The gardens in and about the city
are flourishing and vegetable eaters
are happy.
.Judge \Y. T. Lawson has purchased
the Bean home in the city and is
renovating and repairing the same.
The seasonable rains of last week
in this section put new life into vege¬

Mr. W. H. Ashworth hgs purchased

remove and rebuild it near Railrrod

We hear more or less bragging of
fine crops of spring chickens, (frying

them in the market nor hear them
chirping on the streets.

B as it is meeting with

a-the efforts for it progress the pros

another effort by the ladies of the
memorial association to secure head
! boards for the craves of the confed
erate dead, ought it not to secure
a general endorsement throughout
the county? The graves of our loved
ones, who were soldiers and are
buried far away from u=, are eared
for bv loving hands, and orurhr not
wi- to eare for the graves of the con

Let every one give the barbecue a

Will some one report how many
negro do good boys, that are large enough to

weight to the country in years to
come? Idleness is the devil’s work-

A little repairing on the fencing
around the Methodist church lot just
now would not be amiss. A part of
the fencing is reaching a dilapidated
condition on account of which the
pickets are liable to be, and indeed
are being, taken otf and destroyed.
In a few weeks the district meeting
will convene here and a dilapidated
fence will not make a presentable
! appearance.
KiMcd by the Yraiu.
Friday, Mr. I). IT. Phinazee, who
resides a few miles in the country,
was in the city during the day and
left ill the afternoon afoot somewhat
intoxicated. He was walking up the
railroad track in the cut northwest
of when th'eyity just beyond the city limits,
a south bound freight train
came rushing along and knocked
j ate him death. off the track He had producing been immedi¬ from
the city perhaps gone
twenty minutes
when news came back to his friends
j that he was dead. The body was
; removed to the court house and the
i bodily injuries developed by an in¬
quest investigation was a horrible
gash upon the light side of the face
and the breaking of the breast bones
and collar bones.
Whether or not Mr. Phinazee was
too intoxicated to be cognizant of
danger we know not, but the circum¬
stances the fact attaching to his death point
that somebody had sold him
a bountiful supply of intoxicants.
This is another of the sad fruits
of liquor dealing. The deceased was
a hard working farmer and leaves a
wife and children to mourn his death.
The sympathies of the community
are with the bereaved.
Pn«h Up the JLsbrary.
Never in its history has Forsyth
had a better opportunity to lay 'the
corner stone of a splendid public
library than she has now. A splen¬
did room, most conveniently located,
is within easy reach. The expense
ol fitting up this room, if shared by
all the citizens of the town and its
suburbs, would be merely nominal.
And if once fitted up for that purpose
tlie filling of its shelves with good
books would be a natural sequence.
Nothing else, not even our schools,
will ever cultivate in all classes of
our people such a taste for reading
valuable books and such a thirst for
knowledge obtainable through this
channel as a good public library. No
other institution will make the ex
pense of good literature so small to
the readers thereof as such a library
in our midst. Through a library a
dozen persons might cull knowledge
and valuable information from the
obtaining same literary work, the expense of
which outside the library
might be too burdensome for any one
of the dozen to bear, singly and alone.
In this way such a library would be¬
come, not only benefit an intellectual, but a
pecuniary to the entire com¬
munity.
Furthermore, there is reason to be¬
lieve that we can inaugurate no en¬
terprise that will be more productive
of beneficial resuits to our children
as they gradually develop into man¬
hood and womanhood. Force of
habit and social relation would soon
train them to frequent this fountain
of knowledge and beget in them a
thirst for its waters.
Is there a citizeu in Forsyth who
will say that a good public library
would not be a valuable acquisition To
the town? If so, let him speak out.
If not, then let us have‘a genuine
citizeus’ meeting, talk the matter
over, discuss collaterals, harmonize
our have opinions, unite our efforts and
the library. Public spirited
men and women, well wishers for
the public good, if you are in the
town (and we are sure you are) speak
out.

Wrecked by Lightning.
On Tuesday evening of last week
an unusual freak of lightning oc¬
curred in the suburbs of this city.
During which the passage of a small cloud
becamfi fully charged with
electricity, a bolt of the same entered
the Western Union telegraph wires
and continued along them for about
one thousand yards destroying twen¬
ty-one telegraph posts. Every post,
save four which were split open, were
literally shivered into splinters and
broken into two pieces, At one
point in its passage along the wires
the electricity jumped over thirty feet
to a good size, pine tree and streaked
the bark of it from top to bottom, and
at another point it jumped about the
same distance to an oak tree two feet
or more in diameter,splitting the tree
through the center and loosing the
bark more than half round it. We
were sitting at the time under an
awning upon the sidewalk, and wit¬
nessing the flash of lightning which
seemed to be not more than a hun¬
dred feet distant from our point of
observation, our opinion is that the
charge of electricity entered the
wires in the hart of the city and
passed over them for five hundred
yards before doing damage to a post.

The decorations of the stage evi
deuced the skill and taste of the ;
young ladies in making things at¬

was followed by refreshments in the
form of excellent cream, cake, etc.
Taking it all in all, the evening
went pleasantly by to all present,
and the result to the exchequer of the
W. F. K’s. was quite satisfactory.

I.ooUmg After the Mortgage*.
The census bureau is now, through
its agents, getting up a tabulated
statement of the mortgages shown by
the records of the various counties of
the United States lor the period of
the last ten years.
Mr. Thaxton, of Butts, is now
in the city as an accredited agent of
the government preparing the report
for this county from its mortgage
record. The report, when completed,
will, no doubt, be anything else than
indicative of prosperity and thrift
among the agricultural classes.
It would, no doubt, astonish the
most observant citizen of our county
to know the sum total of mortgages
shown by the county’s records, and
especially to know how many acres
of land in the county are tied up in
the mortgage clutch.
We trust that this statistical report
of ttie mortgage business will prove
to be an eye opener to the people, and
especially the farming classes, and
stimulate them to greater efforts if
possible to ascertain the cause of these
mortgages and to put themselves in a
position to live out of the shadow of
a mortgage.
