The outlook~iß76.
In these columns we noted, a week or two
since, the fact that the Rev. Mr. Coyle, a most
worthy Baptist minister was “ prospecting”
with a view to making Jefferson his home.
Since that time we have learned, with gratifi
cation, that several other gentlemen had ex
pressed themselves as desirous of becoming
citizens of the little town in the “ forest.”
A\ e truly hope there is no mistake in regard
to the matter, and trust we may not be con
sidered officious if we take the liberty to throw
out a hint or two to those who have property
to rent or sell in Jefferson and its vicinity.
If we take in coasideration the low price of
the great staple commodity of the country—
or at least this section of it—and also take in
consideration the terrible pecuniary ordeal
through which all classes have passed and are
passing at this time, we cannot but believe
that all unprejudiced and candid minds will
agree that rents are far too high. This re
mark is intended in a general way—though
we are now speaking to the people of Jeffer
son and vicinity. This is not the time to ask
“ war prices” for property, either in renting
or selling. Therefore, we would most humbly
and respectfully suggest that there is such a
thing as .“killing the goose that lays the
golden egg,” by holding out for high rents
and “ big prices” for property, and thereby
driving away, forever, good people who would
otherwise settle amongst us and make most
useful and exemplary citizens.
North Georgia Conference.
This ecclesiastical body meets in Griffin on
the Ist day of December. The Rev. AY. A.
Farris, who has “ministered in holy things”
to the various little “ flocks” composing the
Jefferson Circuit, is bringing his “ work” to
a close for the present Conference year—next
Sunday being his “ farewell” in Jefferson.—
The peculiar circumstances of our situation
has prevented us the enjoyment of that
amount of “ church privileges” in Jefferson
so much to be desired. But whenever op
portunity did offer, we have been interested,
edified and instructed by the “efforts” of Mr.
Farris in the pulpit; and in whatsoever field
his lot may be cast hereafter, many a heart
will be filled with emotions of pleasure and
satisfaction when, in the future, memory car
ries them back to the labors of our Rev. friend
on the Jefferson Circuit in 1875.
Martin Institute.
With peculiar pride and satisfaction we
chronicle the fact that the prospects of this
prominent institution for the next year, are
quite cheering and flattering indeed. And in
our humble capacity as a public in former, we
believe t here is no exaggeration in the asser
tion that parents and guardians can glVe their
children and wards such an education at this
Institute as will prepare them for any pursuit
in life—and that, too, at a far less outlay
and at cheaper rates than is offered at an}'
similar institution of learning in the State.—
The advantages offered, the rates of tuition,
&c., will, no doubt, be given in extenso, in the
future ; our only reason for mentioning the
matter now is, that those who are casting
about for educational privileges may not be
entirely ignorant as to the great inducements
in store for them at the Martin Institute.
A Good Corn Crop.
Reliable parties have informed us that Mr.
Tobe Duke's corn crop this }’ear will reach
between 750 and 1.000 bushels. And while
citing this case, we beg to remark that it is
not one of isolation. We hear of numerous
and multifarious most excellent crops of corn,
with cotton and other et cetcras in propor
tion ; all going to show that, although in the
“ backwoods” to a certain extent, Jackson
county, in the way of good land, ranks “A,
No. 1,” with any of her sisters in this section,
and we might add, safely, in the State of
Georgia.
After the above was put in type, we learn
ed that a tenant of Dr. Geo. Orr’s, Mr. Milton
Bailey, made 77 barrels of corn on seven
acres of ground—being an average of 55
bushels or over to the acre, besides pump
kins, peas, etc., in abundance.
Quarterly Meeting at Dry Pond.
Last Saturday and Sunday was the time—
in course —for the 4th quarterly meeting on
the Jefferson Circuit—M. E. Church, South.
A pretty good congregation was present on
Saturday, we learn, but from some cause un
known to the writer, the P. E. failed to ar
rive at the time appointed. Rain commenc
ed falling at an early hour on Sunday morn
ing and continued all day; this prevented
auy further exercise—and thus, we presume,
ended the last quarterly meeting in 1875 on
the Jefferson Circuit.
Rev. A. G. Worley,
Presiding Elder of the Elberton District;
preached quite an interesting and instructive
sermon in the Methodist church on Wednes
day night last. The congregation was thin
—owing to the muddy streets, and the further
fact that it was not generally known there
was to be preaching. Mr. M orley has an ap
pointment for Sunday night next, when, we
hope, he will be honored by a “ turn out”
commensurate with his ability.
Banks County Academy.
The exercises of the Banks County Acad
emy, for tlie year 1876, will be resumed about
the last of January. Parents and others who
have to send tlieir children from home to ed
ucate them, will find no place equal to Homer
for cheap boarding and reliable educational
facilities. For further particulars, address,

