Cabaniss. a member of the Sophomore Class at Mercer University, was awarded the second prize in declamation, last week. This is a great victory for Eddie, being the young est member of the Sophomote class, which was composed oi seventeen members. He possesses a brilliant mind nd we predict for him a high and honorable position in his future collegiate course. •* Another Tax Fight.—The lutendaut and Board of Commissioners have issued fi. fa’s against a uuutber of the citizens of Forsyth, who have decliued to pay the tax levied. We are not sufficiently advised as to tho poiuts upon which the resistance is based, to give them clearly and distinctly, but will so soon as they are distinctly announced. Col. A. D. Hammond has been re tained by the Board oi Commissioners, and CoL W. A. Lofton, of Macon, by the defendants. Bernd Brothers.—We took occasion a few days ago while in Macon, to examine the large wuoiesale and retail Harness and Saddle House of the above named firm. They employ a large num ber ot bands in the manufacture ot harness, sad dles, bridles and plantation harness of aii kinds. These gentlemen offer unusual inducements to retail dealers; and there is no reason why, and they actually do compete in prices with foreign dealers. They are clever, polite and accommo dating, and perfectly reliable in all their business transactions. Purchasers will do well to call and see them. Bkaulktt & Bro.—The enterprise and business tact of the above mentioned firm, is marked by their judgment and discretion in anticipating the want* and necessities of the public, These gem ilerneu, though youDg and ot but a comparatively short time in our midst, have built up a large and extensive hardware buelnees; and supplied this and adjoining counties with a necessity long felt Evincing their usual foresight in preparing for emergencies, they come forward to-day in a hand, tome advertisement (to which attention is called), offering a tine lot of pure china-ware, plated goods, etc., upon the most reasonable and entic ing term*. Commencement Exercise*. The Commencement exercises of Monroe Fe- j 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 be present than on any lormer occasion. Certain 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. junt‘24.tf John A. Danielly. 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. ——- Extra Sizes.—Men’s Hats and Clothing. june24tf John A.

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. Sblah. DIED.

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 Xeivs Man.

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. To Kansas and Colorado.—Burins: the sum mer season ot 1873, the Missouri Pacific Railroad will sell Excursion Tickets from St. Louis to Denver and return at very low rates of fare, and a rare opportunity is thereby offered, for lovers of nature to view the bounties of Colorado and enjoy the delightful scenery and health-inspiring climate ot the Parks ot the Rocky Mountains. Kansas, with its broad and ier;i!e plains, is di rectly on the route, and together wi h all the other Western Slates and Territories, is reached by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and its connec tions. The Texas connection of this road is now com pleted. and passengers are offered a first class ail rail route from t. Louis to Texas, either over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas R.
