Tuesday morning last, in accord
with previously published
order, the polls were opened at 8

local law providing for the same,

lion to the scheme and hence the
advocates thereof realized that they
had “to work tor a two-thirds vote of
the qualified voters within the city
Ihnits as no less vote could carry the
scheme. Hence they entered upon
tbe "f i K promptly and continued
actively . looking after the voiers
through the day until 0 o’clock p. m.,
W heti the polls closed- It was not
net essary for the opponents of the
movemeut to cast their ballots as
every vote n<|t put in the box counted
against the public schools. There

by notice of protest served.
^ bde 'Y e entertain a due regard
lor . the opinion and views ot those
who oppose the movement, yet from
our standpoint we also regard the
result as a good step lor our town.
Schools established and' put in
operation upon the plan mapped out
in the law authorizing them, we
indeed regard as one of the great
needs of the community. Theeduea
tional board elected at the same time,
and upon whom devolves the great;
responsibility of putting the wheels
of this educational system in motion,
consists cl Col. T. B. Cabaniss, Col.
O. if. B. Blood worth, Dr. B. I),
Smith, Mr. A. W . Bramblett and Mr.
C. H. Sharp. These are conservative,
prudent and good citizens who have
at heart the interest of the town and
its people, and we feel assured that
each and every detail necessary to
the inauguration of public schools in
our community will be by them
carefully weighed and veil consul
ered in its direct and collateral
^ e rnR n ^j'
1 he educational • is . a very important
and a leading interest in our town
and one that should be fostered and
nurtered in the best manner possible,
l he tree school system in every town
and city wherein it has been properly
nurtured has proven successful and
has received the hearty endorsment
of the people. And we see no reason
why it should not do so in our com
inanity. We are confident that there
is as much energy, tact aiuf business
management in the people of Forsyth
as in those of any town in Georgia,
and this energy and tact can be ap
pned to our educational interest as
well as to any other interest. And
we believe all that is necessary to
make the public school system m our
town a perfect success is harmony
and unity of effort. If, after two
years thorough test, it proves not to
be abolishment satisfactory, the remedy for it3
is provided for. Let the
system go into operation and be tried,
When reduced to the last analysis,
the great secret underlying the sue
cess of any and all schools is the
nurturing of educational aspirations
in teachers, patrons and punils. The
want of this in either class can but be
a drawback.

Worthy of Imitation.
Thursday evening while on our
streets we were impressed with the
act of a farmer that deserves to be
imitated. It carried us back in mem¬
ory to the prosperous days of this
county when farmers’wagons always
went to market loaded with produce
to sell and returned empty, and the
farmer returned with the proceeds of
the produce in his pocket.
The act was that of Mr. B. F. Hill
farming about two and half miles
from the city, who came into market
with his two wagons loaded with field
pfcas which are now selling in the
market at two dollars per bushel,
Mr. ITill is ond'-of the few farmers who
supplies has persisted in producing his food
on his farm. He buys nei
ther bread, meat, nor forage and al
xvays lias plenty housed from his
farm. Nor does the money demands
of others upon him control his cotton
of which lie produces his share
in addition to his other products,
While Mr. Hill does not farm exten
sively, he farms successfully, and this
comes of the fact that he farms on
the right line, as evidenced by the
fact that he finds time to give atten
tion to other crops than cotton. His
delivering forty or fifty bushels of
peas in the market at this season of
the year, shows that he has a right
conception of farming and farm man
agement. ‘ YVe
do not mention this fact to en
courage everv farmer to produce a
superabundance of neas. But if
every farmer in the county would
follow Mr. Hill’s example and bring
some food products to town to sell
corn would not, as now, sail for $1 25
per bushel, nor peas $2.00: nor would
h aV be hauled from town beTng to purchased th#*
in the county after
at f 1.25 per iiundred; and the cotton
crop could remain under shelter on
the farm free from attachment or lew
by sheriff or constable, or be* stored
in the warehouse to remain at the will
of the producer. What a glorious
county ours would be, were this the
rule and not the exception * and we
are sanguine in our opinion, that our
farmers can make it so. Some farm
that ers in the county be done, are and demonstrating
it can when we hope the
day is not distant all of them
will fall into line.

