Several pieces of jewelry were found
on Tuesday last about ten or twelve miles
North of Jefferson, which the owner can get
by describing property and applying to W.
P. DeLaperriere.

Medical Notice.
Dr. J. O. Hunt, partner of Dr. John Ve
nable, is here to remain, and announces
himself ready for business. Office with Col.
J. A. B. Mahaffey. Dr. H. will give his card
to the public in a few days.
Lecture on Penmanship.
We are requested to give notice that Prof.
A. L. Barge will deliver a Lecture on Pen
manship, at Lbenezer, this (Saturday) even
ing, 25th inst., at 3| o’clock.
Mr. R. H. Kinnebrew,
V hom we reported as sick last week, is, we
are gratified to learn, improving very fast,
and, should he receive no “ back-set,” will
soon be out in his “ old haunts” again.
Cool.
The latter part of last and all of the present
week has been quite cool for the season.—
Fires, blankets and overcoats have been,
more or less, in demand.
Rain commenced falling Thursday after
noon with occasional showers till Friday
morning. About 12 M. the sun appeared,
with some little indication of “ fairing off.”
Prospect good, we think, for an early frost.
On the War Path.
Victoria and Celia—two colored amazons,
not unknown to fame—gave an exhibition of
their sparring powers on Thursday morning
last, to the edification and amusement of the
denizens on Sycamore street. The same old
story—“ true love” don’t run smooth, some
times. Judge Pittman makes his debut in
the investigation of this little “ domestic”
episode.
Now’s the Day, and Now’s the Hour I
Prof. Jordan requests us to say he will close
his engagement among the Jeffersonians about
the 2d of October. Therefore, come one—
come all, if you want to see yourself “just as
you are.”
Our Probationers.
When the Forest News was “started up,”
several of our friends subscribed for three
months, remarking as they did so, that if they
liked the paper they would continue their
subscriptions. To all such we shall continue
to forward the paper unless otherwise di
rected.
The Grand Lodge, I. 0. G. TANARUS.,
Meets in Gainesville next week. J. P. Wil
liamson, Sr., is the delegate from Stonewall
Lodge, Jefferson. We hear these convoca
tions highly spoken of—as being truly inter
esting—and we are glad to know our worthy
Lodge here is to be represented by so worthy
a member as “ brother” Williamson.
Sarepta Baptist Association.
This Association assembled with Cloud's
Creek church, Oglethorpe county, for the
transaction of the usual associational busi
ness, on Tuesday last. Rev. A. J. Kelley,
John S. Hunter, Esq., and Judge Wiley C.
Howard were the representatives from this
immediate vicinity, and have been absent
during the week attending to the duties of
the meeting.
The Town Election,
On Friday of last week, resulted in the elec
tion of Col. W. I. Pike, Mayor, and J. P. Wil
liamson, Sr., R. J. Hancock, G. J. N. Wilson
and F. M. Bailey, Aldermen. After the elec
tion, it was discovered that Mr. Bailey was
ineligible—he not having resided in town
twelve months, as required by law. Anew
election for one Alderman is, therefore, ne
cessary to fill the Board. R. J. Hancock,
Esq., was, at a meeting of the new Council,
elected Mayor pro tern.
County Court.
In the absence of an “interview” of Judge
M. M. Pittman, we learn—officially—that his
Honor has received his commission, been
sworn in and duly qualified to enter upon the
discharge of his duties, which, after the usual
preliminaries, we have no doubt he will pro
ceed to do at once.
P. S.—See advertisement handed in since
the above was put in type.
The Palace of Art
Continues to draw “ crowded houses” daily,
and Professor Jordan is kept busily employ
ed—a sure omen that he is fully appreciated
as an artist of the “ first water” in his line.
One of Jackson’s most popular and genial
citizens has, we learn, had several dozen pic
tures taken for distribution amongst his
friends—and still the supply is not equal to
the demand. While this shows the estima
tion in which our clever friend is held, it also
proves that Prof. Jordan's pictures go like
“ hot cakes.”
The African Methodists,
As was announced some short time since,
held their Quarterly Meeting for the Jeffer
son District, on Saturday and Sunday last.
Saturday, however, proved so inclement, there
were no public exercises, save, perhaps, the
meeting of the Quarterly Conference. The
Presiding Elder, Rev. George Washington,
was in attendance, and the colored “ brethren’’
occupied the Court House as a place of pub
lic worship on Sunday—morning, afternoon
and night. Meetings were also held op Mon
day and Tuesday nights at the same place,
and it is to be hoped good has been accom
plished during these services.
