Death of C. F. Cochrane.
Editor Claude F. Cochrane, of the
Forsyth Journal, who had been sick for
about four weeks, departed this life at
bis home in this city, just before noon
Thursday.
Mr. Cochrane came to this city a com¬
parative stranger about six months ago,
during which time he made many friends.
His editorial labors, during his brief
stay among us, tended to the fostering
of local and general interest. Conscious
of approaching death he seemed resigned
to its call. During his lingering illness
he had the comforting ministraton of
a devoted mother and kind friends.
Ilis remains were taken to and laid to
rest at Powder Sprngs, He left two j
children, a father and mother, and other
relatives to mourn his death, to whom
the Advertiser extends sympathy in !
this their period of mourning.

Hit Them Awain
-
Was of the suggestion prominent citizens that came from j
some our last week
chicken-eating-hog after reading our comments on the
and the egg-sucking- ”
dog.
In that reply to that be suggestion we simply
say if there any that ought to be
“hit” to death or restricted within pris
on bounds, it is composed of those lies
tiforous swine and sneaking curs that
have no more respect fora man’s home
stead rights and no more regard for his
property than to eat his chickens and
suck his eggs
And if the corporate authority of our
cultured city is not vested with sufficient
authority and to authorize the “hitting”
such restrictions upon those, two
classes of animals, then we move for
an amended charter in which shall
pie be specially delegated to them am
powers of out-lawvy bearing upon
all such nuisances. *
There is authority for not muzzling
“the ox that treadeth out the corn”
but we know of no law upon the statute
books of the world that forbids to muz
zle the hogs and dogs that eat chickens
and suck eggs. So we stick to the text
and say, out-law them.

The Memorial Celebration.
Thursday was memorial day and it was
observed in tlie usual way by our citi¬
zens.
At 2 o’clock p. m. the procession was
formed under the supervision of Col. O.
II. B. Blood worth and Mr. Cyrus H.
Sharp, marshals of the day, on the public
square and marched to Oakland Ceme¬
tery wherein lie the bones of the confed¬
erate dead. The citizens of the city
embracing all classes were out in good
force but the sparce attendance from the
country was conspicuous. The assem¬
bly having reached the open space around
the speaker’s stand, after the usual pre¬
liminaries, Rev. F. M. Duncau, being
appropriately introduced in a few well
timed remarks by Col. Sam Rutherford,
appeared before the audience and de¬
livered the me t orial address which was
chaste, replete with good thoughts and
most befitting the occasion. His tribute
to the valor and to the noble deeds of
the heroic dead was calculated to en¬
thuse the living ex-confederates and re¬
freshed their memories with scenes and
events of that battle besprinkled period
of American history when her soil was
profusely stained with the best blood of
her noblest sons.
Owing to th ■ severe freeze just thirty
days previous but few flowers were on
hand to decorate the graves.
The exercises vocal were music. interspersed with
! some The good precision with which
tlie usual
; salute was fired by the Quitman Guards
showed that they are well up in the
manual of arms.
After concluding the memorial exer¬
cises, the ice cream festival at the court
house park for the benefit of the memo¬
rial association was the next point of
rendezvous, where several gallons of
cream were which disposed made of in a short time,
proceeds of a fair addition
to the association's treasury, Thus
ended another memorial day in Forsyth.
Election for Sheriff.
Last Saturday the election for sheriff
and a new court house was held in this
county. There was a good vote yesterday, polled.
On consolidating the returns
the returns from Johnstonville and from
Unionville were not made therefore not
counted.
Geo. W. Newton’s vote from the ten
districts counted was 1,376; J. IL Fletch¬
er’s vote was 730, giving the democratic
candidate a majority of 040 over his pop¬
ulist opponent. Ilad the returns from
the other two districts been received.
Newton’s majority would have been
consideeably increased. counted
The vote on the courthouse as
was 085 for and 1,018 against. Had the
vote from the other districts been re¬
turned and counted the majority against
the court house would have been larger.
As counted there was a majority of 33
against the court house.
The following is the vote by districts:

Memorial Entertainment.
The entertainment at tlie armory of
the Quitman Guards Thursday evening
^ or ^ ie benefit of the Memorial Associa
tiou was quite an enjoyable affair. The
lia11 of lhe armory was filled with peo
P le to witness the entertainment. The
committee appointed to arrange a pro
S vam for the occasion succeeded admir
abl U and the program was well executed,
reflecting credit upon those who took
part in it,
The introduction was a chorus—
“j)j xie ”—sung by about fifteen pretty
misses whose hearts were in the song,
Following that was a song, “God save
Hm Sunny South,” well renderd by Miss
Mary Bowden, one of our sweetest sing
ers.
