Especial Attention
Is called to the advertisement of F. S. Smith,
Esq., to be found in the proper place. Mr.
Smith has settled here to make “one of us”
is a hard-working man, and not a drone,
consuming everything and making nothing ;
but proposes to help build up the waste
places. Citizens, neighbors, friends ! encour
age such men, and don’t let them be “ starved

which to make a living. We have the best
land and country in the world ; let us bless
it by right doing and right living.
e were in Athens the other day, and
from the number of “ banners on the outward
walls” we judged there was another “ Kero
sene war” in vogue in that city. “ Kerosene
25 cts per ga11.,” was floating from almost
every corner. IV e intended, as soon as we
got back to Jefferson, to draw on our banker,
hitch up a team, send down and lay in a sup
ply from whieh to fill our “ midnight lamp ;”
but after a two days’ trial we found our ex
chequer consisted of a solitary 50 ct. bill on
the city of Gainesville. So we concluded to
wait the next “fluctuation,” when we'll be on
hand, sure!
Hall Superior Court.
Judge Rice, with his usual corps of assis
tants, has been running the above institution
since last Monday week, Sundays excepted,
and yet the people of Hall, we very much
fear, are “ not happy.” While, as a matter
of coarse, a great deal has been done, yet,
from the Southron of the 28th, (the latest in
formation we have at writing,) we glean noth
ing of importance except in regard to two
cases. The first was against our old friend
M. P. Caldwell, N. P. and J. P., who was
charged with using profane and opprobious
words towards a gentleman in his Court.—
The ’Squire plead guilty, and was fined in
addition to paying costs. “ Swear not at all”
is the injunction of the Higher Law, so }'ou
must be careful, ’Squire. You can “ swear”
as many people as you please, but must not
indulge too freely yourself. The other case
was that of Hamilton and others against J.
J. Findley, which had been in Court some
seven or eight years. The “ fight” over this
case was stubborn—several “ big guns” be
ing engaged on both .sides. ThCjjury found

county, Pa., has in operation
(38 factories, producing 6,310,000 pounds of
cheese; Erie County 22 factories, producing
2,610.000 pounds of cheese ; Mercer and Ve
nango counties 11 factories, producing 647.-
790 pounds of cheese; aggregating in the
four northwest counties 101 factories, pro
ducing 9,557,700 pounds of cheese. Of these
101 factories only five are manufacturing milk
that lias been in the least skimmed. Two
are regular creameries.
Good people of Jackson, do you hear that ?
You are—at least some, we know—paying 25
or 30 cents a pound for some of this same
cheese, and that, too, while you have thou
sands of acres of the best cattle range in the
United States ! In every village, town and
city in Georgia, there is, to-day, a demand
for butter at highl}* remunerating prices,
while you seem content to make cotton at low
figures and buy “Yankee mud,” flavored with
“bird droppings,” at an exorbitant price to
put under it. Wake up !!
Death of Col. Thompson Allan.
This gentleman, well known and highly re
spected in all Northeast Georgia, and who
had filled various positions of trust and honor
during his life, died at his home in Banks
county, on the 17th ult., in the 55th year of
his age. . .
The Good Templars at Gainesville.
Ere we go to press, we hope to be able to
give some account—meagre though it may be
—of the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Good
Templars at Gainesville. These meetings
have heretofore been very interesting, we
hear. And for the sake of the “ up-country”
we hope this one will not fall below any of
its predecessors in point of interest and at
tractiveness. We wait further developments.
Medical Notice.
Dr. J. O. Hunt, partner of Dr. John Ve
nable, is here to remain, and announces
himself read} r for business. Office with Col.
J. A. B. Mahaffey. Dr. H. will give his card
to the public in a few dat’s.
PF" Tfie local advantages of a manufac
turing establishment are well illustrated,
says the Cave Spring Enterprise, by the
benefits which Trion factory have conferred
on Chattooga and Walker counties. The
former reaped the largest share of these
advantages, for “the factory furnished a
market lor all her cotton, and consumed even
more than could be raised in the county.
The prices paid were twenty-five cents in the
hundred more than Rome prices for fine
cotton, and then the factory furnished a mar
ket for all the wheat, much of the corn and
bacon, and all the butter, chickens, eggs and
vegetables offered for sale in miles around.”
