Notes from Marcus.
Mr. Editor : — I will give you a few notes
concerning the movements in this section.
There were a number of Baptist brethren
and sisters, on the 16th inst., with sufficient
vouchers of being Baptists of good standing,
at the school house near A. T. Yearwood’s,
assisted by a competent Presbytery, organ
ized themselves into anew church, denomi
nated “White Plain’s Church.” Also, on
le Hth inst. a number of Methodist breth.
ren and sisters, assisted by the itinerant of
tlle Mulberry Circuit, at Wood’s Camp
ground, constituted themselves into anew
d'urch. We think this speaks well for the
Professing characters of our section, and
their eagerness to promote Christ's kingdom
u Pon the earth.

are topic with many.

THE LIVE MERCHANTS OF ATHENS.
Where to Buy Your Goods When You Go
to Athens, &c.
We spent last Saturday in Athens, in the
interest of the Forest News, and it may not
be amiss to tell our readers of some of the
large firms of that place, and what they pro
pose to do in the way of trade this winter.
Then, to begin, the first house we came to, as
we directed our steps to the business portion
of the city, was the large and enterprising
firm of
TALMADGE, IIODGSON & CO.
This firm, composed of young men, occupy r the
whole of the large building lately built by
Mr. Lester. Here they carry one of the
largest wholesale and retail provision trades
of any firm in Northeast Georgia. The va
rious departments were filled with goods,
with busy clerks attending to the wants of
their numerous customers. This firm makes
a specialty of flour, and have recently added
a full line of dry goods to their already large
stock. They have also a large and commo
dious warehouse close by, where they store
and buy cotton, having already’ handled over
a thousand bales this season. The stock they
have on hand now is large, yet they say that
they will have to buy as much again as they
have now. Taking our leave of this firm,
fully impressed with the energy and vim of
its young proprietors, we next stepped into the
first-class dry goods store of
M. MYERS.
Here, as in at Talmadge, Hodgson & Co’s,
we were astonished at the quantity and size
of the stock on hand. We found this stock
to bo fully first-class in every respect, as
Myers has the reputation of keeping the best
articles. Moving on down, we came to the
Book Store of
j. w. BURKE,
Presided over by that clever gentleman, Ma
jor T. A. Burke. llg keeps everything that
you can find in a well appointed store of this
character, and sells low down. Give him a
call, and we are sure you will be pleased with
your treatment. We next passed anew store
to most of our readers who have not visited
the city recently. We speak of‘the Drug
Store of
MR. GALAGER,
Under the Newton House. From all appear
ances, this gentleman has a good stock, which
makes a showy, neat appearance. Crossing
over to the corner, we came to the Book Store
of
W. FLEMING.
Here we found a full stock, well selected,
from an almanac to a Bible, and everything
else that you could call for, with one of the
most polite and clever fellows you ever saw
to wait on you. Mr. Fleming is a young man
just starting in business, but his already good
success shows that he understands thorough
ly his business. We urge you to give him a
call, as he don’t propose to be undersold in
his line. Going on down the street, we came
to one of the best clothing houses iu this
country. We mean that of
CHAR. STERN.
This gentleman usually keeps one of the best
selected stocks you can find anywhere. He
has not yet opened his new goods, as he in
tends moving into anew store next month,
where he will be ready to wait on his many
customers. But we had almost forgot to tell
you where to get a photograph of yourself.
For this, be sure to go to
C. W. DAVIS.
We speak from our own experience, when we
say that he is the best in the State. His work
is first-class and cheap. Then there is the
millinery establishment of
MRS. T. A. ADAMS.
She always keeps up with the times, being
constantly adding the latest goods to her al
ready large stock of bonnets, hats and trim
mings. That “little store on the corner,”
kept by
WILET F. IIOOD,
Mast not pass unnoticed, as it is really a live
one, being full of customers all the time. Mr.
