UP* We are requested to state that Elder
P. F. Lamar, will preach at Galilee church
Sunday and Sunday night next.
IdPMarshal Burns’ brigade are now mak
ing the “ dirt fly” all over town, and some of
the “ dilapidated” streets present quite a dif
ferent appearance from what they did a short
time since.
[ A note from Thomas A. Nunn, Esq.,
says : “Crops good in this part of the coun
ty. Corn is good—cotton better. Everything
looks well in this neighborhood. Fine lands
and flue people. Good meetings going on all
right.”
LnPMr. Joseph P. Bird, of Jackson coun
ty, and Mrs. Mary E. Warne, only daughter
of the late Col. S. J. Smith, of Banks county,
were united in marriage on Sunday morning,
Aug. Ist, by Rev. G. H. Cartledge, at the
residence of the bride’s mother.
TP"“ A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever,”
and to realize the force of the sentiment, one
has only to take a walk over to the beautiful
grounds, the nicely located fish-ponds, the
fine orchards and the tasty and handsome
residence of our “ rising” and enterprising
fellow-citizen, Col. J. B. Silman.
SP" Attention is called to the advertisement
of Thos. A. Nunn, Esq. This property, we
are informed, is well worthy the attention of
any one expecting or desiring to purchase.
The place is nicely located, premises com
fortably fitted up, and all things combined,
make it a desirable homestead.
t=P* John M. Carithers, the only son of Mrs.
M. E. Carithers, of Jackson county, departed
this life Sunday night, August Ist, in the
18th year of his age. lie was a worthy mem
ber of the Presbyterian church, and also of
the order of Good Templars. We extend our
hearty sympathies to his afflicted mother and
sister and other relatives.
UP*For several days and nights the present
week, the atmosphere has been very much
changed from what it was for the past few
weeks. Quilts and coverlets have been in
demand, especially “just before daj r .” The
“ knowing ones” seem to think the recent
rains were rather “ mixed up” with hail.—
Hence the change.
ever genial and fun-loving Sheriff,
J. S. Hunter, Esq., perpetrated a practical
** joke” on a rattlesnake, near his residence,
on Saturday evening last. Ilis snakeship
was ornamented with eleven rattles and a
button. Persons who saw it say it was a
rouser.” As in this case, the “Dr.” is
successful in auditing he under
takes.
UP* We tender thanks to many kind gen
tlemen who have insisted that the “Forest
News” should have a prominent place in the
nature at Beech Creek, to-day. We shall be
there, if possible. Everything, we learn,
promises a day of interest and instruction
from many minds of no ordinary calibre.—
In addition to several others, we learn Gen.
Colquitt will be present and address the
(no doubt) large assembly.
Up 1 The merry laugh, ’round about his
“ usual haunts,” of that genial and clever
young gentleman, Robbie Howard, tells most
unmistakably, that he is again “on hand ;”
and more, he is just from the Law School, at
Athens, returns now with the proper docu
ments, and will soon, no doubt, be initiated
in the “ arts and mysteries” of the legal fra
ternity. Mr. Howard, we understand, intends
“ locating” in Jefferson. In this we welcome
him. IV alk in, “ lemons,” and be squeezed !
UP"A full-blown cotton boll, with the fleecy
staple hanging in rich profusion, is the latest
sensation around about the News office. It
was taken from the stalk on the Ist of An-
gust, and comes from the plantation of C. W.
Finch, Esq., of this county. Our printer boys,
however, think the best “ joke*’ of the season
was perpetrated by their near neighbor and
most excellent farmer, J. E. Randolph, Esq.,
in presenting the “ office” some fine speci
mens of his melon crop. The verdict of the
“ grand inquest” is, “ Randolph’s melons
can’t be beat,” and “Prof.” Bill Hunter, at
his “emporium,” North-east corner of the
“ Randolph House,” has a “ few more left of
the same sort! !! ”
Later! —“Hang out your banner on the
outer walls—the cry is, still they come”—
and we are again under obligations to ’Squire
Randolph for a “ cantelope” weighing some
18 or 20 pounds. Ours is an “ independent
press,” and while we have on all occasions
commended the ’Squire for his many noble
traits of character, yet, as a defender and
promoter of the welfare of society in general,
we now most respectfully protest against his
manner and mode of life. A man so provi
dent in every respect, so successful in all his
various pursuits as farmer, trader and busi
ness-man generally, is, according to our judg
ment, committing a gross outrage on society,
by eking out the miserable existence of a
bachelor. Some of our lady readers may,
however, have to be consulted in the matter.
What say you, ladies ?
Value of Bermuda Grass.
A citizen of this place began to pasture
several head of horses on four acres of this
grass, about the first of May. They were
j worked hard through the Summer, fed on corn
only once a day ; but kept in good working
order through the season. A neighbor turn
ed his cow in this pasture when she was giv
ing about three pints of milk per day. Now,
at the expiration of only two weeks, the same
cow is giving upwards of two gallons of milk
! per day. What would do any better ?
I
Jackson Court of Ordinary.
