was entered and the contents of their

S7OO iu currency and two gold watches;

have been opened by an expert as
there was no evidence that force was
used to open it. Four hundred dol

A number of the Quit-mans turned
out from their winter quarters Friday
evening, and entered upon the spring
and summer drill campaign. Their
maneuvering showed that, during the
winter months, they had not slept
away their knowledge of military
evolutions of the company. The ad
herence of this company to their
militia duties render them worthy of
more aid and encouragement at the
hands of our county people than they
receive. Their number ought not to
be less than eighty rank and file, and if
the benefit of their presence in the
county was fullyand duly appreciated,
we incline to the opinion that their
number would soon reach those
figures. They not only need, but de
serve aid sufficient to build for them
a good armory.
Church Services.
Rev. J. R. Parker, the pastor, filled
the Methodist pulpit Sunday morn
ing and night. The sermon in the
morning was full of thought, furnish
ing food for reflection to professors
of religion especially. The sermon
at night, founded on the character of
Joseph, was indeed soul-stirring, and
we trust, will result in much good
generally, and especially to the young
men, to whom strong appeals were
made.
These were the beginningof a series
of religious services which will be
protracted through this week, and we
are glad to note the attendance of the
people from the country upon these
services. There will he religious ser
vices each day at 8 a. m. and 7\> p. m.
Let the people generally attend.
Rev. IT. IT. Parks, Presiding Eider,
preached for us last night and will be
present during the week.

hearers an elegant and forcible ser

Itunaivaf Frolic.
Saturday morning Mr. R. P. Brooks’
horse, hooked to the buggy, was
hitched to a post in front of Mrs.
Thweatt’s residence; and becoming
frightened from some cause, broke
the halter and ran with the buggy to
wards the public square. Just before
reaching the square be ran upon a
side walk and knocked down three
shade tree? recently set, injuring but
slightly, the buggy, which was put
up by AY H. Ashworth of the spendid
buggy material he uses. This runaway
frighted Dave Hart’s team hooked
to a wagon loaded with fodder on the
square, whereupon this team began
to run; but the driver, who was upon
the top of the fodder, so skillfully
managed this team while on the run
that they were halted before damage
was done. This run frightened the
team of Mr. Geo. Davis standing
hooked to the wagon, in front of the
store of Messrs. Zellner & Mayuad,
and this team ran off, but was halted
before damage had accrued. So we
had upon our streets a regular runa
way frolic, with considerable excite
ment. but no great deal of damage.
If these runaways on our streets are
to be continued, we suggest that

The two societies of Monroe Female
College gave an entertainment Fri
day night which was attended by a
good audience.
The opening duett by Prof. C. A.
and Mrs. Thompson was scientifically
rendered and evidenced the fact that
the performers are skilled musicians.
The recital of “Red Jacket” by Miss
Maud Hammond was very distinct,
showing that the pupils in our college
are favored with the best instruction.
The rendition of the song “Ah! if
Thou Couidst Know,” by Miss Mary
Hammond was one of those excellent
performances, the close of which was
noted by a round of applause.
“Seven times one” by Miss Allice
Bramblett displayed the swelling bud
hood of girl life. “Seven times two”
by Miss Lillian Watts led the audience
somwhat into the idea of the roman
tic. “Seven times three” by Mias
Lidia Anderson carried her hearers
to the thought of true love. “Seven
times four” by Miss Fannie Single
ton presented a spleclid picture of
maternity. “Seven times five” by
Miss Bessie Amos wrought up the
sympathies of the congregation for
the “bereaved widow.” “Seven times
six” by Miss Nellie Merritt well il
lustrated “given in marriage.” Seven
time seven” by Miss Julia Redding
pictured an aged and lonely female
mariner far out upon the voyage of
life, drifting amid the billows of life’s
stormy sea “longing for home.” The
piano solo by Miss Rosa Smith was
well rendered and stirred up the ad
miration of lovers of music. The
“Green Mount!an Justice” was well
recited by Miss Carrie VYaterman and
showed a good conception of the
piece. The tableau “Dream in Mar
ble Halls” was very good.
The “Tragic Cantata” “Grass Hop
per on the Sweet Potato Vine” was
most aptly rendered by a number of
young ladies. This was indeed the
striking piece of the-'4yfening, apd the
beautifu l “grass hoppers’km that vine,
peeping out upon the audience looked
so lovely.
Next and last appeared Col. B. S.
Willingham, who well entertained
the large audience for a short time in
a brief address on the subject of
“Truth,” in which he forcibly re
minded the young ladies of the socie
ties of their power, and their ability
to lead the erring sons of earth to the
inexhaustible fountain of truth.
Mr. J. H. Dumas very politely and
efficiently discharged the function
assigned him as master of ceremonies.
Wo congratulate the young ladies
of the W. F. K. and Zeta societies on
being such adepts in getting up a pub
lic entertainment so replete with in
terest. For the entertainment was
indeed one of those most pleasant oc
casions with which we are oecasion
lly privileged at Monroe Female Col
lege.

