COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.

Our Crop Prospects.
Thus far. this year. Georgia has been bless
ed with extremely propitious seasons, and, in
stead of the grumbling and croaking to which
farmers usually give vent, we hear nothing
but words of hope and cheer. The yield of
the wheat crop will be the largest ever har
vested in the state either before or since the
war. and the clover and grass crops are cor
respondingly large. We have reports, also,
from nearly every portion of Georgia to the
effect that the yield of fruit of all kinds will
be enormous. It would seem, therefore that
at last the energy and industry of our agri
culturists, under the benignant smiles of Prov
idence, are about to drive poverty from the
land and inaugurate an era of prosperity,
peace and plenty.— Const .
The above, clipped from the Atlanta Con
stitution of the 20th, is truly encouraging.—
As regards our own immediate section, from
all that can be learned, never was the pros
pect better for a bountiful reward to the til
ler of the soil, than is at present indicated.
IdPThe Board of Education, Trustees,

We noticed several young ladies in attend

commendable, and proves that our fair coun
trywomen are nothing daunted by the change
in the “situation’’ brought about through
“ relentless war.’’ And again, it shows that
though some of the young men arc a little
tardy in their “ conjugal alliances,” the ladies
are not backward in “ toting their own skil
lets.”

Who Will be the First,
To make a movement to secure the attend
ance of Burns’ Silver Cornet Band, during
the Commencement Exercises of the “Insti
tute.” The writer has every reason to believe
that an arrangement can be effected through
which this end could be attained, and >hat
too, at a comparatively small outlay from all
immediately concerned, while a good deal of
outside assistance could be easily obtained.
To be a little more explicit, it is believed
the Band could be induced to visit Jefferson,
if the members could do so free of expense
to themselves. Now, how many of our citi
zens will agree to entertain or pay for the
entertainment of one man each, during the
week, or the time necessary to the stay of
the organization. It is not known how many
young men compose the Band—hardly over
ten—we suppose ; and this number, wC think,
could be taken care of very well by the Citi
zens of the town. Who'll move first in the

The Sickly Season,
Or at least that season when people, espe
cially younger ones, are more apt to be sick
than usual, is upon us, or nearly so. There
fore, it is hoped the writer may not be con
sidered officious in remarking that the danger
is often enhanced by not calling in a physi
cian at the proper time. It is not meant
that every time a child stumps it’s toe the
doctor should be sent for, but, we do mean
to say, that many a child—and grown per
son too—has cither sacrificed it’s life or gone
through weeks of untold suffering, simply
because the proper remedies were not admin
istered at the right and opportune time.
Road Work, &c.
The following paragraphs, clipped from one
of our most welcome Georgia “exchanges’’
will not be without interest, just at the pre
sent time ;
The following is the law as to the duty of Road
Commissioners :
1. To appoint overseers within fifteen days af
ter their own appointment.
2. To apportion the roads and hands, and fur
nish a list of roads and hands to the overseers.
3. In twenty days after the road working, to
try all defaulters at a court to be held for that
purpose and issue executions against the con
victed.
4. To keep a book in which to enter the names
of the hands, roads, defaulters, persons fined, &c.
5. To inspect the roads, bridges and ferries,
and see that roads are posted and direction boards
put up where necestary.
G. Te exercise general supervision over their
overseers.
7. A road commissioner failing to do his duty
is subject to a fine of from fifty to two hundred
dellars.
SUBJECT TO DUTY.
1. All male persons white and black between
the ages of sixteen and fifty, except ministers of
the gospel and persons who have lost one leg or
one arm, are subject to road duty.
2. All road hands may be required to work
fifteen days in the year, but not over five days at
one time.
3. Persons subject to duty failing to work the
roads, after proper notice, are subject to fine of
from one to three dollars per day, or imprisonment

Death of a Child.
The numerous friends of Dr. W. A. Wat
son, of Jefferson, will learn, with regret, of
the death of his youngest child—and only
son—on Friday evening of last week. The
little innocent was only about a year old, and
died suddenly from a severe attack of cholera
infantum. The burial took place Saturday
afternoon—the services being conducted by
Rev. Mr. Haygood, of the Baptist church.
Geo. P. Rowell & Cos. are
called “monarchs of the advertising busi
ness.” They have done a great deal toward
systematising the advertising of large busi
ness houses, but there is still a great deal of
room for improvement, in and about this
matter. For instance, less money should
find its way into the pockets of the agents
and more into the buckskin purses of country
publishers. — Cincinnati Trad# List.

last, of the very serious illness of Mrs. Lou
Shockley 7 , wife of Mr. Tom Shockley, living
some five or six miles west of Jefferson. Her
disease, as we understood, was thought to be

