Knno Mr. Lee Thrash is
well known h Kelsey’s dist rict, and
the surround ig country as a tax
gatherer; and deservedly so, for lie
gets it all.
He collected the delinquent taxes
in this section last year, ami the peo¬
ple know him. Ho returned here
two weeks ago on the same business,
and the people know he would not
be put off; so they walk right up and
settle. He discharges his duty in a
\ very quiet way; tolls them it. is a duty
they owe themslevdb and country,and
to come right up like men and settle,
vjthcji they most invariably do. If

who have worked their roads, to state
Hat they have put them in much
s!et.ter order than usual at this season
of t lie year.
Mr. George Wilson is entitled to
special mention tor tho manner in
which he has worked his road, it be¬
ing one of the most difficult in the
county to work. With tiie exception
of two years it is better worked than
it has been in fifteen years. He, also,
is a fast worker, the time in which he
accomplished the work being about
half that usually taken to the same
amount of work on roads.
Tiie overseers seem to have gone at
their work with pleasure, and the
same spirit engrafted in the hands
made It light and cheerful work;
hence better roads in less time and
no trouble to any.
1 look forward, after crops are laid
by, to have roads in this section
equal to those of Bibb county, and

On account of tiie frequent showers
of rain (lie attendance on divine ser¬
vice Sunday morning was small.
Rev. J. M. Tomlin, the pastor was
nt His post of duty at tiie Methodist
church and gave those iii attendance
a good sermon as usual. Ilia theme
was “trust in God,” in following up
which, lie drew his illustrations from
the life of Daniel who never permit¬
ted his trust in God to waver.
So should it he with the Christian
of the present day, if he would be joy¬
ous, contented, and happy in this life,
and obtain tlie crown of eternal re¬
joicing beyond the jordan of death.
Dr. Branham occupied his place in
the pulpit at the Baptist church and
gave his hearers a sermon, that was
edifying and instructive, as he usual
iy does. The Doctor never fails to
bring out in his pulpit discourses
thoughts worthy of thorough diges¬
tion by his hearers.

Our position on the court house
qUCstioU seems to have beeu nfisap
P**hended by some. We ’nave never
yet advocated the building of a new
court ltouse, because we have not
been aijle to see a cause or need for it.
Because a gooil horse with splendid
frame is P oor enough to show his
ribs,it is no & oud reason why the own
er should chunk him away and pay a
fancy price for a new horse because he
' S fat ‘> 8,vck ’ anu groomed. ’Tis
,ess ex P eus3v e to give proper care
and attention to the one in hand and
bring him up to good condition.
But we have advocated and do ad
vocate the enlargement of our court
room which is entirely too small for
the accommodation, even of those
who are compelled to be in attend
ance upon our courts. Every one

The spring term of our sunerior
court begins next Monday. The civil
business of the court bids fair to be
fight. While there is a fair number
of cases docketed, there seems to be
none of very great weight. The jail
however is moderately full of birds,
waiting either to be uncaged, or to
change cages, according as an inves¬
tigation of the charges against them
may determine. ITence the criminal
docket when reached, may prove to
be somewhat lively.

For the last week tiie weather has
been quite nnpropitious for business
and unfavorable to the farming in¬
terest. During tiie last four days
much rain has fallen, but not in hasty
torrents. At times the themometer
has indicated mid spring weather, but
at this writing tiie. veering of the
wind to the northwest is indicative
of a change in this particular. At 6
o’clock yesterday morning, the sultri¬
ness of the atmosphere, coupled with
witli the angry, cyclonic appearance
of the clouds, lighted up with vivid
,la91 »e8 of lightening followed by peals
i ° f thuuder > presaged anything but
i propitious weather. But the fore
bodings terminated in neither storm
nor cyclone, but a copious tall of rain.

P ee t. The pleasant smiles worn by
Mr. ^° !in Ponder, of Forsyth Man

In a few more months, realization
will take the place of imagination,
and then will tlie hum or industrial
activity begin in earnest.
Yes, indeed, the Forsyth factory i«
rapidly looming up into one of For
syth’s realities, and when it does be
come a real, living institution it wil
arouse the dormant energies of on:;
people and will give such Hfcipetu.i tho.sl
towards the accomplishrm-nt cf
grand ends which have long bee.i
possible to us as we havejhever had
before. Already the transient wbis
pers that occasionally come floating
upon the passing breeze tell out the
fact that our carriage factory and the
growing cotton factory are not to be
the only manufacturing enterprises
in our town. Already the eyes ofen
terprising men are surveying the
ground, forecasting the future, and
mapping out other enterprises that
would be a lasting blessing and a per
petual benetit to our people. Nor are
they of that class who always take
a seat back—very far back, under the
shelter of do-nothing-ism and sing
that old, hateful, croaking song, *\ve
cant.”

