Dry Pond.
Passing in close proximity to Dry Pond
not long since, the writer was forcibly struck
with the neat and pleasant appearance of the
church edifice of the M. E. Church, South, at
that point. A place better adapted for the
purpose, could not, it seems to ns, have been
found ; and everything gives evidence that
the influence shed abroad through the instru
mentality of this Sanctuary of the Most
High is felt and acknowledged in all the “re
gions round about.” In the vicinity of the
church the community are settled so closely
together that, at a distance, one thinks he is
approaching a little village. And then, the
good people, we are informed, are most unex
ceptionable and exemplary as neighbors and
friends ; are industrious, peaceable and hard
working ; and are, furthermore, as we have
abundant reason to know, a reading people—
because the Forest News has a good circu
lation amongst them. We are under obliga
tions for an invitation to a better acquaint
ance with the kind people of this neighbor
hood, and shall, most certainly, endeavor to
avail ourself of the opportunity at as early a
day as practicable.
The Young Folks’ Gem.
Number one, vol. 4, of this little monthly
is before us. It is iutended principally for
children, as its title at once indicates. In
this day time, every inducement, consis
tent with good morals, should be offered the
young to seek knowledge and information.
To this end, we can, in our humble sphere,
we believe, offer nothing better than the lit
tle paper (or something similar) which now
lies on our table. No objectionable feature ;
a beautiful picture to each subscriber, and all
at the low price of 30 cts. per annum. Let
some of our little friends make up a club and
get a handsome premium. Address, John
A. Clarke, Publisher, Wadsworth, Medina
county, Ohio.

A Word from Tax Collector Williamson.
We have been requested byJ.L. William
son, Esq., to say to those who have as yet
failed to pay their taxes that he will at once
proceed to make out executions against all
lelinqnents ; these executions will not, how
ever, be placed in the hands of the officers
until the entire defaulting list has been goue
over. Therefore, all those paying before the
executions are placed in the officers hands
will save cost. Remember this.
house of Louden Hayden, (col.) on
the plantation of the widow Morgan, some
four miles northeast of Jefferson, was de
stroyed by fire on the night of the 22d inst.,
together with everything he had, except the
clothes worn by himself and family—who
were absent from home at the time. From
all the surrouuding circumstances, the hand
of an incendiary was the prime mover in this
sad catastrophe.
PF’We omitted, last week, to state who
the parties were so quickly 7 united in the
bonds of matrimony in the office of the Ordi
nary. Asa number of persons have made
inquiry who they were, we now gratify the
i curiosity of the curious by stating that the
happy groom was Mr. Joseph Ansley, for
! merly of Towns county, and the blushing
bride was Miss Marietta Waddell, of Jackson
county.
LiPlt is said that an honest tax-payer the
other day, having paid out the last cent in
his pocket-book in liquidation of his obliga
tion to “ the powers that be,” stretched wide
his depleted purse and exclaimed, “I want
to find my country's altar, that I may also
place this as a sacrifice upon it.” A rare ex
hibition of honest patriotism this, and yet
what a sad commentary on the hardness of
the times and the burdensomeness of taxa
t on.
IIP The services in the Baptist church on
Sun lay last were quite interesting indeed—
both day and night: Rev. A. J. Kelley, on
each occasion, making more than an ordina
ry impression on the minds of his hearers.
At night, at the close of Mr. Kelley’s ser
mon, Rev. G. H. Cartledge (Presbyterian,)
delivered one of those pointed, plain and for
cible exhortations so characteristic of the
man ; elucidating at once his fervency and
zeal in the service of his Master, and his de
sire to do good to aud for all his fellow-men.
EjPJ. R. Duke, (col.) of Clarkesboro' dist.,
brought to this office a few days ago, a sam
ple of his turnip crop which speaks well for
all the surroundings. First, they show that
this worthy and industrious freedmau has a
level head in planting and cultivating this
crop—so valuable as an article of food for
man and beast. Second, the turnips shown
us demonstrate what can be done on Jackson
county land, without any manure, either
home-made or bought—the samples measur
ing 16£ inches round. And lastlyY the grow
er shows his good sense in letting other folks
(especially his colored brethren) see what they
I can do if they will only try.
How Long! Oh, How Long I
With exchanges of no later dates than
Tuesday last—and the greater portion even
father back than that—it is hard to get up
much in the way of late news that would be
interesting—hence the frequent barrenness
of our paper in this respect. And now
friends, fellow-citizens, don't wait one for an
other, but set the ball in motion, and let’s
have two or three new mail routes and better
mail facilities generally, and then we can
safely promise the public a newspaf>rihat is

Christmas is Coming I
And though times are hard and money
scarce, yet, the little ones, the lads and lasses,
bachelors and old maids, mammas and pa
pas, and grandmother and grandfather will all,
no doubt, “strain a point,” something
“for Christmas.” From our advertising col
umns it will be seen that friend Cohen —the
irrepressible Cohen, of Gainesville—is ready,
waiting and anxious to supply the wants of
the masses in this particular ; and that too—
mark what he says —Lower than can be
done by any live man in all this section of
country. Mr. Coiien has recently been in
our town and left several samples of his
goods at Mrs. Randolph’s hotel. Call and
examine them, and order your goods before
the stock is all sold !