information was received of the death of Mrs.
Shockley at noon, previous. By this dispen
sation a husband is left disconsolate, while
four little children have to buffet life’s storms
without the guidance and protection of a
mother. Who can withhold sympathy ?
Pond Fork Notes.
Mr. Editor :—We noticed in your last
week’s issue, that someone had written a
communication purporting to be from Pond
Fork, but the name accompanying the com
munication could not be interpreted. We
will say that we have an idea who the chap
is. and we don’t believe he ever intended his
name should be made out.
The two Lodges in this immediate section,
Pond Fork and Sallie Candler, I. O. G. TANARUS.,
are in a more flourishing condition than they
ever have been before.
We learn from all quarters that the Bees
have worked better this season than for many
years. There has been more honey taken
from the gums than usual.
Since the rain, everything looks well.—
Corn and cotton is growing in a hurry, but
look out for the crab-grass, it’s spreading
itself.
Our farmers are busy cutting wheat.
The June-bugs have made their appearance.
Our highly appreciated young friend, Mr.
John Long, of Jackson, was married to a
Miss Davis, of Hall county, last Sunday.—
We wish them a long, happy and prosperous
life.
The never-failing blackberry crop is larger
than usual.
Some of our farmers have commenced
laying by.
Sarah Addington, the colored woman that
was so horribly burned, a short time since,
on the plantation of Mr. G. S. Duke, died on
the 11th inst., from the burn. She said sev
eral day’s previous to her death, that she was
going to die, and did not want her friends to
think she was going to rest, for she was
hound for a burning hell.
Ella Brook*, a little daughter of our es
teemed friend and fellow-citizen. Mr. Thomas
C. Brooks, has completed a quilt of one thou
sand -pieces. This little girl is only 7 five
years old. We think that is hard to get
ahead of.
We suppose old Uncle Jake Lookout is
dead, we never hear anything of him. He
must have killed himself studying in “do
spellin’ book,” but if he is not dead, we think
the readers of the Forest News would be
glad to hear from him, especially 7 in this
section. . w. & n.

severe defeat suffered by the Turks at Kars.
Russia is not satisfied with the position as
sumed by England, and the signs are, that
she means “business” in the future. A\ r hile
this is so, opinions are freely expressed as to

Stephen B. Erinkley, the Newnan Wife-
Murderer,
At several different times the name of the
above mentioned “ unfortunate” has been
referred to in these columns, in connection
with tho crime for which he paid the “ last
penalty” on Friday, the loth inst. Before
hanging, he said lie had no hope of a here
after, that he had no fear of death, expressed
great contrition, and urged the authorities to
hasten the execution, Ilis hair had turned
snowy white during his long imprisonment,
lie died without a struggle.
From the Atlanta Constitution we get the
following facts :
On the 13th of May, 1874, a ragged and
tired pedestrian entered the thriving town of
Newnan.
His manner was very strange—so distrait
that it was remarked upon by the citizens.
He went into a mixed store during the after
noon and purchased a large and strong pock
et knife, for which he paid fifty cents. After
he had made this fatal purchase lie walked
towards the back of the store and asked for
a piece of paper, stating that he desired to
write a note. He sat down and scribbled
upon the paper for some time, but did not
appear to write anything that was useful or
satisfactory.
After which lie went out of the store, and
in the deepening evening was lost sight of.
No one knows where the poor wretch spent
that night. lie visited no house in the city,
and probably remained out of doors.
The next -day lie reappeard. Ilis manner
was as strange as on the day before. At last
he entered the house of a Mrs. Brinkley, who
kept a millinery shop, and who was a lady
very highly esteemed. In a moment after
he entered, the most terrific screams were
heard, and the people rushed in. They were
horrified to find the poor woman lying upon
the floor literally cut into slices, and dying.
In her chest there were several frightful gash
es, and her whole body was mutilated in the
most sickening manner.
The man, who had been before recognized
as a former husband of Mrs. Brinkley’s, from
whom she had been about two months freed
by divorce, was standing near her in a state
of terrible excitement. As soon as the crowd
entered he turned his knife upon himself and
attempted apparently to kill himself. lie
succeeded in making some trifling wounds
before his knife was taken from him. lie
then succeeded in hiding the small blade of
the knife in his pocket, saying that if the mob.
then gathering and threatening, failed to take
his life, that he would take it himself. Tlie
knife blade was taken from him and he was
locked up. And then began the most re
markable trial that ever occupied the courts
of Georgia.
Before going into this we may give Brink
ley’s history. He married in 1864, a lady,
who was quite pretty, and about ten years
younger than himself. They lived happily
for some time. At length Brinkley began to
drink and to show an ugly temper, being
instigated thereto, he alleges, by jealousy.
He charged that his wife was unfaithful to
him. Ilis passion became so brutal that he
is said to have frequently beaten his wife and
so maltreated her that she was often forced
to call in the police to prevent his killing
her.
At length he was arrested at her instance
in Atlanta, for beating her. and was locked
up. She agreed to have him released if he
would agree to leave her and her children.
This he promised to do, and did so. going to
Itika, Miss. AVhen he had fairly settled there,
he wrote to her. and by renewed protestations
of induced her to come to him. They
lived together for some time in luka, during
which time nothing was heard of any trouble
between them.
At length they came to Newnar*. There
the old trouble is renewed, and Brinkley fre
quently attacked his wife in the most brutal
manner. At length he quit living at her
house. She in the meantime has opened a
millinery shop, with which she supports him
and her children. One day he goes to the
house for the purpose, he says, of seeing his
children. While in the house he becomes
embroiled with his wife's step-mother and
they have a fight in which it appears that he
is badly whipped. At length Mrs. Brinkly
begins proceedings for a divorce and finally
obtains one. Her former husband then leaves
the town, no one knowing where he goes. He
spends about six weeks loafing about the
country, mostly on foot, and then returns
one morning as we have described, and wan
tonly kills his wife.
The long and stubborn defence that ensued
is known to every one.
Strong efforts were made to induce Gov.
Colquitt to interfere in behalf of Brinkley,
and commute his sentence, on the plea of in
sanity ; but the Governor proved equal to the
emergency, and refused to change a verdict
which had been the same on three or four dif
ferent trials.

Hair Vigor ?
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color*
original color , ivith the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re
store the hair where the follicles arer
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it wilt
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be foftnd so desir
able. Containing neither oil nof
dye, it does not soil -frbite cam
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and
grateful perfume.
