At Re*t.
On Friday last after several weeks
of illness, Mrs. Lucy Stafford depart¬
ed this life at her home in Bartlesville.
Mrs. Stafford was long a resident of
this city, being brought up from
childhood here, where she made to
herself a host of friends.
Her* ini ns were brought to For
sytli, * Knlay, for interment in the
family lot in our cemetery.
The funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Johnson, of Barneaville,
pastor of the deceased, were held at
the Methodist church in this city.
The funeral sermon was quite ap¬
propriate and calculated to impress
for good the many who heard it.
The deceased left a number of rela
Bves and hosts of friends to mourn
. she left
h er death, but the record is
evidence to the living that her imn.or
! tal spirit is at rest. Our sympathies
are extende d to those bereaved.

Present indications point the fact
that at an early day an alliance stoie
will be established in Forsyth. The
of this movement is the
general good of all the people, and
injury to none. One ot the leading
features of this enterprise is to reduce
the current expense- ot r , farmers by
opening up to them channels through
which they can obtain those articles
which they are compelled to purchase
at the lowest figures. If this result
obtains from a successful conduct of
this enterprise in our community,
men no one will claim fiat it will
not work a general good; for the great
desideratum of our farmers is to make
the margin of their expenses as small
as posssibie.
1 his being the object am puipoae
of the Alliance men, is there in this
movement any ground for autagou
ism and antipathy between them and
other classes? Between the movers

the y put on a pleasant smile
reporting to us that crops in theirl
vicinity are fine. Some expressed!
the opinion that Monroe countyi
would house enough corn, at the!
coming harvest, if prudently hus-J thoj
banded, to supply her demands for
coming year. We sincerely hope this!
may prove to be true.
Another pleasant result of the ocean '
sion was that a hundred and seventy-'
three dollars were realized for the\
building of the church, in
tion in that community. :
May this be the beginingof au effort
that will early result in the erection
q£a splendid church for those good

in any vicinity is the strongest
promise of the moral upbuilding of th^
people.

Sunday morning the writer, in
j | out company to spend with the Mr. day T. aud D. Smith, take went air
an
in the country. An hour’s iide
took us to the home of Hon. J. T.
j Crowder, which is one c! the exceed
i ingly pleasant homes in our county.
Notwithstanding, but a few years ago
handsome residence that stood
was reduced to ashes, the Col
has erected on the same spot a
modern and more conveniently
building as the home of his
c liuiug years. It was constructed
a special view to the comfort of
inmates, and is indeed a most
home, having such sur
roundings as tend to make home the
dearest spot on earth.
On arrival we found several of Col.
Crowder’s friends who had preceded
us, and who, like ourselves, had gone
j there to spend the day, among whom
were several young ladies whose
presence is always requisite to till up
the measure of happiness.
Having passed the forenoon in
pleasant chattings, about the usual
dinner hour, we were invited into the
spacious dining room where we found
the festal board filled with good eata¬
bles, among which were splendidly
barbecued meats. Here was evidence
that a skilled hostess presides in that
home. This part of the progamme,
of course, all present enjoyed splen¬
didly.
The hours of the afternoon passed
as pleasantly as had those of the
morning, and when the parting hour
came, all bade each other adieu, feel¬
ing that they had been the partic¬
ipants in a day of pleasant social in¬
tercourse.

Dear Sir:— We have been appoint¬
ed by your fellow citizens of Monroe
to testify to you their high esteem of
your conduct as a soldier in the late
Florida Campaign, and likewise to
invite you to partake of a collation to
be given on Friday 3rd of June, in
honor of the Monroe Musketeers, who
so nobly and patriotically volunteered
their sevices, and repaired to the re¬
lief of the people of Florida.
The conduct of the corps with which
you acted, and whose badge you bore
during its three month’s service in
the Seminole war was such as to
merit the highest honors within the
gift of your fellow citizens, and con¬
fer a distinguished mark of respect
upon the community in wich you
reside.
We are concious that this is but a
feeble tribute of the very high respect
with which you are holden by the
people of Georgia, yet wo flatter our
fjelvoKJt AvjlLnO-t be ty ntn-dD ^gnaroep

In conclusion permit us, as the
committee selected by your fellow
citizens, to express this manifestation
of their respect, to tender you our
highest consideration of esteeem &c.

Attempt to Break Jail,
Sunday, three negro prisoners, who
have been lodged in our jail for some
time, attempted to make their escape.
When Deputy sheriff, J. H. King
went to the jail to carry the prisoner’s
dinner, as he opened the front door
the three prisoners were standing in
the hall ready to take advantage of
liim in some way and make their
escape. Being a watchful officer, and
quick of action, Mr. King discovered
their presence at the door, and quick
ly jerked to the door and relocked it
before the prisoners could make fur
ther effort to escape. By some means
the prisoners had broken the Jocks
off the cell door in which they were
confined, came out of the cell and
made their way into the front hall
below.
F^’ig fu-red immediately procured
help and the prisoners in
another cell. How they intended to
escape over the jailer at the outer
door is known only to themselves,
Mr. King deserves commendation for
h is quick action in the matter which
alone prevented their escane *

