it, by all means!
Drs. Hunt & Pendergrass have a card

Edf'We regret to hear of the death of an

of workmanship—of the kind.
ETPSome of our own boys as well as many

this issue the reader will notice, per
haps, the several allusions to the Hamburg
difficulty. AA'e make no apology on this score.
The articles are the product of different
minds, and the issue at stake one with which
all our people should acquaint themselves.
The “ solution” trill come sooner or later.
EdP’Calling at the shop of Mr. Warwick
AVilson, on the premises latterly occupied by
“Uncle Billy Thompson,” we noticed some
articles of Furniture—home made—that for
beauty of design and finish cannot he sur

patronage and encouragement of the public.

made in clasps, four of which go around the
waist. It will he difficult, however, to im
prove upon the old style of belt, which is
made in the shape of a coat sleeve and has
an arm inside of it. AA'e have observed,
however, that this kind usually requires more
than four clasps.
I3TWe saw a mosquito work about ten
minutes yesterday, trying to get his bill
through the skin of a man who owes us two
years’ subscription. How we laughed at
that demoralized little insect as, with a look
of disgust lie folded up his little bill, placed
it in his pocket and went for another victim.
— Ex.
our last issue, nothing has trans
pired to lessen the expectations of an abun

the circumstances are still more favorable
if anything. Rain we think, has been pretty
general, a few days of nice, cool weather,
with every indication that the crops will soon

grasshopper.
learn from Judge Pittman, that
since lie became County Judge lie has dis
posed of 40 cases on the Criminal docket.
Though these cases would be called “ minor”
in the Superior Court, yet it would occupy at
least half a day to dispose of each one. AA r e
are informed that it costs about S3OO per
day for court expenses in such cases. Thus
those who care to calculate, can do so, and
see whether the County Court “pays” or not.

wrestling match took place at Ford's
Opera House, Baltimore, yesterday, between
an Englishman and a Frenchman. The
Englishman was the victor.
Social Barbecue.
An exceedingly delightful aud enjoyable
“ social barbecue” was given, we learn, at
Day’s Spring, Chandler’s dist., on Saturday
last. There had been no particular pro
gramme laid out for the day’s exercises ; but
at an early hour, the neighbors, old and
young, lads and lasses, began to assemble at
the appointed ground, and as soon as a suffi
cient number had arrived, note and song
books were brought into requisition, and a
portion of the time, at least, was pleasantly
and appropriately employed in the beautiful
service of song. ’ AY hiie in addition, from
se\eral violins and a flute or two a “concord
of sweet sounds” served to make the time
and occasion very agreeable indeed to those
participating in the recreation and hilarity of
the day.
But while all present enjoyed themselves
to full satisfaction otherwise, Tiie Dinner
was The Crowning Feature of the occasion.
In the “ CW’-linarv department—of which
ML Lay was “ chief cook”—the meats
were most excellently manipulated; and in
the breads, cake, pickles, desert, and “ side
table” et ceteras generally, the fair dames and
damsels of the neighborhood excelled them
selves on this happy and long-to-be-remem
bered festival-day. Then, when the annun
ciation was made that all was ready and wait
ing. the good order and decorum observed
spoke volumes in behalf of the training and
good behavior of every class of the neighbor
hood, represented as it was by a concourse of
some 250 or 300 persons. At the table, the
ladies and children had preference. A sec
ond table was spread for the gentlemen ; and
lastly, after the whites, the colored people
present, by invitation, took their stations
around the festive board.
Me learn that nought occurred to mar, in
least, the pleasure of the daj r ’s proceedings;
and at a proper hour in the afternoon, the
happy throng began to disperse and seek the
retirement and quiet of home—each, no
doubt, with a conscience void of offence to
any one and hoping to he spared to witness
many similar scenes of social fellowship and
enjoyment.
Protracted Meetings.
Rev. Messrs. Oslin and Conaway, of the
M. E. Church, South, arc, wc learn, holding
protracted meetings on their respective cir
cuits ; the first named at “ Prospect,” on the
\A r atkinsville circuit, and the latter at “ Leba
non,” on Mulberry circuit. At this last men
tioned place, we hear the services have been
well attended and considerable “interest”
manifested. From “ Prospect,” we have
heard no particulars; hut judging h} r the
past, “brethren” Oslin and Trammell will no
doubt give a good account of their “steward
ship.”
And while on the subject of “ Protracted
Meetings,” it may not he out of place to men
tion that the annual “ August meeting” of
the Presbyterian congregation at Thyatira,
will commence on Friday befitre the 3d Sun
day in August; and further, that the annual
meeting at the “ Academy” will embrace the
second Saturday and Sunday of next month.
It is more than probable that the services at
both these places will be “protracted.”
AA'e learn also, that a meeting will com
mence at “Antioch” the last of the week,
which it is thought, will last several days.
On referring to our files of last year, we
notice that the Camp-meeting at “ AA'ood’s
camp-ground” embraces the 4th Sunday in
September—commencing Wednesday niglit
previous.
Arrest, Imprisonment and Escape of Ben
Busbin.
Mr. P. AA r . Pittman, County Court Bailiff,
informed us the other day, that he had just
returned from a trip to South Carolina, to
which State he had gone to “work up” the
arrest of the individual whose name appears
above. Mr. Pittman, in company with Mr.
Brooks, Bailiff of Newtown, armed with the
necessary documents from Gov. Smith, pro
ceeded to Columbia, S. C., interviewed Gov.
Chamberlain satisfactorily, and having, in
the meantime, “ spotted” his man, succcede 1
in having Bushin arrested without the least
trouble. He (Busbin) was found in Ander
son county, S. C., about eight miles beyond
the Savannah river, on the farm of a Doctor
Cook. Messrs. Pittman and Brooks brought
him to Danielsville. where he was placed in
jail —our jail not being safe, and the warrant
on which he was arrested being from Madi
son county, any waj'.
But after all this trouble, it seems the ends
of justice are destined to be thwarted. By
some means, so we have been informed—
Busbin, together with a man named Grimes
or Graham, made his escape from jail on
Sunday night last. There are also rumors
of a re-capture and imprisonment. For this
however, we cannot vouch.
Handsomely Caned.
AVhilc on a business visit to Athens, the
other day, we stepped m to see the “ old
pioneer’’ in the Jewelry line, AV. A. Tal
madge, College Avenue, when, without a
note of warning, we were unceremoniously
“ caned” b}' the gentleman aforesaid, who,
while declining all compensation therefor,
intimated that if disposed so to do, we could
inform our readers there were a “ few more
left of the same sort,” and in addition, Cen
tennial canes—natural wood in variety, viz :
Orange, Iron wood, Cinnamon, Furze, Abys
sinian, Thorn, Manilla, Malacca, A\T>llosin,
Ebony, &c. Also, mounted canes, with
Gold, Silver, Buffalo horn, Ivory—together
with a good assortment of loaded heads. Go
and see him, and buy cheap.

