BRIEFLETS.
EPBusiness lookiHg up I”
Sorghum” is the watchword!
Cotton is beginning to hunt a market I
£ o’'Farmers and merchants shake hauds
cordially.
BF* Weather dry and hot, day-time—nights
cool and pleasant.
V Mr. F. M. Whitmire, of this county, we
regret to learn, died of consumption, last
Wednesday.
Clerk of the Superior Court has
ordered a lot of blank executions printed,
and he and the Sheriff are 44 thick as two in a
bed.” Look out! they mean business I
tW Judge Howard says he trusts to luck
these hard times. Luck, indeed ! with cold
weather a’ starin’ the poor young people in
the face, and when they can buy three or four
marriage licences with the price of one pair
of blankets! Don’t call it luck, Judge, when
the game’s all in your own hand.
tdPWe overheard a good friend remark
the other day that he expected to get fifty
dollars shortly. We won’t say who he was,
for should he be in the same category with
many others of us, he’d have more visitors
than he would probably like to entertain.
LV’ Mr. J. H. Smith has our thanks for a
club of ten subscribers at Pond Fork. On
ward and upward is now the watchword of
the News ! Ten strike—set up the pins !
clever young friend, A. A. Bell,
Esq., of Athens, put in an appearance on our
streets Monday afternoon. Though Jefferson
perhaps, does not claim him as her own, just
now, yet, with pride, she can point to him,
and say to all her young men, “go thou and
do likewise.”
BF’Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Kinnebrew, of Ogle
thorpe county, are in town in attendance on
their son Mr. R. IT. Kinnebrew, who has been
lying quite sick for a week or so past, at
the residence of Dr. McCarty. At this time
(Thursday afternoon) however, we are grati
fied to learn, he is improving.
BPIt is currently reported that Dr. J. M.
Venable is about to return to Jefferson and
resume the practice of his profession again
in our town. Dr. Hunt, who we learn, is as
sociated with Dr. V. in the practice of medi
cine at Jonesboro’, Ga., has been spending a
week or so in our midst, “ looking round.”
energetic citizen and successful
farmer, J. E. Randolph, Esq., is preparing—
and has been for some time—for a large crop
of small grain next year. He knows “ which
side of his bread is buttered.”
BF*We “interviewed” Judge M. M. Pitt
man a day or two since, when he informed us
that he thought his County Court would be
organized next week. And then, look out, }e
offenders ! “ Sharp and quick,” we believe,
is the motto of County Courts.
BPMr. I). W. Hi ’tciiens, living three miles
east of Jefferson, lost a verj’ interesting little
boy, something over two years old, last Sat
urday. His disease was liux and fever, and
he lived only a week after he was taken sick.
Mr. Hutchens and famity have the condolence
of many sympathizers in their affliction.
BF“Our fellow-countyman and friend of the
Forest News, Mr. J. J. Hunter, left for Ath
ens last Monday morning, whither he goes to
take charge of the books of J. C. Pitner &
Cos., Refugee block. John has been “lying
low” for some time, but will be “ wide awake”
for his friends when they visit the precincts
of chicken avenue.
forcibly were we reminded of the
old maxim, “ by industry we thrive,” on step
ping into the premises of Judge Simpkins a
few days since, and finding the Judge and
his estimable lady, surrounded by several
assistants, all busily engaged in “ evaporat
ing,” grinding and manipulating Sorghum
cane into syrup. The Judge is one of our
best “ well-to-do” citizens, and keeps things
“ a'movin’ ” round about him.
BP’Jefferson has, for the last week or so,
been passing through the “ deep waters” of
affliction. With the loss of one most estima
ble citizen, another lying at death’s door,
and a young gentleman—a student—who has
endeared himself to our citizens by his many
virtues, dangerously sick —the good people
of the town have had cause to feel that their
“ cup” was indeed running over. Still, amid
all, they have borne themselves submissively
—seemingly, by their actious, to say, “ Thy
will, and not ours be done !”
reflection was most vividly brought
to mind the other day—how much real good
some men do, and how useful they are to so
ciety, and still they are the humblest, most
unpretending and modest of the human fam
ily. Take, for instance, our worthy friend
and “ brother,” Billy Winburn ; he fii*s the
station of sexton to the Methodist church,
is a most excellent and reliable mechanic,
fills the place of “ undertaker,” and if the sick
are to be visited no one is readier or more
willing ; and thus it is—a cheering word in
one place—a good deed here—a kind and be
nevolent act somewhere else ! Oh, how much
the world is indebted to such men, and how
little it appreciates their noble traits.