SPOT CASH STORE.
Thursday afternoon we dropped in
at the above store, and while there
took ait eye-glance inventory of the
comprehensive and attractive stock of
DRY GOODS
now offered to the people of Monroe
and adjoining counties by Capt. J. M.
Ponder. And having, in days agone,
been a worker in this line of business,
we viewed with pleasure the beautiful
goods that line the shelves of this neat
and eiegant store, and the attractive
manner in which these goods are dis
played. We found every department
complete and filled with goods that
give evidence of taste in the selection.
His great variety of
DRESS GOODS
with beautiful trimmings to match
were evidently bought with a view to
the taste of his numerous lady cus
tomers. For out of them even the
most fastideous could certainly make
satisfactory selections. His
WHITE GOODS
department embraces the latest and
most beautiful designs. Among his
extensive stock of
NOTIONS
are the latest novelties and every
thing to be found in that line. In
looking in upon the
T RIJIMIN a DU PARTSf E N TANARUS,
the beauty and attractiveness of the
trimmings were specially noticeable.
Passing to the
HAT DEPARTMENT
we concluded that from his stock of
hats the Captain could suit the wool
hat boy, the town dude and all classes
between them. In the
CLOTHING
department we found that clothing
from common to fine and of the latest
styles lined his counters. Owing to
his mammoth stock of
SHOES,
the shoe department presents the ap
pearance of a regular shoe house
rather than a department in a dry
goods stock. Here certainly all classes
of shoe-wearers can be suited. His
ladies’, misses’ and children’s slices
are specially attractive in style and
make up.
The prints, ginghams, domestic and
heavy goods departments all have
their share of this attractive stock.
But the wonder to us was the ex
ceedingly low prices marked upon all
these goods. The wonder, however,
was at once dispeled, when we re
membered that we were in the spot
! cash store of Capt. J. M. Ponder, where
J goods are sold strictly for cash, and
where for this reason bargains for the
cash are to be had.

A Good Work.
A visit to our cemetery Thursday
morning revealed to us what a great
change was being brought about in
the appearance of that home of our
dead. We found there at work ten or
twelve hands who, under the direc
tion and supervision of Mayor Banks,
Marshal Harris and Chairman Green
wood of the street committee from the
City Council, had removed the pall of
neglect which has for a long time
rested upon that sacred spot. Indeed
so great was the change that the
grounds did not really appear to be
the same grounds. The raking, burn
ing, sweeping and general cleansing
that was being and had been done,
had wrought a perfect transformation,
so that the cemetery now appears as
if it was in the hands of, and looked
after by, a refined people who have
respect for their dead. This is as it
should be, and we congratulate the
gentlemen in charge of this transform
ing process for the efficient manner
in which the work lias been done.
For the rabbits and foxes cannot now
find such safe hiding places within
i that sacred enclosure.
But the work which has been done by
| the city authorities is not all the work
that is needed to be done in and about
the cemetery to make the same com
plete. On the contrary this work
brings more clearly to light needed
work on a number of private lot3
therein. This work needs not to be
pointed out ars an inspection and com
parison will reveal it to their owners.
The conformation of the grounds is
j such as to necessitate drainage if in
jury by an accumulation of water
would be prevented. And, now that
these grounds have been put in such
nice order, if the exchequer be not
exhausted a slight expenditure of
j money in this direction would not
detract therefrom.
But, alas! the largest burial lot
within that enclosure of the dead still
remains incomplete; and will so re
main until there be erected thereon
an ever enduring monument of gran
ite to the memory of the Confederate
dead. The movement having been
inaugurated to make our cemetery at
least a decent home of the dead, on
this line let Forsyth take no steps
backward.
MACON. MGRDT.E AAR Mil U-

