Our Schools.
Col. A. L. Barge will open school next
Monday morning, at Beech creek, at which
place he had a flourishing school last year.
His retention shows the good sense of the
, people of that community ; for they will al
ways get the worth of their powder and shot
when Barge tells “the }'oung idea how to
shoot.” Knowing what to tell, and how to
tell it, we have good reason for placing him
among our best Educators. The Col. pro
poses to resume the practice of law in Chand
ler’s and contiguous districts. Long may
his banner wave!
Rev. W. 11. Bridges will also open school
next Monday morning, at Yearwood’s Acad
emy, near the residence of that friend and
patron of education, Mr. Abel Yearwood.
Mr. Bridges is a first-class teacher, of long
experience, and perhaps, ns good disciplina
rian as any man in Georgia. Success to
you, old friend ; we have tried you long and
often.
Prof. M. L. Parker, another teacher who
should receive the support of his entire com
munity, has opened school at Harmony
Grove, on the Northeastern railroad. For
many long years, we have been accustomed
to witness exercises in the school-room ; but
of all that we have seen, none were superior
to those conducted by Mr. Parker. We have
many reasons for feeling that Harmony
Grove is our native home. Some of the best
friends we ever bad live there now. and we
will be excused for saying:—All hail to her
and her institutions J
There may be other good schools open, or
about to open, in various parts of the coun
ty ; but, wo have not beard of any. As stated
last. week. Martin Institute is in good
working or-ler. and the brain power of giants
s at work there to plant, flowers along the
oathwav of little boys and girls, and show
those of years more mature that, as far as the
eye oan ?ee *>r the ear hea r . there are fields
of honor and usefulness spread out before
them, where everything which can please the
eye or gratify the mind, grows in luxuriant
profusion.
Our Exchanges.
All of these bright messengers reach us
filled to the briiq with gems of rare beauty
and value. We find their company very
pleasant indeed ; but, if possible, it is still
more pleasant to meet with the hearty wel
come that has heen extended to our unex
pected advent into a brotherhood composed
of a class of men and women of the highest
respectability and intelligence known to
Americans e?ety.
Nor does otir gratification stop here. Some
have gone so far as to compliment us in a
wav that we never dreamed of deserving.
True grea*ness excuses the weaknesses of
others, and those who possess it are led to be
generoos by the impulses of a heart that Dents
for tlie good of others, whether of high or low
degree. For this welcome and this generos
ity on the part of our “exchanges,” we offer
our sincere thanks, and pledge ourselves to
sustain our humble entree into this new field
of labor as well as our sense of honor and
gratitude will enable us to judge. “To err
is mortal, to forgive is divine.”
Something Remarkable.
Last Thursday night was the “golden
wedding” of that highly esteemed citizen of
our county. Rev. Hartwell Jackson. On
the night of that same day. half a* century
ago. Mr. Jackson and his beloved companion
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony.
Mr. Jackson has three living brothers, older
than himself—the four being born in succes
sion—and all of them now between seventy
and eighty years of age. and all, if the writer
is not mistaken, being citizens of Georgia.
Court at Athens.
Next week, the Superior Court of Clarke
county commences its session at Athens.—
To those who may be called to attend, the
writer of this paragraph would recommend
the Newton House as a most pleasant retreat
for the tired and hungry. Capl. Clinard, as
a “host,” stands unrivalled for politeness
and courtesy, while everything in the dining
room is conducted in the most elegant style.
Religious Service.
We take pleasure in announcing that Rev.
T. M. Foster will preach at “Galilee.” to
day, (Saturday.) to-morrow, and to-morrow
night. The attendance of all is solicited.
Jackson County Musical Convention.
The singers, and friends of sacred music,
are requested to meet at Oconee church,
Jackson county. Ga., on Friday before the
third Sabbath in February, 1878, for the pur

