Too many of our people are disposed
to look upon truck farming as a little
pin-hook business out of wliich no
profit accrues. This is quite a mis¬
take, and has been proven to be such,
by many who have engaged in it.
One great trouble with our southern
people is that they have not, and do
not husband the iittle things. This,
’tis true, is the result, to an extent, of
a want of markets. But to obviate
this somewhat, transportation faoili
ties have been made such that mark
Pis once distant have been brought
near.
Truck farming proper comprises at
tention to milk, butter, eggs, poultry,
fruits, vegetables, melons, etc. Eaelt
of these, of itself, is a little tiling, but
properly handled, is a source of in
come and per cent, profit on the
investment is generally good bestow- when
and where proper attention is
ed.
Mr. \V. A. Ansley residing near
the suburbs of our city has been giv¬
ing bis attention to this line of farm

tion. His operations have boon eon

Tannery Needed.
When we consider the great
inand for, and the various uses
which, leather is appropriated,
the very broad margin between
prices of raw hides and leather we
are inclined to the opinion that a
nery is needed in Forsyth.
when proper thought is given the
subject the idea developes that
an enterprise in our
properly managed, would be
with profitable results. With the fa
ciiities at command it would require
no very great the outlay of money to^
prosecute business on a pretty
considerable scale. The materials
necessary to its prosecution are with
in easy reach. And we see no reason
why a tannery in Forsyth could not
be made as successful as at any other
point. In the long years ago there
was well a tannery in our city that was
supported, and the avenues to
success from such an enterprise now
are much more numerous than then,
uavv hides are being sold from five
to six cents per pound, and when
converted, through the tanning pro
cess, which is not attended with tab
ulous expense, into good leather,
commands forty cents per pound.
ibis is certainly a very broad mar
gin from the raw hide to leather.
furthermore a good tannery sue
cessfully prosecuted here would more
than likely develope a shoe and liar
ness midst manufacturing which establishment in
our would be a valu
able acquisition. For it strikes us
that no good substantial reason can
be assigned why, with the introduc
tion of the modern facilities for such
work, all grades of shoes and harness
can not be manufactured as cheaply
here as in the larger cities where the
expenses of the same are necessarily
heavier than would be here. Wherein
judgment consists a good reason, or the practical

The past history of Forsyth has its
lougand numerous pages of prosperity
dotted with semi-occasional para¬
graphs of adversity.
When it became the county site of
a county surpassed by no other in
Georgia, it rapidly went to the
front as a town of business activity in
the days of the pioneers, and early in
its history became a center of intelli¬
gence, refinement, and culture. From
the first, its growth was gradual, sub¬
stantial, and permanent, nothing
mushroomy in its make up or sur¬
roundings.
In its earlier growth it kept equal
pace in its educational and religious
facilities with the progress of advanc¬
ing intelligence.
In its comparative youth, Forsyth
became the terminus pro. tern, of the
first railroad in the south, and for
more than fifty years has enjoyed
railroad facilities. Likewise when
young, the prowess and intelligence
of her citizens drew to her bosom the
second chartered female college
in the world. For forty years of
her ante-bellum history #lie grew
and prospered, holding all the while
her position in the front ranks of in¬
tellectual and religious progress.
Comfort, ease and luxury, the fruits
of plenty, were among the glories of
her homes.
When the cloud of war hovered up¬
on the border of our south-land her
sons and daughters swerved not, but
answering promptly their country’s
call, did well and nobly their part in
that giant conflict. Emerging from
that struggle with property gone, and
realizing that intelligence, energy
and enterprise are sure foundations,
upon these her citizens, nothing
daunted, began again to build.
In this recuperative struggle through
a period of well nigh a quarter of a
century, prosperity has attended and
crowned, with few exceptions, tlieef
forts of her people. During this
struggling period her two institutions
of learning have been razed to the
ground by the devouring flames, but
have been splendidly rebuilt and are
to-day living witnesses of the educa
tioual interest of her people,
Less than twenty-five years ago For
encircled sytil’s business center was well nigh
with a net work of common
wooden buildings, most of which
were swept away by tire, and to-day
j thirty-nine splendid brick houses
constitute that net work of buildings
. and line her business streets. These,
too are living testimonials of the de
termined spirit and enterprise of For
sytli’s citizens,
Such are hut the mere outlines of
. her past.
, But her present is that with which
we, who live to-day, have to do.
Then what of the present? But a
? comparatively short time has elapsed
since there was begun in earnest a
talk of diversifying Forsyth’s indus
tries and enterprises. About three
years ago the Advertiser sounded
the bugle note on this line, and has
pressed the matter from time to time
’upon the idea that the constant drip
ping of the water would wear away
* the stone. There has been aroused
the dormant energies of our older men
who have caught the spirit of inspi
.. ration from our enterprising younger
men who have come and are coming
to the front, and in whose counte
mination nances may clearly be read the deter
to make Forsyth a center of
activity and the home ufen
prise. itial Out of of this has grown the iu
crop interprises that are upon
TOttonfMtorywhlcU
realities, and will help to spin the
next crop of cotton. This brings the
manufacturers and cotton producers
of our county face to face in buying
anf ] selling. This factory will em
the incurred in convert- tij’ov
er expenses
ing the raw cotton into manufactured
goods. This is the first round in For
syth’s ladder of varied industries,
a little more than a year ago the
establishment of a canning factory in
our city was discussed among our cit
izens to some extent. Now the shrill
notes of the engine’s whistle ringing
out upon the air, morning and even
i ngi tells to the citizens of Forsyth
and surrounding country for miles, of
the beginning and ending of a full
day’s work in Forsyth’s canning fac
tory in lull blast.
In this establishment are employed
about fifty hands at fair wages and
everything about it moves with life,
it too, gives employment to a
large class who would otherwise be
idle drones in the community,
This factory run to its capacity of
4,000 cans per day opens a homemar
ket for the thousands of fruit grown
j n the vicinity, and presents a chan
ne ] through which this fruit can be
converted into cash and thereby
made a source of revenue. This is
round number two in Forsyth’s di
versified industries and a feeder to
j J6 r business
Our oil mill, which, but a few weeks
ago, existed only in thought, is rapid¬
ly coming into life. A strong and
active force is employed in erecting
the buildings therefor and are push¬
ing them to an early completion, and
will have the mill in readiness to
extract the oil from the seed of the
next cotton crop, and an extensive
ginery to seperate the seed from the
cotton. Coupled with this particular
enterprise is the promise of other
manufacturing establishments,wliich
if developed into realities, will make