Thirdly recited appeared Miss Mattie Watts
who “After the Battle” in such
11 manner as to touch the hearts of
her hearers.
Next appeared Miss Talu Fryer in
grand-magarb and entertained the audi
mice with a song, “Grafted into the
Army.”
“All quiet along the Potomac to-night”
was recited by Miss Clifford Moore in a
very pathetic manner,
The soul stiring song, “Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground,” was next splendidly
rendered by Misses Mary Bowden, Mag
Mallory and Mr. Geo. B. Thweatt
with Guitar accompaniment by Miss
Rosa Smith. As the words of the song
fell upon the ears of the old soldiers
present who had tented “on the old camp
ground,” rising it required effort to restrain
the tear.
Then came the closing chorus—“The
Bonnie Blue Flag,” by a number of
young Misses each of whom held aloft a
miniature Flag.
The entertainment was a befitting cli¬
max to the exercises of memorial
♦ O*
New Road Contemplated.
There are a number of changes that
might be made in the public roads of the
county that once made would be of ma
terial benefit to the general public.
Among these is acontemplated new road
from a point on the Cabaniss road beyond
the home of Capt. B. H. Napier on very
nearly a direct line to Indian Springs.
The writer is not familiar with the to¬
pography of that section of the county,
but from the best information we can
get from those familiar with the facts
and circumstances attaching to this
contemplated new road we can but reach
the conclusion that it would be of very
great benefit to the public and especially
to a large number of eitizeus living north
of the Towaliga river. It is claimed that
the opening of said road would bring a
number of those citizens three miles
nearer Forsyth and would shorten the
distance between this point and Indian
Springs about four miles. It is also
claimed that a road opened on the line
co Cemplated would give road a much better
road than any other now leading
from this point into that section of the
county. If these claims be well founded
(and the facts substantiate them) the
opening of that road would be a material
benefit to the public.
But there is one thought in connection
of the opening of new roads in the county
that we would suggest and that is tha‘t
the owners of lands through which these
roads are to pass be not extravagant in
their demands for damages from the
county. Owners of such lands
should bear in mind that they too
are the sharers of whatever bene¬
fits may arise from such new rc.-ds,
and that the consequential demands
attaching through to the running of a public road
a farm now are not what they
were iu the days agoue when every
farmer was required under the state law
ROUND ABOUT IN MONROE.
Traveling round about in different
portions and of the and county, north, south,
cast west, catching a word here
and a word there from this one and
that one, we arc of the opinion that the
gallant gentleman, brave soldier, noble
patriot and courageous warrior Chris¬
tian will be victorious in old Monroe.
Everywhere loud acclaim and from all sides comes
the that the time has not
yet come in Georgia politics; the thought
lias not yet become mature in Georgia
manhood, in southern chivalry and
southern civilization, that because a man
is pure, is a noble Christian without fear
and without reproach, he is unworthy to
be governor of Georgia.
Yes. we heard a prominent gentleman;
yes. we have heard scores of them say
that notwithstanding the combined
rings, the power of the politicians and
those who object to the great and good
man because lie is an exemplary minister;
notwithstanding all these he will be the
next nominee for governor of Georgia.
Already we can hear the glad hurrahs
for the nominee, Gen. Clement A. Evans,
as they resound through the corridors of
the state capitol.
Georgia, Georgians, noble and true, to
the manor born, cannot afford to, and
will not repudiate purity in politics.
Already the tocsin has sounded from the
mountains to the seaboard, from the
Savannah to the Chattahoochee, that
men who aspire to office and trust must
be men of honor and a good record.
We heard a prominent democrat of
Monroe county say that the democratic
party must, and as a matter of justice
and right, over and above the idea of
expediency, put forward her best men
for office. “Yea,” said lie, “it behooves
every party to nominate its best men.
Well did the better element of tliedefho
cratic party repudiate the nomination of
a corrupt judge in New Y T ork. Well did
the courts come to the rescue and gave
McKane, the political corruptionist, his
jUo„ reward- a home behind the prison
bars.”
Thus did this young democrat speak,
as if he meant what he said.
box Yes, and Mr. Editor, purity at the ballot
a fair and conservative settle¬
ment of the financial question is the
very foundation of a republican form of
government; with it wc will have peace
and prosperity; without it we may have
anarchy and revolution.
For the want of these elements, em¬
pires have gone to wreck, kings have
been dethroned, and people once happy
and prosperous have become chaotic and
revoluntionary. Crossing
the Tobesofkee and taking a
stroll down beside its vine clad banks,
brought to memory the happy scenes of
my boyhood days, where oft I was wont
to hunt and fish, little mindful of the
future.
whispered Going through Dillard’s we heard it
that she had a candidate for
representative who would make a win¬
ning race. lie lias a fair record, con¬
servative and honorable and already
holds an office of trust, and most worth¬
ily does lie fill it. Dillard also has other
good legislative timber, although once
used is as good as new.
