OUR STATUS AND PROSPECTS.
AVe deem it not amiss at the close of the
first six months of onr existence in the news
pnj>er world, to give our patrons and sub
scribers, as well as the balance of mankind,
some statement as to how we have progress
ed and how we hope to succeed in the future,
by (he aid of friends and our own efforts.
We take great pleasure in announcing that
upon looking into the condition of affairs in
Tiik Forest News office, that the paper is in
a healthy condition, and is paying expenses,
notwithstanding the difficulties under which
the enterprise started, and the many disad
vantages under which we labor—such as re
moteness from railroad communication, the
want of general mail facilities in nearly all
portions of the county, and the great scarcity
of money, which is, and has been ever since
the establishment of this paper, so fearfully
affecting every individual as well as ever}'
business concern in the land. The success
attained encourages the management of the
enterprise to renewed efforts to merit still
more, the esteem and patronage of the local
and general reading public. It was thought
by wise and experienced men to be a hazard
ous undertaking to begin t he publication of a
newspaper in the county when oui‘3 started ;
and, doubtless, there are those now who have
no faith in the permanency of the paper; but
we have no hesitation in proclaiming that we
mean to make it a grand success by pursuing
that course which will result in the greatest
possible good for the interest of each and
every portion of Jackson county; and we
ftope ere long, with now and much better mail
facilities—now secured—to be able to send
The Fokest News into every settlement and
comnnmity—yea, into almost every family in
the county. We did not set. in to stop—but
.started to keep going; and we shall press
forward and surmount difficulties until vic
tory, redounding in great good to tire whole
people, shall perch upon our banners and
erown our efforts.
No spasmodic effort has been made in or
der to attain our present success ; no special
effort made ; but we have attained our pres
ent satisfactory status by almost impercepti
ble steps. Our subscription list has been
gradually increased* until we number some
five hundred goo 1 paying subscribers, and if
we only had direct mail routes to Harmony
Grove, Maysville, and the Jack Randolph
District, and one through Chandler’s District
and Santa Fee, and a Post-Office at Clarks
borough. wc could double our present number,
in our judgment, by the time the paper is a
year old. Some of these facilities we are sure
to have before a great while, and may we not
hope, by well directed efforts, to attain all
this and more besides—which now seems
impracticable.
We desire to return thanks to numerous
friends in various localities for the interest
manifested in the welfare of the paper. Who
ever speaks a good word in behalf of the en
terprise does a good deed, and is aiding in
the public weal; for the aim and effort is, and
shall be. to build up our magnificent county,
and all the material, moral and social inter
ests of her people. For this we are striving
honestly and energetically, and wc hope and
confidently expect the assistance of all our
fellow-citizens. Our advertising patronage is
gradually increasing, and with increasing cir
culation, may be expected to double soon.
AVe endeavor to be reasonable with adver
tisers. and trust to share our part with the
neighboring press. Our Job office is now
well arranged for getting up most work usu
ally done in a country office. And now what
do we need ? Why. a host of friends; good,
active friends, to take, pay for, and read the
News, and persuade all their friends to go
and do likewise. Let us have them, and we
insure that the cit izens of Jackson can boast
that in addition to having a county unsur
passed in the State for strength and fertility
of soil, magnificent water-powers, fine stock,
good, well-to-do out-of-debt honest fanners
and working men. numerous churches, and
good schools in every community—that they
will have the best county newspaper publish
ed in Georgia, though it may eininate from
the midst of the forest. Don't hesitate, friends,
but come right up and aid in the work, and a
little help from all will do great good. Let
every one who has not paid his dues, step
right up to the Captain's office and perform
that duty at once. The year is drawing to a
close, and money is needed to pay for labor
and material. The pa3’ment of small bills
insures the payment of large ones. Two dol
lars.will pay lots of debts in a short while, if
you will only set it agoing.
