“Follow up the Plow, Boys!”
Among the many pleasing incidents of
Commencement, last week, was the singing,
during the “ Concert of the Music Class,” of
the following beautifully composed and most
appropriate song, by Miss Florence How
ard. We were tempted to solicit a copy for
publication, both on account of its superb
and elegant execution by the fair songstress
and her accomplished assistants and its per
fect adaptability to present surroundings :
FOLLOW UP THE PLOW.
Hard times are now upon us,
And the people are in debt;
The country’s full of trouble,
And the worst is coming yet.
? Tis not without its causes,
And I’ll plainly tell you now—
The only way to stop it
Is to “follow up the plow.”
Chorus. —Then follow up the plow boys,
Follow tip the plow ;
If you would build the country up.
Just follow up the plow.
Fill up your fields and prairies
With a crop that’s “ good as gold,”
And mine your hills and valleys wide.
For iron, salt and coal;
The earth is the producer,
And I can tell you how
To make a princely fortune—
Is to “ follow up the plow.” [ Cho .]
There are too many people
Who from their duty shirk—
Who’d rather make a fortune
By some other means than work ;
The man who plants tobacco,
Corn, wheat, or cotton now,
Is king among the “moneyed-men”—
He “follows up the plow.” [CAo.]
A Most Acceptable Present-
On Wednesday’ morning last, a courteous
and urbane youth of “ darkest shade” entered
our sanctum bearing a large and neatly cov
ered waiter, which, without much ceremony,
he placed in our hands, remarking as he did
so, “ Here is something Mrs. G sent
you.” Hastily removing the linen cover, we
found the large waiter filled to overflowing
with a selection of the most choice vegetables
of the season; not a few samples of each,
but a profusion—a quantity sufficient to meal
the whole “ press gang” of the News ; and
as a finishing touch to the “ picture,” the
bountiful “ pile” was surmounted by a most
exquisite and beautifully arranged bouquet.
Along with this timely and acceptable pre
sent was a neat little card bearing this in
scription—“ Compliments of Mrs. J. W.
Glenn.”
Thanks, profound! One bright spot in
that day’s history, at least.
The Fruit Crop in Jackson.
In our “peregrinations,” we have frequent
ly been asked if there was any fruit up in the
regions “ round about Jefferson?” For the
benefit not onjy of those propounding the
question, but all others interested, inquiry
has been made, and from the best information
received we are enabled to report that, while,
generally speaking, the peach crop was cut
off to a great extent, yet, it is believed that
there will be a sufficient quantity of fruit, in
favored localities, to supply the demand—for
culinary purposes, at least. Our respected
informant expressed the opinion that the ap
ple crop was a failure—very little remaining
on the trees.
The Young Ladies—Their Interest.
One of our contributors is engaged in the
preparation of a series of articles on one of
the most important subjects that concerns the
interest of the young, and of the country. —
These articles will shortly begin to appear in
our paper, and we hazard nothing in saving,
must prove very interesting and useful to a
large number of readers. Let all, therefore,
who have the good of the young and society’
at heart, subscribe at once, and thus place
these valuable teachings of mature thoughts
of a good and valued man among us, in ever}’
household. He has not hitherto been heard
from through these columns, and we feel con
fident that the productions of his pen will in
terest many of our readers. The articles, and
name of the author, may be looked for in a
week or so.
Good Corn.
We are informed that Wm. Moore, Esq., of
Randolph's District, has some 20 acres fresh
up-land in corn, which, according to the opin
ion of several gentlemen who are most com
petent judges, will yield seven barrels to the
acre. It is planted 2 feet in the drill, rows
4| feet apart. The beauty’ of the whole mat
ter is, that this crop is a pretty fair sample
of the crops generally, in the District.
The Product of One Grain.
D. A. Camp, Esq., of Mulberry, in this
county, brought to the News office, the other
day, a bunch of oats of over one hundred
stalks—the product of one grain that had
come up “ volunteer,” as the expression goes,
on the side of a ditch on his farm. The grain
is large and well developed, and most of the
heads fully a foot long. Stalks about four
feet high.
Examination and Exhibition at Harmony
Grove. —We are informed that Mr. R. S.
Cheney, the efficient and popular teacher of
the school at Harmony Grove, will have an
examination and exhibition at his school
house. on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 20th
and 21st. No doubt but that it will be a rich
treat to those who can attend, and we wish
heartily we could be there.
Re-Union of Capt. Reynolds’ Company—l6th
Georgia Regiment.
To-day—Saturday—as has been announced
heretofore, is set apart by this noble band of
“ veterans” for a re-union, at Centre Hill.—
A “ gala” time is expected, and it is sincerely
hoped there will be no disappointment. A
“ representative” of the News will, it is pre
sumed, be on hand.

