A Child Loses an Arm.
From Mr. I. E. Betts, who lives in the
Jfighborhood, we learn that a little son of
Frank Holiday's, got his arm crashed
B(i lacerated terribly on Friday of last week,
y having it caught some way in the belting
cotton gin or press, which was in opera
at the time. Mr. Betts expressed the
?inion that the loss of the arm would ensue.

Horse Thieves Again.
Karly in the morning, Thursday, 23d Inst.,
three gentlemen from Oglethorpe comity came
into Jefferson and informed our people that
about 7t or 8 o’clock, on the night previous,
a fine white horse, about 9 years old; shod
all round with new shoes; swelled heels;
with anew leather saddle and bridle, was
stolen from where he was hitched, at Mr.
Pope's place, twelve miles below Athens, on
the Lexington road, in Oglethorpe county.
The horse was the property of a clever young
gentleman, Air. J. J. Dillard, whose brother
had rode him over to Pope’s, on business,
and who remained to supper. This repast
over, young Dillard came out, found the
horse gone, went home some three miles dis
tant, when the gentlemen above mentioned
immediately began the pursuit, tracking the
horse through Athens and lip the Jefferson
road to Mr. E. M. Thompson’s place, about
three miles below town ; at this point the
road forks and all traces of the horse and
rogue were lost sight of.
Ihe suspicion naturally arises, that this
daring theft was, in all probability, perpetra
ted by someone of the bold desperadoes who
were operating in the same line, through this
section, last winter and spring. The point
to which the horse was tracked is not many
miles from the “ Busby den” in the large
and dense wood of that neighborhood. The
thief and horse may be down in there at this
writing, (*23d.) or they may be well on their
way over to the Newton and Jasper county
line, or they may have turned and gone down
into the “Simpson settlement*’ in Madison
county. Bill Busby is still at large, and it
is said one Simpson, of Jasper county, is
outlying on account of a proceeding against
him concerning a stolen mule. We hope all
—the public at large—will aid in catching
the thief and stolen property ; and to further
this end we invoke the aid of the “ press” in
ventilating this notice. The “cause” is one
in which all are interested.
N. B.—Since the above was put in type,
we learn that a man riding a horse answering
the description of the one stolen, was seen
going through Jefferson about day-light on
Thursday morning; was seen, afterwards, to
pass Mr. Al. Bennett’s, and later at Harmo
ny Grove. Pursuit was made; but just as
we go to press the pursuers return. Report
—on the wrong track.
The Iron Cage for the New Jail,
Drawn by eight mules on a six-wheeled ve
hicle, was the “centre*’ of attraction as it
passed through the streets on Monday last.
This structure is eight foot square and weighs
1)000 lbs. It was “got up” at the Athens
foundry, and as all his work does, reflects
credit on the “chief” of that enterprise, Capt.
R. Nickerson. The “cage” was iniroediatelv
placed in its “last resting place.” and the
work of putting up the walls of the new jail,
now goes bravely on under the superintend
ence of Mr. Clayton. When done, this build
ing will be quite an addition to the “orna
ments’* of the town.
While on this subject, it is with pleasure
we remark, that in a conversation with Mr.
Clayton, the other day, he expressed himself
highly pleased with what he had seen of our
section and people, and stated his desire to
become more acquainted and familiar with
the citizens of the county. And we feel no
hesitation in saying that should proper en
couragement be offered, it would enure to the
mutual advantage of all parties. Mr. C. is a
contractor and master builder of no small
reputation, and those who may contemplate
building or improving in any way, would, we
think, do well to confer with him.
A Good Example.
We arc told on good authority, that one of
our ministers having been invited to marry
a couple, was complimented in advance by
the groom, with a splendid kip-skin. When
we consider that the donor is a poor man. the
value of the leather being, perhaps, one per
cent, of the entire amount of property to
which he can la}’ claim, his conduct in this
respect is an exhibition of a largeness of
heart and honesty of purpose highly com
mendable. No woman need fear the conse
quences of trusting herself in the hands of
such a man. Among our population, there
is no class who do more gratuitous work than
the ministers of religion. Scarcely half their
congregations contribute anything to their
support. This is bad enough ; but when a
young man engages a preacher to accompa
ny him from one to ten miles and keeps him
until late in the night before the ceremonies
are over—bids him good-bye without saying
anything then or afterwards, about remune
ration, his conduct deserves the contempt
which it receives from all rightminded people.

To the Officers and Members of Oconee
Grange, No. 39i.
Worthy Brothers and Sisters :—Forget not
that your next regular meeting will he on
Saturday before the first. Sunday in Decem
ber. commencing at 10 o’clock, A. M. These
lines are penned to call your attention par
ticularly to the importance of that meeting,
and the necessity of your presence. On that
day will be the time for you to elect your of
ficers for another year. Deep interest should
characterize your elections, for the success of
your Grange, to a great degree, depend upon
the punctuality and faithfulness of your of
ficers. Although your offices are offices of
honor and trust, without any moneyed com
pensation for services, yet he who fails to do
his duty to the best of his ability, merits no
longer your confidence. See to it that }'our
most punctual and faithful members fill your
offices.
Besides the election of officers, other im
portant business calls for your presence and
attention. I would say to you, as to all mem
bers of this noble and worthy institution, fail
not to attend your meetings. He who for
sakes a worthy cause in the hour of trial, was
never a true friend to it. The hour of trial
lias certainly come to the Grange movement
in the South, from several causes; I will
name but a few : The depression of financial
matters. The want of unity among the agri
cultural class. Many went into it with no
good in view, except to make money ; they
did not receive their million as soon as initi
ated, consequently they have hack-slid a good
long ways, or else they have got a very un
graceful fall. Falter not, comrades, because
you have opposition to meet, but be encour
aged, for no good cause ever yet had a be
ginning without opposition. Brothers, live
up to the obligations and teachings you have
taken and received, and you will never have
cause to regret that yon are a Granger.
Fraternally, your brother,
Thomas S. Johnson,
Master Oconee Grange.

