Justice King’s Court—A Lively day with a
big Case—On last Saturday,Justice King issued a
possessory warrant, at the instance of the Deputy
Sheriff, for one bale of cotton held by one of our
largest merchants. We gathered the following
facts : It appears that two liens had been fore
closed by two merchants, one of the executions
was in the hauds cf the Sheriff. The sherifi in
pass-tig to tue country, [met the farmer with his
cotton, and in order to leave cost told him to
turn it over to the merchant for whom he held
the ilaim, which he agreed to do. The Deputy
Sheriff not knowing of the action ot his superior
or that he held the execution levied upon the cot
ton with execution iu his hands and directed him
to throw the cotton off at the Empire Warehouse,
which was done. The merchant whose claim the
Sheriff held then took possession of the cotton
and sold it. The the] cotton gone,
made a demand, but failed to get it, whereupon
the wairaut was issued.he party was arrested
and brought iuto’the Court saying that the cot
ton was beyond his control, and under the advice
of bis attorney deelined’jto give up the money.
Upon this answer Justice King, %issued an order
rquiring the party to produce the cotton or its
equivalent or he put iu jail. To this order anu
decision the merchant excepted gave notice of
his intention to certiorari the ease and tendered
bond to “ abide the final decision being a col
lateral issue, not effecting the main question at
bar, could not be taken up and the mer
chant wad placed under the custody of an officer.
A writ ol habeas corpus 'was then obtained from
the Ordinary and a consent order takeD, releasing
the merchant. Much feeling was manifested iu
the case, so much that one of the attorneys and
an officei attempted to settle the matter by
physical power. A few harmless blows and the
difficult was adjusted.

Musing* of E. H. Roberts during
tlie Storm.
This awlul night is dork and drear,
The south-wind blows a storm severe;
Suppose these china trees should fall
With dreadful force against the wall
And strike me on my old bald pate—
They’d make me like a he goat bleat.
O! that I were in Dempsy’s bouse
Wrapp’d up as snug as any mouse;
The top’s too light to kill me dead
Though it should tall upon my head.
If earthly storms lflright me so
Where thall I fly ? ah 1 whither go
Upon that great eventful day
When heaven aud earth shall pass away ?
Be It my ucremittlug prayer,
That 1 may there an interest share
In Him, who bids the tempest rise
Who rules the earth, the winds, the skies.
Aa the year is drawing to a close, we insist that
those still owing us come forward and settle, and
thereby aave seme trouble and expense.

Grand Concert
At the Monroe Female College Chapel by
the Ladies’ Aid Society for the Benefit of
the Forsyth Baptist Church. Thursday Eve
ning, Dec. 4,1373
At the appointed hour, there convened at the
Chapel one of the most select assemblies that we
have seen in a long while. On our entrance our
eyes were greeted with the inscription on
the back ground of the Rostrum, in large gold
bronzed letters, “Junior” iand “Benior ;” also
“ Ladies’ Aid Society” with the motto “ Victory:
Our Reward.” Three large arches environed with
evergreens, arbor vitae, cedar and flowers; and
three large doable stars made of cedar aud trimmed
with berries and flowers, with a number of Indian
bsfkets filled with the most fragrant flowers—
pendant; a beautiful flower arch, on the left door
entrance, all constituting an imposing arcade, re
flecting great credit upon the skill and taste ot
the fair projectors. The large, elegant chandeliers
were brilliantly lighted up, and tastetully deco
rated with choicest festoons of flowers. In front
of the stage and in the rear of the spectators, were
beautifully airanged two canopies of flowers frem
which the beauty of our city dealt out refre h
raenta in the shape of cakes and lemonade. The
whole arrangement was artistic, fairy-like and
tempting, and many an o.d half dollar let loose its
tenacious moorings under the influence.
The voluptuous swell of music of the Forsyth
Comet Band broke the suspense and began the
entertainment, with creditable performance. Pres
ident Asbury made his appearance upon the stage,
respectfully requested silence and announced the
first pieca of the programme ; but was relieved by
our efficient townsman J. K. Banks, who con
ducted the performances the balance of the eve
ning. The first piece, “Lady of Beauty," was
perlormcd by Misses F. Hillyer, L. Gibson and
Capt. Miller, with fine effect, each one performing
the part assigned them with unexceptionable
sweetness and precision. Tue second piece was
a duette sung by Prof. Bechtei and Miss Kate
Milledge. This piece was rendered as well as a
musical connotseur could accomplish it. We know
not upon whom to bestow the meed of praise.
