A Club.
It was suggested to the writer a few
days ago, that a club be organized in
our town, the object of which shall
be to discuss in a general way, any
and all questions that pertain to the
interest of the town and its vicinity.
We heartily endorse the suggestion
as a good one, believing there is no
better method whereby' our people
can be brought nearer together fra
ternally. Oftentimes questions are
sprung among us. in which all are in
terested. and which, are, to some ex
tent, discussed by small groups of
our citizens, but such discussions
never reach the point of fruition. If
these questions were fully and freely
discussed in an organized club hav
ing in view the interest of all, they
would, more than likely, deveiope
into progress.
The advocacy of, and arguments
upon vital and important questions
brought out in this way would tend
to unify our people upon these ques
tions. and in union there is strength.
Street corner talks and storedoor ar
guments upon questions of general
interest, by isolated groups, will nev
er give the needed vitality to any en
terprise that promises enhancement
to Forsyth’s interest. Bat when we
as a community unite in club dis
cussions whereby the bottom facts in
important questions can be probed,
and our possibilities brought to light,
we may accomplish much.

Superior Court.
Monroe superior court convenod
yesterday, Judge J. S. Boynton pre
siding, with Col. E. Womack at his
post. The grand jury was organized
by electing Col. J. T. Crowder tore
man. This jury being sworn in, the
Judge proceeded to give his charge,
which was comprehensive and clear,
covering the subjects that grand ju
rors are usually called upon to inves
tigate. A rigid investigation'of any
violation of the penal statutes was
specially stressed. The Judge dwelt
in a very clear manner upon the car
rying of concealed weapons, gam
bling, selling intoxicating liquors in
the county', upon investigating the
records of county officers, public
roads, etc., etc. After the charge the
traverse juries were impanneled, and
the court proceeded with the regular
order of business.
AA r e noticed in attendance upon the
court the following visiting members
of the bar: Hon. It. P. Trippe, of At
lanta; Hon. A. AI. Speer, of Madison ;
Hon. J. I). Stewart, Hon. J. I. Hall,

promising all who may attend, not
only a laughable an 1 an enjoyable
occasion, but, one within the-compass
of gentility. The entertainment is
gotten up for the benefit of the Q, lit

present and close the season with an
hour’s healthful enjoyment. The

Through the press dispatches we
learn that Rev. J. D. Gray, recently
presiding elder, of Oxford district,
died in Florida, on 21st, 'lnstant,
whither he had gone wi‘h the hope of
recuperating his health, which had
been tailing for some mouths. He
was the son of Air. Joseph Gray of
this county-. Davis, as he has been
familiarly known to us from child
hood, was most exemplary- in charac
ter through his entire < boy-hood.
Trained by- pious parents, lie in early
life, entered upon the right way, and
developed into a good man. Having
graduated a few years ago at Emory
College, lie entered the ministry and
was rapidly moving to the front ranks
of usefulness, when disease stay-ed
his progress. He ledves a record as
suring us, who survive him, that he
has gone to receive his “crown of re
joicing.” AVith those bereaved we
heartily sympathize.

The SIOOO rrciiilum.
In this issue Bet calls upon the peo
ple of Monroe to eonsinder now, in
the beginning of the planting season,
the question of entering into compe
tition for the SI,OOO premium offered
by the agricultural society for the
best county display of farm products
at the state fair next October. We
cheerfully endorse Bet’s suggestions
as to our farmers planting with a
view to taking part in that display.
Now is the time to begin the work
neccessary to success in securing the
prize, and in making Monroe the
banner county for agricultural pro
ducts. Monroe’s success and grand
display at the state fair last year was
founded upon the efforts of compara
tively' few of our farmers. What may
it be made if all will unite? By la
boring in the right direction for the
premium you can lose nothing; you
may gain much. What say our en
terprising farmers?

A Narrow Escape.
Friday last the thirteen year old
son of Mr. Frank Little, residing a

hunting, and in getting over a fence
with his gun in hand, the gun by
some means was discharged, sending
two shots through his ear, tearing off
a portion of his hat brim, and shoot
ing away the thumb of one hand and
seriously injuring two of his fingers.
Persons handling fire arms should be
specially careful in the handling.
Nothing but the best work turned

Tiie Bubblf Party.
The soap bubble party at the home

number of our people gathered there
to engage in the fun and pleasantry
and right well did each one play their
part. Mrs. Dr. Moore took the prize
offered for getting off the largest bub

