The Convention, Again.
Mu. Editor :—Will there be a Conven
tion? This is a question that is asked
almost every day. Do the people desire a
Convention ? In a very short time, they
will decide this great and important question,
be think a majority of the voters are oppos
ed to the Convention, for several reasons,
first, they did not call a Convention. Who
did? The Legislature. Who authorized the
Legislature? Did the people ? No!
In the next place, they oppose the Conven
tion, not knowing the changes the Conven
tion will make in our Constitution ; fearing
they will make a more objectionable one than
we now have.
They oppose it, in the third place, because
they are unwilling to be taxed to defray the
expense of a Convention.
In the fourth place, they object to the Con
vention being called ; not willing to be taxed
the enormous amount to move our capital to
Milledgeville. These are some of the rea
lms why the people are opposed to the Con-
I vention.
To the voters who have not made up their
minds how they shall vote, just a few words
—black or white, rich or poor—all are inte-
I rested :—lf you do not wish to be taxed the
[ enormous amount of one hundred thousand
I dollars to defray the expense of holding a
Convention in which you had no voice in
falling, then cast your vote against it. If you
i do not wish to he taxed one hundred thou
sand dollars to move the capital back to Mil
ledgeville, then vote against it. If you wish
In avoid the risk of having our Constitution
made worse by the politicians of the State,
then vote for “No Convention.” If you wish
the same benefits of the Homestead law, as
thousands of others have derived from it,
then vote against a Convention. You are
told that the Convention wttt he composed of
the and wisest men in our State, and
our Constitution is a yery had one.
Earned by bad men ; and at the same time
you that men who helped to frame it, are
now candidates, and asking for your suffrage
to help change what they made ! Oh ! con
sistency ! thou art a jewel! You are told
that the Homestead is too large, (by some of
the candidates,) and if elected, they intend
to make it smaller. Let us see :—According
to the present Homestead law, a family that
numbers ten, is allowed one hundred dollars
m personalty, and two hundred in realty ;
perhaps enough to give each one tico years’
schooling. Just think what an enormous
amount? Still yon are told by men asking
.Vour suffrage, it is too large. Then we
nay, to ever}' voter, to vote for some good
man that is opposed to a Convention, first
knowing his sentiments in regard to the
changes or alteratons in the Constitution,
provided there is a Convention.

Our “Slate.”
To Mrs. M. N. Duke, Dr. Watson, and
others, we are under obligations for courte
sies in the vegetable line within the past
week or so.
On our way from Athens the other day,
while stopping at the “Gum Spring" to re
fresh “man and beast,” Mrs. J. R. Nichols
presented us with quite a bountiful “mess”
of Irish potatoes—the largest we have seen
this Spring.
Mr. C. C. Thompson, not forgetting that
printers, as a general thing, are public bene
ficiaries, made us happy Thursday by anoth
er good “ mess” of nice potatoes. Thanks.
The best is always reserved for the last,
and “President” Williamson proved that he
knew exactly how to strike the “key-note”
of a printer's “true inwardness” when he
presented the Forest News office with a large
and most delicious pound-cake—fit illustra
tion of AearCfell generosity and sympathy
for the “slaves” of the “galley.” The wri
ter was absent when this very acceptable
“birth-day” present was handed in, but most
heartily does he with all attached to the News
office, wish the generous donor many returns
of this memorable “epoch.” and may the
Forest hews “live to chronicle the success,
through a long and prosperous life, of our
! present respected “head officer."
Jewelry, Silver Plated Ware, &c.
Our enterprising young friend. F. P. Tal
madge, Athens, Ga., comes before our read
ers again in the announcement of his anxiety,
readiness and willingness to serve them in
anything and everything pertaining to the
above line of trade. We spent a few min
utes looking round through Mr. Talmadge's
stock the other day, and found it full and
complete in every particular. He makes a
specialty of fine articles suitable for wedding
gifts, presents. Ac. While in the way of
superb and excellent ti ino-keepers of alt
grades, his stock is unsurpassed and unsur
passable this side the larger commercial
cities. Go and see for yourself.
Apropos to above, wo find the following in
the Athens Georgian, of the 15th :
Married. —Mr. Frank Talmadge was mar
ried to Miss Ella Powell last Sunday even
ing. To the bride and groom we offer our
best wishes.
It was only on Saturday last our young
and handsome friend requested us to re-insert
his advertisement, which had been taken out
of The Forest Neivs about a month since.
The sequel is shown in what followed on
Sunday. Still, there are some people who
say it's no use to advertise!
“The Acanthus”
Is the title of a neat and very interesting
monthly paper we have received from Atlan
ta, edited by Miss Annie Maria Barnes, late
ly in charge of the “Children's Department”
of the Sunny South, and published at the low
jprice of 75 cts a year. From a hasty glance
over its columns, we perceive it is well filled
with appropriate matter, original and select
ed. We welcome this new literary visitor,
and hope it may have a most prosperous ca
reer. Our people, comparatively speaking,
read too little. Let them encourage home
talent and home enterprise, and prove that
they are not dead or callous in their appreci
ation of such intellects as that of the gifted
editress whose name appears at the head of
the “Acanthus.”
Cohen’s “Paris” Store, Athens.
Seldom have we witnessed a more brilliant
display of Dress Goods for ladies and gen
tlemen, than was seen on a recent visit to
the above Emporium of Fashion, in the old
“University" city. Among the large stock
of the various qualities and grades of goods
and fabrics, are to be found articles suited to
the taste as well as the “financial ability” of
all classes of society. Here the old and se
date can be supplied with anything they may
want, while the gay and festive belles and
beaus of the land will find an array of rich,
fashionable and beautiful Dress fabrics from
which the most fastidious can select, for
spring and summer wear.

