fG K1S-H SCHOOL. J
Interesting Closing* Exercises of a
Very Successful Term.
Last attendance Friday night a large crowd was
in upon the closing exercises
of Fleming High school. The program
for the evening consisted of charades,
recitations, tabelaux, music, etc The
very excellent manner in which these
were rendered was evidence of the effi¬
ciency and teaching abilities of Miss Jan
nie Bush who has charge of that splen¬
did school. So well did the various pu¬
pils perform their part that it would be
invidious to make distinction.
The case and grace with which Miss
Bush handles the school and the excel¬
lent training and proficiency of the pupils
designate her as one of Monroe’s best
educators.
This school is located in a splendid
community of good citizens who keep
abrest with the progress of the times on
the educational as well as on all other
lines. Indeed they are citizens of enter¬
prise and they do not propose to lag in
anything, but are keeping well to the
front on all lines as is clearly indicated
by their splendid school, flonrshing
churches, and their prosperous and well
tilled farms. No community in the coun¬
ty gives stronger evidences of progres¬
siveness and enterprise than that of John
stonville. And the foundation of this is
the educational spirit manifested by
those good people.
Without Doubt the Best.
Mr. M. Rufty, Catawba, N. C., Says:
“Mr. W. L. Moore has used Royal Ger
metuer with satisfactory results for a
cancerous tumor on his neck, of several
years standing. It has given universal
satisfaction wherever tried, and is with
out doubt the best proprietary medince
ever sold in this country.” Nothing can
equal it as a blood purifier, as a nerve
tonic anil as a general builder up of tlie
system for all ages and both sexes.

surely tiiumpkant in its results. New

A Pleasant Surprise.
At their pretty home on Railroad Ave¬
nue given Tuesday evening a surprise party was
by Mrs. J. H. Andrews to her hus¬
band. Mrs. Andrews had planned the
party without Mr. Andrews knowing it,
nevertheless Mr. Andrews met and re¬
ceived the guests, as they appeared, with
that hearty cordiality ^characteristic of
him. But when Mrs. Andrews appeared
on the scene, and in’response to her invita¬
tion, the party repaired to the dining
room anil seated themselves around a
a sumptuous repast, Mr Andrews’ sur¬
prise was complete.
The tender affection and wifely hand
of Airs. Andrews was clearly manifest in
all the proceedings and the surprise of Mr.
Andrews was indeed pleasant when lie
reflected that the party was in honor of
his birthday. The evening was quite en¬
joyable to all present.

Seriously Hurt.
On Saturday evening the 25th instant
Mr. J. W. Evans, near Bolingbroke, was
returning home in his buggy accompa¬
nied by a little niece, daughter of Mr. II.
W. Evans, when his horse became
frightened and ran away. After running
some distance the vehicle struck a tree
by the road-side .anil threw both aceu
pants out. The little girl was consider¬
ably bruised but not seriously hurt. It
is supposed that Mr. Evans was thrown
against a tree or other hard substance as
be was instantly rendered unconscious
for the time by the concussion. After
being taken home it was found that he
had received a severe contusion on the
side of the head and one shoulder, and
was severly hurt internally. At last
accounts ultimate apprelieusion Mr. were felt as to his
recovery. Evans is one of
the best citizens of our county.
A Runaway Car.

