In general terms, the advice and admonitions
given are well worth the attention of those
to whom the writer addresses himself, for the
most part- But in arraying one party against
another in the present canvass, his commu

unpleasant and expensive discussion through

most respectfully declined.

A Compliment.
The Oglethorpe Ecrto commenting on
Mr. Davis' Photograph triumph at the State
Fair has this to say : Everybody knows that
the best place in Georgia to get an elegant
picture of one's self is Davis’ Gallery, in Ath
ens ; and now that times are easy’, we would
advise our people to ornament their homes
with photographs of their family—pictures
that will prove to be “joys forever,” instead
of wasting their money on trashy engravings,
and the like. Remember, delays are danger
ous. Don’t wait till sickness fays some lov
ed one of the family at death's gate, and then
think of “what might have been but take to
day for it, and with your family go to Davis’
Gallery, and be photographed. You will be
glad when you have done it, and find money
and the little time well spent.

Meeting of Conference at Gainesville, 28th.
In the North Georgian, of the loth inst.,
we find a list of the members and delegates
together with the homes to which each and
all are assigned. The following paragraphs
may not be without interest to some of the
readers of this sheet:—
Preaching each day at three and seven
o'clock p. m. Sacrament of the Lord’s Sup
per Friday night.
Missionary Anniversary Saturday night.
Anniversary of Sunday School during Con
ference week. Will have songs and addres
ses.
The schools of the place are invited to at
tend.
Members of the Conference coming by
private conveyance, will report at A. Whel*
chel’s store, on Public Square.
As further connected with this interesting
occasion, the following, from the local co
lumns of the Georgian, is here added and
reproduced :
We understand quite a number of people
from the adjoining counties are coming to
Gainesville with their wagons, and intend to
“camp” here during the Conference. Let
everybody avail themselves of this opportuni
ty to see an annual conference and hear the
preaching. The hotels will probably be full,
but there will be ample camping room—plen
ty of houses and offices that can be had for
the asking.
“The Patch Meeting,”
Announced by Mr. Ilaygood, Sunday, after
the forenoon service was concluded, and
which took place at the Methodist church at
3 p. in., was quite well attended and proved
decidedly interesting. The exercises were
composed of prayer, music, (both vocal and ;
instrumental) and some three or four short j
lectures by Mr. Ilaygood, his closing remarks ;
being on the subject of “ idol worship,” du-1
ring and at the end of which, he exhibited a
•* Burmah goddess.” much to the delight of
most of the young folks present, as well as a
good many of the older ones. As before re
marked, this afternoon service was extremely
interesting, and all who attended, went home
a great deal better pleased than if the time
had been spent in visiting and listening to
the usual Sunday afternoon “tattle.”

REPLY OF JOHN W. GLENN,
“ One of the Council,” to J. G. Thrower.
Mr. Editor: —The good people of Jack
son know from the above, who “One of the
Council” is, and, I think, that before I am
done, they will know better who James G.
Thrower is; He will soon see whether “One
of the Council” 19 ashamed to appear over
his “own name,” or to coining out like a mani
He seems incapable of understanding the
modesty that would prompt any true gentle
man to repel an attack on the entire Council
over the title, “ One of the Council.” Does
the man know what a non de plume is ? I
shall try’ to deal in no personalities, except
such as has been authorized and used by
this “ large-hearted and whole-souled man
and I wish the good people of Jackson to
know that this controversy is none of my seek
ing. I never attack except in defense. I
shall let the facts tell how he “cameout like
a man,” and how “ large-hearted and whole
souled” lie has been, as lie sneeringly’ calls
on me to be. Some weeks since, this “ man
ly,” “ large-hearted man” conceived the plan
in his “whole-soul” to crush the retail license
system, and instead of attacking his own,
made a rude, uncalled-for, and unauthorized
attack on our council, charging, that, because
wc did our duty, (as I shall certainty show)
we are responsible for all the crimes which
may result from the sale of liquors, &c. He
says now. his attack was no offense. Let his
people decide. One of his leading Good
Templars called my attention to it, and an
other gave me the paper containing the arti
cle, both thinking it ought to be noticed. I
gave the attack a short notice, and every
member of our council—some Good Tem
plars—endorsed it. The next week he came
to our county’, and in a talk, as lie thought,
beyond my hearing, he attacked my article.
A good Templar informed me, and gave me
notice to meet Thrower here ; and said Tem
plar proposed to meet him if I did not. This
shows what his own friends thought of Ids
course. Now, for some of the “ manly” ac-s
of this “large-hearted” gentleman.
