Sunday, the 6th inst., was the first “Lord's Day spent by the “ Press Gang" in the town of Jefferson. About nine in the morning, we walked over to the neat and tasty little church of the Methodists, situated in a beautiful grove on the Northeastern side of the town— passing in our walk the grounds and build ings of that c’assic institution, the “Martin Institute." Arriving at the church, we found Mic Sabbath School in session, under the Superintendence of Prof. Glenn and Mr. Wm. W inhum. And though the “turn-out” on this occasion was not so good as usual, (so we were informed.) yet each and every one present seemel impressed with the duties of ‘lie hour and a desire to pay proper respect to the day. The lessons over, the school ioine 1 in singing some of those beautiful " songs oi Zion" which has ovei‘ been to us one of the most attractive features of this ” Nursery of the church and as we listened oi tee sweet music maU by the united voices ot those who have “ rein inhered their Creator in the days of their youth," wo were, in imagi nation. carried back to days not long since passed, when, at the same time on the Sab bath. morning, surrounded by a “little flock” oi children an 1 teachers—whom we shall nev er cease to love—it was a most delightful and pleasing task to teach them in our humble style, “those ways which are ways of pleasant ness, and those paths which are paths of peace.” At 11 o clock, at the same place, we listen ed to an admirable sermon—delivered in a plain, unostentatious, yet impressive style— by Rev. \\ . A. Farris, who is in charge of the Jefferson Circuit. Preaching was announced tor evening, but a cloud coming up late in the afternoon and the appearances indicative ot rain at night, we were debarred the privi lege of again hearing this faithful sentinel on the watehtower of “Zion.” May he live a long life of usefulness, and “his last days be his best.” The Big Bonanza, Like Charley Ross, has frequently “ turn ed up" and been reported as found in differ ent localities; but like the Irishman's flea, (and a large number of Jefferson fleas) when you want to put your finger on him, “he ain t thar. * However, a perusal of our ad vertisements will reveal the hiding place of the "animal," and if you want a panacea for the ills of “ hard times" and “ dull business." just keep pace with 3’our neighbors and let the world and “ all the rest of mankind” know what you have to sell and what you want to buy. I^ Out “ working force,” composed of two youthful Athenians, we are happy to report to their various friends, are in good “ grow ing condition." They are well cared for in every respect. Our kind and worthy hostess, Mrs. Worsham, is quite attentive to the wants of the “ inner man" ; and with " fixing up” and type-setting we manage to give them plenty to do during the day, while “ye nim ble flea" in his lively operations, furnishes lull scope for expansion and athletic exer , cise at night. :: “A Most Remarkable Year I” The aW)ve has been, as it were, a "house hold word with almost cveby one who has taken the trouble to note the various sudden changes ol the atmosphere and weather gen erally. trom the beginning of the year up to the present. TV iththe lateness of the spring, the Cyclones, the drought, and, during the present week, the unpleasantly cool nights, 1875 has been indeed, "a most remarkable year’—at least so much of it 'as has already paired. The Educational Advantages of Jackson County. Among the “ items of interest” we have en deavored to get up for our paper, will be found a “Directory” of the schools of the count}*. It is our wish to have everything in this “line” as complete as possible, and if there has possibly occurred any omission, it is hoped someone will call our attention to the fact, and all necessary corrections will be made at once. But we started out to say something of the advantages offered to parents, guardians and others, for the education of their children and wards, by these institutions of learning.— These schools are all in charge of principals and assistants of the highest qualifications and competence for the duties in which they are engaged. The school-houses are all locat ed in neighborhoods composed of the best so ciety. Board is as cheap or cheaper than any where else on the habitable globe; while, judging from the number of churches scatter ed tliroughout the county, the morals of the people will compare favorably with those of any other section, and altogether, we do not believe better opportunities are afforded any where for obtaining at least a good English education, than can be found in the county of Jackson. And we had liked to have for gotten to remark, that for water and climate this section of our Grand Old Commonwealth is unsurpassed and unsurpassable. Commencement-—Martin Institute. From all the information we can gather on the subject, it is expected and hoped that the Annual Commencement of this institution, which takes place the first week of next month, will exceed, if possible, any preced ing Commencement, in point of interest and importance. The friends of the “ Institute” everywhere, will, we feel well assured, be highly gratified to learn that the Sermon on Sunday, the 4th of July, will be delivered by Rev. Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, late Chancellor of the University of Georgia. An attempt on our part , to say anything of the fitness of this selection, would be presumption indeed—the bare mention of the fact is amply sufficient. The Literary Address, on Thursday, the Bth, will, we are informed, be delivered by Emory Speer, Esq., who has already proved himself worthy ol the honor conferred, and on similar occa sions, elsewhere, shown his capacity and ability in an eminent degree, for the duty assigned him. “The Out-Look I” Some beginners are very prone to exagge rate the number of patrons with which they commence anew enterprise. Now. we are plain, matter-of-fact sort of folks—never put on airs—don't want to make false impres sions—in fact, would say nothing at all on the subject, did we not believe that many friends at a distance will feel interested in knowing what are our prospects—what is the “out-look!" To all such, we are pleased to say. we begin under most favorable auspices; our subscription list, in >ound numbers, is so met hine/ less than three thousand. And though we cannot boast of the largest circu lation of any paper in Northeast Georgia, still we can safely assert that we have the largest number of subscribers of any paper ever printed in Jackson County ! The Colored Firemen cf JefFerson. Many an individual into whose hands this paper may fall, will, no doubt, be surprised when he perceives that it is printed at and emanates from the little town of Jefferson, Jackson county, O a.; but the astonishment of any such will not, we opine, be greater than was our own when informed that Jefferson could boast of an Engine and Fire Company. Both propositions, however, are true—and while neither one may be on a scale with those of some of the more prominent towns or cities, yet it is a pleasure to us to bear tes timony to the handsome appearance of the Jefferson firemen, as evinced on their parade Saturday afternoon last. This organization should receive the encouragement of every property holder in town ; and with a sufficient supply of water and suitable quarters for “ dcr masheen,” Jefferson may yet have cause to be proud of her colored firemen. Adjourned Term--Jackson Superior Court. The illness of Judge Rice, at the regular time, prevented the holding of the Spring Term of our Court, as usual. On Monday next. the Judge will open an extra term: so evil-doers especially, and all others interest ed, will please take notice and govern them selves accordingly. And at the same time, we would remark, parenthetically, that the representatives of The Forest News will not be idle. Let every man in the county come up and subscribe. Taxes—The Last Chance. Mr. G. W. Brown, our efficient Receiver of Tax Returns, has completed his rounds. He will be at the Court House during Court— next week—and all who have not done so, would do well to avail themselves of this op portunity to give in their returns. After next week, he will be in Jefferson on the Ist Mon day and Tuesday in July, when the books must and will be closed. Walk up to the Captain's office, gentlemen, lest ye be double taxed. Our Paper. In bringing out tliis. the first number of The Forest News, we have passed through troubles “ seen and unseen" and “ trials and tribulations” known only to the “ craft" typo graphic. But as there is a “ silver lining to every cloud,” we hope, in the future, to have no inconvenience in “ coming to time” with our budget of news from the “ forest.” We flatter ourselves that we have a neat outfit— all new—and that with anything like a “ fair showing” our little sheet will reflect credit, in every respect—on each and every one inte rested. Sad Affliction. In anotlier column we publish a “Tribute of Respect" b}* the pupils of Martin Insti tute, on the death of one of their little school mates, Robie Cartledge, son of Rev. G. H. Cartledge. Disease and death i9 the com mon lot of mankind ; but when the young and tender “plants." in whom we centre so many of our hopes and bright anticipations, are snatched, as it were, in the “twinkling of an eye.” from amidst those by whom they are loved and so highly prized, the breast is na turally filled with grief and sorrow, and while we sympathize and condole with bereaved parents and friends, and endeavor to bow with humble submission to the