LITERARY ADDRESS,
By Col. llenry Perry, of Gainesville.
Deaths—Sickness.
Mrs. Brooks, mother of our friend and fel
low-citizen, Mr. A. E. Brooks, died about
sundown on last Tuesday afternoon, at the
residence of her son, in Jefferson. Mrs. B.
was some 71 or 72 years of age. and had been
in feeble health for some time previous to her
death.
Mr. Warren Hawks, a highly respected cit
izen of Jackson, died at his residence, some
11 miles east of Jefferson, on last Sunday.—
We arc not sure, but believe that Mr. Hawks’
disease was a bronchial affection, from which
he had been a sufferer a longtime. 11 is age
was sixt3 r -four years and a few days.
Mrs. DeLaperriere, wife of Mr. A. A. Dc-
Laperriere, 8 miles west of Jefferson, died on
Saturday last. Her disease was consump
tion.
We learn that Mrs. Wilson, whose resi
dence is somewhere in the “Thompson Mill”
settlement lies in a ven* critical condition,
with no hope at all of recovery.
Mr. I\. J. Hancock, of this place, has been
in bad health for some time—but able, at in
tervals, to be up and attend to business. For
the past week he has been confined to his
home ; and though, thought by his physician,
to he improving, lie was attacked severely
Friday morning and, as these lines are put in
t3*pe, is suffering intensely.
The Zealous Christian,
Published at Gumming, Forsyth co., is now
one of our most eagerly sought exchanges. —
Rer.S. D. E vans, late of Denver Conference,
formerly of the North Georgia Conference,
lias became associated as a partner with the
Zeal-ous Christian, and assumes the duty of
traveling in its interests, presenting its claims,
receiving sulrseriptions, advertisements, etc.
This gentleman our little town on Sun.
day night and part Monday. According
to announcement, ho preached in the Metho
dist church. Sabbath. ntsp. m. lie is, as we
learn, a worthy, self-made young man, and it
vs hoped, may meet with abundant success in
las new field of labor. We beg pardon for
eallingtbe attention of ouryoyng friend to a
sad deformity of speech—if the expression is
admissible—under which be labors in preach
ing. A kind of peculiar lisping habit makes
him add, apparently, the plural to many
words, thereby, spoiling—unintentionally, as
a matter of course—the style of his speech
and taking away from his language that force
and effect it ought and would, no doubt,
otherwise have.
Destructive Hail Storm.
On Sunday night last, there occurred a heavy
hail storm for several miles up and down, on
the western side of the Mulberry river in this
county. We are not informed really as to
the extent either way, but learn that at Mr.
D. A. Camp's the storm was very heavy in
deed ; then, ranging down, or more south
ward, it struck Mr. Marsh Patman's premi
ses. and still further, the plantations of Mr.
Lyle Patrick, George Steed and others suf.
fered severely from the hailstones—in some
instances cotton, corn, and other growing
vegetation being perfectly riddled.
As Others See Us.
One of the editors of that most sprightty
of county papers, the Hartwell Sun, has been
journeying “to and fro,” and, it seems, du
ring his travels “took in” a part of “Old
Jackson,” of which, and in regard to which
he speaks thus complimentary:—
* * * * “From thence we went to
Jefferson. There, too, we saw many' improve
ments, made since our last visit. Several
new houses. The locality is rather liilly and
broken ; but it would be hard to find" any
where a prettier street than the one we enter
ed from this side of town, with its neat
houses, pretty flower yards and beautiful
shade trees—in sight of the nice little creek
as it rushes down from the large Flour Mill.
Jefferson can boast of more game chickens
than any r other place of its size in Georgia.
There is a splendid School at this place, with
Profs. Glenn and Orr as principals. Here
the Forest News flourishes. We found among
the people that it was a popular pape r and
we heard some of the citizens say that it and
The Hartwell Sun were the first papers they
read after mail time.
“At 2 p. m., we reached J. G. Justice’s,
Esq., Marcus, Ga., 8 miles beyond Jefferson.