First: He did not attack his own council
in Atlanta, or that of some neighboring town,
but he selects ours, where-he hopes to find
an easy conquest. That’s “ manly” act num
ber one! !
Second : AVhilein our county, and at a dis
tance from Jefferson, without giving me no
tice, he attacked my former article. That is
“manly” act number two ! !
Third : AA r licn lie came to town an 1 found
me in the church, and ready to meet him. (for
he knew well who “One of the Council” was,
as T shall show), he did not attack my arti
cle '‘like a man,” but whined about thinking
it hard to be charged with receiving pay for
his work when he did not. That was “ man
ly” act number three ! !
So soon as I heard of his not accepting any
compensation for his labor, I called on a mu
tual friend with whom lie was stopping, and
inquired if Thrower meant to attack mv ar
ticle here; and, when informed that he would
not, I authorized this friend to tender to
Thrower, in substance, the amende honorable
i which appeared in the last week’s News.—
That friend informs me that he delivered the
apology’in my name. This “large-hearted”
man sent me no reply’, and that was “ manly”
act number four ! !
Again : That apology was tendered on Fri
day afternoon while he was in town, and just
one week before the last issue of the News,
containing his reply, and when he had per
fect control over that article ; but with appa
rently no appreciation of what is due from
one gentelman to another, and without any
notice to myself that he declined to accept
said apology—but permitted me, as I had in
timated through said friend, to publish that
paper; and he deliberately inserted in the
same issue which contained my kindly ex
pressions for him, a contemptible, spiteful ar
ticle, full of personal reflections against my
self. That was “manly” act number five!! !
And that was a “manly” act indeed to come
from a “large-hearted, whole-souled” man!!
I am sure that none of our “ liquor dealers”
would do such an act, and, fellow-citizens,
you may imagine my surprise and profound
astonishment, when, on reseipt of the last
News, I found this little bundle of venom
wrapped up with my apology. It would real
ly be very amusing if it were not such a gross
violation of all manhood. I now, with the
same publicity withdraw my apology, except
as to the fact about the pay, for I would not.
even now, misrepresent this “large-hearted”
man ; but l own I was surprised at his spirit
ed repulsion of the charge of receiving pay.
while thousands of far better men consider it
no disgrace to take compensation for similar
work. I think I understand him better now.
This boast of “working for nothing,” was his
stock in trade !
Now as we know something of l im, let us
glance at his article. Please put it before
you.
lie complains that I called him a “ lecturer.”
All right, INIr. Thrower, I heard you try it
since then, and I promise not to say it any
more. Again, he comes at me with the de
bating society witticism that he would answer
me—“were there anything to answer.” If Mr.
Thrower means I made no argument for the
license system, he is exactby right. If 1 offer
ed any I didn’t “go to do it.” I merely
meant to intimate, a little sharplv, to Mr.
Thrower, that he was making a very ungen
tlemanly attack ; but he blusters around that
little card as though he had found a whole
nest of big arguments. Now, whether he real
ly found out he had onty been worrying a
“badger-skin” and “seeing bow lie could a’
font,” I can’t tell. lam inclined to think be
did not find it out, but concluded it would be
a funny thing to say that “there were none
there” any how!
The pill was notthatdosc, Mr. Thrower,
but I shall give it to you after a little, you
may rely ; and such a one as I think even the
“ one-ideaed” Mr. T. may possibly feel and
recognize ; provided , English words can con
vey stroll a thing to his mind. This saving
clause is put in here; because, further on.
while answering my arguments (which I never
made) on the right to license, he flies off. as all
such fellows do, in a wild challenge for me “to
show us (him) one single case where any good
comes from the liquor business Who said
anything about the liquor business ? Here lie
fires off a mattrailleus at all creation, hoping
that one of the shot shower may strike some
body or something. Also, in his last para
graph. he says* in regard to his (my) ques
tion as to whether the State holds the doctor
and druggist responsible for their acts, &c.,
that is silly. I agree with you, Mr. Throw
er, “that is silly;” but it’s not my “silly,”
Mr; TANARUS., it is your oivn, so father it. please.—
I did ask if the “State was responsible for the
sins of doctors?” &c: not whether the State
held them responsible. Do you know your
“ silly” now Air. T. ?
