The Swainsboro Herald says: “Mr. Sol.
Williamson, of this county, killed a mammoth
eagle a few days ago. The eagle had killed
a large (young) calf, which was discovered
and poisoned. The eagle returned and par
took of the poisoned carcass and died. One
of the feet was sent to us, and measured eight
inches from point to point. The eagle mea
sured seven feet and eight inches from tip to
tip of the wings.”
The Franklin News, not to be outdone on
ornithological questions, offsets the above
eagle story with this al>out an owl: “ Mr.
Green Foster, living just across the river,
caught a large owl one day last week in a
trap. It measured six feet from tip to tip.
It caught a hen the night before it was caught
and carried it off in the field, and after eating
what it wanted it flew off and left the hen.
Mr. Foster found the hen next morning and
set a trap over her, and before night the owl
came back and was caught in the trap.”

TO OUR PATRONS.
With this issue, begins the third volume of
The Forest News. We have weathered,
through storm and sunshine, for two years,
during which time we, in common with most
of our readers, have truly felt the pressure of
hard times ; but now, we feel like congratu
lating the friends and patrons of the paper
and ourselves too, on the success of the en
terprise, thus far.
The News, so far from being a failure—as
was feared bj' some and predicted by others—
has grown and waxed strong in the affections
of our people and is rapidly becoming a fix
ture and necessity among the good citizens
of Jackson and many in adjacent counties.
The management of the paper purpose to
have it not only kept up to its present high
standard, both editorially and in point of
mechanical execution, but to outstrip the past
career with that of the future. To do this
we need and solicit the aid and co-opcration
of all the friends of the paper. Let every
one who is in arrears to the office bestir
themselves and pay up, and let all try to pro
cure other and good paying subscribers.—
Take the paper—get your neighbor to do so ;
pay for it—then read it and “talk up” your
county Journal, and furnish, whenever you
can, brief items of news, and thus help make
it a success. Benefit yourselves and your
county too, and you will be better and hap
pier in so doing.
In looking over and “purging” our sub
scription book, the names of several persons
have been dropped. There still remain a
number of others who have never paid one
cent for the paper, although they have enjoj'-
ed the benefit of our toil and our means for
eighteen months and, in several instances,
two years past. We cannot longer afford to
carry * dead-heads,’ therefore, in self-defence,
we shall be compelled to lop them ofT unless
they pay up. Accounts will be made out
and sent to those in arrears, as soon as pos
sible, and after a reasonable time has elaps
ed the paper will cease its visits, unless they
come forward and settle up with the business
Manager.
We hope no one will take offence ; indeed,
if they do, we cannot help it; we must take
care of ourselves. We design “running” a
strictly cash business as soon as possible,
in deed and in truth, and hope by Fall to be
able to do so—retaining most, if not all our
subscribers, and obtaining many new ones.
Our office expenses have to he met with the
“ready money ;” cash for material, for labor,
for house rent, and in fact everything needed
to run the paper, and we must, therefore,
i bring our business speedily to a cash basis.
Walk up, therefore, gentlemen, who owe. to
I the “ Captain’s office,” and “ pay that thou
owest” as soon as you can, and continue to
read one of the most entertaining and instruc
tive county newspapers in the land.
Respectfully, but urgently submitted.

Ex. Com. Jackson Cos. Pvb. Cos.
P. S.—We should regard ourselves un
grateful indeed, should we fail to express the
deep and lasting obligations under which wc
feci to those who have so promptly and cheer
fully sustained us—in deed and word—dur
ing the progress of our enterprise; and
henceforth our aim shall be to render the
News still more worthy their confidence and
support. Resp’y. &c.,