to conclude that the Ceuteral is a raagni

run on it at rapid speed without steam

DEATH OF W. B. AMOS.
One of Forsyth's Prominent Citizens
Passes Away.
Wednesday evening last, just after the
lingering rays of the setting sun had
ceased to kiss the surrounding hills Mr.
Willie B. Amos departed this life at his
home in this city.
Mr. Amos was born and Knoxville. brought up Ga. to
the years of his youth in
He came to this city in his youth with his
father, Rev. E. M. Amos. Arriving at
his maturity he entered into and was en¬
gaged in the mercantile business for sev¬
eral years. The writer was for a time
associated with him in business and
found him to be a thorough business man
of the utmost integrity.
For the past ten or twelve years he has
managed the agency of several tire insur¬
ance companies in this city and has done
the principal lire insurance business and
in a most satisfactory manner. He was
and a true friend, decided in his convictions
loyal to duty in every relation of
life.
He united himself with the Missionary
Baptist church in his young manhood amt
was true and faithful to his religious du¬
ties and convictions to the end. As a
deacon of the church and Sunday school
and superintendent lie was truly diligent
faithful. As a citizen he was true
and steadfast in the advocacy of whatever
tended to the general good.
The funeral services at the Baptist
church at 3 o’clock Thursday evening
were attended by a number of friends and
were conducted by Rev. M. II. Lane as¬
sisted by Rev. C. A. Turner, of Macon,
who pronounced an impressive eulogy
upon the deceased, after Oakland which the re¬
mams were escoi ted to cemetery
and placed at rest in the family burial
lot.
He leaves a widow, three sons, two
married daughters and a multitude of
friends to mourn his death. The Adver¬
tise!'. joins the entire community in ex¬
tending sympathy to the bereaved family.
Up to Time.
The advantage that one industry locality has the
over another in the peach is
early ripening of the fruit. This is quite
an advantage because the first peaches put
on the prices, markets therefore generally the better command the
best remuner¬
ation.
As an evidence that Monroe county is
up to time with other localities in Geor¬
gia in this particular, Mr. W. H. Ash¬
worth exhibited sample peaches gathered
from a tree in his orchard in this city on
Wednesday last ripe enough to ship.
And peaches can be grown to ripeness on
a thousand trees or any other number of
trees of the same variety as soon as on
one tree.
This ;result of Mr. Ashworth’s effort
with the forward peaches shows that
Monroe county poachers can place ripe
peaches in the markets in the month of
May. And especially is this fact demon¬
strated when it is remembered that the
present spring has been unusually cool
on account of which the growth of vege¬
tation generally and of fruits of all kinds
have been more or less retarded.
Monroe county is indeed the home of
the very best demonstrated qualities of the peach as
has been for more than a
half century, and the only reason why

growers in can place ripe peaches in the
markets the month of May, and there¬
fore stands in thc front mark, as to adapt¬

Hilliard Institute to be Improved.
The plans, drawn by Architect Stew¬
Institute art. of Atlanta, for remodeling Hilliard
hoard building, have been approved
by the of trustees anil the fund
necessary for completing the work,
amounting to several thousand dollars,
has been raised, and in a few days the
buzz of saws and the rattle of mechanics
hammers will make music in that com¬
munity, as thc work will be pushed for¬
ward. The plan is well designed and in
harmony with the demands of modern
educational facilities.
The walls of the present building will
be made six feet higher, thc floors elevat¬
ed two feet, and a two-story annex thir¬
ty-live feet square attached to the north
side and a modern and attractive front on
the south side. This will give ample
seating and class room capacity for a very
lrrge school. The interior arrangements
are the splendidly comfort and designed with a view to
convenience of both
teachers and pupils, and in accord with
the demands for mixed school buildings.
When completed the architectural feat¬
ures of the building will be such as to
make its external appearance quite im¬
posing and attractive. The building will
have a splendid and capacious hall ar¬
ranged with a special view to modern re¬
quirements.
The trustees, as guardians of this inter¬
est, are actuated by a spirit of progress,
and will put beflind the mixed school the
splendid facilities that our education¬
al interests demand. With a splendidly
arranged anil attractive building and a
superb corps of educators in charge, the
co-education system will be inaugurated
in Forsyth on a high plane and will move
onward and upward to the accomglisli
ment of its mission, which is to become
the splendid educational nursery of our
children anil a faithful feeder of our col¬
leges.
Put in Peas.
Notwithstanding the benefits attaching
to the crop, the farmers of this section
have not for a number of years giveu
the cultivation of the pea much attention.
This too in the face of the fact that it is
known and generally conceded that the
expense merly attaching to the growing of peas
is nominal. When planted with
tlie corn no additional labor is, as a gen¬
eral thing, planted incurred. So the value of the
peas anil the planting of them is
about the only expense attaching until
the peas are ready to be harvested. And
it is conceded over-balanced by good farmers that this
expense is bv tlie benefit

