WrHe I p lour Section.
What evil spirit has taken posses
si on of our several correspondents in
the county? Have they become so
selfish that they do not w ish their
section of the county advertised ? We
do not believe so. J)o they believe
that no good will result to the county
by advertising it? If so, we differ
with them. Now we state candidly,
that the A l>vKKTIRKK is not only desi¬
rous, but anxious to promote the in¬
terest of the people of Monroe county,
individually and collectively. Nor is
our anxiety on this point confined to
any one or a particular section of the
county, but embraces the whole coun¬
ty and every citizen in it. Whatsoever
we can do through the columns of
the Advkrtiskk that tends to the
good and benefit of the county in the
way of making known any and all
its advantages au<! resources, we stand
ready to do. But being neither ubiq¬
uitous nor omniscient, we need the
cooperation of the people in the dif¬
ferent sect ions of the county in our
effort* in this particular. Hence our
solicitation for correspondents in ev¬
ery district in the comity. The state¬
ment may seem strange to some, but
there are natives in Monroe county,
who are advanced beyond life’s me¬
ridian, who really do not know
wat a grand county is theirs, and they
are of our best citizens. And indeed
we have young men in this county
who do not realize what a splendid
opening for the future is before them
right here In their native county, and
lienee they are going to the west and
elsewhere in search of the good place.
Therefore write up your sections of
tile county, give facts, in a condensed
manner, that prove their advantages
and resources, and thus inform these
youngmeu, (your sons and brothers)
that there is, all tilings considered, no
better, more promisingor more invit¬
ing country to he found, than their
own native county, and thereby* if
possible, keep these young men, of
whom vi e haven’t half enough in the
county, here among us where we
need them.

|/‘Corn find cotton are doing their

way a
Monroe county farmer said to us last
week. The unpromising crop pros¬
pect of May may yet prove to be a flat¬
tering prospect in July. One year ago
the crops in this section were ex
tremely flattering and the
were banking in their calculations on
a gloriously prosperous year. But
the result of the farmer’s ami mer
chant's balance sheets for the
were more or less a disappointment
•rim rvault of the .rowing
crops iiki^ prove the reverse. We
hope so. And indeed notwithstand
ing the crop prospect now falls much
below what it was just one year ago,
yet the harvest may prove far better ;
than was the harvest of last year, j
Fanners from different sections of the I
county report a healthy appearance j
and rapid growth of the crops. Hence
there is no reason for gloom and de
spo.ulency among the people. So let j
us all be cheerful cultivate pleasant
feelings and bright hopes, and have |
several good social dinners in differ¬
ent parts of the county, iu July, after
the plows and hoes are laid aside for
the season.

Closeu for the Term.
Prof. W. J. Noyes, principal of
Hilliard Institute, expected and was
arranging to close the exercises of
that school on Friday next with a
public examination of the pupils, but
owing to the death of his babe and his
desire to bury its remains in the
family cemetery at Cedartown, the
school v-as suddenly closed for the
term on Wednesday last. Prof.
Noyes, during his administration for
the last twelve months has'endeared
himself to his pupils as an educator,
and under his management, aided by
Miss Mamie Lobby, the school has
made good progress.
The curriculum and grading ofthis
school ranks with the best schools
and should command the hearty and
zealous support of our ent ire people.
The present Principal has been re¬
elected for the ensuing year, and the
exercises of the fall term will open in
August.
TO THE PUBLIC.
About three years ago I invested
about five thousand dollars in a iiverv
stable, horses and livery equipage.
Some of the people have appreciated
my effort, not as a favor to me, but
because they knew it would help the
town. Up to date I have lost money
on the livery part of my business;
therefore I am compelled to make
some changes or close up. I will ad¬
vance the price for my teams, and
work for ctlsii. I will furnish good
teams to those who are willing to pay
for them and pay the cash. I cannot
keep books for the livery business,
and hope that my efforts to keep a
livery business in the town will be
appreciated, and that the public will
help me out in it.

