Court of Ordinary.
Judge Bell s ( ourt was in session nearly
all day last Monday, and we note the follow
ing proceedings:
Cynthia C. Lipscomb was appointed guar
dian of her minor childred ; M. E. Lipscomb
of her minor son ; H. p. Davis of P. W. Da
vis ; \A . M. Brock of person and property of
Martha Herring; and Sarah T. Boyd of her
minor children.
Leave to sell land was granted to Thomas
Philips, and permission to sell personal pro
perty was granted to various persons.
Letters of Administration were granted to
S. W. Chandler, on the estate of John A.
Strickland, and the Will of Samuel G. Hun
ter was probated and admitted to record.
e wish to add a note that is not record
ed in the proceedings of Judge Bell’s Court:
but no doubt it is deeply engraved on his
mind. The fact is. he has no place to hold a
respectable court. Ladies are often necessa
rily’ compelled to remain in the Ordinary’s
office fi>r several hours at. a time, and it is im
possible for Judge Bell, or any* one else, to
extend them that accommodation which the
dignity of the Court requires. Lawyers are
compelled to use the window sills for tables,
and for the want of a better place, parties are
sometimes compelled to crouch beneath the ta
bles. Seats, don't talk about seats—there is
no room for them.
H. Brock, at the P. 0., keeps a fine
assortment of splendid Cigars.
The Educational Memorial.
Last week, a large number of the most re
spectable citizens of Jackson county’; signed
a Memorial asking Congress to carryout the
objects of the late Educational Convention.
Similar memorials are in circulation in every
county in Georgia, and the number of signers
already reported to the State School Com
missioner is above 3,000.
In South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee.
Missouri, Kentucky, and perhaps other States,
similar petitions are in circulation. Resolu
tions endorsing the action of the Convention,
havejust passed the Senate in Louisianna. and
similar ones will soon be introduced into the
Legislature of Mississippi.
Never before has the action of any body’of
representative men met with such universal
approval as that of the Educational Conven
tion. Its great head-light is the Hon. G. J.
Orr, State School Commissioner, who spent
the prime of his early manhood in our midst,
and who is the first Jackson county’ man tiiat
ever received a classical education.
To Correspondents.
We earnestly request our friends in all
parts of the country’ to keep us advised of
any news that may be of importance to the
public, but we cannot afford to publish every’*
thing that is sent us. Several communica
tions have been received this week that are
inadmissible, the writers having failed to
comply with our rules.
From “Pond Fork Items” we make the
following selections :
Pond Fork Lodge. I. O. G. T.. has been
moved to White’s Hall, near the residence of
Mr. Hugh M. Appleby.
Our farmers are up to the hat-band in bu
siness. sowing oats, breaking up land, build
ing fence. clearing, ditching, &c.
“N. G.” will please write again, but give
us items suitable for publication. Your illus
tration of the literal passage of the silver
bill is good, but inadmissible.
Newspaper Borrowers.
We only want to tell how a man once cured
a newspaper borrower. “Mr. Jones.” said a
lad, “father wants to borrow your paper; lie
only wants to read it.” “Well, go back,”
said Jones,” and ask your father to send me
his supper; I only want to eat it.” The boy
did not come back.
Now listen to the balance of the story.—
Last week our Superior Court was in ses
sion, and we naturally expected to increase
our subscription list, and so we did. for which
wc feel grateful. But more than half the
men whom we asked to subscribe, refused on
the ground that they read the News every
week. Knowing that they were not subscri
bers, we asked for an explanation, and inva-
riably received an answer to the effect that
they borrowed copies from their neighbors
who are subscribers. One gentleman who
never was a subscriber to our paper, actually
chided us for not having published an article
in which lie was prospectively interested.—
Verilv. the world moves, and so do newspa
per borrowers.
Now when a doctor describes a disease, lie
generally suggests some remedy. When
your neighbor asks the loan of your paper.
Forest News, or what not. demand of him a
supper that is a-* expensive as the publication
of your newspaper. By this means you may
grow fat. and at the sjune time place your
neighbor on an equal footing with yourself.—
It is a glorious thing to elevate human nature,
but not at the expense of your own downfall.
Superior Court.
When we went to press last week, the jury
in the case of the State, vs. J. N. Simpkins,
was not full. However, it was finally made
up, and arrangements were made to put the
machinery in motion—wheel into wheel, and
cog into cog. The bands were made tight,
the steam let on. and the great driving wheel
began to revolve; but a-lack-a-day, before
one revolution was made, the main shaft gave
wav, and all the mighty machinery was at a
stand still—the Court was cut in two —Newt
was gone. The officers whose business it
was to keep the wheels greased, called him
back, but some how Newt did not hear them
until the next evening, when he came back
and demanded a trial, but behold, Judge,
jury, witnesses, and everybody else were
gone—Newt was alone—the Court had beat
en him at his own game.
