of Chronic Cough and Lung af
fections, when all other boasted remedies fail.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle of opium or any ot its preparations.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle of poison, or any ingredient that cculo
hurt the most delicate child.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup has become, where
known, the most popular Cough Medicine in tbe
country, because it has successfully withstood tbe
three great tests of merit, viz: Time. Experience,
and ot Competition, and remains, after passim;
through this ordeal, the best article of its kind in
the world.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup is pleasant to tbe
taste, and does not disagree with the most delicate
stomach.
Physicians who have consumptive patients, are
invited to try the Globe Flower Cough Syrup. Its
magical effects will at once be felt and acknowl
edged.

words Globe Flower Cough Sgrup blown in each

are protected by Letters Patent.
Don’t take any other article as a substitute for
Globe Flower Cough Syrup. If your druggist or
merchant has none on hand, request him to order

ful cures are constantly being received from tbe
North, East, West and Bouth—some of which
seem almost miraculous.
