Yesterday morning a shadow of
sorrow and sadness spread over our
town when we received the intelli
gence that Mrs. Janie McCowen
Powell, wife of Prof. ,J. E. Powell, of
Monroe Female College, was dead.
She died at her father’s home in
Jonesboro about 5 o’clock yesterday
morning. She was taken ill with
typhoid fever about two weeks ago.
Mrs. Powell came to our communi¬
ty, a bride, about eighteen months
ago.
During her short stay among our
people she had won the esteem and
love of all. She was a true woman,
intelligent accomplished and ami¬
able. A pure and devoted Christian,
she was the source of a wholesome
influence. The sympathies of our en
tire community go out to her grief
stricken husband in this hour of bis
sad bereavement
lion. T. It. rnbnniM.
The Telegraph would hesitate to
undertake to flatter the gentleman
whose name heads this notice, for he
has risen to his present position, po¬
litically and socially, by true merit,
and would doubtless scorn popular
preferment if otherwise tendered. It
is fortunate for Georgia that she has
such citizens as the Hon. T. B. Caba
niss. Steadfast in his devotion to
principle, talented beyond an ordi¬
nary degree, studious at, all times,
gentle in his disposition, he possesses
every quality necessary to fit him for
any public trust, and has ever been
high in the esteem of all who know
him.
A life long Democrat, he has given
the best strength of a vigorous man¬
hood to the service of the party. Few
men have let pass as many opportu¬
nities to accumulate wealth or sacri¬
ficed the comforts and pleasures of
the home circle for the public good
than he.—Macon Telegraph.
Dentil oi T. F. Turk.
On Tuesday last at the home of his
son-in-law, Air. J. AY. Evans, in the
eastern part of this county, Mr. T. F.
Turk departed this life. He had
been in declining health for a long
time and quite sick for weeks prior to
his death.
Mr. Turk was one of our oldest and
most respected citizens having spent "and
his life chiefly in this county,
having lived beyond his three score
and ten years. Though quiet and
unassuming in manner, he was a
splendid citizen and a good man who
always fluence. exerted a wholesome in¬
His record as a Christian
was quite exemplary. He left several
children besides other relatives and
many friends to mourn his death.
His funeral services were conduct¬
ed bv tiie Pastor, Rev. R. P. Martin,
and the remains were placed at rest
at Salem church. The Advertiser
extends sympathies to the bereaved
children. May they look to Him,
who alone can comfort and sustain in
the hour of trouble.

Bcrimou of the Jury Itox.
The biennial revision of the jury
box for this county was had last week.
The Board of Revisors, Alessrs. J. AI.
Horne, J. R. Shannon, E. H. Walker,
T. J. Hardin, W. P. White and B. At.
Hathhorn, aided by Clerk C. H.
Sharp, entered upon that duty Oil
Monday morning, and continued
their labors each day up to Friday
evening. They labored with dili
gence and care that they might more
effectually design accomplish the end and
of the law. And if there be
those who presume that the dis¬
charge of this duty in accord with
the intent of the statute requiring it
is an easy task, they are simply mis¬
taken. AVe speak from experience
when we make this assertion. If the
revising board were enlarged so as to
include one member from each mili
tia district in the county, the work
could be more quickly, more easily,
and, done. we arc confident; more efficient
j y If, however, our represen
tatiyes would give this subject some
thought they would be the better pre
pared to act intelligently in the mat
ter.
Another New Building.
-
Another splendid dwelling, design
ed as a boarding house, is being erect
ed on the campus of Monroe Female
College. This enterprise is headed
by President J. E. Powell, of the col
lege, and the building is planned and
being arranged with a special eye to
the accommodation, comfort and con
venience of college boarders. We are
glad to see this forward step taken
it has been a standing need of the
college since the main building arose,
Phoenix-like, from its ashes and be
came a living reality. The new build
fng j s conveniently located, hand
some iu design and tftnply capacious
for the accommodation of a number
of boarders. When completed it will
be, not only an attraction but a valu
able adjunct to the college.
The contractor, Air. D. F. Bennett,
■
is supervising the erection, and with
a = ootl force of mechanics is pushing
the work. The indications now are,
that ’ unless unforeseen hindrances
intervene, the building will be com
pleted and ready for occupancy by "this the
opening desired of the fall term. May
consummation be attained,
Of this enterprise we shall have more
to say in the future.

