Tle Jltlistrel Entertainment.
According to previous announce
ment the Forsyth Brass Baud Min
strels gave an entertainment at the
opera house Friday night. There
was a large audience in attendance
among whom we noticed a number
of visitors from other points.
The programme consisted of puns,
songs, and plays, interspersed with
music by the band, closing with a
recitation, by Col. Emmett Womack,
detailing how Ruby plaid on the pi
ano, as his performance appeared to
a rustic. The Minstrels appeared
to good advantage and their perfor
mances at times elicited considerable
laughter.
The puns gotten off were very good,
some of them being highly encored.
To the punsters there appears a strong
resemblence of young men to female
college presidents the resemblance
growing out of the young men’s
special watchfulness after the inter
ests, of the girls. The minstrels,
notwithstanding their limited op
portunities for practice, get up a
very enjoyable entertainment.
In telling how Ruby played Solici
tor Womack demonstrated that he
not only knows how to trail, by legal
process, the tracts of a criminal and
to weave around him a web of testL
mony that binds him to guilt but that
i he knows how to recite a recitation
also.

A 1C u ii axv ay.
On Tuesday evening last we had a
runaway on our streets that created
more than usual excitement.
Mr. I. S. Maynard, having his horse
hooked to the buggy, went to adjust
the bridle by taking it off and re
placing upon the horse’s head. When
relieved of the bridle, the horse
moved off, and becoming frightened,
began to run. Being headed off by
parties on the main street, he changed
his course and entered upon the side
walk east of the square near Sharp’s
corner, and made rapid headway
down to Lawson & Co’s, store, where
in leaving the sidewalk the buggy
struck a shade tree, stopping the
horse long enough for persons near
by to get control of him. In his flight
upon the sidewalk, the buggy struck
Mr. Sanders’ pea-nut roaster and
samples placed there, and knocked
them into “ smithereens,” espe
cially the eggs. Some damage was
done to the buggy Fortunately no
one was injured. The runaway
clearly demonstrated the fact that
when a runaway horse Hooked to a
buggy enters upon a city sidewalk in
a run, the people readily yield him
possesion. The antics of Mr. May
nard’s horse put Mr. B. F. Hill’s
mule, which was hooked to a buggy
in the street, in motion without a
driver. But from the manner in
which his muleship ran, it might be
inferred that the mule was only in a
hurry to get home and really inten-
ded no mischief. While fortunately i
the damage done was slight, yet from
the runaway may be drawn the moral
that it is not only unsafe, but danger
ous to take the bridle off of any horse j
while hooked to a buggy, or to leave
a horse or “mule” standing in the
street hooked to a buggy without a
driver.
If you want your buggy or car
riage repaired and painted in superb
style carry them to
W. H. Ashworth’s.

C'Uurclt Services.
Rev. J. R. Parker, the pastor,
preached at the Methodist church
Sunday morning, founding his re
marks upon the character of Corne
lius, the centurion. That pulpit was
occupied at night by Dr. W. H. Pot
ter. His sermon was based upon
Jesu’s reply to the scribe, “Let the
dead bury their dead; follow me.”
Flis exordium was very clear and the
application of the text calculated to
awaken serious thought. Dr. Potter is
among Georgia’s able preachers.
Dr. Branham, pastor of the Baptist
church, filled his pulpit Sunday
morning, and gave hss hearers, as he
always does, a good sermon.
Rev. C'. A. Turner, of Quitman, Ga.,
occupied that pulpit on Sunday night,
preaching to a large audience.

Read the Memorial Notice.
In this issue will be found a notice
from the secretary, calling upon the
members of the memorial association
to meet at the Methodist church, on
Thursday next at 4 p. m. This is a
step in the right direction. It is
right and proper that we should pay,
at least, an annual tribute to the gal
lant dead who died in defense of their
country. Though the cause for which
they died was lost; and though their
bodies are mingled with the dust, yet
their deeds still live. Since the per
petuation of these memorial occasions
have been left to our noble women,
we hope they will enter into the com
ing memorial service with a hearty
good will. And to this end we insist
that every lady in Forsyth and vicin
ity, who can, will meet at the Meth
odist church on Thursday to perfect
arrangements for the same.

