A Pleasant Occasion.
An elegant luncheon complimentary
to Miss Carrie Taylor, of Macon, was
had at the home of Captain and Mrs. T.
M.Brantley on Railroad Avenue on Thurs¬
day last, and was a most pleasant occa¬
sion. Those who were present and took

were: Mr. and Airs. T. M. Callaway, Mrs.
T. E. Fletcher, Misses Bessie Ponder,
Susie Taylor, of Americus; Clifford Na¬
pier, Sallie Evans, Sarah Habersham,

Barnesville and Forsyth.
Wednesday evening a game of baseball
was played in this city between a select
team from Barnesville and a picked nine
from Forsyth. They met at the diamond
on the plateau near Judge Stone’s resi¬
dence about 3}., o’clock, and spent about
two hours in the tilt. Some good plays
were made by both teams, and the con¬
test was carried on pleasantly.
When the game was called and scores
footed up, if was found that the result
was 19 to 18 in favor of Barnesville.
Barnesville sent down a good team
composed of nice young men, who always
meet with a warm welcome from our
people.

Quite a Change.
Three weeks ago there was considera¬
ble apprehension among many farmers in
this section relative to the crop prospect.
Then serious fears were entertained that
the corn crop especially would be a fail¬
ure. More or less despondency could be
read in the faces of the farmer!?. But
during these three weeks plenteous rains
have fallen, ami reports arc coming from
all sections of the county that the corn
crop is good and that the cotton is prom¬
ising. Farmers are wearing brighter
smiles and their hopes of a good harvest
are stronger. Side crops, too. such as
peas, potatoes, late corn patches, Ac., are
vigorous and healthy and in fine growing
condition and promise good results. Such
at present is the outlook of the farming
operations of this section.
Politics This Week
As next Saturday is the day set for
holding the legislative, and we might say
senatorial, primary, this promises to be
an active week with the candidates and
their friends. The six candidates for the
legislature will be on the move to see as
many of their friends as possible and to
straighten up everything bearing upon
their candidacy. The friends and sup¬
porters of the various candidates too, will
no doubt be on the move to aid in fur
thering the chances of their choice of the
| candidates. Likewise the claims of Hons,
j A, O. Bacon and L. F. Garrard will be
! ventillated among the people, and the
nomination of eaeli advocated by then
respective advocates. Hence, Alonroe,
this week, will no doubt be converted
into a political bee-hive.
The Tent Meeting.
On Tuesday last Rev. J. W. Blosser,
the evangelist, pitched his gospel tent in
this city and began a senes of meetings,
At the first service ou Tuesday night.
wbich was a mere pre unmary talk, a fair
congregation was in attendance. Since
then good congregations increasing as the
meeting progressed, have been attending.
The meeting is being run on the usual
evangelistic plan, and ad denominations
aie affiliating m the woik. All. Blossei
is a fine pulpit talker ana is giving the
people some good sermons. He is being
aided by a strong corps of our best sing
ers aud the music is soul stirring. Two
daily services are beiug held, one at 9
a. m. and 8 p. m. The tent has a seating
capacity of 800 or 1000. As the meeting
progresses and it Lopes is apparently entertained growing that in ia
terest, are its
results will be an itundant and good
fruitage.
Continued Rains.
Fears are now being expressed by j
some of our farming people that the con¬
tinued showers of rain may bring hurt¬
ful results to the cotton crop. The ex¬
treme vigor and growth that lias been
put into the weed by the. frequent rains
may possibly cause some shedding, but
farmers will remember that more or less
shedding always follows when a super¬
abundant crop of fruit is taken on by the
growing cotton.
Owing to this condition of the crop
and the prospect of continued rains there
is some apprehension as to the future of
the cotton.
Senatorial Candidates.
Hon. L. F. Garrard, candidate for the
United States senate, addressed our citi¬
zens yesterday on the great political
questions engaging their attention. Not.
withstanding the weather was uninvit¬
ing all the available seats in the court¬
room were occupied by his hearers
who gave the speaker a patient hearing.
Whether or not Mr. Garrard increased
his chances for the senate in this county
is a question we are not prepared to pass
upon. His position on leading national
questions is sound, and if he is to be
judged by the views he presented he
would no doubt make a safe legislator.
Hon. A. O. Bacon is booked to address
the people of Monroe tomorrow at 11
o’clock a. m. on the issues of the day,
and he too, no doubt will receive a
patient hearing from our people.
----
A Brilliant Wedding.
