Mr Editor : —We have had a fine season ;

eight hours. The crops were generally in
good condition— free from grass—and now
look promising. The wheat is all harvested,

Jackson Cos. Sabbath School Convention.
In pursuance of two notices heretofore pub
lished in the Forest News, it is hereby noti
fied and requested that the Superintendents,
and one other delegate from each and every
Sabbath School in Jackson county, meet in
Jefferson, Ga., on Sunday', June 30th. 1878,
at 11 o’clock A. M., for the purpose of organ
izing the Sabbath School interests in the
county. This is in keeping with the move
ments of the great International Sunday
School Convention, whose recent session was
held in Atlanta, in April of this year. We
hope every Sunday’ School in Jackson county
will co-operate in this matter.

ty One of our young swells, desirous of
making a good impression on his loved one
last Sunday, concluded that he could not
find a better means to further his suit than
by improving his personal appearance.
How to do this was the next question, lie
finally seized upon the happy thought of
blacking the down upon his upper lip ; no
sooner thought of than it was done. But,
alas! there was not enough down to protect
the tender skin from the corroding effects of
the dye. So, now our young friend sadlv
perambulates our streets with his upper lip
looking as if he had been stung by' a swarm
of angry’ bees.
ty Mr. J. J. Cook, the boss gardener of
1 o
Jackson county, gave us a call last Saturday,
and left a substantial reminder behind, in the
shape of beans, squashes, cucumbers and
corn. The beans were the largest we have
seen, and the flavor was fine, and the other
vegetables were not behind them. Mr. Cook
is certainly a good gardener; he showed us
the head of a squash vine that had at least
eighty well formed y’oung squashes, and
plenty more coming. It was the greatest
curiosity we have seen in that line. We in
tend going to see his garden, as many' say it
is a curiosity’.
LyCapt. A. T. Bennett to the front again,
with cotton blooms this time. The Captain
says he had some last Saturday. This takes
the prize in Jackson county; we have heard
of none earlier. The Captain will lia.’e that
patch all picked out, ginned and sold, and
he gone to the Legislature, before we pay our
guano bill.
iy We made a grievous mistake last week
about those cradles Frank Pendergrass had
for sale. We should have said grain cradles ;
anyhow, that is the kind we meant. You
need not call now, as they are all gone. We
did not ask if he had a call for the other
kind, but expect he did.
ry Henry Human says he is under many
obligations to “Uncle Joe” for his dorg,
and thinks if he would go down to Atlanta,
he could get fine sale for a lot of them, espe
cially' if he will make a cross that will not
kill sheep. lie thinks it would beat raising
Jerseys, Durhams or Southdowns.
tyWe that on last Sunday quite a
storm, with plenty of hail, visited several
parts of our county', doing considerable dam
age to the young crops.

