Measles in Homer.
We regret to learn, as we do from Prof. W.

Academy, that the measles have broken out in
his school, from which cause lie has been
forced to suspend for a few weeks. We hope
soon, however, to hear of the entire abate

t ie exercises of the Academy.
Tall Oats.
J. E. Randolph, Esq., who is, in addition
to all his other good qualities, an excellent
farmer, left at the News office a few days
since, a sample of a 40 acre lot of oats, that
beats anything of the kind we have seen late
ly. The heads of most of the stalks were
nineteen inches in length with the grain in
proportion. The stalks measured alxmt sev
en feet in height. It is commonly believed
he has more oats than “ Carter" had.
Municipal Laws of Jefferson.
A good deal of complaint has been made
regarding the non-publication of the town
laws. There is now no necessity for this
complaint to longer exist. The Ordinances
can lie very easily laid before the pub
lic ; it not all at once, they can be published
in nil week to week until they are all made
1 public. And then, he “ that runs may read."
I Let the "city fathers ’ look into the matter.
The Athens Press
Had two representatives in town during
Court, in the persons of Col. J. H. Christy, of
the Watchman . and Capt. J. E. Ritch, of the
Georgian. Both these gentlemen paid their
respects to The Forest News, and we thus
publicly return our acknowledgements for the
complimentary manner in which they were
pleased to express themselves in regard to
the “ fixtures,” &c., of our little office. We
were sorry to see, however, they were both
“ down with the same complaint"'— scarcity
of money ; and if there is any truth Or con
solation in the old proverb that “misefy loves
company,” we can assure them that “ there's
a few more left o f the same sort !**
And just here, in this connection, we beg to
make an apology for an oversight in not
mentioning the fact in our last week's issue,
that Col. John B. Estes, of Gainesville, paid
us a visit a few days previous. The Col. is
the same genial, clever gentleman as ever—•
and looks in as good trim and keeping as if
he had never engaged in a race with Geor
gia's giant intellect —Hon. B. 11. Ilill.
More Good News.
From the farm of Mr. S. McElhannon, we
have received, through the courtesy of Dr.
J. D. Long, a cotton stalk some 26 inches in
height, well filled with forms. The Dr, in
forms us that this is a tolerably fair average
stalk, though he noticed some smaller ones
on which were a larger number of forms.
And now. that Jackson has her own organ,
it is hoped her citizens will let the world
know what they can do. Bring on your “re
sources, *' gentlemen !
Our Paper Last Week,
From a cause entirely uncontrollable on
our part, was rather poorly printed ; still,
notwithstanding this, we are pleased to note
that it was well received both by the public
and the press. This we repeat in no spirit
of vanity ; but believe and trust these marks
of approval will stimulate eVcfy One concern
ed to renewed energy and zeal ill endeavor
ing to make the N ews what it is intended to
be—a reliable and welcome sheet in every
household.
Acknowledgment.
We should prove ungrateful indeed, were
we to omit returning our thanks to the many
kind friends who have assisted in various
ways in starting up our office in Jefferson.
To mention the individual names of all would
no doubt, not be in accordance with their
wishes, and while we would make no dis
tinction, still, we hope to be pardoned for
paying our particular respects to our young
friend, Mitch Burns. Esq., not only for his
courtesy and assistance in arranging ti e
mail-book of the office, but for many other
urnilar acts. Mr. Burns is one of Jetfcrson's
noblest young men, and it is quite probable
that many a "maiden fair” as she notes his
ittcntion to business, his gentlemanly bear
ing and deportment and his handsome form
and features. " heaves a gentle sigh - ’ and
silently asks the question, “Wonder if it ’ll
be me ?”
More Wheat.
Our little article last week in regard tot-1 e
sample of wheat from I)r. 11. ,J. Long, now
brings J. I). Johnson, Esq., to the “ front” with
a sample of his crop. 'Hie sample heads left
with ns by the last named gentleman are. ac
cording to our humble judgment—in length
and fullness of grain—a little ahead of those
mentioned in our last issue. And with these
two samples before us. and the usual encour
aging reports wc hear of the crop throughout
the country, We are quite “hope up” in our
anticipations for the future. If the people
can, by any moans, still induce the Western
meat-sellers to fhmish them with a little
“grease" from time to time, why, the chances
are, that they can have “ shortened” biscuit
next fall and winter, at all events.
IdP"Several of the “mercantile fraternity”
from Athens were in town during the first of
the Week. As to their mission, “this de
ponent" saitli not. But suppose they were
simply pleasure seekers and acknowledging
the hospitality and courteousness of the peo
ple of Jackson, desired to spend a short time
with us. If this was not the reason, we can’t
pretend to unravel the mystery. They cer
tainly couldn't have been '‘looking for money!"
If they were, we know of but one way to get
it. and that is to advertise in The Forest
News.
“Oniony.”
To two of Jackson's most respectable citi
zens are we indebted for some of the finest
onions we have seen for a long time. We al
lude to Micager Williamson. Esq., who lives
some five miles east of Jefferson, and Mr. J.
P. Williamson, Sr., of tills place. The samples
sent to this office by these gentlemen, show
conclusively what can be done by careful at
tention and proper teork. We return our
thanks to our respected fellow--citizens, and
would here take the liberty to admonish those
who are tired of raising “cheap cotton” to
try a crop of onions. In our humble opinion,
“ there's money in it!’’ Mr. Micager Wil
liamson. for the benefit of all concerned, gives
the following as his method of raising this
very necessary esculent:
“ Dig a ditch or trench some 4 or 6 inches
deep ; fill up with hen manure or the scrap
ings of the hen-house. This done, get some
river sand and cover the “ setts."’