Sunday Services.
In the absence of the pastor the
pulpit at the Methodist church was
tilled Sunday morning by Rev. C. A.
Turner. The leading theme of this
discourse was charity. Discarding
superfluity of words the preacher
presented his thoughts in a concise
but clear and distinct manner. He
drew a parallel between true charity
and censoriousness, showing clearly
and forcibly the vast difference be¬
tween the results growing out of the
exercise of a spirit of charity and the
exercise of a spirit of eensoriousness.
He also brought out the fact that
those persons who yield themselves
to the dominion of a censorious spirit
are occupying dangerous ground and
are stumbling blocks in the pathway

oi k WASiueroK letter.
Washington, D. C., June 15,188S.
Washington is truly a city of poli¬
tics. Containing men of all political
creeds, one stays not long in its midst
before some political chord is struck,
which gives to his inward opinion
outward expression, and indeed, one
is not true to his upermost thoughts
who omits mention of the political
outlook. Each daily paper thiough
its editorials speaks freeely of the
situation and on each successive day,
and with kalie< e »seopic changeability
and with a ludicrousness scarcely
equaled, predicts different results of
the political contest. Telegraph
wires all over the country tremble, as
it were, under the excessive weight
of campaign news, the latest dots
from different points (Chicago now;
are read with eager interest, and
each respective reader moulds doubt¬
ful probabilities into glittering eer
tainties only to suit the desired ends
in each particular case.
Congressmen, on the one hand,
with one eye on the outlook and with
the other on their interests in con¬
gress and on legislative matters in
general, make mental attempts to
reconcile the two, designing in their
imagination that the consequences
of the one shall lend final success to
the other. While on the other haud,
the lesser creatures of political for¬
tune, (if government employees may
be so styled,) realizing their depend¬
ence on the bounties of the govern¬
ment, intuitively regard the election
day, in next November as a critical
time, and zealously hope that those
of kindred faith will win the fight.
But what will be the result nobody
can tell. The democrats have opened
the campaign. Having nominated
Mr. Cleveland by acclamation and
Mr. Thurman practically so, those
eight hundred delegates at St. Louis
evinced a unanimity scarcely equaled
in national councils. They did their
work well and presented to the coun¬
try a ticket the strength of which
may well cause republicans to
feel uneasy and lament their own
unsuited condition. Mr. Cleveland can
no longer be called an obscure citizen
and unknown to his people; but now
his public acts during the past three
years commend him as being true and
tried—while Mr. Thurman has ever
been unswerving in his devotion to
country and party and his popularity
threatens to overshadow political
creed and win supporters from the
opposite side.
Notwithstanding this, the demo¬
crats are conscious that the republi¬
cans intend making a desperate strug¬
gle for supremacy this fall and that
no effort shall sleep which will in the
least lead to the restoration to power
of a fallen party. Tuesday Chicago
will become the locum of another
convention and such a crowd of un¬
decided delegates there will be as
will make all conjectures as to the
result perfectly idle. Rumors are
afloat that Mr. Blaine favors Sherman
and they have even gone so far as to
8ay that he wrote a Ietterto Mr. Jones
chairman of the national republican
** l ’ r ** staK thte
L. but I judge that
Blaine is too discreet a pof
itician to openly express his prefer
ences in this respect
Gresham seems to be more eeneral
i v n0 nnlar t£ argu^or than unv S
Sherman
there must be some counteracting
influence in Ohio to oppose Sherman.
Ohio, however, will doubtless go re¬
publican without such influence.
Harrison is exceedingly popular in
Ids state and his friends are very per¬
sistent, still his popularity seems not
to be so general and his chances are
probably slim. Depew is a railroad
man aud the consequent prejudices
are against him.
As for Allison and Alger there is
no apparent reason for thinking
either will get it, except it be by
chance. Many others are mentioned
as dark horses, such as McKinly,
Phelps and one hitherto not meution
ed and scarcely known outside of his
own city. This one is Mayor Filler,
of Philadelphia, and it is said the
Pennsylvania delegation will boom
him for all it is worth,
Setting aside all this uncertainty it
is certainly settled that the east and
west will continue to form the ticket
—most probably the head from the
west with its mate from the east.
But what matters it as to who they
will be? Wherefore should demo
crats apprehend their defeat this fall?
True, this is our first terra after a
very long time, but what matters
that? All the avenues of trade have
prospered under the presentadmiuis
tration, the railroad debt has been
reduced; an attempt is being made to
reduce taxation, and countless other
matters of a beneficial character have
been attended to. The people see the
good results and are loud in their
praise of democratic principles.
Independent and mugwump organs
are siding with our party, while

