into the growing of peaches. Now is
tlie time for planting fruit trees, and
we hope our people generally will
look more after this interest than
hitherto, For the time is at hand
when the peach crop in the vicinity
of Forsyth, can be made a valuable
crop. Ihe facilities for canning all
the good peaches obtainable are an
established fact with us. Hence we

proper time the sweet notes of the
wedding march floated out upon the
air, to which the ushers marched in
unison up each aisle to their proper
place in front of the chancel, followed
by the attendants marching in suc¬
cession. Following these were the
bride and groom, the lattef escorted
by Mr. Lee White, of Bartlesville, the
former by her sister, Miss Maud
Hammoml, who, meeting, took their
position flanked by the attendants,
when Rev. J. B. Holland, of The
Rook, arose and in an impressive
manner, repeated the beautiful cere¬
mony, invoking the blasssingof God
upon that union of hearts.
The bridal couple and attendants
then marched out in reverse order and
proceeded to the home of the bride,
where an elegant dinner awaited
them After spending an hour in the
festivities, the bridal party took the
7:4u train for Bartlesville, the home
of the groom where a splendid even¬
ing reception was their welcome.

Cotton Kccfiptu sit Forsyth*
The bulk of the cotton crop for the
present year has been marketed.
The price lias averaged above the
price which has ruled for several
past seasons.
During this season, up to date, there
has been received at this point 9940
bales.
Up to’the first of the present month
7056 bales had been shipped from this
point, showing a deficit from the
amount shipped to same date last
j-ear of 188 bales.
There are remaining in the ware¬
houses here upwards of one thousand
bales. This amount, we presume, is
still in the hands of farmers who are
able to hold it and sell at their option.
Couple this fact with the further
fact that there are in the bins and
barns of the farmers of our county
more corn, fodder, hay, peas, meat,
etc., than have been for several years
at this particular season, and the con¬
clusion is that the farmers of Monroe
are in a better condition for future
farming operations than they have
been for some years past. This more
favorable condition has grown out of
the fact that many r of our farmers
have to some extent changed their
method of farming. And the greater
the change in this direction grows,
the better will become the financial
condition of our people.

A MERRY CHRISTMAN TO ALL.
With this issue of the Advertiser
goes out our best wishes for a happy
Christmas to one and ail. Time has
brought us again to the threshold of
that day that should bring joy and
gladness to all hearts.
With to-day’ the working daj-s of
1889 glide behind the bars of the past
and give place to the joyous season of
rest. With grateful and glad hearts,
all should welcome this annually re¬
curring season for celebrating the
nativity of Christ. It typifies the
oncoming of that day ot eternal rest
when the labors and turmoils of earth
will be laid aside forever, and when
the sunshine, of never-ceasing joys
will irradiate the hearts of those who
“walk bj- faith” through this world
with their eyes steadily fixed upon
the Savior’s cross. Standing upon
the threshold of this glad day, it will
be well for us to recount the labors of
the year and learn whether or not we
have progressed or retrograted ;
whether or not we have properly
improved and rightly appropriated
the opportunities and priviiges that
have come within our reach ; whether
we have reached higher heights in
morals and intellectual culture;
whether we have added to, or taken
from our capacity for usefulness and
doing good in the world; whether or
not our year’s record is dotted thickly
with deeds of love and charity, and
whether or not we are three hundred
and sixty five days nearer Heaven
than we were one year ago to-day.
If we have, then, to-morrow when
we enter upon the festivities of Christ¬
mas we will be the better prepared to
share those festivities with our
friends and neighbors. Yes, to-mor¬
row, those of us whose festal hoards
may be crowned with good things
from the store house of God’s bounty,
should reflect that there may be those
in reach of us whose hearts might be
gladdened and homes brightened, for
the time at least, by our sharing with
them. On this gleesome occasien we
should remember that “the poor” we
have with us and that deeds of kind¬
ness touch, in their hearts, a tender
chord, and make them feel that all
the world is not heartless and friend¬
less.
Santa Claus’ world-long train is
unloading to-day, and to-morrow’s
rising sun will witness the distribu¬
tion of its freights iii millions of
homes, gladdening the hearts of the
little ones on whom the shadows of
care have never fallen. In unison
with these little innocents, let’s all
lay aside the busy cares of life, and
mounting upon the Christmas tide,
float onward with gleesome spirits
amid the innocent pleasures of this
joyous, gladsome,restful occasion..
A merry Christmas to one and all.