What lie Thinks of Binding the Sheaves —
An Independent Lick—llow They Get
Dropped — Gen. Black's Advice—Standing
Forever — Snakes' Eggs.
Mr. Editur :—The harvest is over. Great
expectations have not been realized. Farm
in’ is a good deal like fishin’. Every time
you start out you can just see yourself catch
in’ ’em ; but after tryin’ every hole in the
creek you go home sorrowfully, with a fisher
man’s luck. But we are not complainin’ by
no means, for we’ve got wheat enuf for biskit
every day and light-bread on Sunday, and a
few bushels to spare for them angels that’s
to cum along unawares sum of these days.
We finished cuttin’ the oat crop thismornin’,
and what with them and the clover already
housed, the cattle are safe for another year.
I imagine they look sassy and thankful; but
as for me, Mr. Editur, I am a used lip indi
vidual. Durin’ harvest I have had to be a
binder, and if you don’t know what that is,
ask Harris. The ends of these fingers which
are now inscribin’ this epistel are in a bad
fix. Skarifide and stuck up with bull nettles
and briars, they are as sore as a selioohboy’s
bile. There was sum variation to my busi
ness, such as catchin’ young rabbits, and
findin’ partridge nests, and pickin’ dewber
ries ; but the romance wore off the first day,
and by the end of the next my wife says I
was as humble a man as any woman could
desire. Its a mit.y purty thing to write about
and make up oads and pomes. The golden
grain, the manly reapers, thestruttin’ sheaves,
the song of the harvesters, and purty Miss
Ruth coquettin’ around the fields of old man
Boaz, and “how jokin’ did they drive their
team afield,” is all so sweet and nice to a
man up a tree with an timbrel, but if them
poets had to tie wheat half a day in a June
sun, their sentimentality would henceforth
seek another snbjek. I tried swingin’ the
cradle awhile, but somehow or somehow else,
I couldn’t exactly get the lick. It wasent
the kind of a cradle I’ve been used to, and
I’m too old a dog to learn new tricks now.
The swing of the reaper’s cradle is a very
peculiar motion—very regular in its irregu-
larity, and goes for the weeds and bushes and
briars and the wheat—all the same. Some
how or other it reminds me of an independent
candidate a side wipin’ around to get ofils in
a twistifide way. Well, I like independence,
and that’s why I like farmin’—nobody to
look to for a livin’ but Providence. I like
to see a man independent in opinion and in
action, too, and if he suckseeds, it shows that
there is gum in him—but it won’t do to run
that skedule too long or too fur, in politics
or religion. Bonapart and Beecher tride it,
and if they couldn’t keep it up, nobody can’t.
Everybody has got to fall into line some
time. For a while all sorts of people will pat
an independent on the back and say “go it
my larkey ; bully for j’ou,” but before long
they’ll begin to think over what a good, fat
thing lie’s got, and then human nature, which
you know is as mean as the devil, will crop
out, and the next time they’ll drop him so
easy he won’t know it. On the whole, the
aspirin man had better go along smoothly
with his party' or his church or his copartners,
as the case may be. General Black says he
to me, say’s he, “Bill, as you are goin to
farmin let me give you a piece of advice:
Don't go off on new lines, but watch your
nabors and do purty much as they do.”
Well, he didn’t mean that if the nabors went
bar footed in the summer time and slept In a
shirt and washed their feet in a skillet, and
their darters worked in the field and dipped
snuff, we must do so too —by no means. But
he meant to say that the kind of farmin that
is sustained by the majority of farmers was
mity upt to be the best.
Jesso withgitin offis—the best way is the
old way. It may be, however, that Provi
dence does not raise up a man as an instru
ment to reform society, but the instrument is
very likely to think he is doin it all on his
own hook, and he’ll keep on reformin till the
milleniurn if the people will let him. I think
it would he well enough for him to report
progress sometime, and maybe the good Lord
would let his servant depart in peace. But
you let a feller git a taste of Washington and
it does look onpossible to even get him away
from there. “ 1 will stand fur re-election.”
Of course he will, but it docs seem to me that
if I had held a rotaten office right straight
along for forty years, I would hunt the shade
of Liberty Hall and quit. Why, sur, there's
forty men in that district been patiently’
waitin’ twenty years for his chance, and lie's
now proposin’ to outlive 'em all and himself
too. Spose he does want to die in harness,
what's that to Berry Houck ? There’s sum
other gentlemen worthy’ and well qualified
who would take the gear kindly, and work in
’em, too. But if I had a horse that wore out
his breechin a boldin’ back up hill, and
hadentpulled nary pound in seventeen years,
he wouldent die in my harness, shore. He
mout hunt another wagin. I've no idea of
todying a man who toadys cverbodv and
averthing I don’t like, from Gen. Grant down
to a patent medicine, and there’s a heap of
folks my way of thinkin’. Every time I
think about it I hear myself exclaimin’,
“Times's out —next.” Yours.

