MONROE ADVERTISER. FORSYTH, G A. BY M GTNTY A ' K BAS Tt ■■ ■ M : JAHUAR ' ' Clerks Must Work. The big men at Washington. who bo& government affairs seem to have nh JC' to business when thev are f'ODsbiering the rights of their paid clerk*. Through the press reports wo learn that a* a Cabinet meeting just prior lo Christmas, it nn- decided that the public business was so ur gent its that it would prove detrimen tal to its interest to allow the depart ment clerks a half holiday during Christmas. Vet the sequel shows that some of the bosses themselves packed t'reir trunks and left for a few hoii 6y'n recreation. But it is to be presumed that these governmental heads are over worked and there fore need rest. — The Right Place. The following suggestions from the National Stockman and Farmer are so pertinent and so applicable to the present when our farmers are planing for another crop, that we give them apace for the benefit ol mtr readers. The line herein Indicated is the one we have for a long time, and to the host of our abiltv, advocated and which if closely followed up by our people generally will lead to far (letter agricultural results than have hitherto obtained among us: Intensive farming might lie prae t’e and more extensively witlu ut de triment to the agricultural interests of this country. There is too great a tendency to farm too much land and spread over two acres the work ami manure necessary for one. Such a system gradually deteriorates the soil and leads to its impoverishment. Intensive farming, on the other hand, seeks to have each acre bet ter, after each crop is taken off, than it was before. The one necessarily leads to small farms, well cultivated, which is the index of flourishing ag riculture, and the other leads to large farms, broken down fences and neglected land, and is the bane of Hucceesftil tillage of the soil. Far mors need to learn to concentrate their energies, time, intelligence, labor, etc., upon a few acres, and make these produce more than ever before, instead of spreading their labor over so much surface that none of it can be made to produce its full quota. All these things have a tendency to tell upon the flourishing condition of this great industry. The corning in crease of population will gradually make intensive farming necessary, in order to* support the teeming millions who will yet thrive upon our soil. . yi NKW VEAR^ME.VfOS - tnvitatton repaired o> . e Proctor Houser, wo found ourselves onscouneed m most comfortable quarters and in the midst of a com pany of ladies, with no other male to aid us in entertaining them or had circumstances demanded, in de fending ourselves. But indications soon satisfied us that we were in the company of friends and that danger, if existing, was in the distance. Just then, there appeared upon Uic scene the veritable and übiquitous ‘-out door" man of the Telegraph whom we have claimed as our friend from boy-hood and of course wo felt doubly secure amid our harmless surroundings. One part ot the programme for the occasion wo found to boa quilt distribution. The six quilts presen ted for inspection were of the “Bog Cabin' design, splendidly fin ished, and composed of pokes ot silk and worsted. These quilts, inten ded as new year mementos for her children, were the resultants of the industry and labors ot Mrs. W. 11. Head, who is a lady of elegant lei sure. They were allotted in accor dance- with the legal process of dis tributing in kind. Mesdames Proctor, Ford, Smith, Simmons, Poe and Leary were selec ted by -Mrs. Head to represent the children. A number was placed upon each quilt, and corresponding numbers placed m a hat. The draw ing by the representatives was had under aunervßion of this deponent and the Telegraph man, who is -par excellence at other things than so Uniting subscribers for the popular Telegraph. This done, the party were invited Jo repair to mat elegant dining hall of the Proctor lions*, which had been kindlv tendered by “Mine Host and Hostess" for the occasion where we found numerous gleeful children and juveniles, who were also guests of the occasion, in the very sweet ness of- long drawn candy" and a table for the senior guests, laden with delicacies which had been .provided by Mrs. ilea ', kindly as sisted by the Misses Proctor who know precisely how to prepare those things which make a table in viting. Of course our readers will take it for granted that justice was done, especially by the newspaper men, the feast that had been spread. Owing to the absence of his bet ter half the “Telegraph man” here again displayed his special fitness for emergences by performing in good style the part ot gallant to a charm ing widow, and giving her that fcmd attention at the festal board which this class justly deserves. The pleasantness of the occasion made oar