No wonder the people of Chattooga and
Walker took all the stock in one day that
was offered them towards rebuilding the
burned factory. Chattooga is, or rather will
be as soon the new Trion is in operation, the
model of what every county in Georgia
should be.
Make a note of this, ye good citizens who
have mill sites and water powers. There -is
a nut in it for you to “ crack.”
The Greensboro' Herald gives an account
of a very remarkable case of somnambulism
which occurred near that place a few nights
ago. A negro boy, about fourteen years old,
who had assisted in taking a bee tree and
hiving the bees, iu a piece of woods some
mile or more from home, got up in his sleep
during the night, and going to where the hive
had been left, shouldered it and brought it to
the house, without waking, having crossed
several deep gullies and three ten-rail fences.
The Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture
says the farmers lose annually more than
$2,000,000 by the injudicious purchase and
use of fertilizers.
For the Forest News.
A Voice From Clarksboro’ District!
Mr. Editor :—As “ puffing” seems to be
fashionable in some localities of our county,
of individuals and various improvements, I
purpose, by your permission, to say one word
in favor of our county paper, which has been
recently established in Jefferson, edited and
managed by yoorself. And I will remark,
that The Forest News is a paper the people
of Jackson county should be proud of. The,
typographical work exhibits neatness and
good taste ; the selections of reading matter
are good and instructive, and well calculated
to elevate the mind and to promote virtue
and morality ; the editorials are short and to
the point—containing new and original ideas :
and best of ail, its columns are not filled with
advertisements of the one thousand and one
different kinds of patent medicines of the
day, which are humbugging the people out of
their money. In a word, I will say, TnE Fo
rest News is the best local paper in the
State ! Citizens of Jackson county, will you
not support your county paper ? It cannot
live without your patronage; then let every
citizen subscribe!
Now, Mr. Editor, I must give you the news
of our District. I speak of the section up
and down Curry’s creek. We are all peacea
ble and quiet—busy picking cotton; will
make about two-thirds of a crop. Our corn
crop is good; we think we’ll be able next
year to feed a visitor’s horse without running
to our wives for the dairy keys, and to stop
the cracks in our cribs ; (please telegraph to
Gen. Colquitt); pea crop good ; and the po
tato crop (for tee know how to clean our
patches ) is good. And now, for our improve
ments :
We have a Cotton-Gin, running by steam,
that gins from 6 to 8 bales per day. We
have a Mill and Evaporator which makes a
fine article of syrup out of the sorghum cane.
Tell friend “ Bob” he is no where in his gin
ning nor in making syrup, and had better be
careful how he “puffs” himself; for we have
seen men get into difficulties by so doing—
havn't you ? If our friend “ Bob” wishes to
test his syrup by the side of that made by
others , let him meet them at the Fair in Ath
ens, (which is to come off in a few days,) with
his keg; then we will see who has the longest
pole. Don’t test it any more, the way he has ;
it won’t give any flavor to his syrup ! Ugly,
ugly! Yours, trulj',
Curry’ 8 Creek.
13^With profound reverence we take off
our “ beaver” to the author of the above for
the complimentary manner in which he is
pleased to speak of the News and its man
ager. And we here beg leave to say to out
esteemed friend, that if the home folks will
only do their duty in the matter, our paper
never will be filled up with the matter of which
he complains in such reprehensible terms.—
The way to keep all obnoxious advertise
ments out of the “county paper” is for the
people of the county to use it as the medium
through which to make themselves and their
various industries and vocations known to
the public at large. We do not believe that
any truly upright publisher “hankers” after,
such patronage as our correspondent finds so
much fault with ; but the worst feature of the
ease is, that finding it impossible to make
buckle and tongue” meet on the limited
local patronage he receives, the publisher of
ten resorts to any stratagem to fill up his ad
vertising columns. But thanks to the assur
ance of good citizens of Jackson with whom
we have become acquainted, and the many
flattering expressions of encouragement re
ceived otherwise for our success, we appre
hend nothing of that kind will ever befall the
F OREST N ews.
Drunkenness incapacitates a man for
business and lowers his social standing.
I low many men are constantly thrown out of
business on account of whisk}'. If you would
hold your situation, keep out of grog shops.
If you would prosper ilon.t stop at the dram
shop as you go to your meals. If you would
be respected don’t visit at night the billiard
room and spend money you should pay your
honest debts with. A fool and his money
soon parteth, and the devil never fails to get
his own. How many voting men in this place
are trying to fit themselves for usefulness ?