THE BLACKBERRY.
Some Words of Wisdom and Informa¬
tion About It,
Albany, Ga., News.
The crop of blackberries was
never larger nor the berries more
luscious than this season. The
copious showers all along through
last month have contributed to bring
the crop to a perfect maturity. The
blackberry is held in high esteem
for table use and for preserves, but
the people of this section fail to util¬
ize fully a bounty which is but half
appreciated. .North Carolina makes
annually more than a million of
dollars net from the blackberry by
sun-drying them. They are in great
request, and markets are already
opened up. It is believed that it
would be necessary in this section to
dry them by the use of evaporators,
yet it would pay even to go to the
expense of buying evaporators and
drying the berries on a large scale.
It would afford remunerative em¬
ployment to hundreds of women and
children. But there is no immediate
prospect of such enterprise, and in
the meantime hundreds of bushels
of berries dry up on the bushes in
this section, or go to feed the birds
and animals which feast on them.
One of the best uses to which the
facture blackberry can be put is the manu¬
of cordial. The decoction
has medical properties of the high¬
est order as a corrective and mild
astringent, and every household
should be provided with a supply.
The recipe, which has been used in
this city with the most signal suc¬
cess, is as follows: Boil the berries
until thoroughly done and strain
them. To two quarts of juice add
one pound of light-brown sugar, and
put in one tablespoonful each of
cinnamon, spice and cloves. Boil
this until it begins to thicken, and
strain, or leave spices if wished.
When cold, add one-fourth as much
brandy or good whisky as there is
syrup, and bottle and seal well.
The News is quite correct in its
views on tho subject of tbe black¬
berry. The usual crop ofthis berry
that grows in this county, if properly
utilized could be made an important
crop and a source of considerable
revenue to our people. These ber¬
ries are easily preserved, canned, or
dried, and in each state are salable,
and valuable for winter use. Where
permitted they grow promiscuously
in good soil, and the only expense
attaching to such a crop is the gath¬
ering and preparing for market
which can be done by women and
children who are not available as
laborers in other fields. This brings
up tbe suggestion we have often
thrown out that a canning 0 and fruit
r ' ,n S establishment . in Forsyth
would prove to be a profitable en
terprise.

FIRST COTTON IILOONIS.
Good Cotton Without Guano.
Mr. A. J. Brown, of Caban iss, (14th)
district, which is one of the most
progressive and best farming districts
in our county, placed upon our table
on Thursday, a sample stalk of cotton
that measured 22 inches above ground
and contained twenty squares. This
sample was taken from a lb< acre
patch that was planted on the 2nd
day of April and upon which no gua¬
no was used, and in which was found
two cotton blooms on the 13th instant.
Mr. Brown runs six plows on his
farm, does not use guano and general¬
ly gets the first bale of cotton in his
section of country and sells it for the
best price. He is a practical farmer
and like ourselves, lie does not believe
that guano is the fertilizer with which
to enrich and add to the productive
capacity of our lauds. He holds that
using guano and buying western corn
and meat is bringing bankruptcy
upon many farmers in the south.
He makes good crops of cotton with¬
out guano.