t*y seemingly short At this point, gs to this de- Hjunent. the curtail: fcjj and we had ft, haste away and the ardu- L duty of quill driving Is There in Gilean ? Is There no Physician There. Editor Advertiser Napolion said of -Murat, that he was “weak m council, but mighty in the field which was equivolent to saying that Murat lacked ability to conceive plans for military opera tions, hut when these plans were properly marked out to him. he was powerful in executing them success fully. So it has been in every age of the world. Some men are gifted by na ture with great executive ability, but they lack ability to conceive proper plans to inaugurate wholesome revo lution. \N hen McClellan was before Rich mond in 1X62. lie constructed forti fications and on these fortifications be placed huge guns, and under cover ol these fie constructed other fortifications, and placed guns on these also. In this way he moved steadi ly on Richmond, until the city was nearly within reach of thff shells from his guns. Just then Lee’s abil ity to conceive proper plans showd itself. He directed Stonewall Jack son to get in McClellan's rear. Jack sou like Murrat, was powerful as an executive officer. lie got in the rear of little Me. anti soon had him on the trot to Turkey Bond on the Janies River; nor did ho stand on the order of his going but went with rapidity to his gun boats, and coun ted himself fortunate in escaping to tal annihilation, for Jackson was making things lively in Mc.’s rear. Now here is where organization is formidable. With men like Lee and Napoleon to plan in council, and executive men like Murat and Jack son to execute, wonders can be ac compli.bed. '1 he various talents of men are brought to bear in this way. Nearly two thousand years ago, it was written, that men who had the power to prophesy, should prophesy and men who had power to interprit, should interprit and men who had power tocommunicteor teach, should teach. In this way the talents of all are utilized. Now farming is no exception to this general rule. It is a great mis take to suppose that no men, besides those who are successful farmers, can conceive proper plans for far mers relief in emergencies. Nature is not so prodigal of her gifts, as to bestow all ot them on one man. It was not the plans and counsels of the mighty' captains in the rebellion, that the king of the Hebrews feared, but the counsel of Ahithophel. So the king sent Husliai to defeat his counsels. Howard was not a successful ilicr Jaui d.id lixorg-^T^j^aUfij^^^ interest of man in Georgia. I’clft no taste for the rough^H tial to carry out his plan^^^^WHP ability to conceive proper plans, but lacked executive ability to carry them out. As farmers, let us util ize the talents of all. Let the man, who is powerful to give counsel, plan, and let those who are power ful to execute carry out those plans, anti just as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, just so surely will the larmers oat of their apparently almost helpless condition. Help must come from within and not from without. Some are looking to men from the north or west or from Europe to come in and develope the resources of our land. \Ve!l, what good will that do the men to the manorborn ? Did not the white men come to this fertile region ot Georgia, cut down the forests and make the howling wilderness to bloom and blossom as the rose? But what good did that do the poor Indian who was already here? It made him homeless: you in bring thrifty and money making men to this community and they will thrive, but the chances are that we will be driven to the wall on the Dar winian theory of the survival of the thest or strongest. It is a law of nature for those who are strong to absorb and crush out those who are weak. Big fish eat and fatten on small fish. This foreign element may devel ope the resources of this land, but while they are doing this, we anti our sons will become the “hewers of wood and drawers of water" for these people. The thing for us to consider is. how to develope the re sources ot this country ourselves. Indeed we ought to be ashamed to call in help. Let us bring to bear our own manhood and courage. When we do this, then, and uot till then, will we move forward. If good men come in from abroad, let us welcome them, but by all means let us not look to these stran gers to develope our resources; on the contrary, let us who were born in the sunny south, build up the south. We would be lacking in manhood to acknowledge our ina bility to do this by calling in help from abroad. Much is being written on the subject of a closer connection be tween this country and Mexico. They say our people will build rail roads and open and work the mines ot that country. This is true enough, but just as surely as that the erternal God rules in the