it may not be forgotten, we take
the liberty of reminding all interested, of the

of our “ best young men” spoke
of “ excurting” somewhah down below, the
latter part of the week. It mayn't be so,
but if they are as good “ declaimers” as they
ar epensmen, a prize is in store for them, sure.
RPThe “ legal fraternity” are soon to be
made happy b}- the opening of the “ fall rid
ing” of the Western Circuit. Already do we
see signs of “ sprucing up” among our own
‘‘bright, array.” Success to 3 T ou, gentlemen !
are gratified to learn that the
Banks County Academy, under the superin
tendence of Prof. W. H. Simpkins, is in quite
a flourishing condition. The school numbers
some 80 scholars!
\r From a statistical report published by j
the State School Commissioner, we perceive
the School population and Confederate sol
diers under 30 years of age, of Jackson coun
ty, is put down at 3,422, and the count3'’s
pro rata $1,201.53. .
Carter, a pauper lunatic, who was
carried to the Asylum several months since,
but who managed to get back to Jackson
somehow or other, was committed to jail the
other day—having become so unruly as to
endanger the safety of those with whom he
came in contact.
IdPFor the first peaches of the season that
have found their way to these head-quarters,
we are indebted to Peter McLester, (col.);
and the fact is recorded, not so much for the
courtesy extended, (for which, however, we
are grateful,) but more particularly to remark !
that Feter is a subscriber to the News, and
it is hoped many of his colored friends will,
follow his example—especially iu subscrib- 1
I ing for the paper.
IF* We paid a “flying visit” to Athens
Saturday last, reaching there about dark and
remaining till Monday afternoon. While in \
town we enjoj’ed the pleasure of a “ pop-call” j
and “ hand-shake” with all the brethren of;
the “ craft.” But Monday is a busy day i
with the newspaper men of Athens, It is j
ti'e day before publication”; and ever
since the month of November, 1836, this
fiame “ day before publication” has been, in ;
inany instances at least, an important epoch j
ii our humble history. We have heard a
f eat deal said—in fact, have heard many a
Cuss w ord” indulged in against intruders I
° n these occasions; hence we knew the ne
cessity of making our “ brotherly” interview
short— hoping for a better opportunity in the
fi.ture. And now, kind reader, if you would

Public Documents.
The Ordinary informs us that he has just
received the county's quota of public Acts of
last session of the Legislature, from the State
Librarian.
He has also received his file of the Southern
Watchman, containing legal advertisements
of the county from date of his qualification
up to the establishment of the Forest News,
neatly bound by the Franklin Steam Print
ing House, Atlanta, Ga.
The Tax Collector has also received his
receipt book, fixed up in admirable style by
J. P. Harrison & Cos., of the Franklin Print
ing House. These gentlemen are certainly
leading the van in their line, and deserve the
patronage they are receiving.
The 50th volume Georgia Reports has also
come to hand, we learn from Judge Howard.
In this connection, we desire to inquire
why is it that the public laws cannot be dis
tributed out among the people in a shorter
time after the session of the Legislature ?
The laws passed, scarcely get into the hands
of county officials before the Legislature is iu
session again, repealing many of them, and
passing others on same subject-matter, pro
ducing great changes. This thing ought not
so to be.
The Best is the Cheapest.
In the advertising columns of this week’s
issue will be found the advertisement of
Messrs. L. Sciievenell & Cos., dealers in
American and Imported Watches, Jewelry,
Silver and Plated Ware, Spectacles, Guns,
&c. We are satisfied, from our own person
al observation, that very few, if any, of the
many houses in the State, in the same line,
can exhibit a handsomer, larger, or more va
ried stock of goods than this enterprising
Athenian firm. In the department of Silver
ware. we have no hesitation iu saying that
there are but one or two establishments iu the
entire State that can make such a display as
we witnessed in looking through their beauti
ful, unique and extensive collection. In ad
dition to their usual line, they make “ Spec
tacles” one of tiie features of their house.