Town Election.
As we go to press, our Municipal election
is quietly progressing, No riots apprehend
ed ; military all reposing quietly in their
quarters.
Town Ordinances of Jefferson.
We commence this week, (and hope to con
clude next,) the publication of the Ordinances
of the town of Jefferson, to which we invite
the attention of all concerned and interested.
These “ documents*’ published in this way,
will receive far greater publicity than if pub
lished in pamphlet form, and those desiring
to preserve them can do so with very little
trouble.
Agricultural Statistics of Jackson County.
To Mr. Geo. W. Brown, the efficient Re
ceiver of Tax Returns, are we indebted for
the following statistical table—which will be
found quite interesting, not only to our own
people, but to those abroad who feel an in

The Religious Services at the Methodist
Church,
Which commenced last Saturday forenoon,
under the auspices of Rev. W. A. Farris,
Pastor, have been progressing from daj T to
day up to the present (Friday morning,) with
increasing and unabated interest. The peo
ple of Jefferson and vicinity have been the
recipients, during the time, of a “ feast of
reason” indeed, in the able and convincing
manner in which the “ Word” has been pre
sented to them by the ministering servants
of the Most High. Mr. Farris has been aided
in the labors of the meeting by Rev. G. H.
Cartledge, of the Presbyterian church, Rev.
Mr. Anderson, of the Mulberry Circuit, also
from time to time, by several of the local
ministers, among whom we may mention
Prof. Lee M. Lyle, Capt. J. A. Venable, Wm.
Seymour, J. J. Ross, and others perhaps,
with whose names we are not familiar. Ser
vices have been held three times a day, and
it is a pleasure to note that most of the
places of business have been closed during
meeting hours. Several have joined the
church and the “ mourners’ bench” has been
filled daily, to overflowing, by those desiring
to “ flee the wrath to come !”
P. S.—Rain set in about 9$ o’clock, Fri
da}’ morning, which may retard the further
progress of the meeting.
More Fine Syrup.
A highly esteemed friend sends us a bottle
of most excellent syrup, accompanying which
was the following urbane billet doux:
Dear Sir :—On the eve of leaving for
Gainesville, I send you, in obedience to the
wishes of one of the parties, a bottle of
sorghum syrup, manufactured by Mr. Taylor
Roberts, on Capt. A. C. Thompson’s Evapo
rator. The cane was a little too green, but
I think you will pronounce it a first-rate ar
ticle. Capt. T.’s Evaporator, with Roberts
at the helmn, has never failed to make a No.
1 article. Generally it is a little thicker than
the sample I send you. Wishing j'ou suc
cess, I am.
Respectfully, yours, .
P. S.—The cane from one quarter of an
acre made 42 gallons of syrup. The land on
which it grew was extra river bottom. Cane
should never be planted on poor land un
helped. .
On trial, the syrup was found to come fully
up to the expectations of our valued friend.
All the gentlemen named above are among
the “jewels” of Jackson county, and are en
deavoring not only to “live at home” them
selves, but leave no stone unturned in incul
cating their doctrine, in this respect—both by
precept and example—in the minds of their
fellow-citizens.
N. B.—At the hands of Mr. Wm. Hague
wood, we have received a 44 second edition”
of Syrup from Mr. Taylor Roberts, which
was made on the Evaporator of Mr. A. C.
Thompson. This is pronounced, by judges,
to be a most excellent article—little inferior
to honey. With such skillful mauipulation
as this it will soon be unnecessary to send
abroad for sweetnin ’ of any kind.
IdF’Prof. I. S. Hopkins, of Emory College,
John W r . Glenn, of Jackson county, and Rev.
