Will the people of Monroe take
slock in the next fa*r? Now is the
time to ask this question. For the
planting season js now at hand, and
it any or all of our farmers propose to
put agricultural products on exhibi¬
tion at tiie next state fair, now is the
opportune time to take steps in that
direction. Growing met of the efforts
ol a few enterprising citizens in the
county, the results to Monroe at the
last stale fair were grand, for her ex¬
hibit on that occasion was the best
advertisement to persons abroad she
lias ever had. Now if tiie efforts of a
few of her eitizc ns worked out a result
so grand, will not the combined ef
forts of all her people work out results
still more grand.
By waiting till the preperation and
planting season has passed, and the
time for tlie state fair draws nigh, we
J lose the opportunity to accomplish
the gioat good for our county that
it is possible to accomplish
through this channel. Speaking of
the next state fair an exehang says:
“The prospects for the state fair to

We have attended numerous enter¬
tainments in Forsyth that were quite
enjoyable, and this one, compared
with former ones, fell not a whit
behind.
The unanimous verdict of all pres¬
ent was that the entertainment was
not only pleasant,but pointed the fact
that there is culture and talent among
the young people of Forsyth. And
we know of no more pleasant methods
of recreation from the toils and labors
incident to our daily business, than
to encourage the development of this
talent by turning it into the channels
of pleasant . entertainments.
For indeed it is a recreation to
both body and mind to participate in
occasions so enjoyable as was the one
on Friday evening. And we hope the
young ladies of the Church Aid socie¬
ty will so arrange as that the future
shall give us the opportunity to do so
frequently.
The supplemental department of
the entertainment in the way of an
art gallery was that wherein was had
considerable fun and laughter, aud
those who failed to visit said gallery
missed something rare. The climax
to the entertainment was a free sup¬
per, comprising numerous good
things to eat, which ail seemed to en¬
joy. ’Tis needless for us to dilate on
this point, for everybody knows that
tire ladies of Forsyth, when ever they
attempt it, never fail to get up a good
table spread. The cash proceeds
realized from the entertainment was
very satisfactory.

to be hoped, however, that the peach

We have before called attention to

Christian Association? Indeed can
our voung men organize any other

good to them is likelv to result? We
call the attention of our young people
to the following extract from the
address of Editor Richardson, of the
Telegraph, delivered before the Y . M.
C. A. of Macon, on Thursday evening,
In pointing out the fruits of the asso
ciation, Mr. Richardson said:

the day the drift of con
temporaneous thought and history;
or seeking relaxation after the labors
and care of the day in some other en
muscle, limbs and lungs in the gene
rivalry for athletic honors; ,
place, kady’for in short, where everything is
the nurture of the .orals,
the mind and the body. A place
where a young man can spend the
hours of iiis evenings and come out
with some fresh thought stored in his
brain, some genial emotion stirring
in his heart, the glow of exhilirating
exercise beaming from hia clear royal eyes,
arai ‘dscheek with the
red of health. Fie will have lust as
niuch money as he carried there. His
prospect fora headache next morning
"ill be beautifully small, and his
danger of a heartache infinitely less.
It is not a pi ace where the chains or
vicious habits are forged and fastened,
not a place where he will find tuition
in the art of living beyond his means,
»or quick oblivion of the lessons of a
childhood wmch bloomed m thesweet
atmosphere of a pious home. There
is no temptation to spend health and
character along with money. I have
never heard of a brawl in sueh a place.
I have known a young man who could
not without a blush meet his mother,
his sister or his sweetheart as he came
out of its portals. If he have the right
sort of stuff in him the tendency ot
the associations and the exercise lie
finds there is to develop him into a
more symmetrical character; to make
maniier among men, gentler among
women, higher in his aims and purer
in his life.
The association fills a sphere of its
own. It does not pretend to reaches do the
work of the church, but it
where the influence of tlie church is
not felt. It asks tlie adoption of no
creed; it has no dogma to proclaim.
It has reared its structure upon the
pillars of honor, purity, chastity and
truth. It cares nothing about the
theories of men, but interests itself
with their lives. It strives to
helpayoungman when he is unknown
and friendless. If he is in the hands
of vicious companions it invites him
to better association. If he is out of
employment and has a willing, honest
heart, it endeavors to open for him
the avenues to business success No
stranger ever crossed its threshold and
went out again without some kind
word, without some feeling that he
was not quite friendless and alone.
It supplies the social demands
which "every young man of genial
nature feels, and when it brings him
the cup of social joy, it has in it no
drop of poison and no dregs of bitter
regrets.
To the youth entering upon his man¬
hood’s career in changed, and perhaps
livelier scenes than he lias hitherto
known, it is at once a resort and a
refuge; for it is a gateway to innocent
pleasures and a fotress against harm¬
ful ones.