The Gainesville Eagle.
Our sanctum sanctorum was honored by
the presence therein, on Thursday morning
last, of Mr. Claud Estes, the courteous and
affable Gen’l Agent of the Gainesville Eagle.
Mr. Estes is “ peregrenating round” in the
interest of the Eagle , and, we are gratified to
learn, is coming up to his expectations in
collecting “back rations.” Success to the
Eagle and its urbane and gentlemanly agent
—the son of as “noble a sire” as the up
country affords.
Writing Class at Deadwyler’s Mill.
A. Louis Barge, Esq., we are pleased to
learn, has a promising writing class of some
twenty-five scholars, at the above mentioned
place. And in connection, we take pleasure
in announcing that Col. Barge will lecture on
the subject of Penmanship, at Concord church,
Hall co., on the night of the 29th—next
Monday.
David Dickson, of Hancock County, on Plant
ing Cotton.
You ask me what it costs me to make cot
ton. At one time I could have toll you its
cost per pound ; but what it costs to make it
now depends on so many contingencies it
cannot be estimated beforehand. I have six
ty or seventy tenants, and it costs no two the
same to make cotton. It depends on the
price of labor and its efficiency; direction of
the sun and rain, time and quantity, worms,
caterpillars, storms, frosts, and land as well
as many other things. Crops vary from one
bale to eight bales per hand. There is one
thing certain, when cotton is below 16 cents
the tenant and landlord, in four cases out of
five, lose money\ For example, two hands
on an average in Georgia, without manure,
will make about 3 bales each, making 6 bales ;
planting 12 acres each in cotton, making 24
acres ; 6 acres each in corn, making 12 acres ;
that is, per each mule, 36 acres. You may
say this is low average, but it is high enough
as Georgia now is.
Six bales cotton, 2,400 lbs., at 16 cents... $384 00
Six bushels corn per acre, on 12 acres, at
$1 per bushel 72 00
Fodder 7 20
463 20
Less rent of land 115 80
8347 40
One mule and feed 8175 00
Tools, machinery and harness 20 00
Hire of two hands 240 00
Use of house, board and w00d.... 120 00
8555 00
Loss 8207 60
You may sav my estimate is too low.—
Then add to the product per cent., mak
ing $463 20, still a loss of s9l 80. Add on
50 per cent., making four and one-half bales
per hand and nine busnels of corn, and
amounting to $521 10. still a loss of $33 90.
Who will say a hand will make four and a
half bales of cotton without manure, and fif
ty-four bushels of corn, which is in the last
estimate ? I can see very plainly 7 what causes
so much loss and hard times. The planter
furnishes everything—houses, gardens, patch
es, and the be9t wood on his place., free of
charge. The true plan is to pay for all y 7 ou
get, and get pay for all you let go. The
planter furnishes house, wood, fruit, garden
and patches, for three persons, to get poor
labor out of one—out of proper time, poor in
quality 7 , etc.
The late cold term was very impartial.
It did not entirely slight any part of the
country. At Little Rock the ice was a
quarter of an inch thick on Wednesday morn
ing ; at Memphis the novel sight was
witnessed of roses and flowers in full bloom
jn the yards, and thick ice in the gutters and
the ground frozen; at Fort Laramie the
mercury fell to fourteen degrees below zero.

According to the Charlotte Observer the
breach between the receivers of the Air-Line
railroad, Messrs. Fisher and Buford, was not

division of the road at theTugalo river, which
i9 the Georgia and South Carolina line. Ac
cordingly, engines on this end of the road
run onty to Central, 133 miles from here
where the trains are met by transfer engines
which take them and earn 7 them on to At
lanta. Turn tables have been built on both
sides of the river. The road is being run as
two entirely separate divisions, just, for in
stance, as the Air-Line and Richmond and
Danville roads are being conducted. Buford
keeps his accounts at Charlotte on this
end. and Fisher his Atlanta on the other.
Conductors run all the length of the road,
however, and Colonel Peck remains master
of transportation of the whole line.”

The factory employs thirty-three operatives,

Manufacturers of Fertilizers.
Baltimore, November 19.—A meeting of
manufacturers of fertilizers adopted the fol
lowing resolution: That fertilizers should
be sold for cash or satisfactorily endorsed
paper, and, that barter for cotton and other
products, should be abandoned. A commit
tee was appointed to report to the meeting
on the Ist Tuesday in May.
The printing of the war records is a work

The census of South Carolina for this

of 217,941 over the census of 1870. Of the
voting population, 74,188 are whites, and
110,153 negroes. We are afraid that the
complexion of things in South Carolina is
not improving.

Bradfield's Female Regulator.— We have
often read iu 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 thflm by advertising,
by 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 Bradfield’s Female Regulator, put
up by L. H. 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 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
bug.—LaGrange Reporter.
Two Miles before Breakfast .
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 in vain all the nostrums ; her husband car
ried her to. all the famous mineral springs, went
with her 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 ioy of the
household—is able to walk two miles before
breakfast. Novl3
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