Sunday School.
The admirers of the moral and religious
training of youth and children will, we be
lieve, join with us in wishing God-speed to
the Sunday School cause everywhere—but
particularly in Jefferson. Pleasant it is to
record anew impetus—seemingly—to the
school in this place ; and it is to be sincerely
hoped that heads of families of all denomina
tions will unite and co-operate in giving such
encouragement to the cause as the great in
terests at stake demands. Childrens’ minds
must be employed—on the Sabbath as well
as other days—and if they are not learning
something good, they will be sure to learn
something exactly to the contrary. Then,
parents, urge your children to go—and not
only so, but go with them yourselves.
The East India Yam.
To Judge Espy, of this county, we are in
debted for some fine specimens of the above
new variety of the sweet potato; the pota
toes, three in number, weighed over 12 lbs.—
the weight of the largest being some 6£. In
color, they are, as the Judge informed ns, of
a beautiful red, when first taken from the
ground; they fade, however, and become
lighter after being up for a little while. For
table use we found them qnite good—hardly
so sweet though, as the common Spanish or
Yam. Their chief commendation to favor,
lies, we suppose, in the great quantity that
can be raised on a small area of ground. The
specimens brought us were grown on the
farm of W. L. Espy, Esq., of Jackson.

In the Sheriff sale in last issue, of the land
of C. C. Thompson by virtue of tax fi fa, the
words “Tax Receiver” should have been “Tax
Collector.” And in the citation of J. D.
Johnson for letters of dismission, the name,
“G. \Y. McElroy” should have been “G. AA r .
McElhannon.” “ Thus it has ever been from
childhood’s hour”—“ accidents will happen in
the best regulated families”—therefore, the
“great famil}'” of printers are not exempt.
Another Prolific Curiosity.
AY. S. Thompson, Esq., exhibited in the
News office, yesterday morning, a curiosity
in the shape of a cluster of corn, 17 ears or
nubbins all grown in one and the same shuck ;
the central ear the largest—with 16 smaller
ones attached to and growing out from the
middle one.

Editor Forest News : —l am always pleased
with the News and the many sensible articles
it contains ; take a half dozen good papers,
but always read the Forest New* first. The
article in the News of week before last, in
reference to the care and management of cot
ton gins, ought to be preserved by every cot
ton-ginner and fanner in the South, and 1
hope I may be excused for suggesting to all
cotton raisers the importance of keeping their
seed cotton free from rocks, nails, scraps of
iron, hickoi'y nuts, buttons, strings, etc., etc.,
as they not only seriously injure gins, but
very greatly increase the danger of fire.
Most deeply do I sympathize with “ Jake
Lookout” in his troubles “around town.”—
That was a hard lick at the “ frying size," but
tell him to hit “'em” again.
That little advertisement of mine in the
News keeps me out of “ town,” and perhaps
out of scrapes. I scarcely get to see my
chickens on the roost.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Jefferson, G a., Nov. 11th, 1875.
Council met at 7 o’clock. Present: Mayor
Pike, Councilmen Williamson, Wilson, Han
cock and Bailey.
The Committee on Public Works was grant
ed further time to report on lamps.
The Finance Committee recommended that
fifty dollars be paid in full of the account
rendered by J. A. B. Mahaffey, Town At

Aldermen Hancock and Bailey Jwere ap
pointed supervisors of tax returns.
Marshal Hunter made his report of the ex

ferred to Finance Committee.
The minutes were then read and adopted,
and Council adjourned to next Thursdaj’
night. T. 11. Niblack, Clerk.
RPTrom the Augusta Chronicle we learn
that a few days since an interesting operation
was performed in the amphitheatre at the
Medical College, before the class, by the Pro
fessor of Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy.
An enormous flbro cellular tumor, twenty
five inches in length, twenty-eight inches in
circumference aronnd the largest part, and
weighing eighteen pounds, was taken from a
negro man named John Thomas, aged thirty
five years. He has carried the tumor from
birth, but up to last June its circumference
was small. It has always been the same
length, however. Last June it commenced
to grow and rapidly attained its present
proportions. Attached to the left breast, it
hung down below the knee and had to be
carried in a bag. The burden became intol
erable and the negro determined to have it
taken off. The patient was all right after
the operation, and was evidently delighted
to be rid of his unpleasant companion. His
body is literally covered with small tumors
size of a shot to that of a pigeon
egg. His photograph was taken before the
operation was performed,

