Cotton Statement.
Owing to tlie fact that the season is
passing out and the bulk of the cotton
crop lias been gathered, the amount
of cotton coming into market is grad¬
ually reducing. Nevertheless consid¬
erable cotton was brought to this city
by tiie farmers last.week and readily
changed hands, the buyers being
ready to take all that came. Up to
date during the present season For¬
syth has, as heretofore, maintained
her record as one of the best cotton
markets in Georgia. Our buyers are
experienced cotton men, command
excellent facilities, keep thoroughly
posted on the markets and are liberal
bidders; hence farmers have no
trouble in disposing of their cotton at
its market value when placed upon
the boards here.

ThnukMgtviDK Day.
Thursday was national thanks¬
giving day and,as to business, was wel
ebserved in our city. At 10 o’clock
a. m., every business house on tiie
public square, save one, was closed
and kept closed during tiie remainder
of tiie day. The quiet that pervaded
our business center was like that of
tiie holy 8abbath. A union service
was held at tiie Baptist church at 11
a. m., consisting of brief talks upon
tiie goodness of God and his manifold
blessings to men, interspersed with
prayers, and the singing of hymns
most appropriate to tiie occasion,
which was attended by a goodly num
per of citizens. ,
Prof. J. G. Jeffcoat, of Hilliard In¬
stitute, addressed the audience, set¬
ting forth the many spiritual and
temporal blessings that come to man¬
kind through the infinite goodness
and mercy of God, and stressed the
idea that for these, men ought always
to be thankful. Throughout his com¬
ments was clearly discernabla a vein
of humility end spirituality that
marks tiie true Christian. Prof. Jeff¬
coat, though a comparative stranger
among us, is rapidly establishing
himself in the affections of our people
aud as a fine educator.
Col. J. B. Williamson, one of our
promising dressed yossng. attorneys, also ad¬
the congregation in a few ap¬
propriate remarks upon the same sub¬
ject.
This was no' o !y proper and right
but was disch„%Lg a duty we, as a
people, owed to tne Giver of all
tilings, How many elegant dinners
and roast turkeys graced festal boards
in tiie homes of our city we know not,
but presume there were a number.
If there has ever beeu a time in the
history of this country, when the peo¬
ple of this government, of this state,
yea of this county should feel grateful
to God, certainly that time is now at
the approaching close of a year that
lias come to us immensely freighted,
not only with spiritual, but with un¬
interrupted temporal blessings.

