Something Pretty.
Stepping into the Jewelry store of Messrs.
. Schevetiell & Cos., while in Athens, not
] on since, we noted anew arrival of beauti
ful goods, amongst which were some of the
. K) st magnificent Chemise and Sleeve but
ton#, Studs, &c M that have ever come under
our observation. And the beauty of the
ifiwle matter was, these handsome articles
(were all of the “ pure stuff”—none of your
“make-believes.” Any gentleman into whose
household that noxious disease, the “pouts,”
has ertpt, and perhaps taken strong foothold,
can, no doubt, effect a speedy cure by a twen
itr-five or fifty dollar investment in some of
these superb goods.
Boarding House Notice.
The attention of our readers is called to
the new advertisement, in this issue, of Mr.
k'. Mfltican, who advertises a boarding-house
at No. 15$ and 17 Broad street, Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Millican and his sisters, who are in
chargeofthe “Callaway House,” are, or ought
to be, well known to many of our readers,
having been raised in this count}’. They are
nice, thoroughgoing people, and no doubt
keep a good house, in neat style. When our
friends go to Atlanta, they would do well to
gve Mr. Millican and tlte “Callaway House”
trial. Its location is central, and easy of
access from the Depot.

Court of Ordinary, April Term.
Ihe following, among other matters, were
disposed of by the Ordinary on Monday and
I uesday, while the regular monthly Court
was in session:
E. J. Sharp, Administrator of N. G. Sharp,
vs. W m . Sharp. Rule to attend settlement.
Letters of Dismission granted R. S. Cheney
and H. M. Appleby, Administrators of Wm.
Appleby, deceased.
D. G. Yeargin, Administrator of B.J. Year
gin, was also discharged by Letters Dismis
sory.
The application of T. J. Stapler for Let
ters of Administration on L. A. Stapler’s es
tate, was granted, and applicant qualified and
gave bond.
E. J. Sharp was appointed Guardian of W.
G. and B. Sharp.
Leave was granted W. L. Webb, Adminis
trator of J. D. Scott, to sell insolvent papers.
J he application for Letters of Dismission
from the Administration of Charles Smith,
deceased, by Alfred Smith and Noah W. Pitt
man, the Administrators, was, on motion of
applicants, continued till next regular term
in May.
Some other matters of minor importance
received the attention of the Court, and some
returns were filed in office.
Court was adjourned4>y Sheriff Hunter on
Tuesday evening, under order from the dig
nitary who is the presiding genius therein.—
And thus the mill ceased to grind until “ Court
in course.”
April Sale Day.
The busy seasou, the small amount of prop
erty advertised for sale and the scarcity of
money, coupled with the previous rainy davs,
all conspired to make “Sale Day” “stale,
flat and unprofitable.” Over head the day
was bright and beautiful; but under foot, at
least part of the day, was anything but pleas
ant, consequently there were comparatively
few people in town. But two sales of land
took place; these were at Administrator’s
sale ; and on account of the peculiarities of
the “situation,” the bids were very small,
and, we presume, merely nominal, and con
sequently unimportant.
One of the marked features of the day—if
it may be so termed—was the meeting held
for the purpose of choosing delegates to the
Gainesville Convention, which meets on the
26th instant, to elect delegates from the 9th
Congressional District to the National Dem
ocratic Convention. This meeting, the pro
ceedings of which will be elsewhere found,
was very thinly attended ; no previous notice
having been given. However, the gentlemen
composing the delegation are all men of the
“right stripe,” and will, we opine, do honor
to the trust reposed in them.
We are gratified to say the Forest Neics
was not entirely forgotten on the occasion—
a few of its patrons coining up to the “Cap
tain’s office” and “ showing their faith by
their works.” For all of which the writer is
devoutly thankful.
Martin Institute,
We have been informed, is in a most flourish
ing condition—the number of pupils being at
present one hundred even. This is as it
should be. Prof. Glenn stands in the “ front
rank” as an educator, and his assistants, each
and all, have, in the past, proven themselves
eminently qualified for their respective posi
tions. We are not at all in favor of “blow
ing our own trumpet” too loud ; but all things
considered—the moral tone of society—the
freedom of the town from those haunts of vice
with which larger and more pretentious places
are infested—the pure and bracing climate—
the excellent water —and last, though not
least, the low rates of board among the fam
ilies of the town, and also the small charge
for tuition, all offer extraordinary inducements
to the young lady or gentleman seeking an
education on a cheap basis.
The Northeastern Railroad.
As regards this enterprise, the Athens pa
pers inform us that R. L. Moss, Esq., lias
been elected General Superintendent, that he
has recently’ returned from Chattanooga,
where he purchased some flat cars for the
Company. Eight box cars have been bought
from Louisville. Kentucky, and Mr. Moss
will contract for the engine, passenger, bag
gage and mail coaches in a short time.
Fourteen miles of the road have already
been finished, and with an increase of hands
which have been put upon the force, the en
tire route will be completed by the middle of
July or the first of August.
“Price Mines,” Hall county.
Mr. B. W. Rtmney, of Athens, passed
through Jefferson one day last week, on his
way (as he informed us) to the above mines
in Hall. Mr. R. has leased this property and
appears in high spirits at the prospect of do
ing better than waiting for “something to turn
up” in the cotton line in Athens. Success
to you, old friend ; and may your brightest
anticipations be realized.
Wheat and Oats.
Wheat, as we are informed by intelligent
parties, is looking well throughout this sec
tion. On some farms, where the “ rust proof”
oats were sown, they have been almost or
entirely killed out by the late cold, freezing
weather. The “Jones fall oat,” wherever
planted, makes fine progress. The above is,
in substance, what we have learned from those
who profess to know about these matters.
“ If there is no Hell there Ought to be,”
For the members of wealthy corporations who

