DEATH OF n. J HANCOCK.
This most estimable citizen of our town,
died at his home, here, on Friday afternoon,
July Gth, 1877, about four o'clock.
Air. Hancock had been, for some two or
three months, in a rather precarious state of
health —so as to unfit him, in some measure,
for attending to his business, and at times he
was quite unwell—vet was, apparently, by
proving ; but about four o'clock, on the morn
ing of the day he died, he began to complain
of pain in tlie head, and in a short while was
suffering intensely and rapidly grew worse,
in spite of all the efforts of his physician, Dr.
J. B. Pendergrass, assisted by Drs. W. A.
Watson and C. R. Giles, and near eight
o'clock he became totally unconscious, in
which state he remained till he died. The
physicians say his disease was congestion of
the brain. llis spirit passsd away calmly—
not a struggle or move of the muscles indi
cating his departure from time to eternity.
No man perhaps, who has ever lived here,
will he more missed than the subject of this
sketch. He was a leading and successful
merchant and had a host of friends—many of
whom testified their appreciation by their
attention upon him in the last sad hours of
his life, and at his funeral, which is said to
have been the most largely attended of any
one who lias died here for a longtime. lie was
buried in the new Cemetery, on Saturday
last, by the Masonic fraternity, of which he
was an honored and useful member. The
funeral sermon, preached at the Methodist
church, by Rev. \V. A. Farris, was a very ap
propriate and impressive discourse.
The deceased, was the eldest son of lion.
J. R. Hancock, of this county, and was, in
deed, a worth}" son of a noble sire. He was
thirty-eight years old ; was born and reared
in Jackson county, where he has numerous
relatives, many friends, and but few, if any,
enemies. He received a common school Eng
lish education in the country, and was. just
previous to the late war, clerking for Mr. R.
11. Goodman, at that time merchandizing in
Athens, where young Air. Hancock made a
large circle of friends, and performed accept
able service for his employer, lie volunteer
ed iu the “ Georgia Troopers"’ and went into
service under the gallant Delony. in July.
1861. This company was a part of the
famous “ Cobb Legion Cavalry,” and among
all that band of tried, true and noble heroes,
there was no braver soldis than R. J. Han
cock.
Having served his country throughout the
war faithfully, he returned, at the close, to his
native county, and engaged for a time in
farming, at which he was quite successful.
He then married Miss Sat/lie Pendeuguass,
a most amiable lady, and youngest daughter
of Esq. N. 11. Pendergrass, of this county, and
engaged in merchandizing in Jefferson, lie
ginning on a very limited capital, in 18G8, by
his indomitable energy, courtesy and fine
business management, he rapidly accumulat
ed capital; made customers and friends, un
til now we see the well established house of
Pendergrass & Hancock, with its enviable
business, as the result mainly, of his efforts.
Mr. Hancock was one of the most upright,
thorough-going public spirited citizens of
the county of Jackson, and one whose judg
ment and counsel was sought after by his fel
low-citizens often, in regard to public mat
ters. His voice and influence was ever on
the side of good morals and good government,
lie served a term as Deputy Sheriff of the
county shortly after the war, with fidelity in
the discharge of every duty and acceptability
with the people. lie was an ornament to
society in Jefferson, and in all the relations
of life, whether around the hearthstone at
borne, amid the active, stirring scenes of bu
siness life, in the work of reform as a Good
Templar, as an Odd Fellow, a Mason, or in
the Church, the weight and influence of his
voice and life was felt and appreciated by his
fellows—although he made no loud preten
sions. 11 is steadiness of purpose and deci
sion of character, and his unflinching nerve
in battling for the right, were always strik
inglj T illustrative of the noblest type of man.
He was an humble, consistent and devoted
Christian—a member of the Methodist church
from childhood—that now deplores her loss
in his death, lie was a member of the Exe
cutive Committee, charged with the supervi
sion of the affairs of the Forest News office,
and will be greatly missed by the “manage
ment’* of this paper.
