pleasantly in social intercourse, the

spent the remaining hours in making

Another Runaway*
Yesterday morning as Mr. Ebbie
Pharr was coming into the city driv
ing his horse hooked to a one horse
wagon the horse, from some cause,
began to run. When he reached the
square at .Sharp’s corner he was un
der good headway, and evidently be
yond the control of his driver. Ebbie
realizing, this, and seeing as he
thought approaching danger, jumped
out of the wagon, when he found
himself entangled in the lines,
whereby he was dragged about thirty
feet before getting freed from the
lines. The horse continued to run
around the courthouse square until
reaching Bramblett’s corner, where
the runing gear of the wagon, the
body having been thrown off before
that, striking some farm implements
upon the edge of the sidewalk, was
completely upset and thrown in front
of the lurse, and brought hill) to a
stop. Mr. Pharr was eonsiderably
jarred, but not seriously hurt. The
wagon was a wreck.

Still Improving.
While a number ofbuildings, most
ly dwellings, have been erected and
others remodeled and repaired during
the last six or eight months, yet the
mechanic’s hammer is not idle.
These new buildings have added
greatly to the appearance of our town.
Indeed the improvements which
have been erected alortg tire northern
terminus of Railroad Avenue, give
that vicinity the appearance of quite
a live suburb. We hear of other
dwellings to be erected in the city
during this spring and the conring
similiter, and that homes in Forsyth
are still in demand. Let the work of
building homes coutinue; they will
be filled.

Shooting Affray.
Saturday night there was a negro
frolic on the farm of Mr. C. A. Ensign,
about two miles from Forsyth. While
there a dispute arose from some cause
which resulted in a shooting affray,
in which ten shots were made. Chas.
Davis shot Bill Head, the ball enter
ing the back just under the shoulder
blade, passing through the lungs and
lodging in the breast. Will Curry
shot Jack Davis, making a slight
wound on the side. All parties en
gaged in the melee were colored.
Both the wounded parties were doing
well at last accounts. This is another
evidence of the great importance of
suppressing the habit of carryingcon
eealed weapons.

Forsyth's Need.
Whenever and wherever a squad of
Forsyth’s citizens are assembled on
our streets, if the subject of Forsyth’s
interest and prosperity be broached,
among other things will he heard the
assertion “we need a good and com
modious hotel,” and from this sug
gestion is seldom heard a dissent.
Now, the simple proclamation and
individual discussion of our needs
will not supply them. It requires
more than wind work to build a hotel
or to establish any other enterprise.
It will doubtless not be denied by
any one who has given the subject
proper thought and consideration,
that a well constructed, well equip
ped, commodious and well kept hotel
near our business center will not
only add much to the attractions of
our city, but will enhance the money
values of property in the city.
The demand from families from
other sections of country for suitable
accommodations for summer and
winter sojourns of two and three
months among us is greater than
many are aware; and with a hotel
here adequate to meet this demand,
it would continue to increase. The
very first week of the opening Jof his
house for transient boarders by our
fellow townsman, Mr. J. G. Ellison,
evidences the demand on this line.
If this demand is upon us, and all
admit it to be true, the question
arises are we capable of meeting it?
And if we are, shall we do so? Or
shall we remain apparently insensi
ble, and perfectly indifferent to it.
If so, then we can but expect to see
the numerous seeker-! of health re
sorts for both winter and summer,
with their patronage and trade give
us the go-by on their way toother
points. We throw out these sugges
tions for the consideration of every
property owner in Forsyth, as all
of them are interested in this ques
tion.