More Syrup and Better Syrup.
Mr. David Roberts sends to the Neavs of
fice a sample of syrup made by himself on the
Evaporator of Messrs. Thompson & Few,
whose headquarters are at the mill of E. M.
Thompson, Esq., three miles from Jefferson.
Though there are those who are disposed
to speak lightly and derisively of the recep
tion of “ small favors” like the above by a
newspaper man, yet the improvements being
made in the manufacture of this article of
home consumption is a matter that should
enlist the attention, at least, of every tiller of
the soil, and, we can safely add, many others,
because all are dependent on the first named.
The most excellent specimen of syrup now
before us, together with those sent us by Mr.
Boon and others heretofore, go far to show
that the ordinary cane now cultivated to a
small extent by some of our people, is sus
ceptible of being converted into an article
equal if not superior to the best syrup we
get from abroad. That this is so, we
think it would be only necessary to compare
some of the specimens sent to this office the
present season, with that made when the
cane was first introduced years ago. And
from this year’s experience in the growth of
the cane and the manufacture of syrup, we
confidently look for results in the future,
hitherto unthought of. The sample sent us
by Mr. Roberts is creditable, in the highest
degree, to all concerned ; is beautifully trans
parent, almost equal to strained honey ; and
in taste and flavor “ delightfully palatable.”

The Religious Services at the Methodist
Church,
Mentioned last week, were protracted up to
Thursday evening last, when the inclemency
of the weather prevented further progress.
The meetings, day and night, were quite t well
attended, considering the extremely busy
season at hand ; while the services and exer
cises generally, have been very interesting
indeed. On Sunday last, Rev. A. J. Kelly
preached an admirable sermon, which, to
gether with his well appointed and timely re
marks at the close of the morning’s service,
made a marked impression on the minds of
his hearers. That truly zealous laborer in
the Master’s vineyard, Rev. G. 11. Cartledge,
has been “ instant in season and out of sea
son” in his impressive, logical and convinc
ing endeavors to teach men the “ error of
their ways” and in pointing them to the
“Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of
the world.” Of the earnestness anu indefat
igable zeal that has characterized Rev. W.
A. Farris, the Pastor of the church, during
thin protracted meeting, the writer deems it un
necessary to say but little. “Thought is
weak and language lame,” and we should fail
even in doing this “humble servant” simple
justice ; we venture one remark, however—
it will be a long time before his labors are
forgotten, either by Ids own congregation or
the people at large.
Services resume with fair weather.
w Dr. J. D. Long,
Whose dangerous and serious illness lias
been noted in the two last issuesof the Ner.cs,
still remains very low; but his attendant
physicians are now more hopeful as to his
recover}’. *
I
Hall Superior Court
Has been in session during the present week,
but up to the hour of going to press we have
heard nothing of what has transpired. “Rice”
ueing a “ standard commodity” with the good
people of the “Queen city,” may not prove
so unpalatable as it seems to be in some of
the lower “ precincts.”
The Very Latest
From the rural districts, is some of the larg
est and nicely grown turnips of tiie season—
roots measuring near 1) inches round; tops
21 inches. The “patch” of Judge M. M.
Pittman claims this honor. “Jes’so!” when
a man starts up there's no telling how
high he'll go, and when he starts down no one
can tell how low he can fall.
Town Ordinances.
This week we complete the publication of
the Town Ordinances governing the town of
Jefferson. And with this, it is hoped, all
“ legal quibbling” on the subject will end.
And while on this subject, we beg leave to
remark that we are in receipt of a communi
cation from a highly respectable and authen
tic source, in which the writer says:—
“Please say to all concerned, that “the
Town Council of Jefferson has never decided
that they had no power to act;” hence you
have never published sucli a statement as an
item of news. Let the people of the county
be assured that the Council know what they
are doing; they have all the authority they
claim ; not a decision of their’s has ever yet
been set aside by a higher Court. The cor
poration is for the good of the county as well
as for the town. We presume that all good
citizens favor law and order, and the Council
will never trouble such men. If any one ob
jects to the rulings of Council, he can have
them reviewed by a higher Court. The Coun
cil is fully and legally established ; and these
reports about it’s not being “ legal,” or not
acting legally, or not having this power or
that, all tend to make the people dissatisfied.
All such questions, if raised at all, should go
to the Courts.”
