One of the most enjoyable features
of the social season was the valentine

of charming personality; possessed
of a beauty and grace ot feature com¬

the center of every social circle in
which she is thrown. This occasion
of compliment was a splendid attesta¬
tion of the worth in which she is held
in Forsyth.
The elegant home of the Alex¬
ander’s was aglow with music,
flowers and mirth, and the soft light
from the cut glass candelabra fell
over a scene where feminino-beauty j
and grace were wooed by chivalrous
speech Along and towards knightly the manner. wane of the J
evening elegant refreshments were j
.
served in the spacious dining hall j
where the ripe aroma of tropical
fruits mingled with the perfume of j
the sweetest flowers. i

whom were:

Superior Court.
Last week closed the session of our
superior court for the spring term
Notwithstanding the weather was
unfavorable most of the time for the
two weeks yet there was a good at¬
tendance upon the court.
The first week was entirely devoted
to civil business, while the court’s
attention last week was chiefly direct¬
ed to criminal business.
At times, when the court room was
crowded and a strong wind was
blowing, there was manifested by
some an uneasiness from fear that
there might be a collapse of the build¬
ing. This spirit seem?d to prevail
among some of the jurors. indictments
A very fair crop of
were returned by the grand jury. A
reasonable number of criminal cases
were disposed of during the week,
though there was some complaint of
the dilatoriness of the proceedings,
Vervicts and pleas of guilty were
entered in the following cases:
Jim ball, misdemeanor; plea of
guilty Fine, $20.

Mission Services.
Sunday night at the Methodist
church In this city the Woman’s
Parsonage and Home Mission Society
held quite an interesting service rela¬
tive to mission work, building par¬
sonages, etc.
A most interesting program had
been arranged, and it was well exe¬
cuted.
To the right of the pulpit, suspend¬
ed upon the wall, was a star diagram
at the five points of which were the
five letters W. P. H. M. S.; to the
left of the pulpit was suspended upon
the wall a pretty banner, inscribed
upon which, in large letters, was the
motto, “God is our Banner,” while
between these was suspended from a
cord a map of the United States on
which had been posted small blue
stars each designating aided a parsonage,
which the society has in build
jp.fr,
The number of parsonages erected
aiM j which have had help from this
source is near three hundred.
This is a magnificent showing when
we remember that this soeietv is a
child of the general conference of
1886, and is not yet eight years old.
The recitations, readings, and facts
presented in executing the program
all showed the great demand upon
the people of this country and ea
pecially upon Christians for the vig
orous prosecution of this grand work
an d the exceeding importance of its
consummation. There were pre
sented to the large audience some
touching facts which had come to the
surface because of the need of homes
j n which preachers of the gospel may
find shelter for themselves and their
families.
To say nothing of the deficiency in
this particular in other broad fields
in our own land, there are in Geor
gia fifty-eight circuits and stations,
the pastoratesof Mgthodist ministers,
j n which there are no parsonages for
those ministers.
t q supply this deficiency, and to
build a home for everv preacher en
gaged in ministerial work in every
field over which Methodism spreads
its wing, and to broaden mission
work is the great aim and purpose of
this movement. And when we see
what this society has accomplished
on this line in its earliest childhood
years,is it not a promise that its gran¬
dest purpose will be consummated ?
Another impressive fact connected
with this matter is that the great
instrumentality behind and driving
forward this grand work is woman.as
the name of the society indicates.
This society movement is co-ex
tensive with Methodism, and its
ranks aie composed chiefly of women.
This particular service was gotten
up by the local society which is com¬
posed of a goodly number of true and
devoted women who never tire In
efforts to promote the cause of Chris¬
tianity on the earth. The true pur¬
pose of their effort is to do good and
save the people. In this, these noble,
good women should have, not only
the sanction,but the earnest and faith¬
ful co-operation of one and all.
May the society be multiplied in
numbers, in effort and in zeal until
no circuit in the broad field of Meth¬
odism shall be left without a home
for the preacher.

