PENCILLED NOTES.
Mrs. Purifoy the mother-in-laM* of
Mr. E. J. Banks is quite sick.
We regret to learn that Mrs. Sallie
Mays is suffering from sickness.
Mr Banks Alexander is detained
from business 011 account of sickness.
The Forsyth brass band has attain
ed sufficient proficiency to give us
some good music occasionally.
The weather of last Meek mixed
with warm sunshine and showers was
simply delightful and gave the young
crops a good send off.
The disposition to grape culture
seems to he increasing among our
people, judging from the increasing
number of prospective vineyards.
The early and rapid growth of the
bermuda grass on our common lands
will convince the most skeptical of
its superiority as a stock grass, hay
grass and fertilizer.
Lovers of fried chicken are begin
ing to discuss occasionally the crop of
spring chickens. Be patient, gentle
men and remember that the M inter
m as someMhat protracted.
The individual Mho will devise
some suecessiul plan for the destruc
tion of English sparroM’s, M ill prove
a benefactor to owners of gardens,
straM’herrv beds, and grape nurseries
in Forsyth.
The manner in which our principal
streets are being Morked, if continued,
will after a feM’ good workings put
them in such shape, as that very lit
tle work will be required to keep them
in fine condition.
Mrs. A. H. Bramblett gave a din
ning on Saturday at M hich M’ere pres
ent, her father, Mr. George Zellner
and her several brothers and sisters.
This m hs a family reunion and a most
pleasant occasion.
We saw last week, some fine speci
mens of strawberys groM’n by Capt.
\V. F. Gibson near Forsyth, The
Captain is giving fruit culture the at
tention it deserves, and no doubt he
Mill find it more remunerative than
an all cotton farm.
In passing, last Thursday, we no
ticed that the farms on either side the
railroad betMeen this point and Ma
con Mere in good condition The
young corn seemed to be groMing
finely, while on some farms M e notic
ed a good stand of cotton up.
Where the painters brush has been
skillfully applied on buildings in the
city, the appearance has been chang
ed for the better; and if our county
commissioners Mould have the court
house nicely painted and pencilled
off, we opine it would add to its at
! tractiveness.

Guano for Other Crops than Cotton.
We eall attention of our readers to
the letter of Mr. D. J. Proct-or in this
issue on the subject of guano, and in
vite their special consideration of the'
same. Mr. Proctor knoM’s M’hereof
he speaks, having learned the facts
from actual experience. We fully
endorse his views regarding guano
for potatoes, it having proved the
best fertilizer for that crop we have
ever used.

