After a protracted visit to other
joints Rev. and Mrs. L. Rush return
ed to their home at the parsonage in
Oulloden, and learned that during
tlieir absence they were not forgotten
lmt most kindly remembered. The
good people of Culloden had put their
itinerant’s home in good trim, sup
plying it with necessary comforts, and
had well tilled the larder of the same
with those necessary articles without
which every home would be destitute
of happiness and comfort.
This is brother Rushe’s third con
secutive year upon the Culloden
work, and no doubt it was indeed
energising to him to see such mani
festations of warm-hearted welcome
coming from those whom he had
served. We know the Culloden peo
ple, and know that they do not do
things half way.
On our first page to-day will be
found a striking and instructive illus

the various kinds of baking powders

To the Ladies of the Woman's Mis
sionary Society at Forsyth.
This quarter ending March the first,
closes our conference year. All who
have not paid their back dues may
expect a call from the Treasurer,
during the week. We desire to begin
the new year with a clear record
nothing charged.
When we gave our names as mem
bers of the Society, we promised to
pay ten cents a month, or one dollar
per year, to carry on the work of
saving souls; and will we not make
our promise good? Are we willing to
lose our credit with tiie Master, by not
paying the amount we have already
promised? In the courts of Heaven
can we bear to have our draft dis
honored? This is a serious matter,
one that we should consider well.
And then, how do we know the num
ber of souls we shut out from the
light? We are the means which
God uses to reach them, and will we
not prove true?
Meet the treasurer as you would a
servant of the Lord. And remember,
“Over against the treasury the Master
is sitting.” He sees the widow’s mite,
as well as the Pharisee’s thousands.
Let us fulfill our obligation.

to which tlie Doctor, ever obedient to
I duty’s demands and ever ready to aid
in any good cause, readily responded.
The talk was not only quite interest
ing, but was replete with information
such as the people generally need on
the subject talked about. It was
comprehensive in scope, as well as
searching in detail, and was calculat
ed to arouse a missionary spirit in the
heart of every listener in whose veins
flows any sympathy for the millions
of earth who have not the gospel
preached to them. We were glad to

In Forsythia located Monroe Fe
male College, one of the best school
buildings in Georgia. For nearly
forty years this school has been send
ing out her educated daughters into
various sections of the country to
elevate, refine and christianize the
people, and still this refining and
elevating stream continues to flow.
Well regulated, well graded, with ex
perienced and able teachers in her
departments, why may this school
not shine brighter in the future as an
educational center than she has in
her glorious past.
Likewise we have Hilliard Institute,
our male school, with a good building
splendidly arranged for educational
purposes, presided over by an expe
■ rieneed educator.
Dotted over its bosom, with just
sufficient sparcity to conduce to per
fect health, are her many beautiful,
attractive and pleasant homes, while
her facilities for religious develope
. rnent and training of the best.
! With such a variety of business
| carried on in our own town and with
j such a class of business men to deal
j with, why should any of our citizens
: go to other markets to trade? The
I advancement of our own interest de
j mauds that we patronize and sustain
home enterprise.
To support the business and busi
ness interest of Forsyth and the va
rious similar businesses done in Mon
roe, there are in the county one
thousand and thirty-five farms con
taining from 35 to 3609 acres. Whether
or not this is a disproportion, this
deponent sayeth not. How much of
the patronage from these farms is
carried to points outside of our county
we have no means of ascertaining.
Neither have we at command the
data showing what proportion of these
farms are uncultivated. .Suffice it to
say the business of Forsyth is sustain
ed, notwithstanding the crop.shortage
o! the past year, and the almost uni
versal complaint of dull times.
From the data at hand we find that
the farms in Monroe county average
about 275 acres. If this average was
diminished one-half it would make
the average very little, if any, too
small, and would double the number
of farms in the county. Would this j
diminution of individual farm area j
and doubling the number of farms
have a tendency to enhance the agri
cultural interest of the county and to
increase the business thereof? This
is a question worthy of consideration.

Thanhs,
o e arc in receipt of a nice memento
‘•f St. Valentine from Mr Joseph M
Brown, of the \V. & A. R. It., Atlanta]
Ga * 14 is :i well written description
of the battle of Kennesaw Mountain
fought June 27th, 1864. The most im
pressive incident mentioned in the
description is where the dry brush
and withered leaves among which
the Federal wounded were lving be
came ignited by fire from the guns.
Heemg these wounded Federate being
burned by the flames, and hearing
their cries of pain and calls for help
the Confederates at that point in the
lines, as by one general impulse
ceased their volleys, and called the
I'ederals to “come and move their
wounded,” and save them from burn
ing to death. The battle for the while,
at that point, seemingly was forgotten,'
and soldiers from both armies united
in rescuing the wounded Federals
from the devouring flames.
8o impressed were the Federals
with the magnanimty and this mani
festation of mercy upon the part of
the Confederates that a Federal offi
cer presented a Confederate officer
with a brace of fine pistols as a token
of his appreciation and high regard
for the nobility of the deed.
i his little historical incident,which
deserves perpetuation, is ouite inter
esting, being graphically portrayed
by Mr. Joseph M. Brown, to whom
our thanks are due and hereby re
turned.
