Mu. Editor Your remarks about
cleaning me timely and to the point.
It ought to he dune, and kept done,
all the time. Decency, comfort,
health, and the fair name of Forsyth
demands it.
But 1113' purpose in this communh
eat ion is to call special attention to the
very best deodorizer and disinfectant,
that costs nothing, is amply* ahun
dant for all demands, and always at
hand. It is dry dirt.
It is a very strange fact that most
people think that a human dead
nndy is the only offensive thing that
ought to bo covered up with dirt.
A chicken dies, and it is thrown
out upon the side walk to force tho
unfortunate passer, or those living
near, to hold th r no: A cat dies
ufrfr<Tt A'Trg r7t*r r„hr t iH**
unbiiried and to offend
the same foul purpose. A dog, or a
cow, or a horse dies and is allowed
to lie until putrefaction sets in, and
llum it is dragged through the streets
to perfume the town for hours with
the decaying matter raked off its
body ns it. moves over the ground.
It reaches its destination on the
common or some old field in tho
outskirts of the town, where it is left
exposed to sun and air, to sicken for
days the dwellers around, with its
horrid stench. Wlnit is the remedy?
Simple enough. A good hoe or
spade, a hole of proper size dug in
the earth, tho body thrown into it,
and a tew spades lull of dirt to cover
it well, and there is no slink.
, , One other matter that is a constant
3aily nuisance, ought to bo dealt
j Avith in the same manner. Ou r
garden com inodes. How? Once or
twice a week have a trench dug just
ui the rear, tho excrement under tho
seats raked into it, and well covered.
Besides, a box of dry dirt should be
kept inside and used by everyone
who goes there. A cat teaches us
this lesson, and no doubt would cov
or its own dead body out of -sight, if
it could but use its paws.
Those hints carried out, we would
have a clean town, a decent town,
and one that wo could walk through
without having to hold our noses.

had been in Macon a few days and
retired Saturday night apparently as
well as usual. The verdict of the
coroner’s jury was that lie died of
apoplexy. His remains were brought

Head aud lift'd,
We call the attention of our town
citizens to a communication in this
paper relative to the cleanliness of the
city. The writer of that article knows
whereof he speaks and we will do
well to heed his suggestions. The
facts are two patent for us to deny the
fact that as citizens of a city we have
permitted ourselves to become too
indifferent on this line. Nothing
tends more to promote the health of
a city than cleanliness, and witli lit¬
tle effort we can have this in Forsyth.

The Forsyth Canning Company is
now engaged in the labeling and cas¬
ing for market the more than eighty
thousand cans of fruit which they
have on hand as the result of their
recent canning operations.
Their mode of labeling is quite
simple and the work can be done
rapidly 7 . The labels used are neat
and appropriate and when labeled the
cans have an attractive appearance.
But the best result of the work is that
the fruit is most excellent and will
create a demand wherever placed
upon the market.
We trust the operations of this
company next season will expand to
still greater dimensions.

We have yet to find a citizen of
Monroe county who does not sanction
the idea that Forsyth ought to have a
good taunery in or near her limits.
Every citizen with whom we have
eonversed on the subject expressed
the opinion that such au enterprise
was not only one of the needs of our
community but could be made a
! source of profit to our town and
county.
Now every enterprise of whatever
kind to attain consummation must
have a head or leader to dictate the
steps necessary to lead to such eon- I
summation. No enterprise, however
prolitable it may promise to be, ever
builds up itself. It must have a start

in this matter. This
will require no large out-lay of cash I

I)»e« it Muit Y«u.
We have ever preached the doctrine
'• patronizing and sustaining home
enterprise and home institutions of
whatever kind when legitimately
conducted, and we endeavor to prac
tice what we preach. We stubbornly
resist and persistency refuse to catch
at eVe ry catch-penny inducement
thrown at us to induce us to withdraw
our patronage from home-folks and
home enterprises.
We plant ourselves upon this line
and adhere to this policy from an
honest desire to promote home inter¬
est.
If our labor and our money is to be
expended through business channels
in building interests, let it be done
for home interests and through them
° th * r interests - Entertaining this
faith we have somewhat to say to
those who preach this doctrine, but
permit themselves to be drawn iuto
a different practice. The home paper
. expected, , . required, and almost
is is is
commanded by business men to labor
incessantly, through spring and sum¬
mer, fall and winter, to foster and
promote every interest, individual
and general of the town and commu¬
nity in which it lives. This is legiti¬
mate. This is right, and is a task
the newspaper performs without mur¬
muring or complaining.
But as the body can not live with
out food, so the newspaper cannot
live without nourishment, and if a
stranger is permitted to come along
and pick up, not only the bread but
even the crumbs thrown from the
tables of its home business men,
whence is to come its nourishment ?
The Advertiser has some expe¬
rience in the matters above refered to.
And right here we ask our own
business men a few plain questions
from a plain business stand point.
Are you pulling for your own town,
and therefore for your own interest
when you take your job work right
from under the eyes of your home
printers and send it abroad, simply
upon the promise of a stranger that
he will do itfor you a nickle cheaper ?
Is to do this working for your own
town when your own home printer,
at whose door you live, guarantees
to meet in prices, any foreign
printer on the same level who does
honest work? Do you think it is
right to get foreign prices for third or
fourth rate work and material and
then demand that your home printer
shall give you first class work on first
class material at the same figures?
Is it right for our business men,
whose interests the Advertiser
advocates and for whose interests it
labors and is willing to labor, to de¬
mand that we shall give them the
same class of work at prices below
regular city rates? In Forsyth last
week work was demanded of the
home printer at foreign prices, and
when he proposed to duplicate the
prices and material, his proposition
was refused unless he would agree td!
furnish better material. If you will!
not have the inferior material from
your home printer, then, tell thd
stranger from abroad soliciting your
work that you do not want it frorr. 5

