Remember the Democratic
Convention to-day, 15th !
Two Days’ Meeting,
We have been requested to give notice that
a two days’ meeting will commence at the
Methodist church, Jefferson, on Saturday be
fore the first Sunday in August. It is confi
dently hoped—and yea, may it not be expec
ted that the members of the church, officials
and all others, will give this meeting their
full support and countenance, and assist all
they can by their presence and example.
Good Templars’ Convention.
AA e are requested to announce that the
Good Templars of the 9th Congressional Dis
trict will meet in Convention atToccoa City,
on Tuesday, the 18th inst., at 10 o’clock, a.
no. Y.very Lodge should be represented ; the
Convention will remain in session one day.
Delegates will be returned free, if proper
arrangements can be made.
Dr. W. P. DeLaperriere.
This young gentleman is. we are glad to
learn, winning golden opinions in his practice
of the healing art. He has treated, very suc
cessfully, so we are informed, some remarka
ble and complicated cases, and bids fair to
make his mark among the foremost of his
profession, at no distant day.
The Hew Church Bell.
For the Prayer-meeting on last Wednesday
night, the new bell of the Baptist church rang
out in admirably clear tones. We congratu
late the congregation on this accession to
their house of worship, and further congratu
late them in having within their “ fold” such
an energetic and “ working” member as our
young friend, Mr. A. H. Brock, through
whose instrumentality, chiefly, we believe,
this desirable end was accomplished.
Cure for Bone Felon.
A lady of Jackson county, who has tried it
very successfully and satisfactorily, sends us
the following recipe, as a cure for bone felon ;
One tablespoonful whisky; lump of blue
stone size of a partridge egg ; lump of alum
same size; white of one egg. Beat all up
together ; divide in three parts, and apply as
a common poultice; keep on three hours,
then renew; three applications thought to be
sufficient.
Serious Accident.
We are informed that one day near the
close of last week, a Mr. Wade, living some
four or five miles above Harmony Grove, got
caught in some part of the machinery attach
ed to a thresher, and was severely hurt—
having one arm broken in two places, and
receiving other injuries. It was feared, at
first, he could not live; hut later advices are
more favorable, and he is, we are glad to say,
greatly improved and considered out of dan
ger.
J. B. Pendergrass and N. G.
Long, have returned from Louisville, Ky..
having “ graduated” in the Medcal College
of that city. Dr. P. will, we learn, locate in
Jefferson. Dr. L. we believe, is now “pros
pecting” for a location. To say that we wish
our young friends success in their highly
responsible calling, is but a feeble expression
of our desire for their welfare in every way.
RPJudge Pittman’s Court, together with
all and singular the various other legal tribu
nals from day to day, arc so much on the
perpetual motion order that it is next to im
possible to keep the “run” of things unless
we could employ a force of stenographers.
We’re a modest people—don’t like to boast
of our advantages ; but just now, for Courts
and fleas —Jefferson against the world !
Williamson has our thanks
for another week’s rations of those superb

of life around him, how can he remain a bach

l^p ß Our lively friend of the Gainesville

Attention is invited to the advertisement
of the Hardware firm of Hell & Cos.. Athens,
Ga. And after giving the advertisement the
proper attention and perusal necessary to an
imaginative insight to their large stock of
wares of all descriptions, whenever you visit
Athens, don’t fail to seek a personal realiza
tion of what you have seen in the advertising
columns of the Forest News. Though this
is anew firm, yet it is simply a “ new head
on old shoulders.” The major part of the
firm have been connected with the business
of this house for 10, these many years; and
though change after change has taken place,
still, the old establishment has gained in
popularity and favor with each succeeding
revolution.” We repeat, give them a call;
they keep nothing but the best in their line.