Alliance Resolution.
The Monroe County Alliance, at its
meeting held in the court house,
Aug. 1st 1889, passed the following; |
resolutions:
l. Be it resolved, That we most 1
earnestly request all cotton raisers in I
Monroe county, whether alliancemen j
or not, to use c-otton bagging only as
a covering for their cotton; and "that i !
the merchants and ginners of Afonroe
requested keep cotton '
county are to " j
bagging only for sale.
2. Be it further resolved, That we
will not patronize any merchant or ;
ginner who will sell jute bagging, '
-when cotton bagging can be obtain
e d; and we will use all our influence
to sustain the merchants and ginners, i
who sell and use cotton bagging to the
exclusion of jute.
3. Resolved, That the president of
each sub-Alliance, submit these reso
lutions for ratification to their respec
tive Alliances, aud that a conv be :
the Monroe Aevertiser.

Ware-ttoune Director*.
At their meeting on Thursday last
the County Alliance elected as
directors ot the Alliance ware-house
in this city the following gentlemen
to-wit; William Walker, W. B. Meek,
J. M- Collier, J. F. Walker, S. D.
Jackson, A. J. Howard, John W.
Hooten, H. O. Ponder, and T. J.
Means.
These are among the good farmers
of Monroe, and will doubtless see
that their ware-house is managed
with a view to the interest of all con
cerned.
In this connection we would call
j attention to the resolutions passed by
the Alliance and fouud elsewhere in
this paper. These are strong resolu¬
tions, breathing a spirit of determina
tion upon the part of alliancemen to
break down the jute trust, and to fos
ter the use of cotton bagging by the
farmers,

Deafut'MN Can’t lit' Cured
By local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is ° ul >’ ° u e " ay to cure deat '
ness, and that is . by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustaeian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf¬
ness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, flamed which is nothing but an in¬
condition of the mucus sur¬
faces.
We offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness, (caused L>y

Is anything given grudgingly or
given under silent protest really a
gift? How many people give the
subject of giving sufficient thought
to educate themselves up to the point
that it is a duty to give?
Wo assume that there are few
people, it any, in this enlightened
age and country who would will¬
ingly evade contributing money to
tlio support of the ministry and to
the maintenance of churches. In
other words, how many of us belong
to that class of cheerful givers, whom

GEORGIA’!* MAMMOTH CAVE.
Knuilolpli County ItivuU Kentucky tu
Nubtcrruncnn Wonder*.
Telegraph,
Benevolence, July 29,—In tho
northern part of this county, on
what is now known as tho Grier
place, is a quaint and interesting
cave of considerable size, a minaturo
mammoth cave of Kentucky.
In company with Dr. D. W. Bin
ion as chaperon behind his splendid
sorrel and in an easy riding Hart
buggy we commenced our drive for
the wonderful cavern. En route to
the obieet sought wo pass tho old
plantation of the Wards, who in an¬
te-bellum days owned thousands of
acres ot those rich lime lands and
lived in palaces in keeping with
their wealth. Then wo pass the old
Sam Grier plantation, which before
the war, was one of the richest in
the state, and the elegant mansion
built in rich pattern of bis day was
known tor its beauty and eleganco
outside ot Georgia. On this place
Mi*. Grier rtiade a fortune burning
and barrelling lime for market, and ,
in close proximinity to this antique '
lime kiln is located the miniature
mammoth cave.
THE CAVE DESTRlRED.
its opening is about tln-co loot in
diameter, through which wo descen¬
ded about twelve feet to tho stalag¬
mite floor. The first room is about
twenty toot square, with ceiling of
glistening stalactite and moist car¬
bonate of lime above. In it we
found various shells the size of a
largo oyster shell, rocks ot every
shape and various curiosities. As
we proceed further there aro largo
rooms and small ones and enclosures
so small as to necesitate crawling
through to proceed further into tho
dark interior. About one hundred
yard in its interior you pass a beau¬
tiful placid stream as clear as crys¬
tal and deep, slowly wending its
snakelike path around tho mounds
of pultaceons limestano and going,
no one knows where. Further on
we find other enclosures and largo
and small rooms, bluffs of rapid de¬
scent, winding stairways formed by
nature and well made scats as if
made by h and.
lkrraneXn STREAM.
Beyond those another stream
wends its way, but with rapid mur>
murings, clear as diamonds, with but
a little wall of limestone on each
side which seems to act as guide for
this babbling brook as it wends its
way over its pebbly bed. Wc can¬
not say how far this cavern extends
but 150 yards only carries you to
shapen new scenes, shells, now windings, new
new curiosties, which
show that this might have once been
the bed or bottom of some marine
bod} r or the habitation of marine
animals.
There is pipse to this cave an old
Indian trait, and various aro tbe
superstitions of this aboriginal tribe
concerning it, one of which is that
it was the abode of King Oelus, and
at this opening he sat guard in his
kingly splendor to suppress tho
winds if humanity pleased him or
let them fly out in rapid ruin if not
satisfied with mortal doings.
