THE CAMP MEETING,
At W ood’s Camp Ground, was opened in the
usual manner on Friday night of last week,
and closed on Wednesday morning last.—
From persons present most of the time, we
are favored with the following particulars:
The ministers present were, Revs. L. Rush;
A. G. Worley, Presiding Elder; Mr. Ander
son, Mulberry Circuit; Mr. Foote, Agent
Orphans’ Home ; W. A. Farris, Jefferson Cir
cuit; Mr. Hughes; Dr. G. L. McCleskey,
Athens ; J. R. Lyle, Oconee county; Lee M.
Lyle, Wm. Seymour, John M. Venable, J. J.
Ross, of Jackson county. Of these a good
many are local preachers. The attendance
was considered very good, under all the cir
cumstances. The busy season of “ fodder
pulling” and the two-weeks’ Court that ended
on Saturday, each had its effect in diminish
ing to some degree, the number usually pres
ent. The crowd on Sunday was quite large,
and it is gratifying to chronicle the fact that
the utmost decorum and good order was ob
served. The services throughout were very
interesting—preaching excellent—some of
the ministers even far excelling their efforts
in the past; and what is always considered
a good omen, the interest and attentiveness
of the congregations was unflagging to the
very close of the meeting. As before re
marked, it is gratifying to note the good be
havior and good order preserved throughout
the entire meeting, as nothing occurred to
mar the hannony of the exercises and services
of the occasion. The result, “ spiritually,”
has been some 12 accessions to the church;
hundreds have had their “ strength renewed,”
“ Zion has been prospered,” and great good
has, no doubt, been done; the influence of
which will never be known till the Great
Head of the church “makes up His jewels”
at the last “ Grand Assize.”
By the following resolution, it will be seen
the time of holding the meeting hereafter has
been permanently fixed:
At a meeting of the tent-holders, at Wood’s
Camp Ground, Jackson county, Ga., on Mon
day, the 6th of September, 1875, it was re
solved that the Camp Meetings, at that place,
embrace the 4th Sabbath in September, an
nually, for all time to come, commencing on
Wednesday night before, at the next meeting.
The End of Court.
Our report of Court, last week, ended with
12 M. Friday. On the afternoon of that day
a land case between Messrs. J. S. Hunter and
Jesse Williams was taken up, and consumed
the balance of the day—the jury rendering a
verdict in favor of Mr. Hunter about 8 or 9
o’clock at night. The jury in the case of the
State vs. Peter King and Ben Moore, never
agreed, and consequently they were discharg
ed on Saturday morning—the case remaining
untried. After this, nothing of importance
transpired, as we know of. Some minor mat
ters were considered, perhaps, and some
where between nine and ten o’clock, A. M.,
Sheriff Hunter “proclamated” the Court as
adjourned.
Asa faithful chronicler of passing events,
it is with pleasure we note the fact that dur
ing the two weeks of Court there was very'
little, indeed, of anything like drunkenness
or misbehavior, notwithstanding there was
such a crowd—especially the first week of
the session. May it be ever thus. To those
good friends who called at the Forest News
office and cheered us in our “ editorial jour
ney,” both in word and deed, we return our
profound acknowledgments, hoping that their
good wishes for the success of our enterprise
may be more than realized in the future.
Religious Meetings.
From Rev. W. A. Farris, we learn that very
encouraging and interesting meetings have
been held recently on his “ work” at Holly
Springs, Wilson’s and at Harmony Grove.
The accessions to the church were five at the
first mentioned, seven at the second, and
eight at the last named. While this may
seem, and is, comparatively, a small result,
yet the greatest amount of good accomplish
ed has been to the “churches” individually
as well as collectively. At all, or nearly so,
of these churches, backsliders have been re
claimed ; the cold and lukewarm have been
“baptized afresh,” while schism and jealousy,
hatred and malice have all given way to the
power and influence of the Holy Spirit; ene
mies have become friends, and neighbors
have become nearer and dearer to each other
than ever before. And while on this subject,
we trust we do not transcend the bounds of
propriety in expressing gratification at the
results of a meeting recently held at Farm
ington, Oconee county. There, we learn, a
great work has been accomplished in the
healing up of “ old wounds” and “ putrifying
sores” among the members of the church, and
now, instead of being at loggerheads, they
are vieing with each other in illustrating
“ how beautiful it is for brethren to dwell to
gether in unity.”