The burning of Mr. Wiley Pritch¬
ett’s little son, Wiley, of which we
made mention last week, resulted in
his death on Tuesday last. Little
Wiley suffered in 3i H Fom
rtSTa. taken
his suffering on earth to joys eternal.
We extend to the bereaved parents
our warmest sympathies, with the
hope that this sad affliction may be
sanctified to their spiritual good.
At bis home at Bolingbroke, on
Thursday night, Mr. L, N. Norm de¬
parted this life in the 25th year of his
age. The deceased had been a suffer¬
er from consumption for sometime
and ins death was not unlooked for.
During his short manhood life he had
developed those traits of character
that go to make up the true man.
Died at his father’s home at Caba
niss on Saturday morning, Johnnie,
of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Shannon,
twelve years. Johnnie has been
the subjeet of severe affliction from
rheumatism for a long time. Tiie
disease had preyed upon the little
until Saturday J morning
when, , .. reached . . a v.tal ., , pomt and he .
rather suadenly.
Thus we see that death calls for the
ch"d .... the youth ,, and , the . young man
well as the aged. i

flies our sympathies in this their hour

The following on the above subject
is so apropos to the times and the
custom in our state that we give it for
the benefit of our readers:
“Court meets next week, to-day is
Wednesday, and tiie “overseer”
warned the hands yesterday to meet
him to-morrow. If ‘it don’t rain or
snow” the overseer can “scratch
about,” fill up a hole and make an¬
other; also put in a few pine tops be¬
fore the court sits. The grand jury,
if it don’t forget him, will approve
him, and so Georgia illustrates to the
civilized world her method of “how
not to do it.” Her success is perfect.
1 have traveled in twenty-seven of
the states; also in Canada. Middle
Georgia dirt roads are as mean as the
meanest in any civilized country.
There are none so mean, except those
in one or two other states, with the
same sort of soil and alleged plans of
working roads.
The first sentence of this article is
an exact statement. 1 copy, omit¬
ting names or giving others, a notice
on the desk before me. I hope the
proof-reader will leave it as it is
written:

without works, is dead. We want

Alliance Advocate,
Southern and people convinced arc becoming
more more every
year that the big plantatation will
have to go before prosperity comes
to om* section. Past experience has
proven beyond the slightest shadow
of a doubt that big farms, as a rule,
do not pay. It is universally admit¬
ted that the large plantations should
be divided into small ones thereby
increasing the population, enhancing
the price of lands, improving the
modes of cultivation augmenting
schools and churches and improving
the country in many respects.
Georgia wants more intelligent,
industrious and progressive people
and fewer plodding mutton heads.
The Covington Star takes this
view on the subject: “The big
Georgia plantations must go, and
the thrifty two-mule farm is the on¬
ly one to take its place.
Georgia is an agricultural state,
but she cannot raise corn for her
market in competition with the fer¬
tile soil of the west. But Georgia
can and must raise enough corn for
her own consumption or her farmers
will all be bound under the unrelent¬
ing mortgage as they are in Michi*
£ :l n.
Tiie big farms will not pay in
Georgia, but the small one will.
The two-mule farm is the one for
this section. The expense is so great,
and the lands can po enriched more
easily.”
As an humble citizen we planted
ourselves on this platform fifteen
years ago, and wc have never einco
abandoned it, belciving it to be the
true policy for our people to pcrsuc.
During these' fifteen years actual
facts have clearly demonstrated the
truth of our then position. Thr/*"
financial rctrogade of most of
large farmers during this period
stands today as evidence strong as
holy writ, that large farms in this
section arc not profitable. T be
cause or causes lev this we dcr not
propose to inquire into. Suffice it to
say that they exist.
indeed it is becoming more clear¬
ly apparent ench year, that larg e
farms, owned, controlled and run by