Rambling through Redbone we find
the farmers up and moving. Some of
the best farmers in the county claim
Redbone as their home and are proud of
it. Some of the best farming lands in
middle Georgia are within her limits.
Redbone is represented in the offices of
her county by three or four of her citi¬
zens, all good and true citizens, Our
efficient tax receiver, our most-worthy
school commissioner, and our safe and
conservative representative have their
homes there.
Prof. Jno. A Danielly, one of the best
young teachers in Monroe county, has
a flourishing Well, the school near Strouds.
court house question is before
the people again. We say let it be built,
and when it is done let it be a good one
—one worthy of the great old county of
Monroe.
In our rambles through the county we
often hear words of px-aise for our effi¬
cient and capable clerk of the city court.
We notice signs of improvement in
Forsyth of which we are glad. We have
a commendable pride in the prosperity
of our county town, and regret to see her
clever and enterprising business men
lose any of their trade by competing
towns.
Now, gentlemen of Forsyth, the way
to hold your trade is to see that the mar¬
ket roads are well worked and kept in
good condition, and open new roads
where they place the citizens nearer
See Forsyth, besides giving better roads.
to this and your trade will increase.
All over the county we hear words of
commendation for the officers who
manage the educational interest of Mon¬
roe county. Taken all together the edu¬
cational status of the county is better
than it has been since the war. More
children are receiving the benefit of the
public funds than ever before, while
there is decidedly less illiteracy than
there has ever been. Teachers, pupils,
patrons and the commissioners are all
moving smoothly along. May it thus
continue.
Adieu, Mr. Editor, till another ramble.
Yours ever, Touesofkee.

Letter From John I. Hall, one of
Georgia’s Most Distinguish¬
ed Lawyers.
Mr. Fhad K. Murphey, Manager Middle
Georgia Department, Northwestern Mu¬
tual Life Ins. Co., Macon Ga.:
,
Dear Sir—I was recently shown by
you a statement, over (he signature
of the Actuary, of the surplus on my
Semi-tontine policy in your company,
and not only was T entirely satisfied
but I was gratified at the splendid
showing made, and l prize my policy
more than ever. 1 carry several
thousand dollars of insurance, have
policies in several companies—the
largest policy with your company—
but yours is the only company that
has ever shown me the progress of
my investment. This action of your
company in furnishing statements
similar to the one shown me on mv
policy is very commendable, and cer¬
tainly proves that the purpose of the
management is to deal fairly with its
policy holders. I regret that I did not
take more insurance on the same
plan in your company years ago. A
policy of insurance of this kind is the
very best investment, in my opinion,
that a young man could make.
T am very truly,
John L Hall.
WHAT ONE OF THE BEST AC¬
COUNTANTS
In the Southern States Says of the
Northwestern Mutual and Its
Perfect System of Keeping
Tontine and Semi-Ton
tine Accounts.
Mr. J. C Courtney, auditor of tlie
Western and Atlantic Railroad Com¬
pany, speaking of his own policy,
says:
Mr._ \V, Woods White, General Agent
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—I have carefully exam¬
ined the memorandum of surplus
arising from my policy No. 122,675 in
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur¬
ance The Company.
statement is exceedingly clear
and satisfactory. It explicitly shows
what my ordinary dividends would
have been from year to year; it shows
the lapse profits from year to year; it
shows tlie loss profits from year to
year, and if shows the interest accu¬
mulations from year to year. This is
of great value to the policy-holder.
He does not have to wait ten, fifteen
or twenty years to know what his
policy is doing.
This method of keeping the ac
counts with tontine and semi-tontine
policy-holders of the Northwestern is
not only very satisfactory to me as a
policy-holder, but it shows tlie evi¬
dent intention of the company to keep
the tontine and semi-tontine surplus
that inviolate, and always in such shape
the policy holder can tell
at any time after three years the COIl
dition of this surplus. If the present
rate is continued the results on my
policy will not only be very large but
exceedingly I satisfactory'.
poration am thoroughly familiar with cor¬
accounts, and it affords me
the greatest pleasure to commend tlie
Northwestern’s open and clear sys¬
tem of keeping tontine and semi-ton¬
tine accounts. I have been a policy¬
holder of the company for a number
of years, and I cordially commend it
as being a company which is conserv¬
atively and wisely managed, and as
a company which makes the largest
possible savings for its policy-holders.
With best wishes.
I am yours truly.
J. C. Courtney.