Space will not permit us to tell all the excellen
cies of the performance. The whole audience was
highly entertained and richly remunerated. We
felt proud that our little city could afford a rendi
tion, almost impromptu, that would reflect credit
upon longer preparation and more experienced
performers. We cannot refrain from compliment
ing the beautiful and impressive allegory, “The
closing of the old year and ushering in of the new,”
performed by the young ladies representing the
months and seasons. Each was dressed to suit
the month she represented, Winter dressed in
black, with ted sashes; Spring in white, with
blue sashe3 snd flowers; singing by all. Then
came Summer dressed iu white, with pink sashes
and flowers—singing. Next came Autumn, dressed
in black, with yellow sashes. The young ladies
were ekgautiy dressed and 'appeared beautifully.
Tbe closing address was finely rendered and
every extract well delivered. 'I his was happily
conceived and h:td the desired effect.
Forsyth can boast of as fine musical talent as
any place of its population ou the continent. The
voices of Misses Milledge, Gibson, Hillyer and
Asbury, with Prof. Bechter to bring iu the bass,
united, would charm Calypso aud her nymphs.
The thanks of the Ladies’ Aid Society and For
syth generally are due and are hereby tendered to
Messrs. Burr Brown, Arthur Wood and Captain
Miller for their assistance in this successful effort.
Messrs. Burr Brown and Arthur Wood, of Ma
con, will be long remembered pleasantly aDd
mirthfully by oar citizens. Mr. Brown acted bis
part well; tue whole entertainment was spiced
with his inimitable Dutch eccentricities,and many
a hearty laugh will be yet enjoyed by the memory
of him. After the exercises a sumptuous oyster
supper was prepared and freely discussed.
The thanks of the Ladies’ Aid Societo are
hereby tendered Messrs. Wing A Solomon, of
Macon, for the beautiful rings presented which
were the source of much profit aud pleasure ic
being cut for by the blushing maidens and anx
ious swains.
Ministers’ Rlmissnkss. —Ye nrofes“>d men of
God, how great is jour responsibility ! Ye etties
set upon a hill and ye lights that shine so that
others seeing your good works may glorify yonr
Father in Heaven! Have you let your light shine
as your gieat prototype bul you ? Have you other
duties save tbe ordinary routine of Sabbath cere
monies ? Think whom you have visited during
the past week, and Into whose bosom you have
poured the oil ol counsel and consolation ! Have
your engagements been secular? Have your
thoughts been occupied with monetary concerns ?
Your .great Exemplar never allowed money to
interfere with his ministerial duties, and He was
ferveut and constant in season and out of season.
Have you a parish t® visit, or pastoral duties to
perform ? How many poor, oppressed and mis
erable beings have you tried to lead to the Rock
that is higher than yourselves, by tailing with them
upon your knees and praying God’s blessing upon
them ? Do you sit with the fat, slick, money
making brethren, read newspapers, smoke cigars
around a com'ortable fire and prate about the
Crash ; or do you go into the highways and hedges
and ferret out the poor and needy and advise with
them, cousole and encourage them, and try to
help them on to God ?
In your heart of hearts, with whom are you
the most genial and intimate? Do you love
to sit in the unostentatious cottage? or the pala
tial mansion of the brethren ? When some poor,
neglected brother has just died, and you are
sought to attend his obsequies, where can yon be
found? Attending to pastoral duties arcuud the
bed of the sick, or surrounded by the luxuries of
the rich? Your calling is of God, and your duty
the good Samaritan’s. Your usefulness is not
coufined to the rounded periods of pulpit elo
quence, nor the weekly routine of Sabbath ser
mon?. “He preached a good sermon to-day,” is
not equivalent to the tiual plandit, “Well done,
good aud laithful servant,” etc. “1 was a stranger
and you took me not in,” may be laid at your
door when you knock for entrance into heaven I
Think you, reverend sires and apostles of the
meek and lowly Saviour, who chose poor fisher
men for His bosom-companions, is your parish
visited and thoroughly canvassed? Is there no
wretched, wayward soul of your acquaintance,
within your daily intercourse, whom a word fitly
spoken might lead to happiness on earth and peace
in heaves ?
