IdF'The News is one of the sufferers of vacation. No more “original poetry” till school opens again. IS There’s always a calm after the storm —so says the old adage—and now Jefferson looks like “ some banquet hall deserted.” IdPMr. Salmon, representing Mattox & Rucker, wholesale tobacco merchants, At lanta, Ga., was in town one day this week.— He is a thorough business man, and the house is a good one. Northeast Georgian says the color ed firemen of that city are going to Washing ton. That’s one of the effects of the splendid treatment they received at the hands of their colored brethren of Jefferson. i # Some of our bachelor friends grow elo quent in their extollation of the festivities of Commencement, and with their faces wreath ed in smiles, declare they enjoyed this Com mencement better than any one in thirty years. IC Several parties have passed through! •1 efferson for the “ up-country”—in search of health and recreation, no doubt.

Let all come with their baskets "ell filled. It is hoped and believed there " ill be some good speeches on the occasion. it - Although there were a great many col °red folks in town on Saturday last, the be havior of all, on that occasion, was highly commendable, and speaks well for them as a w hole. No drunkenness or indecency occur red to mar the pleasure of the day in the least. I e regret to learn, as we do through a n °* e fr° i n A. A.

Religious Notice. \\ e are requested to give notice that Elder M. Foster will preach at Galilee c lurch to-day and to-morrow—3d Saturday f Sunday. “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. When they build a railroad, the first thing they do is to break 'ground. This is often done with great ceremony. Then they break the stockholders. This is done without cere - mony. $3.10 Cash, Will secure The Forest News and Southern Cultivator for one year, to any subscriber in Jackson county. 'W-A.JSTTEID ! Here’s the Chance 11 Now’s the Time 1\ 1 See advertisement of Mobile in this week’s issue. To a man who will take hold of this splendid and popular Southern company, and work it energetically, there is money. Live Insurance agents have made for themselves handsome fortunes in a few years, besides building up an annual income from renewal premiums. Here is your chance! Who is 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 respectfully informed that on Saturday before 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, and we beg all former members of the Club to be sure and be present. PA. C. Thompson, W. M. L. T. Busii, Sec'y. 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. June 26th, 1875. aero ikbertisements.