tiou for some enterprise that pro¬
motes both general and individual
interest?
We could not consider it fostering
the mercantile interest of Forsyth
were we to walk into your business
house and demand that you sell us a
two dollar shoe, a two dollar liat, or
two dollar cassimere at $1-50, because
some stranger from abroad showed
us shoes, hat and cassimere appa¬
rently like yours at those figures.
Nor would we consider it such to
send two dollars abroad for a hat
that we could get from home mer¬
chants at the same figures. Would
you ?
Again when you send y*our money
away from home for job work at
stranger’s prices, and get in return
work and material much inferior to
your expectation, does it suit you?
Patronize home enterprise and get
honest prices, and thereby build up
your own town and your interest.
We will duplicate any work, in price
and material, offered by any foreign
solicitor of any printing establish¬
ment in the United States.
Election! Notice.
It is hereby ordered by Mayor and
Council of Forsyth, Ga., that an elec¬

Protracted Services.
The religious services conducted by
Rev. M. B. Williams, at the Metho¬
dist church were continued through
last week up to Saturday morning.
The rain fall prevented services at
any of the churches Sunday. These
services seemed to crow in interest
daily and an increasing religious iu
apparent throughout the com¬
munity. While Mr. Williams has
been laboring with t,s twice each day
except Saturday yet his energies do
not not fac t.i te , and anti his his zeal zeal fop for tho the niaL.riiA upbuild
ing of the Master’s kingdom seems to
grow. His nightly sermons and
morning lectures are filled with
thought, are clear aud pointed, and
his earnest appeals to the unsaved to
turn from the natha of sin into a
higher and holier life are calculated
to strongly impress a reasoning,
thinking people. Mr. Williams is an
truest, zealous, faithful worker for
the cause in which he is engaged, and
we hope his labors in our midst will
be productive of much good. It is
Proposed to continue these services
through this week. Let every body
attend, and take an interest and a
part in these services.

THE WATCH PRESENTED.
Last winter a suggestion was made
to present Col. J. T. Crowder a watch
as a testimonial of the maimed sol
dier's appreciation of his services in
the legislature as the father of the
amended pension act, by each bene
ficiary of that act contributing the
small amount of one dime. As he
was in war, so is Col. Crowder in
peace ever ready to work for the com¬
fort of the maimed Confederate sol¬
diers.
Thursday that scheme was consum¬
mated in the Hall of the House of
Representatives at the close of the
session. In carrying out the original
suggestion au elegant golci watch had
been procured with the maimed sol¬
dier fund. Hon. R. W. Patterson, of
Bibb, had been selected by the vete
rans to present the watch which he
did in a mo3t appropriate presentation
speech. In accepting this testimo
nial of the kind regards of his old
comrades in arms, Col. Crowder said:
col. chowder’s speech.
Col. Crowder, who had been seated
near by, was evidently greatly moved
at the high praise which fell from
such handsome eloquent lips. In accepting the
testimonial he was some
what embarassed and spoke at first
in low tones which could scarcely be
heard, but the members all of whom
hold him in high esteem moved near
er so as not to miss what the old vete
eran Col was saying.
Crowder said.
“Comrades of a Memorable Strug
gle: Your blood has crimsoned re
nowned fields and your glory will
illuminate the distant future where
patriotism and valor are prized.
“Ours is known as the lost cause,
but my countrymen, our cause is not
wholly lost, for future generations
will catch from your example the In¬
spirations of Spartans and dare to do
and die in defence of home, country
and freedom.
“Your cause is not wholly lost, for
thoughtful immortal statesmen deeds and as they heroic read of
your strug¬
gles will pause long ere allowing in¬
justice done a weak but determined
and brave people.
“Y'ou, Georgians, were among the
first to enter the fray and nobly did
your duty on every battlefield. The
bones of Georgians lie mingled with
the'dust of every state where fighting
was done. From Sharpsburg grand to New
Orleans you illustrated our old
state by your valor and acheived a
glory that will last throughout all
coming time. How sad to think of
the noble dead we left on the bloody
fields. Let us strew flowers on their
hallowed graves, while we drop the
silent tear to their sacred memories.
“But there are some yet living, bat¬
tle-scarred and maimed, whom we
love to honor and will ever protect
and defend.
“I am proud that Georgia, though
late, is willing to share her bounty
with the crippled and disabled sol¬
diers who went forth to battle at her
bidding. All praise to the people
who honor and respect the old sol¬
diers.
kindly “You are pleased author to remember bill me
as the of a doing
in part to these brave men.
While I feel proud of being the father
of a measure that will he of some ser¬
vice to these unfortunate comrades,
m y joy was indeed complete when a