We have, with melancholy pleasure, writ
ten up this brief account of one in our midst,
whose life and character reflects, now that he
is dead, so much of the splendor of an exalt
ed manhood ; believing that many of our
readers would be interested in it. and hoping
that we might, by so doing, help, in an hum
ble way, to stimulate some of the rising youth
around us to make for themselves a good
name by living uprightly before God and
man, while they pursue business with dili
gence, as did our lamented friend.
We trust his weeping widow and orphan
children may be made the recipients of God's
choicest blessings in life: and when tlie
work of life is ended and “ life’s fitful fever
is over.” may they, each and all. be reunitrd
beyond the shining shores of eternity with
the “dear departed.”

On Saturday before the fourth Sunday in
this month, (July.) beginning at half-past. 1
p. in., Messrs. Alaj. AL P. Caldwell. Thos.
Johnson, Capt. A. C. Thompson, and others,
are expected to address the people on the
subject of temperance, at Pond Fork Lodge,
at which time all are invited to be present.

MARTIN INSTITUTE COMMENCEMENT.
Sunday, July Bth, 11 o'clock, A. M.—
Commencement sermon delivered by Rev.
W. F. Glenn, of Marietta, from the text—
“l say unto you, though he will not rise and
give him because he is his friend, yet because
of his importunity he will rise and give him
as many as he needeth.”—Luke, xi. ch. 8 ver.
Notwithstanding the oppressive heat and
; crowded house, the utmost good order was
observed and a deep interest was manifested.
The sermon was preeminently appropriate.
The preacher, apparently without an effort,
held liis audience in a state of eagerness to
catch every word. The discourse was so
plain that the youngest students could com
prehend it; yet sufficiently erudite and pro
found to feast and please the most learned.
The preacher's illustrations were so rich,
varied and forcible as to impress and profit
all who heard him. We felt that we were
listening to one who fully appreciated and
amply illustrated the sentiment of the inspir
ed writer—“ Words fitly spoken are like
apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
Monday, July 9th. was taken up with the
examination of Primary classes; at night.
Juvenile Prize Declamations and Essay
reading, by the smaller girls and boys. This
was one of the most interesting features of
Commencement, in some respects, and must
have sent a thrill of joy to many parental
hearts, in seeing their little darling ones
contending so ambitiously for the prize.
Tuesday, July 10th, was spent with the
examination of the more advanced classes.
These classes, as did those on Monday, ac
quitted themselves in such a manner as to
win a meed of praise for themselves and
which reflected honor upon the able and effi
cient faculty in charge, and was doubtless
gratifying to the patrons. At night, we were
treate 1 to racy declamations on the part of
the young gentlemen, or big boys, who con
tended earnestly for the prize. All did well,
is all vie are allowed to say. The Committee
after consulting, made their award and hand
ed it to W. S. McCarty, Esq., who delivered
the prizes, prefacing the presentation with ;
one of the most appropriate and beautiful !
little speeches we ever heard on such an
occasion. Miss Ella McDonald, Master '
Charlie Thompson and Mr. Marcus Pitt- j
man, were the successful contestants. The
Committee reported that it was with difficulty
they made the award, where so many were
so nearly equal. The Committee and class
were prepared to say “ Detar digniori ” —yet!
some of the readers and declaimers may have ,
felt—“l fought and conquered, yet have lost
the prize.”
Wednesday, July 11th.—Original speech
es were delivered by the young gentlemen ;
all the speeches were good and some would
have been pronounced very good, had they
been the productions of older heads. At
night reading original compositions by the
young ladies was in order, and right well
did they acquit themselves with honor.
Thursday, July 12th.—Original Composi
tions by the young ladies of the Seil
ior and Sub-Senior classes. The composi
tions were just a little better than anybody
expected and were splendidly read. After
reading compositions, Prof. Glenn delivered
diplomas to Miss Mary Caritiiers and Miss
Rosa Poole, who have completed their stu
dies in connection with “Martin Institute.”
Prof. Glenn then introduced Col. Henry
Perry, of Gainesville, who proceeded to de
liver the usual address before the “Literary
Society.” Col. Perry's subject was the “Su
periority of Moral and intellectual forces over
the Physical powers.”