TI 1 E 101 * 1 Y ALLIANCE.
The Monroe County Farmers Alii
ance had its first lOiatiug meeting
last Saturday with Pleasant lirove
Alliance near the home of Rev. T. G.
Scott which is one of the most lovely
spots in this county.
There was a good attendance ot
delegates from the various sub-Alli
ances in the county, and also a large
number of citizens from thesurround
ing country. The Alliance held its
regular session for business, while
the outsiders passed the time pleas
antly in a social way in the beautiful
grove surrounding Pleasant Grove
Academy. Tliere were some speak
ing men present and some excellent
talks were had touching the policy
and lines of action necessary to be
persued in order to foster the agricul
tural interest of this country which is
tlie basis upon which the prosperity
of all other business must rest. It
is an incontrovertible fact that this
country and its people of all classes
and professions must rise to higher
its farming interest goes up the hill
of success or goes down the hill of
failure. We may proclaim, through
booms and outward bluster, prosperi
ty here, prosperity there and peace
everywhere, but there can be peace,
comfort*, ease and prosperity nowhere
among an agricultural people unless
the great driving wheel that keeps
all the machinery of business in
motion that there-shall is so lubricated and adjusted
as be no frictiou to
retard its forward movements. The
great, thought leading and centralizing
of the farmers of this land
should be the devising of methods
and management whereby the farm
should become, not only a property
unencumbered,but asourceofannual
income, daily comfort and pleasure
to its owner; methods which when
put into daily and persistent practice
will raise the farmer to that high
pinnacle of independence from which
when lie rises from his bed of rest and
sleep in the early morn, he can look
out upon liis broad acres, freighted
with waiving crops, and say in his
heart, thank God, these acres and
freight of crops are unencumbered
and subject to the money demands of
no man. This thought, each sub
Alliance should stress before its mem
hers, and they before their neighbor
farmers, and any and every where that
the plow is guided to cull a living
from tilling the soil. ITiless the
farm be made a source of income,
comfort and pleasure, how shall we
engender and cultivate enthusiasm
for that honorable and noble calling,
and bow shall we develop our grow
ing sons into lovers of agriculture
and weave cords of endearment that
shall hind our loved ft ml loving
wives and daughters to their quiet,
lovely country homes?
But to return to our Alliance picnic
occasion. The whole community of
Pleasant Grove interested themselves
in the Alliance meeting and the
occasion was indeed a real picnic,
At a suitable hour the multiplicity of
lunch baskets came to light and a
most elegant dinner, or rather din
ners, were spread for the benefit of
the multitude. And after partaking
of the same anyone could hut con
elude that the Pleasant Grove com
munity is composed of people who
are truly Alliancemen in preparing
for the inner man. While there was
a multitude to be ted there was no
need of a miraculous multiplication
of the loaves and meats and other
goods, for like “the oil in the cruise’’
and “the meal in the tub” the sup 4 ly
did not run out. This part of the pro¬
gramme for the day, as was the whole,
was Tlie much enjoyed.
afternoon, general as the forenoon,
was spent in social inter¬
mingling among Alliancemen and
their friends. At a seasonable hour
in the evening all bade adieu to the
happy scenes of the day, them hoping that
the future may bring many
similar occasions.
TARUET SHOOTING.
,, T ri ., fi a y evening the Quitman „ .,

The promise of a full blackberry
crop is excellent, and if pickers can
be secured to pick on halves, pics will
doubtless be plentiful during the
berry season.
The occasional chirp of tho spring
chicken is heginlng to he hoard on
our streets. We hope this is hut tho
precursor of a good crop of that
“fruit.” But alas; modern cooks and
modern culinary methods have done 1
away with the “old fashioned chicken
pie ”
There are a number of farms in
various parts of Monroe county that
could be converted into 'excellent
stock ranches; and were these well
stocked with cattle, aSmieh goats and sheep
they would yield larger per
cent than they now do while culti¬
They vated almost exclusively in cotton.
could, in a comparatively brief
period, be coated with bermuda and
clover so as to afford grazing for stock
almost the entire year.
Dry, dry, dry has been the cry in
this section for some days. But little
rain favored this part of the country
during the month of April. Com¬
plaint from the farmers on account of
the continued dry weather is increas¬
ing. Much of the farm lands that
Was not stirred while moist has
become too hard for the plow and
hence some cotton planting has been
delayed. Neither can effective, profit¬
able work in the corn be had.
It. is the earnest desire of the Ad¬
vert cser to see Monroe county and
her people prosperous and prospering,
and it stand, ready to avail itself of
every opportunity to bring about this
result. And us*bii in appealing to our peo¬
ple to aid this line we can mus¬
ter no better and more fitting words
than the following which we appro¬
priate from an exchange:
“Now help us; write up your re¬
spective neighborhoods tell the outside
world what has been accomplished
by you. Tell how fertile are our val¬
leys and uplands; bermuda how rich lands; we are in
the famous how
health-giving and health-restoring in
climate; how nature has blessed us
and how we are using these advan¬
tages.
Every one take bold, send these
sentiments abroad, coupled with the
pressing invitation—warm from your
heart—that our advantages are xvide
open to honest and earnest strangers
and immeasurable Georgia hospitali¬
ty awaits them within.”

