Almost a Fire
Occurred last Saturday, at the building of
Squire Niblack, our worthy and efficient Su
perior Court Clerk. The hands at work on
the building went to dinner, leaving a fire
burning in close proximity to some shavings,
lumber, &c., which, by' some means, soon took
fire ; a disastrous conflagration was, however,
pre\ ented b\ r the timely arrival of some of
the hands, who extinguished the flames.
And while on this subject, we beg to re
mark that there ought to be at least two good
cisterns on the Public Square. A good many
of our citizens, we are aware, are disposed to
l°°k upon and speak of the colored fire com
pany here as being rather a “farcical institu
tion ;” but with a supply of water at hand,
in an emergency, the “ old masheen” in the
hands of such “ boys' as were out on Satur
day afternoon last, would be found of incal
culable service. The fact that nothing seri
ous, in the shape of a fire, has ever occurred
in Jefferson, is no certainty that such a thing
will never happen. “An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.”
Quite a Sensation
M as caused in the upper part of this county
one day last week—so we are informed—by
the finding in the woods of a newly made
grave—all neatly arranged with head and
foot marks, etc. The alarm was spread, and
soon some of the most prominent citizens of
the community were “armed and equipped”
with spades, &e., and on their way to the
spot, all intent on “ seeing the thing out,”
and, if possible, of bringing to condign pun
ishment the guilty parties to this “hidden
mystery.” Arrived at the grave, work was
at once commenced, and in a short time the
working party unearthed—not the victim of
some midnight slaughter—but a neatly cut
chunk of wood, some three or four feet in
length, which someone, bent on having a lit
tle fun, had cut and buried in that secluded
spot. If any gentleman is “spoiling for a
fight,” it is confidently believed he can be ac
commodated by going into that neighborhood
and mentioning “new grave” to anywone of
the party thus badly sold out.
Deaths.
Again are we called upon to chronicle the
sad fact of the death of several citizens of*
our county within a short time. Mrs. Martha
King, daughter of Gideon Shockley, dec'd,
and sister of our worthy countyman, C. M.
Shockley, Esq., died on Monday' or Tuesday
last. Mrs. K. was the widow of Abram King,
dec’d, and lived some six or eight miles west
of Jefferson.
Avery sad dispensation has been visited
on the family of Mr. Elijah Veal, who lives in
Randolph’s District, Jackson county. Four
of Mr. Veal's children died but recently, in
a very short time of each other, of pneumonia.
Three of them, two males and one female,
had, but a comparatively little while previous,
been married—all in the same family—that
of Mr. Puckett, of the same neighborhood, we
suppose.
Novel, and Rather Hard to Understand.
Passing along the road the other day, we
were much astonished to come upon one of
our best personal friends earnestly' engaged
in digging a ditch in the middle of the road.
As he threw the dirt both right and left with
an uncommon vim, we stopped and wondered
if he was crazy. Away he worked, as if for
dear life—so busily engaged that he did not
discover us. Determined to see the result,
we continued to watch him until he dug a
great broad ditch of considerable length, then
dropping his shovel he went to a huge pine
log that was lydng near by, and rolled it into
the ditch, after which lie disappeared in the
adjoining woods, but soon returned, driving
a y r oke of oxen, to which was hitched a great
“ carry-log,” to this he swung the log and
drove to the end of the ditch. Then, with
might and main, he again set-to and extend
ed it further —driving to the end as before.
We then discovered that his saw-log was so
large that he could not drag it without dig
ging a ditch for it to run in. The last we
saw' of him, the dirt was fly ing in all directions
—don’t know whether or not lie's got to the
saw-mill yet —'spect not, though. Fact, dog
on if it ain’t.
Quick Work--Matrimonial Buzz.
On Wednesday evening last, Judge Howard
was slighlv disturbed, while engaged in the
routine of his office-work, by T the sudden ap
pearance in his cozy office of a matronly look
ing woman, accompanied by a y’onng girl in
her teens and a young man with an incipient
moustache. The urbane Judge invited the