The “ Act” of 1875 Amending the Act Incor
porating the Town of Jefferson.
As Judge Rice’s ruling on this “ve±ed
question” has been a matter of considerable
interest and comment in certain quarters, of
late, below we insert in full the decision of
His Honor in regard to this subject:
At Chambers, June 27th, 1876.
In the case stated in the foregoing record,
the constitutionality of an Act passed by the
General Assembly “of this State on the 27th
February, 1875, entitled “An Act to amend
the Act incorporating the town of Jefferson,
in county of Jackson, and for other purposes,”
having been called in question in the County
Court, and the County Court holding that the
Act is unconstitutional, the question as to
the constitutionality of said Act has been, by
agreement of counsel, referred to me for my
opinion.
Paragraph 5, Section 4 of the third Article
of the Constitution of this State (new Code,
Sec. 5056,) declares, “ Nor shall any law or
ordinance pass which refers to more than one
subject matter , or contains matter different
from ivhut is exjjressed in the title thereof.
The title of the Act (the constitutionality
of which is questioned) is, “An Act to amend
the Act incorporating the town of Jefferson,
in the county of Jackson, and for other pur
poses.” We see that the amendment of the
Charter of the town of Jefferson, &c., is the
subject matter indicated by the title of the
Act. Now, if the subject matter of the Act
is different from what is expressed in the title,
then the Act, or so much of the Act as con
tains matter different from what is expressed
in the title, is unconstitutional.
The subject matter of the Ist and 2d Sec
tions of the Act is, that the selling, bartering,
exchanging, or otherwise disposing of spirit
uous or other intoxicating drinks of any kind
whatever, within the corporate limits of the
town of Jefferson, in the county of Jackson,
or within two miles of the Court House in
said town of Jefferson, is unlawful, and by
the 2d Section of the Act, it is declared to be
a misdemeanor, punishable by fine, or im
prisonnnmt, for any person to be guilty of
selling, Bartering, exchanging, or otherwise
disposing of spirituous or intoxicating drinks
within the limits mentioned in the first Sec
tion. In fact, the Ist and 2d Sections of this
Act, if constitutional, would create anew of
fence against the laws of this State, and
would subject persons guilty of the offence to
indictment and trial in the Superior Court,
&c., as in other cases of misdemeanor. In
short, the Act, if constitutional, would add
another Section to our penal Code. There is
nothing of this kind expressed or even indi
cated in the title of the Act. My opinion,
therefore, is that the Ist and 2d Sections of
the Act are unconstitutional. See 49th Ga.,
232, and all the reasoning of the Court in
that case. See lb. 239, 240 and 241. See
also 51st Ga., 571 and 573.
There is nothing in the title of the Act in
dicating the subject matter of the third Sec
tion of the Act, and that is, therefore, uncon
stitutional.
As to the fourth Section of the Act, I think
that it is constitutional. It is on the subject
expressed in the title of the Act, and it takes
from Mayor and Town Council the power to
grant license. In short, I think all the Act,
except the 4th Section, unconstitutional and
void. One portion of an Act may be consti
tutional and another portion unconstitutional.
49th Georgia, 233.
Geo. D. Rice, Judge S. C.
Auditor’s Court.
Capt. A. S. Erwin, of Athens, has been in
town for the last few days “ sitting” as Aud
itor on a case in which Mr. Dunnahoo is in
terested on one side and the Executors of the
estate of the late Wm. Griffeth, on the other.
As we go to press the case is being argued
by the counsel on the respective sides.
We notice Cols. Estes and Marler, of Gaines
ville, and Thurmond, of Athens, in attend
ance on this tribunal.

In our columns will be found the prospectus
of this unsurpassable and inimitable sheet.
Almost every paper we have opened for the
last week or two has been lavish in its
praise of the Nctcs, and we arc at a loss “just
where to take hold.” We simply add, if any
one wants Georgia news, Florida news, and

were shown by J. L. Johnson, Esq.,
the other day, a part of a newspaper printed
in 1812. There were advertisements from
Clarke and Jackson counties on the sheet
shown us, but we noticed nothing that would
give an insight as to where it was printed.
IdP’We have learned that information has
been received from Col. Thomas Hardeman,
Jr., who it was expected would address the
citizens of Jackson on the 14th, (Friday) that
he could not be here at the time. Of the
reasons, we know nothing.
Gainesville mail leaving Friday
afternoon, at 1 o’clock, our paper goes to
press a little earlier than formerly. Should
any “wry important ” veivs arrive by the
Athens mail, however, it will be our pleasure
to give an abstract thereof—notwithstanding.
RF’The “ heated term” is upon us. and on
all sides —at home and abroad—we hear noth
ing but “ hot, hotter, hottest!”
Tiie War News. —The telegrams leave lit
tie doubt that the Turks have been roughly
handled in the late fights with the Servians,
and quite as little doubt that Russia is going
to back the provinces in the war with the
Turks to the full. The talk about the neu
trality of the Northern Powers—at least so
far as she is concerned—is idle. Russia and
Austria, too, are going to underwrite this
revolution and take their chances for collect
ing the premium on insurance.
ISP"Mr. John H. Lambert, of Clarkesville,
a young man of excellent business qualifica
tions, when “at himself,” attempted to com
mit suicide one day last week, by cutting a
terrible gash in his neck—and would have
“ finished the job” had not a gentleman near
by caught his arm and prevented further use
of his knife —the weapon with which he made
the attempt on his life. Mr. L. has formerly
been clerking in Athens. This we learn from
the Georgian. Dissipation and general de
jection the cause.

