On the evening ol the 21st the aisles, seats, ver
libule and gallery of the Methodist Church were
crowded with an eager and excited throng, each
anxious to catch the first glimpse of the lovely
and, charming bride and the handsome and tal
ented groom. At 9 o’clock the bridal party ar
rived; the attendants maiched up the left aisle
and look their positions around tbe beautiluily
festooned altar. The bride and groom then passed
slowly up the left aisle evidently embarrassed,
yet with a full consciousness of ibe weighty re
sponsibility of the nuptial vows thty were ou the
eve of consummating. Upon their arrival at the
altur every noise was hHsbed, not even the rustling
of a silk nor the heavy breathing of relatives and
friends could be beard. In tbe midst of this pro
found silence the Rev. D. J. Myrick proceeded, in
tbe most solemn and impressive style, to pro
nounce the marital vows and declare them united
for life, according to the conventionalities of law
aud society.
After the ceremony the bridal party, with iuviUd
guests, left the church and a.-sembled at the resi
dence of the bride's lather. The queenly appear
ance of the bride, robed in her magnificent bridal
(roxxeau, and tbeebirmingappearance of the happy
groom, added large y to the pleasure aud enjoy
ment of those ; resenc. The munificent colla
tion prepared was equal to anything of the kind
it has ever been our privilege to attend. Every
ihing that was deligbttnl to the eye or pteas.int to
tne taste was Interspersed over the able in rich
prolusion.
On Wednesday night the bride and groom were
tendered a social reunion at tbe residence ol the
gruom’s mother, some fix miles in the country. A
large crowd was in attendance and had a most
pleasant and engaging time. Beauty, taste and
elegance were prothsely displayed in the uaraoge
meut ot the tables and decoration cf the cakes.
A Very handsome cake ornamented the centre cl
the tabic with a talr represeututien of the “ caged
bride.” '
hotal reception.
Ou Thursday night Mr. H. G. Bean and his ac
complished lady gave the bride and groom a grand
and royal reception. On iliis oecagion the un
bounded tioi-pitaiity of Captain Bean was clearly
demonstrated in one of the grandest ovations that
has been known in our midst for a long while.
Tiie,long tables groaned wiih the costliest ar.d
rarest viands, while here and there beautiful young
ladies, not lute lor to m ide.-t Dima, served ntn
biosiii and spaikling nectar to tbe beauty and wit
of cur lair lit le cdty.
In acknowli ding the “ editorial rimembrane,”
wc. tend; r our thanks for the distinguish and consid
eration shown u , with our undisguised and must
lerveut wish lo the pi rpetoal and uninterrupted
happiness, prosperity aud love of the happv and
favored pair.
Commendable.— Mr. Editor: Your article iu
the last issue ot The Advertiser, on the subject
ol Gianges, is of such a nature that entitles you
to the gratitude of uot only tire farmers, but also
ot every class of men who live by honest toll.
Yi/heu we look over the journals o! the nation,
we find a large majority engaged in sycophantic
flattery ibe Luge capitalists. The columns ot
many newspapers teem with praises of the rich
and great. Public speakers engage iu the syco
pbantic worship of meu iu power, and but few
speakers or writers upholds the cause of the op
pressed.
We heartily agree with you, that self preservation
is at the bottom of this rnovanent of the farmers. Such
the case, men had as well attempt to stay
the flood tides of the ocean as to attempt to
check i! progress. You are correct.xyica-futr
ssy, “ this" country too' new—her people too
vigorous—to sink under moneyed monopolists.”
During aud siute the war a class of men eauit
lu power whose highest r.im was to amass money.
This formed what lias sometimes been called the
Shoddy Aristocracy;—meu who believed that
money alone was necessary to constitute great
ness. 'fhis class of men employed tbeir time and
taleuts to influence legislation in their favor, and
•hey succeeded to a great extent in this matter.
They hsveconnected the general government into
a gigantic machine to be run in their interest.
The moneyed meu bought the United States Ccn
gress. They asked for land grants to build rail
roads, aud Congress gave them land enough dur
ing a single session of that body, to settle as many
inhabitants as live iu Great Britain. These huge
moneyed organizations have corrupted nearly ev
ery State Ltgislaiure in the Union. In Pennsyl
vania, during the last session ol the Legislature,
one ot the-members of that body moved to ad
journ, saying, 41 that he did not know of any other
business Tom. Scott had for them to traus
act.” This is certainly a sad but true state of af
fairs ot the nation. The large capitalists and
mammoth moneyed organizations have been ab?
sorbing tbe profits asising from the cultivation of
the soil, until patience, on the part of the farmers,
has ceased to be a virtue.
