Please Write Plain and Legible.
There is an opinion, very prevalent, that
printers can read anything in the shape-or
t-iat is called writing. Well, generally speak-
n O , they can ; but if there is any one thing
oi which (hey have no time, it is “to stop
•stock still” and worry and toil and rack their
brains over badly written manuscripts. And
while, therefore, we most respectfully invite
correspondents to give us the news concern
ing matters of interest—( please remember
that)-—-yte shall be grateful irideed, if they will
take pains and write their communications so
that they be deeyphered readily and without
trouble to the type-setter.
N. B. M e hope to be fully onderstood.
No disrespect or reflection is intended to
wards any one who has contributed to our
columns. But “time is money !” Our work
ing force has been diminished to the lowest
economical “ notch,” and it is entirely too
gieai, a task, when pushed for time, to be
compelled to re-write or lose hours in trying
to interpret hieroglyphics, when a liitle pains
on the part of writers would do away with all
unnecessary trouble.

Harrisburg District.
A correspondent who fails to give us his
name—but says we can get it by asking for
it—writes us that Harrisburg is “right side
up,” and alive to all the interests of the work
ing-man and farmer. Among the industries
of the District, are mentioned three grist and
saw-mills, two or three gins and a shoe-shop.
These are all in the hands of thorough-going
gentlemen. The schools of J. H. McCarty,
Esq., and Mrs. M. M. Henry, offer extraordi
nary inducements in the way of education for
the children of the District. Within the ter
ritory of Harrisburg, are a good many of the
best farmers of the county—and as good as
any in the State.
Our worthy friend speaks very favorably
of the hopes and prospects of the Lodge of
Good Templars at Dry Pond, and thinks the
lodge will soon number 100 members.
Being pressed for time and space, we have
taken the liberty of condensing the commu
nication of our correspondent—giving the
substance without “ enlarging” on individu
als or anything else.

Col. Pike’s New Law Stand.
For some time past our excellent and wor
thy Mayor lias been “overseeing” the remod
eling and fixing up generally, of his new law
office, one door below the old “Billy Thomp
son corner,” and next door to Stanley & Pin
son’s. Mr. Ed. Wilson, painter, has just
about put the finishing touch thereon, and
the Col. will soon be domiciled in his neatly
arranged sanctum sanctorum. It is a cozy
and well arranged establishment for the pur
pose intended, and we see but one objection
to the location. The urbane and gentleman
ly manners of the gifted proprietor, his enter
taining and instructive conversational quali
ties, coupled with the fact that his new office
is on the shady side of the street, with other
agreeable surroundings, offer extra induce
ments for the every-day convocations of the
“ Lazy Club.”
Reward for Horse Thieves.
Attention is called to the Governor’s Pro
clamation to be found in our advertising col
umns this week. The fact that the two Kel
lys have been caught, is by no means a
guaranty that the depredations of the gang
are at an end. One, at least, of the party, is
known to be at large, and he will, doubtless,
endeavor to reach his friends either in this
county or Madison. Let all hands, especial
ly officers of the law, be on the alert, and
leave no stone unturned to secure, if possible,
the arrest of all who have any connection
with this gang whatever.
The Kellys.
We do not deem it necessary to go further
into details concerning Chas. and Ed. Kelly.
They are now where the}* ought to have been
long ago, and the public mind is at ease, so
far as they are concerned, for the present.
Charles is in the hands of the Principal keep
er of the Penitentiary, while Ed. is passing
away his valuable (?) time in jail at Athens.
Mr. Howard, of Oglethorpe, has got his stock,
Mr. Hancock his buggy, and Mr. Brazelton
his mule ; all, we presume, a “ little worse for
wear.”
Serious Result of a Runaway.
That good citizen. Mr. John McCoy, we
regret to learn, was badly hurt a day or two
ago—having three or four ribs broken, in ad
dition to other injuries—by the running away
of a pair of mules attached to a wagon. W e
have been unable to get particulars, but give
the information as received. -
Boggs’ New Methodist Church.
We have beeu requested to give notice,
says*the Southern Watchman , that Bishop
Pierce will dedicate the new church on the
second Sunday in June, and that Dr. 1 otter
will preach there in the afternoon of the same
day. It is located about four miles from
Athens, on the river” road to Jefferson.
Christy, of the Southern Watch
man, gives it as his opinion, from personal
observation, that there will be a good supply
of peaches, with apples, &c., in abundance,
fiiis year, notwithstanding the “ cold snaps.”
I3TIf you pass through the hen-roost with
careful eye, just now, you will notice a sad
ness creeping over the countenances of the
old hens. It is not simply the knowledge
that they must die, but the thought that they
must be sold for spring chickens.
Important Legal Question.
A case involving the constitutionality of
the Act of the Legislature of 1875, prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors within two
miles of the Court-house in Jefferson, was up
before Judge Pittman on Wednesday last—
his Honor holding the Act to be unconstitu
tional. By agreement of counsel on both
sides, the case goes “up” to Judge Rice for
his opinion.
The point on which Judge Pittman based
his decision was, that while the “ body” of
the Act was composed of two “subjects mat