This appropriate address will not be for
gotten soon ; it was brilliant and able, replete
with beauty and abounded in the happiest il
lustrations. Col. Perry presented his sub
ject in the clearest manner that it possibly
could have been presented. His arguments
were forcible—bis conclusion just and ir
resistible. The steady gaze of the large au
dience was fixed upon the speaker. The en
tire speech was truly eloquent, several flights
were on the very highest order of oratory.
While we know that the entire programme
of the week was a literary treat, when we
heard Col. Perry, we felt that “ Finis Coronal
opus”
We must not omit the spicy part of the
Commencement. The music furnished by
our accomplished music teacher—the Belle
of Jefferson and of Georgia—was superb, as
interspersed by Miss Myrtie McCarty, aid
ed by her brother, Henry McCarty and the
music class, from Monday night to the close
of the exercises on Thursday. I came ; I
saw ; I heard, and was much pleased !
Visitors.
As incidental to Commencement, we notic
ed the following visitors in town during the
first days of the week. There were, proba
bly, others who did not come within the range
of observation :
From Oglethorpe Co. —Balsy Faust, Esq.;
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Davenport, Miss Mary
Lou Faust, Messrs. W. Z. and Win. Faust.
From Madison Co. —Mr. Doss Williams.
From Walton Co. —MissCarithers,Messrs.
NunnjiU}’ and Breedlove.
From Banks Co. —Judge A. C. Moss.
From Athens. —Messrs. Medlin, Chandler,
Reidling. *
From Harmony Grove. —Mr. W. P. Daniel.
In addition, on Thursday, the following
named gentlemen were in town :—Dr. W. M.
Willingham, Crawford ; Messrs. D. R. Mose
ley and C. 11. Smith, leading merchants of
Nicholson; Messrs. W. M. .Howard and
Rob’t Cornwell. Sen. class, IT.l T . of Ga.; Dr. J.
Bradfield, Atlanta: Col. S. C. Dobbs, Ath
ens; Cols. Perrv and Marler, Gainesville;
W. B. Whifciuore, of the Int. Rev. service.
Lip Died, July 6th, little Willie Harrison,
son of N. C. and Eveline Harrison, aged nine
months. Resting in Heaven !
Beech Creek School.
The manager acknowledged, last isues, an
invitation to be present at the “exhibition”
of the above “institution” on Friday night of
last week. A press of business prevented
our presence in person, though we are grati
fied to say the Forest News was not without a
representative on this pleasant and instruct
ive occasion. Several friends from Jeffer
son, were present, and from them we
learn the audience was large, attentive, and
appreciative. The “exercises” were com
posed cheifly of dialogues and declamations,
and taken singly or as whole, the "pieces”
showed attentive study, and in their rendition,
proved that the efficient principal had not
been neglectful, in the least, of this impor
tant branch of his school. Many of the pu
pil were, as we are told, quite small—one fa
cetious visitor remarked, “only somewhat
larger than a snowbird”—still, notwithstand
ing, there was not a single failure. Col. A.
L. Barge, the principal, is well qualified to
teach the 3'oung “idea how to shoot”; and
from the large number of students in atten
dance, the parents in the good neighborhood
of Beech Creek, appreciate the value of such
a teacher as the Col. has, on more than one
occasion, shown himself to be. Vacation
will continue for only one week, after which
time the Public School will open. All suc
cess to such a teacher and such a community.
At the close of the exercises, that indefati
gable worker in the “educational vineyard,”
G. J. N. Wilson, Esq., County School Com
missioner, being called upon, stepped to the
“front,” and entertained the large congrega
tion present in a most healthy and palatable
“dissertation” in the interest of general edu
. ~ 1
cation,‘for some fifteen or twenty minutes.
Everything in connection with the interest
ing occasion, passed off in the most pleasing
and satisractory manner.
Sickness and Deaths.
Esquire Pendergrass informs us that lie has j
sold some dozen “ burial suits” within about
the same number of clays just passed—the
fatality though, is confined, principally to \
children. A Mr. Crawford Hancock, former
ly a citizen of long standing, in Jackson, but
who had moved over into Hall latterly, died
suddenly, only a few days since. Consider
able sickness, wc hear, exists over in Banks
and in many communities and sections of
Jackson countv.
“Handsome is, as Handsome'Does.”
