Forsyth has a new paper called the Monroe Journal. The cotton receipts are beginning to show a great falling off. By all means Georgia should be represented at the World’s Fair. Prudence and economy must gov ern business transactions next year, else the times will continue to be “tight.” ' The work of securing funds to in sure a Georgia exhibit at the World’s Fair will soon be commenced in eacli county of the state. There are about ISO widows in Mus cogee county who will be pensioned. Each of these will receive $100, which will make Muscogee’s share of the fund $12,000. _ The local option election in Dooly resulted in a great victory for the prohibitionists, the county going dry by over a thousand majority. The negroes voted practically for prohibi tion. __ James Hamrick, who for a long time lived at Carrollton, but who for several vears past lias been living in Villa Rica, although now nearly 90 yearsof age,married Wednesday night. The lady lives in Polk county. Tlie candidacy of Hon. Evan P. Howell for the Governorship of Georgia is not a settled fact, but there is every probability that Mr. Howell’s friends will do everything in their power to push him in the race. Money has been tight in Georgia but your Uncle Bob Hardeman is bolding his own in the State treasury. The receipts from general taxes so far show a total of $313,842.34, us against $803,881.34. The State fi nances are all right. The common schools of Georgia next year will receive from the State $1,175,000, which will be an increase of about $52,000 over the present year. State School Commissioner Bradwell says this amount will pro vide for a five months’ term. Congressman Blount, chairman of the committee on foreign relations is entitled to a clerk whose salary is $2,000 per annum. Mr. Blount has ten dered the position to a prominent young lawyer in his district. B. S. Willingham, Esq., of Forsyth, who has accepted. Whooping cough, croup, sore throat, sudden colds, and lung troubles peculiar to children, are easily controlled by promptly ad ministering Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. • This remedy is safe to take, certain in its action, and adapted to aH con stitutions. _ The Louisville Courier-Journal sends forth this encouraging advice: “Don’t dwell unnecessarily upon your ‘loses during the year.’ If you have life and health and home and dear ones left roll up your sleeves and be gin the year courageously. Millions of men have thus met misfortunes and mastered them. Dwell on the dark side only long enough to learn its les son; then turn and close the book. Nothing is more unprofitable to the mind than brooding over past defeats.” Electric Bitters. and white, make their own supplies and as a surplus make as much cot ton as they can.

The result is soon seen in woman’s i idea of man, and she becomes, if not course in her feelings toward him, she feels an- independence of him j which makes her less refined anil less admired.

Choose your life work und let that educate you. In loving service our natures are trained, disciplined, and educated. Expan sion of sympathy enlightens the mind, and the education of the heart is necessary to a woman in fulfilling her whole duty to God and to man kind. This simple little speech received more applause than did any that pre ceded it. Mrs Clymer could not forget that she was a woman, and that love is a woman’s forte. (i. Lady Somerset said: “The world is waking up to the great difference between woman's position now from the position she formerly held. No one would dare utter now deny the proposition? State it these simple words, if any farmer raises home supplies enough to fur nish his family with, will not his cot ton crop be a surplus to furnish what money he may need? If this is ad mitted, put it into practical opera tion at once. Don’t go to calcula ting on paper, how much corn will my land make per acre, and how much cotton will the same acres pro duce? Calculations of this sort, will lead to the raising of cotton to tee ex clusion of other crops. If you will make figures and compare results, make a calculation of this kind, “here are — hogs, that will net me, when it is cold enough to kill them, lbs of meat, every barn and crib on my place is filled with com, fodder, oats and hay, more than enoug.i for all the place, I have enough wheat on band to bread the family, that little house in the yard has enough syrup barrelled up for use for the coming year, I have sold bales of cotton to buy some little things for the girls and as tire price don’t suit me, I am saving the balance of the crop for better prices. Such a farmer is independent of al- save the providences of an allwise God. X. X. X. * ♦ * The Evil of Substitution. Do you ever think when buying a patent medicine that you take chances of being imposed upon by mercenary and unscrupulous deal ers? If you demand time-tried and stood-the-test medicines you take no chances; if you take a substitute you may be putting poison into your system that will result, in temporary relief and the subsequent wrecking of your health forever. Think it over. Did you ever hear a complaint about Dr. Pierce’s Mediciues--Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, for tire Liver, the blood and the lungs, or Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weakly women, failing todo just what they are advertised to do? Men who spend millions ol dollars in advertis ing a remedy that is a benefaction to humanity, do not tuke these chances when there is not a sterling force, a great remedy back of their advertise ments. Dr. Pierce’s remedies are guaranteed to give “value received or no pay,” and the Journal is doing yon a kindness, and not seeking to advertise Dr. Pierce, when it calls your attention to the reliability of such standard medicines.—La Salle and Peru (III.)