Address L. Sciievenell & Cos.,
oc3o 3t Gen'l Agent*, Athens, Ga.
[communicated.]
Mr. Editor :—The Flint-llill Farm is in
the State of Clarkesboro’, 4 miles from Jef
ferson, on the road leading to Athens, and as
my home is in that country* I have nothing
to say against the bnrg, btlt beg indulgence,
Mr, Editor, enough at least to curry “Curry’s
Creek” just a leetle.
AA'e never intended our sorghum storj r to
be much no way, and if report be true, we
would not be surprised if somebody does not
have vinegar to sell after awhile. To tell the
truth, old Aunt Beckey Thompson made more
sorghum and better sop than any of us.—
“ Curry’s Creek” advised us not to test any
more the way we had. Suppose “Curry's
Creek” had reference to the time when we
mixed our sorghum with whiskey. I will say
to the gentleman that we have quit the old
fashion way, and have not indulged in the
mixture since the first Saturday in last Feb
ruary, but are traveling on a higher, a nobler
and a better road, and find the way delight
ful, smooth, clear of stumps and wells.
Well, now for “ Curry’s Creek’s” gin. Just
a little, gentlemen, on that subject, if you
please. We don’t brag on sorghum, but when
you speak of ginning cotton, we will brag;
and not only brag, but prove we have a bet
ter gin than anybody, since Ilill. Jackson got
burnt out. I know F. M. Holliday, Esq., has
a steam engine, ten-horse power, and can
manage a gin as well as anybody, and is one
of the nicest men in G eorgia. But stop and
listen, when I tell you that Mr. Holliday has
one 50 saw gin and one 40 saw gin, and has
many advantages we don’t have. Our gin is
a AYinship, 60 saws, and gins seven bales of
cotton per day, no mistake about it. \Ye
have ginned 169 bales, and still rolling; if
“ Curry’s Creek” can beat that, he can beat
us ; and as for clean cotton seed, Homer R.
Howard says the cleanest seed he ever saw
was at our gin—his own cotton—and you
know Ilomer is a fine judge of good old 11.,
with a little honey mixed with it. Bon.
P. S.—The last grandest sensation was E.
M. T. and F. M. 11. and J. M. P. working in
harness. You did get the cotton—ain’t that
so, Frank? A\ r e learn that E. M. T. works
fine in the lead, and J. M. P. pulled fiiiety,
but Frank made the best driver. Spike team.

Bradfteld's Female Regulator.— We have
often read in the newspapers of the grand success
of medical compounds put up at the North and
elsewhere. Many of those medicines have had
their day. and we hear no more of them. Their
proprietors have made fortunes, not so much from
the curative powers and virtues of their mixtures,
as from the notoriety given them by advertising,
hy which people were made to believe all the good
that, was said of them. A preparation is now be
fore the public which is becoming very popular,
and is known as Brad field's Female Regulator, put
up by L. 11. Bradficld, of Atlanta, Ga., at $1.50
f)cr bottle. Such is its curative virtues, that it
ms gained wide-spread popularity all over the
country where it has been made known, and it is
being introduced everywhere. AVc are informed
that immense quantities of this medicine .are be
ing sold in all sections of the South and South
west, especially in the city of New Orleans and in
Texas.
This much we say in justice to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would
not engage in the manufacture and sale of a hum-

Tti'o Miles before Breukfast.
Tn a neighboring city in Georgia, there is a mar
ried woman, who, after her third confinement, had
ulceration, with all its repulsive symptoms. She
tried ia vain all the nostrums ; her husband car
ried her to all the famous mineral springs, went
with h£r to*New York. Philadelphia, and other
places, to consult eminent obstetricians, to no pur
pose. After the use of the fifth bottle of Regula

health and happiness, and is now the joy of the
