History of Forsyth.
Bishop Pierce's Sermon.
On Sunday mornltg, July the 13th, the sun rose
in uuob.i.urtd t-pleLdor, as it tmilrng propitiously
upon the exercises v.bitc were to rnaugura e the
opening o! mi 19.n Annual Cuinnienctintuiol mis
Col tge. A an ear y hour the et/ eel were crowded
Ub carriages, buggies and pr te l* freighted with
beauty ar.U intelligence, in k.Lg .heir way to tbe
Coileae Chapel. Bj 10 u'c.ock the Ckapel hall was
ci a ug to oveifloAing, ana still Ihc atoemulago
swelled until it was absolutely impossible tor
n.oie to lied room. There, oiingi.ng with nervous
exc temeut, their anticipations oi the approaching
hour w hen rite Bishop would begin, satan audience
large iu numbers aud presuming the grandest and
most fascinating appearance that the eye of man
ever rested upon.
At 10% o'c.ock the choir broke forth with the
most enchanting and exciting music, attracting
all eyes by the strangeness ol i!s meiody and win
ning all hearts by its sublimity. Bishop Pierce
began the services of the day by a most impress
ive and leeiing prayer. His sermon was founded
upon the first 8 verses ot the 78th Psalm. With
out remarks or explanations, he dashed like a me
teor Into tho mystery of his subject, and with pro
found logic end most appropriate illustiations,
combining religion with education in the most in
genious and artful mauner, he erected a structure of
the human mind and actions, of the grandest pro
portions, and magnified its elegance and beauty by
the richest adornments. As he advanced in hia
discourse, his zeal aud fervor increased the poten
cy of his arguments and the richness of his voice.
Wrapt in the contemplation of his sublime sub
ject, and conscious of the duties of the hour, his
lips delivered fresh from hie soul sentiments of
the purest character, and suggestions ch ystalized
by years of religious experience. The unused ears
of the enchained audience drank the words of
wisdom as they iell from his lips with un
studied elegance and unostentatious display. This
closed the exercises of the day.
On Monday morning the Sophomore Exhibi

Tub Annual Exim)natiun and Exhibition
at Cabaniss.—Ou last Friday morning the Exem
in.-.tion ot the pupils ot Cabaniss Academy began
under the mos*. propitious circumstances. At an
early hour a large and interesting crowd assem
bled for the purpose ot witressiug the interesting
exercises, which had been previously an
nounced. The exercises of tbe day were com
menerd by an examination in sacred history of a
class of six, composed of Misses Steele, Gibson
and Johnston, and Masterc Gcggins, McCord and
Sieele. They displayed nasck knowledge, and
what was remarkable a very fair conception of the
place and circumstances connected with the life,
character and crucifixion of Christ. Their exam
ination was entirely satisfactory, and showed
clearly that they had been instructed by one who
understood thoroughly his business. The next
class deserving special mention was piade up of
Miss Steele, a ve'y bright and intelligent little
girl, and John Steele. They underwent a thor
ough examination in the history of tbe United
States, and (their youthfulness considered) dis
played an unusual acquaintance with the earlier
and intermediate o,et,urrences of our country.
Mr. John Steele was examined iu Latin aud, el
lh( j-k u beginner, showed considerable profi
ciency in the branches oi that study.
At 12 o’clock the exercises vcre ' closed, until 8
o’clock, p. m., when the Exhibition began.
entertainment was well arranged and the pnpiU
participating performed each one his and her part
with great credit and satisfaction. The whole
wound up with the grand roariDg drama of “ seek
ing a wife.” In this connection we cannot forbear
making special mention of Mr. Steele, lor the In
imitable manner with which ho rendered the part
of “ wife-seeker.”
Under the guidance of that splendid gentleman
and superior scholar, Prof. W. J. Morcock, we
confidently believe that the school in that vicinity
will soon be increased extensively in patronage
and support, and under hi 9 plastic hand and cul
tivated mind will reflect not only credit upon the
community bat upon the the county.
The Forsyth Cornet Band was on band and added
much to the pleasure and joy of the occasion. At
the close of the exhibition the friends and patrons
of the Institution resolved themselves into a
meeting and passed some very complimentary
resolutions to the Band, which are published else
where, and which we cordially endoise. In be
half of Forsyth Cornet Band, Col. P. H. Miller re
turned their thanks In a brief but eloquent and
sensible speech.
The citizeus of the 14th District are generally
hospitable, and on this occasion were earnest and
untlriug in their endeavors to make all happy.
Among the many we desire to acknowledge spe
cial favor from Mr. Jno. A. Steele and Jas. M.
Shannon.
A Tradition Or Monroe.— Not quite a half
centuty since, there lived on old pioneer near
the head waters of the Ocmulgee, whose name
was KeaseL This faithiul old son of the forest,
Biter accumulating a competency saw his eud ap

borhood who had become famous for writing
epitaphs. Keasel, sent tor
ted him to write bis epitaph, offering himsnai
cient compensation. The red skin after arranging
preliminaries began the task, and Called in the
cmJ msn to ask whether it met his approbation.
It began thus;
There was a man who aied of late.
For wheffi angels did impatient WaU,
Witn on' stretched arms and wings of love
Tri w ail him to the realms above.
This disticn so pleased the old gentleman, that
he called in ?is lriends and netght,o*s, alter am
ple time, to hear and over the epitaph eota
plet ed. A solemn conclave of lriends in the
old man’s apartment with the Indian in their
i midst who was requested to proceed. Ever and
j anon a wild cunning glance from his eye towards
i the door might have betrayed a treacherous in
■ teat. He began :
There was a man who died of late,
For whom angels did impatient wait
With out stre ehed arms and wings of love
To watt him to the realms above,