Married,
On the 9th instant, by Rev. John Calvin
Johnson, Mr. James A. Nichols, of Clarke
county, and Miss Emma R. Collier, of Oconee
county.
Thanks, profound, for an invitation to be
present at a “ reception” in honor of the hap
py bridegroom at the “old homestead.”—
May the journey of this affectionate couple
through the winding and devious paths of this
mundane sphere, be one of unalloyed pleasure
and prosperity.
Cotton. Tax Suspended.
The following order, for reasons assigned,
has been issued by Gov. Smith: —
Ordered, That the comptroller instruct the
several tax collectors of this state to suspend
the collection of tax upon cotton and other
products in the hands of farmers and produ
cers on the first day of April last, until the
next meeting of the general assembly of this
state.

Our Neighboring City
Of Athens is beginning to shake off the dust
of Summer and prepare for the “ Fall cam
paign.” It was our privilege to “ mix” some
what with the business men of the city on
Monday last, and on all hands we found them
“hope up” with an expected revival of
trade ere long. When the auspicious time
arrives, some of them will be “ heard” through
the columns of the News. And we take this
occasion to return thanks for the many flat
tering compliments paid to our little “ bant
ling” of the forest , not only on Monday, but
various other occasions.
Our brethren of the editorial fraternity seem
to be thriving, as they (the weeklies we
mean) are each in receipt of new material for
the further adornment of their already hand
some sheets. Capt. Carlton has added to the
“ editorial staff” of his paper in the person
of Mr. P. A. Stovall, a young man of ac
knowledged ability and capacity, and who
has had some experience in the editorial man
agement of the “ University Magazine .” And
at the same time, the Captain speaks very
confidently as regards the starting of the
Athens Daily Georgian. Having spent the
best if not the most of our days in the .print
ing offices of Athens, we wish their proprie
tors abundant success in all their enterprises,
simply admonishing them to remember —
“ All’s well that ends well /”
We found Dr. Jones, of the Cultivator, and
the worthy attachees of his office, all moving
on in the “ even tenor of their way”—doing
good and faithful service in their particular
field of labor. Long live this ever vigilant
sentinel on the watch-tower of Southern agri
culture !
Public Address on Agriculture.
We have been requested to announce that
Gen. A. H. Colquitt, and others, will ad
dress the Grangers, farmers, and all others
interested, on the subject of Agriculture, at
Jefferson, Sept. 14th, 1875. The public gen
erally, and the ladies especially, are invited
to attend. Each one is requested to bring a
basket of provisions. It is earnestly hoped
that the citizens generally, and especially
every farmer in the county, will turn out, and
bring their wives and daughters, as all will
certainly be entertained and benefitted by the
General’s practical, common-sense way of
presenting the claims of the most important
matters connected with the agricultural in
terests of the State.
Nice Syrup.
Mr. R. 11. Boon sends us a sample bottle of
syrup made with his new Evaporator. The
sample sent has been pronounced excellent,
with the exception of being a little too thin ;
beautiful in color, and in taste quite palata
ble indeed. In his note to us, Mr. B. says
cane properly cared for and stacked will make
good syrup three months after being cut.
People, therefore, need not be in too great, a
hurry to have their cane ground up and cook
ed—especially as some little notification is
necessary whenever his services are needed.
With Mr. B.’s Evaporator, the cane from | of
an acre made 70 gallons of syrup.

Editor Forest News —Dear Sir: —Permit
me, through your valuable paper, to say to
the gentlemen of the Grand Jury of Jackson
county, at the August term, 1875, that I feel
complimented by the favorable mention of
my name in connection with the Judgeship of
the County Court, as recommended in their
General Presentments at the close of said
term of the Superior Court.
Asa citizen of said county, I have long
thought that such a Court, properly conduct
ed, would save a great deal to the tax-payers
thereof, and by the speedy enforcement of
laws, in minor offences, greatly reduce the
number of such offences, and have a good ef
fect on society.
If their recommendation should meet with
the approval of the Governor, and I should
be appointed to said office, it shall be my con
stant and earnest desire to administer the
laws in such a manner that they may not re
gret their recommendation.
Respectfully, M. M. Pittman.
* Jefferson , Ga., Sept. 6,1875.
