To Postmaster Goss,
Of Harmony Grove, are we under obligations
for bis expressions of interest in the welfare
of the Forest News, as also for his kindly
fX | )re ssions towards the Manager, personally.
j n answer to an inquiry as regards mail mat
ters, Mr. Goss sends us the following sclied
ulc, which will, doubtless, be of interest to
a ]| our business people:
REGULAR mails to and from harmony

Arrive from Athens, 6 P. M.
Leave for Athens, 10-28 A. M.
Leave for Air-Line train, going North, f> P M.
Arrive from Air-Line train, coming South,
10-28 A. M.
Friend Goss further remarks, “We now
jet an extra mail on Monday, Wednesday
and Saturday mornings, which arrangement
was made for the benefit of the Jefferson
mail.”
This same fact we also learned from Post
Master Our, of Athens, to whom we are in
debted for a deep interest in all that pertains
to the welfare of Jefferson and its people.
Our complaint of irregularities was not di
rected against you, good brother, but rather,
your aid was invoked to help us, if possible,
out of the difficulty.
Col. Dorough, Dec’d.
Last week, the fact was mentioned, that
the remains of the lamented Col. T. T. Dor
ougli, were to bo exhumed on Friday, the
14th inst.. for the purpose of an inquest by
the Coroner. To that honored functionary.
S. S. Yearwood, Esq., we are under obliga
tions for a copy of the'verdict rendered on
the occasion, and which is hereunto attached.
While lamenting the sudden death of the de
ceased, we are pleased to learn that the in
vestigation was perfectly satisfactory to rela
tives and friends, and that the suspicion of
foul play was not substantiated, in the leasb
by any evidence introduced before the highly
intelligent body of men composing the Jury.
[verdict.]
Me, the Jury, after a post mortem exami
nation of the body of T. T. Dorough, dec’d.
by Dr. L. G. Hardeman, find that he, the de
ceased, came to his death on the night of the
3d of November last, by being intoxicated
and lying on the track of the X. E. railroad.
U miles above Harmony Grove, in Jackson
county, when the down train, about 10o'clock
at night, ran over him and cut his head from
hi body, with many other bruises, and caus
ed his immediate death. This, Dec. 14th,

A Compliment.
The Oglethorpe Echo 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 eas}% 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 lays some lov
ed one of the family at death’s gate, and then
think of “what might have beenV’ 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 mone} r
and the little time well spent.
CHRISTMAS.
As is customary, now, in most, or all
printing establishments, there will be only
a half-sheet issued from this office next week.
Our boys all think they ought to have a little
holiday, along with the balance of mankind,
and tee think so too, hence this announce
ment.
The Christmas Tree.
With pleasure we announce that all the
preliminary arrangements for the “Christmas
Tree,” under the auspices of the Good Tem
plars, have been perfected. Christmas Eve
has been set apart as the time for the exhibi
tion, if we ma}' so term it. And we are fur
ther pleased to state, that it has been deter
mined to make the occasion still more interest
ing by having it all a free thing—open to
every one who desires to enjoy this privilege
of bestowing some gift upon a friend or rela
tive.
It is earnestly requested that all who wish
to contribute gifts with which to decorate the
“tree,” will have them, properly labelled, at
the Institute, by, or at 3 o’clock, Monday
afternoon. Should it not be convenient to do
this, packages left with either member of the
Committee, will receive proper attention.
The writer would take the liberty of sug
gesting, that, as every one almost, has some
friends or friend to whom he or she desires
to extend a Christmas present of some kind,
let each adopt this method of carrying out
the intention. Let all put their gifts on the
“tree,” and thus make the occasion as en
joyable as possible ; and in addition, let the
gift s be as substantial as possible.
Another suggestion will be pardoned* it is
hoped. We remember, that in days past,
when at the “head” of a similar enterprise,
the interest was enhanced in a large degree,
by having a competent gentleman to deliver
a lecture explaining the “ whys and where
fores” of Christmas ; or, in other words, the
reasons for its celebration. In conclusion,
it is truly hoped that all our good people will
contribute something to make the entertain
ment one of pleasure and enjoyment, indeed,
co all interested. The following is the Com
mittee to whom consignments may be made
for the benefit of the “Tree.”
