Tlie State Fair.
The Georgia Fair now promises to
be the grand climaxing feat of 1887
in the south. The list of entries which
is already superlatively large increas
es daily. A lively and deep interest
in showing to the world the mighty
resources of Georgia is taking hold
upon tlie people throughout the state.
Judging from present pointers there
will be at the fair not only the grar d
est and most magnificent exibit e\ s
seen in the south, but the largUft
gathering of people ever assembled in
Georgia.
The President, secretary and execu
tive committee of the state agricultu
ral society, coupled with the live,
active wide awake citizens of Macon,
are leaving no stone unturned, no
lick unstruck that tends to make the
State Fair a complete success and the
grandest and most interesting eyer
seen. It will be indeed a true show
ing of Georgia’s productive capacity,
and every true Georgian who loves
1 1 is state and desires her future devel
opement and prosperity should lend
his aid in this direction.
Every seperate department of the
fair promises to be really a show
within itself, and when the depart
ments are aggregated it will he one of
those extensive and interesting ex
hibits that the beholder will never
forget. Monroe county proposes
through some of her leading spirits to
take her place and rank in this grand
affair. People of Monroe are you
working for it? Are you pulling,
pushing, moving and stiring to make
your county’s exhibit what it should
be? what it can be? if you will but do
you r duty. Have you calculated, and
are you calculating what profit, what
advantage it will be to you and to
\ 7 our prosterity to have at the fair,
before the gaze of the hundred thous
and visitors, the best county exhibit
from the state ? Every man and every
woman in the county should from
personal, individual interest
they can for this object, and when
they have done what they can, every
one who can, should go to the fair and
see the result of their efforts, and
what their fellow Georgians have
done. Go and learn a lesson of Geor
gia’s resources that you can learn no
where else.
35ut the point we would particularly
stress is that our people in Monroe go
to work with vim at once, in this di
rection, that they interest themselves
and determine that their county ex
hibit shall excel. The time is short;
there only remain three weeks in
which to do the work needed to be
done. Every family can do some
thing. Let each family get up some
article or a number of aticles and be
ready to place them promptly at what
ever point of shipment may be desig
nated. There will be competent men
to take charge of, and place on exhi
bition at the fair whatever may be
contributed. Don’t forget that the
fair will open on the 24th of October.
If you pay the interest promptly,
I renew your loan when it falls due,
if you desire it.

Attorney at Law.
Kesoiutions of ISespcct.
We, the committee appointed to
draft resolutions on the death of our
much loved sister, Felicia E. Gibbs,
beg leave to submit the following
preamble and resolutions:
That, “Death, loves a shining mark”
was never better exemplified than in
the falling asleep of this sister
on September 3rd, 1887. In tfte bloom
of young womanhood she was called
by the Master, to come up higher.
In August 1880, she united herself
with the Missionary Baptist church
at Shiloh, and remained a consistent
member, till she was made a member
of the church triumphant. She was
also a member of our aid society since
its organization one year ago.
Asa daughter, sister and friend,
she was loving, gentle, true and kind.
She was faithful unto death, and
has entered into that rest that re
maineth for the people of God.
Resolved Ist, That our church and
society, has lost one of its brightest
jewels, but that we bow in submission
to the will of God, knowing that “He
doeth all things well.”
Resolved 2nd, That we extend our
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
mother and sisters, and pray that
grace divine may sustain and com
fort them in their trying affliction.
Resolved 3rd, That a page of our
record book be dedicated to her mem
ory, and these resolutions be written
thereon.
Resolved 4th, That a copy be sent
to the family, and one furnished the
Advertiser for publication.

