Fishing Party.
Messrs. Last Thursday J. Capt. J. M. Bonder and
II. Huddleston,J. H. Andrews
and Geo. T. Brown returned home after
spending ten days at Iola, on Dead Lake,
Fla. They spent their stay there in fish¬
ing and fun, and after the magnificent
success had, they are prepared to pro¬
nounce Dead Lake the best fishing
grounds they have ever seen. They
boat went down via Columbus, Ga., and by steam¬
the Chattahoochee and Apa
lachacola rivers, which they pronounce
a most delightful and enjoyable trip.
While angling on the lake, among the
fish caught were trouts weighing from
six to eight pounds, besides large fisli of
other varieties. They were so delighted
that they propose to repeat the trip next
season. The only thing that marred the
trip in the least, was that Mr. Brown
sprained his ankle severely while on the
return home.

GOOD, PURE AND SPARKLING
WATER.
So Say the Voters of Forsyth—A
Spirit of Enterprise Manifested
by Our Citizens Last Friday.
The election for establishing water¬
works in the city engaged the attention
of our city voters on Friday evening.
The question had been pretty thoroughly
discussed previously and the voters gen¬
erally were prepared the to cast their bal¬
lots. Nevertheless advocates of wa¬
terworks, believing that the good enterprise
if put on foot would bring results
to the city, were desirous that the voters
should decide in favor of the same, and
were, therefore, active in their endeavors
to secure the vote necessary to carry the
enterprise to a consummation. This
made the election a matter of sonic in¬
terest, and hence the little battle was
fought with some zeal. The election,
nevertheless, was peaceable and quiet,
such as usually characterize our and city.
When the contest was over the
ballots counted, it was found that 110
votes had been deposited in favor of es¬
tablishing and the waterworks and 33 against
them, that 82 ballots were cast favor¬
ing electric lights and 00 against them.
So the waterworks movement was rati¬
fied by the voters, but th° electric lights
were defeated.
Under this decision the probabilities
are that Forsyth will soon have water¬
works, thereby giving her good five fa¬
cilities, which is a great desideratum.
Besides it shows that the spirit of pro¬
gress and enterprise is still alive among
our people.

A Trip Into the Country.
Friday morning the opportunity was
presented to the writer to take a trip
into the country and to the tramping
grounds of his childhood and boyhood
clays.
Taking, while passing, a birds-eye
glance over the hills and dales upon
which we roamed, sported and played in
the days of long ago, many incidents of
our young life were brought up in mem¬
ory. As we looked out upon those
grounds and reviewed tho happy hours
and golden opportunities of those child¬
hood days, we could but note the mighty
changes that time had wrought since
childhood then. Looking upon and further the spot of our
home, on upon
that of our boyhood home, we saw in
memory’s vision father and mother,
brothers and sisters, seated around the
family heartli-stone amid peace and plen¬
ty, under the chandelier of a liappyfying
prosperity, ail joyous and happy; but
with sion the rapidity of telephonic transmis¬
came the present reality that one
brother lies, a soldier dead, that three
others have passed away through the
shadows of death, and that father and
mother have long been resting in their
angel home awaiting the coming of the
children.
Where then stood the original forests,
with their giant monarclis,through which
we gamboled in sportive glee, are now
to be seen no trace of those monarchs of
the woods, but the bosom of the earth
made bare by the continued pushing of
the plow-share. Y'es, in looking over
these hills that were familiar in the long
ago, change, mighty change was visible
everywhere. But we did not propose to
moralize.
Noting the farms, farm operations and
growing crops we found the prospect
quite fair. The crops generally were
in good condition. Corn, in the main, is
small erally but looking well. Cotton,was gen¬
quite along the route traveled, looking
well, and in some instances was
wliat might be termed quite promising,
while there were good evidences that the
farmers had been and were stirring, and
wei’e of pushing with energy the cultivation
their crops. But little wheat was
seen and that not promising. The oats
promised a reasonably fair crop.
Good rains had fallen previously, and
on that day heavy rains fell in some sec
tions through which we passed. So the
crop outlook we considered fair.
Look After the Pea Crop.
Every farmer will readily admit that a
pea crop is a valuable acquisition on the
farm, and it is universally conceded that
such crop can be produced with very lit¬
tle additional expenses attaching to the
cultivation of the farm. Especially is
this true if the peas be planted among
tbe corn. And the present is an appro¬
priate time for planting peas in the corn
rows. the Besides, when plowing the com
last time, a supply of peas sown
broadcast among the com will necessi¬
tate but little additional work, and will
be no obstacle to a good yield of com,
while it may bring an abundant crop of
peas. Peas will feed men, will feed
cows, and will make fat hogs in the eaily
fall, while the vegetable matter in the
vines will prove beneficial to the lands.
Therefore sow peas in the morning, sow
peas at the noontide, that you may go
forth at the harvest season aud bring in
the peas.