When a gentleman wags up-stairs, into the
News office, under the “heavy pressure” of a
bushel and a half of wheat, gently places his
load on the floor and tells the manager “ here’s
a present for you,” there at once appears
something real and tangible in his actions.
At once the mind of the glad recipient is fill
ed with visions of apple-dumplings, noodle
soup, hot hnscuit and butter, et cetera, &c.
Thanks to Mr. A. A. Delaperrierc, for lus
timely and acceptable courtesy.
Neat and Artistic
Is about the best terms we can employ in
referring to the Map of the Cemetery recently
prepared by Mnj. M. P. Caldwell, under
the auspices of the “City Council.” The
Professor is one of those who, whatever he
does, “he does it with all his might,” and
this handsome piece of his handiwork shows
that, in this particular line, at least, he is the
“right man in.the right place.”
Hail Storms
Appear to be quite common now-a-days.—
From various sections, through the papers and
otherwise, we hear of several storms recently
—some doing considerable damage to grow
ing crops and vegetation. Our own county,
Clarke ond Oconee, have not escaped.
Effects of the Hail on Beech Creek.
Air. J. J. Cook was in to see us Friday
morning, bringing along some vines and
fruit damaged by the late hailstorm. In ap
ples and peaches great holes had been knock
ed by the force of the hail-stones ; tomato
vines were cut in two as if with a knife, and
in some instances bruises an inch long show
ed plainly the damage to this and other veg
etation. Mr. Cook suffered much from this
visitation. lie brings us, however, a. sample
of wax-beans, and dares the county to beat
them—and this motion is heartily seconded.
The First Cotton 801 l
Exhibited at this “precinct” came from Joe
Damron, col., who lives on what is called the
“Sanford Williamson place,” some three
miles east of Jefferson.
Preaching at Gallilee.
Rev. P. F. Lamar, will, we are requested to
announce, preach at Gallilee, near Thomp
son’s Mill, on the sth Sunday in July.
SdPThere is only one thing that keeps us
from having a blackberry dumpling at our
house, and that is, we have no sugar, and if
we had the sugar we have no berries, and if
we had the berries we have no flour, and if
we had flour we have no lard, and if we had
lard wc have no soda nor salt, besides manv
other reasons, too tedious to mention, that
would prevent such a luxury.— Donglassville

There now ! That’s the sequel of publish
ing a paper “on time !” Besides, ever since
we read, in the spring, that Bro. Waddev’s
calf had jumped the fence and “cleaned up”
all the “garden sass” we’ve listened for bad
news ; there was a presentiment of “ hard
times” in that editor’s household. Now, we
sympathize with you, brother; send over a
box, basket, jug, bottle, anything—and we’ll
importune our friends to assist you. Uncle
Mike will send you a little honey; Mr. Cook,
the champion gardener of Beech creek, we
know, will send you one or two of his big
cabbage, and “Dol” Brooks will throw in
enough flour to make several “dumplins.”
and there arc some other good friends to

OBITirARY.
Departed this life, from consumption, on
the 30th day of June, 1877, Mrs. Maggie R.
DeLaperriere, consort of oilr esteemed
friend, and one of Jackson count}’'s best,
noblest and most patriotic citizens, A. A.
DeLaperriere.
It was the pleasure of the writer of this,
to spend a day and night With this good and
pure woman and her devoted husband, a few
months ago—thereby giving him an opportu
nity of seeing into the workings of the family,
and he was most profoundly confirmed in the
opinion, and here asserts, that Airs. DeLaper
riere was one of those precious jewels, given
to man by the Great Creator, to render his
life agreeable and happy. Modest, prudent,
unassuming—yet possessed with that well
bred quality of character which enabled her
(although confined to her bed by that dread
disease consumption,) to render her guests
(most especially if they were friends of her
husband) perfectly at home and comfortable.
Airs. DeLaperriere bore her sufferings with
great fortitude. She was not a member of
any church, but expressed her desire to unite
with some church, and regretted, before she
died, that she had not done so. She was a
Presbyterian by faith, and living at a remote
distance from any church of this denomina
tion, tended, no doubt, to cause her delay in
attaching herself to the church of her choice.
We have every reason to believe that. Airs.