BP’The publisher of the Clarion, Mr. Mor
ris, was converted, joined the church, and was
baptized during the recent revival at the Bap
tist church. —Cumming Clarion.
We’re glad to hear it; but can’t see the
necessity of making a newspaper paragraph
about it. It may be, however, that it is con
sidered a matter of such rare occurrence as
to demand a notice at the hands of the press.
“Giving the Devil His Dues.”
The Supreme Court have decided against
Nick Thompson, the negro who killed Capt.
James 11. Hunter, of Brooks county, some
time ago, and he will consequently be hanged.
For the Forest News.
Another Precinct Heard From.
Mr. Editor : —Everybody, except us, have
said something through your columns to the
numerous readers of the News, and we beg
a little indulgence, enough, at least, to give
ourselves a small puff. I believe puffs com
menced with the new way of cleaning potatoe
patches: you remember something about
that. The plan suggested was, when you set
out your slips, if they got grassy, bed up
more land and pull up the slips and re-set
them. A good idea, if a man lives in Africa.
The next was cotton blooms, then corn tas
sels, then silks, then open cotton, then Mc-
Culloch’s double growth corn, and the last of
all was your townsman, Mr. S., with his
trundle-bed tribe, manufacturing syrup.
Well, now for our puff. Myself and E. M.
Thompson commenced ginning at 20 minutes
after 10 o'clock, A. M., both fed the gin, and
at sun-set we had ginned and packed 3 bales
of cotton, averaging 400 lbs. to the bale.—
Packed, did I say ? We have a press
that runs by water, which would astonish the
natives of your burgh to peep at, only requir
ing one minute’s time to pack a bale of cotton.
Well, as for sorghum, farewell! Johnnie,
we beat them all! It would make a darkies
lip water to look in the barrel.
A little more towards Christmas.

Banks County Dots.
Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: —Thinking that
you would like to hear from Banks, we take
our pen in hand. The crop of cereals in this
section has been considerably under-estimat
ed ; it was first apprehended by the farmers
that one-half of a crop would do well, but up
on a closer inspection they found that they
were mistaken.
The school in Homer cannot be excelled.
Parents, or guardians having children in their
charge, should ascertain the cost of this grow
ing and wide-spreading institution before en
gaging elsewhere. Ilomer is a beautifully
situated little village, being 760 feet above
the level of the sea. The society here is par
excellent—nothing to divert the minds of
students; and thus it affords a glorious ma
triculation for scholars of North-east Georgia.
There are three churches in Ilomer—Meth
odist, Baptist Presbyterian, and also a
Court House. Preaching in these three church
es once a month by their most worth}’
pastors, and also preaching in the Court
House, by Judge Rice, on the first Mondays
in March and October.
The most prominent aspirants to that most
high and honorable position, the gubernatorial
chair, in these parts, arc Hardeman, Colquitt
and James. Should these three gentlemen
ever run for Governor, the vote of Banks
would be about equally divided among the
three men.
But now we come to a close by bragging
just a little—we have the champion draught
player, in the person of a school-boy, in
Homer.
Banks has sixty-seven old maids. What
does this mean ? Shall it go out to the world
that our young men are so timid as to allow
this ? We hope soon to see a change. And
to those immortal sixty-seven we can only
say, lie ye yet patient, for you know not at
what hour the “son of man” cometh, but have
your lamps trimmed and burning.
All Banks needs is a “tornado” (of green
backs) to straighten out things, and then she
is on the road to prosperity.
But, Mr. Editor, thinking, as we do, that
this is consuming too much of your valuable
space, we close by saying more anon.
Yours, truly, Sylvester.

the Blakely Nows: “Col. Thomas
Hardeman, when in our Agricultural Socie
ty last week, made everybody faircrazy, by an
nouncing that arrangements are being made
with the railroads to carry passengers the
round trip for two dollars from all parts of
the State—that the arrangements were com
pleted as to main lines, and lie supposed soon
would be as to the branch roads. To insrue a
very large attendance no more successful
step could be taken than this. The want of
means to get there, even on the one fare
schedule, will keep thousands at home who
would gb on the two dollar tickets. Just let
it be announced through the papers that pas
sengers from this section of country can go
and return from Fort Gaines or Arlington
for two dollars, and our people, old and young,
would be found scrambling around in search
of that two dollars more diligently than they
ever did after half a dollar to go to a circus.
We believe, from the increased travel it would
induce, it would pay the roads. The increase
from this section would certainly be not less
than five fold. Try it, gentlemen, it will be a
success.”