The most scrupulous care is taken in fitting
and suiting glasses, as circumstances may
demand, according to the wants of the custo
mer ; and to all who want spectacles or
glasses of any description, we recommend
the firm of L. Schevenell & Cos., Broad St.,
Athens, Ga.
IdF’Mr. Polk Boggs has quite an interest
ing writing class, numbering some thirty-five
or more scholars, at Oak Grove Academy.—
Now, this little classic spot was the scene,
a few days since, of one of those happy and
pleasing episodes which leave such vivid
impressions on the memory and brightens up
the pathway of youth and childhood in their
journey through this “ vale of tears.” It was
thusly : One day this week, while the schol
ars were closely engaged with their lessons,
and thinking but little of the outside world,
who should drive up but 'Squire F. M. Hol
liday, with a load of some forty or fifty
superb watermelons, which he at once, with
characteristic liberality, turned over to the
respected preceptor and his. now, delighted
•• little flock.” Little more needs to be said
—full justice was done the melons, and those
happy scholars would not be satisfied until
Hieir thanks were thus publicly tendered to
their kind friend for his acceptable “treat.”
Something for the Young Folks.
Among the numerous exchanges that now
grace our table “ editorial,” we find “ The
} uunj Folks' Gem," a neat and handsomely
illustrated eight-page monthly, devoted to the
interests, the amusement and the instruction
of the young people. Published at the low
price of 30 cts. a year. Sample copies free
to any address. We will take pleasure in
showing this paper to any one desiring to see
it. Judging from our own standpoint, we
are constrained to say we think the publica
tion a good one for the objects in view.
Address John A. Clarke, Publisher, Wads
worth, Medina Cos., Ohio.
Good News-
We are authorized by Mr. R. H. Boon, to
say to all persons who are raising the sorghum
cane, that he will be prepared to make it up
into syrup—having ordered one of Cook’s
latest patented portable Mills and Evapora
tor. This is a step in the right direction.—
The syrup from the sorghum, made in an
Evaporator, is the best syrup in our markets.
It is a crop that our farmers should raise
more extensively. We hope Mr. Boon will
be liberally patronized. He will be prepared
to go whenever called upon. Having known
him for years, we can recommend him as be
ing an honest, upright gentleman.
The Savannah Morning News.
We tender our acknowledgraevts to Col.
Estill for his courtesy in honoring us with
his daily as an exchange. The Morning
News is one qf the best papers in Georgia,
and to any one wanting a paper from the
seaboard, we have no hesitation in recom
mending this lively and interesting sheet.
For particulars, see prospectus in another
column.
Mrs. T- A. Adams,
One door above the National Bank, Athens,
Ga., is still as well prepared as ever, to suit
the tastes of her numerous patrons of North
east Georgia. Ladies’ Hats, Bonnets, Flow
ers. Gloves, Laces. &c., of all the latest fash
ions and styles will be here found in abund
ance. Give her a call, ladies, and satisfy
i yourselves that what we say is “ exactly so.”
S aTA gentleman handed us a few stalks of
wheat, the other day, from the premises of
i Col. Holder, which, he said, had their growth
ten feet from the surface of the earth, and yet
did not grow on a rock nor on any wooden
structure. The grains were of respectable
I size. Here is a nut for somebody to CTack !

TEMPERANCE LECTURE AT HOMER.
Come One, Cflrnc All!
•
By a note addressed to Judge Howard,
from Prof. W. H. Simpkins, we learn that
Hon. J. J. Hickman, of Kentucky, will be in
Homer on the 7th of August, and will deliver
temperance lectures both day and night.
There is to be a mass meeting of the friends
of the cause and temperance organizations.
The public at large are respectfully invited
to be present. It is hoped Col. Hickman
may be induced to give Jefferson a call.
Fine Peaches.
To the lady members of the household of
Col. J. B. Silman, of Jefferson, the Managing
Editor and his entire “ working staff” make
their grateful obeisance for a basket of peach
es that “would do credit” to the best “fruit
season” known to the oldest inhabitant. The
beauty and size of this fruit fully demon
strates what can be accomplished b} T pains
and attention, while the fact was patent that
to have good fruit, judgment is required (such
as is shown in this instance) in the selection
of trees from which to bear.
