Something Extra.
To Mrs. J. B. Silman we are indebted for
nice lot of sweet potatoes—grown last j'ear
—many of which look and taste almost as
fresh and palatable as when in their “prime.”
This shows how much better it is to take a
little trouble and pains and have something
“ at home,” than it is to sit down and grum
ble and fret over “hard times.”
Winter Pastures.
It is true, we are no “ great shakes” as an
agriculturist, but our firm convictions arc,
that next to good grain and root crops—corn,
wheat, potatoes, &c.—there is nothing more
important to the planter or farmer than win
ter pastures for his stock. Under our “farm”
head this week, will be found an interesting
article on this subject, and the attention of
our readers is called thereto.

IqFThe Toccoa City Herald warns the

Whitmire and McKinney.
Wc have been permitted to read a letter
from W. A. B. McKinney, who, it will be re
membered, was sent to the chain gang from
this county, for breaking into the store of
Mr. J. S. Messer. The letter is dated Au
gusta, July 9th, and states that Anderson
Whitmire, sentenced at the same time and
for the same offence with McKinney, was
down sick, very low, with fever—and not ex
pected to live. The gentleman to whom the
letter was addressed requested this publica
tion made in order that Whitmire’s friends
and relatives might know something of his
condition.
Dry Weather—Crops-Rain.
In addition to the extremely hot weather
of some time past, serious fears began to be
entertained as to a drought—the earth hav
ing become hard and dry, and vegetation
considerably parched. On Sunday afternoon
last, however, we were visited with a good
little shower; on Monday a still better one,
and the indications have been favorable to
“ general seasons” in all the regions round
about. Crops of all kinds, we are informed,
are in splendid condition, and with continu
ed “ seasons” the yield, in every department,
will be bountiful indeed. People should now
turn their attention to a large turnip crop.
Scarcely anything pays better—for man or
beast—and an “ early stand” should be the
motto of every one—no matter how small the
“ patch.”
Good Shooting.
Ed. Forest News —Dear sir; I send you a
wing from a Hawk killed by my son, J. Alon
zo N., with a Spencer rifle, 275 y’ds—meas
ured. I also send j’ou one of the claws for
the “ fighting editor” of the News. The wing
is for the “ devil” to use in “ fanning out”
the loafers from about your office.
Respectfully. J. R. Niiciiols.
Gum Spring, July 17th, 1876.
All of which, through the courtesy of Mr.
Hall, the Athens and Jefferson mail carrier,
were received in “ good order.” Mr. Alonzo
N. should at once tender his services to
“avenge the death of Custer.” As to the
other accompanj'ing “ compliments and con
diments,” we are gratified to inform Mr. N.
that the “ glide" housewife says we now have
anew “ lease of life” and can bid defiance to
“ grim-visaged” starvation for at least one
week longer. Thanks; and may the remain
der of life with you and yours be as tranquil
and quiet as the zephyr-like waters that
ripple and flow so beautifully from the spring
under your own “old gum tree?”

Withdrawal of Col. Hardeman.
True to the noble instincts of his nature—
rather than have anything like a “wild hunt”
for the Gubernatorial chair, Col. Tom Harde
man, Jr., withdraws his name from the can
vass. And we cannot believe we are mistak
en, when we say that from a hundred thou
sand or more of the true sons of Georgia—
when they read his manly letterof withdraw
al—will go up the hearty ejaculation, “We’ll
remember you !” The Macon Telegraph #
Messenger, his home organ, thus beautifully
and appropriately sets forth the above idea :
The magnanimous retirement of our worthy
townsman from the gubernatorial contest,
when he saw who was the choice of a majority
of the people, and to avoid divisions among
the Democracy, will make him probably the
most popular man in Georgia. No one had
a better right to stand his ground and claim
every chance which a divided convention and
the devotion of personal friends might bring
about, for none of his competitors could show
a fairer record or more signal services to
the commonwealth. But he has set the com
mendable example of abjuring private ambi
tion for the sake of Democratic unity, on the
eve of the most important general election
ever held in the country. And the people
will not fail to remember him for it whenever
the opportunity' is presented.
Georgia Crops.
The June report of Dr. Thomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture for Georgia,
shows the following facts : Corn is three per
cent, above an average ; corn on bottomlands
is injured by' bud-worms and overflows ; cot
ton is about the average ; rice three per cent,
above; sugar cane seven above; sorghum
above. The peach crop is almost a total fail
ure ; apples about three-fourths of a crop;
pears half a crop. AVheat yield is 21 per
cent, and quality' 18 per cent, below an av
erage ; oats have y ielded 33 per cent, better
than spring sown and arc 23 per cent, better
in quality. The seasons have been favorable
in eighty-three counties. There has been
too much rain in some sections. The mean
temperature for June at Atlanta was 76 de
grees, at Brunswick 82 degrees.

