Those interested should heed what the Dr. says. i?AVe hear that quite a revival is going on among the y’onng people of Atlanta ; and also, we learn that great interest is being manifested on the same subject in Athens. Glad to know that it’s so. Like our own lit tle city, there is great room for improvement in both places named. 15FRev. A. G. Worlry, P- E., held Quar terly meeting for the Mulberry Circuit last Saturday and Sunday', at Bethlehem church. Mr. W. also preached an interesting sermon to a large congregation at the Methodist church in Jefferson, on Sunday night. This doses his labors in this section, for the pre sent year, at least. l"F The sure omen that “ Christmas is coming”—a drove of turkeys—passed thro’ town the other day'. The owner said he did not want to sell one without the whole ; as though a man would want to eat a drove of turkeys at one dinner. Such a thing might be done in Watkinsville—we can’t quite come it up here, yet. 1 r Judge Pittman say’s some of his folks, digging sweet potatoes a few day’s s >nce, dug up a large bunch of red yams with a white one in the middle—all attached to 1,10 sa,ne vine. AVe thought this a strange C!r eiunstance when related to us; and sure eu °ugh, as a sequel, there was a “big freeze” ° n clncsday night with plenty of ice Thurs day morning. U Messrs. Stanley’ & Pinson have made Valuable addition to the “ working force” ‘ uie h • house” in the person of Mr. A. 11. Ro * K, a young gentleman of very’ pleasant a ? r ceable manners—and withal, quite in the bargain. AVe draw no invi io,|> comparisons though ; afl our young IDetl are ?°nd looking. At least this is the made by noting the direction in lil the young ladies “ cast their eyes.” 'Hiring) devil says lie don't exactly ' e ' wh .v it is that all the parties come j ' <m nday nights, lie thinks it's a “put I * m Uie printer boys —who frequently l%k W ° on FrWa y evenings.

Hunter has put another ; l)(y at 10r in l” s cap” by clearing out and add- Hst V‘ eW to our already respectable fact • !li^hwa y® in the corporate limits.

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 his pay for. lie has got to get his living out of his advertiseing columns, and any society or individual can with just as much propriety beg five dollars of any other individual, as to expect it gratuitously of a newspaper.’ [communicated.] 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. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS PARAGRAPHS. A Michigan man recently sold his wife for SSO, and threw in a cow as lagniappe. The loss of cotton this year, for want of picking, is estimated by an exchange at five million dollars in gold. That is what politi cal canvassing has cost, and the negro loses his share. The exact distance of the different railway mail routes is to be ascertained, and hereafter the mails will be sent whenever practicable over the shortest routes.

A white man named Charles Avena was tried in the Criminal Court at Marshall, Tex as, the other day, for the murder of his own child, and was sentenced to thirty-two y’ears imprisonment in the penitentiary’, Maryland.—The complete returns of the election for Governor foot up as follows: Carroll. Democrat, 83,194 ; Harris, Reform er 70,111. The vote is about 15,000 larger than that of 1873, when Woolford, Dem., had 19,933 majority for Comptroller, running against a Radical. The Tuskegee News announces the deatli of Rev. 11. E. Taliaferro, a well known Bap tist preacher, formerly connected with the South-Western Baptist. He was a most ex cellent and useful man, whose death (though he had reached a good old age) will be much regretted by' all who knew him. He died of pneumonia, at Loudon Tennessee, on the 2d instant. The Texas legislature has fixed the com pensation of public school teachers in that state at ten cents per day for each pupil in actual attendance. This plan would doubt less lead to an increasnd attendance. The teacher would be pecuniarily interested both in the opening attendance and the subsequent usefulness of his school. Knoxville, Term., November 12.—A dis tinct shock of earthquake was felt at two o’clock this morning, causing buildings to sway. There was a rumbling like an explo sion coming from the west and rolling grad ually east. The shock was the heaviest ever felt here, lasting ten seconds. New York, November 12.—Small-pox pre vails to an alarming extent in the Sixteenth ward of Brooklyn, and vaccination is in ac tive progress, though much opposition there to is manifested by the inhabitants of the infected region, who are mostly Germans. St. Louis, Nov. 13.—Judge Krokel, of the United States district court of Missouri, to-day sentenced Col. John A.

New York, November 13.—The trunk lines have agreed to advance freight rates to the west on Monday on a basis of fifty' per cent, above those of the past few months. Hard Times on the Border. Brownesville, Texas, Nov. 15. —The federal grand jury in their rttyort say that from Brownesville to the Pecos river, for a distance of six hundred miles in length by one hundred miles wide, to the Nueces river, all American rancheros have been ordered to leave the>r houses by' Mexican raiders on pairi of death, and that a hundred thousand head of stolen cattle have been driven to Mexico annually by Mexican marauders. Numbers of federal officials have been assassinated, postoffices burned, custom houses robbed, mail carriers and inspectors of customs killed while in the discharge of their duties, and perpetrators of these crimes have gone unpunished, and general insecurity of life and property prevails on the borders. The jury found eighty indictments, and urge immediate action on the part of the state and General Grant to punish the crime, and protect the inhabitants against Mexican banditti. The Homestead Laws—Probabilities of Lit igation. 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'. — Col. Enquirer. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Jefferson. Ga., Nov. 18th. 1875. Council met at 7 o’clock, P. M. Present, his Honor, Mayor Pike; Aldeimen Williamson. Wilson, Hancock and Bailey.

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 not engage in the manufacture and sale of a hum bug.—La Grange Ktjp&rter. 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.

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.
