advise our people to ornament their homes
with photographs of their family—pictures
that will prove to be “jo\'S forever,” instead
of wasting their money on trashy engravings,
and the like. Remember, delays are danger
ous. Don’t wait till sickness lays some lov
ed one of the family at death's gate, and then
think of “what might have been hut take to
day for it. and with your family go to Davis’
Gallery, and be photographed. You will he
glad when you have done it, and find money
and the little time well spent.
Extraordinary Fishing.
Editor Forest News: —Mr. John A. Bla
lock, a highly respected citizen of this coun
ty, residing in Randolph's District, has a
Fish Trap in the Mulberry river, about one
mile below Price’s bridge, in which he caught
fifty pounds of sucker fish on the 30th ultimo.
The trap is situated on some shoals (where
the water runs remarkably swift) in the mid
dle of the river, and on each side of which
there is a substantial rock dam. Conse
quently the whole current of the river runs
through the trap. It is of considerable pro
portions, being ten feet wide and thirty feet
long, and was constructed in the Spring by
Mr. \Ym. Woodall, a splendid fisherman and
an old trapper. Piseatorially, Mr. Blalock
has been very successful all the Fall with
his trap—having caught large quantities of
fish of several species. Veritas.
Messrs. Hood & Stephens, Athens, Ga.
This new and enterprising firm makes a
“bow” to the people of Jackson, through our

lot of good things for both the little and big

A Suggestion to our Farmers.
Fully believing that Jackson county and
her enterprising farmers can make a “lively
fight” with almost any section on the “corn”
question, the following scheme is respect
fully placed before them with tlie hope that
some, at least, will “go and do likewise” :
The following scheme for the development
of corn culture has been started in Floyd
county, and we clip it from tlie Rome Courier.
The plan might be successfully trie 1 in every
county : “With a view of producing a spirit
of rivalry between the corn raisers of Floyd
county, we. the undersigned, agree to pa}’
five dollars in gold, which payment will con
stitute the subscriber one of a club of ten < r
more members, with the understanding that
each member have tlie privilege of farming
one acre of land in corn in any manner he
may see proper. The money to be paid into
the hands of some party selected by a major
ity of the subscribers on or before the first
day of May, 1878. They will also select two
disinterested and qualified persons, whose
duty it shall be to attend to measuring the
land, and ascertain the amount of corn—by
weight—raised on each acre contesting.—
When the measuring committee have comple
ted all the measuring they shall give the par
ty producing the largest crop a certificate to
that effect, which certificate shall be consid-
ered a draft on the treasurer for all the mon
ey in his hands after all expenses are paid
for measuring the eorn and land. Any one
can enter more than one acre by paying five
dollars on each acre. There shall be no ap
peal from the verdict of tlie measuring com
mittee. Should it occur that two or more
should tie on the largest crop, then the mon
ey must be divided equally. All acres roust
lie in a square or rectangle, as the subscri
ber may elect.”

General Howell Cobb.
“ The grandfather of Howell Cobb, of Geor
gia, was born near Sheppardsville, Worcester,
now V icomico county, and was a blacksmith
at a place called Cobb Mill, twelve miles
from Salisbury'.”
The above item from the Salisbury (Mary
land) Advertiser is being re-published by
some of the newspapers of the country. It
reflects no discredit upon the memory of the
distinguished gentleman whose name heads
this article, but the truth of history demands
the correction of an error concerning one who
occupied so prominent a part in the history
of his State and country as General Cobb.
The truth is this : General Howell Cobb
was born in Jefferson county, Ga. His fa
ther, Captain John Addison Cobb, was a na
tive of North Carolina, in which State his an
cestors settled prior to the Revolution—
whence Captain Cobb removed to Georgia
while quite young, became a planter and
owner of large landed possessions.
The Cobbs are of Welsh extraction. Their
descent has been traced back to a distinguish
ed family of the name in the days of Llewel
lyn, and among the Cobbs now living in
Wales the Christian name Howell is frequent
ly found to exist.
The great-grandfather of General Cobh
came to this country with his brother, who
settled in the North, both dropping the final
letters from their name. The great-grand
father of General Cobh settled in Virginia,
hi course of time the grand father of General
Cobb moved to North Carolina and was a
farmer, encaging in tobacco raising, and was
a man of large means. The wife of General
Cobb's great-grandfather was a sister of Ad
dison, the English writer, and the name is
being earned through the family. General
Cobb’s father, as well as one. of the General's
sons, being named Addison.— Atlanta Const.

