Meagre.
W e confess to a rather poor paper this
week—especially as pertains to reading mat
ter on the “ inside.” But no apology, we
think, is needed, if our readers will bear in
mind that we have kept pretty well up in this
line since the establishment of the paper.—
The “ business season” is opening to us, and
our kind and indulgent patrons will certainly
grant us the privilege to “ make hay while
the sun shines.” Our “heavy” advertise
ments will be found interesting. Read them.
Judge Pittman’s Court
Was in session on Thursday afternoon, in the
investigation of a charge of “ larceny from
the person” against a young man named Zeb
Holmes, who, we believe is well known to
many of the citizens of Jefferson and vicini
ty. Ihe proof not being sufficient, however,
Judge Pittman pronounced a judgment of
“not guilty.”
BP*On our outside is published the “cham
pion snake story,” about whose truth we had
some little misgivings. But we find in a let
ter to the Ellijay Courier a report sustaining
the assertion that rattlesnakes do sometimes
make aggressive war on hogs, if they do not
devour them. The Courier's letter from Cal
houn says : “ Mr. W. H. Ilimer, while on
his way to Court, enconntered three rattle
snakes which had attacked a large hog. One
of the snakes had the hog by the ear. one by
the leg, and the other had swallowed the
hog's tail up to the body, and here his snake
ship came to a “ dead halt,” as the hog turn
ed and killed him. The other two fled to the
bushes.”

IriP’The editor of the Forest News (Jackson
county) visits Athens every week. We can
not imagine what he goes there so often for
unless it is to get his exchanges. —Georqiu
Citizen.
Bless your soul, Bro. Whitman, we’re sur
prised at yon ! Can’t you see through things
no better than that ? Why, ever since we
gave publicity to the fact that our finances
had dwindled down to a 50 ct. Gainesville
shinplaster, our patrons have been pouring
in the greenbacks at such a rate that we’re
obliged to go to the nearest bank tb make our
weekly deposits. This accounts for our be
ing in Athens every week, and at the same
time shows the great advantage of advertis
ing, too!
Young Men in the Country.
It is the custom, with a great many young
men, after the “ crop season” is partially' over
in the country, to seek employment in towns
and cities at the opening of the usual “ trade
season” in the Fall. To all such the Colum
bus Enquirer gives the following timely ad
vice :
“ Our advice to them is to stay on farms
and not seek employment in the city. A
clerk's life is not the rose-colored one you
imagine, and green ones have a worse time
than any farmer boy in Georgia. You will
receive small pay. and the labor required is
not near so pleasant as that on the planta
tion. You will have no time for hunting or
fishing. Even the very best of the young
men in our stores get no large amount—
barely enough for a support and the luxuries
realty necessary to dwellers in cities. Anoth
er you think. When you leave comfortable
or interior homes in the country, and through
family influence gain a position in a store,
you deprive some poor youth, reared in the
city, who knows nothing of farm life, and
would not be given food for his labor, on one,
of a situation. Thus you do not better your
self and do a positive injury to your fellow
man and your State. Stay on the farm.—
The most independent, honored men in the
land are the class of independent farmers.—
They are the princes of the world, for they
have no favors to ask of any one, and their
attention is universally sought.”

