MUPEKIOR COI’BT,
All parties interested will bear in
mind that the time for convening our a:
_
superior court at the spring session i
,ias changed from the fourth to !
the brings first Monday in February. This
the court three weeks earlier
than heretofore. We have not heard
their verdict in tliis matter, but are
inclined to the opinion that this
change will be an advantage to the
farming class as the court will now
be out of the way before planting sea
son. And this will certainly be ad
vantageous for the reason that the
planting is a very important part of
farm work.
All witnesses and other persons
having business with the court should
note the change in the time for hold
ing the court.
niSHAlMU YOUR COAL.
Tiie protracted cold weather has
exhausted the supply of coal in the
hands of our local dealers, and the
outlook indicates that there may be
some For delay in securing more coal.
tliis reason it may be well for
those who have a small margin of this
necessary article on hand to husband
the same as best they can. For a coal
famine upon us in the midst of such
weather as has prevailed tor the last
few days would be a calamity.
Our local coal dealers, however, are
availing themselves of all possible
means of securing a sufficiency of coal
to meet the demand. This annually re¬
cu in ing coal shortage with us should
remind the coal consumers of the
town of the importance of laying in a
bountiful supply in the eat ly fail or, if
possible, in the summer when ample
transportation can be had. If every
consumer would thus place their or¬
ders for an ample supply of coal they
would not find themselves short at a
time when coal is needed.

The subject ol good public roads
seems to be engaging the attention of
the people generally, both north and

results have obtained.

The unusually rough weather that
has prevailed since winter set in has
prevented the authorities from giving
proper attention to this public duty.
And if the grand jury at the approach¬
ing session of court should find the
public highways in the county not in
the best condition, they will no doubt
be guided by prudence and wisdom in
the investigation of the matter, and
not heap censure where censure is
not deserving.

DON’T BO THAT.
In an interview with one of our
county farmers a few days ago, lie
stated to us that three months ago or
more when cotton was selling at 6 and
6L cents, the planters of his com
munity were decidedly inclined their to a
further curtailment of cotton
crops and an enlargement of their
food and grain crops, but that since
cotton had reached the nine cents
mark many of them had changed
their views and now contemplate
planting more largely in cotton,
The einphaf i appeal we'Tiave to
make on this point is, don’t do that!
For the good of yourselves, your
neighbors, and the country in general
don’t enlarge the production of cotton
to the neglect of food crops. Such
policy has already impoverished the
masses of the southern states, and a
continuance of such policy can but,
and will increase their poverty. This
truth is conceded by all. Then why
should the planters of the cotton belt
of the south, now, when arranging
for the same, plan their crops so as to
increase their own poverty? Don’t
neglect to plan for food crops first,
and then for all the cotton you can
cultivate.

KOKED IX WHITE.
On Wednesday morning last the
denizens of our city on awaking from
their slumbers looked out to see the
earth clothed in a mantle of white,
The snow was then falling and con
tinued to fall until late in the after
noon when showers of sleet began to
succeed each other. These continu
ed into the night, and on Thursday
morning there was upon the earth
and all out doors the heaviest coating
of snow and sleet combined that has
fallen in this section iu sixty years
according to the recollection of the
"°For S some reas^m^the lun-lovlng por
tiou of our citizens were not disposed
to excessive indulgence in the snow,
though there was some snow balling,
The snow, however, was not of that
kind that admits of being readily com
pacted into balls.
The coating of snow on Thursday
was fine for sleigh riding and a few
indulged that sport toalimitedextent.
The nearest approach to this fall of
snow and sleet in this section in the
sofheavy S
R le feU °t snow was not
this bii f fi^sleet was
the mm climax^f the rough, ft. weather B
coiL
that has been prevailing here for a
month. Some of our older citizens
predict that the good results of the
snow will be fine crops this year.
(ionvr, out.
In some localities in the southern
and south-eastern portions of this
county the labor is growing scarce
and agriculture in those localities
is on the decline. Not long since the
writer passed through those sections
of the county and the evidences of
decline was so impressive, that we
were constrained to inquire as to the
cause, and the general response was
that the laborers of those sections
were going out and going into
adjoining counties. Casual inspec¬
tion in passing verified the fact that
the labor force in that part of
the county is diminishing. Fur¬
ther inquiry along on this line
developed the fact that this exodus
from our county grew out ofour coun¬
ty school system and system of
working public roads. It seems that
facilities touching these matters in
other counties are sufficient to in¬
duce emigragation from our county,
aud hence the gfadual depopulation
of some of our border sections. The
evidence of the hurtful effects of such
exodus, even of laborers from our
county, will be quite apparent to any
one who will visit those sections
affected by it.
Now r we claim that Monroe county
has no population to spare, but on
the contrary that her population,
especially her white population,
needs to be more than doubled to de¬
velop the county as it should be.
Whether or not any remedy, and if
so, what remedy can be applied to
arrest the emigration from any part of
county and to increase our popu¬
lation is the question for our citizens
to consider.
WIDOW’S PENSIONS AGAIN.
Quite a number of persons have
asked us whether or not the widows,
who are entitled to pensions, will be
compelled to appear in person before
the Ordinary to make out their ap¬
plications. In order that we might
give a proper answer, we submitted
this question to the secretary of the
Executive Department, to which he
replied as follows:
“Your enquiry of the 17th received.
In cases where applicants for pen
sions are not able to go before the
Ordinary on account of phisieal disabi
lities, they can make their applica
tions before any officer authorized to
administer oaths. But the certificate
of the Ordinary must be sent, aud
the official character of the officer
aud his signature certified to by the
Ordinary.’’
who
and have heretofore receivednension
aud who, from infirmity, are' unable
to appear tfieir before the Ordinary, can
make out application for pen
sion before the Justice of the peace or
Notary Public ot their district.
We make these statements for the
benefit of some aged and infirm
widow pensioners who, we learn, are
not able to come to the court house
and appear before the Ordinary in
order to make out their pension ap
Pl inTbTeon„ectiou
.How us to
gtst that if these applications
forwarded to the department by the
first of February, they will be
in ample time, as no money will
Pft 4ud
in
to the amount to be paid, we
state that the pension has been