the godess of diversified farming
asserting her sway on every Monroe
county farm, planting the smile of
content upon the countenance of every
tiller of the soil, and thereby strength

Indeed with brain power, energy and
her tangible possibilities means, an exageration of
Forsyth’s would have to
be a lar reaching sketch. Remember
her past, consider her present, and
then conjecture her possible future.
Situated on the greatest commercial
artery of the south, in the fertile belt
between the high and low lands,
freed from mountain snows and trop
ical heat, breathing as healthful
breezes as ever fanned the cheek of
man, quenching her thirst with pure,
health producing waters, enjoying an
unexcelled climate, and surrounded
with farm product soils capable of producing
every save the tropical, For¬
syth’s location is unsurpassed by any
town in Georgia. When her geo¬
graphical, natural, and artificial ad¬
vantages are considered where is
the spot in the garden belt of the
earth that can surpass her in locality.
The strong proof of Forsyth’s stability
and the permanency of her enter¬
prises is the fact that her cotton fac¬
tory, her canning and evaporating
factory, her carriage factory, her oil
mill and its concomitants have been
and are being built with home capi¬
tal. Our citizens have used and are
using their own money in building
up these enterprises, and thereby
demonstrate their faitli in the ulti¬
mate success of them. We do not
make this statement as braggadocio
nor with a view to close our doors to
outside capital. On the contrary our
doors are open to outside investors,
and these investments of our own
citizens are only strong evidences to
capitalists having funds seeking a
profitable outlet that it is safe to in¬
vest in enterprises in a community
where the home people take hold
and where the prospects are such as
surround our beautiful city.
We hope we are neither a fanatic
nor an before enthusiast, but with the out¬
look us, our faith leads us to
believe that Forsyth’s slowest growth
and slowest progress is in the past,
and that her present manufacturing
enterprises are only the initial steps
to long and rapid strides in that line.