Loots Out for tlie Tax Receiver.
Next Monday Mr. N. A. Sapping
ton will begin his rounds through the
county for the purpose of receiv
ing tax returns. And before making
their returns it is important that ev
ery tax-payer should seek informa
tion relative to the general tax act as
amended by the legislature at its last
session. Hitherto, either through
inadvertence or indifference upon
the part of tax-payers, many errors
have crept into the tax digest, which
cause much trouble to those whose
duty it is to look after the taxes of
the county.
The object of the present general
tax act is to obviate these errors, and
to obtain correct returns of the taxa
ble property. And if the law be ob
served by the people and executed by
the receiver, these errors will be ob
viated.
This law contemplates that each
tax-payer shall return his taxable
property himself, and provides that
it shall be done on blanks and under
oaths subscribed to, either before the
receiver of tax returns or some officer
authorized to administer oaths.
It provides that these blanks shall
be furnished to the tax-payers by the
receiver, the blanks properly fitted
and the oath attached subscribed to
by the tax-payer and then returned
to the receiver, from which blanks
thus filled the receiver makes his en
tries upon the digest. Therefore it
behooves each and every tax-payer
in the county to meet the receiver
and procure from him the blanks in
order to make their tax returns as
the law contemplates. Under our
construction of the tax law, no other
mode of returning the taxable prop
erty will meet its requirements.
Hence, as we said in the beginning,
so we-say in closing, “look out for the
receiver of tax-returns.

Old Jlonroe Among the Be*t.
At the recent annual commence
ment of the Atlanta medical college,
were forty-five graduates. Among
this number our county was repre
sented in the person of Dr. Smith M.
Rumble, a young man of promise,
whom the writer has known from his
early boyhood. Dr. Rumble’s ability
is evidenced by the high stand he at
tained in so large a class of competi
tors. Three gold medals had been of
fered, as prizes, by the faculty to the
three students, who, at the examina
tion for their degree, had attained
the highest general proeiency in
their studies, of which the third was
awarded to Dr. Rumble. We love to
chronicle the laudable efforts of Mon
roe county boys in whatever channel
made. And we congratulate Dr.
Rumble upon his achievement, hop
ing for him much success in the med
ical field.”
II urglariziilK*
Quite a number of robberies and
burglaries have been reported in our
Georgia papers recently, all of which
when taken connectedly, point to
tiie fact that there must he an organ
ized gang ot robbers operating in the
state. Their tracks prove that they
are skilled adepts in tlie art of bur
glary. Where they have been, safes
which are proof against lire, have
proven not to be proof against adept
burglars.
Sunny Side, Griffin, Brushy, Ma
con and Albany have been visifed by
this class within the last two weeks.
These thieves are equipped with im
plements suitable for boring through
the doors of iron safes, and they are
so conversant with the structure of
safe locks as to know just where to
bore through in order to work the
combination. Their raid on the post
office safe at Albany, Ga., on the
22nd inst., placed in their hands sev
eral thousand dollars, besides other
valuables.
These continued burglaries in va
rious sections should wake up the
people to the fact that these robbers
are in the land, and that they should
be constantly on the look out for
them. Every means possible should
be resorted to, for feriting out such
brigands, and ridding the country ot
t lem.

CITIZEN’S MEETING.
A number of citizens from different
sections of the county met in the
courthouse last Saturday for the pur
pose of taking steps towards the or
ganization of “Farmer’s Clubs’-’ in
this county. The following are the
proceedings of said meeting, to which
we invite the special attention of ev*
ery Monroe county reader, and of
which we will doubtless have more to
say hereafter.
Forsyth, Ga.
March 2(1, 1887.
At a mass meeting of the people of
Monroe county, this day held in the
courthouse, the following resolutions
offered by E. B. Taylor were adopted.
Resolved Ist, That the citizens be
urged to organize farmer’s clubs in
as many sections of the county as
they deem proper.
Resolved 2nd, That as soon as three
clubs shall have been formed, dele
gates be appointed by each club to
organize at Forsyth an association to
be known as the Monroe County Ag
ricultural Society.
Resolved Brd, That the society
meet at Forsyth once every three
months, and exercise such rights and
powers as may be, from time to time,
delegated to it by the clubs in con
vention assembled, and be governed
by such rules and regulations as the
society may itself enact.
Resolved 4th, That three clubs, in
actual attendance, even if one or
more have but one representative,
shall constitute a quorum, and in all
voting, each club shall be entitled to
the same number of ballots, regard
less of numerical strength.
On motion, the chairman of this
meeting was directed to call a meet
ing of the delegates of the several
clubs so soon as he is notified that as
many as three have been organized.
These proceedings were ordered
published in the Monroe Advertiser,
and the meeting adjourned.
R. C. McGough,
Chairman.