One of the most brilliant home wed¬
dings that lias occurred in this county
in many months was that on Wednesday
evening last at the elegant country home
of Mr. John II. Alott, of Johnstonville,
about ten miles north of this city.
The contracting parties were A1 iss Irene,
the lovely daughter of Air. Alott, to Air.
I. L. Lindsay, a prominent and popular
young planter of Ellaville.
The ceremony, which was beautiful in
every detail, was impressively performed
by Rev. Ralph Hunt. The attendants
were Air. T. J. Oglctree with Aliss Lena
Fleming, Air. Lem Alexander with Miss
Alary Huddleston, Air. Earnest AI. Smith,
with Aliss Lucy Head, Air. W. T- Smith
with Aliss Hattie Head. After the cere¬
mony the happy couple left for Ellaville,
tlieir future home, carrying with them
the best wishes of a host of loving friends.
Attend the Primary.
Don’t fail to attend the primary elec¬
tion next Saturday evening to nominate
democratic candidates for the legislature.
Each voter should bear in mind the fact
that there are six candidates seeking the
nomination, and that if he fails to attend
the election and cast his ballot his choice
may be defeated. Ordinarily there is
more or less apathy upon the part of
many voters relative to attending prima¬
ry elections.
Under the resolutions of the democratic
executive committee the polls at the
voting places in the county will open at
2 o’clock p. m. and close at 6 p. m.. Let
each and every qualified yoter in the
county be at the polls within those hours
and vote for the two men of his choice.
It is hoped, too, that each voter will avail
himself of the opportunity to declare on
his ballot his choice for United States
senator. Go to the polls next Saturday
aud vote.
Tacky Party.
Tuesday evening last, Air. and Airs.
C. B. Alexander, tendered their spacious
parlors to their beautiful little daughter,
| Hazel, who complimented her numerous
little friends with a “tacky party, which
was in every particular one of the most
amusing and interesting little social
affairs of the season. Four prizes were
offered, two to the girls and two to the
boys. The first prize to the girls was
awarded to Aliss Lizzie Thomas and the
j sec011( ] was awar ded to Aliss Lois Caba
; niss _ T]je first pr j ze to t j, c boys was
won by Master John Banks and the sec
0 nd by Master Charlie Ponder. Promptly
at 10 0?clock delicious refreshments were
j served consisting of cream , sberbert,

The District Conference.
It was the privilege of the writer to
attend the district conference of the M.
E. Church at Griffin last week.
Thursday morning we boarded the
north bound train at 9 o’clock and after
one hour’s travel landed at Griffin. In
passing we took a glance at the crops
and from a rapidly passing train they
generally appeared to be good. Abun¬
dant rains liad fallen along the route and
the corn and cotton appeared to be vigoi
ous and healthy.
On the train we found the delegates from
several charges in the county on their
way to conference.
Arriving at Griffin we proceeded direct¬
ly to the Methodist church where vve
found the conference assembled and
about ready for work. In a short time
the organization was had and the body
proceeded at once to business. At 11
o’clock a recess was taken until 3:20 p.
m. when Prof. Dickie, of Emory College,
entered the pulpit and gave the confer¬
ence an able discourse in an introductory
sermon. Prof. Dickie ranks among the
ablest young preachers of Georgia.
Under the presidency of Presiding Elder
J. S. Bryan the business of the confer¬
ence was disposed of with prudent dis¬
patch. At 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. each day
devotioual«service was had and the con¬
gregation enjoyed the splendid sermons,
and it is hoped that abundant good fruits
will grow out of the meeting of the con¬
ference.
The delegates found Grifiin hospitality
not only broad but unbouudedjwhicli,
added to the benefits from the confer¬
ence, made their sojourn there exceed¬
ingly pleasant. It was the writer’s good
fortune to find quarters in the splendid
Christian home of Judge C. II. Johnson,
where exceeding kindness, courtesy and
a splendid hospitality was extended him
and his stay thereby made most pleasant
and enjoyable. There is a sweet Chris¬
tian influence about that home that can
be both seen and felt.
The reports from the various charges
in the district were gratifying and the
labors of the conference harmonious.
After completing its work the conference
adjourned Saturday evening to meet
next year with Arnold church in the
Culloden circuit which will be a depart¬
ure from its hitherto custom of meeting
in the towns exclusively.
-
Revision of the Jury Box.
Next Alouday the board of jury revisors
will meet to again revise the jury box of
this county, the last revision being had
two years ago. This is a work of impor¬
tance as well as responsibility, and never
fails to meet with much criticism. In
referring to this matter permit us to say
what we have said before, that the law
providing the board of jury revisors is to
an extent defective. This conclusion we
reached from an experience on the board.
