Fire.
Friday evening about 2 o’clock
the cry of fire was heard on our

burning of a cabin on the corporate

city. The house belonged to and
was occupied by a colored family.
It and all the furniture, with thirty
dollars in money was completely de
stroyed. Also two hogs in a pen
adjoining the house were burnd to
death. The fire was accidental and
all efforts to suppress it was unavaii

Correction.
Among the fair notes in last weeks
Advertiser was the following:
“The lady contributing the great
est number of fancy articles to the
bazaar will be awarded a prize.”
As tho above lias been misunder
stood we reproduce it for the pur
pose of explanation. It had refer
ence simply and solely to such “fan
cy articles” as the ladies could make
at home for sale at the fair, and no
reference whatever to contributions
solicited in or out of the county.

Watch the Mule.
A few evenings ago a young man
in the country went on an errand to
a neighboring village, bis convey
ance being the saddle on the back of
a mule. On the return home his
muleship was seized with a fit of
.u'pidYty and sprang otTiayudly for a
few paces and the.i suddenly rume
to a halt with a down cast head and
a hump back, while his rider per
formed a smmersault in the air and
measured bis length in the road.
The young man walked home lead
ing his locomotive. Watch that
mule or send for Texas John.

Change of Pastors.
Rev. A. W. Williams who has
filled the Forsyth charge faithfully
for the past two years will for the
incoming year fill the pulpit at West
Point Georgia. His zeal for the
cause he advocates i.-Y for vent. Dur
ing his stay in Forsy th, his exceed
ing interest for the young in our
community and especial!}’ tor the
children has eontiuously manifested
itself. Knowing that the h°U& for
the future of our country is largely
dependent upon the young people
and the children, much of his labor
has been directed to educating these
classes up to that high standand
which is elevating in its tendency.
We bid linn as pastor, adieu, hopeing
that his powers for usefulness may
continue to'grow stronger and that
the field of his labors may grow
wider.

The College Fair.
We would call attention of onr
readers to the fact that the college !
fair begins to-morrow an i will con- j
tinue three days, and that many and ;
valuable articles will be on exhibi- ■
tion and for sale. This is another
of the many '.audible efforts upon
the "part of our noble women to com
plete and put the finishing touches
upon the interior of Monroe Female
College which, but a tew years ago.
was in ashes.
That grand building now stands
as a monument to the educational
j zeal and liberality of its friends and
| there needs but little additional zeal
and liberality to bring it to com
pleteness and make vt one of the
neatest educational edifices in the
south. Her alumnae scattered over
Georgia and the south, recalling the
halcyon days spent upon those sa
cred grounds, are looking anxiously
to its final completion . and a liberal
effort upon the part of our people
| now will hasten that period. Ilenoe
we hope the college fair this week
will be liberally patronized so as to
enable onr ladies to accomplish the
! noble purpose for which they are
striving.

Superannuated.
Rev. L. J. Davies, known to many
of our readers, and especially to
those in and round Forsyth, having
a few y'ears ago served this pastoral
charge, was compelled on account
of infirmity and bodily affliction to
ask of his brethren of the recent
North Georgia Conference, that he
be placed upon the superannuated
list. For thirty-seven years he has
labored faithfully in the itinerant
ministry, having given his heart,
his mental ar.d physical powers to
the church. Now that in the Provi
dence of God he has passed beyond
tho effective line of ministerial work,
we hope the comfort of his declining
years ma} r bo made commensurate
with his labors in the past.

Completed.
The new church at Goggans was
completed on Saturday and turned
over by Messrs. Jossey and Walker,
the builders, to the building commit
tee. We learn that it is the best
and most handsome country church
in the county. The building of this
church, eon billed with theii flourish
ing high school, certainly augurs
u-<di for the citizens of Goggansville
and community. It proves That
they are a live people and that a
prosperous future is before them.
Nothing more clearly proves the
prosperous and progressive spirit of
a people than their zeal for church
and school interest. In whatsoever
communities church and school in
terests are found to be in a flourish
ing condition, will be found an ac
tive and prosperous people.

