LIFE IN THE OLD LAND.
A l logansvilie, (la., special to the
Atlanta Constitution of the 10th,
says:
“Never before have our farmers
shown such determination at success
as now. It seems that anew spirit
has entered into the horney-handed
tiller ol the soil. On every hand it
is plainly demonstrated that they
both see and feel the great impor
tance of practical and scientific sys
tems, and express themselves as de
termined teat tain that portion among
the world that their calling Ls en
titled to occupy, to wit : not only
self-sustaining, but, in addition, re
munerative.
Sueli an effort- was never before
made as bus now been commenced
by our fanners in the practice of
economy and close attention to busi
ness. To find one of our fanners
now you must not only go to his
bouse but to bis field, where he will
be found dispensing with one or
more by the regular work he himself
is performing. Unless duty compels
him to go to town he will not be
ibuml there, and there he remains
no longer than his business actually
demands. Then, where heretofore
he lias spent dollars, he now spends
cents. \V here he used one hundred
pounds of meat, he makes fill}”
answer, and in the same ratio in
every other particular. In fact, you
may expect to both hear ot and see
the farmers of Troup county in a
most thrifty condition next fall.
Necessity, Tis said, is the mother of
all invention, while, in this case, it
will claim its share ot credit, it being
brought about hv the introduction
of the order known as the Farmers’
Alliance during last year, when most
of our farmers joined, and. too, with
out the least idea of injuring the
merchant or banker, for such never
entered their mind ; when, to the
suaprise of every one, it was found
that the merchants and bankers
strongly opposed such action upon
the pan of the farmers, and in a
great many eases not only the mer
chant refused to furnish the farmers
supplies, hut. at the banks, where
they had been heretofore borrowing
what money they wanted, tin’s spring
have been refused. Therefore, not a
few of them are thrown upon their
own resources, and never were there
a more determined set to livebereafler
within themselves. Whether the
alliance is destined to benefit us any
further, thus far its blessings have
commenced which will be of lasting
benefit to many. It the coming
season is favorable less corn and
meat will be bought next winter
for supplying the farmers than any
year since the war. I will diligent
ly watch future developments and
confident that ihe course adopted
will enable me to give you at inter
v;d> increasing encouragements as
to the accomplishments of our tann
ing interest.’’
1 he above contains the ring of the
true metal, and we commend the
sentiment continued in it to the
fanners of Monroe. And if our
Monroe people will a iopt that senti
ment and act on it, the day is not
distant when land loan agencies,
land aid stock mortagages, crop
liens, and all their attendant para
phernalia will be driven from the
county, ami smiles and comforts
based upon plentiful surroundings
wid tiii our homes. The suggestion
in this special sounds out. in clear
and wringing tones, the key note to
success in this country, and opens
up to full view the channel where
in oar people must walk, if thov
would cause the banner ot prosperity
to waive triumphantly over our land.
Economy, work and close attention
to business, are the weapons, when
rightly bundled, that will win suc
cess.

LEAP YEAR IN FORSYTH.
CILTIRE AND BE D TY FILLED
I’VE’S OPLHA HOt SL.
A Brilliant Social Occasion—Ah
Evening Long to Be Heiuejn
bered—An Elegant and
Sumptuous ilepust.
There are in the lives of communi
ties, as well as of individuals, cropping
out, now and then, occasions that con
stitute oases in memory’s train to
which the participants oft, in suc
ceeding years, recur as times of special
pleasure. Such was the leap year
party at Pye’s Opera Hall on Thurs
day evening. Leap year rules were
■ strictly observed in every particular
by all who were so fortunate as to
have a part in the occasion. Custom
and established usage all along
through the ages past give to man a
field from which to choose his life
partner as broad as the beauty and
charms of woman extend, yet when
manipulating his matrimonial inten
tions, when on the errand of wooing,
he is restricted to “one.”
But the privilege of woman on this
line, coveriugonly one-fourth the time
allotted to man, she is not limited in
her selections to this restricted “one
ness.”