DB. C LIFTOS LECTI BES.
Dr. L. B. Clifton, of Macon, began
j a series of lectures, at the courthouse
! in this city, on natural science, on
Monday night of last week, and con¬
tinued them through the week, fol
lowing the lecture each night with a
panoramic presentation of natural
sffenes and noted places in the old
world.
His insect lecture on Monday night
was most interesting indeed to an
appreciative mind, and was presented
in such manner as to create in the
minds of his hearers, even of the
younger members thereof r. hungering
for further information touching the
wonders of the insect world. After
closing that lecture the Doctor took
, his audience on a panoramic tour
through India giving them a slight
conception of the attainments of its
people, especially in architecture.
Tuesday night the lecture was a
learned treatise on physics and was
indeed a fund of information, giving
to his hearers of all ages a much bet¬
ter conception, than they 7 had hither¬
to entertained, of the workings and
results of physical laws. The premi¬
ses of this lecture were; that man can
add nothing to creation; and that
man can take nothing from creation.
In elucidating these truths the fact
was clearly brought out, that things,
which under the operation of man,
seem to have gone to destruction,
have simply undergone change, and
in a different form, still occupy space.
Closing his lecture on this topic, the
Doctor then took us, as before, on a
trip through Norway, the Land of the
Midnight Sun. On this trip we had
quite a number of picture views of
sublimely 7 grand and wonderful natu¬
ral scenery among the ice-burgs and
mountain glaziers of that ever frozen
region.
Wednesday night, the insect lec¬
ture was enlarged upon, and the
wonderful workings of insects with
which, in this country, all are famil¬
iar, were brought to the attention of
the audience, and the lesson was
, taught, that many insects, that man
regards as his enemies, are his aiders
and abettors. After the lecture an
hour was pleasantly spent in taking
a panoramic look at the marble city
of Venice, the Queen of the Adriatic,
and a number of its wonderful build¬
ings. The passing comments on these
views enabled the listener to store
away much condensed information
relative to this renowned city 7 whose
foundations are small islands and
whose streets are water canals.
Thursday night the basis of the
lecture was “how to study natural
science,” in which the lecturer
speciall y stressed the fact that the
student of science should not rely too
much upon the books of man, but
should go to the great book of nature
that ever lies open to him who is
searching for knowledge. It was
shown that it does not require an
extensive library of scientific works,
nor costly cabinets to begin investi¬
gation and research in the wonderful
field of sciece, but that the means for
a beginning are all around and about
us and within thereacli of all. The
lecture closed, we then took another
panoramic journey in Arabia, follow¬
ing in imagination the route traveled
by Moses when leading the Isrealites
from their bondage in Egy 7 pt to Ca¬
naan, as far as the rock smitten by
Moses, and out of which flowed water
to quench the thirst of the Israelites.
There we deflected our course and
continued our journey 7 through a
narrow gorge in the mountains two
thousand feet deep, finally halting
amid the ruins of Petra, the lost city.
This was literally a rock city, the
sixty thousand seats in the amphithe¬
ater of which show that at some time
in the buried past it must have beeu
an immense city, although hid in
that vast gorge from the outside
world. The views presented indicate
that well nigh every building in that
city,- some of which were splendid
specimens of architecture, were carv¬
ed in solid rock.
Friday night thelecturer discoursed
upon the habits and doings of a num¬
ber of insects which are quite com¬
mon in our own section. From per¬
sonal observation he had gathered
most of the information imparted to
his audience, which showed that the
study of the maneuvering of these
tiny 7 members of the amimal kingdom
opens up a broad field to the
searcher after knowledge. After the
lecture we took a panoromic trip for
nine hundred miles up the Nile in
Egypt, taking in, as we passed along,
views in the land of the Pharaohs.
At Alexandria, Cairo, and other noted
points we had charming views
splendid and costlv temples and edi¬
fices that adorned those grand cities
in the ages past. Likewise were the
views of the pyramids of ancient
Egypt, which gave the beholder some
idea of the energy 7 and industry of the
people who lived upon the eartli
thousands of years ago. There are no j
works of modern times that at all
compare in extent and magnificence