Again, this gentleman who loves the “truth
ful” so well; seems just about as reckless of
facts as he does of meanings. He says in
the second paragraph. “One of the Council”
knows that the present council did not grant
the license to these bar-keepers. That is very
strange ; 1 thought I was “One of the Coun
cil,” hut I am very sure I never knew what he
says I did. Again, he says, “He. ‘One of
the Council’ knows that the preceding conn
ed granted the license, and he knows too,
that the present council seeing the evil influ
ence of the traffic, put upon it all the restric
tions in their power.” Two more “knows”
which he must father, not I. Ido know that
the present council did grant the license—
that the preceding council did not grant the
license—that tlic present council to a man
diff Vote to grant the license—that I, myself,
made the motion to restrict the license—and
that I did not transmit it; for T did not be
long to the former conned. Could anybody but
a fanatic rush so recklessly into print ? Does
the man have no regard for truth ? Or is it
a case where “ignorance is bliss?”
Now, follow-citizens. I propose to settle
this question, whether town councils should
grant license. I profess to he a law-abiding
citizen. Mr. Thrower may be a higher-law
man. or in favor of the old Puritan Blue-laws,
and burning witches ; but when I accept an
ofiicc and take an oath to do the best I can for
my people, 1 try to execute the law as defin
ed by our Supreme Court, or in the absence
of law, I try to act for the greatest good of
the greatest number. When I was younger
and rather wild, like Air. TANARUS., in the tempe
rance cause, I tried his silly plan, or one bet
ter. to prohibiting local retail. In Auburn,
Ala., where wc had some three hundred young
men in school, I secured a legal act to pro
hibit the sale in a circle with a radius of five
miles. I need hardly say’ that the experi
ment was a total failure. Our former coun
cil made a similar effort, and it was generally
remarked, that drunkenness was never so com
mon. Are these facts worthy of your notice
Mr. T. ? The Legislature gave us the right
to regulate the traffic, but no power to prohi
bit; so says our Supreme Court, 15 Ga. 408,
and 22 Ga. 203. Do you see any argument
in that Mr. T. ? Or doyou regard their Hon
ors as all old fogies, to be disregarded by
great men, like you ? Again, you say r that
restriction is prohibition in a degree. This
same old fogy Court says, we may restrict but
never prohibit. Sec 14 Ga. 354, 32 Ga. 211,
43 Ga. 421, and 50 Ga. for 1873, and many
more. ’ If town does not grant license any
citizen can sell understate law. Doyou see
any argument in that Mr. T. ? Again, the
same court says that the p >wcr to prohibit is
a “vpi’y high power,” and would not allow it
to the town of Decatur, even when her char
ter contained the word “ prohibit.”—22d Ga.
203, and acts, of 180!) et. ah. not changed.—
Can you find any argument in that Mr. T. ?
Once more, not even our General Assembly
has dared to exercise the power which this
reckless fanatic insists that a little town coun
cil must assume, and abuses said council be
cause it will not.—See Acts in Gcn,l. Does
that look like an argument?
This same General Assembly have often
and again in the past few years, utterly re
fused to grant any' such power, to any oorpi -
ration whatever, except under oet.itions or lo
cal option laws to be submitted to and ap
proved by r the sovereign people, See jour
nals of last two Legislatures. If this does
not settle that question, Georg - a has no fix
ed law, for scarcely any point of law has been
more frequently contested and n ore uniform
ly settled. The Bible says b i subject. Now
I hope w’e have done with this. I hinted to
Mr. Thrower that lie had better look before
he made such an issue, and if he had add res -
ed us courteously and gentlemanly, I should
have answered him kindly and fully. A few’
words more and I have done. In his last
paragraph he “demands that I tell the peo
ple,” etc. Demands! demands I Are we in
a free country ? This is the sublimity of
impudence, and the essence of Jesuitism!
“On what meat has this Caesar fed that lie
lias grown so wonderoi.s great?” This is of
same piece as his hectoring our Council. Does
the man think that he is temperance ? Can any
one so stultify’ himself as to think that a per
son can’t favor temperance except under the
direction and command of J. G. Thrower?
Were the Prophets and Apostles and all good
men. hypocrites and enemies of temperance,
till natyre in sublime throes gave birth to the
stupendous Thrower ?
Mr. Editor, lam sorry to have consumed
so rmrcli or your space. Thanking you, I
say if Mr. Thrower wishes fairly to discuss
the question of loc(d license, I am ready to
meet him in public with pen or tongue, but
if he wishes to deal in further personalities
and offensive language, let it be private,
where we will not offend public taste. lam
ready ! John AA r . Glenn.
Rev. F. M. Haygood.
