GTMarried, by Rev. A. J. Kelly, on the 10th instant, at the residence of Mr. Joseph Brnwn, in Jefferson, Mr. James F. Smith, of Washington county, and Mrs. Maggie Mertz. Z. W.

Thank you ; call again ! only way the Griffin boys can have fun is to carry their terriers to church.” We see a great many boys—some big ones, too—practice the same thing in other places; but do not think the congregations ever see much “fun” in it though. nr w c are not desirous of a controversy itt regard to the matter; Professor Rains told us last week what he thought of the earthquake—still we are not quite satisfied. Wonder jf those big wagon trains of produce that have been going from Jackson to Ath ens, didn't have something to do with it ? Who knows ? GTTwo lilliputian Africans, bearing re spectively, the names of Sherman Chapman and John Moore, were up before Mayor Pike, * few days ago, for throwing rocks. To com pensate for indulging their evil propensities in this direction, they are now “ reveling in luxury” on the street brigade, under supervi *ion of Marshal Hunter. IdFTt was announced in the News of two weegs ago, that Mr. N. N. Pendergrass would t make 40 Imrrels of corn and 5 bags of cotton the horse. Since then, we have been relia informed that he will go far ahead of that. Good luck to you, young friend ! The Wm;/ farmer is—as he should be—the pride *nd honor of his country in this day and time. Once More! w e the announcement that nothing Cau a PPear in these columns that is not ac ®°®panied by the full name of the writer.

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, Prof. Wm. 11. Simpkins, Horner, Ga. IdPTlie case of Nic Thompson, ool„ who killed Capt. J. H. Hunter, in Brooks Cos., is again to come before the Supreme Court. Alleged new testimony being the plea filed this time. Justice will overtake him after awhile, it is to be hoped, 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. I. 0. G. T. at Homer. On the 6th instant, at the Evening Star Lodge, No. 379, I. O. G. TANARUS., Homer, Ga., the Lodge Deputy, Dr. J. Wylie Quillian, install ed the following named officers : L. N. Turk, W. C. TA NARUS.; Miss Margie Ste phens, AY. V. TA NARUS.; W. W. Moore, W. C.; Miss Callie Dodd, AY. R. S.; J. J. Turk, W.

S. “ Errata.” 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. [communicated.] 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. Send out and get some “turnip salad.” F. S. S. 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 torney, which was adopted. Aldermen Hancock and Bailey Jwere ap pointed supervisors of tax returns. Marshal Hunter made his report of the ex pense in opening Hill street, which was re 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, WANTED !

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. Bon. Thompson's Mills, Nov. sth, 1875. FF'The best Wagon Yard in Athens, at Kilgore's stand. Don’t rcgfartl it as a Uuteli-penny. 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- Grange Reporter. 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 tor, she has been fully restored to her former health and happiness, and is now the joy of the household—is able to walk two miles before breakfast. Novl3 Excellent Teas. The Original American Tea Company, of Xew 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 railgc m 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.
