Tliis county is in exteut a fraction
over twenty-one miles square. It
contains 42 inhabitants to the square
mile. It is one of the best watered
sections in middle Georgia. Cours
ing through it are two rivers, several
large creeks and a number of smaller
ones, a multiplicity of small branches,
, all these flowihg from springs of the
purest water, and is bordered on the
cast by the Ocmulgee river. •
V ithin its borders is to be found
every variety of soil from the light,

Apples, peaches, pears and differ

products. Every variety of the potato
flourishes here. Good horses and
mules, and the best ot beef cattle can
be grown extensively. The finest
and most excellent garden vegetables
and melons are numbered among the
products ot this county.
On the different streams are mi
merous water powers, gome of which
are among the best iu the state and
capacitated to drive vast machinery,
Her teritory is dotted with acade
mies for tlie instruction ot children
and every section is furnished with
church facilities. In the county are
twenty four post offices making tier
mail facilities most excellent.
Four railroads traverse her territo
ry, the Central of Georgia passing
through the center of the county, on
which is located Forsyth, the county
site, the E. T. V. & Ga. passing
through the north-east border, while
the Macon & Birmingham and Atlan
ta ^Florida pass through the south
ern and south-west portion, at the
junction of which roads is located
Culloden, a thriving and prosperous
town with a cultured population.
There are several other points in the
county at which considerable busi
ness is done. Upon her surface is a
net work of public roads bringing
every section of the county within
easy access of the depots on her nu
| merous railroads.
* In Forsyth, the couirfv site, is lo
cated Monroe Female College, the
second oldest chartered female
lege in the world which haft been
flourishing for more than forty years,
and iu which able educators ary still
at work. The building is elegant,
new and modern.
Here also is situated Hilliard Insti
tute at which boys can be well edu
cated for tire duties of life. This
point is b 3 ’ rail twenty-eight miles
north-west from Macon and seventy
five south east from Atlanta, both of
which cities are in easy access,
Monroe county is happily located,
being in the heart of, and most
healthy section of the state, above
the malarial region and therefore
perfectly the free from malaria, and be
tween low lands and hill lands of
the state. The culture, refinement
and social features of Monroe’s popu
lation are not surpassed anywhere.
These are some of the advantages
joyed attaching to our county and to be en

homes within her borders. And a

:tlutiro<‘‘s Populnliou.
According to the census bulletin of
March 7th issued from the census of¬
fice, the increase in Monroe’s popula¬
tion fer the last ten years is 329. The
census of 1880 showed a population of
18,808, and the present census shows
a population in our county of 19,137.
A glane # e at this bulletin also shows
that, excepting those counties which
have large towns and cities, our
comity ranks among the strongest in
population in the state.
Another noticeable feature of this
census is that those counties having
the larger cities show a far greater
per cent- of increase in population.
This, of itself, is evidence of a tenden¬
cy of the people to leave the rural
and make their homes in the
cities. And in this is where a great
mistake is being made; a mistake
that can bnt ultimately result injuri¬
ously to the general good and pros¬
perity of the whole people. And un¬
til we cease to be an agricultural peo¬
ple such a course will continue to be
a mistake. However, this tendency
of the people in the country to go to
the cities for homes may be consider¬
ed out natural when we remember
the inadequate facilities for education
that have prevailed in the rural dis¬
tricts for a number of years. Were
the town and city folks producers
and not consumers only, tliis popula¬
tion flow into them might not be pro¬
ductive of harmful results. But, be¬
ing an agricultural people, and see
ing, if we will but view the matter
rightly, the evi^thM must inevitably
come of crowding our towns and
cities to the neglect of agriculture
and the development of the country,
there should be a strong and persis¬
tent effort to stay the flow of people
to these centers and turn the tide of
population to the rural districts.
These should be filled up with people
and furnished with such facilities as
will induce those seeking permanent
homes to plant themselves therein
and there remain. And when this is
done, then will our increase in popu¬
lation be found in the country and*
not in the cities and towns only.
Another Set Rack.
The farmers of this section have
been very much retarded in the work
of preparing for planting. Last
week opened with a good prospect of
giving them an opportunity to make
up in part what they had lost in this
particular. But Thursday morning
the rain was falling and continued
through the day till late in the after
noon when it ceased for a time. As
night came on the rain again began
to fall and during the night it fell in
torrents mingled with considerable
fine hail. For this reasou the farm
ers were again set back in their crop
planting and preparations therefor.

