Notice to Debtors.
Attention of all interested is called to the
“Notice of \\ .S. McCarty, Esq., in whoso
hands the collection of accounts for dues to
the Forest News office, for subscriptions
and other work, in the past, has been placed.
Subscribers in arrears, (with some few excep
tions,) who have received their papers from
the Post Office in Jefferson, will find their
accounts, now ready for settlement, in the
hands of the gentleman above named. The
bills of all others in the county and else
where. will be made out speedily, and placed
in his hands at once. And in order that
there may be as little trouble and complica
tion as possible, it is here stated that bills
are made out simply for what i& due up to
the 12th of January, 1878. For illustration,
if a subscriber has taken the paper for two
years and paid for o.ne year, six months, or
any other period, his bill is made out for only
the time due, nothing appearing on the face
of the account as to what had been previously
paid.
Martin Institute.
At this writing, (Thursday) school lias just
opened, with prospect of good attendance.—
All the teachers are in place and are organ
izing classes. We hear of some arrivals
from a distance, hut probably, most of the
hoarders will not be here until next week, or
the week after. We would suggest to those
who have pupils to send, that they enter
them early. We would also suggest to our
citizens in and near Jefferson, that the op
portunity of securing instruction to children
in primary classes is very superior; for we
learn that the cost, for such instruction at
Martin Institute during tho rehole year 1877,
that is. the actual cost, to the patron, was
only seven dollars and fifty cents, ($7.00)
which is hardly more than half the cost of
similar work in country schools. If the same
dividends are paid by the Georgia Road, the
expense will probably not be more for the
year 1878.
Let all who have children to educate, send
them in and send promptly.

at 4 o’clock, p. m., January 16th, 1878, at
the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. W r . R.
W inburn to Alias Ellen Thompson—all of
Hall county. May the happy couple ever
find their pathway strewn with flowers, and
their future continue as bright and joyous as
the present.
The above is clipped from the Gainesville
North Georgian, of the 21st. Mr. Winhurn
and his lovely bride spent from Friday after
noon till Monday morning last, with t he “old

friends of the family. Most heartily does
the writer join in the good wishes of the
Georgian for the future well being of this
worthy young couple. And, en passant, we
are pleased to remark, our hopes are largely
augmented in reflecting that all “Uncle Bil
ly” Winburn’s hoys have been successful,
thus far. Proving beyond cavil, that there’s
nothing like being “ started right.”
Almost a Serious Affair.
We learn that Rev. AI. D. Turner. the

came very near being drowned last. Saturday
week, while attempting to reach his appoint

appears that the river was “up” and running
out on both sides of a bridge which he was
compelled to cross, and after he had passed
over the bridge, his horse stepped into a hole,
and becoming frightened, threw Air. Turner
into the water. 11 is cries for help brought
to his rescue a family living near the place,
who very kindly took him to their house and
gave him allnecessafy attention. Of course,
he failed to reach his appointment.