A COUNTV COMMISSIONER TO BE
ELECTED.
Under the amended act relative to
the election of county commissioners
in tliis county it devolves upon the
grand jury to elect one commissioner
annually. For this reason the grand
jury at the approaching elect term of supe¬
rior court will have to a commis¬
sioner to fill the place now occupied
by Judge .T. \Y. J. Taylor whose term
expires at that time. Judge Taylor,
during his term of three years service,
has proven to be a prudent and effi¬
cient member of the Board, and if
made his own successor would con¬
tinue to be a faithful public servant.
But rumor telis of other aspirants
for that position who proclaim them¬
selves willing to serve the people.
The position of county commissioner
is a very responsible one, and its
duties are such as to demand the ser¬
vices of our best citizens This fact,
it is presumed, the grand jury will
keep in view in selecting a commis¬
sioner from the good men who are
aspiring to that position.

« III* IVOT TIOIVROE f
Owing to the push and enterprise
of a few of her citizens, Carroll coun
ty is becoming noted for the splendid
mules and horses grown within her
borders. Why eaunot as good mules,
horses, cows, and livestock generally
be grown in this county as can be
grown in Carroll or in any other
county in Georgia?
Is there any natural obstacles in
this county to impede the raising of
good stock? Is there an absence of
facilities that eaunot be had, that
precludes that enterprise? Does not
bermuda, one of the linest and best
grazing grasses grow luxuriantly here
when allowed to do so? And cannot
Monroe have as fine winter pasturage
for raising stock as Carroll, Green,
or any other county iu the state?
And if our county can grow good
mules and good horses, which is a
conceded fact, then is it either wis
£l!!'tn faimeis to eC r?H depend y on for other H OUr sections M ?" roe
of this country for the mules and
horses needed to prosecute their
farm operations?
Can any of us give even an approx
imate estimate of the large amount
of money carried out of this county
annually to pay for mules and horses
bought elsewhere, and that could be
grown on the farms in the county for
a great deal less money ? If Carroll,
Green, and other counties in Georgia
have made stock raising profitable
and a P a y iu g enterprise, then cer
ta,n ly Monroe with its splendid faci
,ities can make it a profitable indus
tr -Y*
1 he time ,. now is when the interests .
and se,f preservation of our people
demand the inauguration and vigor
ou s prosecution of varied farm indus
tries . among us. And the longer our
populace keep themselves
trom the goal of prosperity. Good
stock ranches in this county would
be prophetic of a bright future for