Respectfully submitted,
Wiley C. llowakd,
Chairman Executive Committee.
it is said the late Vice-President drank
no intoxicating liquors; but he was a great
eater, and this intemperateness brought on
apoplexy, of which he died. Right here a
nice quest ion presents itself, and that is, which
is worse on the constitution, or will produce
death soonest, intemperance in liquor drink
ing or intemperance in eating ?

North Georgia Methodist Conference.
This body convened in Griffin on the Ist
inst. Bishop Keener presiding.
Rev. John W. lleidt, the Secretary for
many years, was unanimously re-elected.
The following members were elected his
assistants: J. 11. Baxter, Josiah Lewis,
Thomas Seals and W. I*. Lovcjoy.
We do not suppose that it is expected of a
county paper to go into anything like full
details of the action of this or any kindred
assembly, Indeed, from what we have seen
of the proceedings —daily—during the ses
sion, there was nothing more transacted than
the usual routine business—nothing of extra
ordinary importance, we mean. From our
exchanges we glean the following items of
general interest to the denomination and the
public, perhaps:
The names of superannuated preachers
wore called and their characters passed.
Revs. W. A. Florence. Miles W. Arnold,
Miller 11. White, and Richard J. Harwell
were placed upon the effective list.
Six were admitted on trial into the Con
ference —among them Wm. 1). Anderson, a
lawyer of promince from Marietta.
Rev. Athens G. Ilaygood has been elected
President of Emory College, in place of Dr.
(). L. Smith, resigned, and l)r. Smith was se
lected to the Latin Professorship.
While Conference was in session, Rev.
Joshua Parker died in Atlanta, of consump
tion.
J. W. Burke & Cos. reported the profits of
the Southern Christian, Advocate to be $1,700.
The following local preachers were elected
to deacon’s orders: N. C. Glenn, A. C. Da
vidson, 1). L. Parish, L. J Reid, G. W.
Moore, J. J. Mithven, W. J. Timmons, W. S.
Lester.
Joseph T. Cromwell was received from the
Methodist Protestant Church and Rev. Wm.
Chapman f;om the Missionary Baptist
Church.
After an impressive address by the Bishop
the following ministers who had been serving
two years in the Conference were admitted
into full connection : W. T. Laine, George
W. Thomas, J. W. Watkins, W, T. Yar
brough. W. R. Foote, Jr., J. 1). Gray. G. E.
Bonner, W. AV. Lampkin and J. 11. Bentley.
Quite a lengthy list of local preachers
were elected to deacon and elders’ orders.
There are between 400 and 500 in this Con
ference, some of whom are able preachers
and efficient helpers to the itinerant minis
ters. •
Dr. W. J. Scott was granted a super
annuated relation. llis health has failed
during the past year.
Rev. Ben. J. Johnson, who broke his leg
by a fall from his buggy, in the early part of
the year, was reported as in a dying con
dition. A purse of $l3O was raised for him
in the Conference and forwarded to him.
Mr. El am Christian, of the Sparta Times :
and Phinter. leaves his tripod and enters the
itinerancy.
Sparta was selected as the place of rhe
next annual meeting. The Atlanta appoint
ments remain unchanged for the ensuing
year. The following are some of the leading
changes: Decatur, Rev J A Reynolds;
Covington, Rev It W Branham ; Oxford, Rev
A G Ilaygood; Edgewood, Rev AY M
Crumley ; Social Circle, Rev W A Florence ;
Xorcross, Rev W T Laine ; Eatonton, Rev
W I) Anderson.
In addition to the above, anew Circuit
called Gillsville” has been established by
taking two churches—Holly Springs and
Wilson's—from Jefferson Circuit and adding
thereto Lebanon, in Banks, and Mt. Bethel,
in Hall county. It will be seen this new
“ work" is presided over by Rev. Mr. Mash
burn. Sr. We had hoped to give the entire
list of appointments in this issue of the
News, but right here the interminable and
never-ending subject, “ want of mail facili
ties," comes in the way, and we shall proba
bly not be able to do so. To W. A.

IdF’Thc Washington correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle thus speaks of the Geor
gia delegation :
It is perhaps the best from the south and
is conceded to be equal to that sent to Wash
ington this winter by any state in the union.