This revered worker in the vineyard of his
Master, filled his usual 3d “Sunday and Sat
urday” appointments here according to pre
vious announcement. .And the writer feels
sure that every advocate of religion, morali
ty and good order-no matter what his denomi
national creed or doctrine—will be gratified
to hear that Air. Ilaygood has consented to
serve the Baptist church and congregation
again, next year. Not only so, but from him.
we learn of the probability of his taking
charge of the “Academy” church, also, for the
next year. Thus, this beloved and highly
esteemed servant of the Most High, will be
thrown among the people here and the regions
round about, oftencr and much more frequent.
Since the advent of Air. Ilaygood in this
“parish,” we arc pleased to know that he has
made many warm friends outside the “pale”
of his own denomination. And it is with
still more gratification we repeat what
observation goes far to prove—that our good
friend is deeply “in love” with most, if not
all, our citizens. Therefore, we cannot close
this scrap without uttering the hearty wish
that all the future association and connec
tion it may be the lucky lot for our people to
have with this devoted laborer for good, may
prove mutually beneficial and agreeable, both
in a spiritual and temporal point of view.
To all Interested—and the Pub
lic Generally.
Twice, in the past, then again last week, the
announcement was made in these columns, that
communications or othet matter ihsorted for per
sonal benefit or to subserve personal and private
ends or aims, would be published only on condi
tion that such matter would he chargeable and to
be paid for as advertisements. Still, some of the
good people seem not to understand—or are not
willing to understand, why this rule has been
adopted. As briefly as the Manager will
endeavor to explain :
First—lt has become customary, throughout
the country, for most, if not all. publishers of
newspapers to charge for such work, simply from
the fact that tn nine oases out of ten. only a ten
few persons (often a single individual,) are the
beneficiaries in the case.
Second—So far as relates to candidates for of
fice, as instanced just now : There is no division
of political sentiment ; all profess to belong to the
same political creed ; there have been no party
nominations ; every man ‘-totes his own skillet;”
the race of each gentleman is run on purely per
sonal grounds, and is simply a scramble between
individuals as to who shall succeed. Railroads
and other “ common carriers” do not convey can
didates over the country FREE, in order to assist
in their election. A newspaper can only be ‘run'
on the same principle as the railroad—without
some money, neither eftn hold out long ; and if the
publication of an article in a newspaper assists
the candidate in his enterprise, ought he not to
render quid pro quo for what he receives, as well
as the merchant or mechanic who advertise their
wares and merchandize? Many other reasons
might be added, but we do hope this outline will
be satisfactory* Thq idea that ft paper is printed
and to he used simply as a public convenience,
has long since exploded. In these latter fifty*,
everything is managed with an eve single to the
pay that’s in it, and in our estimation., newspa
pers form no exception to the general rule.
A few more words. At the commencement of
the publication of the Forest An vs. the Manager
asked the appointment of a committee from the
stockholders in the concern, which committee
should be superiors in the management of the af
fairs of the office. And now. the writer would
most respectfully ask one and all who may feel
aggrieved at any of his rulings and decisions, to
confer with the Executive Committee, whose
names appear from week to week at the ‘- head”
of the editorial column. The dictates of this com
mittee will always be regarded as supreme, in any
matter pertaining to the office and paper.

Ilaygood’s on Sunday afternoon last, in re
gard to everybody having a hymn-book, as
well as a nice dress or anew suit of clothes.
Yes, let all get hymn-books, but be sure to
ask the choristers not to do like a good many
preachers—put the “bread” on such a “ high
shelf” that only a few can reach it.
President” Williamson (Uncle Mike,)
will please accept the thanks of the Manager
of the News for that lb. potato, while the
“boys” raise their “chapeaus” in obeisance,
for a box of fine hickory-nuts from the same
source. And while on the subject of “pota-
toes.” a sample of white and red yams were
handed to the “Manager” the other dayU
which are hard to beat. They were the pro-;
duction of Mr. Geo. Merk, who' informed us i
that of the fed lie made' 100 bushels on a
quarter of an acre of land, and of the white
at the rate of 300 bushels to the acre.
UfPA good friend related a rather singular
circumstance rn our hearing the other day,
brought to mind, he said, by something he
had seen in the Forest News. “I knew,”
said the gentleman, “of a man who had five
wives and nine children. The wives are all
dead, and also five of fchc children. And
strange to say, neither of the four living
children had the same mother.*’ To the first
wife, two children were born ; she died and
so did one of the children. This occurred
with the other three wives—each bearing two
children, then the mother and one child dying.
To the fifth wife one child was born, when
both child and mother died; leaving four
children as first mentioned.