Here we met a hearty reception—a thing we
very much appreciated after the long ride
across the country. In Jackson County is
much fine land and large bodies of splendid
bottoms. In journeying across the county
there is no danger that y’ou or your horse
will suffer for water, as there are springs,
branches and creeks in abundance. The
crops are looking well. Cotton is a little
backward, but with the recent good rains will
soon be all that can be desired. You can
see more good orchards in Jackson County
in one day than you can in mostof the counties
in N. E. Georgia in a week's time.
“At our friend Justice's, we enjoyed huge
ly his splendid apples, luscious, ripe peaches,
delicious cherries and several varieties of
plums. Here we also had some of the rich
est golden honey we ever tasted, and we
could not help comparing Jackson County,
mentally, to the land in the good olden times
that “flowed with milk and honey.” Mr.
J.’s bees ought to do well, for they have ev
ery opportunity afforded them, if 15 to 20
acres of fruits and flowers besides the sweet
ness to be gathered from the wild flowers,
grapes and forests dripping with honey dew
—we say if this does not inspire them to
duty, what will? Mr. Justice has the finest
nurseries we ever saw. From them 3'ou can
procure any kind of trees or shrubs you may
desire. We saw grape vines not more than
a foot long with two and three bunches of
grapes on them. The larger ones were laden
down with fruit. It would astonish 3’ou to
see how small some of the trees begin to
bear fruit. Think of a peach tree not more
than 2 feet high having ten beautiful ripe
peaches on it —pear trees 3 or 4 feet high
laden with pears. We left such a place, we
assure 3 r ou, with reluctance.”
"Bad Behavior in Public Places.”
Under this “head” a writer in the Macon
Telegraph $ Messenger . thus alludes to the
annoy'ing practices indulged in at “Com
mencements”—and that too, generally, by the
“F. F’s” of the community in which the en
tertainments occur. The extract is inserted
with the hope that “ a word to the wise (?) will
be sufficient.”
“It is a good tune to reflect upon the lit
tle vexations accompanying the pleasure de
rived from these exercises in order to sug
gest remedies for them.
“The writer has attended a few of the en
tertainments of the past week, and would
have been glad to have been present at them
all, but was deterred by' the actual rudeness
of many in the audience who could not “eat
the hay” themselves, and seemed determined
that no one else should.
“Although situated near the centre of the
house, and in a good position forbearing, un
der ordinary circumstances, it was often im
possible to catch a syllable that came from
the stage because of the noise from behind
and around. The loud voice of a strong-lung
ed man could not be heard at times, much
less the gentle tone of a young girl. This
noise was occasioned by the constant talk
ing of a miriad tongues, confined almost en
tirety to the 3*outh of the assembly, but by
no means the male members. Many’, who
should have been more considerate, were en
gaged in earnest conversation, as if they had
come merely to exchange the news of the day%
or to criticise the exercises, the participants,
the audience and each other; when, if the
truth were known, it would have been much
more pleasant for their neighbors if they had
remained at home and received and made
their calls in the parlor.
“Another thing which was very annoying
was the multitude of small children, too
young to appreciate the exhibition, but whoss
curiosity prompted the climbing over and
standing on the top of scats in order to see
everything, and when requested to sit down
for a few moments they would pay no atten
tion. Of course the little dears should have
every enjoyment that can be given them, but
there were many who would have been much
happier in bed and asleep, to say nothing of
the increased happiness of their parents and
friends.”
Juvenile Prize Declamation.
Elsewhere is published a “synopsis” of
the Programme of Exercises during Com
mencement, next week. It will be seen our
“little boys” are to have a “tussle” for a
prize on Monday night. To add to their in
terest in the matter —if the “young gentle
men" will accept the offer—the Manager of
the News proposes to give the best orator a
copy of the paper for one year, as an addi
tional prize. The following are the youthful
contestants:
JUVENILE DECLAIMERS.
Willie Bailej", Eddie Bailey, Gussie McCar
ty, George Silman, Ilenry Shackelford, Tom
mie Shackelford, Frankie Shackelford, Char
lie Thompson, Johnnie Turner.
A Public Need.