Its Importance to West Ribb anti
Southern Monroe.
We propose to note specially its
benefits to the western part of Bibb
county and southern Monroe. This
is a section of line farming coun
try, and the lands are well adapted
to the raising of all kinds of crops, or
produce, stock, fruits, vegetables,
&e., that can be raised in any climate
of equal temperature. It is also a
very healthy section of country and
well watered. Its citizenship will
compare favorably with any section
in intelligence, morals, industry and
enterprise. The line of survey for
this road crosses the Tobesofkee
creek about two miles from the Mon
roe county line, in Bibb, between
two splendid shoals, which are about
a half-mile apart, and thirteen miles
from Macon. The water here if
properly utilized, would equal, if not
exceed, five hundred horse power.
Now if the manufacture of cotton
goods and other industries was estab
lished at this point, it would give em
ployment to thousands of men and
women, and would also create new life
in the farming interest for miles
around, creating a market right at
home for articles of food, &c.
Four miles from this creek and
shoals are the famous, historic and
classic grounds of Montpelier Springs,
with its health giving waters. The
railroad survey passes nearly through
these grounds, which are cover
ed with natural forests of grand
and magnificent oaks and other
growth, shrubbery, &c., which scen
ery and surroundings make the place
attractive.
If this road be built, we can see no
reason why some enterprising man
or men with capital, could not erect a
large and commodious hotel and
other buildings upon these beautiful
grounds and make the same profita
ble. Some forty or fifty years ago
these grounds and springs were fa
mous, and a very popular resort Un
people seeking health and pleasure.
At that time the hotel accommod -
tions were inadequate to meet the de
mands of visitors, and a great many
people who had families, prepared
themselves with suitable tents, and
reparing thither, spread their tents
and remained there for weeks at a
time. With good and sufficient hotel
accommodations, with railroad facili
ties, its proximity to the city of Ma
con, and this new road giving it ac
cessibility to other cities and sections,
this would certainly again be a very
popular resort for seekers of pleasure
and health. It would bo quite a con
venient, and doubtless a popular re
sort for the business men of Macon,
whither they could run in one hours
ride, and spend a day or days in re
creation and rest from business.
The gathering of people to this
point would add much to the interest
of farmers in the vicinity. If the
road be buiit, and the above enter
prises be gore into by men competent
to conduct them, we can conceive of
no reason why such move should
not be crowned with success, and re
sult in a great good to our farming
population. These suggestions are
made that enterprising men of means
may be lead to consider them. How
ever it may be, and we hope it is true
that such men have already turned
their attention in this direction, and
are only waiting for further develop
ment of the contemplated railroad,
ft so, then run your steam horse
through on fast time; we await, with
some degree of impatience, tlie re
sults. Such results, we are satisfied,
will be good, if all the advantages
are utilized to this end.
The writer has no personal interest
in this matter further than the gener
al interest and prosperity of his sec
tion and the people at large. With the
establishment of the enterprises
above referred to, it does seem rea
sonable to conclude that prosperity
for this section would follow.

Club Proceedings.
Forsyth, Ga., April 9tli, 1887.
A number of our citizens met this
day in the courthouse for the purpose
of perfecting, the organization of a
“farmers club,” R. C. McGough in
the chair. The minutes of the pre
ceeding meeting were read and adop
ted.
The meeting then proceeded to the
election of permanent officers, with
the following results.
President, G. W. Adams; First
Vice President, J. T. Crowder; Sec
ond Vice President, J. H. Sutton;
Secretary, O. H. B. Bloodworth.
On motion of Caot. L. A. Ponder,
the club was named the “Monroe
County Central Agricultural Club.”
A committee consisting of Capt. L.
A. Ponder, Col. J. T. Crowder, Maj.
J. F. Childs, Mayor J. It. Banks, C. N.
Tylee, Esq., and Hon. G. W. Adams,

We head the list with our n
.Grain Fertilizer,"
a guano specially adapted to corn. If
the farmers coukl lie 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. I). J. 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 the Grain Fertilizer, and his
corn was “the talk” of all who had
seen it. No one accepted his chal
lenge. The following gentlemen saw
the corn and will testify to the merits
of the Grain Fertilizer: W. C. Battle,
E. It. Roberts, W. F. Gibson, Arch.
Tingle, of the 4tii 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 ICAIj 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 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
