( Don't know that it's any of our “funeral” —but if the sash and windows of the Court House were looked after a little, it does seem there would be an “economical point” gained. BHTe regret to note that Mrs. Jackson, wife of’Squire Ephraim Jackson, some four miles north of Jefferson, is quite sick, with little or no hope of permanent recovery. BFWe regret to hear of the continued ill ness of Capt. 11. 11. Carlton, of the Athens Georgian. But hope when another mail reach es us to learn of an improvement in his con dition. ItPMr. Wilson—known as “ Uncle Billy AYilson” —died suddenly last week, at his residence, U miles north-east of Hurricane Shoals. He was quite old, and had been in feeble health for some time. UtTOur particular friend, F. J. Christy, nud the amiable partner of his joys and sor rows, Airs. Ilattic A. Christy, of Athens, have our deepest sympathy in the loss of their in fant daughter, five days old, on Thursday night of last week. I V Any of onr friends visiting Athens, and who are in search of Cook stoves, tin-ware, or anything in that line, will find a varied and well selected assortment at the house of J. C. AA ilkins & Cos., north side Broad street, op posite Col. Huggins’. Fr J. E. Randolph, we observe, is putting a “Sunday-go-to-mecting” dress around some of his town property. Right. Rail fences and “propped up” posts in the heart of town, are not very inviting to the eyes of a stranger. i Athenian friend, I’. W. McDermecl, hsq., is putting up a store-house a short dis tance this side of the “ Ilolsey Hill,” a place of note on the road leading from Jefferson to Athens, and some 3| miles from the latter place. I iPNext Tuesday will, no doubt, be a “gala day” in Jefferson. There is quite an amount of property advertised to be sold—a great deal in the columns of the Forest News, w hile we notice a “ right smart sprinklin'” in the Court-house “ Wall Bulletin.'' idF’Mrs. Barbara Roberts, aged 21 or 22 years, a most worthy lady, died at the resi dence of her father, J. W. Hardy, Sr., Esq., on Monday night last. She was born and reared in Jackson county, and was highly es teemed by all who knew her.

Pendergrass & Han-1 cock have provided for all emergencies of this kind in bringing into market a most excel lent article called the “Silver Gloss Starch,” said to stand unrivalled for the purposes in- \ tended. And further, and lastly, they have an in voice of the celebrated “American Wash! Blue,” which has been pronounced oneoftlie most superior articles extant in the use to which it is applied. Call soon and examine these new and useful articles of domestic use. In addition to the above, the firm mention ed will have, in a few days, a choice lot of the great American Tea Company’s teas— said to be the best on the American conti nent. The Drs. Longs’ Property. AA ant of time last week, rendered -it im possible for us to say anything in regard to the valuable property' advertised for sale by Dr. 11. J. Long, surviving partner of the late firm of J. I). & 11. J. Long. The common expression, “Valuable Property,” conveys but a small idea of what this property really is. There is about 550 acres of land ; 150 acres original forest; 75 acres bottom, thoroughly drained and in a high state of cultivation ; about 25 acres bottom well drain ed, but uncleared ; on the creek and adjacent to the mill-pond is about 75 acres most ex cellent bottom, susceptible of drainage and cultivation. Of the upland, about 100 acres is cleared and the balance in old field, cover ed with the usual growth of pine. &c. The corn and flour mill has recently undergone thorough repairs, and is in excellent condi tion ; the gin and gin-house is also in first rate working order, while the saw-mill, with a good sash-saw, is all that is claimed for a mill of the kind, and is in good running or der. And the whole machinery has a “run of custom" unexcelled in this section of coun try. See advertisement for further partic ulars. Trial before Judge Howard. On Tuesday last, the case of X. B. Cash vs. James Thurmond—application to have obstructions removed from private way-—was tried by the Ordinary; Judge M. M. Pitt man counsel for plaintiff Col. J. B. Silman for defendant. Col. S. made an ingenious and plausible argument to show that his honor had no jurisdiction in such cases, but was overruled and the case proceeded. A decision was rendered in favor of plaintiff, and the obstruction ordered to be removed. The defendant being in ill humor, assaulted plaintiff in the presence of the Court, where upon lie was ordered under arrest for con tempt. The arrest was promptly' made by' our efiicient Sheriff; the lion. Court, howev er, in consideration of the age of the old gen. tleman and his sorrow expressed, declined to fine him—but dismissed him with a repri mand. Afterwards, we learn, the parties | made friends and buried the tomahawk. Salt’s all a mistaken idea to suppose that “crooked whiskey” is confined to Col. Joyce and bis St. Louis friends. We noticed a poor fellow quietly reposing on the stone steps at the “Randolph House” corner the other even ing. Nothing short of “ crooked whiskey” could, in our opinion, induce a man to prefer such a “ couch” as that on a cold afternoon. [ e r May wc be pardoned for a suggestion to the few good people who are inclined to attend the Wednesday night prayer-meetings. And our suggestion is, that they should get closer together. Singing is one of the features of all religious meetings, and the voices of a few people scattered over a large room does not, in our humble estimation, produce that “ concord of sweet sounds” so much desired in the devotional worship of the Most High. IdF’As this paragraph is being indited, Mr. Gillcland is putting the finishing touches to the "hotel fie Hunter and now ye law breakers had better “ stand from under !” With Judge Pittman's County tribunal in al most perpetual session, and anew and safe deposit for those who should fall under his Honor’s executive wrath, it is hoped the morals of some of the denizens of the “ forest” will improve. Some of our exchanges are suggesting the establishment of pauper farms, in order that the large and increasing number of this class of people may be made somewhat self sustaining. Others suggest including the vagrants—and a rigid enforcement of the va grant laws to secure the end. Now, for our suggestion—let the children, black and white, who are strolling over village and hamlet, hill and dale, without employment, be taken up and bound out, or put on the pauper farm, too. EJp’At latest accounts the religious meet ings were still going on in Athens, and on Sunday night last upwards of a hundred ask ed “an interest in the prayers.*’ New Law Firm in Jefferson. By a .“card” to bp found m the proper place, it wm be seen’ that Messrs. J. A. B. , Mlaiuuf£y and AY. S. McCarty, Esqs„ hav£ associated themselves together in the prnc- f tice of the law. We are aware that a ere at] mariy things safrt in the newspapers are rer t garded simply as “ compliincjitjury’'-—to tickle the fancy or vanity of thq-vc mentioned. But 1 when we sav these two young gentlemen arp. worthy the confidence ofthe “great pßbile at, large” — arid when wc Isay* all bft|it£e4sr cn- 1 trusted to them will be faithfully and prompt- 1 ly attended to, we only make an assertion that would receive endorsement, were it at all necessary, from every man woman nu.d child who hqs ever known cither of t|iem. A Needed Refcrmation. All large towns and pities ffaveyl,—and all I small towns, and villages, where laborers and 1 mechanics arc expected to work, ought to J have it. Reference is here intended to some j kind of standard time—some means by which i “ work hours’' may be systematized and made 1 uniform. The loss of time and labor to those who employ hands and run the usual “slip shod” schedule would soon pay' all necessary expense incurred iu adopting some plan to have regular business hours established and kept up, and fixing up some certain rule by which the people of the town might know at what hour to have their “houses in order” for breakfast, dinner and supper. “ Cjnstom makes laws, - ’ is an old maxim ; and it often makes some very bad ones. “ A word to the wise,” &c. Homer High School. Editor Forest News : —The Homer High School will resume exercises about the last of January, 187 G. The Trustees of the school have secured the services of Professor William H. Simpicix*, of Jackson county', a gentleman thoroughly qualified to teach— having given universal satisfaction the pre sent year as Principal of the school; and it can be said without stretching the truth that Prof. Simpkins' pupils have made almost un precedented progress in their studies. The citizens of llomcr and surrounding country have determined to make the Homer High School second to none, arid have there fore made arrangements (have nearly all the money raised) to build a large and commo dious school building thirty by sixty feet, two stories high, completely finished ; and as the work is now under contract—material all bought—we expect to have the house finished by the last of January next. Board is mod erate in Homer; provisions cheap, and good board can be had at ten dollars per month, in private families. So come along, every body, if you want to be educated without it's costing all you have. We man business in. Ranks ! Yours,* Ac. Homer.