will of Him “who doeth all things well,” we cannot but feel that His ways are mysterious indeed, and “ past finding out.” Little Robie was sick only some sixteen or eighteen hours, but his sufferings during the time were most ex cruciating and intense. The bereaved pa rents have the sympathy of the whole com munity in their irreparable loss. The Wheat Crop. I rom all quarters comes the “glad tidings” that this crop promises well. We have no ticed particularly the few exchanges with which we are at present favored, and find they all, of “one accord,” concur in the opinion that the danger from rust, &c., is now over to a good degree, and that the prospect is a good one for an excellent crop of this very neces sary article of food. And while on the subject of “ crops.” for the information and encouragement of the readers of the News, it is well enough to say, that from the papers as well as from all other sources accessible to us, the growing crops are all reported in favorable condition. The late rains in this as well as other sections have revived vegetation, and grass as well as all other crops “is in good growing” condition : therefore, the “order of the day” now is work. And with “clean cultivation” from this time forward, we hope to see the low spirits of our farmers and every one else revived, and our whole people made happy a “ good crop year.” The One Thing Needful. Now that a newspaper is one of the “fixed institutions" of Jefferson, may we not con fidently hope that tlie citizens—one and all—- will co-operate with each other and take the proper steps at once, to secure better mail facilities than have heretofore existed. Go to work, friends—put the ball in motion, and keep it moving till this great end is accom plished. We say ‘‘great” because it is a matter of importance to a very large portion, it not all the people of Jackson county. Go to work, then, and let us have a daily or at least a tri-weekly mail between Athens and Jefferson, and a weekly mail to and from Harmony Grove. In arranging the “matter” in connec tion with the various interests of the county and town, there may be, and no doubt are some errors. W e desire to make our Direc tory complete, and to that end we most re spectfully ask that wherever a mistake or an omission has occurred, that someone will point it out to us, in order that it may be cor rected. A Much Needed Enterprise. 11 someone of proper tact and business capacity would “ start up” a small Livery Stable in Jefferson, there is no doubt, in the mind of this “ deponent” but that it would yield a handsome dividend on the investment, besides being a great accommodation to the public. Important to Would-be Bankrupts. Persons seeking relief in bankruptcy now must make a deposit of fifty dollars on account of Register’s costs, besides a sufficient amount to secure the fees of the Marshal and Clerk, as will he seen by the following ex tract from the additional orders in bankrupt cy passed by the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States : “ The deposit of fifty dollars required to be made as security for the fees of the Register shall be delivered by the Clerk to the Register to whom the case is re ferred, and be by him accounted for at the termination of the case.” This fee has been only twenty-five dollars since June, 1874, under the amendatory act, but the Supreme Court, in the general orders, has placed it at fifty dollars, the amount charged prior to June, 1874. State Board of Health. The Legislature of Georgia, at its late session, created a State Board of Health, and Governor Smith has just announced the names of the physicians appointed to com pose it. The appointees are well distribut ed as to localities, and if we may judge of the whole Board from the character of the gentleman chosen from this city, it is a body whose medical talent and worth will command the highest respect all over the State. The following are the members of the Board: First District—Dr. J. G. Thomas, Savan nah. Second—Dr. B. M. Cromwell, Albany. Third—Dr. George M. Cooper, Americas. Fourth—Dr. F. A. Stanford, Columbus. Fifth—Dr. J. P. Logan, Atlanta. Sixth.—Dr. C. P. Nottingham, Macon. Seventh—Dr. S. TV. Holmes, Rome. Eighth—Dr. H. F. Campbell. Augusta. Ninth—Dr. H. H. Carleton. Athens. The Board will meet in Atlanta on tho Oth of June, for organization. —Macon Journal 4- Messenger. The Supreme Court has decided the contest between Strozier and Wright, involv ing the judgeship of the Albany Circuit, in favor of Judge TT right. Wright was Gov. Smith s appointee— Judge Stozier, who was appointed by Bullock, contending that his term had not expired when Wright was ap pointed.

Georgia Wheat. —The first barrel of new flour received in New York this season, it is said, was sent from Augusta, Ga. Dr. Wm. E.