The Good Templars of Jackson County
Held their fourth quarterly meeting with the
Mulberry Lodge, No. 451, at Wood’s Camp-
Ground, November 11th, 1876.
The hour of ten having arrived, the meet
ing was called to order by Rev. W. B. Ruther
ford, C. W. C., who, after making pro tern, ap
pointments, opened with usual ceremonies of
Subordinate Lodges.
On motion, a committee on credentials was
appointed, who reported quite a number of
regularly elected delegates and alternates
from the eight Lodges now in working condi
tion in this.county. As the names of these
delegates are not essentially necessary to
these minutes, and there being between fifty
and sixty, they are omitted.
The minutes of previous quarter meeting
were read and adopted.
On motion, each Lodge in the county was
to contribute one dollar, or as much as they
desired, into the Treasurer’s hands, who was
to pay out one dollar for record book, and the
remainder to the committee for procuring a
banner.
The committee was appointed from Bethle
hem Lodge, No. 305, as follows: Bros. S.
G. A\ iley, K. P. Pirkle, W. B. Rutherford, and
Sisters Mrs. Julia Rutherford and Mrs. M. C.
Wiley.
After transacting other matters of minor
importance, the hour of twelve being on hand,
the meeting adjourned for refreshments.—
Right here seems to have been the most in-
teresting time of our meeting, judging from
the way all hands gathered around the table
well loaded with the good things intended for
the welfare of human beings. The lady mem
bers of Mulberry Lodge and women of this
community know how to prepare a good din
ner; nor are the brethren neglectful, because
they provided us with plenty of corn and fod
der for our horses.
The Lodge was again called to order, when
the following resolution was unanimously
adopted :
Resolved, That this County Lodge urge
Subordinate Lodges in the county to strictly
carry out their Constitution and By-Laws, and
report at once to the W. C. T. all violations
of Article 2d of our Constitution ; the visit
ing of dram-shops, and all other violations of
our obligation.
On motion, requested Secretaries of each
Lodge to furnish the editor of the Forest
News with the time and place of their meet
ings, that there may be a standing Directory
of the same.
The time of next regular meeting is the 3d
Saturday in February, 1877, and Union Lodge,
No. 450, is the place. This Lodge is on the
Danielsvillc road, five and a half miles from
Jefferson.
The Lodge then went into an election of
officers for the ensuing year, with the follow
ing result: Thos. S. Johnson, C. W. C.; 11.
C. Barnett, Counsellor; Miss Kittie Gober,
C. W. Y. TA NARUS.; Dr. W. S. Alexander, Chaplain ;
A. A. LeMaster, Secretary; W. G. Barnett.
Treasurer: G. D. Lay, Marshal; Miss Fan
nie Caldwell, Guard ; J. W. Griffeth, Sentinel.
Under the head of “Good of the Order,”
we had brief but very interesting reports from
Dry Pond, Union, Sallie Candler, Stonewall,
Mulberry, Bethlehem. Harmony Grove and
Kidd Lodges. These reports were very satis
factory and encouraging, and were by far the
most interesting part of our meeting. A
synopsis of these reports would be too tedious.
Suffice it to say that the temperance senti
ment in this county seems to be increasing.
We have many young men and women, train
ed by pious parents, who are determined not
to touch alcohol; and who desire that their
examples and influence assist in bringing
about a reform in the hearts of men concern
ing the vital principles of life.
Resolved, That the thanks of this County
Lodge are due and hereby tendered to the
Good Templars of Mulberry Lodge, and to
the citizens of this vicinity for their uniform
kindness and attention during our stay among
them.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Forest News.
On motion. Lodge adjourned in the usual
form, to meet at the time and place above
mentioned.

Capture of a Desperado.
The Gainesville Southron of the 21st inst.,
mentions the arrest of John P. Cruee, at the
house of his mother-in-law, seven miles from
the city, up and near the Chattahoochee riv
er. He was arrested by Dep. Sheriff Find
ley, his son JetF, and Jesse Davis. The ar
rest was made on Friday night last; the pri
soner brought, to Gainesville and put in the
dungeon until Saturday morning, when his
captors proceeded with hirn to Gwinnett
county, the scene of many of his exploits in
crime.
Cruce will be specially remembered as the
man who murdered the two negroes near Nor
cross, burning up the house and bodies to
cover the deed. He had committed robber
ies and other crimes in Gwinnett county pri
or to this. From there it is supposed he went
to Mississippi, and has been making clandes
tine visits to his wife several times since,
eluding the officers of the law until now. al
though there have been different rewards
amounting $ll,OO olfered by the State and
the people of Gwinnett county for hi 9 capture.
Cruce is a small, muscular man, about 35
years old, resolute, determined and wicked
looking.

It remains with the people of the Northern

Grant's successor shall be a civilian voted
for by an overwhelming majority of the Union
through a fair count of the ballots as deposited
in the ballot box. or whether General Grant’s
successor shall be a military ruler placed in
power by the force of bayonets and artillery
—whether the Republican form of government
shall be continued or, in the Centennial year
of Independence, be changed now and here,
without regard to the Constitution.

is seventeen and three quarter inches and
six inches across the sole. The negro’s foot,
according to measurement, is fourteen inches

weighs four hundred pounds and is not more
than twenty-six years of age. He has not
worn a pair of shoes for years, and this pair