Mr. Editor: —l have been hoping to get.
a day or two to spen i in your town, but not
knowing when I shall h ive the opportunity,
I will not postpone writing any longer. The
weather lias been unfavorable for congrega
tions to assemble, consequently, we can
hardly sav that we have commence 1 our
work—though I am visiting as I have oppor
tunity. I think, from present appearances,
we may do well ; of course, under the hies
ingsof the Lord. Among other st *ps taken
to promote the interests of Christianity, we
are making an effort to get the people to
read the Bible, under a proposition to read
three chapters each day. except the Sabbath,
and on that day read five ; which, if com
mence'! on first day of January, would take
us through the Bible and Testament this
year. llow many of your readers will join
us? 'Ye read this morning. 28th of Exodus :
who will commence with us and report to von 9
If you like, I can send you the number and
names of those agreeing thus to read in my
circuit.
Brethren, you who expect to go to Gamp
meeting, at Wood’s camp-ground, second
Sabbath in August next—you will not have
time to build tents, after work-time: there
fore, you had better build tents at spare times
now. Many of you can and ought to build
tents, in order to lighten the burden on oth
ers. You expect to go, and want your chil
dren converted ; you ought not to expect
others to bear all the burdens.
M. H. Eakes.
RP’Since the above was handed in for pub
lication. the light of Bro. Eakes’countenance
has beamed in on us of the News office.
With all appreciative people, it is presumed,
there is always a peculiar emotion that fills
the breast on grasping the band of a good
man. It is sincerely hoped Mr. Eakes may
have a chance to visit Jefferson often; a
hearty welcome awaits him, from friends of
all denominations. His suggestions above
are well worth considering.
Remarkable Succes*.
The success of the leading literary paper of the
West. The 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 hard 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
contains stories both complete and continued, in
each number, written by the best authors of the
day. and a great variety of information interest
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
the same character, which sell for $3.00 a year.
Three copies of this valuable paper will be sent to
any one who sends 10 cents and their address to
The Ledger, Chicago, 111.
The Colossal Bronze Statue of Victo
ry' which stands in the Park, at Lowell, be
fore the tomb of the first soldiers that fell in
the revolution, is a lasting and beautiful trib
ute of art. It is one of the first objects
sought by strangers visiting our sister city,
which indeed many visit purposely to see this
elegant object of high art. It was obtained
from the King of Bavaria by Dr. J. C. Ayer,
to whom his majesty was especially gracious
in acknowledgment of what his remedies arc
reputed to have done for the suffering sick.—
It was donated by the Doctor to the City- of
Lowell a9 a permanent and speaking emblem
of the victories both of Science and Arms.—

This is an institution of which Athens may j
well be proud. It is the first wonder of that
city. Reader, it is worth your while to ride
fifty miles to inspect the beautiful display of
pictures here presented to the eye. The walls
of his handsomely furnished studio are fes-!
tooned with the choicest gems of art, all from
the gifted hand of Mr. I). He has every
needed apparatus to render his productions j
the quintescenee of perfection. At the re

tion of pictures was the centre of attraction,,
and he triumphantly carried away the prize
over all competitors. Citizens of Oglethorpe,

The Parent of InNomnhi.
The parentof insomnia or wakefulness i.siu nine
cases out often a dyspeptic stomach. Good di
gestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes
with it. The brain and stomach sympathize.
One of the prominent symptoms of a weak state
of the gastric organs is a disturbance of the great
nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stom
ach, and you restore equilibrium to the great cen
tre. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is
Ilostettcr's Stomach Bitters, which is far prefera
ble to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics
which, though they may for a time exert a sopo
rific upon the brain, soon cease to act. and invaria
bly injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters,
on the contrary, restore activity to the operations
of that all important organ and their beneficent
influence reflected in sound sleep and a tranquil
state of the nervous system. A wholesome im
petus is likewise given to the action of the liver
and bowels by its use.
“Let Us Have Peace!”
Peace between Turkey and Russia is about
consummated. The versions given do not
agree in all material points; but enough has
been received to assume that no further hos
tilities will take place. Russia has been
more lenient in her demands than was expect
e l : but -still they leave Turkey a mere skel
eton of her former power. Thus the grand
carnival of blood an 1 suffering is likely to
end ; but ominous growls are heard around
lirones hitherto silent, but now begin to
show an uneasiness that inn}' soon be heard
; n tones far more oininotts.
t-lPT?}' an accidental omission last week,
the fact, was not mentioned that W. A. Wor

appointed thereto. Bro. Worsham was a good
and faithful officer, and we shall miss him.
But he says it was impossible to do .so much.
and attend to his legitimate business. Turn
it and twist it as lie would, he couldn’t swap
horses more than twice a day, and that hard
ly done justice to the profession.

