EDGAR L. ROGERS.
Has Good News For The People.
For the next *ix weeks lam going to knock the prop from under high prices, and let
things tumble. Everybody talks ot hard times arid emphasize the statement that money
is scarce, but this shall be no excuse to cash customers for not buying what they need
in my line. I have a big stock of new, nice GOODS which ought to bear a legitimate
profit, but to make room for the big stock of Spring Goods I intend buying, I am going
to let them go regardless of profit.
It is the ta k of all that I carry the best selected stock ot Clothing and Dress Goods
in this market and I am going to make a specialty of these goods and will sell them
STRICTLY AT FIRST COST,
No freight, no expense added and I wiil show bills of Invoice if requested. So if you
w ant a suit of Clothes or a Dress you can get the newest and best stiies from me at ac
tual first cost. I mean what I say and will prove it. Besides
CLOTHING AND DRESS GOODS
I have a full line of other fresh goods that must go under the same condition. Such
goods as .leans. White, and Bed Flannels, Canton Flannels, Tickings, Bieachings, Sea
Islands, Table Damask. Ladies’ and Men's Underwear, Boots, Shoes, Hats and Caps, and
in fact every line will share the common fate of all. They are going to hump and don’t
\ou for get it, if cut rates and cost prices mean anything to buyers. My Startler is Do
mestic goods of all kinds at factory prices. Best Cailico 5 cents, 4-4 Sheeting s|c. 7-8
shining Ifc , Checks 6;c. I have a drive in a huge lot of
Drummer’s Samples in Notions
Of all kinds at less than cost. Now all these good things are going to be mixed up,
stirred together and j 1 ushed out my front door cost not considered to the bargain hunter.
Don’t foget me and what I tell you, for if you do you will hurt yourself. Come right
in, get my figures, and you won’t full to buy.
Messrs. HOWARD and BLALOCK are still on band to help me, and will be giad
to see their many friends. Very truly yours,

FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11. 1887
THE GODDESS.
The New York Tribune, with
characteristic inaccuracy, says:
“What under the sun ails the
Star-eyed Goddess down thtre in
Kentucky? The last congressional
delegation was a solid phalanx for
Carlisle, free trade and the flesh-pots.
This time three republicans will be
in this delegation, all of them in
clined to believe that the goddess is
no better than she might be.”
The last congressional delegation
from Kentucky was not solid for
Carlisle, free-trade and flesh-pots.
The Ninth district m the forty-ninth
congress was represented by a re
publican who did not have even a
speaking acquaintance with the
fair eyed daughter of reform.
There has been undoubtedly a
strange negligence and indifference
: n certain quarters, and this enabled
the republicans to add two to the
one solitary representative from the
Ninth district. One of these goes
from a doubtful district, which the
democrats can have whenever they
are willing to work for il ; the other
is democratic whenever that party
can heal its faction fights and unite
on one who represents the Darty
rather tnan himself.
But these defections are not due
at all to any waning in the varied
charms of the young woman who is
the embodiment of all political vir
tues, and, the world over, the sym
bol of liberty.
Reform is no less certain now
than before. There is no cause for
discouragement in the returns. In
New York, in Ohio and in Virginia
the democrats have lost strength,
but the principle of tariff reform has
lost nothing whatever.
The New York democrats were
not tariff reformers, and as demo
crats they were tar more effective in
opposition to it than the republican
representative could have been. In
Ohio the same principle of opposi
tion prevailed. In Virginia the
democrats were beaten because the
nominees repudiated the democratic
idea of reform, and openly planted
themselves on the republican or
the Blame platform of protection,
lu Mr. Randall Tucker's district a
protectionist was nominated, but he
failed ofa*i election. In the’Ninth
Virginia, the district coifedYe
C- fjri T "'* -•-. ** i ’""O’? if tx
of a high tariff, and were beaten by
2,000 majority.
On hand the gains made
by the democrats to countered these
losses were made in districts where
tariff reform was openly advocated.
So the democrats gain one in Ne
braska, in Colorado one, two in
Massachusetts, in Minnesota three,
and in New Hampshire one. In all,
the democrats have a majority of
fifteen, and it should put new vigor
and determination in the hearts of
our re presen ta ti vcs.