they cut dowrf the wages of their operatives

who says he's “ not an operator either.

Hon. J. M. Potts’ Reply to Hon. G. R. Duke.
Jefferson, Ga., April Ist, 1876.
Editor Forest News : —Please permit me,
through the columns of your paper, to answer
an article which appeared in to-day’s issue.
I will answer it to-night, hence I must be
brief. I consider it a very weak thing, but
men of strong minds, such as Mr. Duke and
the man who composed the article, may con
sider it a great thing.
You know, Mr. Duke, that I have not said
in any article that I had my views published
on the Convention question : and you know
this, that you cannot get one hundred men to
agree on any one subject, much less eleven
hundred, (I will leave you out this time.) I
simply meant that a large majority of the
people were in favor of a Convention, and
were willing to trust me on that or any other
important question. So far as I was individ
ually concerned, I favored a Convention, and
so stated, both to white and colored, as I did
not then, nor do I now wish to deceive anv
person. Now, if you are right, Mr. Duke, the
people will sustain you. Then why all this
tom-foolery about Convention—repeating over
and over again the same thing ? I am get
ting tired of it. and no doubt the people are.
1 said I would not reply to you if you stuck
to the truth; you have not done so, hence I
reply for the last time. You say I rode into
power and office by holding to your coat-tail.
Now, if that be true, I must have pulled that
tail smack, smooth off. as I was considerably
ahead at the end of the race. Who done the
holding on, Mr. Duke?
I said nothing about your not complying
with your private contracts. What you said
on that subject vras not true. .*
I did not think you would meet me to dis
cuss the politics of the day before the people.
You do not wish to act quite so fair as that;
and the truth is, you would not write against
me yourself, but some fellow who is holding
on to your coat-tail (like you say I did) to get
into office, and he will do your writing for
you. I doubt very much if any other gentle
man ever succeeds as well as you say I did,
by holding on to that wonderful coat-tail of
3'ours. One fellow has tried it since ; he took
the Tyler-grip on that tail, and he got as far
as Gainesville, and the tail pulled off, and
left the poor fellow with his hotel and liquor
bills to pay, and to return home very much
disappointed. Others have grabbed hold of
the place where the tail ought to be, and will
meet the same fate, in my humble judgment.
You said I had the floor while the Conven
tion bill was before the House for discussion.
I told you the plain, simple truth about that
in my last article; therefore, what you said
in your last article on that subject is a wil
ful falsehood. Ido not think you can prove
what you say you can by Lemuel Anderson ;
if you do, you will prove a positive lie. As
to what I may have said about reconsidering,
after the vote was taken, either in the House
or out of it, I have nothing to say at present.
llow can you have the fool-hardy impudence
to say that you know more about that sub
ject than I do, when, as I have told yon be
fore, you were not there at the time the merits
of the bill were being discussed ?
You say no candidate committed himself
on the Convention question. I have told you
repeatedly that I did ; you still deny it, while
l very well know that your denial of the fact
is a wilful falsehood on your part.
You say you and your friends elected me
in the last election. lam very much obliged
to your friends for voting for me, but remem
ber, Mr. Duke, many of them were and are
still my friends also. You say you and your
friends made me. I was made long before
you was born.
As to my using all the influence I possess
ed to have part of Jackson county cut off to
Banks and Hall counties, you know to be
false. I said, in substance, about this, before