The Faulting Factory.
tle Wednesday morning last the whis¬
sounded the signal for the begin¬
ning of operations in Forsyth’s
canning after factory, and shortly there¬
the interior of the building re¬
minded the visitor of the working of
bees around the hive in the month of
May. About thirty-five or forty
hands had been engaged and were
present and ready for work. When
the steam was turned on and the ma¬
chinery this put in operation, each one of
number of bands soon learned i
that tlie canning of fruit meant busi¬
ness, and that no employee in that
establishment had any time for idling.
The receivers and checkers, the
measurers, the fruit bearers, those
handling the fruit parers, tho can
fillers, the solderers, et. al., all found
work to do, and that under the
watchful eyes of Superintendant Van
Tassel, the business would be run on
clock-work style, and that drones
and laggards would not be tolerated
in that hive. Everything in and
about the building was indicative of
business, activity and life,
Peaches were pared and quartered,
cans filled, soldered, and stacked with
dispatch. pervade An air of business seemed
to and the entire surroundings,
smiles of gratification could be
seen playing over the faces of both
emyloyes and visitors. A close dis
cerner of the thoughts of men might
have discovered beaming from the
countenances of merchants, clerks,
bankers, mechanics, and farmers
present, the silent declaration that
manufacturing had begun in Forsyth,
and that the city was entering upon
its upward movement.
That being the first and experi¬
mental day, when the evening whis¬
tle blew “hands off,” actual count
revealed fifteen hundred three pound
cans filled and in stack as the result
of tljp day*! operation. The operation
of he succeeding days of the week
followed with increasing result. The
operation from the paring of the fruit
to ing lifting the filled cans from the boil¬
uninitiated vats was had more simple than the
that this market anticipated. Now
for converting their
surplus fruit into cash has been open¬
ed up to the people in the vicinity of
Forsyth, each and every one, who can,
should avail themselves of it.
And right here, to prevent disap¬
pointment and as a matter of pru¬
dence, we would suggest’ that those
desiring to sell their fruit to the
factory should see the superintendent,
Mr. VanTassel, concerning the deliv¬
ery of the fruit before bringing in the
same. This done, everything will
run smoothly and no loss will obtain
from over-crowding. The quantity
of fruit, with an eye to its quality and
kind, adequate to the capacity of the
factory will be engaged each day.
We throw out these suggestions
that none may be disappointed in not
finding sale for their fruit and have
to carry it back.

On the educational question this
is the way the ease stands on tho
docket before the legislature. Uni- Dr.
i Boggs, president ot tho State
versify, advocates tho branch collego
scheme; Dr. Nunfially, president of
Emory, Mercer, and Dr. Candler, president of
oppose this scheme, and
make a strong plea for common
schools. Tho Atlanta correspondent
of the Macon Telegraph gives tho
following Dr. report of Dr. Nunnally
and Candler’s views, as express¬
ed in their addresses before tho gen¬
eral assembly on Tuesday evening
last. The reporter says:
Dr. Nunnally spoke for an hour
and a half, but it was an interesting
address.
lie did not think much of tho
branch college scheme. Instead of
being feeders to tho university, they
sap and suck it. One of those which
had cost the university $ 12,000 or
$14,000 had, in five or six years
sent tliero only two or three stu¬
dents.
He took the position that if tho
state bus any money to spond, she
should spend it on the common
schools. Give the poor children all
thejad vantages of the public treasury,
and tho doctor said :
“If you have any more to spond
beyond this, show your manhood
and fairness by spending *t on tho
girls. Give them industrial training.
Fit them to earn a livelihood with¬
out bartering honor for bread Fit
them to he noble wives a^d mothers.”
dr. candler’s address.
Dr. Candler began his address
witn some forcible remarks in behalf
of tho church col logon. He said that
the church ought to be an export in
higher education. Tliero are 365
colleges and universities in the Uni¬
ted States. Of these 278 belong to
the church.
Out. of (55,000 students in the col¬
leges 50,000 are in the church col¬
leges and none of them ask help
from the state.
Emory has graduated. fiftyHhroo
college and university presidents,
one justice of the United States su¬
preme court, thirteen circuit judges,
(Iji 1.0 O IL. 1^ LL> t ifij/z.y 1L1 f Y~* JV -fjMtro £}
generals and two bishops. All she
asks of the state government is no
tin friendly legislation.
He then appealed for the liberal
support of the common schools as
tho best help to higher education.
The theory, educate at the bottom
and reach upward,- was better than
to begin at the top and roach down¬
ward. Tho latter had been tried in
Georgia a long time, and has not
answered.
The university is old. It is worth
now $663,000, but it Inis not given
the state good common schools and
never will. He also urged that the
slate ought to spend every dollar it
can spare in common schools, and
that course will inevitably lift up
tho whole educational fabric of the
state.