Hood has one of the best selected stocks of
groceries, for the retail trade, we ever had the
pleasure of looking at. Crossing over the
street, we pass anew store, or rather anew
firm, located at the old stand of Lucas & Ware.
From the street we took a peep in, and saw
that it was full of goods, and passed on. We
will tell our readers more about it some other
time, as we contemplate giving it a closer in
vestigation. Passing on, we next come to
the jewelry’ store of
CHILDS & MOSS,
Presided over by one of the cleverest and most
polite young men we have met in a long time,
lie paid us us much attention as if lie thought
we had piles of money to spend with him.—
This firm is selling goods at low prices. Give
them a call, as they’are perfectly reliable, and
you can get bargains for your money. Now
we come to one of Athens’ oldest and best
business houses, conducted by men whom we
delight to honor,
M. G. & J. C OHEN.
This firm carry one of the largest stocks of
dry goods, ready-made clothing and carpeting
that you can find anywhere in this section of
the State. Their store is full now to over
flowing, and they propose to sell them out at
the lowest figures possible. They are really
the regulators of the dry’ goods market for
Athens. From our acquaintance with them,
extending over several years, we can recom
mend you to visit them when you are in search
of goods in their line. We pass next to a
firm that should claim your attention and
share your patronage, we mean that of
HOUSE & BETTS.
One of the members of this firm is from Jack
son county. They are in the grocery and
provision business. They have on hand a
full stock, which they propose to sell as cheap
as anybody. Now wc come to a man that
you all know, and when we say that, it is suf
ficient.
JAS. H. HUGGINS.
As to what he proposes to do with the large
stock he has on hand, look in the columns of
the News, and you will find out. Very few
ot our readers have ever been to Athens and
not found out this prince of merchants.—
Passing on, we come to the furniture store
of
LOWRANCE & MADDEN.
This is anew firm, but we do not hesitate to
recommend them. They have a good stock
and a competent salesman, and we do not
doubt but that you will be well satisfied with
a visit to their store. Another furniture store
claims our attention, as we continue down
the street,
THE ATHENS EURNITURE MANUFACTURING
COMPANY.
This large concern is presided over by Mr. J.
O. Gailey, so well known to most of our citi
zens that lie needs no encomiums from us.
Here you will find one of the best stocks of
furniture to be found in this section, at prices
to suit the times.
SOLOMON & JOSEPH,
Next door to the Furniture store, should not
he overlooked, as they have a large stock of
dry goods, which they propose to sell cheap.
You will not loose anything by calling on
them. They are enterprising merchants, and
we maintain that this is the kind to do your
trading with. Live and let live, is the motto
of all such.
CHILDS, NICKERSON & CO.
Is so well known to the people of Jackson
County that wc can say nothing in their
behalf, except that they have, as usual, a
large stock of goods in their line, and plenty
of accommodating clerks to wait upon you.
But when we speak of Athens enterprise, we
would be making a poor job of it to leave out
the
NORTHEAST GEORGIA STOVE AND TIN-WARE
DEPOT,
Presided over by that clever gentleman,
•‘Bill” Jones. Under his guidance, we took
a walk over the establishment, and found it
one of the most complete of its kind. On
the first floor, there was for sale everything
in the stove and tin-ware line. You could
see stoves from the size of ail enormous
cooking range, that would cook a complete
dinner for a hundred people, to some that
would onlj- cook for one. lie then carried
us up stairs. Here we saw stoves of every
class and description crowded together. We
then visited the cellar. Here we saw the
same thing repeated, only on a larger scale.