parties to seats, which the y'oung people hesi
tatingly accepted, but the older lady advanc
ed, and casting a significant glance upon the
now seated couple, demarftled “ license .” —
The Judge “ took in the situation” at once,
and. alter making a few' hasty enquiries, the
answers to which were satisfactory —the moth
er of the girl appearing to be the principal
aider and abettor—he drew forth a blank
license, had the ’Squire called, while he filled
out and signed up the needful document.—
Judge Pendergrass then put in an appear
ance, and by this time several others in and
about the Court House had collected to see
the ceremony performed, which was forthwith
accomplished in formal and solemn style.
The work was done before the ink had dried
on the license, the fee paid by the old lady,
and the happy twain passed out, and were
seen moving ofT up the street hand in hand,
following in the wake of their leader. There
were some present who seem slow to step olf
on the sea matrimonial, and it may possibly
result in inspiring them with self-confidence
enough to launch their barques and trust to
luck, as did these two. Rumor hath it that
ere long others in the regions round about
will take their departure from a life of single
wretchedness, and we opine that the Judge
would say, “so mote it be.
Artistical Handiwork of two Jackson La
dies.
In the show-case of Messrs. Pendergrass &
Hancock, may be seen a beautiful specimen
of what can be done by' patience and indus
try combined with artistic taste and talent.
We allude to a beautiful artificial rose and a
scarf made by Misses S. J. and Molly Nabors.
What is remarkable in regard to these pieces
of handiwork is the fact that originally, the
material of which they are composed was ex
tremely simple and plain ; but through the
artistic manipulations of the ladies, in dye
ing, etc., they appear as though made of the
finest fabric and material used for such pur
poses. These ladies are neices of “Uncle
Mike AA .’s, who, it seems, takes pleasure in
exhibiting their work and encouraging them
in the cultivation of their talent and skill in
this direction.
“Just as we Expected I”
The friends of W. S. McCarty, Esq., our
young and talented townsman, who was ad
mitted to the bar at the recent session of
Oconee Superior Court, will be pleased to
know that he passed a most creditable ex
amination before the legal committee appoint
ed by r his Honor Judge Rice, for the purpose.
This fact we learn through a letter to a friend,
and it is with pride and satisfaction we place
it before the public.
“ The Live Store.”
We notice a representative from the above
establishment—in the person of Mr. Charlie
O'Farrell —is “perambulating around” look
ing after the interests of his energetic em
ployers, Messrs. Hunter & Beusse, Deupree
Corner, Athens.
House-Breaking.
The Medical office of Dr. 11. J. Long, on the
north side of the public square, was broken
into on Wednesday night last, the papers and
books scattered, and one account book and a
portion of alcohol carried off. This is a
misterious case of burglary'. What induce
ment the thieves had for doing what they did
“passeth all understanding.”
LdP 3 The Gainesville Eagle compares the
negro of ten y'ears ago with the negro of to
day. The jails and chain gangs show that
he has been a loser in morals. Statistics
show that six to eight negro children die
now to one in the day's of slavery'. Then
the colored people listened to the gospel in
its simplicity and purity ; now, their worship
in most places consists in forms, noise and
signs dictated by the most absurd supersti
tions, and these superstitions are becoming
more prevalent and alarming in character
year by y'ear. Ten years ago he had plenty
to eat and to wear ; to-day he is often hungry
and scantily clothed. December will find
scarcely one family' in ten with provision
and clothing, and it will be out of the power
of the farmer to lend the usual assistance.
What is to become of the negro in the future
God only' knows. The same voice that
proclaimed his freedom sounded the death
knell to the glory' and happiness of his race.
That he is degenerating, and that rapidly, is
quite visible to every one who reads' his
history* during the last ten y’ears.”
‘The publisher has to pay for labor and
paper, and every notice of any kind, in the
nature of an advertisement, he ought to have