Hence on Thursday evening, in
nersuance of a programme previously
mapped out in feminine council, each
of our young ladies, in the exercise
of their leap year prerogative and
privilege, procured turn outs,; and
knowing their power to woo amiabil
ity for love conquests, threw out their
lasso of right and haltered two young
men and took them to the party.
While man is naturally tinctured
with a dominating, if not domineering,
spirit, yet when marriagable woman
raises the leap year banner and de
mands her rights thereunder, he can
but succumb. Tiui3 it was on this
occasion.
About eight and a half p. m. the
young gentlemen began to arrive at
the Kali conducted by their lovely
escorts whose suavity of manners in
the escort field evidenced the fact that
they knew their leap year rights and
dared maintain them. By 9 o’clock
the ‘‘trios” had ail arrived, and were
conducted to their respective cloak
rooms by the reception committee of
ladies who performed their part of the
programme to perfection. After doff
ing their cloaks, each young lady
armed her selected “two” and march
ed out upon cupid’s ground well
equipped for the pending fight.
At this juncture the rules of the
evening were read. Then began in
earnest, upon that chosen field, love’s
leap year battles. Nor had the fight
progressed long before occasional
1 'side interviews” with the“Ordi nary”
might have been J^*oiist rued as evi
dence, “under the rules,” that victo
ries were being won.
A goodly number of fathers and
mothers were present also who enter
ed heartily into the pleasures of the
evening.
After social cofhmiogling,and gen
eral enjoyment until 10 o’clock sup
per was announced, when all persons
present repaired to the tables whereon
was a most elegant spread of substan
tial sand delicacies, which bore evi
dence of having been handled in the
best style of the culinary art. While
taking a survey of those tables we
were impressed with the thought that
while our noble and good women had
not been blessed with training in
schools of technology, yet they had
learned well their lessons in the art
of cooking in the more thorough
school of experience. For there are
certainly none to be found who, on
short notice, can got up a better,
fuller, and more complete table spread
than the good women of Forsyth.
The good dishes, excellent cakes,
dainties, &e., were too profuse to give
itemized space In this sketch. The
supper as well as the pleasure features
of the evening were enjoyed by all.
Indeed we confess never to have
witnessed or participated in a party
in Forsyth when everything passed
off more harmoniously and pleasantly,
and where there seemed to be more
real pleasure and enjoyment.
All the young ladies were hand
somely dressed, and this feature added
to their natural beauty and attrac
tiveness made them a power for con
quest upon Cupid’s field; and ifthere
were not a number of surrenders upon
the part of the young Romeos, it must
have been because the leap year priv
ilege was not pushed to its limit. The
young ladies were certainly entitled
to a unanimous verdict of success in
their management of the party. About
twelve o’clock the party adjourned
sine die, and all returned to their
homes to dream over the pleasures
of the evening.
The trios of young people made their
appearance at the Hall as follows:
Miss Johnnie Thweat with Messrs.
Sharp and Anderson, Miss Leola
Thomas with Messrs. Turk and Staf
ford, Miss Ida Thomas with Messrs.
McGinty and King, Miss Eila Thom
as with Messrs. Bailey and Dunn,
Miss Mamie Pye with Messrs. G. B.

Death. /Mi
Thursday about noon at her home
in this county, Mrs. Sarah Hollis,
relict of the late J. M. Hollis’ departed
this life after a few days illness. The
deceased, whom the writer lias known
from his early boyhood, was a good
woman, a true wife, an affectionate
mother. She was about fifty-five
years of age, and had reared a large
family of children, who together with
numerous relatives, and many friends
mourn her death. She had lived to
give ail her children that motherly
training which will prove a life-bless
ing to them. Her life record gives
insurance that in dying she has but
left a life of toil to enter upon eternal
rest. May her numerous children
follow her Christian example, and
meet her again in the bright beyond.
We extend to those bereaved our
warmest sympathies.
At Home.