One thing most needed in this county is a
good, substantial fire-proof safe, within which
to keep the public records. The county offi
cers are aware that the county would loose
at least a hundred thousand dollars and an
endless litigation ensue if the records were
burnt or stoleu. —Oglethorpe Echo.
There is a “home attractiveness” about the
above, which we think would admit of “culti
vation” by our own county authorities.
Beech Creek School.
To Col. Barge, the efficient principal, we
are indebted for a special invitation to the
“exhibition" of this school (to-night) Friday.
The News.
On general principles, there is very' little
“afloat” in the land, of anything important
or striking. From the “ East,” we received
not a line by-Thursday’s mail. The best,
and most important of all too, is the contin
ued “good tidings” as regards the crop pros
pects of the county. From all quarters the
joyful notes are heard of an unprecedented
yield of wheat. The oat crop has proved far
better than was anticipated in the early part
of the Spring, while the prospects for a most
bountiful corn crop were never better, at this
season of the y’ear. Should Providence still
“smile” on the county in sending the genial
showers, only a few weeks will suffice to fill
to overflowing the farmers' “cup” of gladness
and jo3 T . The cotton too, throughout the
country, is promising to a degree highly sat
isfactory to the most expectant. What is
here said in a generalwwa r , applies, we are
gratified to say, in an eminent degree to our
own county’ and section. A highty respected
cotemporary makes the following beautiful
allusion to the present crop prospects of the
South :
“If prosperous seasons continue, thanks to
a kind Providence, the south will be placed
on an excellent pecuniary basis and once
more prepared to commence the assumacy’of
the proud position she once occupied among
the wealth and stable of earth. It does seem
providential that the year which has first wit
nessed the removal of political chains should
also bring the blessing of glorious harvests
and returning prosperity. There must be a
divinity that shapes our ends in mercy and
wisdom, for after the many hard years of toil
and privation the beautiful bow of promise
spans the horizon with its glowing colors.”
Cotton Blooms by the Dozen.
On Friday evening of last week, after our
issue had gone through the press, Mr. W. C.
Roberts, living some seven or eight miles
above Jefferson, handed us the first bloom of
the season brought to this office. It was ful
ly open the day previous, 28th ult. Next
morning, his honor, Ordinary Bell, handed in
one from his farm, open the day previous.—
And on the same day, C'apt. A. T. Bennett
sent some blooms to the office through Mr.
Barnett. Mr. Tom Potts also handed in a
Friday’s bloom. On Tuesday, Judge Mc-
Donald sent in some blooms which were ful
ly open on the Ist instant—with many more
open at the time of sending. Thus it will be
seen, our farming friends are pushing ahead
in their “line of business,” with every pros
pect of an abundant harvest at the proper
time.

The First Monday and Tuesday,
Were not so enthusiastically “observed” as
many of their predecessors. The facts are,
“dull times” affect everything—public days
as well as anything else. Tuesday, nothing
done—nobody in town scarcely. In the
Court of Ordinary. Monday, Esquire Bell
“passed” on the following:—
Will ofLovick Pearce Probated and ad
mitted to record ; Letters Testamentary is
sued to W. P. Mangum.
Letters Guardianship to James N. Potts.

The Cemetery.
Maj. M. P. Caldwell, Ass’t County Survey
or, under direction of the “City Fathers,”
has been engaged a day or two past, in plan

walks, etc. Should the improvements con
templated be properly executed, our “city of
the dead” will be quite an ornament to the
town as well as highly creditable to the Hon
orable projectors of the noteworthy enterprise.
Home-Made Harness.
A glimpse at the advertisements this week,
will show that Mr. F. S. Smttii proposes to
keep something substantial for sale in the
way of home-made harness. In addition, at
his “yard,” Mr. Smith keeps constantly on
hand and at low figures, an excellent lot of
skins and hides of all kinds and qualities, of
his own tanning. Give him a call and help
support home-folks. *

“regions round about.”
EdF’Col. Silman, we have been told, made
218 (or more) bushels of wheat. That’s better
than some other professions that might be
mentioned.
£3P*The “Fourth” was duly observed by
some of our colored folks as a da3 T of idleness.