Tbe crops grown in tbe South are nearly as largo
as they were before the war, while cotton hag
usually soid from 50 to 100 p>er cent, above the
ante-war prices. The amount ol money arisiig
from the crops grown in the nation is greater
now ihan before tbe war. Where then is tbe
money? It is In the country; but then it is iu
the bands of a few capitalists and moneyed ot
aanizaiipns; whereas before tbe war it was in the
bauds ol the bulk of the people. This concentra
tion ofal! capital, in the hands of (ht f?ie, strikes a
blow at the very foundations upon which Repub
lican institutions rest. Your manly course iu up
holding the oppressed farmers and masses gener
ally, against the huge capitalist, is likely to bring
down upon you the anathemas of the latter class,
but do not tlmth, for it is a law of nature, that
whenever there is great oppression, that the man
| who upholds the oppre sed will receive the bless
ings of those ready to perish. The mau who has
the capacity *ad the courage to defend the
masses in this terrible ordes! through which the
nation is passing, will be caught up by the Irre
sistible current of popular sentiment and borne to
positions of influence and honor. X.

Southern Life Insurance Company.— A
i branch otiice of this institution was opened, and
; an advisory board organized, in our city on last
J Tuesday. Gen. Ago. B. Goidon was present, a.d
| delivered a beautiful and touching appeal to our
citizens, urg.ug them to keep their money at
j home by patronizing Southern Institutions of ev
ery character. We L..d intended to have given
au elaborate syabpsri of his speech, tut are pre
vented for want of space.
Gen. Gordon is" entitled to the respect ana
thanks of tte people ol the South, for the great
energy and unremitting tenacity with which he has
put sued the success of tbi patriotic movement —
the origin ol which emanated trom his own clear
mind. Ills cunneetion with the organization
has been solely Irom patriotic metiyes, and by no
means for tbe paltry sum of money which his po
sition as President pays.
We have taken some trouble to look into the
financial standing of tne Company, and from our
intoi mation do not hesitate to recommend it to
tho-e who wish to insure. Capt. Miller, the ge
nial Agent, will estanlish Lis beadqnarte:* in our
cl y, and we take pleasure in recommending him
as a Southern geutUman of the highest order.

Southern Life Insurance Company.
Address of the Executive Commit*
tee of Foray tli, Ga., Board,
By resolution of the Board of Trustees of the
Forsyth Branch, the following Address is irsued
by the Executive Committee:
Ofpice cf the So. Lire Ixs Cos., )
Forsyth, Ga. Oct. 24th, 1873. )
To the Citizen* of Monroe County and the State of ,
Georgia:
The subject to which we invite yoar attention
is, we think, of sufficient importance to justify
this address.
The propsition, that is important to the people
of the Southern States, impoverished as they have
been by the the war, to retain all the money which
it is possible to invest safely and profitably among
themselves, is too self-evident to need argument.
It has been sfated in a carefully prepared official
report, “tht the money taken from the Bouth
: uce tbe war, for life insurance amounts to the
enoimons sum of sixty millions of dollars ;” and
it is also estimated that not less than from six mill
ions to eight millions annually are sent from the
Son tern States lor the same purpose.
To check the flow of this golden current from
the South,and to turn it upon her devastated fields,
to restore something of what has been drained
from them, and to assist in building up our waste
places, is the object ol the Southern Life Insurance
Company.
We have been sollcted, and have, lu order to
found one organization for the whole South, con
sentid to join this holy enterprise. Founded on
a solid moneyed basts, with ample capital and
accumulation oi assets, its ratio of assets to lia
bilities, (the true test of a Compiny’s strength)
equals all the older cj-jjames. Wnile there are
several departments, tacy are departments of the
same Company, and eaeu and every one guaran
tees t e paymeut ot the policies of the Company.
The Southern was the first Life Insurance Com
pany organized since the war, lor the purpose of
arresting the drain of money Irom the Southern
Staus, and investing it at home; aud its marked
success has not only proved that the South ha 6
intelligence, and character sufficient for the prop
er conduct ol such business ; but Las also given
increased confidence in the security and stability
of investment made at home of ihe earnings and
accumulations ot our people.
It is'no part of its ptogrumuie, upr is it neces
sary to its success, that it-should decry the secu
rity cf other companies. But it claims to be it
self secure, and it expects to succeed upon the
1 basis ol the positive b mefits which it aflords to
individuals and lo communities, and by the proper
management of its own business.
1 Its declared purpose is to invest in each locality,
in which it does business, so much of the reserve
' iund derived from the butiuess of that locality as
' shall, upon advice with local trustees, be deter
mined to be just and judicious, aud to retain ail,
within the limits of the Southern States so much
iu n;ed of capi'al ; and its reports show that tuis
has letn actually and iaithfu'ly done to very laigC
and rapidly increasing extent.