beg five dollars of any other individual, as to
expect it gratuitously of a newspaper.’

Mr. Editor : —We are traveling smooth!} 7 ,
gathering our crops, preparing to sow wheat
and making preparations for another year.
Well, we invited you to our corn-shucking,
but yon wasn’t “dar;” the next time we in
vite you, you will be “dar” certain, “you
bet,”’
l said we were traveling smoothly ; I take
it back, for some of our faces are as long as
a fence-rail. The fact is, we are “ gone up,”
for cotton is so low we will not be able to
make “ buckle and tongue meet,”
Our potato crop is good. You see I told
you how to keep the grass out of them. Very
little fodder has been saved, where it was
only pulled from the ear to the ground — quick
way to finish pulling.
Now, Mr. Editor, I feel very sore since
“ Bob” has “ curried” me over—oh ! me. I
understood he was dead, and buried beneath
that heap of ground sorghum cane, near
Thompson’s Mill’s, as there were a great many
flies and yellow-jackets upon the cane, but I
presume they were after ins vinegar.
“ Bob” says he don’t brag on sorghum—
trill} 7 glad to hear it. But he is still bragging
on ginning. Just listen at him: “I have
ginned 169 bales, and still rolling,” and de
fies “Curry’s Creek” to beat him, and all the
rest of “ mankind.” Mr. Holliday has ginned
222 bales. I leave the readers of the Forest
News to say who has ginned the most. What
kind of arithmetic do you study, “ Bob” ?
Mr. Editor, I am truly sorry for “Bob,” for
T understand he is troubled a great deal with
what is called the ‘ night-mare.” Boor fel
low, if he will only cease eating so many
“ground-peas” and roasted “taturs” before
retiring at night, I think he will find relief.
If I never again should meet thee.
May thy breast never heave a sigh,
And may Heaven’s blessings greet thee,
Is my prayer, “Bob,” good-bye.
Curry’s Creek.
B. S. —Tell my friend T , Mr. Editor,
if he should have any more cotton to move,
to harness my friend “Bob,” and walk before
•him with a bundle of fodder, and my word for
it, he will make the time in 2 :40. If he should
not have the fodder, a basket of rate eggs will
answer. C. C.
Now, “boys,” you’ve had your fun, take
an “ old man’s” advice and stop your foolish
ness ; and whenever an itching fit comes on
to write something for the papers go to work
and tell the farmers how to make home-made
guano; how to get out of debt and quit
“ homesteading,” and advise everybody to
I take the Forest News and pay for it in ad
vance—and then our children and your chil
drens' children will rise up and call vow their
benefactors. —Ld. Neavo.

The Homestead Laws—Probabilities of Lit

The homestead laws of Georgia gives heads
of families SI,OOO personalty and the fur
thea sum of $2,000 real estate in gold. An
endeavor was made at the last session to re
duce this amount, but it failed. The Legis
lature granted such estates to be encumbered
and sold with the consent of the parties and
when sanctioned by the Ordinary. The Su
preme Court has decided this cannot be done.
A number of these homesteads have been dis
posed of, and some enquiry’ has been made
regarding them at the Ordinary’s office. The
lawyers generally' are of the opinion no for
tunes are to be made in this business. Very'
few are able to pay counsel very heavy fees,
and if you go halves and recover land, it hardly’
pays the taxes. Such cases do not appear
to be sought after with the greatest avidity'.

BIIADFIELI>*S FEMAI.K R ECJ l • IiATOR.—We iiave
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,
)>v 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 Bradlicld’s Female Regulator, put
up by 1,. 11. Bradfield, of Atlanta, Ga., at $1.50
per bottle. Such is its curative virtues, that it
has gained wide-spread popularity all over the
country where it has been made known, and it is
being introduced everywhere. We are informed
that immense quantities of this medicine arc be
ing sold in all sections of the South and South
west, especially in the city of New Orleans and iu
Texas.
This much we say in jnstieo to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would

7Vo Miles before Breakfast .
In 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 in vain all tile nostrums ; her husband car