Philosophy of Sunstroke.
Constantly do we hear of casualties from
“sunstroke”; therefore, the following is not
devoid of interest, coming as it does at this
extremely warm season;
The peculiar cerebral congestion known as
“ sunstroke” was so named from the popular
belief that it was the fesult of a sudden con
centration of the sun’s rays upon a focal point,
and the name survives the absurd misconcep
tion out of which it grew. We know that the
disease may attack persons who are not ex
posed to the sun’s rays at all, and that in fact
it frequently occurs at night, although iri the
greater number of cases the attack is felt in
the latter half of the day, partly because the
heat is greatest then, but more largely, per
haps, because the heat and labors of the
earlier part of the day have exhausted the
subject’s vitality, and produced in him condi
tions favorable to the development of the dis
ease. For a like reason persons who have
recently passed or are passing through ex
hausting ordeals, persons exhausted by watch
ing, by trouble, by anxiety, or by mental
strain of any kind, are peculiarly liable to
sunstroke. The disease is fatal in a little
more than half the cases, and persons who
recover are believed to he more subject than
before to attacks of the kind. They are less
able than before to endure either heat or ner
vous exhaustion, and extreme care of them
selves is always enjoined by physicians. It
is a peculiarity of the disease that partial re
covery does not necessarily promise complete
recovery or remove the prospect of speedy
death. In many cases the patient begins
what seems to be a recover}’, and the symp
toms continue to grow better for a time ; but
within a day or two there follows a serious
effusion within the cranial cavity which re
sults in death. Another danger to which pa
tients are subject is that of falling into pul
monary disease as a result of the congestion
of the lungs which usually accompanies the
cerebral congestion, and is the cause of the
stertorous breathing which commonly attends
sunstroke.
Patients who recover from the original
malady sometimes do so only to die of the
consequent pulmonary affection. Persons
are always liable to the disease in our cli
mate in the summer, and no pains should he
spared to guard against its attack. Over
exertion, especially of the brain, anxiety,
worry, and undue exposure to the sunlight
should he carefully shunned. The trouble
may be avoided by simply keeping cool, both
metaphorically and literally, and of the two
the metaphorical keeping cool is by no means
less important.— Cleveland Leader.
The State University.
Col. “11. 11. J.” one of the editors of the
Macon Telegraph <s• Messenger is in
on the “Board of Visitors” in attendance on
the Examination of the Senior Class, and as
usual, is giving his paper some interesting
items in regard to matters and things round
about the “ seat of learning.” From one of
his letters we feel constrained to make a
short extract, believing that it is a tribute
most worthily bestowed on a worthy man :
THE DISCIPLINE OF TIIE UNIVERSITY
has vastly improved, and we do not believe
that a more orderly, quiet, well behaved and
gentlemanly set of young men were ever
congregated together.
During the past year not the slightest dis
turbance has occurred between the students
and faculty, nor have there been any alter
cations with the citizens. The college build
ings and campus are as quiet at night as any
private gentleman’s residence and premises.
The old “college smile,” tin horn serenades,
the removal of gates and signs, and the
pranks played of yore upon their instructors
are now numbered with the things of the
past. This is undoubtedly due to the fact
that Chancellor Tueker relies
UPON TIIE HONOR OF THE YOUNG MEN,
and does not subject them to the humiliation
of a constant espionage. Treated thus, and
the word of a student being never called in
question, the appeal to their gentlemanly in
stincts and consciences is irresistible.
We are glad to chronicle that if any dif
ferences ever did exist between the worthy
Chancellor and some of the Hotspurs, who
had not become fully acquainted with his
genial nature and great heart, the
ENTENTE COKDIALE
has been fully restored, and he is now not
only popular but beloved and respected. The
whole Faculty also seem harmonious and in
tent upon the discharge of their duties, and
the students are making most satisfactory
progress in their studies, and have enjoyed
unexampled health.
Another Chance for a Fight.
ST. DOMINGO EMBROILED WITH UNC LE SAM.
New York, July B.—The steamer Tybce
arrived at St. Domingo in the latter part of
June from Cape llavtien. At the latter
place ex-Minister of War Villanueva, form

at St. Domingo, a party of soldiers, under
orders from the military governor of St. Do

sixty feet of the steamer, then went on board,
notwithstanding the United States Consul
placed the American flag across the gangwa}',
and in the name of the United States pro

Villanueva away. He was probably shot.

The Little Horn Massacre.
The news of the horrible Indian massacre,
in which Gen. Custer and his entire command
were slaughtered, has produced a profound
sensation and aroused a feeling of universal
indignation throughout tiie country. * * *
Not a few attribute the rashness that led to
the death of that gallant young officer to the
humiliation put upon him by the President
in resentment of his frank and manly testi
mony before the Belknap investigating com
mittee. By avowing himself opposed to the
corrupt thieves of the War Department, he
incurred the displeasure of the President,
and was written down an enemy to the ad
ministration. By way of punishment he was
superceded in a superior command, and per
emptorily ordered back to his post to the
command of his regiment. It is believed
that thus chagrined and mortified, he sought
by impetuous and reckless valor to repel the
insult he had received at Washington.— Sav.

delegates to the Convention. In these, Col

uear Greenville, Tennessee. Mrs. Jennie
Weems, on account of ill-treatment by her
husband, sought legal separation. On her
return from Court on horseback, she was way
laid by her monster of a husband and killed
by pistol shots through the head and heart.
The people went in search of the murderer,
threatening lynch law, if they found him.
When you reflect, says the Ballet in of Nor
wich, that at pic-nics a hundred years ago it
was the custom for the girls to stand up in a
row and let the men kiss them all good-bye,
all this enthusiasm about national progress
seems to be a grave mistake.
A jolly old doctor said that people who
were prompt in their payments always recov
ered in their sickness, as the}' were good
customers, and physicians could not afford
to lose them. A good hint, and a sensible
doctor.
Three old boots, a gaiter and a hoop skirt
in front of a house indicate that the family
has moved.
