TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
Red'notion in PricO from $2.00
To SL6O!
Wo have determined to reduce the present
rate of subscription for the Forest News, in
accordance with the spirit of the times and
the closeness of money natters in the conn
try. We take this step after careful delibe
ration and conference with many friends of
the paper, and hope to be eastained by an
increased patronage, in the shape of new
subscribers, that will compensate for the sa
crifice we make in this reduction. It costs
money, and cash at that, to procure material
and make up our paper, and we can but illy
afford to send out the paper for less than the
rate heretofore charged and make any profit;
but we have determined to try it any way*, as
the necessity of the times seems to demand
the reduction.
ft is therefore announced, that the sub
scription price of the paper from this time
will be, for one year, $1.50 ; for six months,
$1.00; for 3 months, 50 cents. All who
have subscribed for the paper since the pre
sent management took charge of the same,
will be furnished with the paper at the same
rates as those now subscribing. We hope to
retain all, or nearly so, of the former subscri
bers, and to add to our list a large number
of new and paying subscribers.
Will not our friends in every section of the
county an<l adjoining counties, bestir them
selves to get up and forward ns new subscri
bers. We have, by this arrangement, placed
the paper in reach of every family in the
county, and we intend to give it more gene
ral circulation than it has ever yet had.
Support your county paper, citizens of
Jackson, and our word for it, j'ou will be
benefitted more than double the subscription
price.

HARMONY GROVE DOTS.

Just any kind of weather you could wish
for. m
Harmony Grove only furnishes one Juror
for the next term of the Superior Court, and
be wants to be excused.
Hon. W. I. Pike paid ns a visit on the 11th,
and from the way he shook himself all over,
while examining his client, we are ready to
believe that he is enjoying the best of health.
Claud Estes paid us a visit on the same day,
and made a good impression.
Mack Wood says that anew road will have
to be made from this place to Jefferson, or
else take two days to make a trip with the
mail.
A negro boy, about 12 years old, had one
of his feet cut off last week, by getting on
the log for the purpose of taking a ride while
Mr. H. R. Cromer was sawing it into lumber.
Mrs. D. M. Nix, a highly respected lady
of our town, died on the morning of the 10th.
The Editor of the Forest News appeared in
our town, last week, and some of his most
intimate friends failed to recognize him. We
understand that he made a trip to Atlanta
and was worked over in a barber-shop. If
this conjecture is not right, it is hoped he will
explain.
The Carnesville and Harmony Grove Nar
row Guage Railroad, will, it is thought, soon
be built; and, no doubt, it would be extend
ed to Jefferson, if there was any way to get
around the hill at the river, and there cer
tainly must be a shorter and better way, even
for a wagon road.
34 to 1. is the way the vote on “incorpora
tion” stood. From this, all will sec that
Harmony Grove is not divided to hurt; that’s
right—“ united we stand !” butthis vote don’t
make us any side-walks, by a long shot.
The school at this place promises to be a
good one. Prof. Parker understands his bu
siness and gives general satisfaction.
If reports be true, Athens sells goods
cheaper at retail than at wholesale ; no doubt
this will build her up a whopping wholesale
trade in a few years.

IWaysville Correspondence.
Editor Forest Neius : —Allow space in your
valuable paper for the chronicling of a few
incidents of our village, on the N. E. R. R.
The Independent Order of Good Templars
met on last Saturday night, according to pre
vious appointment, for the installation of
officers. D. C. Oliver, of Banks, officiated in
this important work. We believe the Good
Templars have done and are destined to do,
a great and good work in our vicinity. Think.
Mr. Editor, of the many disordered and cor
rupt hearthstones made pure and happy by
this noble Order. There were nine additions
last Saturday night, and still they - cry. “ We
are tired and disgusted at drunkenness.” We
thank God, that we live in a vicinity where
men and women foster surh noble aspira
tions. That clever gentleman, Hugh Atkins,
is re-elected Worthy Chief. Ah ! he smiles
now; who would not smile ?
T. J. Carr, G. W. Brown. Hugh Atkins
and Boone & Alexander sell guano to the
farmers, and strange to say, they all sell the
best. Hugh says when a man gets out of
employment, he goes to selling guano. We
infer, from his acts, that, he is out of employ
ment.
Boone & Alexander, Carr and Atkins, sell
us goods for cash, or on time, if we will pro
mise to pay, sure, on the Ist of Nov. These
merchants are all fair dealers.
Bowlin Wallace is our blacksmith: Mr.
Wallace stands at the head of his profession.
P. P. Casey is our Post Master; makes a
good one; gets fighting ma.l at times, but
can’t help himself.

