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. THE MONUOE ADVERTISER: FORSYTH, GA., TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1888—EIGHT PAGES. PERSONAL.

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. Thweatt and Turner, Miss Fannie Rudisill with Messrs. Berner and Driskell, Miss Julia Rudisill with Messrs. Faulk and Gibson, Miss Mary Hammond with Messrs. W. B. Thweatt and Merritt, Miss Bessie Amos with Messrs. Williamson and Jackson, Miss Lydia Anderson with Messrs. Brantly and Smith, Miss Lueile Roberts with Messrs. Ander son and Trammell, Miss Rosa Smith with Mr. Anderson, Miss Lillie Zeil ner with Messrs. Banks and Maynard, Miss May Cooper with Mr. Proctor, Miss Rosa RyaU with Messrs. Sharp and Robberts, Miss Laura Bacon with Messrs. Banks and J. H. Dumas. B:g bargains in Tinware at Blood worth A Brown’s. 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. 8. B. Head, Agt. 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? State of Ohio, City of Toledo) Lucas County, ss. ) Frank J.

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.
