Sale Day.
The concourse in town on last sale day
(Tuesday) was a “notch” or two ahead of any
thing of the kind since the advent of The For
est N ews in Jefferson. The day proved a most
beautiful one, and at an early hour the noble
yeomanry of Jackson came pouring in from
the four corners and the centre or the old
“ garden spot.” Sheriff H unter, with his staff,
was on hand, “ armed and equpped as the
law directs,” and at about eleven o’clock or a
little thereafter, the usual “ proclamation”
was made, and the “ work went bravely on.”
A good lot of property had been advertised
for sale, and as before remarked, a large
crowd was in attendance, and the bidding, in
many instances, quite spirited. Below we
give a list of property sold, the price paid,
and the name of purchaser. Some of the
larger sales, we believe, were on a few months’
time;
Land belonging to the estate of William
Deaton, deceased, 110 acres, bought by S. H.
Cronic at $260, and 68 acres bought by Matta
Moore at $325.
Land belonging to the estate of John Imes,
deceased, 130 acres, sold subject to a S3OO
lien, bought by Thos. Trout at $5.00.
Land belonging to the estate of Wm. Ap
pleby, deceased, lot No. 1, 353 acres, bought
by J. C. Whitehead at $1,240 ; No. 2, 113|
acres, bought by J. M. Potts at $635 ; No. 3,
135 acres, bought by W. J. Colquitt at ssll.
The place known as the J. A. Davis place
rented to P. J. Roberts at $445.
The land belonging to the estate of James
Appleby, deceased, 400 acres, bought by J.
F. Harrison at $2,006.
Five shares of Georgia Railroad stock, be
longing to the estate of James Appleby, de
ceased, bought by T. R. Holder at s7l per
share ; 3 shares to same man at $72 per share ;
5 shares to C. T. Whitehead at s7l per share ;
5 shares to same man at $72 per share.
Messrs. Pendergrass & Hancock
Have been receiving and opening their Fall
stock during the present week. A cursory
glance over their house on Thursday,, enables
us to say that the stock already on hand, and
which is to be added to till every department
is complete, will make it quite possible for
them to give such bargains as will ren
der it unnecessary for customers to go
away from home to lay in their Fall and Win
ter supplies of staple or other necessary goods.
And we have been assured that the advant
ages they have had in the purchase of their
present stock will enable them to offer extra
ordinary inducements to their friends and the
public generally. The intelligent reader is
too well posted in what is needed to meet the
wants of a section and comqiunity like ours,
to render any enumeration by us necessary ;
we leave that for our enterprising friends to
do in their advertisement, which will appear
in the next issue of the Forest News. We
simply remark, that from our own observa
tion, we believe their stock will not be found
lacking in the least particular. It was not
our intention to particularize, but when we
remember that their most excellent and varied
stock of ready-made clothing is presided over
by our young friend Frank Pendergrass,
we feel called upon to say that if urbanity
and pleasant dealing is any desideratum in
effecting a trade, why, then, all that is neces
sary, is to tell Frank what you want, and
that’s enough. But to cut a long story short,
this store, its model proprietors and its genial
clerks, are all too well known to need eulogy
at our hands. To satisfy yourself of the real
ity of what has been said above, “go and
see!”
N. 11.—Messrs. P. & H. are agents for the
sale of the celebrated “Brumby .Shoe,” man
ufactured at Athens.
Medical Notice.
Dr. J. O. Hunt, partner of I)r. John Ve
nable, is here to remain, and announces
himself ready for business. Office with Col.
J. A. Ik Mahaffey. Dr. 11. will give his card
to the public in a few day’s.
Persons in want of a good and faithful
hand in “ well work” of any kind—cither
digging new wells or repairing old ones, are
specially recommended to Mr. Daniel Irvin,
who has proven himself well worthy the con
fidence of the public. Residence eight miles
west of Jefferson. Refer to A. A- DeLapper
riere, Esq.
HPWe were shown, a few days since, at
the residence of Mr. Win. Winburn, a most
exquisite piece of mechanism, in the shape of
a beautiful and unique piefttre frame. It is
composed of 180 pieces; these pieces are
mortised and fitted together in such a man
ner that each one holds its fellow, and thus
the whole are linked together, forming, when
the ends meet, a neat round or oval frame.
It was the work of Mr. I). W. Winburn, of
Gainesville, son of our esteemed friend above
named.
IdF’** It never rains but that it pours,” is a
somewhat antiquated expression, of which
we were forcibly reminded a few days ago,
when fast on the heels of each, we received
three more samples of sorghum syrup. Mr.
J. 11. Adams’ sample was made in the “ old
fashioned boiler,” and we must say, was the
best we ever saw or tasted, made under the
old process, and equal to most of what we
have seen made under the new. Mr. L. J.
Johnson placed two samples on our table,
made under the new “ Evaporating” process.