We were so much astonished at the quantity
that we asked him how many years it would
take him to get rid of tiiem, he replied that,
fearing he would run short, he had already
ordered two or three more car loads. He
then took us back up stairs, renewed his
advertisement, and showed us some huge
posters he was circulating, and we saw
through the whole thing in an instant.—
Crossing over the street, thus ruminating
upon the power of the newspaper to dissemi
nate stoves as well as knowledge, we came
to the store of another one of Athens’ veteran
merchants,
8. C. DOBBS.
Mr. Lofton politely showed us through
this large store, with its counters and shelves
groaning under their weight of goods of every
description. Passing on back, we came to
his new warehouse, one of the most complete
in the city. This store is one of the most
convenient we saw in our rounds, and from
the quantity of goods we are certain that you
can get bargains by going to see Col. Dobbs.
Now comes the dreaded task, that of giving
you a description of the mammoth establish
ment of
REAVES A NICHOLSON.
To go into particulars, we cannot. All of
yon have heard of them, as their reputation
is not confined to the State. They have
recently added anew three-story house to
their already huge concern. It requires the
first and second stories of this combined
building to transact their business and store
the enormous stock of goods which they
carry all the year. That they sell low, you
can all judge for yourselves by a personal
inspection. You will find one of the twenty
six obliging clerks to wait upon you and
satisfy you that you are really in market and
buying at wholesale. Right across the street,
in the old stand of Hunter & Beusse, you
will find anew firm to most of our readers.
We mean that of
TIIOS. FLEMING A SON.
These gentlemen, besides having one of
the best locations, have one of the heaviest
stocks of Hardware that Athens lias seen in
several years. Here you can find anything
from a carpet tack to a railroad spike, all
kinds of wagon and buggy material, a large
assortment of window sash and blinds.—
These gentlemen are some more of your live
and energetic kind, fully up to the require
ments of their business, and we can commend
them as first class. We next come to the
drug store of
DR. ED. SMITH LYNDON.
But then, you know he is all right, from
the fact that his worm medicine gives general
satisfaction. But, before we get too far off,
we want to call your special attention to
W. A. BURNS.
This gentleman speaks to you this week
for himself, and we will only add a word by
way of supplement. We have been to see
him, and can say that he has a store full of
goods that are first-class in every respect,
and know that he must sell them cheap to
get rid of them. Mr. Burns is from Jackson
county—one of our own l>oys—- so we should
give him all the patronage we can. We
must not neglect to mention the Stove and
Tin-ware establishment of
J. C. WILKINS.
Here you can find all you want, as Mr
Wilkins keeps a good, select stock, and you
will find he sells as cheap as anybody can.
Then comes the Furniture establishment of
MR. J. F. WILSON.
lie is an old and experienced hand at this
business ; keeps a good stock, which ho sells
low, especially collins and burial cases.—
This makes us think of our friend
A. R. ROBERTSON,
Whose marble yard should not be overlooked,
when you desire anything in that line, as he
is a first-class workman, and will give you
satisfaction as to price and quality of work.
This about closes onr list, we believe, for
the present. We may, in the future, make
some additions, but at present we shall let it
remain. We have mentioned all who seem
to be inclined to give publicity to their busi
ness. To those whose wishes are to the
contrary, we assure them that we respect
their feelings too much to harrow them bj r
parading their business before the public.
Two things struck us at the close of our
journey. The first was, that we have never
seen such large stocks of goods in Athens
before. Every store is full, and they are
selling at prices that will compare favorably
with larger places.
Again, last season demonstrated the fact
that the cotton market was as good here as
could possibly be expected, making Athens a
first-class market both for buj’ing and selling ;
in fact, a formidable rival to Atlanta and
Augusta.
Quarterly Meeting, Jefferson Circuit.
The last Quarterly Meeting of Jefferson
Circuit will be held at Harmony Grove, on
the second Sunday, and Saturday before, in
October. The Friday before is appointed
by the Discipline as a day of fasting and
prayer, to be observed by all the members in
the bounds of the Circuit.