The Allmnr Wnrrhoa.e.
The fleecy bolls of cotton scattered
here and there in the fields point the
fact that the cotton season is drawing
nigh. Nor are our warehousemen and
cotton men sleeping on this line, but
are awake and waiting for the cot¬
ton hales to be put in motion.
In this connection we would state
tlial the Alliance warehouse is com¬
pletely and fully equipped to handle
with care and the promptest dispatch
all the cotton that may be assigned
or entrusted to it during the season.
The Board of Trustees have been
so fortunate as to secure for the sea¬
son, the services of two amply com¬
petent men, Messrs. T. J. Cheeves
and John AV. Wooten, to manage the
business of their warehouse and di¬
rect the handling of all the cotton
consigned there. This is quite a safe
guarantee that the planters’ interests
involved in their cotton will be
looked after, if placed in their hands.
Both these gentlemen while Mr. are Hooten good busi¬
ness men, is a
good classifyer and a fine judge of
cotton.
Another fact we would mention in
this connection is that this is the
property of Alliancemen and that
therefore in patronizing themselves. it they will
be patronizing This, for
the reason that there is an unpaid
balance yet due on this valuable prop¬
erty, there andjevery reduce bale of that cotton stored
helps to balance.
In order to meet and clear away
this balance, the County Alliance
lias decided to make a charge of
twenty-five cents for weighing during
the approaching season. Now will
not Alliancemen consign their cot¬
ton to their own warehouse and thus
benefit themselves?
Not only Alliancemen, but may it
not be suggested that other planters,
who can consistently do so, might go
and do likewise with the hope of a
future benefit. For when this slight
encumbrance now resting upon that
property shall have been cleared
away, the original design of weigh¬
ing cotton there for all planters for
nothing will be carried out. As an
Allianceman we make these sugges¬
tions that our planter fiiends may
consider them.

It was the burial of Maud Napier
Brown, the wife of Charles Louis Brown,
of and Chattanooga. burial, The story of her death
following so swiftly the mar¬
riage in the fall, makes up a chapter in
which blasted hopes and broken hearts
are woven with the garlands on her bier.
On the 15th of last October as Maud
Napier, tills young woman, crowned with
love and beauty, was led to the marriage
altar by Mr. Charles Louis Brown, who
seemed the happiest mortal on the earth
when, after four long years of courtship,
he heard the words that made her his
wife and hooded his soul with the sun¬
light of love. Followed by the love of a
fond mother and a devoted father, who
almost idolized her, she went forth in all
her bridal beauty to the home of her
husband’s makimgat Chattanooga in the
blue mountain lands of Tennessee. Once
since then she lias returned to the home
of her girlhood for a short visit to rela¬
tives and friends, to brighten for a time
their hearts and their homes with the
sunshine of her gentle presence.
Her plans were made to spend a month
with thejliome folks this fall, and they
were looking forward with so much
pleasure to the visit.
8he wrote so cheerfully, and even as
late as last Thursday she wrote a letter
to her father in which she spoke of the
coming visit.
Saturday morning the news came in
the shape of a telegram that she was ill
and like a true mother, Mrs. Napier left
everything to go to her daughter.
She had reached the depot when a sec¬
ond message came bearing the dread
tidings of her loved one’s death, and
bowed with grief, the loving mother re¬
turned to her husband to await the aw¬
ful Yesterday homecoming. the
morning body, accom¬
panied by the heart-broken husband, his
mother and his two sisters, readied At¬
lanta and was forwarded to Forsyth.
In the softened light of the cloudy
morning tlie hearse, containing the cas¬
ket and followed by a long train of ve¬
hicles, rolled along the winding road to
the home made desolate by the presence
of the death angel, while the air was till¬
ed with the sweet music of the Sabbath
school bells which had often called the
departed one to the house of God.
When the sky was dark and lowering
the body was taken to the Presbyterian
clinrch where the funeral services were
conducted, among the speakers being
Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Lagrange, who,
less than a year ago, performed the cere¬
mony which united her in marriage to
Charles Louis Brown.
der Many recollections eyes were overflowing with ten¬
of the dead girl, and
before the service was finished, as if em¬
blematical of the bright hereafter follow¬
ing the darkness of life, the clouds, that
had enveloped the earth in their folds,
parted, and the whole land was flooded
with the glory of the afternoon sunshine.
The pall bearers, and three of them,
Messrs. M G. Turner, Geo. B. Thweatt;
and Willie B. Thweatt, stood as attend¬
ants at the marriage, carried the casket
to the waiting hearse, and last night the
moon and lier attendant star looked
down upon a new-made grave in Forsyth,
it was the grave of Maud Napier Brown
and her baby.