Corn Planting:.
We learned through farmers, in at
tendance upon the court last week,
that a number of them had commenc
ed to plant corn. The weather, save
Saturday, was excellent and the
land in favorable condition for farm
work. Now that the planting season
is at hand, we suggest that with a
large number of farmers, the corn
j crop is not given sufficient prominence
■ Notwithstanding the fact that the
| corn crop of last year was splendid—
so declared by all our farmers—yet
much corn is now being bought with
which to make the crop of this year.
This is pretty clear proof that our
farmers do not plant a sufficient
acreage in corn. Hence we likewise
suggest thatour planters bear this fact
in mind and plain a larsre portion of
their crops in corn. For farmers who
fail or refuse to produce a sufficiency
of corn for home consumtion grow
rich, if at all, slowly. .
Superior Court.
Court convened on Monday of last
week and after organization proceed
ed with the regular business. There
was an ordinarily full docket and a
goodly number of our citizens were in
attendance upon the court each day.
The first days of the court were con
sumed principally with cases of minor
importance, hut few of which went to
the jury, a number being disposed of
otherwise. The latter part of the
week was devoted to cases of more
magnitude and importance. Friday
morning when in the midst of an im
portant ease owing to the sudden ill
ness of one the counsel, the case
stopped; and after some little delay
caused thereby the court proceeded
with other business.
Owing to the manner in which cases
are usually conducted in the Superior
court, notwithstanding that after trial
the County court for this county at
the will of the people, was abolished,
yet we are decidedly of the opinion
that a county court properly conduc
ted under strict rules would result
beneficially to the county and people,
especially from a financial standpoint.
In a qounty court where business is
properly dispatched, many trivilous
cases would be disposed of almost
without litigation and at a nominal
cost, the trials of which cases before
the Superior court pile up a consider
able burden upon the county. ’Tis
useless to consume space in showing
how this is done. Every ordinary
observer who attends upon the session
of our Superior court, sees and knows
through what channel this burden
comes.
We admit that from county courts
wherein inattention,'delaysand indif
ference to the dispatch of business are
allowed, no great good can accrue.
But when the business coming before
a county courtis properly dispatched,
much time in the Superior court
would be saved, and therefore much
saved to the people.
The grand jury did not finish up
the work before them, and will there
fore be in session a portion of this
week. Thursday evening they reelec
ted Judge J. F. Childs as county
eommisioner, Judge Childs having
served on that board four years.

Marriage.
As announced in our last issue Dr.
W. S. Edwards, of Birmingham, Ala.,
and Miss Ella Smith, of this city,
were united in marriage at the home
of the bride’s father, Mr. J. H. Smith,
Rev. W. F. Smith, of Culverton,
grand father of the bride officiating.
A number of friends of the contract
ing parties were in attendance. The
ceremony over, the bridal couple left
for their home in Birmingham. There
was quite a number of handsome
presents from friends of the bride.
By this marriage Forsyth’s loss is
Birmingham’s gain. Our best wishes
go with the bridal pair. May their
joys fade not and their pathway
brighten as the years come and go.
On Wednesday morning Rev. Mr.
Smith, who officiated at the marriage
alter of his grand-daughter the night
previous, administered the rites of
baptism to his first and only great