Judge Howard, and several other of
our prominent business men are doing all
they can to induce the .young gentlemen and
ladies to go into “partnership housekeeping.”
The Judge has just had anew batch of
“ Licenses” printed, while the merchants are
laying in new supplies of household and
kitchen furniture,” with the usual append
ages of calico and the like. Gentlemen, you
are surrounded by the “ fairest opportunities”
you’ll ever have; better make use of ’em !
tdPT© S. B. Weir, Esq., the News office,
or at least its entire “ working force,” is in
debted for a rich and rare treat in the wav of
some of the largest and best peaches—for the
season—we have ever seen. Mr. W. is a
successful fruit grower, and says he has no
doubt his peach crop, this year, will yield him
more “ clear money” than his cotton crop.—
And yet, “people will talk” about going
West!
LjTA* it is our aim, as far as possible, to
make the News subserve the “ best interests”
of the people in all respects, we now ask the
question, suggestively, why is it that Jeffer
son is so barren of religious services ? It is
very true, there is an appointment for every
Sabbath in the mouth; but we allude more
particularly to services during the interim.
Why not have at least a weekly prayer-meet
ing, in some way or other; either at one of
the churches or at some private residence ?
Who will put the ball to moving ?
CjPThe attention of visitors to Athens is
invited to the advertisement of Col. Huggins,
to be found in its place. Read what the Col.
has to say, and call and see him in person
when you go to Athens. That city has a
great many good business-men whose names
we hope to see in the Forest News some
day. Col. Janies 11. Huggins is one of that
class; and aided, as he is, by as clever a
corps of assistants as can be found anywhere,
his customers, in dealing with him, we feel
well assured, never fail to realize that their
interests are in the hands of gentlemen —in
,thc full acceptation of that term.
Type-Writing Machine.
While in the city of Athens, last Monday
morning, we were shown by Mr. L. Scbeve
nell, (of the Jewelry Ann of L. Schevenell &
C 0.,) one of the celebrated Type-Writing
Machines, of which, we believe, mention was
made in these columns some months ago.
This machine is truly a wonderful as well as
useful curiosity. We were “running against
time” and our observation was very hasty
and limited—consequently no attempt at
describing the machine will be made at pres
ent. Any one desiring, can see a specimen
of its work at the News office. The writing
or printing, is done very exactly and neatly,
and if some newspaper writers we have
known in days past, had been the fortunate
possessors of one of these machines, there is
no doubt that many a poor “jour” who years
ago “ cussed” himself to perdition over un
readable manuscripts, would have lived to be
an honor to his craft and a bright and shin
ing light in his day and generation. By the
way, we are pleased to note the success of
the enterprising firm above alluded to—in
the way of premiums at the Fair last week.
T he members of this house are “ live men” and
are reaping just what they “ plant for.”
Timely Suggestion.
The following paragraph clipped from an
exchange, is well worth the consideration of
every man and woman in the country ; and it
is inserted with the hope that the suggestion
will not go unheeded.
Pork (sa3 r s the Montgomery Advertiser) will
probably be scarce and high in the West,
from all accounts. Notwithstanding the large
corn crop of the Northwest, which is the pork
producing country, hogs are reported scarce.
The most powerful ring, next to the whisky
ring, is the pork ring of the West, and they
are taking advantage of the reported scarcity
of hogs to purchase all the present and future
pork, so as to solidly close the market until
they get their own profits. It will be a for
tunate time for the Southern planter when he
makes himself independent of the pork ring
and raises his own meat. It is easily done
when once it is determined on by any farmer
or planter, but far easier when a whole neigh
borhood determines on it and goes to work
in earnest. It is a good time now to make
the commencement, while the Southern fields
are filled with corn, peas and potatoes. Let
eacli farmer make up his mind to procure
every hog he can and fatten it, to be killed
the first cold spell.
Prohibition Does Prohibit.
This time it is in Maryland. The local
option counties are reaping its benefits,
although the law has been in operation but
about five months. Talbott county has
discharged its last jail inmate, and the jailor
has gone back to work on his farm. Caroli
na county has not a prisoner in its jail. The
bill of expenses due the jailor in Worcester
county for the five months previous to the
' aking effect of the law was SBOO, and for the
five months after it was but $50,. The good
effect of the law was felt by the ent ire com
munity, and it is expected that its friends
will carry the entire State at the next elec
tion.

A Beautiful Woman.
In a neighboring village there lives a
young lady who, two years ago, was an
object of pity to all who knew her. From a
little imprudence at an improper time, she
became irregular, and was the victim of sup
pression in all its horrors. Such were the
ravages of the disease, she was miserable
and unfit for social After trying
many remedies, and paying much money to
physicians, a friend sent her a couple of bot
tles of Regulator. She improved after
taking the first, and before taking the second
she became sound and well. Now, two
years after taking the first bottles, she is
fully restored to her former health, and is a
most beautiful woman. Proper respect for
the family, prevents our giving the name.
Excellent Teas.
The Original American Tea Company,
of New York, 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 and 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.
The company wish reliable agents in every town
to get up clubs amongst families for their teas,
and offer great inducements. Send for our circu
lar. Address always, Robt. Wells. Prcs’t 43