HON. ALVA T. BENNETT,
MEMBER ELECT TO THE FIRST GENERAL ASSEM
BLY UNDER THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
The subject of -this short biographical
sketch, was horn in this county, on the 20th
day of October, 1828, and is, consequently,
now in the 50th year of his age. His father.
Tnpley Bennett, who was of German descent,
hut a native of Virginia, came to Jackson
county when quite young, and soon succeed
ed in establishing himself as a strictly upright
and industrious farmer, of the best class.—
His son Alva, received such an education as
the times afforded, and inheriting the native
honesty and industry of his ancestors, he
began his career as a farmer; and being aid
ed by superior intellectual powers, he now
stands in the front rank of this class of men—
the noblest of their fellows.
Taking the gold fever, which carried away
so many to hunt for the glittering dust that
swept along the banks of the sullen Sacra
mento, Mr. Bennett went to California in
1850, and there entered upon a series of
hardships and toils that showed an iron will
that yields not to obstacles, when resolutions
have been formed. After exploring the Sier
ra Nevada Mountains and the valley’s where
gold deposits were known to exist, he entered
the mines with the same persistent energv
and industry that lie had before shown upon
the farm. Of his success in the mines little
is known ; but he was regarded by his com
panions as one who made himself equal in
all tilings, and who with a generosity for
which lie is here distinguished, had nothing
which was not at the service of others,
whether a fellow-laborer, or a stranger in
distress. After an absence of three years,
Mr. Bennett returned to his native heath in
1853. and quietly resumed his old occupa
tion on the I’arjn.
Here he remained until 1860. when with
the lamented A. XI. Reynolds, lie was elected
Sheriff of Jackson count,v. in which capaeitv
he faithfully discharged his duties until 1861.
when, turning all his papers over to the
Clerk of the Superior Court, he hastened to
take part in the memorable struggle between
the States. He first went to Savannah ; but
returning home, lie was elected Captain of a
company which soon became attached to the
Western Army. Passing through many of
the liottes* battles fought in the West, Cap
tain Bennett showed himself a gallant sol
dier and a devoted friend ; and at the siege
of Vicksburg his heroic fortitude and powers
of endurance were beyond all praise. At
one time, by right of seniority, he command
ed the 34th Ga. Regiment, and at the siege of
Atlanta, was Major of Militia. Near the
close of the war. he was elected one of the
Judges of the Inferior Court, in which ca
paeitv he served until that office was abol
ished.
Still following the peaceful pursuits of the
farmer, in which he continued to be eminently
successful, he was returned by handsome
majorities to the Legislatures of 1868 and
1876. Being wide awake to the best inte
rests of his country, he favored the late Con
stitutional Convention, and was chosen one
of the members to represent 4iis county
under the new Constitution. Captain Ben
nett is a “front door man,” and being “to
the manor l orn,” we may confidently ox*
pent min i) from him and his able and accom
plished colleague. Col. Will. I. Pike, whose
past record we hope to he able to place be

Montezuma Weekly asks “ifthere
is any wav to prevent parents from treating
their children like brutes?” That excellent
paper says there is a colored family living in
Montezuma who make it a practice to unmer
cifully beat their little children every day.—
Upon inquiry, it was found, that the mother
does, for the most trivial offense, “beat her
little ones until from sheer exhaustion, they
cease to cry, and lie upon the ground utter
ing horrifying moans, until the she devil
whom they call mother, has satisfied her ap
petite for cruelty.”
Now, what we wish to call the attention of
the public to, is the fact that this barbarous
practice exists beyond the limits of the quiet
town of Montezuma. We have a law to pre
vent cruelty’ to animals, and to the honor of
humanity, it has sometimes been enforced.
Now, there is also a law to prevent cruelty
to children, and we think it high time that
Grand Juries were taking this outrage upon
civilized society into their hands, and see to
it that those who commit it. are punished to
the full extent of the law.

looking around in town for the purpose of
making arrangements to send his children to
school this year. He says he has spent a
large amount of money around Jefferson, and
that he wants to get it back. That's right,
Jim—the way to get your money back is to
educate the children.

The success of the leading literary paper of the
West. Trip; Chicago Ledger, is truly remarka
ble. Since its introduction to the reading public,
six years ago. the Ledger has steadily advanced
in favor, and is now acknowledged second to no
paper of the kind in the country. Its circulation
is national, and has been obtained through the
efforts of its publishers to produce a paper of high
moral character, and at the same time sell it at a
price consistent with the present hart! times.—
That they have succeeded, and well too. the thou
sands of readers of The Ledger, scattered from
Maine to Texas and from Oregon to Florida, will
bear testimony. The Chicago Ledger is a
large forty-eight column weekly paper, which
j contains stories both complete and continued, in
j each number, written by the best authors of the
1 day. and a great variety of information interest
j ing to every one. The subscription price of The
| Ledger is only $1.50 per year, postage paid, and
' it is equal in every particular to other papers of
1 the same character, which sell for $3,00 a year,