an}’*point on the N. E. Railroad, and receive
the cotton in Athens, next fall. Send them
yotir orders.
The Directors.
Of the Northeastern Railroad will, we learn,
soon have a meeting for the purpose of tak- 1
ing into consideration the question of aiding
in the building of a Narrow-Gauge Railr iad
from Harmony Grove to Carnesvillc. We
have seen several letters from tiiose in auth
ority, in Carnesvillc, to prominent citizens of
Athens asking their aid in the enterprise. |
Athens is willing to help her neighbors and
friends in Franklin. We will refer to the
matter again shortly.— Athens Bonner.
Our people arc very anxiously waiting to
learn the result of this meeting, and trust
that it will he held at an early date, and that
the Directors will see the great benefit the
Northeastern would receive from this road
as a feeder. There arc thousands of halos of
cotton hanlod annually on wagons, thirty,
forty, and fifty miles in almost every direc
tion. which would pass over the Northeastern
Road to Athens, if this road was built; In
sides the large amount of fertilizers used by a
large ami productive scope of country, which
is now hauled the same distance as they are
forced to haul their cotton. In fact, every
thing that the farmer, merchant, and mechan
ic. for a large section of country, has to pur
chase, would he shipped over the Northeastern
Road. We think it policy to the Northcas
tern Railroad, as well as the citizens of Ath
ens, at this period, and under the existing
circumstances, to aid in the building of this
road, even if it should force them to postpone
for a short time the extension of the Xortb
; eastern, and we feel assured, after they
| examine all the facts closely, and bring to
i bear the proper evidence, they will very clear
!ly see that it will be policy.— Curnesville
j Register.
Day of Fasting and Prayer.

pline of the M. E. Church, South, appointed
a day of fasting and prayer, for the members

“ Friends ef the Olden Time.”
When looking tyack through the telescope
of time forever gone, we 9e in fancy pic
ture, the faces of long lost friends, it is re*
freshing to know that they still live and pros
per, and that they have not forgotten us. To
us, it seems there-have been tiroes when the
4un shone brighter, when the waters ran
smoother, and the delights of social inter
course were more endearing than now—when
friendships were formed for a lifetime, and
selfishness and little things that no gentleman
ought to notice, were never known to break
them. These thoughts have been suggested
by an article that appeared in a recent num
ber of the Covington sT(ir, a fir9t-class week
ly, published at Covington, Ga., by J. W. An
derson, Esq. Our readers will please excuse
us for copying the article ; for we do so not
to show what is aaid of us, but give a good
reason for what we wish to say ourselves.
“The name of G. J. N. Wilson now ap
pears at the mast head of the Forest News,
published at Jefferson, Jackson county, as
the editor of that paper. He succeeds Mr.
Malcom Stafford in the editorial management
of the News. Mr. Wilson is a vigorous and
forcible writer, and will continue to make the
Forest News what it ever has been, one of
the best, interior papers in the state. But
the name of 0.3. N. Wilson brings to ns
many pleasant recollections of the past. It
carries us back through the dark vista of a
quarter of a century, to the days when he
taught an “ old field school” at Black’s Creek,
in Madison county, and we were his pupil.
Many were the lessons learned there from
his lips, and many were the heated contests
we had over the then (to us) interesting game
of “town ball.” But from these pleasant
and ever memorable scenes fortune directed
our feet in different paths, and since 1851.
wo have never had the pleasure of meeting
our friend and preceptor. Y'et he has not
been forgotten in all these long vears. The
name of General James Nash Wilson was
too indelibly impressed upon our youthful
heart to be easily erased by time, and the
sight of it in the Forest News, brings back to
our memory the scenes referred to with all
the vividness in which they occurred. And
though the many lessons lie then taught us
were “ not bread oast upon the waters,” still,
we trust they were not altogether lost. May
fortune ever favor him.”
At the time spoken of, J. W. Anderson
was the 704th name on our School Register.
Since that time, 3351 names have been ad
ded ; but of all these, no one ever gave high
er indications of true greatness than the 704th
number. The soul of honor, industry, obe
dience, and of all those grand qualities that
go to illustrate the bright side of human na
ture. J. W. Andersorr was born to be a gen
tleman of the first class ; nor are these quali
ties more plainly written in the splendid
achievements of his manhood, than they were
in the guileless history of his boyhood. And
how life-giving were those “heated contests”
we had over “town ball, bull pen. the foot
race.” and various other athletic exercises
that required the strength of giants to beat
rrs. Only two days ago, we spent a few hoiirs
with George Freeman and John Ilix, two no
ble classmates of J. W. Anderson. They
plaved with us in the same games, and on the
same terms of friendship at old Black’s
Creek ; anrl though they have for many years
been lost to us in a distant State, the}' met us
with the same warm hand of friendship that
they gave us in their early youth, and which
we now so gladly receive from the Covington
Star. Where the smiles of Heaven beam the
brightest, and where its showers of earthly
happiness are poured down in the richest
profusion, there be your lot. our noble boys.
Famine and Distress.
T<> those who live in a laud of plenty, and
where even hunger is seldom felt longer than
it takes a man to go from his place of husi
ness to his home, the following, from the N.
Y. World, will sound strangely singular:
“There is a great deal of suffering among
the poor of Hoboken. The fund setapartby
the citv for the. relief of the poor is exhaust
ed, and those who were dependent upon it
for the necessaries of life are now thrown
upon the charity of their neighbors, who. un
fortunately in man}’ cases, arc unable to give
them much aid.
Couneilmen Plunkett. Schmidt and G'ressy
went to Trenton on Saturday and requested
Assemhlyman Lewis to secure the immediate
passage of a bill empowering the Common
Council of Hoboken to appropriate $3,000 or
SI,OOO to the poor fund. It is expected that
this bill will be passed early this week. In
the meantime, the distress is very great; five
hundred families, each averaging four per
sons, are without food or fuel. The bodies
of two old men who died at the close of last
week were allowed to remain six days in
their wretched hovels unhuried, neither their
friends nor the Poor Commissioners being
able to pay the funeral expenses. A gener
ous undertaker ultimately buried the bodies.
There is an old man who has been sick for
six weeks, and in that time ho has had hard
ly anything to eat. When the city physician
visited him, the old man was found to he
slowly <lying of starvation. Numerous other
cases of an equally distressing nature are re
ported from day to daj*. The office of the
poor-master is constantly boseiged by aged
people and sick men, women and children
pleading for aid. Mr. Lewis says the condi
tion of affairs is becoming alarming, and if
something is not done immediately, many
persons will starve to death. The appropri
ation for the poor for 1877-78 was $4,700,
Of this SI,OOO was used during last summer,
and the remainder since the beginning of this
winter.”
An Appropriate Hymn.
The Rochester Express says : “The story
is told, and it is said to be entirely true, that
at the recent dedication of a Baptist Church
in this county the ceremony of immersion
was performed for the first time in that church
by a well-known Baptist minister of this
city. When lie had entered the water, and
while waiting for the candidate, the minister
suggested that somebody should sing an
appropriate hymn. One of the deacons who
i stood near by heard the suggestion, and
without thinking, struck up “Pull for the
| Shore.” The hymn proved to be so suggest
! ive that neither the minister nor the congre
> gat ion could refrain from an audible smile
! for some time, and the ceremony had to he
j postponed nntil the preacher could recover
' Tin gravity.