One of the best judges at our boarding-house
(Prof. B. II.) testifies to this last as being the
best “of the season,” so far. The fact is, we
have received so many most excellent speci
mens during the past few weeks that it is
next to impossible to discriminate. Our
friends certainly deserve the thanks of their
fellow-citizens in thus demonstrating the
perfection to which this branch of home in
dustry can be brought; and the “ end” we
believe, “ is not yet.”
F. M. Bailey,
SOUTH SIDE OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE.
Being a next door neighbor to the above
named gentleman, we have had ample op
portunity of stepping in and taking an ob
servation of his well-filled store-room. Mr.
Bailey has just returned from market, where,
with an eye single to the wants of the people
of J efferson and J ackson county, as well as
the public at large, he has laid in an assort
ment of goods suitable to the Fall and Win
ter trade, which will compare in prices and
quality with those of any place outside of
“trade centres.” Not having his entire stock
straightened out yet, Mr. Bailey defers, until
next week, an “ authentic proclamation,” but
in the meantime his goods are on “ free ex
hibition”—he charges nothing for looking,
and everybody and their children are invited
to come in and see for themselves. Amongst
other specialties, Mr. B. informs us he will
open in a day or two an invoice of Atlanta
made shoes, which he desires to introduce,
and to which he calls the attention of buyers
and wearers.
Mr. Bailey has already won the confidence
of this community and of the public as a
business man, and it would be as the “sound
ing brass” and “tinkling cymbal” for the
writer to attempt to add aught to what is al
ready so well known. Therefore, call upon
him, and we feel assured you will not go away
empty-handed.
Read the Advertisements.
In the “general make up” of a paper the
advertisements are frequently changed from
one place to another; hence to be certain
you see each advertisement, look well over
the paper from time to time. We failed last
week to call special attention to the adver
tisement for “ Contracts” to work on the jail
and numerous bridges in the county. Look
for this, and in looking for it you will prob
ably find something else of importance adver
tised. Nothing is lost by reading all the ad
vertisements.
Professor Jordan,
With his “ Art Palace,” has established him
self for a short time at Mr. J.* L. Johnson’s,
nine miles below Jefferson, on the “ river
road” leading to Athens. We hope to have
the Professor with us again ere long, and
take pleasure in commending him to the most
kind considerations of the community in
which he has located himself. And while
we would give him, cheerfully, the benefit of
any “ good word” we could employ, we con
tent ourself with remarking that the many
truly artistic specimens of his work left be
hind, speak far more potently than anything
we could say in his behalf.
A ‘‘Fruit”-ful Curiosity.
Mr. Wyatt Bailey, living some few miles
North of Jefferson, presented us the other
lay, with three little twigs from an apple tree,
one having a bunch of ten apples on it, anoth
er eight, and the third one five. There had
been ten apples each on two of the bunches,
but, accidentally, two had been broken off one,
leaving but eight on it. Twenty-five apples on
three little twigs is somewhat prolific—or, at
least, is so thought around about these “ dig
gings.”
Look Out I Ye Tax-Payers I
Attention is called to the advertisement of
Mr. Williamson, Tax Collector of Jackson
county. It will lie perceived that the Collec
tor is doing all he can to accommodate the
tax-payers, by making known where he can
be found. At the same time, we are author
ized to say he has no discretion in the mat
ter ; the taxes, both State and County, must
be paid in by the 25th of November, as the
books are then to be closed, without fail.
Good Corn.
Dr. N. W. Carithers left at the News of
fice, a few days ago, two ears of corn weigh
ing respectively 2| and 2 lbs. 5 oz., shuck on.
The ears (shucked) are 12 inches long, and
have, on a rough count, about 870 grains on
each. Grain large and fully developed. We
are not sure, but think the Dr. told us he took
no particular pains in gathering, but simply
picked them out of a large lot of the “ same
sort.”
More Incendiarism.
Mr. nillsman Jackson, living about 10 miles
Southwest of Jefferson, in this county, lost
his Gin and Gin-honse, Saw and Grist Mill
all being connected, or under the same roof
—on Sunday evening last, by fire. The de
stroying element, we learn, had made such
headway before discovery, that very little of
the contents of the building or the machinery
attached was saved. Supposed to be the
work of an incendiary, as no fire had been
used about the premises for some time previ
ous.
Brought Ini
Rev. Alfred Pool, a colored preacher of the
Northern Methodist persuasion, who was jail
ed some months ago on a charge of “ Beech
erism,” and was afterwards bailed out by
some of liis colored friends, having forgotten to
put in an appearance at Judge Rice’s “pro
tracted meeting” a few weeks since, was
brought to town the other day by some of his
securities and again “ put up” in the hotel
“de Hunter .” The Judge, at bis next “ vis
itation” to this “ parish,” will, it is confident
ly believed, “ raise the salary” of this Rev.
imitator of 11. W. B.’s “ true inwardness.”
The Southern Cultivator,
For October, liee before us, filled with its
“ weighty cargo” of good advice to the farmer,
planter, horticulturist, poultryman and good
housewife. We stated some time ago that
we would send the ’Cultivotor and Forest
News to one address for $3.10, and we still
stick to it. If you have doubts, try us !