The part}- cat) not flow turn back
if it would. It is thoroughly com
mitted to reform. The republicans
are as clearly committed to opposi
tion to reform. The cancellation of
the bonds, a rapidly accumulating
surplus, and an economical adminis
tration make inevitable a large re
duction of the tariff or a commercial
disaster more severe and widespread
than any in the past.
The defeat of Hurd and Morrison
is cause for regret and motive tor
revenge. They have been beaten
by the money plundered from the
people. The Tin-plate Association
stands before the people in a posi
tion more damning than that of the
whisky ring. They are using every
means in their power —and they are
aided by the New York Tribune —
to push a stupendous job through
congress. Morrison prevented the
consummation of that intiquity, and
they poured money without stint
into his district to defeat him.
This will not discourage or inti
! midate the people ; it will arouse
■ them to anew sense of the danger
| to be feared from the ascendency of
I the many political rings, nourished
i and enriched by the tariff, and the
j last one will be swept away.
Prices in iSi6and 1885 Compaed.
An exchange sets forth the fol
lowing facts to show that, while the
prices now realized for farm pro
duce are low, the price paid tor
needed articles is correspondingly
low. On this subject it says :
In 1816 one bushel of corn would
buy one pound ot nails; in 1886 one
bushel of corn will buy ten pounds
of nails. In 1816 a pair of woolen
blankets cost as much as a cow; in
ISS6 a cow will buy five pairs of
woolen blankets, in 1816 it re
quired sixty-four bushels of barley
to buy a yard of broadcloth; in
1836 sixty-four bushels of bariev
will buy thirty yards ot broadcloth,
lu 1816 it took twenty dozen of eggs
will buy ten bushels of r,ait. In
1816 it required one bushel ot wheat
to buy one yard of calico; m ISB6
one bushel of wheat will buy twenty
yards of calico.

Under the above heading the Al
bany News and Advertiser has the
following:
The great speech of Editor Grady,
togeter with the prosperity of the
south, will turn the attention of
Northern men to this section as the
most favorable for settlement in the
whole range of the broad expanse of
these United States* The advice of
Horace Greeley will be ignored, and
every sensible man will say, “Go
South young man, go South.”
The tide of immigration has al
ready set in, and many localities of
the beautiful, the fertile and balmy
South are receiving daily accessions
to their brain and muscle. This
stream of nor.thcro emigrants is to
the south what the river Nile is to
Egypt —it is overflowing her fertile
plains with the promise of a bounti
ful harvest of good results.
The inhabitants of the inhospita
ble, frozen regions of the distant
north and northwest are turning
their eyes to the ever verdant fields
of Georgia, where the warmth of a
late fall is lust only to be found in
the balm) breath of early spring.
Those sections that advertise judi
ciously and liberally are reaping the
rich rewards ot their ’abor.
The News and Advertiser is right
i:i its views on this subject, and the
pcop4e ot Monroe will do well to heed
the hint it thiows out in the above
lines. Our county has good, high
toned, intelligent, and industrious
class of citizens as are to be found in
any county in Georgia, But we
need more of this class of people, we
need smaller farms and more ofthem
We need other industrious, energetic
and persevering farmers added to
those we already have The tide of
northern and western
composed of working ia< f| is turning
southward and they a tU. find no
better state than Ge rngpU And
while this tide is reaching its flood,
if the land owners o, oar county
which is located # in the warden
spot of the state will a m .jtidi-’
eiousl v, a branch ff m
of.emigration wi'■ '•
results, So y Already
more than oiuFikV / said to us
“1 will divide my ,e farm into
small ones and sell, it 1 can get
buyers.” We have a 1 read among us
numbers of hard working men who
own no lands—sell to these, and
give them time to pay you. Then
invite working emigrants and sell to
them, till the county is filled with
farmers as it should be.
The most valuable citizens of any
country are those with brain and
muscle, who spending their energies
upon the tillage of the soil, fill our
barns and larders with provisions
for man and beast.
To Prolong Life.
An old lad}* of New Hampshire
who recently celebrated her 80th
birthday by giving an elaborate
supper, at which every article, in
cluding the cheese and butter, was
made with her own hands, thus ex
plained the secret of her vigor and
health. “1 never fret over things I
help, I take a nap, and some
times two, every day of my life ; 1
never take my work to bed with me,
and I oil the many wheels of a busy
life by an implicit faith that there is
a brain and a heart to this great
universe, and that I can trust them
both.—Ex.
