Witness my hand and official signature, th : s January 3rd 18 s 7. JohnT. McGi'tt Ordinary. 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. SIOO REWARD, SIOO. 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.

A Wokdcrful Story from Coffee Con nt j- —W■ 11 Barkplt Curie* llin 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.