Legal Visitors during Court.
In addition to our local bar, there were in
attendance during the session of Court this
week, the following representatives of the
legal fraternity:
lion. j. J. Floyd, of Covington ; Col. Ga
briel Nash, of Madison county; Col. John
C. Reid, of Uriioil Point; Col. S. P. Thur
mOnd, Solicitor Gerft Emory Speer, Col. A.

Crop Prospects in Jacksorl.
From all the information obtainable up to
Friday morning, from the different sections
of the county, the prospect for fair crops is
quite encouraging; though at this time—Fri
day evening—rain is needed, perhaps all
over the county, but certainly in the imme
diate vicinity of Jefferson. It is estimated
by good judges that the tv heat Crop of the
county will be an “average,” and that har
vesting will be about completed the present
week ; the farmers will then have ample op
portunity to go to work in earnest in their
corn and cotton fields, preparatory to a de
cent and cleanly “laying by.” With this
view as regards the future, may we not feel
hopeful that the low spirits of all our people
will be cheered and revived, the murmurings
of the croakers and grumblers be forever
hushed, and man, woman and child move qui
etly along—each in his allotted sphere—con*'
tented and happy as a “ marriage bell.*’
Adjourned Spring Term, Jackson Superior
Court.
Ilis Honor, Judge Geo. D. Rice, with the
usual number of necessary functionaries and
the Solicitor General of the Circuit, Emory
Speer, Esq., Opened the adjourned session
of the Superior Court at this place on Mon
day morning last, at 10 o'clock. Elsewhere
will be seen the names df the Grand Jurymen
selected, chosen and sworn for the occasion.
The Court having been Organized and the
Grand Jury instructed as to Their duties in an
elaborate and appropriate ‘'charge' by his
1 lonor the Judge, the first, ease—and the only
one of interest trie l during the
called up immediately after the dinner hour,
it being the State vs. Newton Bell, (ddl.);
the crime charged against the defendant was
"Bestiality." The State was represented by
the Solicitor General, ably assisted by Col.
W. I. Pike; while Col. W. L. Marler and
1. A. 1L Mahaffey, Esq., appeared for the
defendant.
After an investigation of ten or twelve
hours, conducted on both sides with much
legal ability and acumen, the case was sub
mitted to the Jury about one o'clock, A. M..
Tuesday, and about day-break a verdict of
“ Guilty” was announced.
A small negro boy, gome twelve years old,
who had been in jail since February, charged
with a similar offence to the above, was dis
charged on account of .his youthfulness.
The case of the two Busbin boys—•"charged
with burglary, in breaking open tlie inill
house of Mr. Williamson, a few months since*
was, on account of the absence of important
witnesses, laid over.
There was some other business of minor
importance transacted during the session of
the Court, of course ; but, as before remark
ed. the above mentioned ease was the only
oUe that elicited any particular attention.
His Honor, Judge Rice's course, in hasten
ing through with the business and adjourning
Court at about 12 M„ on Tuesday, meets the
hearty approbation of the citizens, as it is a
most important season With most of them —
wheat harvesting being the order of the day
at this time among the farmers.
Everything passed off quietly and harmo
niously ; very little, if any, of the usual ex
citement and coif fusion incident to such
occasions being apparent; and on Wednes*
day forenoon (the time of this Writing) the
little town of Jefferson is as tranquil as a
“ Spring morning.”
We cannot close this article without notic
ing. very briefly, the fact—judging from our
own stand-point—of the careless, callous and
unconcerned manner in which the negro,
Newton Bell, seemed to view passing events.
We saw him, it is true, but once during the
trial. This was when Court had adjourned
for supper Monday night. At that time, he
was talking in a jovial and easy-going style—
uncoftsciOns. or at least, apparently so, of the
heinousness of his crime, and evincing no
concern whatever as to its consequences;
and as to whether the sentence, passed by
the Judge before final adjournment, of “the
Penitentiary for life"—made any change oil
his mind or demeanor. We know not—as we
saw him no more during the trial or since.
Appended will be found a “ copy of the
Grand Jury Presentments”—that Hon. body
in its hurry to “ get loose*’ on Monday even
ing, forgetting to order their publication orfi
cialiy:

Suggestions to Wheat-Growers.
Mr. Editor :—l take it for granted that
every man who has energy enough to sow and
harvest wheat, has judgment and public spirit
enough to paf for and read a newspaper. If
he does the first; and fails to do the last, he is
only a part o'f a ffiaffi and sadly needs com
pleting. This is my preface.
Surely it will not be out, of place for one
who has been milling half a century, to offer
a suggestion to wheat-growers as to the pre
paration of wheat for the mill. As the wheat
is now harvesting, and will shortly be thresh
ed, the present is a suitable time to tell every
one who takes wheat to mill, before doing so,
to dry it well in the stf.lt after it has been fan
ned. None but finders know how important
it is to the owner of the wheat to have it com
pletely dry when ground, It matters little
how good the wheat may bd, if it is ground
damp, the yield of flour will bt* Small.
When we recollect how necessary It is to
the general prosperity that make
their bread at home, and when we knoff that
for the first two months after harvest—and
with many it is the case throughout the year
—almost every one, in his haste to eat the
firsx, fruits of his labor, carries half dried
wheat to mill, and thus actually throws away
from ten to twenty per cent, of the flour in
the grain, it is not surprising that so many are
short of wheat before the ensuing harvest.
If the failiffe iii the wheat crop of the State
were in any one year just equal to the waste
made by having damp wheat ground, it is a
question whether anew book of Lamentations
would not have to be written, Now, since we
have been blessed with fair crops of wheat,
let us show that we have also been blessed
with anew and strong purpose to make it go
as far as it can be made to go in supplying
bread.
If so full-handed as to care nothing for the
loss you sustain in the manner pointed out,
show that you will add to the general pros
perity by sunning your wheat well before
having it ground, and if the surplus thus
generated should be in your Way, you can
find some needy person with hungry children
who wiil bless you for presenting to them a
few bushels of wheat.
To labor hard to make a crop, and then to
waste a part of it because one is in such a
hurry to make something else to waste that
he cannot spare the time to save it, is not very
wise. If any one gets in this sort of hurry,
lie would do well to put ouA his wheat to sun
at once, and while stirring it and keeping off
the fbwls, to collect his “few scattered
thoughts,” that he may resume his work a
wiser and stronger man.
Many persons are misled by the fact, that
some millers dampen dry wheat to make good
flour. I believe this is sometimes done by
good millers, though I never do it. They en
deavor to make the outside of the grain a lit
tle damp, while the inside remains dry. that a
more complete separation may be effected of
the bran from the kernel.
What I have said is intended to apply to
wheat damp through and through. If the
whole grain outside and inside is not first
dried, it is not possible to make the outside
damp and the inside dry.

The Philosopher and the Ferryman.
A philosopher stepped on board a ferryboat
to cross a stream ; on the passage he inquir

metic? No, sir; never heard of it before.”
The philosopher replied. “ I am very sorry ;
for one quarter of your life is gone.” A few
minutes after lie lisked the ferryman, “ Do
you know anything of mathematics ?*’ The
boatman Smiled and replied, “ No.” “ Well,
then,” said the philosopher, “another quarter
of your life is gone.” A third question was
aSked the ferryman : “Do you Understand
astronomy ?” Oh ! no, no ; never heard of
sUch a thing.” “Well, tity friend, then
another quarter of youf life IS gone.” Just
at this moment the boat fad on a rock and
was sinking, when the ferryman jumped up,
pulled off his coat, and asked the philosopher
with great earnestness of manner, “ Sir, can
you swim ?” “ Nosaid the philosopher.
“ Well, then.” sSid the ferryman, “ your
whole life is lost; for the boat is going to the
bottom.”
