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.” BF’Atlanta-made Mens’ Shoes, $1.75, at F. M. Bailey’s. 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.” BP"Atlanta-made Womens’ Shoes, $1.50, at F. M. Baile3 r ’s. 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. been designated a3 days to be observed for prayer by the Sunday schools of the State for the conversion of all the Sunday school children of the world.

Important Discovery. —Galileo in vented the telescope ; Columbus discovered a now world ; Harvey, the circulation of the blood, and to Professor Morse is due the credit of teaching the lightning how to talk, but it was reserved to Dr. J. Bradfield to penetrate the mystic depths of science, and drag therefrom the wonder of our century. The victory has been won, and woman is free. The sale of Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator is unprecedented in the history of popular remedies, and thousands of certifi cates are coming in from grateful women, throughout the Union, attesting its powers and applauding its untold benefits to ..their sex. 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.

"So we has,” continued the inky deacon, “but we’s jus’ sent him in his resignation.” The head of a New York mercantile house was bragging rather largely of the amount of business done by his “firm.” “You may judge of its extent,” said he “when I tell you that the quills of our correspondence cost two thousand dollars a year!” “Pooh!” said the clerk of another, who was sitting by, “what is that to our correspondence, when I save four thousand dollars in ink from mere ly omitting to dot the i’s ?” Hero Hiluertisemeuts.