the Committee : that, while I would hate very
much to give up any of our citizens to Banks
or Hall, I could not object if it was their de
sire to do so, as counties were made, in my
opinion, for the convenience of the people.—
That is all I said to any member of the House
on the subject, except what I said to Candler,
Turnbull, and yourself. Now, Duke, is that
j using all the power I possess ? You are bet
ter informed than to think that.
Now, what of the hunting and fishing law.
'about which you talked so much, in regard to
hunting and fishing on enclosed laud ? You
did move to have Jackson county exempted
from the provisions of the bill; I opposed it;
a rising vote was taken twice; a sufficient
number would not vote to decide the ques
tion, as they did not want to take sides in the
j matter; the Chairman ordered the call for
the j’phs and nays. I have not the shadow
of a doubt but what I could have carried my
point, but to save time and feelings. I with
drew my opposition, knowing that such was
already the law, only we havtto advertise to
carry it into effect. Now, wasn't that a won
derful victory ?
And, Mr. Duke, did you go all the way to
i Atlanta, and draw $308.00, just to stand senti
nel to keep Potts from having a law passed
which was already a law in substance ? Did
you hold the important office of sentinel while
in Atlanta, and did you know that the law
was hard on sentinels when they deserted
j their post in time of danger ? What might I
I not have done, Hon. Mr. Sentinel, during
your absence ? You deserted your post, did
you ? There is no excuse for it, but you said
i you had an excuse once when 3 T ou left, what
; was it ? Why. a d—d negro woman had fallen
out with your wife, and that she might play
I h—ll, and you must go home and see about
i it. Bully for a sentinel.
You say lam a land-holder. I have got
j land, Mr. Duke, but I worked hard for it, and
jit is nearly all paid for. How did you get
| your land ? If all part ies interested had their
j just rights, would you have enough to be
! buried on, much less to hunt and fish on, and
to divide with big men, as I understand you
have done ? I possibly may be mistaken in
regard to the division. You have never heard
i of me preventing any person, white or color
ed, from hunting or fishing on my land ; but
I wish to be distinctly understood on this
point —justice, equity, nor common sense gives
no man the* right to trespass inside of en
closures without leave. There are many good
and noble men who are in debt, and many
who do not own land, who are ray friends;
and I love them from the bottom of mv soul,
and nothing that you can say about hunting
or fishing will change their friendship.
You have a very few friends whom I fear
behind my back, as I stated before, and you
will never get me to take back-water on that.
I am not indebted to you, Mr. Duke, for any
thing, but lamto my friends. I would state
here that many of your friends are clever and
good. If I have to be judged for being weak
headed. I shall want a man of more brains
than yourself to be the judge ; and as to my
being faint-hearted, just call on me at any
time and judge for yourself. I am keeping
mv own conscience, you need not fret about
that. You say “the guilty flee when no man
I pursueth. but the righteous are as bold as a
lion.” I may have fled; if I haM\ I hare
left the field in possession of a man who is as
bold, iu my opinion, as a male’s daddy, and
righteooa enough to suit himself, I suppose.
I beg pardon for being rather lengthy; it
i9 getting late. Respectfully submitted,
J. M. POTTS.
P. B.* I* should not have mentioned yonr
name publicly, Mr. Duke, had you not ac
cused me, through the public journals, of mis
representing the people of Jackson county ;
but wonhibave continued to treat you with
the utmoet respect, as I can abundantly prove
I did do up to that very moment.