and Sister-in-Law, and then Dashes Out llis

Special dispatch to the Constitution.
Amekicus. Ga., June 4.—Our city was
startled this morning by the report of the most
horrible and
RLOOD CURDLING TRAGEDY
that has ever occurred in this section of the
State. On yesterday afternoon a man named
Caldwell, living about fourteen miles south
west of Americas, near Davidson’s mill,
MURDERED ITIS WIFE,
three children and his wife’s sister, and then
after repeated efforts killed himself. From
the appearance of the bodies of the victims
and other evidences, it is believed that he
killed
TIIE THREE CHILDREN
and their mother, with a smoothing iron.—
These bodies were found in the house. The
body of liis sister-in-law was found n ‘ar the
corner of the house, and near it the instru
ment of death in the shape of a grabbing
lioo,
STREWN WITH IILOOD.
The two older children were at school, one in
the fielil and one little one ran under the
house and escaped. After enacting the ter
rible tragedy’, the murderer
JUMPED INTO THE WELL,
but failing to materially’ injure himself, he
crawled out and then got on top of the dwel
ling house and jumped off and was
PICKED UP INSENSIBLE
by two negroes, who had been attracted by
his cries as he stood upon the roof shouting
and gesticulating. lie recovered in a short
while, and sent the negroes off after some
neighbors, and then went to the gin house and
climbed to its loftiest point and threw him
self
HEADLONG TO THE GROUND,
and expired almost instantly’. T.
Second Dispatch.
Amertcus, Ga., June 4. —Yesterday after
noon at three o’clock, fourteen miles West of
here, the negro laborers of John W. Cald
well, a well-to-do farmer forty-five years old,
saw him
STANDING ON IIIS HOUSE TOP,
waiving his hands. They started to the house
and met his little girl. Emma, five years old,
who said, “pa has killed ma.” As they ar
rived at the house, the laborers say, Caldwell
jumped to the ground. The blow stunned
Liin, and they took him up and carried him
in doors, where they saw Mrs. Caldwell, her
sister, Miss Mitchell, and three of the chil
dren,
LYING SIDE BY SIDE,
all bruised by blows from a heavy iron, and
gallons of blood puddled about on the floor.
The laborers laid Caldwell down and ran.
He got up, and following,
BEGGED THEM TO KILL HIM.
He then went to the well and jumped in,
got. out and jumped in again, got out again
and went to the gin house, where he
MET IIIS OLDEST SON,
sixteen years old, and told him he had killed
all the people at the house, and was going to
kill himself. The son dissuaded him, but lie
climbed to the roof, and
THREW HIMSELF TO THE GROUND,
producing death instantly. When your re
porter reached the scene at 9 o’clock this
morning,
A HORRIBLE SPECTACLE
met his view. Caldwell and his wife lay on
one bed, the three children and Miss Mitch
ell on another, and with the most ghastly
wounds upon their heads and faces.
A IIEAYY BAR OF IRON,
a hoe, and a smoothing iron, were the wea
pons, and were marked with blood and hair,
The victims had been killed at various places
about the house, and then dragged together
in the dining-room bv the fiend. The neigh
bors gathering had placed them on the beds.
The floor and yard were marked all over with
Caldwell’s
FOOTS-PKINTS IN BLOOD
The little girl, Emma, that escaped, states
I that he asked her if she wanted to live, and
1 then told her to run. Many neighb6r6 stated 4
to yuur reporter that they thought Caldwell
PERFECTLY SANE WHEN HE COMMITTED THE
DEEtI.
Ilis oldest son stated that his father was
on the plantation in the forenoon, and at din
ner was morose and ate little, stating that he
would remain at home in the afternobH.-
Caldwell had eight children. Three were at
j school. Those killed are Nancy Alice, aged
I ten ; Robert Homer, aged six ; and Leila,
aged two. Mrs Caldwell was forty, and Miss
Mitchell thirty. The latter was killed in the
yard while trying to escape, being brained
with a hoe. All the wounds were on the
heads. Neighbors running to the scene saw
Caldwell jump from the gin house. He stated
to some negroes to run for Representative
Davison, his near neighbor, as
HE HAD “PLAYED HELL,”
but was in his senses. Your reporter learned
that lie had been aberrated for some time, but
neighbors deny this. He was usually a mild,
quiet man and a good citizen, in good cir
cumstances. Most of them present thought
that
DOMESTIC TROUBLE CONCERNING MISS MITCH
ELL
was the cause of the tragedy. She has lived
with Caldwell twenty years. The family phy
sician thinks different, from the neighbors
concerning Miss Mitchell. There are five
children left, two of whom are nearly grown.
Caldwell was a good farmer, highly respected
and a church member. It is thought, from
the statements of little Emma, that Mrs.
Caldwell was the first victim. The Coroner's
jury found a verdict in accordance with the
above facts. B.