ONE MAN’S FAlTHFUIi WORK,
lt thows That farming t’an Be made
to Pay.
A model man and a model farmer
is Mr. J. M. Aunis, and the manner
in which he lias struggled against
misfortune and worked his way up
in the world is an excellent object
lesson to the young men of Georgia.
Starting life just after the war
without a cent in his pocket and with
a wife and children dependent upon
him for support, he resembled a great
many other confederate soldiers. Rut
he was not quite so fortunate as a
great many were, who came out of
the war with their limbs perfectly
sound and their health unimpaired
by exposure,
He was wounded in the knee and
leg, and the wound was of such a
character as not only to cause him
continual suffering, but to deprive
him of the good use of his limb,
which was stiff.
Nevertheless, he went to work with
a brave heart, forgetting the war in
the great drops of perspiration that
trickeled down his face, and remem
bering only that he had his wife and
children to support. He arose in the
morning by 3 o’clock, and he worked
through the day like a common hand
in the field, returning to his home at
night and closing his labors for the
day in thankful gratitude that his
health was spared,
The result was that in five years he
owned a comfortable home in Monroe
county, aud was the equal of any far
mer in the neighborhood. He was
able to educate his children and to
supply his family with the conveni
ences and comforts of life,
Mr. Annis is now considered one of
the best farmers in his section of the
state, and is a man of influence among
the people of his district,
He is a stanch democrat, and be
lieves the only hope of the country is
in the triumph of the democratic par
ty. Passing through the city yester
day on his way home from Athens,
where he went to attend the reunion
of the Third Georgia, he was asked in
regard to the gathering of the old
soldiers.
“I never had a better time in my
life,” said he. “The speaking was
good and everybody was delighted
with the Athens people.” people’s
“How about the party in
your section of the country?” the
question was asked,
“Well,” said he, “they are strong
in some parts, but I think before the
fight is over a great many of them
will come back into the old party.
Monroe is democratic by a big major
ity, and it will be so as long as Geor
gia is a state. I am a democrat, dyed
in the wool, and I expect to vote the
ticket as long as I live. I have voted
it all my life so far, and I have always
worked for it, too.
“And,” added he, “if every farmer
in Georgia would stick close to his
farm and labor hard and earnestly,
he’ll keen out of debt and won’t need
any third parties. If I can do it with
i one leg, those who have two sound
j ones certainly ought to. Oughtn’t
they?”

succeeded. The measure of success
he has attained i3 the result of indom¬
itable energy and perseverance. But’
few ex-confederates began work after
the war under more adverse circum¬
stances. He was not only greatly