Clarkesboro’ Wide Awake I
Mr. Editor —Thinking a few “ dots” from
our “ wide awake” section would not fail to
be perused by some of the readers of your
valuable paper, I send them, subject to your
disposal. .
The cold weather and rain will cause the
farmers to be very late planting both corn
and eofcton. There was some corn planted
before the snow, which I think will rot in the
ground. Very little cotton land is prepared
for planting, as yet. Bottom land is too wet
for preparation.
Yea can rest assured that the people of our
section are determined to make their farms
self-sustaining—that they are going to raise
their own “hog and hominy” and sorghum,
let others do as they see proper; and also, to
avoid going in debt. And until the farmers
throughout the Southern States pursue the
same coarse, prosperity will never exist in
our country. Then 1 would saj' to my broth
er forieyyrs—to my brother Grangers—-V* all
tillers of the soil—raise your own
meat, your syrup, your potatoes, your peas,
3 r our chickens, make your own milk and but
ter, and last, though not least, avoid going
in debt, and then make all the cotton you
can ; then we will be a happy, prosperous and
free people. Will you do so ? Let politics,
alone ; turn your own grind stone, and not for
politicians.
Mr. Editor, the cry “ hard times” is heard
from the “ mountains to the sea-board.” Is
it true ? Most assuredly it is. What is the
cause ? Is there no money in the country ?
Just as much as there ever was. Is it be
cause the farmers are all bankrupt ? That
they are bankrupt is a mistake. I will re
mark, Without fear of contradiction, that, as
a general thing, the farmers this j’ear are bet
ter prepared to run their farms than they
have since the war. Then why all this
false alarm ? Why all this excitement ? No
one hurt as yet! The cause, Mr. Editor, is
this : the people have lost confidence in each
other; and where this is the case, “times”
will be “hard” ; and we will never be a pros
perous people until confidence is restored.
The peach crop has been nearly all killed
by the snow and sleet; apples are not in
jured yet.
Our neighborhood was considerably excited
last Sunday, concerning the horse thieves, of
which you gave an account in your last issue.
Reliable-information has reached us that one
of the thieves was wounded in the arm. Too
much praise cannot be said of Gen. L. Wil
liamson and Lieut. R. Evans for ferreting out
the thieves and conducting the skirmish.—
“ Long may they wave.”
We visited the city of Athens a lew days
ago. In a few minutes after our arrival, we j
heard bad news concerning the editor of the
Forest Neics —that he was going to shoot his
delinquents. We denied it, but told them
“town.fo-Wcs” he was going to make someboily
fix that “mud hole,” and we hoped he would
succeed, and if he needed any help, all he
had to do was to “ tap his drum.”
Yours, sweetly, Curry’s Creek.

J. Bradtield’s Female Regulator is beyond prece
dent in the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Proprietor has
heretofore been unable to fill them all. He is hap.
ny to state that arrangements are now complete
by which he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emergency, and
the public may feel assured that their wants may
now be supplied. Physicians of high repute are
using this great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suffer from
suppressed, suspended or irregular menstruation.
This valuable medicine is prepared by L. H. Brad

America.

Mesn'it. Bradjitld C’o.—Gentlemen You will
please ship us another supply of your invaluable
Female Regulatoil and forward bill by mail.
We are happy to state that this remedy gives bet
ter satisfaction than any article we sell. We have
been selling it since 186S. and witnessed many re
markable cures by it. Among others, there was
a lady friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when she was
married. Her husband lived two years and died.
She continued in bad health ; in fact, she has nev
er been what a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband, she saw your ad
vertisement, and came to our store and bought a
bottle of your Regulator from us, and took it ac
cording to directions. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly periods on. and
to-day she is a hearty, blooming widow—with the
use ot but two bottles of your Regulator, costing
her only three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of money with
out any benefit. Wishing you great success with
your valuable remedies,
are. respectfully yours, etc..