and in my will direct it safely kept

As the demands of our educational
interest are pressing, we commend to
the consideration of the people of our
county, without comment, the follow¬
ing letter which speaks for itself:
Macon, Aug. 12th, 1887.
J. It. Banks, Esq., Forsyth.
My Dear Sir:— Your letter has
litterally chased me back and forth
for ten days. My absence at Salt
Springs, Atlanta and Nashville caus¬
ed the confusion of my mail and the
delay in receiving your letter.
Our school system was adopted in
1872, and is now a well rooted insti¬
tution. The schools are who popular undertook with
all classes, and a man
to abolish them would stand about as
much chance of success as he would
in an effort to dispense with the Su¬
perior court. authorities
The county gave us
last year *35,000.00, our poll tax was
about *2,500, and our quota of the
state fund over $6,000, making a total
fund of about $44,000.00.
For next year appropriation begining October 1st,
the county is again
*35,000.00. Our taxable values amount
to about 14 millions, so that the rate
of tax is 2>2 mills or 2-5 cents on the
*100.
Ours is a county system, suported
by county taxation, the city being
only a district of the county—rather
several districts. The cost per pupil
per month with us is about *1.30 esti¬
mating it on average daily attendance
and aggregate salaries of teachers or
cost of instruction. We teach nine
months.
Of the school population we enroll
about 60 per cent, of the white, and
40 per cent, of the colored; though of
the 40 per cent, white not enrolled,
I belive 90 per cent, are those over 15,
all of whom have been at school and
left to go into business or to go to
work of some kind.
It is safe to say not more than 70
per cent, of the school population will
at any one time be in school includ¬
ing those in private schools.
If there are any other points upon
which you want information 1 will
cheerfully furnish it.
Y'ours truly,
B. M. Zettler.

The history of immigration in this
country from 1820 to 1888, as sot
forth in a recent publication of the
federal bureau of statistics, is very
interesting. sond
Ireland was the country to
us immigrants in considerable num¬
bers, and from 1820 to 1854 the Irish
kept lead in the list. During the
period ot Daniel O’Connell’s agita¬
tion Irish immigration increased
rapidly. In 1834 there number was an for in¬
crease from 6,000, the
the provious year, to 25,000. In
1842 51,000 Irish came, but the
hoavest influx of thorn was during
the dreadful years of famine in their
own land. In 1847 there came 105,
000, 112,000 in 1848 160,000 in 1849,
167,000 in 1850 and in 1851 221,000
the high water mark of Irish immi¬
gration.
Up to 1832 wo had never received
more than 2,000 Germans in any ono
yrnar, hut that year 10,000 came.
This was about the average number
until 1839, when the number reach¬
ed 21,000. It continued to increase
rapidly until it reached 75,000 in
1851. The next year it foil back to
45,000 hut in 1855 wont up 215,000.
The great rush of Germans to this
country began in 1846, and was
largely due to the revolutionary
agitation in Europe at that time.
Our greatest year for German arri¬
vals was 1881, when wo recieved
?49^Z2 first r J. ; Scandanavian j884»tbcr©s»me immigra- 232,269.
io
ro i that is noticeable began in
18*3 when 1,748 came. Tho aver¬
age number was about 2.000 until
1866 when it doubled. Then it grew
every year until 1882 when 87,610
Swedes Norwegians came to us.
Last year we recieved 62,000.
The California gold fever attract¬
ed the first Chinese to this country.
They came with a rush in 1854, tho
Chinese immigration that year being
13,100. Then there was a great fall¬
ing off in Chinese immigration, not
over 7,000 coming in any 3-oar until
1882, when our first anti-Chinese law
was enacted. That 3-ear 35,614 Chi¬
nese came in. Tho new law was so
effective that only 381 were admitted
the next yrnar.
Italian immigration did not begin
until after the war. It camo slowly
at first hat last year 42,724 of thorn
arrived.
The total number ot foreigners
who have come to the United States
since 1820 is 10,465,476. Some of
these came as tourists, but it is esti¬
mated that at least 10,000,000 of them
came to find homes in the land of
the free. The decade which has
brought us most immigrants was
that from 1870 to 1880 when wo re
cieved 5.944,000. Tho present de¬
cade, in spite of our laws restricting
immigration, will probably bring a
still larger number. The attractions
of this county do not weaken in the
estimation of the European masses.
The laws we have to restrict immi¬
gration appear to have had very lit¬
tle practical effect except so far as
they relate to the Chinese. .