County Lodge Good Templars of Jackson
County.
This body holds one of its quarterly con
vocations with Stonewall Lodge. Jefferson,
to-day. (Saturday.) To the members of the
order as well as the public in general, we
believe, these meetings are generally quite
interesting, and we hope to see the “visitors”
from other localities properly and courteously
entertained by the citizens of the town. For
an invitation to be present with onr temper
ance friends during a very pleasant ceremony
that usually takes place a little past M.,
and which is most respectfully accepted in
F. H. and C., we take this occasion to return
acknowledgements.
New Stocks.
Our merchants are ail supplied—or will be
soon—with their stocks of seasonable articles
for the Spring and Summer trade. Mr. F.
M. Bailey is now in market, purchasing his
supply of goods for the season : Mr. F. L.
Pendergrass, representing Hancock & Pen
dergrass, was absent on the same mission
last week, and we presume Messrs. Stanley
& Pinson will order or purchase in person,
for the benefit of their customers. Cheap for
cash! is, we believe, the motto of all now
a-days.
Jackson County Wheat,
Is bringing a good price in the Athens mar
ket. Mr. “Jim” Thurmond, of Santa Fee
dist., was delivering some last week, at ex
cellent figures —we have forgotten the exact
amount. “Straws show which way the wind
blows” —while there are twenty men now
who want to buy grain, not one wants to buy
cotton.

Soiree Musicale.
“Burn’s Silver Cornet Band,” of Athens,
propose a musical treat on Wednesday
evening next, the 23d inst. A personal ac
quaintance with several of the young men
composing this association, warrants us in
the assertion that the enterprise is worthv
the attention of any and all lovers of music.
In addition to the of “home talent” to
be brought into requisition on the occasion,
President Jones informed us the other day
that the services of a quartette club, from
Augusta, had been secured —the whole com
bination promising one of the rarest and
richest musical entertainment ever offered
to an Athenian audience. We hope many
friends from Jefferson may he present to give
“ Mitch” Burn's band a whole souled greeting.

In our paper, this week, will be found a
pretty good dose on the above subject, and
still we have on hand a communication from
our revered friend, ’Squire John I. Cheatham,
on the same topic. This letter, we propose
to lay over for next week—believing our
readers will find an ample supply of “food
for thought” in what appears to-day.
Blacksmith Shop Burned.
Mr. Geo. Fresnel!, a worthy mechanic of
this county, had the misfortune, so we are
told, of losing his shop and contents, one day
or night last week, by fire. The shop was
somewhere near Mr. S. S. Smith's. The ex
tent of loss we did not hear.
Forewarning.
Mr. Editor :—Since the boys in school
have introduced the game of sticking pins in
each other, we. the “Johns” of Martin Insti
tute (except John Faust.) beg to announce to
our fellow-students that we are no pin cush
ions, therefore we ask them to deposit their
pin3 either in cushions or in John Faust.