This defect arises from not providing for
a sufficient number of revisors.. To carry
out the requirements of law prescribing
the duties of the revisors necessitates
the appointment of one revisor from each
district in the county. A board of revis¬
ors thus composed would be able to
more fully and more completely comply
with the demands of the law. .Such a
board would be more efficient and more
able to pass upon the competency and
qualification of the jurors in all tho dis¬
tricts of the county.
We are aware that some opposition to
thus enlarging the board might be en¬
countered upon the idea of increasing
the expense, but this idea is easily refut¬
ed when it is remembered that sixteen
revisors can do the work in one day,
whereas it now requires four days for six
to make the revision as it should be.
This being true, and there is little if any
doubt of its truthfulness, sixteen revis¬
ors would accomplish the work and do it
much more effectually and more in har
mony with the intent of the law at one
third less expense than is required for
^ six revisors. We mention these facts
Ui order that our citizens may think on
them. It is a matter that might be con
sidered by our representatives in the leg
islature.
Political Speaking
—
Jud 3 e Stone will address the
Democratic voters of Monroe county, as
f °Dows:
Johnstonville district. Rumble’s store,
at Gogginsville, Thursday, August 2nd,
at 3 o’clock ]>. m.
Forsyth, court house, Aug. 3rd, at 8
o’clock p. m.
The democratic voters of the county
are specially invited to be present and
hear Judge .Stone on the issues involved
in bis campaign as a candidate for the
legislature, in the democratic primary to
be held on August 4th, 1894.
MR. R. C. McGOUGH.
Ain. Editor T wish, through your
excellent journal, to say a few words
in commendation of my friend and neigh¬
bor, Mr. R. C. McGougli, who is before
our people as a candidate for the legisla¬
ture. An honest man is nature’s noble¬
man and always commands respect and
esteem. When one, such as lie, comes
forward to serve his people in public life,
his friends should all rally to his support
and do him honor.
Twenty-live years ago, I moved where
I now live, among comparative strangers.
One of the first men to extend to me a
neighborly in welcome and show kindness
and my during new home, was R. C. McGougli,
all these years 1 have found
him, as a friend and neighbor, all that
any one could wish. Ilis line character
has peculiarly impressed me, and the
motto which seems to dominate his life
lias always been “justitia si coelum mat.”
I can and do most heartily recommend
him to the voters of Monroe county as a
man in every way well qualified to serve
them in the legislature with credit and
honor to them and Monroe county. I
don’t think, to take him all and all, there
is a better equipped man in the county,
lie possesses in an eminent degreo those
qualities which should make him honor¬
ed among men. Of rare mental powers
and extensive learning as well as legal
training, lie would make us a superior
representative, questions able to cope with all
that puzzle the brains of our
solons. lie is the very soul of honor and
therefore to be trusted. He is one of the
people, identified with them and having
tlioir interests at heart, and I am sure
he’d stand by the interest of his constitu¬
ents to bis death.
I earnestly ask all my friends to work
for him and support him at the polls.
He is not an office-seeker. Ilis friends
forced him into the race because they
recognized place and his peculiar fitness for the
knew his sterling worth and
high sense of honor. He is one of the
most modest, retiring and unassuming
men I ever knew—conscientious, chari¬
table aud always ready and willing to
help his neighbors and friends when in
need of help.
This tribute to his truth and worth
will surprise him as he knows nothing
of my purpose, but I take this public
method to speak of him to my friends
and the county generally because I know
what I say is true. The|long time lie has
been my friend and neighbor has been
indeed a touchstone to prove his real
merit. J. II. Sutton.
A CARD.
Mr. Jno. A, Dannielly—My Dual
Fkiend :—I read some time ago, with
much pleasure, your article in tho Ar>
vebtisek, in which you spoke in compli¬
mentary terms of my friend, Air, R. C.
AIcGougli, who is now a candidate for
the legislature.
I have lived a near neighbor to Air.
AIcGougli for a number of years. Those jr
that know him best appreciate him most.
Every neighbor or every democrat in his
district will vote for him. Air. McGougli
is a practical farmer and one that lias
made a success of his business. lie
would represent the agricultural interest
as well as the interest of all others, with
credit to himself and the people, and
more, lie is perhaps the best read or best
informed man, in a general way, in our
county. As to liis capacity to represent
Monroe, none will doubt it that know
him. ,
Air. McGougli is a quiet lassuming
man. Kind-hearted, a go cm neighbor,