Remarkable History of the Family.— The Quitman Reporter chronicles the sad death of a young man named Samuel Mc- Leod. 11c was sitting on the railroad track, stupefied by drink. The conductor struck him and carried him a short distance, when he fell to one side and was caught under the wheels and so horribly mangled his friends could scarcely recognize him. lie was the last of seven sons. At the breaking out of the late war between the States, {his was probably one of the largest families to bo found anywhere in Ibis section—numbering seven boys and five girls—none of whom were married. Among the first volunteer com panies, the three oldest boy's enlisted and went to the front. In the course of a year or two the two next oldest reached the required age, and joined the army. When the South ern armies surrendered, there was not one of them left to return to their once happy home. Thus.had these aged parents seen the lives of their first five, sons sacrificed, one by one, in vain upon the altar of their country. They had still two sons left, who, at the close of the war, were small boy r s. Gradually they grew into manhood, and in the latter pait of 1873, the youngest of these was killed in a difficulty lii Swaynesboro’, Emanuel county. nPAdjoumed term of Gwinnett Court first Monday in December.

Boston, November 29,—Business in the neighborhood of State street and the burned district, was almost entirely suspended, and the stores closed, on account of the Wilson Obsequies. Flags were at half mast all over the’euy. which, in many localities, wore the aspect, of Sunday. At Lowell.

November 27.—The coroner's ju ry* found that the Pacific should hot have been injured by the collision if sound and substantial. The Collision was caused by the Orpheus bein6 improperly steered. The watch on the deck of the Pacific was insufficient. The I'aciftc had 288 aboard and five boats, the utmost capacity: of which was 160. The boats could not be Bandied by an insufficient and undisciplined crew. The Captain of the Orpheus,sailed away without trying to ascer tain whau damage the Pacific had sustained. TITE COMING CONGRESS, Washington, November 29.—The with drawal of Mr. AA r opd from the contest for Speaker created a sensation to-day. In authorizing the withdrawal of his name, Mr. AVo oft declined to say for whom he would cast his influence. The respective friends of Kerr, Randall and Cox, are still confident. The contest for the clerkship is active, Major Wedderburn, of Virginia; Major Banks, of Mississippi; Mr. Adams, of Kentucky'; Mr Archer, of Maryland and Dubose, of Georgia, are on the ground. Each will undoubtedly have the support of his state. It is thought the election of Kerr will throw the clerkship to the southeast or the election of Randall to the southwest. Fort Monroe, Va., November 27. —Arthur Curry, a bright and promising boy of 15, son of Lieutenant Jas. Curry, of the sth U.

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, 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 Rradfield’s Female Regulator, put up by s L. H. Bradtield, of.Atlanta, La., at $1.30 per bottle. Such is its curative virtues, that it has 'rained wide-spread popularity all over the country where it libs been made known, and it is being introduced everywhere. We arc informed that immense quantities of this medicine are be ing sold in all sections of the South and South west, especially iu 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.—Lu Grange Reporter. Tiro Miles before Breakfast.

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.