MAYSVILLE CORRESPONDENCE.
Maysville is destined to command a con
siderable trade from Jackson, Banks and
Hall. This conclusion is drawn from the
fact, that our village lies centrally between a
rich belt of farms in the aforesaid counties.
W e predict for Maysville a far better trade
this year than last.
Our merchants are daily receiving goods
with which to accommodate their customers.
W e would, however, suggest to them, as our
friends, to make themselves known through
the columns of the Forest News. We think
it pay’s to advertise. Let us hear from you,
Maysville merchants.
Tiie Maysville Academy is in process of
erection by Messrs. Davis and Meadows.—
This is an important step in the right direc
tion. A good school, will, of course, be a
decided improvement in our midst.. The
school is made up and ready for organization
as soon as the house is completed. We now
want a good Educator, who is devoting his
entire time and talent to teaching.
George Deadwyler has purchased s lot and
is having a residence erected at our village.
George will be quite an addition to the school
and neighborhood. Ah! Mr. Editor, she'll
build up, now !
LneleAbe Atkins has been, for several
weeks, quite sick. We are, however, glad to
Htate that be is now convalescing.
One of our groceries is closed. Paul Ruck
er is erecting anew grocery. The interest
of Temperance is still increasing in our
midst. Squire Pruitt, says whisky lias gone
down, since he was obligated, We want to
see every true-hearted citizen of Jackson
county rally around tlie temperance banner.
We want to see every voter vote with his
mind untrammelled by treating. We desire,
from the bottom of our heart, that the de
pressed and maltreated wife may’ be elevated
to domestic peace and happiness by tempe
rance. \\ edo hope and pray that suffering
and starving widows and children may find a
serene solace in the temperance reform.

Death of Samuel G. Hunter.
Another grand old Roman has passed
away, and left a sadness around the hearth
stone and in the hearts of all those who knew
him, that the sunshine of many days cannot
chase away. Samuel G. Hunter died of
dropsy of the heart, at his residence in this
county, on the 2d inst., in the 75t,h year of
his age, and was buried with Masonic hon
ors, at Cedar Creek, on the following day.—
Mr. Hunter was father of the Hon. James IP
Hunter, who was killed by a negro, in Brooks
county, a few years ago, and brother of John
S. Hunter, the well known Sheriff of Jackson
county.
A Narrow Escape.
Mr. Ilarvie Pace, son of Eusel Pace, came
near being killed last Monday, the 4th inst.,
by’ mules running away with his wagon. He
was hauling pailings, the mules took fright
and ran down a hill near Mr. Garrett Parks,
precicpitating him head foremost on the
double-tree, skinning his head badly. lie
fell between the mules, receiving a severe
kick ; the wagon ran over his head and leg,
bruising him most terribly, but, it is to be
hoped, not fatally. m. r. c.
Edilorial Change.
Mr. J. B. Wilson having sold his interest
in the Franklin county Register, Mr. T. W.
Ayres becomes sole editor and proprietor.—
We are sorry to part with our namesake, for
he always left the footprints of a gentleman
so plainly written upon his paper that we
loved to trace them. However, we have full
and gratifying assurance that Mr. Ayres will
keep the Register abreast with the times, and
up to its present high standard. Gentlemen,
may your future success he as great as your,
past associations have been pleasant and
agreeable.
A New Feature in one of Our Best Papers
Samuel W. Small, of the Atlanta Constitu
tion, will soon sail for Europe, as one of the
staff of Gov. McCormick, who is Commission
er to the Paris Exposition. Mr. Small will
furnish the Constitution with a weekly letter,
descriptive of the great international show,
of France, Frenchmen, and visitors from all
parts of the world. His ability and official
position will enable him to make these letters
intensely interesting; and as they will ap
pear in the weekly edition, we advise those
of wur readers who want a first-class paper
from our State Capitol, to subscribe for the
Weekly Constitution.
Trilmlr of Ursperl.
Planter’s Grange. No. 278. of Patrons of Hus
bandry, have been ealle 1 upon to perform the pain
ful and solemn duty of consigning our beloved
brother, Warren Hawk, to-the narrow confines
of the tomb. This being the first time the sad
messenger of death has broken our ranks, our
hearts have been made sad, and we deeply mourn
the loss of the oldest and one of the most pious
and zealous members of our Grange. In his life
was truly exemplified the truth of the patrons'
•token,’ ”An honot man is the noblest work of
God.” He was. for many years, an exemplary
member of the Baptist church, which lias lost a
model Christian, and the Grange one of its bright
est. jewels. lie was an affectionate husband, kind
father, and obliging neighbor; he has left a sirick
en wife and several children to mourn his irrepa
rable loss. In his last hours, his faith grew strong
er and stronger ; and looking forward with the
eye of faith to those bright mansions beyond the
sky. he could but exhort his friends to so live and
act as to secure the favor of his Heavenly Father—
that when the}' are done with this burdensome
world and are called home, they may meet him in
the Kingdom of God, and enjoy the peaceful pre
sence and the triumphant reign of the blessed Je
sus. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved
family and friends. And while we weep with those
who weep, let us keep in view that great and grand
principle of our Order that “ Heaven and God
are best discerned through tears;” and, that we
must be made perfect through suffering. Let him
rest from his labors ; his Master has called him to
refreshment.