They are the recipients of much flattering at
tention. The utmost harmony seems to pre
vail among the Georgia members, and there
is no likelihood that Georgia's voice will lack
potentiality from a want of a hearty unani
mity among her representatives. Mr. Ste
phen’s absence is much regretted, and there
are many and anxious inquiries concerning
the health of this veteran statesman and po
litical statician. Mr. Hill's reputation has
given him a welcome almost unprecedented
in its cordiality. Col. Ilartridge’s reputation
has also preceded him and he will be most
cordially received. Dr. Felton will co-operate
heartily with the democratic majority. Messrs.
Harris, Cook and Blount, of the old delegation,
are hero, and are much commended b}' their
associates in previous congresses for discre
tion and fidelity in the discharge of their du
ties.
kdp'The mystery concerning the recent na
val preparations is not entirely removed. The
orders which were first issued do not seem
to have been fully countermanded. At all
events, according to Washington telegrams,
orders were issued on Tuesday at the Navy
Department, in great secrecy, for the fitting
up of five iron-clads. This makes a total of
twelve iron-clads which, within three weeks,
have been ready for active service, and em
braces nearly all the available iron-clads.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, December 4. —The Demo
cratic caucus met in the Chamber of Repre
sentatives at 2 o’clock. Considerable time
was spent in acquaintance making. A few
minutes before 4 o'clock the caucus was call
ed to order by Hon. Fernando Wood, of New
York, who proposed Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of
Mississippi, for the chair, which was unani
mously sustained.
Mr. Hollman, of Ind., proposed Mr. Ban
ning. of Ohio, as Secretary. Passed.
On taking the chair, Mr. Lamar made an
able and most admirable address to bis broth
er Democrats in Congress. After which the
balloting for Speaker commenced.
Mr. Kerr was nominated Speaker by the
caucus. Ist ballot: Kerr, 71; Randall, 50 ;
Cox, 31. Second ballot: Kerr, 77 ; Randall,
63; Cox, 21; Saylor, 1. Third ballot: Kerr,
00; Randall, 63; Cox, 7; Saylor, 1. Dur
ing the morning Mr. Wood announced him
self in favor of Kerr, and on the third ballot
Mr. Cox asked his friends to support the suc
cessful candidate.
Mr. Randall said : Mr. Chairman, let the
wish of the majority be the voice of all from
this moment. The differences among our
selves must be at an end, and thus present
ing a united front to our adversaries. Our
mission on this floor must be, as far as we are
able, to restore the government to its consti
tutional purposes, and to expose the corrup
tions of the administration. A word more of
a personal character to those around who
have steadily supported me, they have lost
their choice, bntjhave gained a life-long friend.
I now move that the nomination of Michael
C. Kerr be made unanimous.
Washington. December s. —Fourth ballot
for Clerk, Adams, 47 ; Crittenden, 46 ; Tyler,
7; Shoeber. 10; Banks, 22; Dußosc, 16;
Archer, 7 ; Whitehead, 7.
Adams is nominated.
Thompson, of Ohio, Sergeant-at-Arms; 11.
F. Fitzhugh, of Texas, Door-Keeper.
Jos. Stewart, of Va., Postmaster; Rev. J.
L. Townsend, Episcopalian, of Washington,
Chaplain.
Washington, December 6.—F. A. Moore
was appointed Door-Keeper of the Reporters
Gallery of the Senate.
llol^e.—Mr. Kerr’s speech was as follows :
Gentlemen of the House of Represen
tatives : lam truly gratified for the honor
you have conferred in calling me to this ex
alted station. I profoundly appreciate the
importance and delicacy of its duties. I shall
doubtless many times need your patient in
dulgence. I pray that you will grant it, and
with nothing but kindly feeling toward every
member of the House, I promise that in my
official acts I will divest myself, to the ut
most of my ability, of all personal bias, and
observe complete fairness and impartiality
towards all, and towards all the great and
diversified interests of our country represent
ed in this House.
