Christmas Week
Brought along with it some most extraordi
nary inclement weather. A cold rain com
menced falling Saturday night and continued
throughout the day Sunday, culminating in
sleet and snow Sunday night. The earth
being very cold and frozen part of the time,
the thawing process has been slow—just,
enough to give a most bounteous supply of
mud. The consequence of all this has been,
to use a little boy’s phrase, •• we hain’t seen
much Christmas.”
Freak of a Lunatic.
Mr. J. T. Mc Eliiannon, confined, since the
last term of the Superior Court of Jackson
county, as a lunatic, made his escape from
flic old jail here, on Monday night last.—
Through some “ spiritual medium,” it is sup
posed, he had got hold of some tools with
which he loosened one of the grates in the
wall of the old building, and removing this
he had an aperture large enough to admit his
body through, and just like any other sensi
ble lunatic, out he went; saving the Deputy
Sheriff, who Was preparing to start with him
to the Asylum next morning, a very unpleas
ant ride to Milledgeville.
The Wintry Weather
Of the present and past few weeks induced
quite a disposition to “ mix quilts*’ among
the matrimonially inclined portion of the
people, in consequence of which Judge How
ard “ run out”.of licences and was compelled
to spend one of the holidays in writing the
legal “pjrtnits” ere we could assist him by
printing a lot. The Judge is now “ heeled,”
an 1 as he soon retires from office, his invita
lion is—-“ Come one ! Come all!”
Apologetic.
We rpjrret exceedingly that we were misin
formed as to a certain wedding published in
our issue of last week. Reference is made to
the reported marriage of Mr. Roberts and
Miss Long, which proved to be a hoax. This
was a pretty good “Christmas trick,” hut
when the gent who gave us the information
comes back with “ some more of the same
sort.” we ad vile him to bring his Bible along :
(we fear very much he hasn't got one though.)
Some “tall swearing” will have to be done if
he ever get’s another marriage in the Forest
News.
Out of the Weather.
We intimated last week, that the new jail
had been put to use ere it was cleverly finish
ed. The enterprising individual taking the
“initiatory” in the matter, proves to be a no
torious negro thief with so manj T names that
it makes little or no difference what any of
them are; the last we heard, however, was
Dennis Mitchell, and, it appears, his head
quarters was somewhere in Newtown Dist.
On Tuesday, lie was taken before Judge Pitt
man for a preliminary hearing, and after a
sufficient investigation, was required to give
bond for his appearacce at the next term of
the Superior Court. Failing to give the ne
cessary bail, he is now “ out of the wet,” and
has ample time to meditate on the uncertain
ty of human events—especially stealing well
ropes, watches, &c.
Bully for Jackson I
Out of debt and some five thousand dollars
in the treasury, is what we hear concerning
our noble old county. Now give us a re

In presenting the name of Jesse B. Lyle,
as a candidate for the office of Receiver of
Tax Returns, his friends would respectfully
remind the public that Mr. Lyle is a* native
of the county ; his relatives have, in’but few
instances, ever asked the suffrages of the
people for any office; and while he has a
family of some five or six children dependent
on him for support, he is rendered almost to
tally unable to work in the farm from being
afflicted with “Necrosis” and an enlargement
of one of his elbow joints, and is every way
worthy the support and sympathy of the pub

rity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud in
the administration of public affairs. It will con
tend for the government of the people by the peo
ple and for the poople. as opposed to government
by frauds in the ballot box and in the counting of
votes, enforced by millitary violence. It will
endeavor to supply its renders— a body now not
lar from a million ofsouls—-w ith the niostcareful,
complete, and trustworthy accounts of current
events, and will employ for this purpose a numer
ous and carefully selected staff of reporters and
correspondents. Its reports from .Washington,
especially, will he full, accurate, and fearless ; and
it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy
the hatred of those who thrive by plundering the
Treasury or by usurping what the law does not
give them, while it will endeavor to merit the con
fidence of the public by defending the rights of tho
people against the encroachments of unjustified
power.