and also presented us with micro
scopic views of a few of the same,

ALEXANDER & SON,
Forsyth, Ga., Aug. 20th, 1889.
NTILI, ALIVE AND WELL.
Three years ago the enterprising
spirit of our townfolk was slumbering
and the croakers were proclaiming
upon our streets that Forsyth was
dead, that the farmers upon whom
she depended for her life-blood , were
ail broke, and that the channels of
business, as to her, were closing up,
and that stagnation was all that was
to be seen in the picture of her future
The Advertiser, having confidence
in the citizen's of Forsyth and the
surrounding country took issue with
all such croakers and refuted the ideal
of stagnation overtaking a people with
such brain power and such culture.
We believed that the energies of our
enterprising men could be easily
aroused and put into action; and be¬
lieving likewise that all that was
needful to bring life and business ac¬
tivity to a town favored with such
splendid facilities as industrial ours was the es¬
tablishment of new enter¬
prises, we began the urgent advocacy
of such.
This touched the nerve of thought
in the minds of our thinking men,
and taking up the thread of suggestion
they began to discuss and then to pro¬
ject *u their minds new enterprises
for Forsyth.
And in this direction what has been
accomplished during the present
year? A canning company has beeu
chartered, a plant of large capacity es¬
tablished, between eighty and a hun¬
dred thousand cans of fruit that other¬
wise would have gone to waste, have
boen stored away as food for man and
several thousand dollars gathered in
through this establishment alone and
distributed among our people. A
splendid cotton factory with three
thousand spindles, and costing many
thousand dollars and spinning daily
two thousand pounds of cotton yarn
with an increasing demand for its out
put, lias been planted in our midst,
It gives work to thirty seven employ¬
es, and has for several months and is
distributing monthly hundreds of dol¬
lars among our people. A new splen¬
did giuuery with all the modern ap¬
pliances and costing many thousand
dollars has ben built with a capacity
of fiifty bales daily and in operation
through the cotton season giving em¬
ployment to a number of hands and
scattering money in the town. By
the side of, and in connection with
this, the same company has planted
an elegant cotton seed oil mill like¬
wise costing many biast thousand dollars,
which is in full and daily turn¬
ing out in the neighborhood of a
thousand gallons of oil. Here too is
a number of hands with full employ¬
ment gathering in the money and
scattering it among the people.
Also in connection with this enter¬
prise is a guano factory in process of
construction with a large capacity
which will soon be completed and in
operation. This is certainly a good
showing for one year, and it is all the
result of arousing the enterprising
sp irit of our people.
Now shall we stop, permit this
spirit to fag, and stand still on this
line during the year 1890? Are there
not other industries that would prove
profitable if planted here, interests that of would
add to the business our
city ?•
As before suggested in these col¬
umns we are confident that a good
tannery planted here would not only
prove profitable to the projectors, but
beneficial to the people generally.
The locations for such an industry are
within our corporate limits, while the
facilities for procuring the material
needed to keep it in constant opera¬
tion and for disposing of the products
therefrom are excellent. No great
amount of capital would be needed
to place the plant and set it to work.
And moderate push and energy put
behind the small capital neccessary
to start it would make a good tannery
in Forsyth a paying investment and
a valuable acquisition to the indus¬
tries of the town.
Furthermore could not a basket,
bucket, handle and chair factory, all
in one, be made to pay as well in For¬
syth as they do and are doing at other
points not more fovorable for sucli en¬
terprises? All the material necessa¬
ry for making these articles which
are used every day and everywhere,
are in easy access, much of the same
being in our own county and now
permitted to so to waste for the want
of a market: Such industries never
fail, when rightly managed, to give
life and vigor to the business of a
town, and are strong magnets that
draw to and around them, both, capi¬
tal and enterprising population. develope
Not only this, hut they demand for the a
market and create a
smaller farm products, thereby open
up a channel of income to the people
of the surrounding country.
AVill not some of the enterprising
men of our little city inaugurate the
approaching new y*ear with the pro¬
jection of one or more of the above
named enterprises, and thus make the
year 1890 count as well in the
acquisition of new industries for For
svth as the present year has done?
When the People of a town or country
decide that they can do, and deter
mine definitely to do, then will much
be done,

Iflnwhrd in Ryrnp Mill.
Guss Cabaniss, a negro boy about
nine years old, was feeding a syrup
mill on Mr. J. F. Walker’s place a
few miles from the city on Thursday
last, and had lm hand caught in the
mill which crushed all his lingers and
thumb. The boy was examined brought to Dr. tlio
city and his hand by
W. 1\ Ponder, who decided that the
fingers and thumb wore so badly
crushed as to necessitate amputation.
So the Doctor proceeded under anti¬
septic precaution to amputate them
all at the joint connecting them with
the hand, which operation lie accom¬
plished in a most successful and skill¬
ful manner. The boy 7 is doing well.

THE MAYORALTY.
To the Citizens of Forsyth:
A few partial friends have request¬
ed me to become a candidate for
Mayor of Forsyth for the next term.
Candor forces me to say that I would
be proud co-operation to have the office, of all good if I can
have the cit¬
izens, both on the streets and in tiie
council chamber—wide-awake men,
who will not only work but encour¬
age, sustain and applaud those who
do work.
If the citizens and voters of our
little city should determine to elect
me, and do so, I promise that, in so
far as in me lies, Forsyth shall have
a live Mayor—one of progress, and
one who will earnestly strive to keep
upwitli the age; and one who will see
that your streets are kept clean sidewalks and
free from rubbish ; that tiie
are neatly graded, with shade trees
planted that the and thoroughly and prospective cultivated;
present in¬
dustrial establishments of the town
are fostered, encouraged and sus¬
tained; no money expended except
for the public good and under tlio
direction’of the council; that tiie law
as made, shall be enforced without
discrimination, fear, favor or affec¬
tion. Not only shall these things be
done, but if you shall see proper to
elect me I promise to devote my
time and capacity to the discharge of
my duty.
Your fellow-townsman,
J. R. BANKS.

izens, Messrs. Wiley Zellner, R. B.