Dr. W. A. Watson.
Dr. J. B. Pendergrass.
W. 11. Simpkins. Esq.
Mr. A. 11. Brock.
Miss Annie Johnson.
M iss Kittie Gober.
Miss Emma Winburn.
Miss Mary Lou Bush.
Rev. W. A. Fariss
Left for his new appointment, Hartwell, on
Wednesday morning last. That he may have
a safe journey and find a pleasant “field” to
“cultivate,” is our heartiest wish. In con
nection herewith. Air. Fariss requested us to
say to all his friends, that it would have
afforded him great pleasure to have called on
each and every one before leaving; but the
ill-health of some of his children and a com
bination of other circumstances connected
with moving, rendered this impossible. To
all he leaves an affectionate “farewell!”
The Fantastics.
According to request, a goodly number of
j-onng men from town and country met at
the Court-House, on Tuesday evening last,
to perfect, in some degree, arrangements to
have a grand fantastical parade of the Phan
tasmagorians during Christmas. We are not
authorized to state it as a fact, but. hear that
the parade is to come off Tuesday—Christ
mas day. Before going to press, we hope
to be able to give a definite programme of the
parade, time and place of meeting, &c. Keep
cool, boys, so you may be able to appreciate
the fun.
A Suggestion.
What do you read t hese long wiirter nights?
Send immediately for The Sunny South
and read its splendid new stories, poems,
essays, sketches, religious and secular news,
scientific and humorous articles; work out
its puzzles, mathematical problems, and
games of chess, or amuse yourself with its
correspondents column. Every family in the
South should take it without delay. It is our
Southern family paper, and presents a great
er variety of reading matter than any other
journal. The price is only S3 a year, or tiro
subscriptions for $5. See advertisement in
another column. Address J. IJ. Seals or
Sunny South, Atlanta. Ga.
£3§pFor $3.75 we will furnish the Sunny
South, and The Forest News for one year.
Bring along your subscriptions.
Dr. J. 0- Hunt,
Who has resided in Jefferson for the last two
years and over, moves off and casts his lot
with the good citizens of Lithonia, a little
town on the Georgia railroad, some ten miles
below Stone Mountain. The Dr. must par
don us, but we hate to see so well-bred a
gentleman leave the community; though, as
a matter of course, every sensible man will,
and ought to, act as his own interests and
the interests of those to whom he is bound by
the ties of nature seem to dictate as best.—
The departure from our midst, ot a family so
intelligent and well beliked, leaves many a
heart filled with sadness and regret.
New Confectioneries, Tobacco,
CIGARS, &c.
Air. A. 11. Brock will open, in a fewdaj’s,
in the office recently occupied by Dr. Giles,
weft corner Public Square, a choice lot of
Confectioneries, suitable for the Christmas
and holiday demands. He will also keep on
hand constantly, a good assortment of Ci
gars and Tobacco of various brands—and
none except what will be A No. 1. Other
goods, in same line, will be added from time
to time, of which due notice will bo given.
Let those in want call and see for themselves-
Rev. C. C. Cary
And his amiable young lady arrived in town
on Tuesday evening last, and for the time
being, are the guests of Prof. Glenn. Now,
let our good townspeople try, as far as prac
ticable and proper, to make, not only the
new preacher, but all the new*comcr3 to our
little “ forest city” feel perfectly at home,
and prove to the outer world “how beautiful
it is for brethren to dwell together in unitv.”
Come Up to the Captain’s Office.
It is most earnestly hoped that all the
patrons of the Forest News office residing
in town and vicinity, who know they are in
debt to the establishment, will call and make
some effort to “square up.”
Municipal Election in the "Queen City."
The last of the series of elections came off
Tuesday. As we had predicted, Dr. Brad
ley was elected Mayor by a handsome major
tty. Mr. Smith ran well, and those who op
posed him knew him to be an honest, clev
er nan, and hated to cast their votes against
him ; but believing Dr. Bradley was the man
for the crisis, came quietly to the polls and
cast their ballots for him.
