THE OUTLOOK.
Tho propeot. before tho people of
nur conntry generally, in cheering.
The contingencies for the corn crops
have pa*wcd and from nearly all the
stales comes the cheering news that
bountiful supplies of corn have
boon made ; small grain crops have
been fair, and the hope for bread is
well founded. Likewise have forage
crops yielded abundantly, while the
fruit crops, of ever}' variety, have
been far alove the average and in
some sections excessive. \Y hen we
remember these things and look up
to him who bestows these blessings j
upon us the heart of every individ
ual should overflow with gratitude.
The r ported average of tho cotton ;
crop throughout the cotton belt was
never better than now, and soon this
crop will he pouring into our mar
kets, and thereby throw life and en
ergy into the business world and put
the wheels of commerce in rapid mo
tion.
The status of state and national
polities has not been better or mor<
tranquil than now, in twenty five
years. The wheels of government
have been lubricated u itli democratic
oil and the national machine seems
to he running with comparatively lit- j
tie friction. Tis true that the greed for
office has been magnified to its ut
most tension, and the president finds
himself unable to supply the multi
plicity of aspirants with places; nev
ertheless t he superabundant ones are
gradually retiring and drifting into
the humbler walks of* life, cultiva
ting for consolation, the thought, that
there will he another presidential i
election after awhile.
From a religious standpoint the
prospective is neither gloomy nor
discouraging. Through out this
broad land over which the aegis of
liberty spreads her wings, religious
revivals are springing up, churches
are being built and the morals of the
masses are being elevated.
Educational interest is demanding
a broader and firmer basis, and tak
ing a stronger hold upon the people,
while practical education is receiving
more attention from the educators,
’who always occupy the vidotte posts
on this line. Thus the buoying and
hope inspiring wave is widening and
extending into every section of* our
country, and all should mount upon
this wiiveandjride onward right on
tvtttH.
Hence with these facts eomlVont
mg us and bolstering up the present
croakers are i11...1-(PTimating
...I
(PTimating two months,
and judging from the number repor
ted it is presumable that the pigeon
boles of the clerk, unless quite spa
cious, is moderately well filled with
now bills.
In reading the reported proceed
ings of legislatures we are sometimes
reminded of a farmer who in the
early spring having mapped out his
crop oren, in a manner prepares his
ground and plants ; in due season lie
begins tin* cultivation and soon finds
himself over-cropped : nothing daun
ted he struggles on against wind
and title through the work season
and at the end thereof retires from
the cultivation with his crop in the
grass, except a “lew rich spots” to
which he had devoted special labor.
In harvesting lie finds a few good
ears of corn among the nubbins and
a few good stalks of cotton on the
favored spots and, when the harvest
is ended and the produce is rounded
up and accurately measured, not
withstanding, though ho has labored
hard, he finds he has not been alto
gether successful in his farming op
erations. yet he consoles himself with
the thought that he is not discoura
ged nor disgusted and that he is'wil
ling to try again. So in sifting the
produce of legislators, broiling
away tin accumulated straw in the I
shu}>e of “new bills” tabled and pig- j
e >n holed, fanning Out the eliafF and j
smut-machining that which passes
“through” the hopper, we find some
gt>od wheat and some good corn out
of which good meal and good flour
can ho made if properly handled in
a good mill.
Our Georgia legislators, notwith
standing they have been working
rough Die hot season, seem to have
he.>n active and diligent, and when
' he result shall have been ascertained,
"ill doubtless be found that they
have accomplished much and have
labored for the good of those whom
they represent.

! '■ kodork Thomas says baldness
adds dignity to a mans appearance
and is a mark of unusual ability.
As Mr. Thomas is bald his assertion
mav be questioned, but when your
friend tells you that at Dr. L. S.
Me ,-e's long established office up
in the Opera House building,
you can at ail times get the most
Skillful and satbiaetory dental work
obtainable, and that too at “live and
let live” figures, you n.vy set it down
that he is telling “the truth, the
whole truth and nothing u>t the
truth. Observe the point and .. o v.
ern yourself accordingly.
f AXfcS.
Owning to circumstances beyond
his control the tax gatherer will be a
little delayed in begining his labors
this fall, but will lc on his rounds
before a great while.
The increase of taxable property
in the county for this year over last
year is 5N.015 shown by the re
turn on the receiver's books.
The court expenses incurred by
the adjourned term of onr superior
court in May last, for which provi
sion ha 1 not been made, necessitated
upon tlie part of the recent grand
jury, a small increase of the per cen
tum of taxation upon the amount
recommended at the February term.
Hut notwithstanding this tact, the
total amount of county tax for this
year will he lilj less than it was
last year.
If it could be done, it would he
much less burdensome upon tax
payers, were our superior com ts so
managed, and conducted with such
dispatch as to obviate the necessity
of adjourned terms. Tis true that no
government or other well managed
organization can bo run without
having some expense attached, but
as n is to the interest of the people,
so it is clearly the duty of all public
servants to so manage all public
business as that it shall bo run at
the least possible expense, to make
it successful.