Can such things he when the blood is tem
perate ?
Well, Col., taking age and a general sedat
ive disposition into consideration, we own tip
and are constrained to plead “guilty,” to a
little intemperate exuberance of the “imagina

But now, brother, recollect, be honest, “ ac

under a bushel” of “dignity”—“ Don’t you

It is called Pond Fork Lodge, No. .
Rev. Frank Rutherford will deliver a tem

Farmers are boldly pushing ahead with
their crops. Old. general green is rallying to

Oglethorpe Echo.
Drs. Westmoreland and Alexander report
that every drop of water that a man drinks
that comes from the centre of Atlanta car
ries the seeds of disease to his system, and
no man can drink it steady for a year without
having a severe spell of sickness. The soil
in the centre of the city is saturated with
poisonous gasses, with foecal matter. This of
course gets into the wells and poisons them.
Atlanta is now thirty per cent, less health}’
than at the close of the war, caused by the
slow poison from these wells, and the wate r
from the works is too muddy for a horse to
drink. It can be filtered for $5,000 an Lshoid 1

ATTENTION!
BAXTER, BELL & CO.’S
TURK LIQUID PAINTS.
OR
HOUSE PAINTERS* COLORS.
We Beg to invite the special attention of Deal
ers and Consumers to these PA I NTS. They are
manufactured from the very Best and Choicest
Pigments, and mixed or thinned with only
STRICTJA PI RE Linseed Oil and Turpentine,
and they cannot be excelled in covering capacity,
durability, fitness and beauty of finish. Tht-v
will neither chalk. Hake, or peel olf. and work
with perfect freedom under the brush. They
weigh from 15 to 13 lbs. per gallon,- which, of it
self. POSITIVELY demonstrates their parity and
superiority.
The various compounds known in the market
as Chemical Paints, contain mily about 50 per
cent, of Paint; the balance is water, introduced
into the same by the use of an alkali, to combine
it. The last mentioned Paints, so-called, only
weigh from 9 to 10 lbs. per gallon, which wc think
clearly proves their lack of opacity or body.—-
When water is mixed with Paint, it not only de
stroys its body, nut, to a very great extent, its
adhesiveness, which all practical inen know is of
the highest importance to preserve, in order to
make a durable Paint.
Wc think, from the statement we have made,
that buyers cannot fail to AT ONCE perceive that
their interest will be best promoted by buying our
Liquid Paints (i. e. Pure Paints), in preference to
the so-called Paints referred to.

GIVEN AWAY
To all persons who have Chills and fail to be cur
ed. It is not often during these hard times, that
wo ever hear of anything being given away, but
in the present case we have an article that will
bear the closest sending and severest test in every
sense of the word, and feel determined to place it
before the public in such a manner that there
cannot be a ** doubting Thomas.”
To all who may be afflicted with any form of
Ague, or chills and Fever, wc make the proposi
tion
To all Persons
To cure you with one bottle of Day’s Ague. Tonic.
It never produces partial deafness, dimness of
vision, buzzing or roaring in the head, or any of
those unpleasant symptoms that follow the use of
Quinine, it does not contain arsenic, strychnine or
any other poison : it acts finely upon the liver
and bowels without the use of nauseating pills ;
it can be given to those whose stomachs reject
Quinine, and the cures are prompt, effectual and
permanent.
Procure from any Druggist or Merchant, one
bottle of Day’s Ague Tonic, use as directed, and
if it fails, return the empty bottle, and the money
will be refunded to all
Who have Chills.
This is surely a fair proposition, yet stranye to
say. none have been returned to u*. Druggists
and merchants say it gives more complete satis
faction, and sells more readily than any chill rem
edy they ever sold. * '
Sold by Druggists and Merchants generally, at