Last Monday being the first Monday in the
month, was “ Court, in course.” So ye re
porter again finds some items or scraps of
news for the readers of the News, that pos
sibly may not prove altogether uninteresting.
His Honor Judge Howard disposed of a
considerable amount of business during the
day, and a portion of the time was honored
with quite a number of parties, witnesses and
spectators.
to sell the land of the late Bennett
Strickland, was granted to Thomas D. Hawks,
the Administrator of the estate of said de
ceased.
Henry D. Human, Administrator of Josiah
Human, obtained leave to sell the land of his
decedent.
The application of H. C. Appleby, Execu
tor of the will of the late James Appleby, for
leave to sell the land belonging to said de
ceased, was also granted.
David A. and Dilmas P. Camp produced
the will, and codicil thereto, of Berriman S.
Camp, who recently died, which was proven
in common form and admitted to record, the
propounders and nominated executors were
duly qualified and letters testamentary were
issued to them. This will is understood to
have disposed of a considerable amount of
property among the ofT-spring of this good
man. Hon. W. L. Marler, who wrote the
will, and whose excellent lady is a daughter
of the testator, was present counselling the
Executors.
Letters of Administration on the estate of
Abijah Wilbanks, deceased, were granted to
the applicants, H. M. and T. M. Wilbanks,
and appraisers were appointed to appraise
the estate.
Judson L. Johnson, minor of Mary E.
Johnson, being over fourteen } r ears old, and
standing in need of a Guardian, selected Mr.
W. C. Johnson, and the Court, adjudging the
choice to be a good one, confirmed it by ap
pointing Mr. Johnson.
Mr. P. R. Martin, one of the Executors of
Jonathan Martin, deceased, tendered his re
signation, which was accepted, upon his set
tling with the co-Executor, Mr. T. N. High
fill, who is henceforth to be charged with the
execution of the will.
Wm. M. Smith, Administrator of W. C.
Harris, deceased, filed an application for
leave to sell land. Citation ordered to issue.
The Court not being able to find some oth
er fit and proper person, proposed to vest the
Guardianship of certain minors in our popu
lar and efficient Clerk of the Superior Court;
but that clever gentleman, singularly enough,
evinced a decided disinclination to have re
sponsibilities thrust upon him in this wise,
and when this reporter retired from the Court
room, his Honor’s persuasive reasoning and
vague suggestions about proceedings for con
tempt, had alike failed to win the young gen
tleman from what the Judge seemed to re
gard “the error of his ways.” The reporter
notes the fact that some doubts are expressed
by several members of the legal fraternity as
to the power of the Ordinary to compel the
giving of a bond by the Clerk in such cases.
If such power does not exist, it would seem
like a lame place in the law, and one which
ought to be remedied, otherwise the adminis
tration of law in such cases appears to be im
practicable. Reflecting in this manner, your
reporter naturally asked himself the question,
what will the Judge do with these orphans ?
When it occurred to him that the benevolent
Ordinary would have to take them in charge
himself, according to a decision the reporter
remembers to have heard his Honor make
once upon a time. And thus the vexed ques
tion found a solution in the mind of the re
porter.
The only litigated case before the Court
was the case of W. P. Carter, applicant for
Letters of Administration on the estate of
Obadiah Carter, deceased, which application
was caveated by O. G. W. Carter. Applicant
was represented by Col. Silman, and caveator
was represented by Col. Pike. After hearing
some testimony and the arguments of these
legal gentlemen, the Judge over-ruled the
caveat, and decided to grant letters to the
applicant, from which decision caveator ap
pealed, paid the cost, gave bond and the case
therefore goes before Judge Rice for further
adjudication. This closed the business of
the daj”, and Uncle John, the Sheriff, by di
rection of the Court, proclaimed an adjourn
ment until the next regular term, when j’e
reporter hopes, if life and health will permit,
to be on hand again.
nPDr. H. J. Long, of Jefferson, Gn., has
purchased Dr. Baile}’’s elegant residence, on
Spring street, and we understand contem
plates making Gainesville his home. Dr. L.
is a splendid gentleman, and we extend to
him an earnest welcome. We suppose that
Dr. Bailey will now enter the ministry in
good earnest.
The above paragraph, taken from the
Gainesville Southron of the 4th instant, pre
sents us with a subject upon which we hardly
know how to comment. ’Tis true, we could
remark, we are sorry—very sorry to record
the fact. But that don't “ fill the bill.” Dr.
Long is Mayor of our town ; is one of the
most affable and hightoned gentlemen in the
county ; stands at the “ head of his profes
sion,” and the gravest and most important
question of all is, when he leaves who is to
fill his place ? With this question we dismiss
the subject, except to remark, that while we,
in common with the whole community, will
deplore his loss, yet, we believe there is no
place in which so clever and useful a citizen
as Dr. H. J. Long will be more highly appre
ciated than in the “ Queen City of the Moun
tains.”

had been suffering severely from suppressed men
struation and this medicine soon restored her to
health. She is to-day living in Atlanta sound and