No Ruffling in His N ghl Shirt.
Saturday forenoon a little old woman who
had come to town in a one-horse wagon en
tered a store on Woodward avenue where
gents’ furnishing goods are sold, and asked
if they kept such a thing as a man’s night
shirt..
“Certainly we do.” was the reply as the
clerk readied for a box.
“ Well, my old man was traveling down in
Rhode Island last fall, and he heard about
'em and saw one,” she continued, “and lie's
been half crazy ever since !o own a couple.
Things have come to a pretty pass when men
have got to Lave one shirt for day and the
other for night, but Thomas is rather child
ish and I thought. I'd git him one."
Most all men wear'em now.” said the clerk,
as lie opened a box. “What price do you
want to pay ?”
“ Well, 1 'dunno.” she mused, as she pick
ed up one after another an 1 let them drop.
•• I d : dn*t say T wanted one for myself, did I?”
“Wiiy, no; of course not. These are
gentlemen's night shirts, madam—three dif
ferent styles.”
She picked up the plainest one, shook it
out. held it at arm's length, and coldly said ;
••Young man, do you pretend to call this
garment a night shirt for a man ?”
“ Yes, ma’am.”
“Yon do, eh? You stick to it that this
frilling and furbelowing and tucking and
milling belongs on a man's night shirt?”
“I do.”
“Then you’d better go to driving a sand
wagon, young man !” she snapped, as she
threw the garment down. “I've worn night
gowns for fifty-one years, and if the day has
come when a young moon-shiner like you

A Georgia Campmeeting Scene.
From Macon. Ga., a correspondent sends
a picture of a late campmeeting near that
place : “It i3 night, ami under an extensive
leaf arbor a swaying mass of black forms
oscillate to every passing emotion, while
torches of pine throw a yellow glare around
and under the canopy, and cast long shadows
on the ground outside the covering. In front
of a rough stand used as a pulpit is a small
enclosure, thickly strewn with leaves and
pine straw, and in this enclosure the favored
few lie in trances of stout prophecies, and
tell what wonders the Lord has done for their
souls. Around this inclosure a multitude of
men and women form the ‘holy dance.’ In
this the men turn their faces outward and the
women toward the centre of the eircle. and
taking hands each steps time to the hymn
that all are singing. Their singing is wild
and weird, and yet there is a charm in the
song of the negro who, untaught, sings in
strict time and with full, round tones that
seem to well up from the heart. It is like
the mournful whoop of our ‘Whip-poor-will.,
Your correspondent has seen a negro woman
carried from the hoivdance in such a ‘trance.*
as they call it. that her body was perfectly
rigid, not bending in the least, although one
man carried her head and the other her feet
and she lay in this condition several hours.
While these poor deluded creatures were
wallowing in the straw before the pulpit at
this campmeeting, one old woman, very fan
tastically dressed, with a qneer bonnet cover
ed with plumes of various colors, broke from
the altar in holy frenzy, and ran shouting
from under the shelter. Just outside the
arbor she climbed to the top of a tall pine
stump about five feet high, and tk re she
stood, and flapped her arms much as a fowl
would its wings, she cried out: ‘Hallelujah!
Hallelujah ! Glory to Go 1 ! Glory Glory !! !
If I just had two wings and a few’ more feath
ers on my head I’d fly away to Glory !”

AMONG THE DEaTfAILURES
Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may bd
numbered ! Beginning their careers with a tre
mendous flourish of trempets, blazoned for a time
in the public prints and on flaming posters, soon,
but not too soon, were they relegated to the limbo
of things lost on earth. But Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters is a living and thriving remedy. It goon
on. curing and to cure. Neither underhand aaf
open competition affect it. On the contrary’, con
trast with inferior rival preparations onlv increas
es its popularity. It has been repeatedly ifnitaf
ed, but without success. Counterfeits of it have
been surreptitiously introduced, but have fallen
flat. Everywhere it entrenches itself in the con
fidence of the people; and well it may. for it is a
thoroughly reliable invigorsnt of the feeble, ban
ishes dyspepsia and constipation, braces the
nerves, cures rheumatic ailments and kidney com
plaints, and eradicates afnd prevents intermittent
and remittent fevers.