Honor to Our Colored Citizens.
Good example, some of the colored
citizens of Forsyth, having learned
that floM ers were wanted to be sent to
Atlanta for streM ing the pathway of
Mr. Davis, volunteered their contri
butions cheerfully. Such conduct
reflects to the credit of our colored
friends, and contrasts finely M ith the
meeting at Albany, X. Y. whose
members met ostensibly to sing
and to resolve, but actually to hiss.
The former acted like men, the latter
like geese.
THE GRANDOLD HERO!
EX-PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DA.
VIS HONORS FORSVTH.
An Immense Crowd Greet Him—He
Speaks Words of Soberness and
Truth —Kor) th Did Welt.
Hon. Jefferson Davis passed this
point about 12 M. Sunday, accompa
nied by* Gov. H. D. MDaniel, of Geor
gia, Gov. O’Neal, of Alabama, and
two companies of military of Mont
gomery, Ala. The engine was well
decorated with flags and the special
train litterally covered with bunting.
A vast crowd of people were assembled
at the depot to greet him. The train
stopped about two minutes, during
which time Mr. Davis, with Governor
McDaniel, occupied the rear platform
and returned thanks for the greeting,
and gave a few words of encourage
ment to the throng of people before
him.
As we looked upon this grand old
man, whose fame is world-wide, we
were at once carried back in memory
more than twenty y r ears ago, when we
saw him, vigorous and strong, riding
erect over the tented field, the chief
executive of a government, then
disturbed by’ the mightest martial
convulsions that ever shook a conti
nent. After his minute talk Mr. Dax*is
bade us a kind good-bye and went on
his way, carrying the good wishes and
good will of every one in that vast
crowd.
PICNIC AT HIGH FALLS.
Laying aside the harness of duty
early Saturday morning, we set out to
spend a day of relaxation and attend
the annual picnic at High Falls.
Though it was the first day’ of May
y r et the cutting northwest wind ad
monished us before starting to don
our overcoat, which we found to be
a comfortable companion during the
long and pleasant ride. Seated in
one of Mr. Proctor’s Rest carriages
and behind one of his strongest teams,
we felt quite sure of pulling over any’
obstacle that might chance to be upon
the high M ay’. Having passed over
this road one y r ear ago, we could dis
cover as we passed along Saturday
some improvement on the farms.
Along this route are several pleasant
homes of M’hich much might be said
but time forbids.
All the cultivated portions of the
farms on either side of the road are in
fine condition and give evidence of
the fact that the farmers in that sec
tion of the county’ have been at work
and that they are M’ell up Mith their
business. Notwithstanding the un
even and rolling surface, there are
some splendid farms along this route.
Owing to the recent protracted winter
and cold spring the growing crops are
somewhat backward. Corn, though
looking healthy, is small, while the
cotton is just beginning to come up.
The small grain crops are like Mdse
small and will require very favorable
seasons to produce an average crop.
In traveling over this road we could
but be impressed, as M’e are iriNpas
sing over many of the roads of our
county, that at many points along
our public roads, the law as to the
width of the road is not observed,
which laM’ requires that the bed of our
market roads shall be sixteen feet
wide. At some points in many’ of our
roads the narrow ridge or road-bed be
tM’een dangerous gullies on each side
of the same is not wide enough for so
small vehicles as buggies to pass each
othre. This state of things has grown to
be a fact because of the hasty and indif
ferent manner in which our public
roads have been M’orked generally
since they were marked out, more than
sixty years ago. A little more time
and attention devoted by road over
seers to these particular points would
in a feM’ y’ears greatly’ remedy’ these
defects. But we now take up the pic
nic thread again. We reached the
Falls about 10 a. m. and found a
large eroM'd assembled and ready’ to
engage in the pleasures of the day’.
After basking a few minutes in the
sun’s rays, we took our better-halves,
who M ere strangers to the place and
its surroundings, to the north bank of
the river and down to the foot of the
falls M’here they get a good
vieM- of that grand, natural scenery.
After a short stay at that point and
taking in all that M as open to the eye,
we wended our May’ up the craggy
hill, recrossed the bridge and returned
to the picnic grounds proper, to mix
and mingle Mith friends and stran
gers. Married people, young and old,
M idoM ers, widows, candidates, young
lovers, and SMeet-hearts in their teens
M'ere there in numbers, but the
“dudes” seemed to be scarce. Save
the feM’ young people Mho engaged
in the dance, all passed off the day in
social and pleasant converse, prome
nading &c.
Having previously accepted the in
vitation (to dine M ith him) of that
kjud hearted, genial gentleman Major
J. F. Childs, we repaired about 12
m. to his carriage, by Mhich, upon
the ground, M as spread the table linen
cloth, covered M ith an elegant, tempt
ing dinner, such as is charicteristic of
those good farmers, M ho, like Major
Childs, produce their supplies on
their farm. Without going into spec
ifications, M*e simply say’ that then