We deeply sympathize with the bereaved fami
ly. and. as a Grange, tender them our condolence.
Resolved, That the above be published in the
Forest Net cs, and that a copy.be furnished the

The Old Capitol.
The Macon Telegraph <s■ Messenger is just
ly opposed to turning the Old Capitol, at
Milledgeville, into a Lunatic Asylum. In
deed, is there any town in Georgia, that
would be willing to have a host of raving mad
men and women quartered at the very doors
of its citizens ? or is there one whose past
history deserves such a punishment ?
This unfortunate class must and will be
cared for ; but not until it is shown that there
is no place in Georgia, away from the busy
scenes of intelligent life that is sufficiently
large to contain an asylum, can there be any
good reason given for locating one in the
midst of a quiet and industrious community
at Milledgeville or nny T where else. Ttiepre*
sence of the maniac is courted by none, but
shunned by all; and the passing multitude
make his own pangs more intolerable. Then
let the State look well to the best interests of
those who cannot help themselves, but not to
tiie serious discomfort of some of its best cit
. if .•;
lzens.
Nor do we believe that the public property
at Milledgcrille should, under the present
financial pressure of the times, pass out of
t.'-e possession of the State. The sacrifice
would be toq ( great to justify the measure;
besides, justice to “ the Halls of our Fathers”
demands that they should remain intact—
especially wlhmi they can be utilized in such
a way as to iie of material advantage to the
public welfare. To secure this, let the Old
Capitol be turned into a Practical Agricultu
ral School , so that the farmers of Georgia
will not meet with an accusation from a high
ly respectable source, that they sat in the
late Agricultural Convention, held at Atncr
ieus. and “ were highly interested in the
splendid speeches made by the lawyers. dc-
Jturs. editors, ware-housemen ami chronic
office-seekers who generally find themselves
delegates to these Conventions.”
We wish the farmers of Georgia to do t heir
own talking, and so prepare themselves that
they can see the laws of nature in the light
of science, and as understood, but not prac
ticed by the great mass of scientific men.
We do not mean to say that the above hon
orable class ■*-of men should not study and
teach agriculture and its kindred sciences;
but we do mean to saw that farmers them
selves should be qualified to do so. Then
the cream of old mother earth would he
drawn to the surface, where all could gather
a bountiful supply ; but as the matter lias
stood, for lime out of mind, its richness and
profusion lias only been speculated upon and
but few have tasted it.
What is all theory worth, if the masses arc
not sufficiently intelligent to practically ap
ply and use it ? ■
The Wife-Roaster and His Furnace.
One of the greatest insults to the decency
and civilization of the age. 19 the cremation
of the late Mrs. Ben. Pittman, in the human
roasting furnace of Dr. LeMoyne, at Wash
ington, Pa. Nor is the unseemly levity and
Satanic boldness of her husband, Mr. Ben.
Pittman, one whit behind the exultation of
the howling maniac in his eel!.
His light-hearted commentary on his wife's
personal habits, and his taunt thrown at a
million decept women, that his wife never
could have been what she proved to be, if she
had worn corsets and high-heeled shoes, to
gether with his boasted jov at seeing her love
ly form melt away in the scorching flames of
a roaring furnace, would be, if universally
felt and practiced, sufficient, to turn earth into
one great preparatory school for the lowest
regions of eternal fire and brimstone.
It is said that Dr. LeMoyne and his bone
roasting furnace are rapidly growing into dis
favor, and that thoughts of blowing up the
latter are seriously entertained. In all can
dor we suggest that one more experiment be
made by placing Pittman and his wife-burn
er, LeMoyne, in their favorite retort, and then
touch it off with about two hundred pounds
of powder, and let the thing go.
That Terrible Scourge.