but has been and still is a constant

A TRIBUTE.
Died on the 1st inst. Mrs. Clotilda
Goodman Waldrop, borninJasr ■>cr coun
tv Jan. 22nd, 1859, and married J an. 28th,
1877, soon moved with her husband and
one child to this county where she spent
the icnuiinder of her short but useful
life.
In the presence of death we stand ap¬
palled and bewildered. Its mysteries
are as unsolved as in the primeval age
of the human race. It lays its impartial
hand on the brightest and host, the most
useful and most needed. In its awful
presence we can only how in silence and
submission, while love points to the star
of hope as our only consolation.
Generous, affable, and kind, without
guile or deceit, to know Mrs. Waldrop
was to love her. She entered on the dis¬
charge that bespoke of every duty with an earnestness
the true and sincere heart.
Within the hounds of truth and justice
she tried to discharge every duty to hus¬
band. children and friends. Without an
efi'ort, except the prompting of an en¬
lightened conscience, she won the hearts
of all her neighbors. Her life was an
example of devotion to duty. Cut off
in the early noon of womanhood, before
her sun had reached ic meridian, her
character speaks more eloquently for
industry, kindness and truth than any
homily from the lips of man.
She had so endeared herself to all that
the cruel fate that took her away was
met less body by a flood of tears. Over her life¬
it was said more than once
“How much better many of us could be
spared than she.” She was needed so
by him to whom she was more than a
helpmeet, and the seven little children,
whose training and welfare had ever been
her tenderest care, their manners and
intelligence wholesome influence attesting the strong and
she had exerted
over thorn. She was leading them gent¬
ly along the paths of virtue and indus¬
try, equipping them to become useful
citizens.
Her horizon was narrow, hut in her
soul existed the elements of greatness.
She had within herself solved the prob¬
lem of life and conscientiously upheld
the principles of truth, and justice. Who
will sav that she is less great than if her
name were blown by the wind of fame
across the nation’s lip? She met every
duty of life with the spirit of true hero¬
ism. She sowed seed, not by the way
side nor among thorny briers, but where
they golden will grow and bear a rich harvest of
fruit, and the name of the reap¬
ers shall be legion. Sho fed the hungry,
she nursed the sick, she preached the
gospel of love and kindness. Could all
of those to whom she had endeared her¬
self utter, in this, their grief at the loss of
her, it would indeed be a volume of sor
row.
Her life of mercy, justice, and love was
consistent with her belief in God whom
she worshipped. She had never con¬
nected herself with any church, and in
this she was still consistent. It may
have been that she found no church
whose creed accorded to that of her own.
It matters not here. But for the sake of
those who might fear, let it he known
that a few days before she. died, she said
that death possessed no terror for her,
but that she desired to live in this world
where her children still needed her. In
the delirium of her fever she had fre¬
quently asked “when will we get home ?”
and those bending above her tell that
with her last words she whispered
“most home now.”
On buried Tuesday evening, Aug. 2nd, she
was near her home by the side of
a lit tie one who had been placed there a
little more than a year before. To the
light of day, the shadow of night, the
song of birds, the sweet perfume of fiow
ers, t he ra in, the dew: to all the swpnt
influences of nature were consigned the
remains of the loving wife, mother,
friend.
AVhen we recount the many acts by
which she had lessened the griefs of her
fellows, when we stand before the ex
ample realize ot truth and sincerity, when we
that between the dawn and noon
day of her life, she had accomplished
more than many who labor on into
evening’s with twilight—our hearts swell
emotions of gratitude that such a
woman lias illustrated a life worthy the
following of us all.

Good Corn, Good I'mc, and Bed ft'oxe*.
AIr. Editor: —AVe have just ro
turned from the most enjoyable fox
hunt we ever had, which was in the
lower part of Monroe, AVe write to
return our thanks to the good peo¬
ple of that section of the county for
the many kindnesses shown us while
among them.
We stopped with that old veteran
W. B. Meek, known as “uncle Bill
by all his neighbors. To say that
we were well eared for and every¬
thing provided for us that heart
could wish, does not express it.
Just here permit us to say that
there are more good men and good
women, more good corn and more
red foxes per acre there than can bo
found in any other section in middlo
Georgia. Mr.
Joe Gardner takes the cake on
corn. He has corn that is estimated
at sixty bushels per acre, and I don’t
think it is an overestimate. Indeed
all in that neighborhood have fine
crops of every kind, and have the
appearance of doing well.
Now, Mr. Editor, to see those old
sages turn out on their Georgia rais¬
ed steeds for the chase is very inter¬
esting. They go, Jehu-like, very
fast, turning neither to the right nor
left, regardless of corn, cotton or gul¬
lies. I thought they would soon
break down and go in, but to my
surprise, they were all up at the
catching and killing of a fine old
male red fox, after a run of an hour
and a half. There are more red
foxes in that neighborhood than in
any place bad we nothing ever saw.
We to interfere with
us and our happiness was complete.
There was not a candidate picking
at our sleeves, or helping us to shell
corn. Your fellow-townsman, Col.
Fletcher, was taking it all in, and
that gray steed of his will long re
member the music of the hounds.
Well, it will not do to say any¬
thing about our table fare, for that
would make too many mouths water.
Sufficient to say that it was prepar¬
ed by one of the grandest ladies in
Georgia, Mrs. W. B. Meek.
Again let us extend our thanks to
the good people of that neighbor¬
hood. Wo hope to meet them again
on the field and at the table. Suc¬
cess to your paper and long may
you wave. Corley,
Butler,
Cain.
