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. Please Remember That no communication can appear in the columns of the News unless accompanied by the name of the author. This rule must be adhered to. 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.” IdFThe best WagOllYard in Athens, at Kilgore’s stand. 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. Bob. Thompson s Mills , Sept. 21, 1875. For the Forest News. 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. Banks Cos., Ga., Sept. 17 th, ’75. Kerosene Oil, 25 cents per gallon, t Kil gore’s-stand, Athens. 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.” Excellent Tis. The Original. American Tea Company, of New orkj of which Robt. Wells is President, was established in 1840, and since that time has been steadily gaining in favor, not only in the city of New York, but all over the country, until now teas reach every section. The leading press of the city and of hundreds of places in the country have endorsed it as perfectly reliable, and parties wish ing excellent teas at low prices, can with perfect confidence send to this company for them. Their teas are put up in one pound packages, with the kind ami price printed on the wrappers; also, in boxes containing 5, 10, 20 and 30 pounds. They range in price from 40 cents to $1,30 per pound. Our merchants can have samples mailed to their address by enclosing 10 cents for each sample.