“ For wc all do fade as the leaf.” The unerring
shaft of death has again pierced our circle and re
moved from our midst, to that fairer, better land
of eternal duration, our beloved and highly esteem
ed frivud and citizen, -Judge John Appleby.
Our community is bereft of a bright and shining
light; a grief-stricken family of a devoted hus
band, father and protector, ami the writer of this
notice, who has known and esteemed the deceased
for many years, in his pleasant and hospitable
home and in a business capacity, has lost the best
and truest of friends.
It has seldom been the sad duty of the writer to
record the many virtues of one so dearly beloved ;
so benevolent to the needy; so kind and gentle to
his family ; withal, so quiet and meek. There was
no ostentation about Judge Appleby ; no desire
of pomp or pageantry ; what lie did or thought he
made no ostentatious display of, but was ever a
friend to the poor, the widow and the fatherless,
lie was so gentle and unassuming, it is a pleasure
to recall his many excellent qualities, both of
mind and heart; just and upright in all his deal
ings. He was never known to he the author of
any sentiment or action unworthy a high-toned
Christian gentleman. Judge A. had few equals,
and his virtues will live long embalmed in the
hearts of his man v friends. We will sadly miss
him in society ; the community lias lost one of its
most useful members. Open as the noonday to
charity, all who were so fortunate as to know the
deceased will sadly miss him. To every member
of the family, especially those who. far away in
the West, were unable to meet by his new made
grave, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. To the
deeply bereaved at home, wo would say weep not,
"our great loss is his eternal gain.” lie lias
passed over the cold, silent river of death, and
entered the pearly gates of the " City Celestial,”
out of the darkness, out of the storm,
“ Where the wicked cease from troubling.
And the weary arc at rest.”

Trie stomach is the labratory ofthe system, in
which certain mysterious processes are constantly
going on. These results in the production of that
wonderful vivifying agent the blood, which in a
state of health rushes laden with the elements of
vitality to the remotest parts of the system. But
when the .stomach is semi-paralyzed by dyspep
sia. blood manufacture is carried on imperfectly,
the circulation grows thin and sluggish, and the
system suffers in consequence. Moreover, indi
gestion reacts upon the liver and bowels, render
ing the first sluggish and the latter constipated.
The brain also suffers by sympathy, and sick
headaches, sleeplessness and nervous symptons
are engendered, llostetter's Stomach Hitters re
forms this state of things, gives permanent tone
and regularity to the stomach and its associate or
gans. the bowels and liver, and ensures complete
nourishment and increased vigor of the system.
It is the most popular as well as the most efficient
anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America.
SMITH'S WORM OIL.

Dear Slit: —Last night I called at the New

bottle of “ Worm Oil,” and gave it to my little
boy as directed. This morning he passed thirty
one worms. 1 had previously tried other Worm
Medicines. W. A. Bain.

A few nights since, I gave my son one dose of

Sir :—My child, five years old. had symptoms
of worms. I tried calomel and other worm med
icines, but failed to expel any worms. Seeing Mr.
Bain's certificate, I got a vial of your Worm Oil.

second dose so many were passed i did not count

What the People Say About the
Jackson County Nursery.
Oconee Cos., Ga.. May loth, 1878.
Mr. J. G. .Justice. Marcus. Ga. :*
Dear Sir —The Fruit Trees I obtained from your
Nursery four years ago are now bearing, and the
fruit comes fully up to your representation. It is
the finest I have ever raised, and I have trees in
the same orchard from various other Nurseries in
Georgia. Tennessee and Virginia.
Respectfully, D. 11. MALCOM.
I obtained from Mr. J. G. Justice, of this coun
ty, two hundred Apple Trees, of which I lost none
by transplanting. I sold last season, the fourth
year from transplanting of said trees, fifty dollars
worth ofthe finest fruit I ever saw grown in this
country, after four families on my place had used
what fruit they wanted. I kept some of the ap
ples perfectly sound until the middle of May.