The Aldermen elected are :
First Ward—Dr. 11. J. Long, two years ;
W. B. Clements, one year.
Second Ward—T. A. Panel, two years;
W. 11. Henderson, one year.
Third Ward—W. G. Henderson, two j’ears ;
T. M. Merk, one year.
The}' are all good substantial citizens, and
will make a first-class corps of Aldermen, and
the city feels proud of her selections.— North
Georgian, 17 th.
About Smith.
The well-known and genial Smith is visit
ing friends in Detroit. An anxious public
will be pleased to learn that Mr. Smith is
well.— Free Press. No sir, Smith is in Bur
lington, blind drunk.— Hawkeye. What a
slander! Smith is here sober as usual.—
Danbury News. All you fellows are mistak
on. We saw Smith at the colored church,
with his family of black-smiths.— Pittsburg
Gazette. That’s another ! Smith is here sus
pected of horse-stealing.— St. Louis Times.
Worse and worse ! Every man in Toledo
knows that Smith is here, and just going to be
married. Blade. Still blundering. Smith
is here, already married, and wishing he wasn't.
—Morristown Free Press. We sympathize
with Smith, hut lie is not in Morristown ; he
is in Hartford jail.— Courant. That’s a piece
of currant news we know to be false. We
saw Smith (before our dinner, too), and he
was anxiously inquiring where to difect a let
ter that would reach any member of the old
Whig party, lie was advised to send it to
Aleck Stephens.— Baltimore Sun. Gentle
men, you are all wrong or dreaming. Smith
is in New York. If you don’t believe us.
look in the directory.— Mail. That’s not so.
John Smith lives in Oglethorpe county, and
is of a red head itory clever family. lie has
never been in the penitentiary, but was sen
tenced for two years in the Legislature, which
is next thing to it.— Echo. Gentlemen, we
dislike to gainsay your announcements, but,
Smith lives in Elherton, and is a gentleman
and a scholar. lie was accused last elec
tion of voting for Sandy Cross for the State
capital, but he denounces the accusation as
an infamous calumny, and when he says any
thing is a lie, you’d better believe it.—Ga
zette.
Wrong ; all wrong, gentlemen ! Smith? did
3*ou say Smith ? Why, he lives right here in
Jefferson, and is one of our most intelligent
and enterprising c tizens. He has one oTthe
best “ fitted up” tan-yards iu the country. If
you want leather, harness or anything of the
kind, call on him. —Forest News.
One Cent a Day.
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
ily Newspaper should contain a carefully-prepar
ed summary of all the news of the day, both lie
litjious and Secular; and so that the two depart
ments may be separated and read by two individ
uals at the same time, so much the better, The
Family Newspaper should have attractive reading
and intormation for the various members of a
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 Neicspapcr should
he 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.
To crown all, the Family Newspaper should be
untrammeled by any affiliation with sect or party,
and should be free to give all the good news from
and about all the world. If such a Family News
paper can be had for one rent a day , it should be
taken by every family in the land.
Such a Family Newspaper, in eveiy respect, we

Pat’s Dream.
A son of the Emerald Isle was observed
one morning to look very blank and perplex
ed, and a friend asked what ailed him. Pat
said he had a dream. “ A good or bat? one ?*
inquired a friend. Pat answered it was a
little of both. “Faith, PI) tell) je. I dream
ed I was wid the Pope, who was as great a
jintleman as any in the (Tisthrict, an’ he axed
me would I drink ? Thinks I, would a duck
swim? And seeing the crayther, an’ the
lemons an’ the sugar on the sideboard I towl
ed him I did’t care if I tnk a wee drap of
punch.” “ Cowld or hot ? ”axed the Pope.—
“ Hot, j r cr holiness,” I replied ; and with that
lie stepped into the kitchen for the billin wa
ter, but before he got back I woke straight
up : and now it’s distressing me that I didn’t
take it cowld.”
For cold feet: Previous to retiring at night,
and before undressing, remove the stockings
and rub the feet and ankles with the hands.
During the day wear two pairs of stockings
composed of different fabrics, one pair of silk
or cotton, the other of wool, and the natural
heat of the feet will be preserved, if the feet
are kept clean, and if the friction of the same
is not omitted at night.