splendid and popular Southern company, and

Insurance agents have made for themselves
handsome fortunes in a few years, besides

the man? Jackson is a good county to work
in the Insurance business.
THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.
The Jane and July Nos. of this old stand
ard and reliable agricultural monthly lies on
our table as we write. The Cultivator “ made
a reputation” before we ever put foot on the
soil of the “ Empire State,” and though it has
passed through various hands since that time,
yet. has its escutcheon remained unsullied,
and to-day, under the management of its pre
sent able editor and proprietor, Dr. Wm. L.
Jones, of Athens, it stands “head” as an old
and tried “ veteran” in the ranks of Southern
agriculture. Terms, $2.00 per annum.
THE BURIAL OF MR. THOS. J. MORRISON.
The burial of Mr. Morrison, who met with
such an untimely end last week, took place
on last Saturday, from the residence of Mr.
F. M. Bailey, of this town. His remains were
attended to their last resting place in the
“family burying ground,” near “McLester’s
factory,” some miles from Jefferson, by a
large number of sorrowing relatives and
friends. There was no regular funeral service
on the occasion; at the residence of Mr.
Bailey, Rev. A. J. Kelley r held prayer before
the removal of the body, and at the* grave an
appropriate hy r mn was sung by the large con
course, and the Throne of Grace addressed
in a fervent manner by Mr. Jacob Elrod.—
The coffin was then lowered to its final sta
tion, and amid the tears of loved ones left
behind, all that was mortal of one of Jack
son’s most esteemed citizens, was covered up
in “ mother earth”—a most solemn and im
pressive illustration of the declaration, “ dust
thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return.”
We learn that the funeral of the deceased
will be preached at Oconee Church, on the
first Sunday in August, by Rev. A. J. Kelley.
OUR COLORED FIREMEN AND THEIR VIS
ITING FRIENDS.
On Friday afternoon, of last week, we no
ticed some of the members of the Fire com
pany busily engaged in “ decking out” and
rigging up their “ masheen” with flowers and
evergreens. # On enquiry, we learned that
the next day, Saturday, was to be a gala day
with them ; that they were to have a parade,
dinner, &c., &c... and also that “ Relief, No.
2,” of Athens, had been invited to participate
in the festivities of the day.
In accordance therefore, with the above
noted programme, Saturday morning found
our “ city” thronged with the colored firemen
and their friends. “ Relief. No. 2,” had arriv
ed, and escorted by their Jefferson brethren,
were whiling away their time in visiting the
various places of interest in the city. Time
flies, however, and about half-past 11, the
rattling of drums and jingling of bells an
nounced the opening scenes of the day. To
make a long story short, the firemen, with
their engine decorated in fine style, and ac
companied by their invited guests and oth
ers, marched through the “ principal streets”
and finally “brought lip” in the grove on the
north-east side of town. Here they had ar
ranged for the entertainment of their friends
and fellow-firemen around the ‘ festive board.’
* * But just at this point, 1 o’clock and
after, there seems to be a hitch—every one
is waiting—“ still waiting.” Suspense, how
ever, is soon alleviated, and several town
and county dignitaries appear on the scene,
and among them Judge Howard, who had
been invited, on behalf of the Jefferson fire
men, to make an address of welcome to their
guests in particular, and their friends in gen
eral. After a few moments spent in placing
the companies in proper position, the Judge
performed the duty devolving on him, in an
exceedingly happy and appropriate style,
closing and taking his seat as “ three cheers
and a tiger for Judge Howard!” made the
welkin' ring.
The white gentlemen were then invited to
partake of dinner, the table being specialty
prepared for them. After they had refresh
ed themselves to their hearts’ content and
retired in “good order,” the Jefferson boys
and their guests done honor to the time and
occasion. This through, a third table was
arranged for those who had been assiduous
in their attention to the wants of those that
preceded them. “ And they all eat and were
filled,” and there was an abundance left.
The afternoon being now somewhat ad
vanced, the firemen again take up the line of
march, and after a test of their muscle in ex
ercising the machine, repair to their quarters
and house their engine—all, seemingly, in
the happiest mood, and without a single acci
dent or incident to mar the day’s pleasure.
At five, the colored Athenians took the train
homeward, where they arrived about nine—
all, as we have reason to know, well pleased
with their excursion, and profuse in their
praise of Jefferson and its firemen.
The whole affair was conducted in a highly
creditable manner, and that is our apology, if
any is needed, for the length of this article.
IdF’The Comptroller General decided that
cotton held on the first day of April is tax
able, and must be returned to the receiver,
as other personal property, in the county
where the owner resides. The fact of its
being stored in another county does not re
lieve the owner from returning it and paying
the tax on it.
“Home, Sweet Home.”
Ye managing editor paid a “ flying” visit
to his old “ stamping ground” Saturday after
noon last. In Athens, things are " just about
as usual” ; dull times being the chief com
plaint on all sides. In passing along the
street, we could, every once and a while,
hear the expression—“ Commencement!”
which seemed to be looked upon as a sort of
panacea for present ills. While in town, the
pleasure was afforded of calling on the edito
rial fraternity. These gentlemen, we found,
as ever, in fine spirits, and full of the “ milk”
of sociability. Times may be hard—money
scarce—provisions high: the Athenian edi
tor is never thrown off his equilibrium.—
“ Experience” has been his preceptor, and
these things “ move him not!” Especially
were we gratified in meeting that “ Prince of
Geniality” and gentlemanly cleverness, the
Agricultnral Editor of the Georgian. The
Prof, is as sanguine and hopeful as ever, and
says that the old dogma of “ lie who makes
two blades of grass to grow where but one
grew before,” has exploded ; grass is sponta
neous. “ But,” added the Prof., wanning up
with his subject, “it is he that makes tico
pigs to grow where but one grew before, who
will go down to posterity as the savior of his
countrymen.” Our genial friend also remark
ed, casualty, that he had incurred but one
serious obstacle in ascending the “ rugged
hill of science” on his “ pet theory.” He had
been bothered, yea, dumbfounded beyond
comprehension, in endeavoring to solve the
problem how it is, that the average Georgia
pig can drink a two gallon bucket level full,
of slop, and after so doing, if the pig is put
in the bucket, it won’t be half full. Not be
ing much of a “philosopher,” we were unable
to assist the Prof, in unravelling this “ hidden
mystery” ; so, bowing respectfully, we took
our leave—wishing all hands, especially the
agricultural editor, abundant success in all
coming time.
Oconee Grange, No. 391.
Editor Forest News: —The public are