Some Snakes.
J. E. Randolph, Esq., together with seve
ral other gentlemen, was engaged a portion
of the present week, in surveying a tract of
land in Santafee, about which there is some
controversy. In their peregrinations ontlast
Thursday, the party came across a goodly
number of snakes—killing a coach-whip 8 ft.
long, and two rattlesnakes about 4 feet in
length; one having 8 rattles and a button,
the other 9 rattles with a button. That wor
thy sportsman, Col. Pike, it seems, was the
champion snake-killer—using his little pis
tol—with which he is quite an expert—in dis
patching their snakeships. Our gallant
friend, H. J. Randolph, had the skin of one
of the rattlesnakes stuffed and brought it
home with him. together with the head? On
a close examination of the mouth of this
deadly poisonous reptile, it was discovered
that he is provided with two fangs on either
side of the mouth, located in the upper jaw.
about |of an inch in length. Maj. M.P. C..
one of the party, and who, it is said, came
near setting his foot on one of the snakes, gave
to his companions a free exhibition of grand
“ground and lofty tumbling” that would
have been creditable to the palmy days of
•‘old John Robinson” and his celebrated
show. The Maj. says he takes no more “ rat
tlers” in his’n !
For the Forest News.
Our Public Roads.
Ed. Forest News :— Dear Sir: —There are
several subjects of public interest to which,
with your permission, I would like to call the
attention of your many readers—especially
those of this county—and the first that I will
mention is our public roads.
F.very citizen is interested in having good
roads, so that those who pass over them may
do so with as much case and comfort to them
selves and their stock as the nature of the
ground over which they pass will allow.—
That this may be done, it is not only neces
sary that the roads should he well worked,
but they should also he properly laid out.
And it is to that particular I wish to
direct the attention of our people in this
hastily written article. There are mail}' places
in our roads where the}- go over the very
steepest point of the hill, when, by turning a
little to the right or left, the grade would be
lessened one-half or more, and the road made
no longer. AA'here these changes can he con
veniently made, I do think we ought to make
them. This is a rough country at best, but
our roads might he greatly improved by plac
ing them on the most favorable ground. I
wish simply to bring this subject to the at
tention of our County Commissioners, and
Road Commissioners, and to the citizens gen
erally, in order that they may think about it,
and write about it, and talk about it, and be
certain not fail to act.
Perhaps I may in a future article have
something to say about our system of work
ing roads. J.
Flat Creek, Jackson co., Ga., July 22 d.
Mineral Springs.
Mr. Stafford:—l hand you a bottle of
water taken from one of a large number of
springs found on Prof. S. P. Orr’s place, 5
miles below Jefferson, on the River Road to
Athens. The simple test, tannin, shows a
strong impregnation of iron, (carbonate, as
indicated); and the salts of silver and lead
exhibit sulphur (in sulphuretted hydrogen) in
fair medicinal proportion.
I have not tried for other minerals which
are indicated, but I have no doubt but that
if these springs were accessible, they would
prove as valuable as any in the country. —
Jackson county is truly rich in medicinal wa
ters. Legg’s Springs, 3 miles North of Jef
ferson, are certainly very superior. On Mr.
Holder’s place, there was formerly a good
chalybeate spring ; also, just beyond Shock
ley’s bridge, on the Lawrenceville road, I saw
and tasted strong iron water, and from what
I have heard and seen, I should say that most
excellent springs are on and near the place
owned by our townsman, Mr. Brooks. This
place is on or near Pond Fork of the Middle
Oconee.
l’rof. Orr proposes to get a qualitative anal
ysis of the waters from his springs; then I
can tell you more about their value.
J. A\\ G.
Mr. Editor: —It is said that this is em
phatically an age of discovery. Ever}' day
brings to light some new conquest in the field
of invention. An important labor-saving ma
chine, appears here, an excellent health-pro
ducing remedy is found there. Here is re
vealed a previously hidden big bonanza, there
a little mine of wealth springs into view.—
Here the meandering path up the rugged hill
of science is made easy of ascent; there the
towering cliffs, the dizzy heights of fame are
rendered facile and charmingly familiar. The
fountain of continual youth is still anticipated
with as sanguine, and more reasonable hope,
as in days of yore.
Nowhere is the character of the age more
forciblj', more brilliantly illustrated than by
the discovery of a valuable mineral spring
near the head of AA'illiamson’s mill-pond, on
the land, perhaps, of F. AA'. M. Dowdy. The
virtues of this spring have been infallibly
tested. It is almost a panacea. Its waters
are found to afford a certain cure for rheuma
tism, neuralgia, dyspepsia, indigestion, grey
hairs, worms, lying and toe-itch.
It is reported that that public-spirited citi
zen, Uncle Mike AAMlliamson, contemplates
building a railroad, to intersect with the
Northeastern at some suitable point, for the
accommodation of visitors to this to-be-cele
brated spring. Vernal.
IJp’As to the Indian war in the west, it is
stated that Gen. Crook will make no aggress
ive movement until the Fifth Cavalry, which
leaves Fort Laramie on Monday next, reach
es it, about the oth of August, when if the
couriers whom he has dispatched to Gen.
Terry, advising him to join him, succeeds
in reaching that command, he will have made
a junction with Terry, and the next action
will prove a decisive one,