This distinguished divine, who died recent

of age. Although he was next to the young

devotion to the work of his Master's cause.
He wrote several valuable works which arc

practical advice for the preservation and restora
tion of health, a large amount of interesting and
amusing light reading, and the calendar, astro
nomical calculations, chronological items, Ac.,
are prepared with great care, and will be found
entirely accurate. The issue of Hostetter's Al
manac for 1878. in the English. Herman, French,

the largest edition of a medical work ever publish

a two cent stamp will forward a copy hy mad to
any person who cannot procure one in his neigh

The silver in two half-dollars, or four
quarters, or ten dimes, is only worth as bullion
87 cents; but, for paying small debts, it is
worth the same as greenbacks. For buying
any kind of merchandise in moderate amounts,
or paying for labor, those subsidiary coins
are worth as much as greenbacks, viz : 97A
cents. What makes the $40,000,000 of alloy
ed silver small money worth cents Oh the
dollar ? Because they are legal tenders,
although only for $5. . Suppose silver dol
lars were remonetized, how much would they
be worth ? Of necessity not less than the
greenbacks, viz,: cents. They would
contain six cents more silver than the sub
sidiary coin ; and, it is nonsense to assert that
Ihey would be of less value than the subsidia
ry, when they also arc made legai tenders.—

a rumor to the eftcct that the dividend has
been held back, contrary to custom and justice.
Are the members willing to see their preach

One Cent a Otiy.
Economy is the order of the hour, and every
expenditure, however small, is expected to give
a return in full value. Every family requires one
good family newspaper. If such an article can be
procured for less than one cent for each working
day of the year, we are not aware of it. A Fam
tlu Newspaper should contain a carefully-prepar
ed summary of all the news of the daj% both Re
ligious and Secular; and so that the two depart
ments may be separated and read by twoindivid
-1 uals at the same time, so much the better, The
t amity A cwspaper should have attractive reading
and intormation for the various members of a
j household. Some portion of the paper should be
devoted, every week, to religious and moral im
provement, to current secular news, to agricult
ure. commerce, markets, finance, to general liter
ature, &c., with a special department for the
young. A hove all. the Family Newspaper should
I be perfectly pure, and free from any contaminat
; ing influences, in its reading matter or in its ad
! vertisements. Too much attention cannot be
; paid to this feature, when the press is flooding the
country with so much that is vile and pernicious.
| i’o crown all. the Family Newspaper should he
untratnmelcd bv any affiliation with sect or part}*,
and should he free to give all the good news from
and about all the world. If. such a Family News
j paper can be had for one cent a day . it should be
; taken by every family in the land.