ATKINSON WINS.
He’s Monroe’s Choice for Governor
by a Majority of 65 Votes.
Six o’clock Saturday evening closed a
warmly contested primary election in
this county to ascertain whether the
county should send to the gubernatorial
convention Evans delegates or Atkinson
delegates. For some time it has been
known that this county has been fighting
ground as between the two candidates,
and conceded that the race would be
reasonably leaders close. So for three weeks the
of the respective candidates in
the county have been marshalling their
forces and getting- ready for the contest.
At 1 o’clock p. m., Saturday, the con¬
testants were at the various voting places
in the comity, and at 0 o’clock the last
ballot bad been cast and tlio question as
to the voting settled. The surmises and
guesses as to which candidate would
lead were numerous, and many friends
of each candidate manifested more or less
anxiety as to the final result or summing
up of the ballots.
The returns from the various precincts
will not be consolidated until noon to¬
day, but reports gathered from those
precincts thus far, show Atkinson’s ma¬
jority in the county to be about 05.
The results of the primaries held in
the state last Saturday, according to re¬
ports, makes the Atkinson delegates 32,
and Evans delegates 24.
Legislators Next.
The contest for the nomination of Gov¬
ernor being over in this attention county, the next
question to engage the of the
voters doubtless will be, "Who shall be
the next representatives from Monroe to
the legislature ?”
whom Madam has rumor has spotted several
she booked as aspirants for
that honor, but as yet Mr. J. O. Holmes
is the only one who has made the an¬
nouncement of his candidacy in the
formal way.
Monroe county has never seen tho
time since her original organization when
she couuld not furnish a supply of good
legislative material, as the record of the
history of her representatives in the gen¬
eral assembly will show. She has a num¬
ber of good men now who would well
and faithfully represent her in that body,
and we arc glad to know that some of
that class are willing to serve her in that
ize capacity. But we forbear to individual¬
or personate, lest we might be
charged with presuming to dictate to the
voters of the county on this matter, and
especially as we presume those seeking
that honor will make their wants in that
particular however, known soon.
We, suggest that Monroe
select good, efficient and wide awake
representatives to the next legislature,as
matters of very grave importance to the
peojrle will be before that body for con¬
sideration. To handle those matters
with ability and for the best interest of
the people will require the combined
wisdom of prudent and good legislators.
When public servants are to be selected
for such, personal or kindred considera¬
tions should be laid aside and the public
interest regarded.
The time now is when the shaping of
legislation should be placed in the hands
of conservative, able and good men, fit¬
ted and equipped for such important
work, and when the selection of our law
makers should not be in any wise con¬
trolled by partisan spirit. Such methods
in sections of this Union in the past have
brought upon the people crops of evil
from which they are now struggling to
extricate themselves.
Who and how many in our county may
offer for this honor we know not, nor
would we intimate who should, but Jin
this connection we call attention to the
announcement of Mi. J. O. Holmes in
this paper. Mf. Holmes is one of our
substantial citizens, is a practical and
prosperous business man, and is from a
section of the county that has not asked
many honors at the hands of the people.
Farmers Rushing Farm Work.
The political gathering here on Wed¬
nesday brought farmers from every sec¬
tion of the county. From interviews
with them we learned that rain had been
pretty general in the county, though in
some sections not enough had fallen.
A summary of the various reports de¬
veloped the fact that there is slight in¬
crease in the acreage of corn over last
year, and that the acreage in cotton is
about tbe same.
The four weeks of dry weather which
prevailed through the latter part of
April and up to the 13th inst., had ena¬
bled the farmers to put the farming lands
in good condition, while in some instancs,
however, it has held back the stands of
cotton. The general report was that
far.ii work was well up, and that both
corn and cotton were growing off nicely,
hence it may be said that the outlook for
these two crops at present is reasonably
fair.
The small grain crops generally were
reported not promising. Judging from
the reports in the Weather Crop Bulletin
of the loth inst., the same crop condi¬
tions exists throughout the state, except
in a few localities where rain had not
fallen.

ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD
GREETED HON. W. Y. ATKIN¬
SON LAST WEDNESDAY.
He’s a Brilliant Talker, Having
Entertained His Hearers Two
Hours and Twenty Minutes.
day Wednesday for last had been set apart as
a lion. W.Y. Atkinson to appear
before the people of Monroe and address
them on the issues of the day. The day
was bright and clear, and at a reasonably
early around hour the people of the couimy
began to come into the city. Mr.
Atkinson was expected on the 10
o’clock, a. ni., train, and at that
hour a good number of his friends
assembled at the depot to welcome bis
coming. Barnesville’s splendid band
came to make the music of the occasion.
Reaching the depot Mr. Atkinson was
welcomed with a hearty cheer from his
friends, and was escorted by bis commit¬
tee to a nice turnout that stood in wait¬
ing for him. A conveyance for the band
was also in wai ting, and when the speaker
had been seated in the carriage and the
band in the wagon,the procession moved
forward to the Hooks House, where Mr.
Atkinson made his headquarters. After
a short rest at the hotel, lie, accompa¬
nied by his escort and preceded by the
landed band, took a drive through the city and
at the court house, where, ac¬
cording to an impartial estimate, three
or four hundred people, including the
ladies, had assembled to hear the ad¬
dress.
Ascending the rostrum amid cheers
from his followers, Mr. Atkinson was in¬
troduced to his audience by lion. J. If.
Phinazee in a few appropriate remarks.
Thereupon ed the speaker and address¬
ly his hearers, among whom was a good¬
number of Evans followers, for a little
over two hours and twenty minutes.
As lie proceeded in his remarks it was
seen by newspaper readers that he was
repeating liis Millen speech delivered
about two weeks ago, which was much
more replete with criticisms upon Gener¬
al Ryans than with argument touching
the questions that are of importance to
the people. The animus, spirit and sub¬
stance of bis speech tended to drive far¬
ther from him the friends of General
draw Evans, closer while it was not calculated to
to him many of his own fol¬
lowers.
While the speech was chiefly a repeti¬
tion of his Millen speech, it was spiced
with several charges against General
Evans, designed, doubtless, to catch a
few votes, which charges have no back¬
ing or foundation to sustain them. At
the close of his address the speaker was
warmly here. greeted by his stronger support¬
ers
After listening attentively to the speech
and noticing, as well as we could, the
impress made upon the people, our con¬
clusion was that the fruits from it, as
from many campaign speeches, were not
abundant.
Mr. Atkinson, with a number of bis
friends, House, was entertained at the Ilooks
and at 6:30 p. m. lie took tho
train for other fields, Thus ended an
other campaign day in Forsyth.

The following good points of advice
are going the rounds of the press:
Don’t fail to sound its praises wherever
you may be.
Don’t make your money out of home
people and spend it somewhere else.
Don’t frown on every public improve¬
ment, dollar simply because it will cost vou a
or so.
Don’t sneer at the efforts of your fel¬
low-citizens to build up the town, but
lend a helping hand yourself.
Don’t talk a great deal about what
should be done, and then remain on the
back seat waiting for some one else to
do it.
Don’t say a board of trade is “no good
on earth” until you can prove it by sta¬
tistics.
Don’t stay at home on election day,
but get out and "hustle” for good men
and good government.