There is pith in the above remarks
of this old lady of New Hampshire.
Many people weary themselve much
over things they can not help—they
sleep well neither day nor night,
but suffer worldly cares and their
business matters to be constantly
pressing them day and night. This
is not just to themselves, to their
friends, nor to the world. The day
is intended for work, and when it is
day, work ; but when night comes
then rest, and leave the world and
its cares in the hands of him who
can govern aright.

The readers of the Advertiser will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that science
has been aide to cure in all its sta
ges, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is tlie only positive cure
now known in the medical fraterni
ty. Catarrh being a constitutional dis
j ease requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucus surfaces of the sys
tem, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease and giving the
patient strength, by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The Proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars, for any ease it fails to cure.

Croalor and is Stricken With
Paralyse**—The Death of
tne Victim’s Daugh
ter —A Terrible
wanting;.
Douglas, Ga., January 4.—“1
hopo that God may paralyze me”
were the words spoken by William
Burkett. At once his hands drop
ped to his side, his legs refused to
move, and his eyes rolled wildly
around. His prayer was answered,
as he stood paraiv zed on the spot
where but a few moments before he
was a magnificent type ot physical
manhood. Ho tried to speak, but
his tongue would not move. Haft a
dozen men, who were present, wore
rendered motionless by the evident
visitation of the hand ot God.
When they recovered self-posession,
they tenderly moved the afflicted
man to his residence, a halt mile
distant. When Miss Ilhody Bur
kett saw the plight in which her fa
ther was brought home, she scream
ed and fainted, and died a few days
later.
For years Mr. Burkett had been
the ferryman at the Hawkinsville
road crossingot the Ocmulgee river.
He was of giant physique, with long
gray locks, and became especially
noted because ot the brace of revol
vers which he kept strapped to his
waist. He was a great hunter, and
the-ferry being in the midst of a
swamp, ho was convenient to an
abundance of game. From those
who lived around him it is learned
that ho was fearfully profane.
Whenever he sighted game and was
called off from it by an alarm from
the terrv, ho would pour out such a
volley of oaths as would make the
flesh of ordinary men crawl. It
was while in one of these profane
spells that he cursed his creator,
and wound up with the expression
above quoted.
The news soon spread through
the conntry, and scores of people
called to see the victim. He was at
first completely prostrated, but sub
sequently was enabled to take a few
steps, when he would fall. When
spoken to he replies in an inarticu
i IVust j
can ascribe no natural cfiu.se for ...
affliction, but admit that it is a visi
tation of God. The preachers in
the neighborhood have used the in
cident in their sermons with great
effect.
TISE NEW PUESIDEST.
Sketch of Sen. Alexander, Hi* Rail
read Career.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, who will
succeed President Raoul, is a native
Georgian and is widely known
throughout the south. He was born
in Washington, Wilkes county, in
1835. His father was Adam L. Al
exander. The General received his
education at the West Point Milita
ry Academy, where he graduated
among the first in his class and was
commissioned in the United Slates
Corps of Engineers. He was for
some time assistant instructor in
the Engineer's Department, and was
attached to Johnston’s army and
sent as engineer officer of troops on
the celebrated Utah expedition.
The beginning of tne war found
him on the Pacific coast in dis
charge of duties as an engineer ofli
cer at a United States post far north
of San Francisco. He promptly re
signed his commission and made his
way with his wife to Richmond,
where he reported for duly and
took part in the first battle of Ma
nassas. He was appointed signal
officer of the arm)’ and was after
ward made chief of ordinance. Dur
ing a part of the war he was in
command of Longstreet’s artillery,
to Gen. Leo. After the war he was
called to the chair of mathematics
and engineering m the university of
South Carolina, where he remained
until the university was disorganized
It was then that Gen. Alexrnder
became identified with railroad in
terests. He was made superinten
dent ot the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta railroad, and gave so much
satisfaction there that he was Called
to Opelika, Ala., to take charge of
the construction of the new railroad,
then called the Savannah and Mem
phis road, which now forms a part
of the Columbus and Western.
While he was occupying that posi
tion the Central and Georgia rail
roads united in the purchase of the
Western railroad of Alabama, and
the}’ selected Gen. Alexander to
take charge ot it. His success was
so marked that he was shortly after
elected president of the Georgia
railroad to succeed John P Kir.g.