Burglar* in Transit.
From information received it seems
that the parties who burglarized the
store of Mr. Pritchard at Brook sta
tion, just above Griftin, passed
through this county and spent last
1 uesday in concealment near Smarrs
Station. Humor states that a bun
dle of goods were seen early on Tues
day morning by colored laborers pass
ing on to their work in a pine thicket
near that point. At noon of the same
day near the same place a buggy was
seen by the same parties. Upon this
report investigation was made and
the buggy secured but not the goods,
and evidence discovered pointing the
fact that some person or persons had
been secreting themselves near
where the goods had been seen, and
the buggy discovered.
A number of envelopes were found
post marked at different offices, but
addressed to the same person, thus
evidencing to a suspicious extent at
least, that these burglars have their
aiders and abettors scattered abroad
as channels through which to obtain
imformation as to where the said
burglars may be able to make the best
paying raids.
About a year ago similar burglar
izing raids were made through Geor
gia, and but few of the thieves were
detected.
We mention these facts to put our
readers upon notice that this, the
money season in the south, is the
burglars pet season and set time to
organize for the purpose of thieving.
And we know of no better method
whereby the people can protect them
selves against, and probably appre
hend, these thieving vagabonds than
for each community in the county
to organize themselves into secret
patrol force and be on the constant
watch. If every law-abiding citizen
in each community will connecthim
self with such an organization and
do duty in secret and by reliefs, burg
lars would steer clear of our section
or be aprehended.
It is evident that something should
be done to protect not only our prop
erty, but the people against appre
hension on this line. Pastexperienco
teaches that doubtless the Piedmont
exposition and state fair will bring
into the heart of our state bands of
this thieving class, who when they
shall have completed their gleanings
at the exposition and fair, will scat
ter through the country to finish
up their fall campaign. Against
these the people should provide
protection, if possible and we
know of no better method to do so suc
cessfully than the one above sugges
ted.

Sunday’s Services.
Sunday morning Rev. W. J. Snive
ly, of Louisville, Kentucky,’preached
at the Methodist church from John
v 36. The theme of the discourse was
the divinity of Christ. The subject
was well and ably handled, the close
attention of the hearers being held
to the argument, for more than one
hour.
'Twas shown that the complete ful
fillment of prophesies made hundreds
of years before his advent fully attest
the divinity of Christ. Showing that
all false religions that had ever crept
into the world were attempted to be
bolstered up by, and had for their
basis some pretended miracle, the
preacher clearly demonstrated that
the miracles of Christ, themselves,
were unanswerable proof of his divine
origin. The sermon was indeed able
and instructive, throwing much light
upon the grand theme handled.
Rev. J. R. Parker, the pastor, filled
the pulpit at night, basing his sermon
on John xii 35. “Walk in the light
while ye have the light &e.,” in which
he gave his hearers some strong and
pointed exhortations on the exceeding
importance of promptly heeding the
admonition of the text.
Dr. Branham Hilled the Baptist
pulpit, morning and evening, giving
his hearers a good and impressive
sermon at each service.
Rev. Mr. Cowan, the pastor,
preached at the Presbyterian church
at 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. in.
Hilliard Institute.
The fall session of this school open
ed last week under the supervision
of Prof. W. J. Noyes, with upward of
thirty pupils, and with a prospect for
a good full school during the session.
The school is now well organized
under a regular curriculum and with
facilities e'pial to the best.
Boys and young men in search of
a school wherein they can secure first
class instruction can find the same in
Hilliard Institute. Nothing succeeds
like success and Prof. Noves assumes
control of this school under the en
dorsement of success wherever he lias
labored. Send your bovs to Hilliard
Institute if you wish them well tu
tored to moral disipline, properly
taught and well prepared for the du

The Mi nMreis.
Friday night the Forsyth min
strels gave an entertainment at
Pye’s Hall which was well attended.
The minstrels are selected from
among our nicest young men and
their entertainments afford pleasant
recreation. The programme on this
occasion consisted of music by the
Silver band, songs, conundrums,
plays Ac. In all of these each mem
ber performed his part very well.
Their special local hit brought forth
rounds of applause. Some of their
conundrums created considerable
laughter.
“The’Two Pompeys” was very well
played, and its close well enchored.
The “Musical Melee” chimed in
finely. In the concluding laughable
farce, the “Academy of Stars” Black
Jack knew and performed his duties
admirably well, while whiskey Jake
who seemed to have lost the art of
balancing upon his feet, was persis
tent in liis efforts to reverse nature
and to have everybody stand upon
their heads.
The entertainment being for the
benefit of the band, the result was
reasonbly fair, adding a snug little
sum to the Band’s exchequer.