was 0 f SU( >h short duration that it did

ascertained, the location ot the fire

Hammond s little son, from which
lamp fire was communicated to

Admitted to the Bar.
During the early part of last week
Messrs. Earnest" Smith and
ence W. Brantly were admitted to
bar. Both these young men
bright minds and the ladder of fame
is open to them. i j
The examination of each of them
was most creditable indeed showing i
that they start out in the practice of |
j aw with a srood foundation laid.
They were appointed to represent
the defendant in a criminal case on
Tuesday evening and on Wednesday i
morning each of them made tfceir
maiden court speech and did credit
to themselves. and They are bright,
buoyant young and the road to
distinction is open to them. May
each of them have continued and un
interrupted success in their chosen
A NEW COURT HOUSE.
The Grand Jury is Outspoken and
Pointed it its Presentments.
The subject of a new court house is
again under consideration by tfie peo¬
ple. During last week and the week
before not only did the grand jury
give the old court house a critical
and close inspection but a number of
citizens of their own motion dirt the
same thing. The general verdict of
those who did so was that the build¬
ing in its present condition is some¬
what unsafe.
Never has this matter been so
thoroughly looked into heretofore.
The grand jury’s conclusion and
verdict on that subject will be found
in their general presentments. They
do not hesitate to advise the erection
of a new courthouse and one amply
adequate and suitable to present de¬
mands upon such building.
We regard the conclusion reached
by them as wise- because of the con¬
demnation heretofore placed upon the
present court house.
"Besides, the opinion of many of our
best citizens is that the present build¬
ing is dangerous, while it is conceded
by well nigh all of our citizens that
and the courtroom unfit for the is wholly inadequate for which
designed. purpose Furthetmore
it i 3 the
office rooms are not suited for the
demands that are made upon them
nor is there a sufficiency of them.
Now, the chief ground upon which
the opposition to the building of a
court house rests, has for sometime
been the cost or expense attaching to
the same, the idea seeming to have
taken hold upon many tax-payers
in the county that such procedure
would saddle upon them a very bur¬
densome taxation. But when viewed
from a proper business standpoint,
such an idea is erroneous. Because
public and general interests dictate a
wiser policy touching the building of
a new court house than that of forc¬
ing upon the people the payment of
such a debt in a short time. Instead
of persuing that policy the period for
paying the debt that will accrue from
building an elegant court house can
easily be spread over a number of
years.
To illustrate, if the payment of a
thirty thousand dollar debt bespread
over thirty years, the annual increase
of taxation at the present valuation
of taxable property in the county
would be about fifty cents on each
one thousand dollars worth of prop¬
erty. Hence it is readily seen that
the building of a thirty thousand dol¬
lar court house for the county need
not increase the taxes to any percep¬
tible amount. Indeed, by lengthen¬
ing out'the time for the payment of a
debt of that amount over the period
mentioned, the tax-payers of the
county would pay it and never know
that they had had a burden imposed
upon them.
Further, the objection to this idea pro¬
ceeding interposed upon the of
not transmitting to posterity the
debts of the present is a mere bubble
and in antagonism to strict business
principles. Posterity may bo more
able to bear such burdens and meet
indebtedness thus imposed than those
of the present. And if such an idea
was rigidly adhered to, it would
greatly retard progress in many
enterprises. conclude that this objec¬
Hence we
tion is a mere subterfuge.
In addition to the conveniences to
be gained by the building of a new
court house for the county, and such
a court house as the people want,
other benefits will grow out of it that
cannot now be estimated.
After hearing their general present¬
ments Judge Hunt strongly endorsed
the recommendation of the grand
jury for the building of a new court
house and stressed the importance of
the same, and commended the jury
for their efficiency, faithfulness and
activity in looking after the county’s
interests, as evidenced in their pre¬
sentments.
His Hono^also paid a high compli¬
ment to the county relative to the
classification of its population, their
intelligence and culture, ranking it
among the very best counties in the
state.
Mixed Weather.
The weather for the last week may
very properly be classed as mixed.
We had coid weather, warm weather,
a little snow, a little sieet, some sun¬
shine and an abundance of rain.

work, so far as preparation was con

Attacked by a Mad Dog.
Sunday last Judge Jas. Moore was
attacked by a mad dog and was so
hard pressed by the dog that he had
to climb an apple tree for protection.
The dog not being able to climb the
tree after the Judge, passed on, and
was afterwards shot at by Mr. Jas. At.
Britt, who missed him, and the dog
continued his ramblings.
THE CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS.
On this subject the following
from the Atlanta Constitution is
so perfectly in accord with our
views that we appropriate it as our
own :
It is hardly possible that the
young man who has learned how
to reason can contemplate the
career of other young men who
figure in the court reports of the
newspapers without drawing a
healthy and useful moral there¬
from.
In these reports one fact stands
out clear and unmistakable. It is
this: that the young man who, for
whatever reason, persists in living
beyond slender his means, no matter how
that income may be, is
sure to reap the bitter fruits of his
folly—is sure to come to grief.
There is another fact, which, al¬
though it does not figure promi¬
nently in the newspaper reports, is
equally as important — namely :
that young men who live beyond
their incomes are not only objects
of suspicion to their employers,
but to a large majority of their
acquaintances.
lad Many has an honest, well-meaning
been led on to his ruin by
the false and foolish notion that
he must measure his own social
gait and his expenditures by those
of his companions who are more
trouble fortunately with situated. The is great that
their thoughtlessness young men
them absurd permits
to set up standards
of conduct. They do not stop to *
think. They take it for granted
that if they do not go the pace set
by those who have the advantages
of money and position, they will
be looked down on in a social way.
There never was a greater mis¬
take than this. Even the giddiest
of giddy society finds time and
opportunity to pay the tribute of
respect and confidence to the
young man who is doing his whole
duty by himself and his employers,
and who is living strictly within
his income. Nearly all the
troubles into which young men
fall grow out of the notion that the
reckless expenditure of money con¬
fers a sort of distinction. As a
matter of fact it is the first fatal
step towards ruin. Jn all the
changes that have been made in
customs and habits and fashions
the old, simple law holds good—
that the only success that can
bring comfort and happiness is the
success that grows out of honesty
and economy.
The very simplicity of the con¬
ditions of success are calculated to
deceive young men who have not
taught themselves to reason right¬
ly. These conditions lie on the
surface of things, and the young
man that turns away from them
with contempt is doomed to fail
ure. Fiist and foremost is the
necessity of economy, and it need
not be pinching or parsimonious.
The necessity of living within his
means should be realized by every
young man who is either hopeful
or ambitious. To save money is
to make it twice, and the’capacity
of saving money is the whole
secret of success.