of Col. and Mrs. B. S. Willingham of

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.
Mr. Editor: —I presume no one
will deny the fact, that it is the duty
of all good citizens to look to tle ma
terial prosperity and building up of
the community in which they may
live; and there ean be no division
among such, except as to the manner
and means of accomplishing such
ends.
There is a matter, that, to my mind,
is hardly second to any other, that
has been from time to time discussed
through your columns. I desire to
call attention here to this matter, be
cause it is one that appeals to the
good sense of every true business
man; and I will perhaps give force to
my argument or attract attention to
tlie subject when I tell them it is a
subject of dollars and cents.
Aside from any other consideration,
this will perhaps lead your readers,
who are directly interested, to con
sider the matter. I refer to the sub
ject of protection. What shall we
do in the matter? Will we consent
to go longer without making some
united effort to do something towards
both, the prevention of, and protec
tion against fires? Each of these
questions are momentous, and the
simple mention of them should be
sufficient to arouse us from our le
thargy, and seeming indifference,
and to put us to renewed effort in this
line.
It is a well known fact that our
beautiful little city has suffered keen
ly from this want in the past. Now I
submit, in the first place; can not
something be done towards getting at
the cause of the fires that so often oc
cur in our midst? Are the laws de
fective in this regard? If so, can not
such laws be enacted as will cause
the incendiary, if such there be, to
stop and consider whether or not
“his sin will find him out?”
Suppose a person should be found
on our streets some morning with a
pistol ball in his brain or heart,
what would be the steps taken?
Why, your coroner with a jury of
your best citizens would, at once, in
vestigate the case, to ascertain
whether or not the indications point
ed to a murder, suicide or accident;
no stone would remain unturned in
efforts to solve the mistery.
Does not a fire, if the cause be un
known, where life and property both
are endangered, and lost, call for
such an investigation on the part of
our people? It may be said that the
law does not make such provisions,
and this may be true. Then let some
of our legislators who have the inter
ests of the people at heart, cause such
a law to be enacted, and let it be
known that every fire in all the state
will be rigidly investigated, and you
will hear less frequently the cry of
fire.
But there is another fact, (of fig
ures) that I desire to call attention to,
of local interest. The citizens of
Forsyth pay annually about six or
seven thousand dollars in insurance
premiums; of this amount about
twenty-five per cent, is added, say
$1,500 to $1,750 on account of an inad
equate supply of water and an or
ganization to extinquish fires. Fire
insurance companies do not propose
to do business for the fun of it, or
from benevolent motives. They must
be paid for their commodity, and if
the citizens will not protect them,
they must protect themselves by
making said citizens pay for the in
crease of hazard on account of the
want of this organized fire depart
ment. Now would it not oe a good
idea to invest thissl,sooto $1,750 paid
to the insurance company every
year, for, say, two or three years, in
purchasing a No. 1 steamer and in
building cisterns ?
I submit this proposition to-wit: a
levy of an additional tax sufficient to
raise ssooannually for ten years would
be sufficient to secure this; and in
that time the people would have
saved ten thousand dollars in extra
insurance premium, besides the
amount paid for the steamer, and
perhaps will have saved as much or
more in the value of property.
I know Mr. Editor, that our people
think they are already taxed as much
as they can bear, and I agree that the
burdens are not light; but they are
taxed any way, if not by our munici
pal fathers, they are by the insurance
companies, and that for more than
sufficient to pay for the protection.
There are other arguments that should
cause us to take hold of this matter,
and adopt some means to rid our
community of incendiary characters,
if any there be, and to protect our
property from fire, but these are suf
ficient for the present. Let us think
on these things. Truth.

Lrttrr from Forsyth.
A corresspomient from Forsyth to
the Sandersville Herald of recent
date saj’s:
Forsyth, Ga., Feb. 27,1857.
Editor ok Herald: Please allow
me a few lines in your valuable paper.
Forsyth is rapidly building up, sev
eral new houses have been erected,
and a good many repairs made in the
last twelve months, which adds very
much to the appearance of the place.
Our proficient Mayor, J. It. Banks,
is adding to the beauty of our town by
having the old scrub trees takes up
and new ones put in their stead; when
his plans are carried out the place
will be greatly beuefitted, in fact our
Mayor and town council are men of
enterprise, calculated to do much
good for the growth and morals of our
town.
The schools are on the increase, and
are worthy of liberal patronage. Any
one wishing to give their sons and
daughters a thorough education this
is the place to send them; board is
cheap, tuition reasonable, the town
healthy, society good, much pains are
taken in making the boyg and girls
from a distance feel at home.
I wrote somethig in my last com
munication about the working of the
stock law. Ido not understand why
it is that farmers had rather keep
their plantations fenced up when one
fourth of the morey would keep pas
turage for the stock by having no
fence. Acres of good spots of ground
could be cultivated that is taken up
by fence room. In my travels through
this county T find good many spots of
fine corn, cotton, peas and potatoes
growing luxuriantly that wouldn’t if
we had fence. I havent heard a man
in Monroe county say that he was in
favor of fence. All favor the present
law. There is no split on that ques
tion with the people here, as it has
proven to be money in the pocket.
May Washington county people
wake up on this subject.

A. Allen, T. R. Talmadge, and a great
many others. The Grain Fertilizer
is manufactured by the GEORGIA
CHEMICAL WORKS, the same firm
who makes the
ACID,
we 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 hales, 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
opplieation 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
PEERLESS 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.