TRe Social Service
The social service at the Methodist
church on Thursday night was well
attended. After conducting the reg
ular prayer service for a time, the
pastor invited all present to join in a
social commingling in a religious
wav, whereby closer relationships
between the members and attendants
upon the church might be cultivated
and whereby our people might know
each ofher better. And here we would
—mirk remark that that 11 if these tbe * e social SOC!aI church f' 111 * 10 - 1
services are properly restricted by all
who may attend them, and are carried
out iu the spirit that prompts them,
much benefit may be gotten out of
them. The object of these social
services as an appendage to the prayer
service is to benefit all who partiei
pate in them and to cultivate that
elevating and religiously social com
mingling with each other that should

Y. HI!. Cm Am Coiivention.
Macon, Ga., March 8tli, 1888.
Dear Brethren: —The tenth an¬
nual convention of the Young Men’s
Christian associations of Georgia, will
be held in this city, April 5th to 8th.
The Association of Macon extends
a most hearty invitation to all Asso¬
ciation workers and others engaged in
Christian work in towns where there
are no associations, to come aud join
with us in tiie abundant blessings of
this gathering, that we may learn tlie
best methods and plans of successfully
reaching the unsaved Young Men of
our State.
We invite the clergy of evangelical
churches to meet with us, and trust
that many young men who have nev¬
er enjoyed tlie privilege of being
present at a state convention will
avail themselves of this opportunity.
Entertainment will be provided for
all delegates and visitors, and we
earnestly request that names be sent
as soon as possible to YV. A. Winne,
General Secretary, Macon Young
Men’s Christian Association, that
places may be assigned delegates
without delay.
The reception committee will meet
all trains and may be known by their
white badges.
Let us earnestly pray that this
corning together may bring the richest
blessings of God upon our work, and
that this may be one of the best and
largest conventions, held in our state;
also, that our preparation for work
may be more thorough; that we be
endued with the power of His Spirit,
understanding His will more perfect¬
ly, and that in the coming year many
young men may be saved.

Perseverance .Siring# Success.
Notwithstanding the result of last
year’s operations in Monroe was to
' extent disappointment to both
an a
farmers and merchants, yet we are
glad to see that our people are still
hopeful and have entered upon this
year’s labors with a will. Interviews
j with our friends from various see
i tions of the county, coupled with the
j evidence that comes under our own
observation, brings out the fact that
our farmers are up and stirring, pre
paring and planting for another crop.
Pining over past failures will bring
no good results in future. Complain
ing and grumbling about hard times,
; scarcity of money, &c., will not add
to the coffers or comforts of any
people. And we are glad to know’
that the solid stirring farmers of
Monroe are not indulging in such,
but are active, industrious and ener
get?c, and pushing forward to the
goal of a coming harvest. When we
see a people thus at work, thus de¬
termined, we are not alarmed as to
future results. For the past teaches j
that perseverance will bring success,

memorial Duy.
A few weeks more will bring to us
memorial day, and hence it is not
too early to begin preperations for
paying proper tribute to our Confed¬
erate dead on that occasion. The
ruum veil that seems to shut out the
clarion voices of the members of the
Memorial Association causes our
people to sleep on this question
from one memorial day until
the next. And these are compara¬
tively Rip Van Winkle sleeps.
As time continues to lengthen the
bridge between us and the scenes that
gave birth to memorial day, we, the
living, seem to grow less mindful of
our duty to the memory of those
who sacrificed their lives upon their
country’s altar. Shall a perfect in¬
difference point the fact that fathers
and mothers have so soon forgotten
their dead soldier sons? that living
brothers and sisters have so soon for¬
gotten their dead soldier brothers?
Shall we permit the few lady mem¬
bers of the Memorial Association to
bear, unaided, the burden of prepera
tion necessary for a fit tribute to our
soldier dead, on the 26th of April?
Work, and much work, is needed
upon our Confederate cemetery to
make it at all sightlyand to give it even
a faint appearance of having received
the attention it deserves. And much
of this work is such as feeble women,
unaided, can not do. These ladies,
noble women, that they are,
have willing hands and willing
hearts, but without the means
and without strength they, cannot
accomplish the end desired. Hence
we bespeak for them the aid needed
from the town. For certainly every
citizen ought to aid, and especially
those who were eye-witnesses of the
scenes that brought into the circles of
time, memerial day.
The Ladies Memorial Association
has selected Mr. Geo. T. Banks as or¬
ator for the approaching memorial
occasion.

Sunday Services.
Tlie pulpit at the Methodist church
was occupied Sunday morning and
night by the pastor, ltev. J. M.
Tumlin. The theme of each dis¬
course was most opportune and so
nearly allied as to bo treated as 0110 .
The preacher, at each service, forci¬
bly illustrated the exceeding impor¬
tance of prompt religious work and
a faithful discharge of Christian
duty. Ho specially stressed the
close alliance between the church
and the world at the present day,
and urged the great need of drawing
the line between the walk of the
Christian and the walk of the world¬
ly, so clearly, as that no man can
fail to distinguish between them.
Dr. Branham preached at the
Baptist church. At tho morning
service ho brought prominently
forth for the consideration of his
hearers the sin growing out of tho
too common violation of the Sabbath.
The preacher clearly presented tho
imperitive need of a great reform, if
not of a complete revolution, by tho
people on this line. The Doctor is a
close reasoner, a deep thinker and
generally developes the truths of
the subject he handles in a manner
to impress those whom he addresses.

Tom Burney's Conaition.
The Unnion Recorder, Milledgo
ville, speaking of Tom Burney, who,
having been reared in our town is
well known to many of our people,
says;
“As so many papers have already
mentioned so feelingly and regretful¬
ly Major Tom Burney’s being here,
it only shows how well and favora¬
ble he is known, arid that of his
friends “their name is legion.” Ho
is indeed a quiet, dignified, genial
and friendly companion. His many
friends will be glad to know that bis
mind is not deranged as exaggerated
reports are apt to infer—but he is
simply overworked and is suffering
from nervous prostration which
rest and quiet, such us be is getting
here will soon relieve and restore
him to his bright and useful sphere
ot action.”
Wo are glad to know that there
is good prospect ot Mr. Burney's
early rstoration to health and use¬
fulness. We have known Tom from
boyhood and have ever entertained
for him that kindly feeling that
binds man to man. May his restora¬
tion be rapid and result in early and
complete recovery.