Fever and ague, and its congener, billions remit
tent. besides affections of the stomach, liver and
bowels, produced by miasmatic air and water, arc
both eradicated and prevented by the use of Hos- ;
tetter's Stomach fritters, a purely vegetable clix- j
ir. indorsed by physicians, and more extensively
used as a remedy for tiie above class of disorders,
as well as.for many others, than any medicine of
the age. A languid circulation, a torpid state of
the liver, a want of vital stamina, are conditions
m-culiarly favorable to malarial diseases. They
ire. however, safely remedied hv the great Pre
ventive, which, by invigorating the system and en
dowing it with regularity as well as vigor, provides
it with a resistant power which enables it to with
stand disorders not only of malarial type, hut a
host of others to which feeble and ill-regulated sys
tems are subject. The Bitters are a safe as well
■as searching ora.dicant, and have widely superced
ed that dangerous drug, quinine, which palliates
blit does-not eradicate malaria.

GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
Of the Grand Jury, Feb. Term,
Jackson Sup. Court, 1878.
WE, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for
the above Term of the Court, respectfully
beg leave to make the followng General Prescut
men ts ;
By proper committees, we have examined into
the various matters with which we were charged,
and find the Count}* officers are under good and
sufficient bonds, and their books and offices gen
erally, as well kept, as the surrounding circum
stances justify.
We tind that many of the Constables of the Coun
ty have not filed theft bonds with the Ordinary as
the law directs* and ttsk the Justices of the Peace
to see to this matter it once.
The roads arc generally not in good condition;
and we urge the Commissioners of the various
militia districts to hare them worked and put in
good order as soon as it is possible to do so.
We recommend the Ordinary to havo a bridge
built across Allen's Fork, oh the public foad
leading from C. T. Whitehead’s to Mrs. Gilbert’s.
The hooks of the Justices of the Po.lce, and No
taries Public have been examined, and we find
them kept in conformity to lrtw, with tile excep
tion of itemizing cost bills.
There being a vacancy in the office of Notary
Public in and for the 405th I)ist„ G. M., we re
commend W. S. Crislcr for that position.
The Jail is in a good and safe condition ; but we
think it should be kept more cleanly than found
at present. : ' '
u e. as a body, have made a close examination
of the Court House, and decide that it is not only
unsafe, hut that it is wholly unsuited for the
trunsaction of the business that comes before the
Superior Court of the County. We do, therefore,
recommend the building of anew one on a more
eligible and appropriate site than where the pre
sent one now stands. We further recommend
that the new Court House be built in a style cor
responding to the wealth and dignity of the coun
ty ; and that the work he done as soon as it is
possible to do so—and that the material of the
present house be used in the new one, as far as it
can he utilized.
J. L. Williamson. Tax Collector, made the fol
lowing report for the year 1877 :
Amount of Tax levied for county pur
poses for 1577 $>,846.19

$5,816.19 $5,840.19
For the disbursement of the above amount of
money, received and paid out by the Tax Collect
or. we tind the proper vouchers.
By examination of the County Treasurer’s
bosks, we tind that that he has received from the
Tax Collector. $5,500.40

ruary, 1878, j 3 ’ 8 "' 92
$1,684.72 $1,684.72
For the above amount, wo find the proper
vouchers and cash in hand as above stated.
Upon examination of the SheritT’s books, we
find them well and faithfully kept in all respects
We h ave also examined flic hooks and papers
of the County School Commissioner, and find that
he has receives! from all sources, for school pur
poses. during the year 1877, the sum of $3,104.67.
and has. as shown by proper vouchers, disbursed
the entire amount to 57 schools, and paid .57.87
cents on each dollar of the entire school debt of
the county. The County Board of Education
made a written report to our body,, approving all
bis official acts, which we heartily endorse.
We also find the Ordinary’s hooks kept in excel
lent style. and showing a faithful and. as far as we
ran see. a correct account of all business coming
before that officer. For the hooks and general pro
ceedings of the Clerk of the Superior Court, we
say the same as for the Ordinary, and think that
all our officers have faithfully discharged their
duties.
The building of the Northeastern Railroad hav
ing considerably changed the location of the old
Lime Kiln or Clarkesvillc road, we respectfully
ask that the proper authorities locate the said
road in such manner as will legally define it.
We recommond that the Sheriffs be paid Fifteen
Dollars each, for the present week’s services ;
also, that Eli Minish and Marsh Adams he paid
two dollars each, for extra services as Bailiffs this
week.
After a careful examination of the matter, we
recommend that not over three and one-half
tenths of one per cent, be levied on the State Tax
for county purposes.
Finding that names are upon the Pauper List
that are not entitled to any part of the Pauper
fund, we do, therefore, recommend that increased
care he taken in the future, to appoint such per
sons in the various Districts of the Countv, as
will report such names as are legally entitled to
support from the county. We think if this law
was carefully carried out, the necessities for
building a Poor-House would be materially dimin
ished.
We respectfully take this occasion to return the
thanks of our body to Congress for their late ac
tion in the Bill remonetizing silver, and hope they
will continue their labors until the Resumption
Act is repealed and provision made to pay the