To give assurance to the citiz ns of this com
muuity, at.d to a;.-i.-t iu carrying it cut, the Uom-
I pany, through Gen. Juo. B. Gordon, lriesident of
the A.lanta Department, lies appointed a Bourn oi
T. u.-lces lor the polity Li I tors iu flic County of
Monroe: with whom a lornnil and legal contract
has been entered into,to carry out these purposes.
This board of Trustees, being policy-holders iu
the Company, elects the President, officers, and
aa Executive Committe of their own body, to
conduct the business of the Company, aud to as
sist it, by their advice,a to the amount and nature
of investments of the reserve fund which shall
be from time to time made in said County.
Lo.-ses will be adjusted at the Forsyth office,
1 without the trouble, expense, and uncertainty at
tending collections at ren ote points and from un
known persocr.
Iu order to check the immense drain of*cp'tfa!
from the South to ihe North, we have made sat
isfactory arrcngecK D‘l6 to transfer parties who
are pew paying premiums to Northern Cornpa
tucsvVithuUt loss or additional annual outlay
The undersigned, being the Executive Commit
tee appointed by the Forsyth Board, iuliy believe
that the Company furnishes all the necessary ele
ments ot strength, stability and character,
and of purpose and object to commend it to the
support ol our citizens, and the confidence of
the people ot Georgia and the South.
In view ot the itrcat anc manliest importance of
retaining capital at home, we urge upon our lel
-1 jw-citizms a careful examination ol the claims of
this Company.
The office at Forsyth and the auxiliary offices
throughout our jurisdiction, w ill furnish all infor
mation and receive applications for iuiurance in
this Company.
The Board of Trustees desires to especially
rcccomrncud to the citizens ol Monroe county and
the State, Col. R. N. Miller General Agent of the
Company, who has his headquarters at For
| syth, and who is in evety respect trustworthy aud

A CARD-
Editor Monroe Advertiser : The undersigned mem
uc-re of the Forsyth Board of the Republic Life
Insurance Company res;cctlully request that ycu
publish ihe following card in justice to this ster
ling and mas. enterprising institution, in proof
that every promise Irom iheir mausger and agent
has been compiled with, and for the eneoursge
i mint of other communities in Georgia desiring
j the advantages of these local investments.
To enterprising and business men : Since the
formation of a Board o! the Republic Lile Insur
ance Compauy i l our city, ten brick stores, a
bans and a brick hotel bave been erected ; a spirit
of improvement pervades the entire community,
and a three story Republic Block, an ornament in
any city would be about complete but for unfor
seen and unavoidable circumstances. Mr. Good
now had paid £SOO for a plan, mechanics had nude
their bids, the lot wss purchased and $20,000 of
the money was ready, out in consequence of diffi
culties in getting possession of the ground, the
erection of the building is postponed until next
Spriug.
It is proper to state that the company, through
jts agents, urged the completion of the building
this Fall
From aa investigation pi' this jJompany, we can
say its plana ere liberal, its purposes are eminently
commendable, and its capital is immense.
In it we buy so much insurance for so much
money. We find no uncertain promises, but a
simple plan and definite contract; security for ogr
families, and a concentration ot capital for build
ing up our waste places.
It is your home Company, backed by a capital
stock of $2,0C0,0C0; and we are insured in it lor
tbe amounts opposite our names. Respectfully,
\Ym. L. Lampkin, President, SIO,OOO.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Natural Decay—Protect the System.—
The human body is a machine, and therefore can
not endure forever; but, like a watch or sewing
machine, it will last much longer if propeily reg
ulated and duly repaired, than if no pains were
taken to keep it iu Older. The great object of
every one who desires long and healthy life should
be to put hie body in the life
thi -.atoning influences by which yie are more or
less surrounded; and no invigonmt and corrective
at present known so effectively answers the pur
pose as the vitalizing elixir, which, under Kor un
pretending name of Ilostelter’s Stomach Bitters,
has been for twenty years the standard tonic ol
America. In crowded cities, where the almos
phtie ie contaminated with the effluvia insepara
ble from large populations; in marshy regions,
where the soil reeks with miasma; on the prairies
and in the forests, where every fail the air is taint
ed with exhalations from retting weeds and grass
es, or decomposing leaves—in short, iu every lo
cality where malaria exists, this powerful vegeta
ble autidote is urgen.ly needed. Fever and uue,
bilious levers, congestion of tbe iiver, jaundice,
rheumatism, and all diseases which arc generated
by infetted air, impure water, or sudden changes
of temperature may be averted by strengthening
and regulating the system in advance with Hos
tetler’s Bitters. Autumn is always a season of
peril, especially to weak, susceptible organiza
tions. Even the more vigorous are ant to be in
some measure depressed by the humid atmosphere,
loaded with deletereriotis g-e-es produced by the
i vegetable decay. Tbe fall is a period of the year
when the renovation and regulation ot tbe living
machine is peculiarly impoilant; aud the Bitters
should therefore be taken drily at tbis critical
season.