from a wound inflicted by Miss Ellizabeth
Taylor, whom he had seduced. He had

coming to her ears, greatly ineen=ed her. and,

where he was sleeping and cut his head open.

Mr. F. C. Johnson of sixth district, gives
us the following experiments, which he made
last year with commercial fertilizers: He

and four at the rate of 200 pounds per acre.
On the first four rows he made 56 pounds of
cotton, on the second 98 pounds, and on the
third 108 pounds. From the above experi
ments, which he said was conducted with
care, the conclusion is. that it will pay to use
fertilizers at the rate of 100 pounds per acre
but not at the rate of 200. Since fertilizers
are used so extensively, this is an important
I matter, and we should like to hear the ex
; perienceof others of our farmers— Carrollton

A Touching Incident.
Apropos of tin? work of evangelists, we give'
the following touching incident:
Thirty-five years ago. Kev. Mr. tfewell, a
minister ofgrenf zeal and acknowledged piety,
was stationed in this city. It occurred to
him one dav that there might be those who
either could not, or, for some reason satis
factory to themselves, would not attend
church, so, at the risk of being denominated
eccentric, he announced that he would preach
the following Sabbath morning in the Lower
Market, at sunrise. Among the servants
owned by a family of Methodists Was one
Dinah—a woman who. though ready to work,
was wicked, quarrelsome, and much given to
strong drink. She never attended church*
but uniformly denounced as arrant hypocrites
all of her color who were churchgoers. Dinah
grew worse and worse, and, at last, her lms*
band told her mistress—a most excellent
Christian woman, long since inducted into
the heavenly mansions—that he would be
obliged to separate from her. Dinah pursued
the rough tenor of her wavs. Mr. Sewell’s
determination had become generally known
throughout the city. On Saturday night
Dinah approached the good lady referred to
and said :
“Miss, please have the children get up
earlier tlmn usual to-morrow morning.”
“Why, Dinah ?” was the kindly response.
“Because I thought I could put the room
to rights in time to attend preaching at the
market at sunrise,”
Without manifesting her astonishment., the
mistress replied :
“Nevermind about the room. Dinah; I’ll
attend to it. (To and hoar Mr. Sewell.”
Dinah went, and immediately after service
returned homo a changed woman. The
metamorphosis was so complete that it did
not escape the most casual observer. She
was thenceforward as calm and peaceful as
she had ever been boisterous and ill-disposed.
Her words of rage gave place to songs of joy,
and she came to regard every person as bet
ter than herself. Day by day she gave con
vincing proof of the fact that she had been
made anew creature in Christ Jesus. One
day, a short time after the occurrence men
tioned. Dinah was in the yard washing
clothes, joyfully singing as she washed. The
Master called, and, in the twinkling of an
eye. Dinah’s body lay in the yard cold in
death, and her spirit took its flight for the
home beyond the river.— Citron. <s* Const.
The acquittal of ex-Govcrnor Bullock, of
Georgia (formerly), on the charges brought
against him. after all the accusations of swin
dling which seemed susceptible of proof, and
ia view of the fact that he ra:i awav from tbe
State to esoape prosecution, will strike most
people as somewhat singular. The New
York Tribune, formerly one of his supporters,
thinks the verdict of acquittal will hardly
wipe away all reproach from his record, and
adds that it is “impossible with truth to deny
that he was an abominably careless, even if
he was not aeriminal magistrate.” —Baltimore