Rev. .T. M. Tumlin, pastor of the
Methodist church in this city, and
family, arrived here on the south
bound train from Atlanta about oU
p. m. Friday evening. They were
met at the depot by a delegation from
the church and escorted to the par
sonage where a warm welcome was
extended them. The goad women
of the Parsonage Aid Society had
nicely arranged everything in the
preacher’s home—had warm fires
brightly burning, had well supplied
the larder, and had deftly arranged a
tempting spread of eatables upon the
supper table. Indeed everything had
been carefully looked after that tends
to the comfort of the inmates of that
home. So the pastor and family,
being thus relieved of the wearisome
features of moving, had simply to
enter, take possession of their home
and enter at once upon the regular
routine of house-keeping. And in be
half of our people we extend to them
a most hearty welcome among us.
Strayed or Harrowed.
Some time since, a copy of Web
ster’s Unabridged Dictionary disap
peared from the table in our office.
Whether it strayed off or was bor
rowed without our knowledge, mat
ters not. The result is the same—it
has not returned, nor been returned to
its accustomed place on our table. It
has our name written upon it in dif
ferent places. Inquiry by us has
failed to develoye the where
abouts of the aforesaid diction
ary. It has been one of our
companions from our youth, and we
miss its companionship. If it has
strayed away, we extend to it, in this
public manner, a cordial invitation
to return to its home, promising not
to abuse it for its long absence, but to
treat it kindly as we have endeavored
to do in days a,gone. If, however, it
has died in its stray ramblings, will
someone report its death, that we
may be in a position to write its fu
neral notice? We will wait and see.
And if it has been borrowed, and the
borrower will return it, we will ac
cept our own “without” usury.
Butter, Eggs usai Feas.
I want to buy all of the good butter,
eggs and speakle peas brought to this
market. Highest market prices paid.

Narrow Escape From Fire.
Friday morning the alarm of fire
was given on our streets, when smoke
was seen issuing from the dwelling of
Mr. Banks Alexander. An investiga
tion discovered the fact that by some
means fire had been communicated'
from the parlor stove to a small box
containing chips which was placed a
short distance from the stove. For
tunately the tire was discovered in
time to suppress it with a little water,
before any serious damage wms done.
While fire is an absolute necessity,
yet it is a dangerous element and can
not be handled with too great care.
Notwithstanding, our town has
been free from destructive fires for a
long time, yet it is always in order
and opportune for cities to supply
themselves with water facilities and
with means for extinguishing fire as
a protection against the same. We
have before insisted, and we think
clearly demonstrated,that by clothing
herself with ample fire protection,
Forsyth would save enough in insur
ance percentage in a few years to pay
for the same. When will our citizens
move in this matter a3 a prudent step
in advancing their own interests?

Mr. Editor: —Although you are
well acquainted with the news of our
vicinity, I am aware that there are
many readers of your good paper, who
would be interested in tne Goggans
ville news.
The old year with its joys and sor
rows has passed and gone and the
new year has begun, and everybody
has set in with renewed energy for
another cron.
Prof. John 11. Mott as principal,
and Miss Juliette Taylor as assistant,
have taken charge of Fleming High
School for this year. This is one of the
very best country schools to be found,
and parents wishing to educate their
children in the country will find this
to be an excellent place.
Miss Alma Brantlv and her little
sister, Pearl, who have been visiting
relatives here have, returned to their
home in Meridian, Miss. Their friends
will be sorry to learn of their depart
ure, for they are loved by all who
know them.
Messrs. Gardner and Johnston are
doing a lively business saw milling.
They are thorough going, clever
gentlemen and deserve the patronage
of the public.
We are expecting to have a little
sensation in the shape of a wedding
very soon, but as I promised not to
say anything about it, I will not
“give it away.” Y'our correspondent
has been invited.
Mr. James G. Goins had his knee
sprained a few days ago and hasn’t
been able to be out much, but we art
glad to say is improving and will
soon be out again.
Mr. Will Thrash, of Bollingbroke,
was in our little viilege Sunday on a
“business” engagement.
The new church at Johnsonvilie is
being completed for the quarterly
conference to be held there on Satur
day before the third Sunday. Jay.