“ Footprints that perhaps another,
Seeing, may take heart again.”

Mr. Editor: After seven years with twenty-three
months hard labor, the Secretary of Town Conn
cil is out with a report, which may be found in
your paper ol 25th of November, and 2nd Dec.
As may be seen by looking over this report, be
has acted tbe part of a good and efficient agent or
clerk. Asa matter of course, his duty is to obey
orders, recoid just what is submitted to him for
record style etc. As evidence of their prudence,
they called to their assistance, Mr. Ab. Watts, a
faithful blacksmith to prepire the bandage, in the
shape of a .lap ling, to hold the budget together
at 50 cents. The lap ring may come off some day
and then we can get a peep at the monster. There
can be no blame attached to the secretary in any
respect in reference to his report lor he has said to
me, for the last tweuty-tbree months, that he
wouid discharge his duty as secretary, to a letter
so far as w hat was submitted to him for a re
cord, and publishing the same. And lam satis
fied, no agent or employee, could have been
moiw faithful than be has during this time. As
another proof, the council has retained him for
two years as a tauhful and accepted clerk.

Letter from Snook*.
The Times— Mr. Editor: The times are a little
of the worst. As Dominie Sampson would say:
they are prodi-gious. But you must not presume
from the above that I am going to write you a
croaking letter; far from it. I feel great sympa
thy for those wno are in trouble and in debt, but
I believe that eventually all things will work oat
for the best. I have an abiding faith in Him who
marks onr outgoings and onr incomings, and be
lieve that 'neatb tbe darkest cloud there is a silver
lining. I see one man’s mules fat aud another’s
poor and I still believe. I eee the colossal wealth
of one who appreciates it not, overshadowing the
poverty of another,and I still believe. I see children
born into the world whose future life can be only
a struggle for existence ; 1 see money-bags eitting
in his office, oblivions of ail things save tbe al
mighty dollar and hoarding that wealth, whitfc
would carry, light and hope and blessings to a
thonsand firesides, as it 'it was his immortal sonl;
I sit at the feet of the preacher and hear him
grow eloquent over the “poor heathen” and see
his congregation send their gold beyond tbe seas,
purchasing indemnity for neglect of duty nearer
home, forgetting that the world begina at their
very door, and that no good is good wrought on
a basis of omission; I see suffering despair and
death as the lot of poor humanity, and I yet be
lieve. Call this belief what you will, faith, fool
hardiaese or blindness, it yet lightens the burdens
of life and makes its pathway endurable,
The first great want of these trying times’that
we all atand in need of, is a good helpmate. When
I see a young man croaking of the hard times and
whining that he is broke, I say to him in my most
pathetic style, “My friend, go and marry a good
girl, build you up a house and raise up brats
around you.” There's nothing like it, Mr. Editor.
When 1 glow down in the mouth, and gloomy and
low spirited Mrs. Snooks sees it in a minute, and
as I Bit by ihe fire, with head cast down, she comes
to me ana putting her hand gently on my shoul
der, says: “Never mind, Bob, it will all come
right.” By Jove, sir, you may talk aboutelecttic
shocks, but there’s something in that touch and
voice that beats.them all hollow. I have no doubt
sir, that you have experienced a peculiar sensa
tion, up and down your spine, like globules of
honey coming up one side and going down the
other and trying all the time to push each other
out of the way; but the feeling that pervades my
whole system, at such a time, ain’t a bit like it;
it’s like a great infusion of strength through my
whole being, and banishes doubt and gloom like
the sun dissipates the mist; and I arise with new
strength and hope and energy, ready to battle on
to the end, You may talk about your grand ser
mons and essays, but those simple words and gen
tle touch carry more to my wasted energy aud
sinking heart than all of them.
Another thing we ehould do during these hard
time, is to follow the example of Baptists and
Grangers, and call eaeh other brother. It will
have a wonderful effect, Mr. Editor. The very
word has a heaithfulaess in it that will tend to
lighten the load.
