Collou Enlivens BSusiness.
Last week was a fair business week
in our city. Each day witnessed a
good number of farmers on our streets
who had brought and put upon the
market, much cotton all of which met
ready sales. Our buyers were active,
up with the leading markets and
were ready to pay the highest market
price. The result was that consider¬
able money was put into circulation,
debts were paid and business was
lively.
they t are enableA^pay . t.i N ( jlj3p.lv 1 -’ .fTe highest
price for cotton, and they are liberal
enough to give the farmer# the ad¬
vantage thereof. Forsyth is still
maintaining her record as one of the
best cotton markets in Georgia. So
if the farmers within reach of our city
want the best prices, ready sales and
| Prompt payment for their cotton, let
them put it upon our market- The
experience of our cotton men enables
them to run the cotton business like
well oiled machinery.

Japanese Persimmon.
0ur enteprising townsman, Mr. R.
P- Brooks, has demonstrated that the
Japanese persimmon can be success
fully grown in this section. He has
seve r»l trees on his place in the su
urbs of the eity, some of which are
now in bearing. He brought in a
sample, last week, of medium size
that weighed ten ounces, while the
largest persimmons on his trees, if
weighed, would doubtless turn the
beam at more than three-fourths of a
county. Indeed it may be safely
stated that the soil and climate of our
county is adapted to almost any kind
of fruit save those strictly tropical.
The Opportunity Coning.
For some months the masonic fra¬
ternity of this city have been eonsid
eringthe question of building for their
benefit a temple in the city. The
lumber and other material for that
purpose is being placed upon the
grounds, the location for the same
having been secured.
But we do not propose to discuss
the building of the temple, but more
particularly to call the attention of
our town folks to another matter
that may be discussed, and that ought
to be considered in connection with
the building of that temple. The
^7”“““ ‘° * ‘ W °
the upper story of which
wlU be arranged for their temple and
for their specific needs, while the
lower story will be arranged to be
other purposes, Now
when we remember that Forsyth has
no public library, and consider, from
a proper standpoint, the great need
of a good public library in our town,
will it not be a wise movement upon
the part of our town people, to pro¬
cure from the masons the lower story
of their building for that purpose?
This library question lias been dis¬
cussed among our people heretofore
to some extent, but has never taken
any definite shape, because suitable
quarters for the same were not cheaply
attainable. But the opportunity is
now presented for them to obtaiu not
only suitable, but very desirable,
quarters, centrally located, and upon
, &Tni ; S' srs -pu fn ar pfr Yney
will ever have . By co - 0 perating with
the masonic fraternity in erecting
their building a splendid library
room can be procured and properly
arranged, while a ipore central and
more convenient point for the same
can not be obtained in the city. That
a good public library properly man¬
aged will be of great benefit to the
town, we believe all will admit, and
if the town will erect suitable puarters
for such a libray, the library will
very soon grow up thereiu. Hence
we put the ball in motion by suggest¬
ing that our people consider this
question on its merits, and at once
embrace the opportunity offered for
establishing a good library in our
midst.
A Free Ride
From Macon to Forsyth. Don’t fail

JOHN ELLIS & CO.
will give to any one in Monroe county
purchasing to the amount of $10.00

Our stock in every department is
complete. We make a specialty in fine
dress goods and trimmings; and we
do not hesitate to say, that we have
by far the best selection of any house
in Macon. This will give all the
ladies of Forsyth a chance to do their
shopping in Macon and get a free
ride hQme.
All our goods are marked in plain
figures. So there will be no chance to
make up the amount of railroad ticket.
Mr. D. YV . Hammond, formerly of
Forsyth, is connected with us and

pleasure in sending samples to any
one who may desire them. Don’t

Tie Forsyth Manufacturing Com¬
pany are now turning out from their
facUry beautiful cotton yarns. They
hav; a force of about thirty operatives
at work and everything in and about
the factory has a bee-hive appearance.
It is- inspiring to one who desires the
thrift of our town to pass in and
through that establishment and see
then? the promise for the future of
Fonyth. The company were fortunate
in s«curing the very best of modern
machinery for every department.
Additional machinery has been
ordired and when placed in position
anc put in operation will rquire more
forte and therefore give employment
to nore people. Employes are now
making good wages from labor there,
whr could get no employment here¬
tofore, thus demonstrating the great
benefit to our town and people from
manufacturing enterprises. And thus
wlb it be from every manufacturing
enterprise that may be^established in
our midst.
The proprietors of the cottou factory
are arranging for, and in the course
of tuirty days, will have the factory
supplied with electric lights, which
they find already to be a demand they
must supply. The manufacture in
our own midst of the cotton made on
oui surrounding farms is what many
of tis have desired to see, and it is now
an iceomjffished fact, and gives hope
of a brighter future for our town and
section, May this enterprise soon
swell to such dimensions as will de¬
mand the services of hundreds of
operatives.