the first Sabbath in August, at 1 o'clock, P.
M., in the church (Galilee) at Thompson’s
Mill, at the meeting of Oconee Grange, No.
391, and Oconee Agricultural Club, in re
sponse to a request by a committee, Miss
Annie Johnson will read an essay in behalf
of the two organizations, which essay will be
succeeded by a speech, delivered by Capt. A.
C. Thompson. The public are respectfully
invited to attend. We solicit the presence of
the ladies especially, as well as all the former
members of the Agricultural Club, and all
Grangers.
We also ask you to state that on Saturday
before the third Sabbath in July, at 1 o’clock,
in above named church, Mr. R. B. Cox will
address the Agricultural Club on the subject
of “ Small Farms.” The public are invited,

The Marietta Journal says : Rev. Mr.
Burkhead preached an able sermon at the
Methodist church last Sunday night. The
church was crowded to overflowing, and ma
ny ladies and, gentlemen had to turn away
for want of seats. ..The subject of his dis
course was Naainan, the leper, and he han
dled it in a grand and masterly manner.
We never tire of hearing Mr. Burkhead. He
is one of the most able and original preach
ers in the south.
farmers of Chattahoochee are do
ing their duty surety. The Columbus Times
prints some official statistics, by which it ap
pears that there are in that county 15,494
acres in grain crops, exclusive of cow or field
peas; while there are only 11,347 acres in
cotton. But there are only 5G acres in hay
or forage. There are 150 more acres in corn
than in cotton.
Settled Beyond a Doubt. —No one questions
the fact that more cases of whites, suppressed and
irregular menses and uterine obstructions, of
every kind, are being daily cured, by Dr. J. Brad
field’s Female Regulator, than by all other reme
dies combined. Its success in Georgia and other
States is beyond precedent in the annals of physic.
Thousands of certificates from women everywhere
pour in upon the proprietor. The attention of
prominent medical men is aroused in behalf of this
wonderful compound,and the most successful prac
titioners use it. If women suffer hereafetr 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 .
Cartkrsville, Ga., April 26, 1809.
This will certify that two members of my imme
diate family, after having suffered for many years
from menstrual irregularity, and having been
treated without benefit by various medical doctors,
were at length completely cured by one bottle of
Dr. J. Bradfield’s FEMALE REGULATOR. I
therefore deem it my 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 my own personal observation.
Its effect on such cases is truly wonderful, and well
may the remedy be called “ Woman’s Best
Friend.” Yours respectfully,
JAS. W. STRANGE.