Josiah Lewis, Jr., of the North Georgia Con
ference, have accepted Professorships in the
Southern University at Greenesboro’, Ala.
We find the above scrap of rather ‘‘bad
news” among the items of some of our ex
changes. And though the mere fact of being
associated with such men as Prof. Hopkins,
and more especially our highly esteemed and
personal friend, Rev. Josiah Lewis, Jr., is an
inducement well worthy the consideration of
any one, we still hope Prof, Glenn will re
consider the matter, and let his connection
with Martin Institute remain intact.
EdPßain ! More rain, at last.
Editorial Visitor.
Capt. H. H. Carlton, Editor of the Ath
ens Georgian, honored our sanctum with his
presence last Tuesday. The Capt. came to
Jefferson in company with Gen. Colquitt,
who made a most magnificent address to the
farmers, grangers and public generally on
that day—notice of which appears elsewhere.
We were pleased to hear from Capt. C. that
the Georgian —which has undergone anew
“ top-dressing” and been otherwise greatly
improved—is still on the 44 go ahead,” and
at the same time he thinks, from the very
flattering encouragement already received,
that the Daily Georgian will be successfully
launched on the “ sea of public favor” at no
distant day.

“Accidents Will Happen in the Best Regu
lated Families,”
As was demonstrated by an omission made
last week in the Presentments of the Grand
Jury published in that issue of the Forest
News. In the paragraph of the Presentments
relative to the “ books” of the several county
officers, the words “ Tax Receiver” were ac
cidentally omitted, and should have read :
We find the books of the Ordinary, Tax
Receiver, Clerk, Sheriff, and County Commis
sioners kept in a neat and intelligible man
ner ; also, the books of Notaries Public and
Justices of the Peace of the various Districts.
We correct this mistake with a great deal
of pleasure on the one hand, and with sincere
regret that it is necessary to do so, on the
other; because it has only been a few weeks
since we were much gratified in looking over
Mr. Brown’s book, to find it a model of neat
ness and accuracy.
Dr. J. D. Long,
Who we mentioned last week as lying in a
most critical condition, is still alive, and
though extremely low, nevertheless, from the
fact that he has 44 weathered the storm” up to
the present, some faint hopes are now enter
tained for his recovery. Truly would he “be
missed” were he gone, and that the above
noted “ hope” may be realized is, we feel, the
fervent and heartfelt prayer of every citizen
of Jefferson. We hope to be able to state
more concisely his condition before going to
press this (Frida} r ) afternoon.
Since the above was written, we hear, with
profound gratitude, that all the symptoms,
at present, are favorable to the Dr.’s recovery.
Professor Jordan,
After a few days’ absence, is again at his
post in his elegant “ Car of Art,” where he is
ready, willing and waiting to furnish the
belles and beaux, the young and old, the
great and small, with pictures of every de
scription known in the art of Photography.
As stated last week, the Professor gives uni
versal satisfaction in the execution of all his
work. Don’t fail to call on him if you want
a life-like picture!

In Memoriam.
Death has again entered our community,
and has stricken down another victim.—
Robert Thomas Carititkrs, a member of
Stonewall Lodge, No. 214, 1. O. G. TANARUS., is no
more. Asa brother, a neighbor and a friend,
we mourn his loss; and we deeply sympa*
thize with his bereaved widow and daughter,
and heartily commend them to the guardian
care of that kind and merciful Being who is
the God of the widow and the Father of the
fatherless.
Robert T. Carithers was born in Oglethorpe
county. Ga., June 11th, 1823, and died in Jef
ferson, Jackson county, Ga., Monday, Sept.
13th, 1875, in the 53d year of his age. He
was an upright man, a worthy citizen, a good
neighbor, a kind and affectionate husband and
father, and died in the faith of the Gospel of
Christ, and in an insured hope of a blessed
immortality. He leaves a widow and daugh
ter to mourn his departure, two infant chil
dren having gone before him to the “better
country, even a heavenly.” Let us, who sur
vive him, give heed to the Divine admonition :
“Be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye
think not, the Son of Man cometh.”