I Will Pay Up this Year.
This is what we have beard a num¬
ber of our farmer friends say recently,
and it is gratifying news to us, for we
Jove to see a farmer who is out of
debt. We do not mean to intimate
that so few of our farmers are out of
debt, that we would have to take a
candle in the day time to find such an
one. By no means. On the contrary
we believe the farmers of our county,
as a class, are in a better condition
financially than they have been for
several years.
But to those who will pay up and
get even this year we would suggest
that they look back and learn by
what means and methods they got in
debt in the past, and then be sure to
avoid those means and methods in
the future; for like causes produce
like effects, and if you resort to the
same methods that brought you in
debt before, they will bring you in
debt again.
Remember that, when you go in
debt, you put your neck under the
yoke of another and that two chances
to one, that yoke will gall you before
you get rid of it.
If you have paid up or “will pay up
Y ear >” then plant yourself firmly

Success in life is the result of push
and energy. If the blood is impure
and sluggish, both body 7 and mind
lack vigor. To cleanse and vitalize
the blood and impart new life to the
sy velous r stem, nothing else has such a mar¬
effect as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Good Cropping.
Up to the first of last)week a Mon¬
roe county farmer had sold in our
market 25 bales ot cotton from a two
horse farm, who said he had not
gathered three-fourths of his crop and
had made a bountiful supply of corn,
forage, etc., for his farm for twelve
months.
We heard of another who had de¬
livered 30 bales in the market from a
two horse farm, and had several more
to gather. And still another informed
us that his wife had gathered from
her “patch” of about one acre, six¬
teen hundred pounds and had not
gathered more than two-thirds of the
crop from that patch. Still another
live, energetic farmer near the city
reports as the gross income from his
4)£ horse farm, this year, 1000 bushels
of oats, 1000 bushels of corn, and 60
bales of cotton, with the promise of
4000 pounds of pork. Besides we hear
of a number of fine crops in the
county.
This shows what Monroe county
lands will do when properly stirred
and rightly cultivated. Nevertheless
we occasionally meet with persons
who assert that farming will not pay.

Sunday morning the pulpit at the
Methodist church, in the absence of
the pastor, was occupied by Kev. T.
G. Scott. The preacher iounded bis
sermon upon the text, “It is a fear¬
ful thing to fall into tho hands of
the living God,” and gave his hear¬
ers illustrations some strong and impressive
of its truth.
Kev. A. Mulcay filled that pulpit
at night, and gave his hearers a
good sermon from fbo words, “The
fool has said in his heart, there is no
God.”
Tho .Baptist pulpit was filled at
the morning service by Dr. 1. K.
Branham. There were no services at
that church at night.
The meetings of the young men
at the Methodist church and of tho
young ladies at the Baptist church
at 3 o’clock Sunday evening, were
well attended. The good fruits of
the efforts of our young men on this
line, are beginning to crop out.
Let the older people of our town en¬
courage and help these noblo efforts
of our young folks, and untold good
will be the ultimate fruits.
Professor Gauthier, of Paris, states
that certain vital processes of tho
body develop putrefying substances
in the tissues, which, if not speedily
eliminated, produce disease. Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla effects the removal of
these substances, and thereby pre¬
serves health.

to the effect, that the payments
the beneficiaries of the law granting
allowances to disabled soldiers for
the year ending October 24th 1890,
will begin the first'of February 7 1890
and not before that time. And we

structions from the Executive De¬
partment for the benefit and infor¬
mation of those concerned:
New blanks will be prepared
during January and forwarded by

will be made as fast as the applica¬
tions can be properly examined and
recorded.
Applicents who were paid in 1888,
and again in 1889 will not be re¬
quired to furnish any proof by the
Physicians, their officers or comrades

Catarrh Can’t Be Cured
with local application, as they can

Catarrh- is a blood or constitutional

have to take internal remedies.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken inter¬
nally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucus surface. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is no quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best phy¬
sicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is com¬
posed of the best tonics known com¬
bined with the best blood purifiers,
The acting directly on the mucus surface.
perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

"Our subscription list shows that a
very large number of our subscribers
are in arrears for subscription; most
of them for one year, and some for a
longer period. Is it necessary for us
to say more than to call your atten¬
tion to this fact in order to bring
about a settlement between us? If
you are in doubt as to whether or not
you are in arrears for subscription, the
surest way to decide the matter is to
refer to your last subscription receipt,
if you have it. It not, then come to
the books; we will be glad to see you
and shake your hand. Hence when
you sell your next bale of cotton, ask
yourslf the question, “do I owe a

will make us smile; and if you will

A Fall Drcgfeiug Would Not Hurt.
Last spring our cemetery was put
in a reasonably fair condition. But
a stroll through it now will convince
any inspector that a little dressing in
the way of work would not detract
from its appearance and would give
evidence of our willingness to give it
proper care and attention. Of course
the city authorities cannot be expect¬
ed to look after and care for the pri¬
vate lots therein, a number of which
would be none the worse, if a little
work and attention were bestowed
upon them. The city cemetery is a
part of the city as well as any part of
its domain, and, if left to the ravages
of grass and weeds, will in a short
while present an unsightly appear¬
ance. It is the home of our departed
friends and should receive that care
and attention that evidence the fact
that we have not forgotten that they
ever lived.
We have the largest and most corn
complete stock of carpets ever in For

As the sun crossed the meridian, and

the 29th of October, 1860, and was 29
years old, less one month and 13 days,

Whilst, yet, young in years he inter¬

by many virtues and stained by, but, few
vices. Public spirited and philanthropic,
he was energetic developing in aiding all public en¬

his town and county. He was gifted in
a high degree with the qualifications,

But, Shannon is gone, stricken
his young man hood, just as life was
glistening with the pearls, jewels and
prizes of the future. But, passing away
is truly a part of earth. ^ It lends a death
like air to our with gay enjoyments, and
mingles for sorrow happy our cups of bliss.
It stops ever our labors, and
frustrates our choicest plans. Those,

State ami County Tax,
We are frequently asked what the
amount of the tax is for this year, and
when the tax collector will be on his
rounds again. In response to which
we now state that eight dollars and
seventy-five cents on the $1,000 worth
of property make the ameunt de¬
manded by the tax gatherer for this
year, and that the tax collector will
not make another round through tho
county to collect tax, but- will be at
the courthouse in this city most of
the time from now until his books
close in December. We make this
statement for the benefit of those tax¬
payers who may not have seen the
collector’s published notice.