Two hundred and eighty present. In swear
ing in members. Messrs. Morey, of Louisiana,
and Goode, of Virginia, were asked to stand
aside, as their seats were contested. A mo
tion to refer Morey’s credentials, after a
warm debate, failed, and he was sworn in.
Mr. Goode, after a short discussion, was
also sworn in.
Lamar offered a resolution declaring the
following officers of the House :
Clerk—Geo. W. Adams, of Kentucky.
Sergeant-at-Arms—John G. Thompson, of
Ohio.
Door-Keeper—Lafayette A. Fitzhugh, of
Texas.
Postmaster—Jas. M. Stewart, of Virginia.
Chaplain—Rev. J. L. Townsend, of the
District of Columbia. Adopted.
After appointing a committee to wait on
the President and ordering the drawing for
seats to-morrow at 1 o'clock, House adjourn
ed.
Washington, 1). C., Dec. 6.
Senate. — The Senate was called to order,
Mr. Ferry occupying the Chair.
House. —McPherson, Clerk, called the
House to order.
McEnery’s certificates were read and ( laid
aside.
The Mississippi delegation was received on
the credentials signed by the Lieutenant-
Governor.
The call of the roll is progressing, and the
crowd in attendance is large.
The Senate adopted the usual resolutions
to notify the President and House of Repre
sentatives that a quorum of the Senate had
assembled and was ready for business, and
then adjourned, after a statement by Anthony
that it was not probable that the message
could be received to-day.
THE FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
The new House (sa} r s the Atlanta Consti
tution,) consists of 21)2 representatives, and
nine territorial delegates, making a total of
301, which is a goodsized audience any
where. These are politically divided into
177 democrats, 101 republicans, 5 liberal
republicans, four independent republicans,
four independent reformers, and one va
cancy—the fourth Tennessee district, which
will elcet Mr. Riddle, a democrat on the
15th of this month. These figures give the
democrats at present fifty three majority
over all. They do not however fairly repre
sent the conservative majority in the new
house, as nearly a dozen of the liberals and
reformers will act with the democratic party.
The analysis is as severe a one as can be
made against the democratic party, coming
as it does from the New York Tribune. Dr.
Felton is undoubtedly one of the Tribune's
“independent reformers,” and he will be as
good a democrat as anybody. But a majori
ty of even fifty-three is satisfactory when it
is remembered that the repulicau majority in
the last house was 105.
The senate contains forty-two republicans,
twenty-nine democrats—a gain of ten—two
independents, and the Louisiana vacancy.
Putting the two bodies together, we have 367
members. Of this number 140 have served
in previous congresses, while the remaining
176 are with a few exceptions, strangers in
Washington. Most of the nftw. members are
young men, and all but seven are natives of
this country. GO of them have received a
collegiate education, two of the members
being graduates of our state university.
Yale furnishes the highest number—six. A
careful count shows that just twenty-six of
the new members were in the Confederate
armv, and that just twenty-six more were in
the federal army. The pursuits of the 176
are thus given : lawyers, 122 ; merchants, 31 ;
farmers, 6 ; physicians, 4 ; bankers, 3 - t editors.
2 ; college professors 2. All but six of the
seventeen new senators are lawyers.
fcdF’The forthcoming report of the Chief of
the Secret Service of the Treasury Depart
ment, will show that a larger number of coun
terfeiters have been arrested and a greater
quantity of counterfeit money and plates
captured during the past year than ever be
fore in any one year.
STATE HEWS ITEMS.
The municipal elections in Augusta and
Atlanta resulted in favor of the Democrats.
John S. .Means was Saturday commission
ed justice of the peace for tlie 1206th district
G. AL, of Banks county.
“The Bright Side" is to be the title of the
new paper which I)r. Gurley and Mr. Grady
proposes publishing at Carnesville. AN e un
derstand the first number will appear in a
few days.
Some of the citizens os C'uthbert are lux
uriating on strawberries now maturing in their
gardens. Think of gathering a basket of de
licious berries in December, grown in open
air.