Forsyth, Ga.
March 28, 1887.
The citizens of Forsyth and vicinity
met this day in the courthouse for
the purpose of organizing a “farmers
club.”
R. C. McGough was elected chair
man, and O. H. B. Bloodworth secre
tary of the meeting.
A number of names were enrolled
as members of the club, and the club
then adjourned to meet in the court
house on Saturday, April 9th, to per
fect its organization.

is agent for these machines, and he
knows how to make a “ten strike.”
The machine will be tested on the
spot at our next meeting, April 2nd,
and the club will then take formal
action. Yours,

We head the list with our
Grain Fertilizer, '
a guano specially adapted to corn. If
the farmers could be induced to use
more Guano on their grain crops they
would find that it pays better than
on cotton, and we will make the as
sertion that it will increase the yield
50 per cent. Our Mr. D. .1. Proctor
used it last year upon corn, 100 lbs.
to the acre, and offered a premium to
any man in the county who could
show a better piece of corn than his.
He used tlie Grain Fertilizer, and his
corn was “the talk” of all who had
seen it. No one accepted his chal
lenge. The following gentlemen saw r
the corn and will testify to the merits
of the Grain Fertilizer: W. C. Battle,
E. R. Roberts, W. F. Gibson, Arch.
Tingle, of the 4th district, Pitt and
Coon Callaway, R. C. McGough, W.
A. Allen, T. R. Talmadge, and a great
many others. The Grain Fertilizer
is manufactured by the GEORGIA
CHEM ICA L WORKS, the same firm
who makes the
AC4D,
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 w r atch the results..
Mr. I). .1. 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,
hut 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
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.

“ BLACK SAM.”
The celebrated jack, “Black Sam,”
belonging to J. G. Smith, of Barnes
ville, will stand at my stable ono
half ot the time during the season,
commencing from March 9th, then
remaining for nine days, and then
he will be absent nine days.
“ Black Sam” is a thoroughbred,
fifteen hands high, and the finest
jack now in Monroe county. Parties
interested are invited to call at my
stable and see him. The rates are
reduced so that the poorest man can
avail himself of the opportunity to
raise tine colts. The prices are:
§5.00 ; Sio.oo for the season ; §15.00
for a guarantee.
“ HAMILTONIAN KNOX.”
My thoroughbred stallion, “ Ham
iltonian Knox,” will also stand at
my stable for the coming season. I
have recently purchased him from
Mr. I. C. Plant, President of First
National Bank of Macon, Ga. Ho
was bred by John H. May, of Au
gusta, Maine. Jle was sired by
Membrino Knox: he by Whalebone
Knox, he by General Knox, he by
Vermont Hero, he by Sherman
Black Hawk. The dam of “ Ham
iltonian Knox” was by Rvsdvk’s
Hamiltonian, the sire of Dexter,
2:17. and thirty-eight other 2:30
horses.
You will see from this pedigree
that ne is a thoroughbred ; is a beau
tiful horse, kiyd and gentle, and is
noted for his beauty and speed. He
will stand at my stable this season
at the following rates: §12.50 for
the season ;. §20.00 for a guarantee.
“ FRENCH,”
the beautiful Norman horse of Mr.
J. G. Smith, will also be at my stable
one-half of the time. He is the same
horse that ivas here last season. He
is a beautiful dapple gray, and his
colts are noted for being large and
fine, and for horses of all work are
the best that can be produced. The
former rates are now reduced to
SIO.OO for the season, and §15.00 for
a guarantee.
I invite all interested in stock
raising to call and see me.
D. J. Proctor.
