The Crop Outlook.
This subject, though “ stale and flat,” is
far from being an “unprofitable” one. We
insert elsewhere a most encouraging extract
concerning the prospect ahead—taken in a
general sense—as pertains to the Southern
States. Did we desire to do so—and did our
space permit—we could fill column after
column of our paper with/* crop news” from
our State papers, of the most favorable and
encouraging character. And though we
have, as yet, no large list of exchanges from
abroad, yet we believe we hazard nothing in
saying that wliat is true of Georgia is also
true of all the Southern States.
From all quarters of the “old Empire” come
the “ glad tidings ” of good crops of small
grain—that is, generally speaking : as a mat
ter of course, there are isolated excep
tions. In the immediate section in
which we are located, every one seems satis
fied with the yield of wheat. Oats, where
planted at the right time and with the ground
properly prepared, have come up to general
expectation, we believe ; there are no doubt as
before remarked, exceptions to the general
rule. As to the growing crops of corn, cot
ton, potatoes, etc., there is but one opinion,
and that is that the prospect was never bright
er. The rains are coming at the right time,
the crops are clean, and unless some unseen
and unlooked for calamity should overtake
our land, the husbandman, as he thanks a
kind and beneficent Providence for all His
goodness, can truly exclaim,
“ See the corn again in ear.
How the fields and valleys smile ;
Harvest now is drawing near,
To repay the farmer’s toil.”
Another Precinct Heard Froml
A correspondent of the Southern Watch
man, writing from Banks county, is in gux
orious ecstacies over a “ little event*’ of the
feminine gender which has transpired in his
household. And at the same time the South
ron, of Gainesville, says Judge W is
looking more “ fatherly” than usual; it's of
the male persuasion—weight 12 pounds! It
is always pleasant to note the progress made
in home productions abroad, but while so do
ing, we must not forget what is due our own
section. We learned, only a few weeks ago,
from a most trustworthy source, that three
“ new scholars” had been reported to the
County School Commissioner, all in one day
—in the same neighborhood—and that too,
during the late “ dry spell.” Had the season
been propitious, there is no calculating the
result! “ That's the kind of county Jackson
was!”

hands of J. A. B. Mahaffey, Esq., of a copy

Something Nice.
The Managing Editor of the News was the
recipient, on Wednesday last, of a box of the
most beautiful fruit of the “ plum species” we
have ever seen. And what is best of all, the
taste was equal to the appearance. They
are denominated the “ Wild Goose” variety,
and were from Mrs. 11. W. Belt, of Jeffer

her kindness. Some of these plums measur

Death of an Esteemed Lady.
The remains of Mrs. Olivia Dunnagan,

A. J. Kelley. She was a most estimable la
dy, and leaves numerous relatives and friends
to mourn her death.

A traveler, on horseback, was once jog
ging along a road in the wire-grass region of
Georgia, when his attention was attracted by
a small, tallow-faced urchin who was plowing
a “ patch” of corn near the roadside, the
patch being, in every respect, in full keeping
with general surroundings. The traveler ac
costed the boy, when the following conversa
tion ensued:
“ Hello, my son, your com seems to be
small!”
“Yes, sir, we planted small corn.”
“ Ah ! but what makes it look so yellow?”
“ We planted yellow com, sir.”
“ Well.” said the traveler, as lie moved off,
“ I don't think you’ll make more than half a
crop.”
“ No!” says the tow-headed youngster,
raising his voice, “We don't expect to make
but half a crop ; we only planted on shares
any way /”
The traveller trotted away, perfectly satis
fied that it won’t do to judge by appearances
at all times.

Legg’s Mineral Springs—Free to All I
Editor Forest News:—
It may not be generally known, even to all
the citizens of Jackson county, that they
have free access to as fine mineral water as
there is in the South, almost at their vert'
doors. Some remarkable cures have already
been effected by the free use of Legg's Mine
ral Springs, four miles from Jefferson. By
careful analysis, these springs are known to
contain Iron, Sulphur, Manganese, Potassa.
Soda, Magnesia, Lime, and just such other
constituents as make them a specific for
Dyspepsia. Rheumatism, Liver and Kidney
diseases, and all diseases of the blood and
skin. One after another of these springs boil
up, for hundreds of yards, making quite a
little stream, at times almost obstructed by
the thick mineral deposit. One hundred
yards below these springs, and surrounded by
a beautiful grove, is a neat white-washed
Bath-house, through which this little mineral
stream is conducted, giving the shower-bath
to all who desire it. The trunks of the trees
around the springs are white-washed, rustic
seats prepared, and the invalid cannot help
but feel cheerful as he views these beautiful
life-giving fountains.
Mr. Lego informed us that he had made no
preparations to take boarders this season, on
account of the feeble condition of his health ;
but that he would give to all who may desire
it, the free use of his springs, bath-house,
wood, and camping ground.
We have thus, Mr. Editor, given you but a
glimpse of what may prove to be a great
source of health and wealth to the citizens of
Jackson county. Anonymous.