TO ADVERTISE OI R rOITVTY.
The management of the Southern
Inter-States Immigration Bureau,
which is an organization gotten up
under the sanction of the several state
governments, tlie plans arranged by
duly appointed delegates by the sev
eral Southern governors, have writ
ten to the publisher of this paper le
questing that specimens of agricultur¬
aland other products, woods etc. of
this county be sent t'o the heauquar
ters of the Bureau for the purpose of
'showing the resources of our county
and state. There is no cost to us ex
cept the collecting of exhibits and
paving the freight on same to
city of Raleigh, X. C. .
eoullly- at “u
will be thousands of people visiting official
the* headquarters of this
Southern Bureau: and no state, sec
tion or county should fail to berepre
seuted. We are not called upon to
spend a single dollar for the placing
and arranging of an exhibit. All this
expense is provided for already. We
only havp to collect such exhibits as
we think will attract people and mon¬
ey to our section, send it to the head¬
quarters. and they will there he ex
hibited free of cost to us. Those of
our readers who have any extra good
.specimens of agricultural or other
products, woods, six inches wide, two
feet long or larger, of any and all va
rieties; building stone in rough or
dressed shape weighing from five to
thirty pounds each; minerals of all
kinds, precious stones, Indian relics,
shells, stuffed birds or animals, or
skins of animals; varieties of wines,
brandies, dried fruits, medicinal
herbs, roots-or plants; and in fact any
thing that is produced or foftind in our
county, will confer a great favor on
the people, and aid in developing the
resources of this section, if they will
contribute such articles to this cause,
These exhibits will not only be
on exhibition at the Southern Inter¬
States Immigration headquarters, exhibition but
they will be placed on at
theYSouthern Inter-States Exposition
which will open in the city of Raleigh,
N. C., on the 1st of October, 1891, and
close on the 1st of December. Such
things as can he preserved will be
properly labelled, stating that they
are from our county,
We repeat this is an excellent way
by which'we can exhibit the products
of our soil, mines and forests, .and
with comparatively small cost to any
one. We therefore urge upon owr
people to take enough interest in the
matter to at least contribute the
means necessary to pay for collecting
the exhibits and paying the freight
on same. The cost to each individu
al will be very small. We urge upon
all public citizens the importance of
subscribing a small amount toward
the collection of articles for exhibi
tion at the Permanent South Exhibit
in the city of Raleigh, N. C. This is
a combined movement on the part of
the Southern States to secure immi
gration. Thousands of capitalists
and home-seekers will visit the head
quarters to see what each section of
the different states have on exhibition
and under no circumstances should

• Cleau Up Ueuchillj’,
We are now upon the eve of a
change of seasons. Winter is passing
out and spring is coming in to be fol¬
lowed by the hot weather of summer.
And as health is the great desidera¬
tum of all people it is important that,
as citizens we turn an eye to every¬
thing that is conducive to health.
For tills reason there should he a
general cleaning up, wherever clean¬
sing is needed throughout our city.
All rubbish and miasma producing
elements that have been allowed to
accumulate at any points in the city
during the winter months, when
frosts and freezes stay the ravages of
malaria, should be removed and such
points of accumulations should be
closely looked after in the spring be¬
fore the warm weather comes upon
us.
There is one custom among us to
which we have before alluded, and
which contributes neither to the
cleanliness nor to the sightliness of
our streets. That is the sweeping of
the trash and litter from the business
houses and leaving it on and to be
scattered over the streets. While this
may appear to be no infraction of the
laws of health yet we are unable to
calculate what evil results may grow
therefrom. This could be easily ob¬
viated by having these sweepings
boxed or barrelled and consigned to
the flames or carted to where they
might do good and not li^rru, We
have one of the healthiest towns in
Georgia and the best way to keep it
such is to keep it free from anything
likely to produce sickness. To do
this every citizen in the city should
give their attention, aid and influ¬
ence. Look out for the uncleanly
spots about the city, and let all such,
if any, be put in a cleansed condition.
EASTER SERVICE.
Sunday morning at the Methodist
church in this city, the pastor Rev.
J. C. Davidson preached an Easter
sermon based upon the text, “He is
risen.” The text was ably handled
and the sermon most appropriate.
Indeed it was pronounced by many
hearers as most excellent. The
church was appropriately decorated
for tlie Easter occasion.
At night the juvenile missionary
sotieties held sway. The service was
opened with prayer by the pastor, fol¬
lowed with songs, recitations etc. bv
the members of the societies, in har¬
mony with the occasion. The juv’e
niles acquitted themseKes well. As
workers for the missionary cause
they are laborers in a grand field,
They nor the world will ever be able
to estimate the great good likely, to
accrue from their work. These socie
ties ought to include in their ranks
every juvenile in and about our town,
They eau engage in no nobler or gran
der work. The closing act of the ser
vice was a handsome collection for
the missionary cause,
In commenting upon these two ser
vices we can not refrain from mention
ing the most excellent singing by the
choir. The singing at the morning
! service especially was charmingly
j superb.