PRETTY FA I IS DOCKET.
At a meeting of the Bar on Fri¬
day to arrange cases for trial during
the approaching term of the court,
the fact was developed that there
will be a pretty fair docket of civil
business to engage the courts atten¬
tion. The officials and those upon
whom that duty develops are dili¬
gent in arranging to have every¬
thing pertaining to the machinery
of the court in readiness so that the
business of the court can be pushed
with dispatch.
While there are somo criminal
cases not hitherto disposed of, on
the docket yet no definite statement
touching this branch of the court
can bo made in advance since the
criminal business usually develops
as the work of the court progress.
The strongest recomondation that
any article can have is the endorse¬
ment of the mothers of the town.
When the mothers recommend it
you may know that that article has
more than ordinary merit. Here is
what the Centerville, South Dakota,
Citizen says editorially ot an article
sold in their town : “From person¬
al experience we can say that
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has

Three days is a very short time in
which to cure a bad case of rheuma¬
tism ; but it can be done, if tho prop¬
er treatment is adopted, as will be
seen by the following from James
Lambert, of New Brunswick, Ills.:
“1 w as badly afflicted with rheuma¬
tism in thc hips and legs, when I
bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Fain Balm. It cured me in three
days. I am all right to-day; and
would insist on every one who is
afflicted with that terrible disease
to use Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and
get w'cll at once.” 50 cent bottles

RAO ROADS.
The cry of bad roads will doubt¬
less be heard for some weeks. The
recent successive freezes, followed
by an unusual fall of snow, can but
be productive of bad roads in this
section where the road beds are
nothing but clay and tho drainage
very imperfect, We speak in ad¬
vance in behalf of the road commis¬
sioners, road overseers, and others
upon whom the duty of road work¬
ing devolves.
These officials are not wholly to
blame for the bad condition of our
public roads at this season of the
year. It matters not in how good
condition our public roads may be
in the beginning of winter, they
will grow into bad condition under
the winter freezes and winter haul¬
ing. And the only way to avoid
this is to change our system of road
working. Abuse, censure and pun¬
ishment of road commissioners and
road overseers will not do it.
’Tis true that the worst places in
our pudlic roads can be more effect¬
ively causewayed when in bad condi¬
tion than during the dry season
when they arc usually in good con¬
dition.

EDUCATIONAL <<l\4 I, IFI CATION
TOR VOTERS.
At the recent November election
the voters of California gavo a very
largo majority A*ote in favor of an
educational qualification for voters.
The Griffin News roforing to that
vote of California on that question
says :
“Every day more clearly teaches
the necessity of a substantial educa¬
tional qualification for voters at our
elections. The bitterness of race
conflicts in the south has led to its
adoption in a number of tho south¬
ern states, but is in the great north
where tho herds of ignorant votors
do most congregate. There is not
a single attribute of justice in per
tailing a man to exorcise the sov
erign power of our citizenship who
cannot read the Constitution or tho
laws of the country, or even the
ticket that he deposits in the bal!ot>
box, and thc sooner the great states
of the north shall adopt an educa¬
tional qualification of voters tho
sootier will our political system be
elevated to a much higher plane.

Gentlemen :—1 was very feeble
during tho first part of this year
with General Debility caused from
an gland enlargement of tho prostrate
and diabetic troubles. 1 was
reduced in flesh to 135 pounds and
could hardly walk. My heart be¬
came involved so as to give me much
trouble. My mouth and skin wore
dry and I was obliged to sleep un
der cover during the hot weather in
Juno to keep warm, I used medi
cines recommended by the doctors
and my own prescriptions without
relief. Mrs. Hardwick an old ac¬
quaintance of mine was stopping
with me and asked mo to try the
Electropoise. 1 had no faith in its
benefitting tty me, but after studying
lUoraturo ( Onchide d to §plMl t.vy h. j
Mfer CTgtrt o£I
ment I was greatly improved, and
I am now well, except the enlarge¬
ment I speak of. My weight is now
160 pounds and several persons
wanted to know what had made such
a change in my condition ; it was for
this reason that J wrote you some
time ago. I have been practicing
my profession for forty years and am
now about sixty years old, having
lived in this and Washington eoun
ty, where I am well known, I am
anxious to use the Electropoise in
my practice on cases that medicine
does not reach, it you desire you
can use any part of tins letter, as I
am not prejudiced against new treat¬
ments when they do tho work, as
the Electropoise has done in my own
case. Yours truly,

To the question, “what aro the
people in the country doing?” pro¬
pounded last week when tho snow
and icc were everywhere, thc reply
was, “struggling to keep fires, to
stay in doors, and eating up what
little provisions they have.” Be of
good cheer, brother, The snow
will go away, the cold weather will
pass on, and brighter days will
come.