“bill of fare” Mas complete; that the*
eatables M’ere gotten up in splendid
style, and Mere as bountiful as a gor
mandizer could wish. We found that
the Advertiser has many Mell-wishers
in that part of the country. We
found in attendance representatives
from Jackson, Griffin, Barnesville,
Goggansville, and other points, M ith
a large delegation from Forsyth.
Barring the disagreeableness arising
from the cold, blustering wind the
occasion M as ordinarily pleasant.
We returned home late in the after
noon, feeling that we had, indeed, had
a day of recreation.
The Bom Cow.
Much has been and is being Mritten
about com’s, and especially’ the Jer
sies but judging by the quantity of
milk and butter she produces, Mr. W.
T. Lawson certainly purchased the
boss cow of this section, from Mr. W.
F. Dewbery last M eek. She is a Mon
roe county raised com - and has no
record; nor do we knoM- from what
breed she has deceuded, but a cow
that furnishes between five and six
gallons of rich milk daily’ deserves a
record. According to a dairyman’s
estimate Mr. Lawson's com’ is worth
SIOO, M’hether she has Jersy blood in
her veins or not.
?lrs. C. Wilder.
Is, as usual well up M ith the times
with a beautiful stock of spring and
summer goods. Selected by herself
leisurely and M ith special care, her
stock of milinery is complete, em
bracing the novelties and latest de
signs in this line of goods, and enables
her to suit the demands of the various
classes of customers. Her dress goods
department contains an exquisite
line of this class of goods, and verifies
the taste of Mrs. Wilder in making
selections. Her notion department
embraces a full line. She lias supple
mented her business M ith a shoe de
partment in which is to be found a
choice line of ladies, misses and chil
dren’s shoes. This choice stock of
goods is put upon the market at rea
sonable figures, and we bespeak for
Mrs. Wilder the patronage from our
people she justly deserves.
Hardware, Crockery, Etc.
Among the many complete and
splendid stocks of goods in our city’
is to he found the M-ell assorted stock
of hardM’are, housefurnishing goods
and farm implements of Mr. S. F.
Beckham, whose perseverance, ener
gy’, and close attention to business sup
ported by~ his unswerving integrity*
has given him a merited pos’tion
among business men. His crockery*
department is filled with every* grade
from common to fine, accompanied
W’ith an elegant line of GlassM’are. In
the house furnishing department M ill
be found the latest improvements and
most modern styles. The latest im
provements in farm implements he
also otters to the trade, consisting of
hoes, plow hoes, planters, plow stocks
&c. A close study of business, and
watchfulness of the needs of the peo
ple, fits him for the selection of such
articles as the times demand. Mr.
Beckham is offering his attractive
stock to the trading public at favor
able prices, and we bespeak for him a
•liberal share of patronage.
Crowded Out.
For the last two issues of the Ad
vertiser we have received some com
munications M’hich, owing to circum
stances beyonid our control, have
been crowded out. They have been
in type, but for M’ant of space M’e have
been compelled to leave them out,
which fact we regret, but could not
help, and the continued delay has
thrown them out of time. We render
this as an excuso for their non-ap
pearance, and hope our correspon
dents M ill accept this excuse when
M’e assure them that we could not
control the circumstances that lead to
this delay. We appreciate these
communications and would gladly
have given space, but the fates for
bade, and M*e had to y’ield. With
this statement of the facts before
them, we hope our correspondents
will continue to favor us M’ith their
notes &c., as we trust M’e shall not
have another such a break soon. For
the same reason the childrens col
umn has been closed to them. Some
of their communications have come
to hand which we likewise appreciate.
But because they have not had a
shoM’ing, M’e hope they will not grow
impatient and quit, but continue to
write as their little letters are weir
come and shall have space as soon as
possible.

i His theme, “A True Woman” Mas
quite appropriate and M-ell handled.
| Prompted by* an ambition, to do what

his efforts are generally crowned
M ith success, as on this occasion. He
has been very appropriately classed

Mhich classification Mas won by his
eloquence in our legislative halls,
M’hile faithfully serving the people.
The thoughts, in his address to the
Zetas, clothed in chaste language and

and calculated to arouse in the mem

the duties of life, and to them
Mith a zeal to reach the grandest

t A street adherence to, and heeding of
the M ise counsel given them on this

large number of stock of all kinds.
By the use of Guano the amount of
these crops were double what they
would have been yvithout it There
is no crop that Guano yvi 11 pay bet
ter on than sweet potatoes, peas,
forage, &c.
Novv, Mr. Editor, if you yvill call
attention of the farmers to these
facts, and thereby induce them to
try guano for these crops, next fall
you will not hear the oid cry that
“Guano does’nt pay,” as is the case
when used under cotton alone. I
have still some Guano on hand and
can order yvhen needed, and yvill sell
for currency notes payable next fall
at lowor prices than the same goods
yvas oversold before.