15PA correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution, writing from Dawsonville, under
date of Sept. Ist, pays the following tribute
to a quartette of Rev. gentlemen whom we all
delight to honor and respect:—
The Lumpkin camp meeting commenced
last Wednesday night and continued until
Tuesday morning following. To an Atlan
tian it was quite familiar to listen to three
splendid discourses by Rev. Mr.Potter, form
erly presiding elder of the Atlanta circuit,
while the sonorous voice of Rev. J. M. Dickey
rang clear above wails of the anxious and the
glad shouts of the ransomed. Rev. Mr. Wil
liams, of Athens, preached several sermons,
which evidenced not ouly deep insight into
human nature, but an exalted scholarship.
It is not usually in order to criticise a ser
mon, but I hope I will be pardoned the sug
gestion that if Mr. Williams would condense
a little more, and use fewer adjectives, thus
securing terseness, he would take his stand
as one of the first pulpit orators of the union.
Rev. J. R. Parker, the presiding elder, is a
gentleman of fine address, Christian courtesy,
and the energetic earnestness of a Paul. He
is doing a good work, for which he will re
ceive the reward of the faithful. His wife,
Mrs. Parker, a charming lady, accompanies
her husband in his visitations, and it is diffi
cult to tell which receives the most attention
—the elder or his wife. There were over
3,500 persons on the ground on Sunday,
when Mr. Potter made one of the grandest
sermons of his life.
On Sunday morning there was quite a soci
ety flutter among the fair sex, a double mar
riage taking place on the campgrounds. The
first couple was Mr. Silas V. Palmer and
Miss Indiana Johnson, and the second cou
ple was Mr. James Martin and Miss Emma
Garmond.
LdPX’otton is opening very fast under the
influence of the extremely warm weather—
for the season.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS,
AUGUST TERM SUPERIOR COURT, JACKSON COUN
TY, GEORGIA, 1875.
The Grand Jury of the Superior Court, Au
gust Term, 1875, of Jackson county, make
the following General Presentments :
The committees appointed from our body
to examine the books relative to the financial
condition of our county, have reported that
the irregularity existing between the assess
ments, collections and disbursements are so
great, and their time so limited, that they can
not arrive at any certain or satisfactory un
derstanding of the matter. We, therefore,
recommend that our foreman appoint three
(3) competent men, at a salary of two dollars
and fifty cents ($2.50) per day each, to ex
amine all the books of the Tax Receivers,
Tax Collectors, Treasurers, Ordinaries and
County Commissioners from the first day of
January, 1866, to August Term Superior
Court, 1875, and report the result directly to
Hon. Judge of Superior Court, at February
term, 1876.
We think this to be necessary, because the
report of a former committee was reported to
a Grand Jury, and from some cause it has
never been given to the public.
We find the books of the Ordinary, Clerk,
Sheriff, and County Commissioners kept in a
neat and intelligible manner; also, the books
of Notarys Public and Justices of the Peace
of various Districts.
We have examined the jail, and find it un
healthy and unsafe.
Having confidence in the intelligence and
integrity of our County Commissioners, we
recommend that they immediately build anew
jail, or repair the old one, at the present or
anew location, as they see proper.
We recommend to supply safe and con
venient arrangements for the Ordinary’s
Sheriff’s and Clerk’s offices, and for all books
and papers pertaining to their respective of
fices.
We find most of the roads in excellent or
der. The one in front of Mr. Lish Bailey’s,
in Harrisburg District, needs ditches through
his lane.
McLester’s and Pittman’s Bridges, on
North Oconee river, Tallasee and McClesky’s,
on Middle Oconee, and Johnson’s Bridge, on
Mulberry, need repairs.
We recommend a County Court, and M.
M. Pittman, Esq., as Judge, at a salary of
five hundred dollars ($500) per annum. And
that our Representatives in the Legislature
have the same special acts for our county that
are now in force in the County Court of
Clarke county.
It has come to our knowledge that Bills of
Indictment, by former Grand Juries, have,
by some means unknown to us, been “ Nol
prossedf and it is our opinion that the evi
dence was sufficient to have convicted the
parties. We feel constrained to say that the
course pursued was not in accordance with
the intention of the law, and does not meet
the approbation of our people.
We recommend our Tax Collector, in pay
ing the State tax, not to take the County tax
for that purpose, but, at the expiration of the
time for collection, to issue executions against
all defaulting tax-payers, without respect to
persons, and let the insolvency to State and
county fall where it belongs.
James L. Johnson, L. Y. Bradberry and
John Simpkins are appointed the committee
to examine the books of the finances of the
county.
We return our sincere thanks to his Honor
Judge George D. Rice, for his kindness to
our bod}’.