It will be observed that the Atlanta Con stitution has tendered the Georgia editors an excursion to Toeeoa Falls on the occasion of the assembling of the Press Association on the sth of July It will be an enjoyable affair, and those editors who can't attend themselves ought to send their children. In the Southern Watchman of the 9th, we And an account of the dedication of Moore College, University of Georgia, at Athens. This magnificent, building, called after I)r. R. I) Moore, is the gift of the city of Athens to the University of Georgia. It was erect ed at a cost of $25,000, and is an ornament to the University and city. The corner-stone was laid with appropiate ceremonies nearly eleven months ago. It was formaly dedicat ted on June Ist, 1875. The Rome Carrier states that Mrs. Eliza beth M. Roe, of Cherokee county, Alabama has a coffee tree three years old, that is grow ing finely in the open air. Now this is some thing for our people to consider. If the coffee tree can stand the climate of Northern Alabama, it can of course do still better in this region. The opinion is expressed that the tree in Cherokee county will bear fruit when it is five years old. We doubt this, but, the experiment is still worth trying. The fact that the coffee tree or shrub will live and grow finely in the open air in latitude 34 is anew discovery. Ex-Governor Jenkins. —Both the Augus ta Chronicle and tlie Savannah News insist that ex-Gov. Jenkins is the man to fill the the Executive chair of Georgia for the next term, because there are so many acpirants for the position, and the people are so divid ed as to them, as to prevent a cordial union on any one else than Mr. Jenkins. They also say that Mr. Jenkins* disinclination to accept a nomination is an argument in his favor, and the people ought to press it upon him in such a manner that he cannot refuse it.— Col. Sun. Georgia and Texas flour arrived it St. Louis neek-and-neck against time, both hav ing samples on exhibition at the merchants’ exchange in that city on the 30th day of last month. Four days later one hundred bags of new Mississippi wheat were received in Memphis, The wheat crop of the south is everywhere described a3 excellent in quality and abundant in quantity. Day is break ing for a certainty, and the gloom of our financial night will be entirely dispelled as soon as full cribs of corn can make the meat that we consume.— Const. The negro Alfred Airing, convicted of the murder of Joe Mayfield, also colored, was hung at Atlanta 0:1 Friday. He killed May field for alleged intimacy with his wile, and did not deny the killing, but justified it. He declared to a reporter of the Herald, the day before the execution, that he would at any time up to the moment of his arrest have killed Mayfield, and that if he had not done it he “would tremble lorthe salvation of his soul.*’ The fact that he was not married to the wo man whom he called his wife, no doubt pre vented his receiving the clemency in the gradation of his punishment that would have been extended if his relations with her had been more legal. A of Noble Bequests. —The will of Miss Mary Telfair, of Savannah, who died last week, aged 86 years, daughter of ex-Governor Telfair, was filed in the ordina ry’s office and recorded Saturday. Several munificent bequests to societies are made. Georgia historical gets about $175,000: the independent Presbyterian church of Savannah, SBO,OOO ; Presbyterian church of Augusta, $30,000; and to the Hodgson institution. Telfairville Christian church, endowment of Telfar hospitals for females, endowment of Telfair academy of art and science and to other societies, be sides numerous personal legacies are made, including handsome bequests to the colored servants of the family. The estate is valued at over a million dollars.— Const. £5TThe “powers that be*’ at Washington City, have just discovered that there is any thing wrong in stealing. Someone has stolen some $47,000 from the Treasury Department, and there has been great commotion amon" the officials in regard to the theft. While, on the other hand, the Southern States have been robbed ol millions upon millions within the last few years, and not a word of complaint made by any of those who are now. seeming ly, so much exercised over the loss of a few thousand. Odd-Fellows at Homer.—We learn that anew Lodge I. O. O. F. was organized ftt Homer on the 29th ult., by M. P. Cal Iwell, D. D. G. M. and others. The following officers were elected :—Capt I. W.

Since it has pleased a kind Providence to take from our midst our little friend and school-mate, Robie Cart ledge, who, after an illness of a few hours, but o! immense pain. ended his short career on Saturday, May 29th, 1875. 5\ ho, although quite young, exhibited great at tachment both towards his teachers and fellow corn rade.v He was not excelled irt school bv those of his age for thoughtfulness, patience and diligence. And since he was possessed of all the character istics of a noble boy, and had he been spared, we believe would have been an ornament to society and a blessing to Christianity—Therefore, be it Ttesotcetl, 1 hat while we submit, we express our bereavement and sadness at the death oi our beloved little friend.