We have not, as yet, had the pleasure of
visiting the premises of Col. Silman, but learn
that he has one of the most beautiful and j
handsome locations in town, surrounded with
many of those modern improvements and
adornments which go so far in making “home
h a PP.Y-” To the gallant Colonel and his
amiable household, we again repeat, “thanks !”
We will Remember Youl
An enterprising and public spirited gentle
man—a merchant in a neighboring city—
who is, in the strict acceptation of the term,
one of nature’s noblemen—informed us the
other day, that he took every possible occa
sion to impress on the minds of his Jackson
customers the importance of sustaining their
county paper. Said he, “ there is not one
but what can pay for it in some way—if not
in money, in something equivalent. All
hands connected with the establishment have
to be supported ; this requires wheat, corn,
butter, chickens, and in fact everything that
can be made use of in a domestic point of
view; then, why hesitate to take the paper
when it can be obtained with so little trou
ble !” Our friend was right. We thank him
for his interest, and a good word will not be
lacking in due season in his behalf.
At “The Little Store on the Corner”
Of Broad and Jackson street, we found our
young friend, Thos. M. Brooks, a few days
since, while on a visit to the cit} r of Athens.
Like all true “ sons” he wanted to hear from
home, therefore he subscribed for the News.
At this same “ little store” are two other
“ amiable yonng men” —but they are modest
—extremely so—and do not seem to want to
come before the public just now. Still, if
you visit their “ little store,” you will find
them the very quintescenee of urbanity and
politeness.
J. 11. F leming, the genial and hand
some representative of the wholesale t obacco
house of Thomas, Fleming <£ Son, Athens,
Ga., was in town one day this week, looking
after the interests of that sterling and popular
house. We hope our merchants will patron
ize this house, as it is the pioneer in this line
in North-east Georgia, and one which is every
way reliable.
IdPTo Mr. E. G. Wigginton, who lives
some two miles from Jefferson, the editor and
printers of the News would ‘bow” for a “gor
geous bait” of watermelons on Thursday last.
Mr. Wigginton is one of our most intelligent
citizens — takes the News and several other
papers—consequently, knows “how to do
things up brown !”
election of councilman in the 3rd
Ward, to fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Mr. Malcom Stafford, held Monday,
‘26th inst., resulted as follows : T. A. Burke,
51; Isaac S. Moon, 17. —Athens N. E. Geor
gian, 28th.
While we felt highly honored in our own
election last December, we are, if anything,
still more gratified in having a gentleman of
so many good qualities to succeed us. We
therefore congratulate, not only Mr. Burke,
but the 3d ward, in having so able a “ counsel
lor” in the city government; and an ex-edi
tor and typo at that! —Ed. News.

Joy to the World ! Women is Free!—
Among the many modern discoveries looking to
the happiness and amelioration of the human
race, none is entitled to higher consideration than
the renowned remedy—Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female
Regulator, Woman's Best Friend. By it woman
is emancipated from numberless ills peculiar to
her sex. Before its magic power all irregularities
of the womb vanish. It cures whites. It aures
suppression of the menses. It removes uterine
obstructions. It cures constipation and strength
ens the system. It braces the nerves and purities
the blood. It never fails, as thousands of women
will testify. This valuable medicine is prepared
and sold by L. H. Bradtield, Druggist Atlanta
Ga., Price $1.50 per bottle. All respectable drug
men keep it.
SOUND AND WELL.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 29, 1868.
Dr. J. Bradjield —Dear Sir :—I take pleasure
in stating that, sometime previous to the late
war, I used, with the utmost success, on a servant
girl, your Female Regulator, prepared then
at Bradfield's Drug Store, West Point, Ga. She
had been suffering severely from suppressed men
struation and this medicine soon restored her to
health. She is to-day livrng in Atlanta sound and
well. I will state 'farther, that I know of its
being used with equal success in other cases. I
do not hesitate to indorse your preparation for
the purposes for which you recommend it.
Yours truly, JXO. C. WHITNER.