An Easter service was also held at
Fairview. The pastor, Rev. J. B.
| Holland, preached an excellent ser
j mou suited to the here; occasion, he from the
i text, “He is not is risen as
he said.” Mr. Holland handled his

Widows’ Pensions.
Some days ago a question circular
was sent out from the Executive De¬
partment to the Ordinaries in the
state asking how many soldier’s wid¬
ows were in each county who were
covered by the widows pension act.
A published interview relative to re¬
plies to these question circulars points
the fact that the number of such wid¬
ows in tlie state may be largely in
excess of the number estimated when
this law became a reality. The re¬
plies from thirty-seven counties de¬
veloped the presence in those coun¬
ties of more than 1200 soldier widows.
Calculating upon this basis the mini-,
ber of such widows in the state is
above 4000. How many of these will
receive from the state, the $100 pen¬
sion remains to be learned. If the
whole number, then a good sum of
money will be required to meet the de¬
mand. But no matter what sum may
be demanded it is a demand that
Georgians should cheerfully meet.
This amount, though small, will be a
timely boon to many of these pooi
widows who have been struggling
single-handed against poverty for
more than a quarter of a century.

Reduce the C'ottou Acreage,
The business managers of the
southern alliance exchanges met in
Birmingham, Ala. last week, and
after eonfering together, passed reso
lution*. setting forth the fact that it
costs 8 cents per pound to produce
to reduce 1 lieir aemiure in cotton this
year one-third. We arc glad to see
the al Dance taking hold of the subject
?< f >tt r o1 U r g tl^\o» e nfrt«i°e
every sub-alliance in our county will
give this matter due weight and prop
er consideration. For we verily be
heve that the area heretofore devoted
to cotton m Monroe county ean.be
reduced one-third with almost no re
duction in the quantity of cotton,
This result might not perhaps obtain
tlie first year of the reduction, but we
are sanguine of such results in three
j,eais time. And tl■tins he me it
tollows as of course that at least one
fourth of the cost of .product,on will
be saved to the producer. Let the al
hancemen of Monroe try the expert
nient. We believe by so doing they
will lose nothing and gain much.
Special Term.
His Honor, Judge J. S, Boynton
was in the city Wednesday evening
and during his stay held a special
term of the Superior court. The pro¬
ceedings of the court were the grant¬
ing of a charter to the Monroe Fe
male*College Boarding Department
Co. This company is composed of a
number of our best citizens, and the
authority for so doing obtained, they
will proceed at once with the preli¬
minaries for the erection of a splend¬
id boarding department to Monroe
Female College, the only appendage
now needed to place that institution
in tlie front rank of the best colleges
in the south.
In its construction no pains will be
spared to conform the boarding de¬
partment to every demand of this
and progressive age. Every convenience
appliance looking to the comfort
and health of inmates, known to mod¬
ern school-home building will be ad¬
ded, so that pupils who mav domicile
there will feel really at home, and
that those in whose pro tern charge
they may be, care for their physical
comfort as well as their intellectual
develppement. This is another and
the climaxing step towards the per¬
fect equipment of our college, the al¬
ma mater of many grand and noble
women.