Oats versus Com.
Editor News :—Last year I commenced
sowing the common Yellow Oat upon thin
upland that had been planted in oats the
spring previous, but which were not worth
cutting at the proper time. I sowed at least
two bushels to the acre, and turned them un
der as deep as I could with a one-horse plow.
I sowed on through September, and finished
in October ; a part of the land had been lying
out and I turned under weeds as high as my
head. I commenced sowing again January
last, upon land adjoining that sowed in the
fall, turning them under in the same way;
and now for the result: Those planted from
August to October, are now ready to cut; are
from waist to shoulder high, and as many as
fort}’-two stalks from one grain where they
had room to spread. Those sowed in Janu
ary are scarcely worth cutting. Adjoining
these oats, is a field of corn, which, with four
plowings and lioeings will not probably yield
more than ten bushels per acre. The fall
oats will yield twenty bushels per acre; at
least eight times more work has been done to
the corn than to the oats, and the money
value of the corn will be about half that of
the oats. But suppose the yield of the oats
only equal to that of the corn, there is a dif
ference in favor of the oats of all the labor
done to the corn since it was planted, besides
the improvement of the land. Now, Ido not
mean to discourage the growing of so impor
tant a crop as corn. Cultivate the best lands
in corn and sow the thin uplands in oats in
the fall. Philomatiiean.

A Free Horse at Rest.
During the pioneer days of lonia, the
town had an editor who was patient and long
suffering. Some of the members of the
'Lurch got him to give S2O toward securing
a minister; then they wanted $5 for the
heathen ; then they wanted their religious no
tices inserted free ; then he was asked for $25
toward helping to build a parsonage, and he
finally found that he was giving the church
more than he gave his family. lie, neverthe
less, “ hung on” for a time longer, until one
evening he went to prayer-meeting, and was
asked to leave his office for a week and go
and help clear the grounds for a camp meet
ing. That was the last straw, and he arose
up and said : “Gentlemen, I’d like to go to
heaven along with you. I know you all. You
are clever and obliging, and kind and tender,
and it would be nice for us all, as a congrega
tion, to go in together, but I’ve concluded to
leave you and dodge in along with somebody
from Detroit, Lapeer or Grand Rapids. It’s
money, money, all the time, and, I've given
this church until, if my wife should die, she’d
have to go to heaven barefooted.’’ The
congregation seemed to realize that a free
horse was being rode to death. They let up
on the editor and pacified him. He even had
a special tent assigned him at the camp
meeting, and all was well.
A Vision of the Future.
Yesterday morning a young man who was on
his way up the river, having a satchel filled
with a remedy for corns, a lotion to remove
freckles, and many boxes of tooth-paste suc
ceeded in selling a negro resident of Clay
street aSO cent bottle of freckle remedy.
The purchaser was exhibiting it to some of
his friends, when one of them exclaimed :
“ Shoo! you has bin swindled! What
does niggers want ofdat stuff? Niggers
nebber hab freckles ! ”
“ It's fur my wife,” explained the man.
“Your wife han’t got freckles—she's black
as tar.”
“Well, you can’t tell what'll happen,” was
the response. “Fust, dar was de mancerfa
shun ; den cums de freedman bizness ; den de
Civil Rights bill; and who kin tell dat de
next thing won’t be white niggers wid heaps
of freckles all over der faces! ”

The District Meeting.
The following, taken from the Elberton
Gazette of the 23d ult., may not be uninter
esting to many of our readers :
The District Meeting. —At the District
Meeting held at Hartwell last year, it was
understood that Clarkesville, Habersham
county, would be the place for the one to
come off during the present year, and up to
a recent date the determination of the meet
ing at Hartwell was unrevoked. We learn,
however, that for good reasons the place of
Convention has been changed from Clarkes
ville to Toecoa City. We think the last
named town much more desirable than the
first for the assemblage, as they are largely
attended, and Toccoa City is so situated as
to be very accessible both by rail and private
conveyance, and then the accommodations at
this town are much better than at Clarkes
ville, and consequently visitors can, without
trouble, fmd places to stop while attending
the meeting. It convenes on Wednesday be
fore the 3d Sabbath in August, according to
adjournment.

prominent medical men is aroused in behalf of this
wonderful compound.and the most successful prac
titioners use it. If women suffer hcrcafetr it will be
their own fault. Female Regulator is prepared and
sold by L. 11. Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga.,
and may be bought for $1.50 per bottle at any
respectable Drug Store in the Union.
Effects Truly Wonderful.
Cartkrsvillk, Ga., April 2G, 1860.
This will certify that two members of my imme
diate family, after having suffered for many rears
from menstrual irregularity, and havin'!; been
treated without benefit bv various medical doctors,
were at length completely cured by one bottle of
Dr. J. Bradfield 1 s FEMALE REGULATOR. I
therefore deem it niv duty to furnish this certificate
with the hope of drawing attention of suffering wo
mankind to the merits of a medicine whose power
in curing irregular and suppressed mensration, has
been proven under mv own personal observation.
Its effect on such cases is truly wonderful, ami well
may the remedy be called ” Woman 1 * Best
Friend.” Yours respectfully,
J AS. IE. STRANGE.