Murder. —The commitment trial of Kit Brown,
coi., the murderer of Lindsey Johuson, col , was
heard on last Saturday by Justices King, Head
and Johnson. The elrcumstaucea connected with
the killing are substantially as follows :
On Sunday, the 27th of June, Kit Brown went
to the negro church on the plantation of Messrs.
Rhodes and Elder, fpr the purpose, as he stated,
“ ol killing a man who ought to be killed ot get?
ting killed himself.” Some time before the diffi
culty Brown was heard to say that he Intended to
kill deceased belore night, A difficulty was ap.
prehended by some negroes present and they, to
avoid it, started off with and towards the home
of deceased. Jpt Brown followed the crowd,
passed in front and baited until they came up to
him, when be took a knife from his pocket and
maf* three attempts to stab deceased, but was
prevented by the Interference of negroes present.
Lindsey Johnson remarked to prison?!’ that if that
was what he wanted it was all right, then drew
out his pistol and fired at him twice.
Prisoner then left and was next seen in about
half an hour approaching deceased and the crowd
with whom ho was in company. When he ar
rived in about sixty yards of the deceased he
raised his gun and presented it at him, still ad
vancing, when deceased pulled out bi3 pistol and
fired at him two or three times. This did not
stop Brown; he kept advancing, and when in
abont forty yards of deceased, raiced his gun and
fired.
A post mortem examination disclosed the fact
that a piece of lead, weighing thirty six grains,
had penetrated the right frontal bone abont two
and five-eighths inches from the center and in the
right temple. The lead passed through both
hemispheres of the brain and lodged against the
Inner plate of the skull on the opposite side.
Fourteen small shot were found in the scalp of
the deceased. The prisoner was committed to
jail. T. B. Cabaniss represented the State, E. B.
Amos the defendant.
Fine Fowls.— On last Friday at Cabaniss, Dr.
W. N. Jndson exhibited to ns one of the finest lot

ing 15 pounds, and a hen of the same age weigh
ing pounds. The Doctor has also some Seab
right Bantams a size larger than the paitridge
and as beautiful as any sea bird. The Dr. be
sides being a fine “fowler” is also a good Doctor.
Although anew comer he has, by his gentlemanly
bearing and sncciss in the practice of medicine,
won the confidence and eateem of the communi
ty in which he lives.

SPECIAL NOTICES. ~
The Career of a Great Remedy. —Twenty
summers have elapsed 6ince it we.s briefly an
nounced tnat anew vegetable tonic and alterative,
bearing the name of Hostetter’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, constipation and 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 and onward, and it stands to day at the
head of all 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 and gastric disturbances so com
mon during the summer months it is absolutely
infallible.* Indigestion, bilious disorders, consti
pation, nervousness, all the,
ordinary complaints generated by a vitiated and*
humid atmosphere, vanish under its renovating
and regulating influence. This is its record,
avouched by volumes ol intelligent testimony, ex
tending over a period of a fifth of a century, and
comprehending the names ol thousands of well
known citizens belongmg to every class and call
ing. In Europe it is thought a great thing to ob
tain the patront.ge ol royalty for a “ patent medi
cine.” but llos'eftt-r’s Bitters has been sponta
neously approved by millions of ind- pendent sov
ereigns, ana is parent consists ip thejr endorse
ment.

A GREAT BLESSING.
NEVER, since the time “when the morning
stars sang together,” has there been a greater
medical discovery ana blessing to the human race
than the
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,”
and in Botany as “ Cepbalantbns Occi ientalis.”
Globe Flower Cough Syrup is almost an infalli
ble cure for every description of Cough, Colds,
Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Croup, Whoopinc Cough
Pleurisy, Influenza, Asthma, Bronchitis, etc.; and
will cure Consumption, when taken in time—as
thousands will testify,
Qiobe Flower Coug£ Syrup wll? cure the most
obstinate cases of ChroDie Cough and Lnng af
fections, when all other boasted remedies fail.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle Of opium or any of its preparations.
Globe Fiower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle of potsoc, or ary ingredient that could
nurt the most delicate child.
Globe Flower Syrup has become, where
known, the most popular Cough Medicine in the
country, because it has successfully withstood the
three great tests of merit, viz : Time, Experience,
and ot Competition, and remains, after passing
through this ordeal, the best article of its kind in
the world.
Globs Flower Cough Syrup is pleasant to the
taate, and does not disagree with the raoet delicate
stomach.
Pnysicians who have consumptive patients, are
invited to try the Globe Flower Cough Syrup. Its
magical efiects will at,once be felt and acknowl
edged.
Beware of counterfeits: the genuine has the
words Globe Flower Cough Sgrup blown in each
bottle, and the signatures of the proprietors upoD
each label. The trade mark label and compound
are protected by Letters Patent.
Don’t take any other article as a substitute for
Globe Flower Cough Syrup. If your druggist or
merchant ha? none on hand, request him to order
it for you.
Thousands of Testimonials of the most wonder
ful cures are constantly being received from the
North, East, West and South—some of which
seem almost miraculous.