Don’t Eill l’p the Water DrajiiM.
Every citizen knows, or ought to
know, that good drainage is necessary
in a city. Otherwise, during a super¬
abundant rainfall damage is likely to
accrue to the streets and sidewalks
or in some other way. •
We are aware that the city author¬
ities are alive to tills particular inter¬
ests, as they are to other interests of
the city; but we refer to it from the
fact that oftimes, perhaps through in
advertance, the watty drains in differ¬
ent parts of the city are clogged and
caused to overflow by throwing Utter
and trash into them. Such matter
should not be placed in water drains
nor where it is likely to be washed
into them. These drains were made
to carry off the surplus water that
| falls in the city, and not all kinds of
rub bish and trash gathered from the

D EAT II.
At his home near High balls in this
county, Mr. T. R. White departed
this life on Sunday night, the 22nd
instant. He was stricken with pa
ralysis after which lie lived but a
i short time. He leaves five sons and
other relatives to mourn his death.
The deceased was about fifty-five
i years of age and was one of our pros-
1 perous, well-to-do farmers. He was
j one of that noble band who were true
and faithful to duty as soldiers, in the
i stormy days of the late war.

riH't UKEATIIST ATT It ACT i ON
In the line of dry goods is to he
found at NY. J. & G. J. Julian’s, Ma¬
con, Ga. From personal inspection
we can safely state that never in the
history of Macon have the ladies h: d
such an opportunity to select D y
Goods from such a magnificent sto *k
as those gentlemen are now offering.
Their three floors are each groaning
under the weight of most attractive
goods. Buying, as they do, in such
large quantities enables them to sell
their goods at extremely low figures.
Whether a medium cotton dress or
Julians a superb, imported robe is wanted,
is the place to buy it. Every
customer will receive a cordial wel¬
come and be served by most compe¬
tent salesmen.
Their dress making department is
presided over by experts and the style
and finish of their work is simply un
surpassihle. They also greatly aid
purchasers of dress goods in making
selections.
The Messrs. Julian will deduct from
all bills of $20.00 the amount paid for
railroad ticket provided the distance
is not over sixty miles from Macon.
Customers going by rail will bear this
in miqd and not forget to ask for their
railroad fare after making their pur
cl iuses

Col. I. W. Avery’s Retiinrknble Nlate
nicnt.
This gentleman had been treated for
years by eminent specialists, and the Brown
Sequard remedy was tried. lie states he
had spent upwards of seven thousand dol¬
lars with the most eminent physicians, and
otherwise, but without the least benefit.
He bade his old comrades in arms and ef
fectionate farewell more than a year ago,
and yet, here is what he writes under a
fresh date. Could anything be more won¬
derful ?
Gentlkmkn :—I was in a bad fix. I
was bedridden. Kidneys disordered, di¬
gestion torpid, arm helpless with rheuma¬
tism and blood poision (theeffet of a wound
received during the war) and full of that
odious catarrh. The doctors said I yvouk!
not live and quit giving me medicine, as it
did tio good I haY'e kidneys since used nothing but di¬
Germetuer. My palsied are well, my
gestion good, removed my and arm is well, my
catarrh my general health is
excellent. I. W. AYEIiY.
Colonel Avery was for several years ed¬
itor of the Atlanta Constitution, and his
vigorous and versatile editorials ga%-e that
sheet a vivacity which won for him an en¬
during reputation he as a first-class journalist.
For many years was ex-Governor and
Senator Colquitt’s secretary, later, had
charge of the U. S. treasury department,
and is to-day a proud, living monument to
the virtues of that great healing and life
giving elixir, Dr. King s Royal Germetuer.
Do not class it with other proprietary *
remedies. . It is so far beyond all of them
i n its beautiful proportions and accurate
an alysis of all that contitutes a real germ
destroyer and a health giving compound,
that all other so-called remedies for the
diseases which it will cure must take a
back seat to give the highway to this great
and wonderful remedy for human health
and happiness. Price's 1.00 per bottle