Heavens, just so surely will the anglo-Amerieans rule the Mexi cans. In Mexico the people of the j L'nited States are called Americans. Well, closer political and commer cial relations with Mexico, will re sult in making the native Mexicans suborninate to the Americans. It will be a good tiling for Americans, but a poor thing for Mexicans. What was sport to the boys was death to the frogs. Some nations are gifted with what phenologists call accumulative talent. This talent bus no regard to learning or brilliancy of intellect, but often very stupid minds accumu late huge fortunes. It is more in stinct than talent. Sam slick said “a man of one idea often dies rich, while a man of many ideas may die poor. The Hebrews have always been distinguished fir their accumu lative talent. Look at the Hebrew slave sold into Egypt. How soon he owned the barns and their contents, and then the lands and finally the i people. r Look at Mr. Benjamin, who fled to England after the overthrow of tne confederacy. How soon he amassed a fortune 0f5600,000. They have been persecuted by every nation under Heaven, yet how soon they got rich, when they have a foot ho and The negro, as a race, has but lit - | tie accumulative talent, but if he bad that of the Germans or French, they would have owned, by this I Lime, most of the lands of this coun i try. The negso was accustomed to wear jeans and osnaburgs and to eat hog meat and corn bread ; was used to hardships and work, while the white men were, for the most part, ’ brought up in idleness and aceus ! tomed to high living. If we intro i duee a thrifty, working and money | class, such as tiie Germans as labor- I era, they will soon own our lands ■ and in less than three decades they I will have our sons employed as la borers to cultivate these fields. Then will the waste places bloom, but it will not help us or onr children. Those who are financially strong will always absorb those who are fi nancially weak. Education and in tellect has nothing to do in such matters. Look at President Monroe who died in New York, homeless and houseless and penniless, yet he was one of our greatest statesman. How much lias been said of the Monroe doctrine! Yet bis great talents did not enable him to make and hold money. Not many years after be died, a porter, who was em ployed at Barnum’s hotel in Balti more died worth §50,000. Twenty years ago when cotton sold for 35 to 40 cents per pound, the people of Middle Georgia imag ined that with mules and free ne groes, they would Aon reach the , long looked for Eldorado, working land year after year in clean crops. Som^noi^auGc^iesc^imne^^oi^ riches ? Have you made any prog ress? On the contrary have you not clawfished ? As men of com mon sense, shall we keep clawfish ing, or shall we order a hault and reverse the engine? To explain, suppose a man were to meet a squad of men traveling westward and he should inquire of these men where they were going and they were to reply they were on their way to Sa vannah, would they over reach Sa vannah traveling westward? Com mon sense teaches us that they would have to halt and change their course or they would not reach their destination. So it is with us farm ers. If we continue in the direction wo have been going for twenty* years we will never reach the El Dorado of our hopes. A change must be made, but what shall that change be? There is the rub. Doctors disagree. Friend Woodall of Barnesville i ' wants to organize “working bri grades." Hear him in the Gazette |of December 24th. “I wish for once in my life 1 was a good organizer, I : would organize “working brigades" : all over tiie south. I would uni | form them in calico and jeans with trimings to suit. I would arm them with needles, axes, plows, hoes &c., ; | I would want all ot both sexes from ; ten to seventy years. With this force all in the field “for the war," | debt, that foul invader of our happi ness and homes, and of even our pil ; lows and dreams, would be driven ! from our borders." A few weeks I ago our Bolingbroke philosopher ad- ; ; vised the farmers to go into caves and eat roots. This also appeared in the Gazette. Now let us see how this will work. | Just 2791 years ago a poor Tishbite went into a cave in one ot the moun- ! tains of Arabia ; but he had not oeen there long before a voice was heard :in the mouth of the cave saving, ] i “What doest thou here Elijah?” Sup- i pose thni our Bolingbroke pailoso- ’ pher should take unto himself much roots and go into his cave ; how long I does he suppose he will be allowed to . sit back on his dignity and eat roots, | : like a man or elegant leisure? j For when it shall be noised abroad in the land that Proff. Woodall's j ! “working brigades" from the land of j Pike are marching on Forsyth to j equip themselves with a goodly lyim- j her of Joe