of the programme and Mr. W. E.
Sanders fell heir to the prize awarded
for pining the tail most appropriately
Prepare for the Fair.
. The fair is permanent!}' located at
Macon and next October there will
be the biggest display of agricultural
products ever witnessed in Georgia
Macon has taken hold Of the matter
in dead earnest and the fair associa
tion have placed at the head of the va
rious departments, the best men of
the society. At the last fair Monroe
county made an enviable reputation.
Shall she sustain it? It will be no
child’s play, for the thousand dollar
| premium for the best county display
will awake the sleeping giants and
we may expect Cobh, Talbot, Hous
ton, Sumpter, Dougherty and last, not
least Bibb, as competitors. Bibb,
with her Capt. Parks, Bass and Ross,
is “on the spot’’ and has the truck
gardens of a progressive city to draw
i upon. Bob Nisbet is an officer and a
! moving spirit of the association as
well as a member of the Holton club.
You may rely upon it that his county
and club will put forth every effort to
make the fair a succes and to bear off
the prize. Will Monroe allow it?
Will she face the music? The Monroe
farmer’s club, of Bolingbroke, will
again lock shields with Holton, but
without the hearty cooperation of the
entire county we may well dread the
issue. Court week is a good time to
talk the matter over and resolve to
put shoulders to the wheel. Let Cul
loden, Russelville, Unionville, Gog
gans, Cabaniss and Forsyth, each or
ganize its own club, and when the
time arrives we will pool results
and startle the natives. Whether
clubs are organised or not, let
every man in the county plant
for the fair. If he can’t plant
everything, plant anything, and don’t
hold back for neighbor Jack. Don’t
imagine that everbody will send up
this product, and, therefore, there is
no use for me to plant or to send up.
This kind of reasoning come nigh
proving fatal last year. Monroe’s ex
hibit of small grain and ground peas
was wofully deficient, and y r et there
was small grain in the county and
dead loads of goobers.
Let every lady in the county help
us in the dairy. Holton surpassed us
in this display and but for Frank
Ewingand the kind ladies, of Forsyth,
we would have been “distanced.” For
syth must help us again. Don’t be
afraid there will be too much of any
thing. AVe could tell you what and
how much ; but the Advertiser circu
lates beyond the borders. AA T e will
need everthing and a “heap of it.”
The people, of Alonroe county, are
not so ignoble as to suffer envy or
jealousy to hold them back in a good
cause. AA r e should kaow no section,
but go in as one brotherhood and go
to win. Bolingbroke expects to keep
up her organization to advance the
cause of agriculture, as well as to
strive for the premium at the fair,
but }f the other sections of the county
desire, and deem it best to have a
central and general organization for
the purpose of making the display,
she will cheerfully cooperate, reserv
ing the right to believe that she has
the man for manager —a man young,
active, ambitious, liberal, progressive,
aggressive, and of sound judgment. It
requires pluck, money, and a willing
ness to let it go, to run a county exhi
bition —and some displomacy. AVe
have the man combining all these
elements, and Alonroe should elect
him to superintend.
Let me beg the good women of
Monroe to interest themselves, and
save a chicken for me about the first
of October —I hope to be around. Let
Monroe retain the banner. Bet.

Mr. Editor:— Having just gradu
ated in penmanship, under Prof.
RatclifFe, if you will permit, I will
try tti eligibility of my hand-writing
for the Advertiser. Let me say in
that writing sehOidt of about fifty pu
pj is, as I saw some of nirf school mates,
now grown men and womeilfcoming
in with their buckets and basket if on
their arms, I often felt what the poet
sang “Fond memory brings the light
of other days around me.”
Our district, also boasts a music
school and a prospect of three literary
schools.
Miss Maggie Ilathorn has an inter
esting class in music, at Mr. R. H.
Watsons, Mr. F. L. Watts has a line
school of thirty pupils in Longtowr,
Mr. R. E. Wiiite lias an interesting
school here, and Miss Jodie High lias
prospects of a good school to open
soon at Mr. R. G. Watson.
Our district is not only on a boom
in schools, but in several other
ways. The problem of the negroe’s
future in our midst, is being rapidly
! solved. -They are emigrating, and
the whites are imigrating. God
j speed the good work and bless the
true men, who are dividing the large
farms and helping our hard working
young men to purchase small farms.
Hon. Wm. H Head, W. C. Corley
and our own worthy citizen, Jno. R.
Shannon, are materially helping us
in this way. And the ladies who are
ever true to our best interest, are
rapidly dispensing with freed-wornen
j as domestic helps.
Messrs. Jepthy Tingle, Cape Ham,
Andrew Brown, Charlie Tucker, of
LaGranga, Stephen Tingle and Jas.
Staples, have purchased, and are im
proving their homes in the northeast
of our district, whilst others have
moved into various parts of the dis
trict.
Messrs. T. P. and J. W. Mays at
Watson’s saw mill, and Mr. Henry
I Carson’s saw mill have been unable
to supply the demand for lumber for
j improvements.
Frankville, our brother town, not
our sister town, which now boast not
a single lady citizen, will soon have
to surrender, for Mr. Jno. Johnston,
l
who is to be the successor of Messrs.
George Sanders and Edgar McCord
ill merchandise, will perhaps carry
his family there.
Rumor says Frankville and Doub
lin depots are to be consolidated, but
we are reliably informed that rail
road officials know nothing of it.
The Messrs. Cochran are live busi
ness merchants, and iuchargeof that
depot. The freight oooks show heavier
shipments than any other depot be
tween Flovilla and Macon.
Last week the writing school
closed, spring days came, every bod.v
went to work, and papa’s long face
assumed its usual proportion.
Gardens are now being repaired
and planted, and the birds remind us
of spring and flowers with their
songs.
The cooing day appeared and we
had our rainbow and valentine party
at Mr. T. W. Priteh dt’s. And cupid
has not been idle, as we have had
several marriages lately, and rumor
speaks of others.

’Coon Callaway, It. C. McGough, W.
A. Allen, T. R. Talmadge, and a great
many others. The Grain Fertilizer
is manufactured by the GEORGIA
CHEMICA L WORKS, the same firm
who makes the
ACID,
w'e sell—the highest grade Acid sold
in the State. We would be glad for
every farmer to try at least one sack
upon corn and watch the results..
Mr. D. J. Proctor, last year, made,
upon 85 acres, 57 bales of cotton, and
upon 15 acres ot the same land he
made 15 bales, and upon one of the
acres he made 2,700 pounds of seed
cotton. He does not refer to himself
boastingly, or to appear egotistical,
but merely' to show what a judicious
opplication of commercial fertilizers
will do upon ordinary' land.
On the acre of land that made
2,700 pounds of seed cotton Mr. Proc
tor planted the
PEEKLESS SEED,
and now has them "for sale at SI.OO
per bushel. Parties wishing any of
them will call to see him and they
can be supplied.