Brinkley, who is under sentence of death
for killing his wife in Coweta county, and
who has had two ditferent times set apart for
a slack rope performance, has been again re
spited—this time till the 31st March, 1876.
AVe learn from an old and responsible cit
izen that he has a horse which has become
stone blind from epizootic. This is anew
phase of the disease. —Madison Home Jour
nal.
Here is number thirty-one : The gin house
of Messrs. Smith, Burton, Brand & Hammond,
of Newton county, was burned on Tuesday
night, together with sixty-one bales of cotton.
The loss is estimated at over SIO,OOO.
Here is the thirtieth : On the night of the
30th of November the gin-house, together
with the grist and saw mills of Messrs. Ham
mond & Smith, of AA'alton csunty, was burn,
ed. The gin-house contained about fifty bales
of cotton.
J. 11. Braswell, of Norcross, was found
dead in his bed last week, and the Lawrence
ville Herald says he told a gentleman of that
place recentty, that within two years he had
swallowed nearly fourteen hundred gallons
of whiskey—about two gallons per day.
The Hon. J. AY. Renfroe, of AVasliington
county, has been appointed State Treasurer
by Gov. Smith, in place of Col. Jack Jones,
removed. He has given bond and entered
upon the discharge of his duties. He will
hold the place until a Treasurer shall be
elected by the Legislature.
The Arkwright Cotton Factory earned for
the month of November SBOO net, and if there
were 4,000 spindles more, $2,000 per month,
even at the present low prices of yearns, could
be realized. The present earnings are at the
rate of about 0 per cent, on the capital stock.
— Sav. News, sth.
Newnan Star : It is a remarkable fact that
there is not a German or Jew engaged in bu
siness of any character in Newnan, the onl} r
place, we suppose, of its size and business
on the continent that can say the same. AN r e
cannot give any reason why it is, or should
be so, for as a general thing they make good,
substantial citizens, and the}' can proudly
challenge the people to point to a Jewish
widow uncared for or neglected ; to the Jew
ish orphan forsaken or a burden to the com
munity ; to the beggar asking alms of the
public. AVhat other nation can say as much ?
From a private dispatch from Atlanta, we
learn that the Supreme court, on Saturday,
dismissed the case of Tunis G. Campbell vs.
State of Georgia. This affirms the decision
of the Court below (the Mclntosh Superior
Court), and Campbell will now have to serve
the term in the penitentiary for which he was
sentenced. This case is an entirely different
one from the one which Farrow, Thomas and
other Radical leaders are endeavoring to have
moved to the United States Courts, so ns to
have the “Governor of St. Catherine’s’’ on
hand to raise a row in Mclntosh county at
the ensuing elections.— Sav. News. sth.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS PARAGRAPHS.
Tweed’s Escape.
“ Boss” Tweed, who, the reading public will
remember has been in prison in New York
for a good while—for swindling the city au
thorities—made his escape the other day. The
following is about the last version of how he
made his exit: —
New York, Dec. 6.—lnspector Dilkes be
lieves that Tweed is on the ocean. There is
good reason to believe that Tweed made his
escape many hours before it was reported. It
is generally believed that AYarden Dunham
and Keeper Hagan were privy to his escape,
and that Tweed embarked on some private
craft on East river, in which he is now sail
ing for foreign parts. Tweed’s cases which
were lip to-day, were postponed.
BURNED TO DEATH.
Montreal, December s.—On Saturday Rev.
Father Murphy, editor of the True Witness,
gave his famous lecture on “Papal Infallibili
ty,” and with Rev. Father Lynch, a talented
young priest, lately from Ireland, drove out
to Back river, seven miles from Montreal,

The Joiinson-Imboden Affair.—Gen
eral Imboden lias not yet arrived in Rich

he will certainly resent the attempt to

parties will fight, notwithstanding the fact
that they have been bound over to keep the

Four Vice Presidents have died in office.
These were George Clinton, who died in