Gen. Marion in writing the disbanding or
der to his brigade, after which he presented
it, together with the stand and case, to Mr.
Burch’s grandfather, Edward Burch, as a re
ward for his bravery in assisting Sergeant
Jasper to rescue Captain Jones and wife
from the British at the historic spring near
Savannah, Ga. The pen is made of brass
and on the same order as the old-fashioned
goose quill pen. The case contains in addi
tion to the ink-stand and pen, a pen knife
and a piece of loaded or magnetized steel.—

For the Forest News.
Polly Ticks—Again.
Mr. Editor. —Since I wrote to you, oppor
tunity Ims again been afforded me to listen
to the savings of that worthy leader, “Polly
Ticks."’ lie said :—“But, potent as are the
grangers—much as they have and can ame
liorate the condition of the people—it is
greatly to be feared that they, by abandoning
the legitimate objects of their association and
intermeddling in public affairs, will defeat a
greater good, than they seek to accomplish,
by insuring the failure of the Democratic
party of the State in the coming gubernato
rial election. They are trying—moving
heaven and earth—to elevate their head-cen
tre, Gen. Colquitt, to the executive chair of
the State. To this end they have stocked
county conventions —hoping thereby to have
him nominated by the State convention. I
will not here gainsay Gen. Colquitt’s qualifi
cation in all respects for the office. But his
advocates ought to remember that whenever
a secret organization attempts to control the
polities of a country, it deserves and is sure
to meet disastrous failure. The very fact
that Colquitt would be regarded as the can
didate of the granger clique would turn over
the State to the tender mercies of four other
years of Radical misrule, like unto Bullock's.
Forbid it. Heaven !"'

Liability of a State Officer for Obeying
Confederate Orders.
The United States Supreme Court has
just decided in reference to the liability of a
State officer for obeying Confederate author
ity during the war, that it was not a Federal
question, and the case was dismissed. The
defendant had lost money belonging to the
State of Tennessee, and the court held that
a trustee cannot be held responsible to his
cestui qne trust for the loss of a trust fund,
jif the loss lifis not been occasioned by his
own laches or bad faith, and that the deliv
ery of the trust fund in this case by the de
fendant into the hands of the Confederate
authority under an order which he glared not
1 isobey excused him from liability to the
plaintiff.
It is probably safe to say that the cam
paign against the Sioux is pretty nearly over
for the summer. It will take time to get our
troops in condition for new offensive move
ments, and tho’ Sitting Bull has undoubtedly
suffered severe losses, yet he has victory to
cheer him on and invite new allies, while our
forces are more or less demoralized by defeat.
The campaign is likely to last through the
winter and into the next summer if not longer.

Butter in 20 Minutes.
LINCOLN BUTTER POWDER is an entirely
| harmless article made from a celebrated English
recipe, and now in daily use by many of the most
j noted farmers in the butter counties around Phila
| delphia.
In hot weather this Powder makes butter much
firmer and sweeter than it usually is, and keeps it
from turning rancid. It also removes the strong
flavor of turnips, garlic, weeds, cornstalks, cotton
seed, etc.; and the increased yield of butter much
more than pays the trifling expense of using it,
3o cents per package.

SIDDALL’S
MAGNETIC SOAP.
The Cheapest Soap that ran be Used for the
follotcing reasons:
Ist.—One bar will go as far as two of any other.
2d.—Only half the usual rubbing being required,
there is a saving of more than the entire cost
of the Soap in labor alone.
3d.—The clothes are made SWEET, CLEAN and
WHITE without Boiling or Scalding,
thus all injury to them is avoided. There
is a saving in fuel and hard work, and the
washing is done in about half the usual time.
It is also guaranteed under a penalty of fifty
dollars not to injure the clothes or hands, and as
one trial will enable any person to ascertain the
truth of these statements, it would never pay the
proprietor to engage in an extensive system of ad
vertising and claim such decided merit for his
Soap unless he knew from positive experience that
it would prove to be in every respect what is j
claimed for it.
This is also a superior Soap for Toilet and Shar
ing purposes.

r IUIK POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1870,
JL which includes National, State and county
elections, and which will undoubtedly be the most
active and hotly contested of any since the mem
orable canvass of 1800. is now fairly opened. The
National Democratic Party will this year make
a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
manciples which are vital to the prosperity of the
Republic and essential to the well-being of the
people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the peo
ple in Georgia and Florida will elect new State
governments. In Florida the campaign promises
to be unusuady vigorous, and there is a proba
bility that for the first time since the war the peo
ple of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Dem
ocratic State government. In these campaigns
the people of the South rfre deeply interested; and
every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of
his country and his section at heart, should ac
quaint himself with every detail of the great work
of redemption and reform that is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the SA VANNA 11 MORNING
AKIVS, an independent Democratic newspaper,
of pronounced opinions and fearless in their ex
pression ; a paper that is recognized everywhere
as the best daily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department of
Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and raev.
The ample resources of* the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
.Mm 'ning Neics
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tele
grams, and by menus of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1870.