Wild turkeys are getting to be
plentiful about Colliers.
Religious Service*.
A series of religious services was
begun at the Methodist church in this
city on Thursday night last. Genl.
Evans was with us until Saturday
morning and preached three good
sermons.
Rev. Mr. Cowen missionary to Bra¬
zil, filled the pulpit Sunday morning,
an d gave a sad picture of the religious
darkness that clouds the minds of
t lie inliabiflhits of that country, show
ing the great need of missionary work
in tk’at region.
Rev. Howard Crumly was present,
representing the orphan’s home, and
made a fair collection for the inmates
of that noble institution.
Rev. J. C. Davidson preached at
night a strong, pointed and impress¬
ive sermon replete with solid truth
from beginning to close. He will
have during the week the help of
Rev. J. H. Alashburn, of Warrenton.
There will be serviceaeaeh day at 7%
in the morning aud 7 3 4 in the even
ing. It is hoped that all who are in
reach of and can do so, will attend
these services. An earnest soiieita
tion is extended to all to take part in
i them.

A Tart If Lcmoii.
Mow rapidly monopoly tariff tax¬
es under tho plea of protection to
industry arc stmnpending tin' West
ern farmers clear over into the
brant hies ol free trade, is pointedly
illustrated by the commercial con¬
gress held lately at Kansas city.
This body was a volunteer aggre¬
gation of Western men of all parlies,
convened to battle against the caus¬
es of the general industrial dopres
sion in tho Western States, and
there was not a single voice raised
for tho.policy of protection. 'There
were free traders and revenue tariff
men with “incidental protection,” but
there were no apologists for the
McKinley protection to monopoly.
The most significant fact was the
adoption of a free trade platform—a
tariff for revenue only'—over the
revenue tariff plank with incidental
protection, by a vote of fid to 55, and
then flic adoption of tho free trade
platform without tho formality of a
division. Tho most that any dele¬
gate thought of in the line of protec¬
tion was a revenue tariff with pro¬
tection as an incident.
It must be obvious to the suppor¬
ters of the present oppressive tariff
taxes that there is now no hopeful
party in any of the States west of
Ohio clear through to the Rocky
Mountains, that defends the McKin¬
ley Jaw : ami If the republicans shall
enter the contest of 1892 pledged to
that tariff, they will surely lose the
bulk of the-old Republican states in
the west.—Ex.

On Friday evening at the home of
the parents in this city, little Fannie
the infant daughter of Judge and
Mrs. W. T. Lawson departed this life
aged about fourteen months, after a
brief illness. She was a bright babe
and the pet of the household. Little
Fannie “is not dead, but sleepeth.”
She has taken her place among the
angels in Heaven. She was a
bud of short duration upon earth,
but will bloom forever in paradise.
May this dispensation of .Divine
Providence be sanctified to the spiri¬
tual good*of the bereaved family, who
in this, their hour of affliction, have
the sympathy of the entire commu¬
nity.

A Tree Reprexentiug a Debtor.
What tree represents a person in
debt? Willow (you will owe) much
to Dr. Diggers’ Huckleberry Cordial
for curing the child teething, or you
of cramp colic or dysentery.
Tiie teachers convention was in
full blast at Brunswick last week,
and the previously published pro
gramme was welt executed. Much
good, earnest- work was done by the
educators, and that “fair city by the
sea” showed her ability to entertain
the big crowd in royal style. TRc
islands in that vicinity which are
pleasant places of resort, were visit¬
ed by the convention.