ED. KELLY, ONCE MORE I
Just as we go to press, we learn from an
undoubted source, that Ed. Kelly has been
convicted of horse-stealing, in Oconee county
Sup. Court, during this week. Sentence had
not been passed when our informants left
Athens.
Good Threshing.
Ei>. Forest News : —Speaking of threshing
wheat, I desire to place on record one day’s
work of Johnson. Pendergrass & McElhan
non's thresher. It is a Bill Arp Power—com
mon spike thresher, and fan run by hand.—
On July 3d, they traveled 8 miles, set down
the thresh, and knocked out, cleaned and
measured up three hundred and three bushels
of wheat and oats, and for want of a sufficient
number of hands, the thresh was stopped
while the fan was running. We believe that
this day’s work, all things considered, has
not been surpassed by any thresh in the
country. If any one thinks differently, let
them furnish facts to the News.
Spectator.
LipTn Congress, last week, the Committee
of Ways and Means completed the amenda
tory Internal Revenue bill, and will report it
to-morrow. There is no alteration in taxes.
The chief features are for the better enforce
ment of the present laws. The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue has charge of the real
estate of the United States, with power to
sell or lease with the approval of the Secre
tary of the Treasury. The special taxes are
modified. Where liquor is received in pay
ment of debt and sold in one parcel, no special
tax acmes. Individual cigar makers need
not register. The relanding of tobacco or
its products after shipment is punishable by
a fine not to exceed $5,000, with imprison
ment not exceeding three years. Manufac
turers of cigarettes are required to stamp par
cels containing from ten to one hundred
pounds, and cancel stamps prior to removal
tor consumption. Tobacco boxes may be
stamped in any durable legal manner.

It is estimated that at least 2,000 persons

death rates have everywhere increased to a
fearful degree.
Richmond, Ya., July 18.—J. P. Dickerson,
depot agent at Wychville. Ya., was killed to

Apropos of the spelling mania it may be
of interest to know that a lady of Providence,
R. I. has spelled ,650 words out of the word

bear that has been seen in that part of the

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
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 pavs the trilling expense of using it.

rpilK POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876,
X 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 18(50. is now lairlv opened. The
National Democratic Party will this year make
a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles 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 lirst time since the war the peo
ple of that Radical-ridden State will electa Dem
ocratic State government. In these campaigns
the people of the South are 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 SAVANNAH MORNING
NEWS, 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 hi
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of* the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
i J / 0T77 7ng News
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tele
grams. and by means of speeial correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1870.