However we know of no way to
obviate court expenses, except our
people all become Quakers and rig
idly practice quaker principles on
the question of going to law ; and
were wo to do that, it would be equal
to throwing a dynamite shell in the
ranks of the legal profession.
Prepare for Grain Crops.
It may seem premature to talk of
sowing grain on the first da)' of t.he
first fall month, yet it is not prema
ture to suggest a preparation for the
same, nor to suggest that the want
of such preparation is to a great ex
tent the cause of failure in gram
crops upon the part of many farm
ers. There is no better season for
turning over such lands as will bear
turning than the month of Septem
ber, if such lands be stubble or grass
grown. An experience of several
years in growing oats taugut us that
such lands turned in this way and at
this season and sown in September
yielded much better than when kowd
late in the season, and that the oats
were not so apt to be killed with or
by the winter’s cold.
As tho cotton crop is not suffi
ciently advanced to demand con
stant attention, a few days just now
might he ver\ profitably spent in
this way.
Besides, grass grown lands which
it is proposed to plant in cotton next
i f l >n >perl v pjo wed wit h^.^oirr-
Darn plow at tins season, will be in
inueli hotter condition at the plant
ng season, than if plowed during the
winter. Wo know it sounds some
what premature to speak of making
preparation for a “new” crop of cot
ton before the old one lias matured,
but it is simply carrying out the
economical idea of working for a
new pair of pants before the old
ones are worn out.
Rye.
This grain is sown to a very lime
ted extent by our farmers. Why,
we know not, except it be that our
people have learned very little of its
utility. Oweing to the fact that it
generally yields poorly we would
not recommend it is a profitable
grain crop, notwithstanding it usual
ly commands a good price. If how
ever rye be sown on average land at
the beginning of the fall months it
will make a fine pasture for main
taining hogs and sheep through the
winter months. Stock hogs if* al
lowed access to it will thrive on it
through the dreary, cold months.
It will also make good pastures for
cattle through March and April
which is usually a hard time for
these animals in this climate because
of the absence of the grasses. We
knew a large planter in ante-bellum
days who. during the months of
April, May and part of June fed his
mules on corn and dry forage but
once a clay and gave them access to
rye pastures at night and his mules
kept in fine work order. And
would the planters of Monroe ar
range for and adopt this plan it
would result, not only in keeping
their plow stock in much better con
dition than is often done, but would
be a very great saving in the article
of corn, and thereby lesson the ex
pense of farming.
Read This.
As the moneyed season is near at
band, we, in the kindliest spirit re
mind those of our subscribers who
are in arrears that a settlement of
their subscription, in the early fu
ture will very materially help us.
The news paper business as every
other busines, to be successful, de
mands more or less money and as
we have kindly furnished you the
Advertiser through the dull season,
without demanding of you the cash,
we hope and believe you will as
kindly respond to our call now, when
we tell you that we need the money.
If there are any good ideas in the
brain of an editor, a very efficient
means of bringing out those ideas is
prompt payment of subscription.
CIVIS ARRAIGNED.
Editor Advertiser : —Doubtless
a broad *milr* illumined the physi
ognomies of such of your readers a>
had energy to tackle the columns of
“<ivi:- in your issue of the 18th inst.
To these patient perusers Urim and
Thununiin have doubtless been re
vealed. the light has come—Perfec
tion sealed the shinning ephodofyour
gallant champion—high priest at the
sacrifice of “sickly sentiment” and
“inalienable right.” But like the
wondcrtul light of the Mohamedan
heaven, this doubtful effulgence is
born of neither sun nor star— a dim
twilight that lias ever been the fa
vorite tumbling ground of blushing
valor and blinking ignorance.
Groping through the “cloud of
words with which your correspon
dent is pleased to envelope his bland
babblings and gentle obtrucsons,
we stumble upon the following state
ment; “men find it easy and gov
ernment makes it profitable to con
cur in established systems and prac
tices.”
As an absolute, unquestioned truth
that must rebound with injury to the
cause designed to be comforted, it is
too apparent for notice, was not the
grilling dwarf, malignity, so conspi
cuously enveloped in the swaddlings
of infant simplicity. Yes,“men find
it easy to concur in established sys
tems and practices.” It is simply
resting upon tho wisdom of the cen
turies; for there can be no enduring
establishment of system without
sense nor practice without reason.
Truth, in its grand march, has
crushed the blind tenets of republi
can boobies not less than royal bigots,
and the inheritance of “established
system” is the grandest structure,
to day in the seething sea of govern
mental fabrics. They find it easy
because wisdom points the way—
the grand Broadway—upon whose
mighty pavement countless millions
may surge in unison, but where
none may stop, and none retrace the
way.