The news of the death of Judge Gilbert
J. Wright, which occurred at four o’clock
yesterday morning, carried sadness to his
many friends.
On the 17th ultimo, while on the streets,
lie was stricken with vertigo and taken
to his home. From that time he gradu¬

had crossed the line of three score and

Prohibition Ball in Motion.
The state having been divided into dis
tricts, Athens and Macon, begin the grand
work of crushing out the saloons. The
passage of the Bush bill now pending be¬
fore the legislature is the undivided
sentiment of the temprance organization
which will be the strongest when all her
forces have been concentrated, the state
lias ever bad. It was indeed a great
pleasure to be in Macon and hear the
subject so ably discussed, and all looking
to the very foundation. Barrooms with
their dirty work of making drunkards,
must go, root and branch.
Our chairman, C. It. Pringle, has done
a great deal for Georgia on this line.
Noble man he is. lie has never wavered,
will never surrender.
Dr. Monk is a great man indeed, not so
much for his perfect oratory and happy,
well fiting remarks, as for hia unwaver¬
ing principles to do right. In his speech
of welcome he wanted to know what the
delegates have came for. Said he, “if you
come for our pretty women, our
good men and boys, you are not welcome.
and But city if you want our barrooms, bid drunkards hear¬
welcome government, and we you a
ty will pay all expenses of
delivery.” I
was glad to hear the talk of that
superior women, Mrs. Walter B. Hill,
She is president, as many know of the
W. C. T. U. She pledges the work of her
noble band in co-operating with the con¬
vention.
In conclusion, allow me to say that my
wishes and my prayers have been for a
long time, to live to see the whiskey
business under proper control.

ternoon, was the saddest that lias ever
occurr ed in Monticello. Dr. Smith was
and the rising young physician of our town,
in his death not only is the dear,
happy home broken, but the church has
lost one its gilded pillars, the medical
society fraternity one of its true co-workers, and
one of its best, purest citizens. Dr.
Smith was a graduate of Emory college,
the State Medical college at Augusta, and
attended a course of medical lectures in
New Orleans before locating in our town.
At the time of his death he was a mem¬
ber of the board of trustees of the Mon
ticcllo High School, secretary and treas¬
urer of the Jasper County Medical Asso¬
ciation and medical examiner of the
Knights of Damon. He was a prominent
member of the Methodist church, a man
of vigorous intellect and strong convic
charity pooiytattf to_ cast 4tHni thc ft g ma Jjature• ntel (, f

grim, monster, death, lias placed
his seal, and no more will we see his
genial face or hear thc gentle voice that
always carried sunshine into the heart
of those with whom he associated.
The handsome casket containing the

and friendship.
The funeral service held at the Metho¬
dist church Sunday afternoon, conducted

Miss Lane’s Concert.
The Jacksonville, (Ala.) Republican of
last Saturday says:
“All those who attended the concert at
the college last Thurday evening have
passed the most enthusiastic compli¬
ments upon Miss Uniline Lane for tho
progress which her music pupils made
duiing the past session, and on tho sue
cess of her concert.
Mingled with the many nice things said
of Miss Lane in connection with her class
and concert, are expressions of sincere
regret that she will not have charge of
the music department of the .State Nor¬
mal School at its next session. She lias
given perfect satisfaction as a teacher,
and if the vote of every patron of tho
school could retain her, she would not
go away. She is universally loved by
the people of Jacksonville; is a thorough¬
ly which competent teacher, and the school
has secured her service for the
next year is to be congratulated

“On Tuesday evening, the college hall
was filled by an immense audience, which
assembled to hear the concert by the
music class of Miss Undine Lane. Miss
Lane’s musical accomplishments, and the
fame she has justly won as an instructor,
had prepared all who had come out for a
musical treat. Nor were they disapoint
ed. From the time the accompanist
struck the keys in the opening chorus,
until the close of the program, the au¬
dience was held in rapt attention, and
its delight was frequently manifested by
bursts of applause and repeated en
chores.”

“Miss Louise Lane, in her recitation
of Merdith’s “Aux Italiens,” thoroughly
captivated the audience. Her charming and
grace expressive gestures, and gentle
sympathetic voice make her an elocution¬
ist of extraordinary powers.”
Miss Lane is reputed as a most excel¬
lent teacher and will have charge of the
musical department of Monroe Female
College next term.