They are hop ing fora message of defiance from Chili, as they wish war to be declar e i, believing that war would make Mr. Harrison's renominatiou certain and his re election much more proba ble than it would otherwise be. The democrats in the House and Senate are interested spectatorsof the drama which tlie administration is preparing for tlie American people, although it ha-been stated that the leaders were prepared to vote in la vor of war should Mr. Harrison rtc- omuiend that as the only honorable way to settle the matter, I can say on the highest authority that no such statement lias been authorized by any democrat of prominence in the party councils. Tiie most diligent search failed to find a single demo cratic Senator or representative wil ling to express an opinion untii all the correspondence between tlie two governments shall have been sent to Congress. Then, if it shall appear that American hohor demands u dec luration of war, no democrat will be found opposing it, but should it ap pear on the other baud that an at tempt was being made by the admin istration to curry favor with the thoughtless people by making war upon a weaker nation, no democrat will be frightened by a fictitious pub lic clamor into voting a dollar for a political war.

Out at Trinidad, Colo., just south of the town, is a huge, fiat topped rock on the top of a lull perhaps 300 feet high, ft is called Simpson's rock, and it is one of the historical points in tho west. Indeed it is a fragment of his tory from that time wlu-n heroic deeds, made sacred bv the spilling of white man’s blood, ushered in tho safe and | prosperous era of white man’s rule. i Simpson was a pioneer and camo to | the place before the name of Trinidad was heard. He was a freighter, and i finding many advantages about the spot lie prepared a home for bis family on the hank of the Purgatoire river, lie had a wife and two boys in iris* home at Santa Fe, and no man ever more lovingly prepared a lodge for his love than this rough driver fashioned 1 a dwelling in far away Trinidad. Ha had everything in readiness ns Ire passed through to tlie east, and meant to bring out his wife and children on lus next trip west. But the Indians had risen that fall and swept all the settlements down the river. They found Simpson’s borne just ready for occupancy, cap tured the men lie hud employed to taka care of it. und then lay in wait without disturbing a thing till the owner should? come. ‘ Simpson had seen signs of their rav age's. and knew the knife ami brand were devastating the country. lie cir cled around bis cherished home and saw enough to warn him. He drove to the foothills south of tlie river, and be gan preparations for a guarded camp. The Indians did not wait for barricades, but attacked at once. The helpers were slaughtered at the first usaault, but Simpson, with one ’ canteen of water, fought liis way through the line of screaming Utes and clambered up tire bill. They followed lriin ns well os they could, but darkness favored him* and lie gained the hills. Next morning early they found him, and he retreated a little further up tlie hill, killing sev eral of liis assailants from a bettor cov er. In tiie afternoon they drove him from that, and lie clambered a little higher up. So the warfare went on. He had shot so marry they would not leave him alive, but they could not capture him. Tire second night Simp- sou retreated to tire very top of the hill, rolled up a shelter of stones in a spot where he could command tire one approaelr, and waited. He had eaten nothing, and could hope for no food. The only chance for deliverance lay in tire possible coming of soldiers to avenge tire massacre of settlers. Lying there in tire broiling sun by duy and tire drilling air by night, tire grim old man watched sleeples»ly, picking off liis enemies as they crept one by one up the path. Day after day, for a w’eek, without other food than cactus root, with no water than that one canteen full, lie stood off his enemies. He never shot till a head was in sight, and lie always killed. Ten days, and lie prayed for death. Eleven, and lie lost Iris cart ridge belt. He found it, feebly crawl ing about his little fort, on tlie evening of the twelfth.