Again, this writer assures us that
“free ballot is not the only principle
on which our government is found
ed,” and that “protection to person
and property is the paramount duty
of government.” This juxtaposi
tion of antagonistic ideas would
provoke a smile of derision from
Doestick s sable cuffee. If the bal
lot is not the principle, the corner
stone on which is founded a repre
sentative government of tho people,
then why this farcical appellation?
It is not only the stone that supports
tho palladium that protects —it is the
only artery through which flows the
life blood of republics. The ballot?
It is the giant from whose broad,
protecting shoulders depends the
starry ensign of your liberties—the
niiriad-jnoutlied trumpet whose
thunder blast is echoed not only in
national halls, but reverberates as
strongly in the blood-built temples
of local government.
Groping again through the thick
ening vapor of words, our sensibili
ties are touched by a blood curdling
chapter from a “lumber town,” that
would do honor to the fascinations
of tho dime library. The uncon
ciousness with which your correspon
dent adorns the utter irrelevancy of
this thing, is very touching In
deed the calm, unruffled manner in
which he forgets that this marvelous
bit of reconstruction bears no possi
ble relation to the question at issue,
is beautiful to behold, lie has evi
dently carried out his own sugges
tion, and divested himself so success
fully of all “previous” knowledge of
the subject, that he comes to us “un
biased” and “unprejudiced” by a
single coherent idea.
Feeling our way a little further in
the verbose labyrinth, we conclude
that the burden of* the next column
is “stop and think.” He is worse
than Balaam’s ass on this point.
The only difference between these
honest halters is, that Balaam ques
tioned the ass and Civis as'ed the
question : “which is better, taxation
without representation or represen
tation without taxation ?” As diffi
cult of solution as the famous query
in Georgia scenes, “whether or not,
at public elections, the vote of* fac
tion predominates by internal sug
gestion or the bias of juris prudence:”
weired, gloomy and prophetic, it
looms up in the shadowy realm of
the unanswerable, startling as the
question that stirred the anxious
soul of the immortal partington.
In conclusion, I will notice about
the only point in the piece that is
not entirely harmless. Perhaps it
your innocent(?) correspondent was
aware of the fact, that the graphic
picture which a mistaken idea of ef
fect induces him to make the apex of
this remarkable production, was due
directly to men appointed by the
unfailing sagacity of a grand jury,
he would not spill his classics so
lavishly along here.
It is a speculation not devoid of
interest that, one so deeply
versed in the autonomy of a coast
town should be so guiltless of
knowledge concerning the records
of his own county. W. P.

LETTER FROM FORSYTH.
Mr. Editor : —ln our last commu
nication we stated that we expected
to have a good time at commence
ment, and we were not disappointed.
The exercises of both schools were
fully up to our expectations. All
present seemed to enjoy it as “a feast
of reason and a flow of soul.*’ We
are looking forward now to the open
ing of the next session with interest,
already Hilliard Institute has open
ed under very favorably circumstan
ces, quite a number of young men
from various counties have entered
and seem to be well pleased. With
Prof. V. E. Orris energy and ability
we predict a successful future for
the institution.
The exercises of Monroe Female
College will open on the first Monday
in September, valuable accessions
will he made to tbe literary and mu
sic departments. Dr. I. it. Branham
an eminent divine, a hightoned gen
tleman and a teacher of tact and
reputation takes a position in the
literary department, while accessions
also will be made which will contri
bute to the efficiency of the music
department. Combining the ability
of these professors with the already
efficient board of instruction, we see
not why this college should not be
equal to the best. Knowing the loca
tion as we do to bea high, healthy one,
populated with a class of citizens
educated and refined, full of hospi
tality, feeling a deep interest in the
welfare of pupils that attend both
institutions of learning,—we do not
hesitate to commend it to all who
have sons or daughters to educate.
Board can be secured in the best
familess from ten to twelve dollars
per month.
We have traveled in various sec
tions of Monroe county, and we find
the crops very good. The seasons
have been good and the farmers are
looking forward to a bountiful har
vest. The Bermuda grass grows
luxuriantly and stock fattens well
on it bore. The stock law works
well and 1 think it would work well
in Washington county.
Parties, who are seeking homes
tor their families and wish to locate
among a good class of citizens, are
cordially invited to this county.
They will find a healthy good farm
ing country, and a good class of citi
zens. For further information on
this subject we refer to our land
agents, O. 11. B. Bloodworth, B. M.
Hathorn and Maj. J. R. Banks who
will take pleasure in selecting places
to suit the wishes of purchasers.

Crops generally through the entire country were never better than now.
As to the cotton crop it is certainly very unusual to hear of no complaint
from any quarter. If August should prove as favorable as the jiast month,
and the fall season be as usual, the crop will surely be the largest ever
raised in this country. With this flattering prospect before us, we hopo to
handle this season not less than ten thousand bales. We will be pleased
to see you at our