D. is now in Heaven, with her little babe,
who died last year. Her last words were
spoken to her husband, telling him, though
she regretted to part with him and her dear
remaining little boy. she was willing and
ready to die ; and that she would soon be
off—the angels were waiting for her. In her
every day walk of life she gave evidence of
being a Christian, and by her happy death
she left her devoted husband and friends
with the consolation that she is now in Para
dise. H. IV. R.
Prayer-Meeting at Thyatira.
By request, it is announced, that Praver-
Aleeting will be held at Thyatira on Sunday
morning next, at half past nine o’clock.
HPNo buggy too small to carry “double”
during Commencement.
LfPAlrs. Nancy Randolph, we are sorry to
hear, is not improving.
tdPDied, on the morning of the Gth inst.,
Rhoda Ann Streetman, infant daughter of
AL 11. and Lizzie Streetman, aged 1 yr., 2
mos. 16 days.
From a little official document shown
us “ accidentally,” a day or two ago, we infer
a wedding has come off, or will soon take
place, a short distance below Jefferson. “Let
the good work go on !”
IdFThe address of Air. W. S. AlcCarty,
Esq., in delivering the prizes to the declaim
ers and readers, the other night, was a most
beautiful and talented combination of thought
and ideas.

LIP Airs. Wilson, whom we mentioned last
week, as being in a very low condition, died
on Alonday night last, about one o'clock, at
her home, out in the “Thompson Alill” set
tlement. Her remains were carried to “Oco
nee church” for burial on Wednesday.
LlPForgood and, to the manager, satisfac
tory reasons, on reflection, he has thought
proper to defer the “ Tributes of Respect,”
by both the Alasons and Good Templars, to
the memory of our deceased friend, R. J.
Hancock, Esq., till next week.
LUPThe local interest felt in all that per
tains to “Commencement,” induces us to
give a good deal of space, this week, to an enu
meration of the actings, doings and savings
of the students and their friends, who parti
cipated with them, during the entertainments
of the past few days.
Melancholy and Sudden Death.
After our paper had been put to press on
Friday, (to-day,) our citizens were shocked by
the announcement that Miss Lizzie Hunt, a
beautiful and promising daughter of Dr. J.
O. Hunt, had been found lifeless in her room,
by her father. She was, an hour previous, in
the enjoyment of good health and spirits, ex
cept complaining somewhat, of neuralgia in
her face. We have not room for details, nor
do we know anything of particulars. We
feel well assured that the bereaved family
have the heartfelt sympathies of tl.c entire
community of Jefferson, in this sad hour of
affliction. The deceased was about 17 or 18
years of age, we presume.
The Constitutional Convention
Assembled, according to the provisions of
law. on the 11th, in the Hall of the House of
Representatives, in the city of Atlanta.
Ex-Gov. Chas. J. Jenkins was elected
Permanent President; J. Cooper Nisbet, of
Dade, Secretary; Johnson, of Hart, Door-
Keeper ; R. J. Smith, of Coffee, Messenger.
In the afternoon session, thirteen Standing
Committees were appointed to consider a
Constitution, under the following heads :
Bill of Rights, Legislative, Executive, Ju
diciary Department, Elective Franchise, Ed
ucation, Public Institutions, Finances, Militia,
Counties and County Officers. Homestead
and Exemption Laws of General Operation,
Amendments and Miscellaneous. A second
resolution was adopted that a committee he
appointed on Final Revision, consisting of
two members from each of the thirteen com
mittees, to which all the committees shall
report. It was agreed that all resalutions \ e
referred to appropriate committees without
debate.
“Kiss me, George,” she said, and chained
to the rest of the gang as he was, George
managed to kiss the girl. The other prison
ers looked on in envy, and the Sheriff looked
on indulgently. But how much more the
prisoners would have envied that kiss, and
how sternly the officers would have prohibit
ed it, had either known that between those
coral lips there was a small ke}’, fitting the
steel bracelets on George’s wrists. Precise
ly how he put to use that farewell kiss is not
known, but he did unlock his bonds, and, al
though the train was going at a very rapid
rate, conveying him from Springfield, 111., to
the State prison, he bounded through a win
dow and escaped.