Bob White’s Spirit.
Says the Atlanta Independent: —Many about
Atlanta will remember Robert White, the son
of a widow lady who kept a boarding house.
Bob became very much dissipated in 1873-4,
and was drowned in the Tennessee River at
Chattanooga in 1874,everybody supposing he
committed suicide. We find the following
letter from a gentleman in Washington to a
friend in Chattanooga, in the Chattanooga
Commercial:
W AsmxoTOX, May 21, 1877.
Friend : l have made the acquaintance
of Mr Walter Forbes, a gentleman from Geor
gia, now residing in Texas, in the city of
Sherman. You may ask, what has this to do
with you ? You will know when I have fin
ished the following wonderful narration. You
remember that a young man, named White—
Bob White whose mother used to keep
boarding house in Chattanooga, but went
back to Atlanta to live, was drowned in the
Tennessee River in the summer of 1874. It
was generally supposed that he had commit
ted suicide in a drunken fit. This Bob White
and the Walter Forbes, with whom I have
become acquainted here, were intimate friends
until the latter went to Texas from Atlanta
in 1870. In 1874, Forbes, while traveling
for the Seneca Fall’s Fire Engine Company,
was in New York city some days. During
his stay, he called out of curiosity upon the
famous medium, Slade, who happened to be
at that time giving seances in the city. lie
gave Forbes an exhibition of slate writing,
the slate with pencil upon it being placed as
usual under the table. In a few minutes, the
slate was handed Forbes, with the following
message substantially :
Dear Walter—T am in the spirit world. I
was drowned in the Tennessee River at
Chattanooga. The people there think I com
mitted suicide, but I did not. I went in
swimming after I had been drinking hard,
took the cramp and could not save myself.
Tell mother. [Signed]
Bob White.
Forbes did not know, until that time, that
White had been drowned, and onty learned
it accidentally after that. I told him that
White had been drowned, sure enough. He
then said that lie had never written this mes
sage to White's mother. I now write it to
you for the double purpose ofcommunicating
what I consider one of the most remarkable
cases of spiritual revelation that I have ever
heard, and that you may, if you think fit,
communicate it to White’s mother at Atlanta,
for her comfort. Remember that Forbes had
not heard from or seen White in several years,
did not know that he was dead, that the re
velation was made in a distant city, through
a medium who had never seen or heard of
White.
The rainworm in Northern Mississippi on
Friday caused great damage.
The Election on Tuesday.
On our local page will be found the returns
of the election on the 12th, so far as relates
to the 33d Senatorial District. Other advices
have not, up to the time of going to press,
been received, except what is reported in the
Atlanta daily Constitution of Wednesday,
which, being made up on Tuesday night,
must, of necessity, be very scattering and
meagre. In the Atlanta District, the regu
larly nominated ticket was elected, though at
the city precinct the majority against the
Convention was thirteen —according to one
account—and twenty-two according to an
other. The Constitution of Wednesday also
reports over two thousand majority against
the Convention, so far as heard from when
that paper went to press. This fact is not,
however, significant, as the next day’s figures
may show a very decided difference the other
way. The ConstihUion seems to be disap
pointed at the result—as far as beard from—
in Middle Georgia, where, it was thought the
people were largely in favor of a Convention.
Events show otherwise, and now, there is
very little room for anything like a certain
calculation one way or the other. Friday’s
mail may, perchance, bring something more
definite, and if so, our readers will be duly
informed.
Turk and Montenegrin.
According to the Montenegrin account of
the fight between them and the Turks, the
latter were repulsed three times, with a loss
of 4000 killed ; but the Montenegrins fell back
to the second line of works. The Turks arc said
to be approaching by a third route from Sien
itza, trying to provision Nicsics. The Rus
sians are reported to have tried the crossing
at Nicopoli, but failed.
TIIE BEAUTIFUL BLUE DANUBE ROLLING
FLOODS FROM TIIE MOUNTAINS.
A fresh rise in the Danube, it is thought,
will postpone the advance on Constantinople.
This seems to be the only obstacle to a brief
existence of the war.
Turkey is becoming constantly more divid
ed and constantly weakened. An uprising
in Crete and other islands of the sea against
their Turkish masters daily expected.
New recruits and pontoon trains arc con
stantly arriving on the banks of the Danube,
and the Russians will cross the moment the
river sinks within its hanks. From present
indications, the war will then close very soon.
IN THE EAST,
Nothing of importance has been done since
the last report. Mukta Pasha claims to hold
his position in front of Krzcroum, but the
Russians by their extended line will proba
bly soon force him to fall back still further.
It is thought that the Turks with sufficient
force might cut the Russian communication
at this time, and gain great advantage,, but
the government seems to be too inefficient to
seize the opportunity.