The Town Council of Forsyth ought to pass
fn ordinance forbidding the use ot cuss words,
under a penalty of one dollar for the first, increas
ing in a geometrical ratio, tor each succeeding
one. This ordinance should have been put upon
the books when Bro. Hammond ran the town, and
then Bro. Danielly could never have put him on
record as having used naughty words. He would
at least have done all his cussing to himself. I
would not object to this ordinance having effect
five miles in all directions from the Court-house,
although I did think itjwas a little hard when Bro.
Hammond tried to take in these farming lands to
help to pay your city debt.
Another thing we should not do during these
hard times: We should not tell tales out of
school. When I get hold of one of your ten-dol
lar promises to pay—not that I handle many of
them, Mr. Editor, for they are like angels’ visits
—few and far between—l look at it sadly and see
Bro. Hammond’s name at the bottom, and re
membering that he said be could bust it to h—l,
I grow shaky iu the knees, fearing lest he might
do it while I held it. Bro. Danielly shouldn’t
ought to have done it; it is demoralizing in the
extreme, and everything that demoralizes should
be strictly avoided.
We should pay as we go, these bard times, for
there is nothing like it forlgreising the wheels of
commerce ; but if every man stands back with his
pockets full of cash, crying “hard times,” and
takes particular pains not to pay his just debts,
how the 1 like to have followed Bro, IPs ex
ample-can we get along ?
Last, and grandest of them all, we should be
true Grangers, and make what we would at home,
and then, if we but keep out of debt, Old Hard
Times may howl and whistle on the outside to his
heart’s coment, while we sit in comfort ’neatb
our own vine and fig-tree; and not till then will
our country be free. Yours, in the bonds of
love, Rob’t J. Snooks.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Manual of Health.—An edition of be
tween nine and ten millions of copies ot a very
useful work is now ready for gratuitous distribu
tion, and can be had for asking at any drug store
in the United States, the British Colonies, Span
ish America or Brazil. The work referred to is
Ho6tetter’s Almanac for 1874. The medical por
tion of it treats of the various ailments to which
the human system is subject, and sets forth the
peculiar properties of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters—the purest and best tonic known—as a pre
servative of health and strength, and as a remedy
for debility and disease. The Almanac is printed in
all the principal languages of tbe civilized world,
aDd reaches a larger number of families and indi
viduals than any other medical treatise ever is
sued from the press. No man or woman who has
a due regard for that choicest of heaven’s bless
ings, bodily vigor, should tail to read the plain,
simple and convincing articles which this truly
practical publication contains. The miscellaneous
matter is varied, instructive, and amusing, and
the calender part copious aud comprehensive.
Hosteiter’f. Almanac is, in short, a household con
venience, adapted to the calling. The farmer,
the planter, the merchant, the mechanic, the la
borer, the professional man, all need it; and to
invalids of both sexes it is literally an article of
prime necessity. The medical technicalities,
which render so many medical treatises iatended
for popular use, unintelligible to the general
reader, have been carefully avoided in this pam
phlet. Ail is clear, explicit, forcible, aud recon
clablc with reason and common sense.
The proprietois, Messrs. Ilostetter & Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa., ou the receipt of a two cent stamp,
will forward a copy by mail to any person who
cannot procure one in his neighborhood.
Beyond the Mississippi.— Thousands have al
ready gone, aDd thousands more are turning their
eyes towards new homes in the fertile West. To
those going to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colo
rado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon or Cali
fornia, we recommend a cheap, safe, quick and di
rect route, via St. Louis, over the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad, which runs its line Day Coaches
and Pullmans Sleepers from St. Louis to princi
pal points in the West, without change. We be
lieve that the Missouri Pacific Railroad has the
best track and the finest and salest equipment of
any line west of the Mississippi, and its connect
ions with roads further West are prompt and re
liable, The Texas connection of this road is now
completed, and passengers are offered a first class
all-rail route from St. Loni3 to Texas, either over
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas R. R., via Sedalia,
or over the Atlantic and Pacific R. R., via Vinita.
For maps time tables, information as to rates,
routes, &c., we refer our readers to E. A. Ford,