The success of the leading literary pdpet of the
West, Tiik Chicago Ijcdoer. is truly remafka
ble. Since its introduction to the reading public,
six years ago. the Ledger has steadily advanced
in favor, and i3 ttow 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 it the same tittle sell it at a
price consistent with the present hard times.—
That they have succeeded, and well too, the thou
sands of readers of Thfj 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 Thk
Ledger is only $1.50 pet year, postage paid, and
it 5# 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

Bob Howard, (col.) swore out a warrant
against Boas Duke, (col.) one day this week,
for assault with intent to murder. A pre

Carty, which resulted in binding over the
defendant to the Superior Court, in a sum of
of S2OO. Silman & Simpkins appeared for
the prosecution. Pike & McCarty, and W. C. &
R. S. Howard lor the defendant. We learn
that the defendant introduced no testimony,
and that his counsel are hopeful of eventual
ly clearing him.

We have j list looked over a late number of
the Cedartowii Record , a neat, weekly paper,
edited by W.J. Waddey, at Cedar town, Ga.
If this be a fair sample of the Record, and
we have good reason for thinking that it is.
we have no hesitation in saying that it is one
of our very' best weeklies, and well deserves
the patronage of the whole country. The
following extract from its columns shows the
goodness of somebody's heart -
There is a lonely grave in Haralson county,
of aconfederate soldier who died while on the
march with Hood from Atlanta to the rear of
Sherman’s army. His name, as near as we
could learn, was D. J. or I. Meura, Maury
or Murray, of Cos. K. 63d Ga. Regt. He is
buried in the woods near the public road but
some distance from any house. He was
buried without a coffin and his grave is with
out an enclosure. Any information with
regard to the whereabouts of his relatives or
friends will be thankfully received. The
undersigned will give all information neces
sary to those who may w’ish to know whe-e
this man is buried. D. H. Ledbetter,
Gedartown. Polk Cos., Ga.