The Montenegrins are reported to be fall
ing back from Duga pass before the Turks.
There is an advertisement in our col
umns to which we take much pleasure in re
fering our readers, because we believe in it
and can consistently and heartily recommend
it. We refer to Hall’s Hair Renewer. We
remember many cases in our midst of old and
middle aged people who formerly wore gray
hair, or whose locks were thin and faded, but
who now have presentable head pieces, and
with no little pride announce to their friends
that they havn’t a gary hair in their heads.
It is a pardonable pride, and the world would
be better off, if there was more of it, for when
the aged make themselves attractive to oth
ers they are more certain to win and retain
the esteem and respect to which a burthen of
well spent years entitle them. Try Hall’s
Hair Renewer if age or disease has thinned
or whitened your locks and you will thank us
for our advice.— Pan-Handle News, Wellsburg t

Jaws of Iron.
A NINETEEN-YEAR OLD BOY LIFTING SEVEN
HUNDRED TOUNDS WITH IIIS TEETH.
Granville, N. Y., J une 3. —Morris Wando
of this village, aged 19 years, and weighing
160 pounds, deserves the title of champion
“Man with the iron jaw.” A few days ago
a man weighing 200 pounds sat on a heavy
table in a saloon here. Wando stood on a
chair and seizing the table on one side with
his teeth, lifted it and the man two feet clear
of the floor, and held them there fifteen se
conds. He lifted a cask of whiskey weighing
400 pounds, astride of which were two men
whose weight was 300 pounds more, by Seiz*
ing it by the chime with his teeth, holding It
out straight. Three men pulling on a rope
which he held in his teeth, could not budge
Wando from his tracks. He has gone East
to seek an engagement with a circus.
Maryland Dog and Siieep Law. —The
first decision under the new law of Mar}dand
for dogs that will kill sheep, was made in the
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel count}' a few
weeks ago, in the appeal case of Owens vs.
Kelly. The action arose out of the alleged
killing of Kelley’s eight sheep by Ow en's dogs,
and was tried under the act of 1876, chapter
315, which makes the owner of the dog
chargeable for the sheep killed. The court
below awarded damages to the amount claim
ed (under SSO) to Kelly, and Owens appealed.
The verdict the second time was for Kelly,
$32. The new law is general except for four
counties.

From the Chronicle <£■ Constitutionalist,
daily, of Augusta. Thursday, we get these
figures: —
Majorities for Convention in 54
counties, .... 9,473
Majorities against Convention, 6,720
Total majority for Convention, 2,753
The vote throughout the State, will, no
doubt, be close.
Clarke Cos. —No convention. 470; Conven*
tion, 449. — Ath. Georgian , 14f/*.
The Convention.
Our special telegrams printed elsewhere,
give partial returns from twenty-six coun
ties. It is almost impossible to estimate the
result. We have strong hopes that the con
vention has been carried, but the vote in some
of the counties —counties which we had look
ed upon as convention strongholds—gives
us no basis for any enthusiastic calculations.
We are left to presume that the vote has not,
by any means, been a full one. The returns
from the twenty-six counties, alluded to, show
a vote of 3,113 for a convention, and 5,980
against it, with a large part of southern, south
western and north Georgia to be heard from.
In Atlanta, there were twenty-two majority
against the convention. But for the fact that
the radicals had organized and instructed the
negroes, the city would have cast an over
whelming vote in favor of a convention. With
few exceptions, the whites voted in favor of
a reconstruction of the organic law of Georgia,
and in this respect, whatever her rivals or
her enemies may say, her record is clear.—
At. Const., 13th.
The Convention candidates in Chatham

American Mammoth Rye,.
OR, DIAMOND WHEAT.
FOR FALL OR SPRING SOWING.
Anew variety, entirely distinct from the com
mon rye or any other grain ever introduced. It
was first found growing wild on the Humboldt
river, Nevada ; since which time it has been suc
cessfully cultivated wherever tried. It yields from
sixty to eighty bushels to the acre. Mr. A. J.
Dufur, United States Centennial Commissioner
from Oregon, asserts that he has known it to yield
eighty-seven and a half bushels to the acre. It
was awarded the highest and only premium at the
United States Centennial Exposition, and pro
nounced the finest and only grain of the kind on
exhibition.
It has been grown as a Fall and Spring grain
with equal success. Single grains measuring one
half inch in length, and the average close to that.

AGUE TONIC
CIVEN AWAY
To all persons who have Chills and fail to be cur-,
cd. It is not often during these hard times, that
we ever hear of anything being given away, but
in the present case we have an article that will
bear the closest scrutiny, 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, we 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 strange to
say, none have been returned to us. 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
one Dollar per bottle. sep 2 1876. ly