Glad to hear from our little friend,
Jay. Hope he will write again.—Ed.

Whereas our brother, J. W. Banks,
has seen fit for cogent reasons to ten
der his resignation as Supereutendent
of tliis Sabbath School, and to sever
his connection with us.
And whereas in severing this con
nection he goes to another and dis
tant field of labor.
And whereas it is but right and
proper that as a school we give ex
pression to ou r feeling ami sen t i merit in
thus severing with him the ties that
have hitherto bound us. Therefore
Resolved Iso. —That in accepting
the resignation of brother Banks, as
Superintendent of this School, we do
so with reluctance and with feelings
of regret.
Resolved 2nd. —That in accepting
his resignation the school loses an
active, zealous and faithful Superin
tendent, and an earnest Christian
worker in this religious field.
Resolved 3rd.—That during his three
years administration, the utmost
harmony and cordiality has existed
between the Superintendent and the

GEORGIAS HARVtSr.
The supplemental report of tho
Department ol’ Agriculture, issued
in the early part of last month, gives
some interesting facts with reference
to the crops of Georgia in 1887.
The total yield in cotton was about
live per cent, above that of the pre
vious year; the total yield of corn,
thirteen ; the total yield of oats, five ;
and, notwithstanding a decrease in
acreage, the wheat crop of the state
went up to 2,250,900 bushel;-.
The vivid of sugar cane, sorghum,
rice, sweet potatoes, field peas, pea
nuts and tobacco, nil gave indica
tions more or less favorable; and,
taken as a whole the harvest of 1887
is encouraging.
While agriculture was, to some
extent, checked by droughts last
year, the loss thus sustained, was
compensated by improved means of
production.
The report shows further that
farmers tire less in debt than they
were, are using more economy than
heretofore, are diversifying their
crops and in many ways adopting
measures of retrenchment and re
form.
It is a lamentable fact, however,
that stock raiding does not receive
the attention it deserves.
True, public interest is enlisted
upon the subject and every planter
bewails the misfortune of having his
smoko houses a thousand miles from
his door and being forced to givo
a crop mortgage with ruinous prices
for all the meat that goes on tho
table. But he too often weighs tho
probabilities of cholera among his
hogs, against the heavy charges, in
evitable to the credit system, and
decides to buy rather than raise.
This trouble exists to some extent,
but there is certainly a growing
sentiment among tho farmers in
favor of stock raising.
They aie learning how to pre
vent and cure diseases rather than
refrain from purchasing lest those
diseases might be contracted, they
are learning that pine masts, acrons,
berries, hickory nuts and all tho
otherwise unvailablp refuse of tho
garden, the orchard and tho farm
can be best utilized by stock raising.
More than this, they - are learning
to cultivate other produce of easy
and inexpensive growth that greatly
supplements the supply heretofore
taken from the crib.
These facts show that the farm is
growing into a self-sustaining in
dustry, and when that is accom
plished our commercial indepen
dence as a section will be achieved.
The meat merchant will still bo
here, but bo will then be a Joseph
who garners the supplies of his own
Egypt to benefit the famine-stricken
communities of his own people.
The success of agriculture and its
collaterals is now but a question of
time, and with that success we com
plete the circles of our successes.—
Ex.
A Frierm in Need.
Some time ago 1 gave one dollar
to a poor friend of mine, who was
down in bed, not expected to live.
Consumption, that dread disease, had
gained a hold on him, which would
relax only when death claimed him.
I bade him good-bye, hardly expect
ing to see him alive again, but to my
surprise, the next time I saw him,
be was much better, and be told me
that lie bad invested the dollar I
gave him in a bottle of brewer’s
Lung Restorer, anti it had improved
him so much, that he thought if ho
could only take it for a few weeks it
would cure him. I bought him.
several bottles, which be is now on,
and it has improved him so much
that he is able to walk a mile or
two, something which ho has not
done before in a year, and I am con
fident Brewer’s Lung Restorer will
cure him entirely.