The brilliant success of his man
agenient resulted in his being called
to the first vice presidency of the
Louisville and .Nashville road, the
active management of which was
entirely in his hands during the
time he was in the office.
This position he voluntarily re
signed to return to his native state,
and in 1882, on the death of Mr.
Wail ley, being then a member of the
board ot directors of the Central
railroad, he was elected president.
This position he occupied tor tour
months, when he was succeeded by
Capt. Raoul. Gen. Alexander is at
present a member of the board of
Georgia eapitol commissioners and
i is a government director ot the
Union Pacific railroad.
ANTI-TREATING SOCIETY.
Macon, Ga., January 3, ISS7. —
To the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union : May 1 suggest to
you, and the ladies of your temper
ance union, the organization of a so
ciety suggested by the late Colonel
S. H. Jemison. 1 heard him say on
several occasions that if the ladies
would organize an “Anti-Treating
society” (using any other namo if
a better one could be suggested) he
would engage a hall, pay all the ex
penses and lecture twice a week for
it; that he was satisfied that the
great evil of intemperance was not
so much in the love of whisky as it
was in being importuned to drink
by others, and reciprocating the
mistaken kinduess. A custom of
the American people that was in his
opinion responsible for the great
evil of intemperance that has grown
so enormously. And if the ladies
who are working so laithfully to
overcome this growing evil would
adopt his suggestion, that he felt
satisfied a great revolution would
be the result, especially among the
young men of the country.
An oath or obligation similar to
this was also suggested by him: “I
do solemnly swear that I will
not ask any one to drink, or accept
a drink offered by any one of an)'
spiritous or malt liquors, wine*or ei
der; neither will I pay for er give
to any one any such liquor, wine or
cider, except by advice of a regular
practicing physician, in cases of
sickness, so help me God, and keep
me steadfast in this my voluntary
obligation.”
He also suggested that medium
size cards be issued with tins oath
printed on them, and that they be
sent in duplicate to all the young
men in this city, with a request to
sign and date them, and return one
to the ladies ol the temperance un
ion for register, aud keep the other
for exhibition when asked to take a
social glass. Any social features,
entertainment or lectures, would be
a matter of conference to be deter
mined at a meeting or meetings cal
led for the purpose, at which the ad
vice and counsel of the ladies could
be had.
The above is as near as I can rec
ollect Colonpl Jemison’s ideas, aud 1
give them to von for qonsider
embodies a sp'ondid suggestion. We
commend it to every reader. We
have no doubt that many, very many
noble hearted men are to-day the
victims of strong drink, who were
made so by the lamentable custom of
treating and being treated.
A Good Joke.
Many are fond of playing jokes, as
hiding a boy’s cap or a girl’s bonnet,
at school. Such things may some
times be done for amusement, or to
confer pleasure, but never to any
one’s serious inconvenience.
In one of our Colleges, a professor
who made himself very social and
familiar with the stndent, was walk
ing out with an inteligent scholar,
when they saw an old man hoeing
in a cornfield. He was advancing
slowly with his work towards tie
road, by the side of which lay his
shoes. As it was near sunset, the
student proposed to play the old
man a joke. “I will hide his shoes,
we will conceal ourselves behind the
hushes, and see what he will do.”
“No,” said the professor, “it would
not he right. You havo money
enough ; just put a dollar in each of
the old man’s shoes, thon wo will
hide behind the bushes and seo what
he will do.”
The student agreed to the propos
al, and they concealed themselves
accordingly. When the laborer had
finished his row of corn, he came out
of the field to go home. He put on
one shoe, felt something hard, took
it offand found the dollar. He looked
around him, but saw no one, and
looked up gratefully toward heaven.
He then put on the other shoe, and
found another dollar. He looked at
it and looked all around him but saw
no one. He then knelt upon the
ground, and returned thanks to God
for the blessing which had thus been
conferred upon him. The listeners
learned from the prayer that the
old man's wite and one of his chil
dren were sick, and that they were
very poor; so that the two dollars
were a great relief sent to them from
heaven. The old man now returned
home with a cheerful and gratified
heart. “There,” said the professor,
“how much better this is than to
have hid the old man's shoes.’ The
student's eyes filled with tears, and
he said he would never play another
joke upon any one, except in kind
ness.—American Messenger.