Brown's and Ralph Bank's confederate war pikes, and have done so. how long will it be before they will be marching in the j direction of Bolingbroke? Then | will history repeat itself and a voice will be heard in the mouth of the cave of our philosopher saying; “ W hat doest thou here Elijah ?" No my friend ; there is a work for you to do in this great agricultural revo lution. If you have not the execu tive power of a Murat, perhaps you may prove to be a modern Ahithop hel in counsel. And here in conclu sion let me reiterate what I have al- j ready said: that help must come from within and not from without. C. F. Turner. Decern her 27 1 £35. OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Editor Advertiser. Arp, the Cherokee Philosopher, wisely and wittily remarks that “old Anno Domini will tell." We need no effort to remind us that we are growing old. Here we are on the threshold of anew year, not knowing what of good or ill shall befall us before its weeks ami months are over past. But we shall not in flict a homily on your readers. Peachtree street was ablaze last night with the glow of new years festivities. By what magic this handsome thoroughfare has contriv , ed to secure a monopoly of fashion* able displays can not be readily ex plained. Capitol Avenue, Washing ton and Marietta streets, are adorned with beautiful residences, occupied by many of our most prominent citizens, but in the matter of society sensation tncy are notably outstrip ped. It is shrewdly suspected that; Peachtree is snobbish beyond any other quarter of this bustling me tropolis. You remember Gold move, the East India Director in “Thack eray's Book of Snobs," and that “el derly fairy” Mrs. Panto first cousin to Lord Rubadub. These historical snobs can be easily duplicated by* the fashionable drive of the Gate City. Men who disdain “to shake* the hand that wears a Berlin glove” and women beflounced and bejewel ed who “trot out” stale French phrases with an air insufferably dis gusting to persons of real culture. Of course there are numerous hon orable exceptions, but these are in a clear minority. The truth is that Atlanta is as yet in a chrysallis state as to art, literature and all tnat. In business matters and methods she is no laggard. It is simply a ques tion of time when she will become the political, commercial and manu facturing center of the south Atlan tic slope. An important factor in her developement is her persistent self-assertion. Just now she claims to have a bona fide Artesian well, and yet the water is lifted by a 20 horse power engine. In defense of of this statement she snubs Dr. White, the state chemist, and indul ges in a sneer at Le Conte the emi nent geologist. All of this indicates that Atlanta has back-bone, that sort of pluck that will win in the battle of life. After all Georgia is proud of her capitol city. If t’ou will place your self on the Norcross corner, you will see in the course of an hour, a large percentage of the ropresensa tative men of the state. It is won derful how wealth, population, in tellect and nearly all else are con verging to the junction of Peach tree and Marietta streets. Atlanta recognizes her day of visitatim and is working with a will to nnrke the Best ot her opportunity. By the way. the Constitution did a clever thing in feasting tli.Dfr ein |9K both resident and not)-resit' Hr The effort to boycott this en- journal is likely to prove failure. It has a permamint foothold and will live to its centennial year. The Journal is achieving jnerited success as an evening paper. Col. Hubncr, the editor in chief, jp a safe man and ho is well supplied by a staff of ready writers, ahe same may be said ot the Capifol, and its able editorial corps. Sam Small had favorable weather for his lecture on “The Social Thug” and his audience was greatly de lighted. By the way his friends are deep]}* interested in his evangelistic career, lie is indeed “a brand snatched from the burning,” and thousands of prayers are offered in his behalf. Whether he and Sam Jones will be able to conquer Cincin natti for Christ is a problem for our wisest thinkers. The powers of darkness are strongly entrenched and it will require thorough unity amongst the churches to dislodge and defeat the enemy. We bid them God speed. Kivaldo. What is the Cause ? The bursting ot steam boilers which is usually attended with great er or less destruction of life and property, has. become so common as to lead to enquiries for the cause of the same, is it because they are being made of inferior material ? or is it owing to carelessness upon the part of those who build them. It can result from the want of proper attention upon the part of those who are or may be ir. charge of, them. There is certainly a cause and a proper remedy, if possible, should be applied.
