—Excursion Song.
Ihe Pic Nic of the students, patrons and
friends of Martin Institute, on Friday of last
week, was one of those pleasing social epi
sodes to which it is hard to do justice in a
simple newspaper paragraph. Though there
was no “ set programme” of exercises, still
we do not recollect ever to have seen a more
interesting an_* happy throng than was
assembled in close proximity to McLester’s
Mill on the occasion referred to.
The morning opened beautiful and inviting,
and at an early hour it required no pro
phet to foretell that our lads and lasses—the
youth and beauty of Jefferson—were fully up
with the requirements of the day and its
anticipated pleasures. Nor was the inspira
tion of the occasion confined to these alone.
There were the grave and the gay. the old
and the y’oung —all assisting and encourag
ing, as it were, by their presence, in render
ing the event one of peculiar pleasure and
delight to those for whose especial benefit
the time had been set apart as a “ rural hol
iday.”
The amusements for the time being, consis
ted of fishing, boat-riding on the beautiful
pond, and visiting the many places and ob
jects of iuterest and curiosity for which this
pleasant retreat is so highly characterized—
interspersed, as a matter of course, with the
usual lovers' tete a tetes, for which the time
and surroundings afforded such ample oppor
tunity.
The feature of this most pleasing occasion,
however, was the superb dinner prepared and
so invitingly spread out to all present by
hands—the fairest of the fair. At about the
usual hour, the compliments of the large
crowd were extended in handsome style to
this part of the day T 's exercises, after which,
our young friends, the students, their amia
ble preceptors, and all present, sought recre
ation as best suited them, until “old Sol's”
declining rays admonished the happy assem
blage that the hour for “dispersal” was nigh
at hand.
Among the incidents of the day, we must
not fail to remark the presence of several
military friends from our “ sister city” of
Athens, whose handsome faces, tasty’ uni
forms and gentlemanly deportment rendered
them the “observed of all observers.”
Several of the ladies proved quite success
ful in the “ art piscatorial”; Mrs. Bettie
Thompson Randolph, we believe, standing
“ head.”
For the pleasure enjoyed by “the Forest
News office,” we again make acknowledg
ments. “ Vive la Institute !”

Explanatory.
Editor Forest News ;—ln your paper of
to-day, you say, “The point on which Judge
Pittman based his decision was, that while
the body of the Act was composed of two
subjects matter, the caption of the bill con
tained only one.”
By reference to section 5056 of the Code,
you will find the following words, “Nor shall
law or ordinance pass, which refers to more
than one subject matter.”
The decision I made was this—“ That the
Act of 1875 (referred to in your paper,) was
void, because it referred to more than one
subject matter in this, that it repealed the
14th section of the Act of 1872, (incorporat
ing the town of Jefferson,) and also created a
penal statute covering territory which was
and now is, outside of the corporate limits of
the Town of Jefferson. That said Act was
void because in conflict with sec. 5056 of the
Code, which i9 a part of the Constitution of
the State.” M. M. Pittman.

Flowery Branch, Hall Cos.
A gentleman—a native and former resi
dent of Jackson county’—writes us from the
above thriving little town, and gives the fol
lowing interesting items concerning the place :
Flowery Branch lies 9 miles west of the
city of Gainesville, on the A. and R. Air-Line
railroad ; it is the healthiest place in Geor
gia—being over 5 years old, and but one
death having occurred in town during that
time ; the population is about 300, all whites ;
it is a good business place, and has a good
section of country to support it; the Chatta
hoochee river flows gently along within three
miles r of the place, from which we obtain
some fine fish ; all the corn-buyers know this
is the place to get corn—it comes right here ;
we have a fine limestone spring, so pure that
the sick receive anew lease of life from its
use; there are in the place, 8 dry goods
stores, 2 saloons, 1 shoe-shop, 2 good physi
cians; an excellent school; 2 churches—l
Baptist and 1 Methodist. And now I do
think those sickly people who are looking out
for a place of health, would do well to come
here and procure a healthy home. Property
is very cheap ; so now is the time. Come !

and less cotton than usual. Wheat and fall
oats are looking well and promise an abun

MOUNTAIN CREEK CHURCH.
It was my pleasure last Sunday, to attend
this church and hear Rev. J. M. Davis, pas
tor, preach a special sermon to the young.
He used the very appropriate text found in
12th chapter of Ecclesiastes, the first seven
verses. I have heard Mr. Davis frequently
before, but think his sermon on this occasion,
the best I ever heard him deliver. The con
gregation was very large, orderly and atten
tive; indeed we rarely see such good order
and behaviour as characterized this large
crowd on Sunday. One other very noticable
fact was the large number of very pretty’ wo
men and stout, healthy looking young men.
I may say another thing to my bachelor or
widower friends, there are several fine look
ing and facinating widows who are regular
attendants at this place.
This popular church is located in th ? north
west portion of Jackson county, and is sur
rounded by’ a great many substantial citizens
among whom are Henry Whitmire, Samuel
Higgins, W. P. Wood, Terrell Murphy, Rev.
W. 11. Bridges, A. J. Bridges, William Bridges
and others.
At this church is a largely attended and
flourishing Sunday school together with a
singing every Sunday morning. The author
ities of the church have taken steps to build
a substantial plank fence around it, which
will add greatly T to the attraction of this pop
ular place of worship.

Dr. Mitchell who lives near Pond Fork
post office, lost a valuable family horse one
day last week, by a piece of carelessness on
the part of the plough-hand. The horse was
left hitched to the plow while the hand went
off some distance. He ran off with the plow
and broke a hind leg above the knee. The
doctor had him knocked in the head as lie
was perfectly worthless in that condition. Is
it worth while to advise plough-hands never
to leave any horse hitched to the plow ? It
matters not how gentle—how reliable the an
imal ; something might scare it, and cause a
run-a-way that would injure it, or do some
other damage. Always drop the traces or tie
the animal.

Boon to Suffering Females.
LaGrange, Ga.. March *29, 1870.
Brad[field Cos.. Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sirs:—
I take pleasure in stating that l have used for the
last twenty years the medicine you are putting
up, known as Dr. Brad field's Female REGULA
TOR, and consider it the best combination ever
gotten together for the diseases for which it is
recommended. I have been familiar with the
preparation both as a practitioner of medicine and
in 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, may be
able to procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only be relieved, but they may be restored to
health and strength.
With my* kindest regards,
I am, respectfully.