Harmony Grove Correspondence.
EditorFokestNews : The Jefferson mail
reaches this place on Wednesdays and Satur
days, via Athens, and leaves here on Tues
days and Fridays, hence you can account for
my silence in regard to matters in last week’s
News, which has not come to hand yet. If
there is anything in it worthy my attention,
it will be abundantly bestowed in ray next.
It is one of my rules of conduct never to let
a worthy object suffer for want of a little at
tention on my part, if in my power to pre
vent it.
Since my last I had the pleasure of visit
ing your pleasant little village, where I met
some good friends and made the acquaint
ance of several gentlemen whom I am proud
to know. I was somewhat surprised at not
finding any member of “ that little ring, you
know.” I hope “ Beppo's” appearance in
town did not frighten them all into their holes-
The amiable Ordinary and the docile Sheriff
did not appear to feel uneasy, hence I at
once concluded they did not belong to it.—
The former was in a good humor over the
capture of the Kellys, and the latter appear
ed to be indifferent to the question as to
whether anybody ought to be hung in this
county, or not.
Besides those two gentlemen, I met several
Good Templars there, whom I was more than
glad to take by the hand. They are moral
heroes who labor for the good of others, and
are worth} 1 ' of honor. By-the-wav, it grows
more patent every day that Jackson county
is decidedly temperance in her proclivities.
If it were left to the people to settle the ques
tion, there would be but little pop-skull whis
key sold in the county.
It is now pretty generally understood that
the citizens of Harmony Grove will celebrate
the completion of the Northeaster’ll Railroad
this summer by a grand barbecue, in the good
old style. A committee have already been
appointed to make preliminary arrangements.
Everybody in Jefferson will be invited, and
the “ head of the dog” will be muzzled that
day ! John Ray and Bill Goss say they will
guarantee safety to all, if the tail doesn’t come
out. The iron is now laid on the road to
within one mile of our town.
Our farmers complain very much of rust in
the wheat, and not without reason. Some of
the wheat fields are beginning to turn yellow
and will become almost a total loss. It is
sincerely hoped that such is not the case in
other sections. Corn and cotton are being
pushed with bnsiness-like energy. It is dif
ficult to prognosticate either crop in this sec
tion as yet. Everybody, though, seems bent
on raising a “ centennial” crop, if the quan
tity of guano used is any criterion by which
to judge. Some calculate on making fortunes
on cotton at ten cents, and buying corn at
ninety. I can’t understand the rule for such
calculations, as it was never taught in any
school that I attended in ray youth. It must
be a rule, though, for many men, otherwise
regarded as perfectly sane, w'ork it out every
year —minus the fortune.
One of our oldest citizens has invented a
horse-collar-hame. which, for usefulness, in
genuity and simplicity, surpasses many pa
tented inventions of the day. It answers the
purpose of collar and hame, and is both in
one.
This being centennial year, many old relics
are coming to light. The age of some things
strikes one as incredible. Mr. W. H. Witcher,
of this place, has a claw-hammer which his
grandfather is said to have used in the days
when everything was young and people didn't
know as much as they do now. It is report
ed that John Ray worked over some old plows
one hundred years ago—no, that isn’t right!
They were one hundred years old. At any
rate, he worked over some old plows, and now
he is blowing about the centennial, and says
he intends having a centennial squall at his
house before the year is out, or else know the
reason why.
Our town was illuminated by the presence
of Prof. Simpkins and Mr. Telford, of Homer,
on Sunday last. They met many friends here
who were glad to see them. Both are sterl
ing temperance men. By-the-way, a Banks
county man has been mentioned as a suitable
man for Governor—lion. J. J. Turnbull.—
Could he give any assurance he would not
Turn-bull, after being elected, and smash
things generally ? Some men do, you know.

gotten together for the' diseases for which it is
recommended. I have been familiar with the
preparation both as a practitioner of medicine and
m domestic practice* and can honestly say that I
consider it a boon to suffering females, and can
but hope that every lady in our land, who may be
suffering in any way peculiar to their sex, nvay he
able to procure a bottle, and their sufferings m ! ty
not only be relieved, but they may be restored to
health and strength.
With my kindest regards*