City Election.
On Wednesday last tho election
for Mayor and Aldermen of Forsyth
was held. The contest on day of
election was somewhat spirited. One
bund rod and thirty-nine votes were
polled as follows:
FOR MAYOR:
0. H. B. Blood worth 74
R. G. Andorson ol
FOR ALDERMEN:
J. A. Banks, (2 years) 131
S. F. Beckham, (2 years) 79
G. T. Brown, (2 years) 78
C. B. Alexander, (1 year) 124
R. P. Trippe, jr. (1 year) 127
A. W. Bramblett, (1 year) 75
A. A.Turner tilt
W. T. Lawson 59
G. W. Walker 56
Everything passed off quietl}' and !
the result was pronounced without !
euthusiam. The Mayor and Aider
men elect will enter upon the duties
of their respective offices in January’
next, and everything in our town
will doubtless move on smoothly as
heretofore.

Shortage in Cotton Crop.
B3' confering with a number ot
our farmers we obtain from them
the report that the cotton crop
of this section will be below that
on which they had calculated. Ad- :
ded to this shortage is the low prices
which have ruled on account ot the
continued unfavorable weather
which has prevailed through the
picking season. These two shorta
ges coming to-gether makes the
amount of money in circulation, less
than our farmer friends hoped for
during the summer season when the
growing crops were so flattering.
This fan. of itself should lead our
j people to consider well before stake
ing their all on any one crop, and it
certainly tends to convince us all
that a variety of crops is the safer
and more prudent method for the
farmer.

JUDGE BOYNTON-
Appointed to Succeed Judge 'Stewart as
Judge of the Flint Circuit.
On Friday* tho governor appointed
ex-Governor J. S. Boynton judge of
tho Flint circuit to succeed Judge
Stewart, who had handed in his res
ignation to take effect January Ist.
The appointment of J tidge Boynton
is for the term commencing January r
Ist, and ending when the legislature
elects a successor to Judge Stewart.
The appointment will not be receiv
ed with surprise by a 113' 0110 interes
ted in it, as for some time it has been
pretty generally* understood that ex-
Governor Iky ri ton would succeed
Judge Stewart. Judge Boynton was
twice a member of the senate. While
serving his second term as a member
of tho senate he was called to the
executive chair by tho death of Gov
ernor Stevens. He is well known
all over the state, is regarded as a
fine lawyer and it is believed will
make an admirable judge.

The Vice Presidency.
Since the death of Vice President
Hendricks the national attention is
drawn to the question as to whom
this vacancy will be given. On Fri
day last the republican caucas bold
in Washington unanimously nomi
■w>,Sr J 1,,L,, A T,i\ynn as
candidate for the president pro tem
pore of the senate and upon the an
nouncement of said nomination sen
ator Logan declined the same, claim
ing ability to do more good in bis
present position than as presiding
officer. Looking back to the mud
dle into which our goverment tum
bled in 1876 should constrain the
legislative department of Govern
ment to devise if possible, some bet
ter method than the present, of fil
ling the vaeances of President and
Vice President. Why can not the
electors be empowered by legisla
tive enactment to fill such vacancies?
It seems to us if the}’ are competent
at one time to elect a President that
if authorized so to do, they would be
equally competent at another time.
Stay Where You Are.
As the year approaches its close
we accasionally hear of persons, no
tably our young men, who contem
plate going west or south in antici
pation of finding a better country.
To all such we would throw out the
caution of harboring such a delusion.
Go where they will, they will find
no country possessed of better ad
vantages than this. Without cash
capital to begin with, the accumula
tion of a fortune anywhere is an up
hill business and that young man
who draws any other conclusion is
laboring under a delusion.
But with energy, industry’ and
economy’, coupled with prudence
our young men can acquire pleasant
homes rig' t here among their na
tive bill' tare constantly kissed
with tf ezes of health. Hence
we v,' say to our young men,
slay l ..ere you are and work out an
honorable destiny among your own
■people.
Commercial Failures.
Every week bringsannouneements
of more or less failures among mer
chants which has a bearing. The
failure of a large commercial busi
ness in any community has a de
pressing and deletrions effect npon
that community and is to be deplor
ed. We can but believe that the
credit system as practiced in the
south is the leading cause of these
failures and we equally believe that
as long as this system is persisted in
commercial failures will obtain.
Credit based upon iron-clad mortga
ges is an insecure foundation for a
successful business, and that man
who converts his capital into this
class of paper will sooner or later
find the wrong side of his ledger
account to be the larger while the man
who makes this class of papers his
purchasing power will ultimately
find hi n'-elf a bankrupt.