A mistaken interpretation. The 4th of July,
1776, was not a day of “idleness” by any
means.
IdiPWhen there is a big law-suit over a
little pile of wheat, and an appeal is taken
from the decision of the officiating magistrate,
one thing is pretty certain—the lawyers mean
to take “biscuit in their n.”
IdP’Mr. Russell Hosch, up on the Mulberr3 r ,
some ten or twelve miles west of Jefferson,
made 385 bushels of wheat on 19 acres ; and
on 40 acres on the same premises—or near
there—7s7 bushels were made I)3' the “Ilosch
boys.” There’s a good prospect for “cake”
for some time to come.
EdF*The average Jefferson man now cuts
Bermuda grass with his pocket-knife, to keep
his quadruped from starving—at least it is
whispered that a suburban citizen latety

this interesting pastime, and one of the two
a city father at that. The “Ex. Com.” had
best see after this.
RF’The funeral of Mrs. Brooks took place
from the Presb3 T terian church Wednesday
afternoon. The services were conducted b3’
Mr. Graves, the 3’oung and highty beloved
minister in charge of that church. Her re
mains were followed to the final resting place
of the dead by a goodty concourse of relatives
and friends.
EPA report having gained curreucy' that
a negro had been killed in Newtown, Dr.
Cash, who was in town Tuesday, was inter
viewed. The Dr. avers that it is a slander
on his district to suspect that blackberries—
the only stimulant at hand, for weeks, could
bring the most reckless of his fellow-country
men to the point of committing so foul a deed.
Yes, sir,” said one of our citizens the
other day, as he viewed the remains of his
buggy which had just got back from a loan,
and was then standing at the blacksmith
shop, waiting repairs—“Yes, sir, it is far
preferable to hire a vehicle whenever 3’ou
want one, than to attempt to keep one of your
own and loan it out whenever called for.”
fPCoI. Styles says two of his subscribers
got mad and discontinued their papers be
cause they were asked to pay for it. Yes,
Col., and it is very strange to see how quick
some people find out they are not “ able to
take a paper” when you make known the
fact that they are expected to pay for it. On
the other hand, they will take it out of the
office and read it for twenty y’ears, if there is
nothing said about money.
UP 3 At a “church meeting,” held at the
dose of the morning service, Sunday, at the
Methodist church, the following selection of
delegate and alternate to the District Con
ference was made :—M. Stafford, delegate ;
Col. J. A. B. Mahaffey, alternate. The Con
ference meets at Harmony Grove on the even
ing of Aug. Ist. Introductory sermon by
Rev. Mr. Cotter.
IW* A man could stand the flies and never
lose his temper, if they would only be con
tent to be buried where they fall, but when a
fly as large as a grain of coffee falls on its
back on a slab of butter, turns over and
crawls out and goes limping across the plate,
straggling and wading through everything
it can find, and finally cremates itself in a
bath of hot coffee, good gracious, but it does
make a Christian mad !
LiPThe funeral discourse delivered by
Rev. Mr. Farris on Sunday, relative to the
death of Mrs. Nancy Williamson, who, it will
be remembered, was so suddenly “called
hence ” about two months and a half since,
was forcible and practical in its teachings
and —as the respected minister remarked—
not expected to benefit the dead ; hut, on the
other hand, was meant for the direction and
admonishment of the living—those left be
hind—relatives and friends—husband, father
and children.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&c., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mias
matic poisons.
Tliis is a compound remedy, prepared with'
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in malari
ous districts demand. Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the euro
of is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral, and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using it as before. It has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis
orders, and so unvarying has boon its success
that it lias gained the reputation of being infalli
ble. It can, he safely recommended ns n sure
remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague of
the West, and the C'liills and Fever of the
Fouth, which, once broken up by it, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such as Aett
ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,-
Blindness, Toothache, Uaraclie, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic
Affections, Hysterics, I’nin in the Row
els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
.•'.ITU’s Aci’E Clhf.. which cures them all alike,-
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails,-
as it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever sutler if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complnlntn. arising from 1
torpidity, it is an excellent remedy ; it stimulates
tliis organ into healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable cures where other medicines
fail.