what is needed in your household. Send $3.15

Sad Occurrence—A Fine Youth Killed by
Accident.
On yesterday about twelve o’clock a. m.
our town was thrown into a state of great,
excitement by the report that young Fred
Shelvcrton had shot himself accidentally,
while out hunting, and that he was dead.
The report soon proved too painfully true,
for a spring wagon bearing the body soon
made its appearance.
This item is “clipped” from the Washing
ton (Wilks co.) Gazette of the 30th ult. We
have never yet been able to see the propriety
of celebrating “Thanksgiving” by going out
and destroying a few harmless birds. Better
fa”, to keep “open doors” and attend to the
regular duties of business. The above, is
not t he first by any means, of the deplorable
accidents known to have occurred from this
general warfare on the “ innocents” on
“ thanksgiving days.”
That Police Decision.
CORRECT VERSION OF THE HAMPTON CASE —
WIIAT JUDGE HALL REALLY DECIDED IN
RELATION TO THE POWERS OVER A PRIS
ONER.
Some days ago we published what purpor
ted to be the substance of a decision render
ed by Judge John I. Hall, in Henry Superior
Court, in case of the town marshal of Hamp
ton, charged with assault and battery. The
marshal arrested a drunken man and confin
ed him in prison without a warrant and hence
the prosecution. Under the charge of the
court the marshal was found guilty.
A STARTLING DECISION.
From the report first made of the case the
public received the impression that police of
ficers would be required to have a warrant to
justify them in making an arrest, or when
they had arrested an offender be compelled to
at once take him before a magistrate for tri
al. So startling a proposition attracted im
mediate attention throughout the State, and
has caused considerable comment.
The meagre report of the case did not pro
perly state it, and hence has injustice been
done Judge Ilall. The reporter in the Grif
fin Neics. gives the full particulars and points
of the case, making the decision intelligible,
and showing the settled rules upon which it
was based.
JUDGE HAUL'S CHARGE
Lo the jury embraced tlie following:
“The right of the people to be secure in
their persons against unreasonable seizures
is guaranteed by both the State and United
States Constitutions, and is not to bo inva
ded by any official or other person.
“An officer may arrest without warrant
when an offense is committed in his presence,
or when the offender is about to escape, or j
when for other cause there is likely to be a
failure of justice for tlie want of an officer to
issue a warrant.
“When an arrest is made withont a war
rant, the officer making the arrest is required,
without delay, to convey tlie person arrested
before an officer authorized to issue a war
rant, that a warrant may issue as his authori
ty for continuing to hold the person arrested,
but no such imprisonment or arrest shall be le
gal beyond a reasonable time.
“In the emergencies I have stated, an offi
cer may arrest without a warrant, but should
proceed, after making tlie arrest, in the man
ner I have stated, for if he does not, this seiz
ure of a person would be unreasonable, and,
therefore, illegal.
“These rules, laid down for the govern
ment of an officer of the State or connty in
making an arrest, apply also to municipal of
ficers, and no ordinance of a municipality can
contravene them.
“If the defendant was marshal of the town
of Hampton, and Harris committed an offense
against the ordinances, or an ordinance of
Hampton in his presence, the defendant had
the right to arrest him, but after making the
arrest, and without delay, he should have car
ried him before an officer of the town, autho
rized to issue a warrant and obtained a war
rant as his authority for continuing the im
prisonment, and if he failed to get a warrant
if he had reasonable time to do so, but con
tinued the imprisonment after such reasona
ble time without a warrant, and relied on the
ordinance of the town, giving him- authority
to arrest and imprison indefinitely, without
' a warrant for the arrest, then such an arrest
Was the unreasonable seizure of the person
of Harris, and was illegal. If the arrest was
illegal, then, if ti e defendant in forcing the
imprisonment, put his hand on Harris, he
would be guilty of an ‘assault and battery/’’
THESE ARE SETTLED PRINCIPLES
Of thd law in this State, and the charge of
Judge Hail is supported by the Constitution
of tile United States, and the Constitution of
the State of Georgia, paragraph 10 of article
1, code of Georgia, sections 4723 and 4724,
Brunswick vs. Brunswick. 31 Georgia reports,
bottom of page 640, and top of page 641,
Johnson vs. Americtis 4G Georgia reports,
page 80.
No attempt was made to excuse the mar
shal by showing that he had nladc any at
tempt to secure a warrant within reasonable
time, or at all.
The decision upon the law, as above recit
ed is plain and correct. It in no wise ham
pers the action of the peace officers, but re
quires of them prompt compliance with the
law, in the interest of society and the indi
vidual.—At. Const. Now 23d.

to the affections as well as to the interest of eVtr/
member of the great Baptist family in < Jeorgitf.
Every Baptist in the South feels a just pride in
his, or her. denominational paper, and should use
every possible means to induce non-subscribing
Baptists to take this, the best religious family
paper in the Southern States.
In size, mechanical execution, and Complete
ness, it is unsurpassed. Its editorial staff is com
posed of some of the most eminent writers in the
Denomination. It lias a large cofp* of paid Uon
trihutors and Correspondents. It is the Donomina

their (Conventions and urgently recommoneded to
the exclusive favor and pat ronage of the Denomi
nation ill Georgia. Therefore, we urge and earn
estly request every Baptist in Georgia to pub--
sctHic for The Index. Every Pastor nhouldwo
to it that his membership la supplied With the
paper. Every Baptist in Georgia should make it
his duty to subscribe for and support the State
Organ of his Denomination.
SEE ITS PECULIAR MERITS AND AD
VANTAGES
1. -t.v a Denominational Organ. In it are found
discussed all topics and subjects vital to the
Christianity of the age, and especially to Its s
Baptists. No paper evidences fnore wfsdoYn in
discussing the " signs of the times."- It does not
sound the alarm after errorists have done tbeic
work.
2. The Index Contains all the latest Church*
intelligence, revival and otherwise. All facts
pertaining to the progress and prosperity of our
Zion, that can be gathered from the press and
correspondence, arc to be fofind in its columns.
.1. The Spirit of the Pres* of all f)cnolninfl
tions. touching subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds of the age
think, as to the subjects indicated, as well as of
those who edit and control (he paper.
4. ** Our Pulpit ”is another important feature*
Each issue contains a carefully prepared sermon,-
which, in itself, is worth the subscription price of
the paper.
5. All information pertaining to Husbandry—*
the laboring class, or Granges—is carefully ma
nipulated for your benefit.
0. The wants of your children are not neglect
ed. Selections are made from the best Sabbath
school and children's papers, making this depart
ment alike instructive and entertaining.
7. From the secular press is gleaned the latest
political intelligence, nati< nal and international.
These are some of the peculiar merits of Tint
Index. Now as to i.s advantages:
1. You have, combined, the theological, lite
rary. Sabbath School, political and agricultural
in our paper, all for $2.60.
2. The paper is centrally and eligibly located
for gathering all intelligence pertaining to Our
Southern Zion,