As this is the last Quarterly Meeting, and
the question of tiie plan of the Circuit for
another year will he considered, and sugges
tions made to the Presiding Elder, it is all
important that every Church be fully repre
sented by its official members. The brethren
are, therefore, urgently requested to be pre
sent. If a Church shall fail to be represent,
ed, and a plan is suggested which proves
unsatisfactory to such a Church, there will be
no ground for complaint—the official mem
bers of that Church must bear the blame.
Clement C. Cary, Pastor.
Oconee County Fair Association.
We acknowledge the receipt of the premium
list of the first annual Fair of this Associa
tion, to be held in Watkinsville, Oconee coun
ty, commencing on the 14th day of October
next, and continuing four days. In looking
over the premium list, we find that the total
amount offered is quite large and attractive.
We congratulate the citizens of our neighbor
ing county upon this stride she has taken
ahead of so many of her sister counties, who
are more able and wealthy than she is, and
yet seem to think that agriculture and the
mechanic arts need no encouragement. We
hope the Fair will be a success, and prove a
profitable undertaking to its promoters.

TO THE PUBLIC.
One John Porter left Jefferson, on the
evening of the 17th inst., between sun-down
and dark, for his home, about three miles
distant, in a besotted condition. About 12
o’clock, at night, of the 17th inst., he appear
ed before S. McCarty, J. P. for the Jefferson
District, and sued out a warrant for the
undersigned, charging them with having rob
bed him of something over ten dollars in
money. Said John Porter had, on the said
17th day of September, inst.., sold to F. M.
Bailey, of Jefferson, a bale of cotton for
$35.80. He has said repeatedly since that
time, in the presence of perfectly reliable
persons, that he had no other money that day
than the amount received for the cotton. He
has admitted that he carried home with him
over twenty-six dollars, and still admits it.
lie expended, while in Jefferson, on the said
17th instant, at Pendergrass, Son & Co’s,
$3.35 ; at N. McDonalds, $2.00; at T. G.
Potts’, $1.50; at J. H. Chapman’s, 40 cents;
loaned H. C. Hunter 50 cents, aggregating
$7.75, leaving for the alleged robbers only a
fraction over one dollar.
Parties desirous of ascertaining the truth
have been able to locate these expenditures.
What others may yet come to light is a ques
tion for the future. Said John Porter was
more than once seen, on the day named, in
the delirium of drunkenness, to scatter, or
sow, as it were, his small change round about
him. And this recklessness, if there are no
other expenditures to be ascertained, con
nected with a day’s drunken debauch, may
have left, as doubtless it did leave, nothing
except the $20.00, and some small change,
which said John Porter carried home with
him.
So much for this view of the case.
When it was ascertained that the under
signed were charged with this alleged rob
bery, certain parties visited said John Porter,
and told him that the rumor had gone out
that he had charged them (the undersigned)
with it, and that the}’ wanted an investigation.
He promised several gentlemen that he would
appear in Jefferson, on Saturday, the 21st
inst., and afford those lie had charged with
this grave offense an opportunity to vindicate
themselves. Saturday came and passed
away, and no John Porter. Instead of keep
ing his promise, he went in another direction,
and when his own son was induced to go in
search of him, lie could not be found. He
neither came nor excused himself for not
coming, and keeps the warrant in his pocket
unexecuted. Then it was that a warrant was
sued out against said John Porter for Perjury,
for which he is now under bond, in the sum
of five hundred dollars, to appear and answer
at the next term of Jackson Superior Court.
These statements, taken in connection with
the fact that the undersigned can establish,
not only abundantly, but most overwhelm
ingly, their innocence of the charge made
against them, is sufficient to suspend public
opinion till such time as said John Porter
will raise his head in open Court, and in
open day time, and repeat what he said at
mid-night, while under the influence of drink.

The acquisition of vital energy is the stepping
stone to health. When the system lacks vitality,
the various organs lfag in their duty, become
chronically irregular, and disease is eventually
instituted. To prevent this unhappy state of
things, the debilitated system should he built up
by the use of that inimitable tonic, llostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, which invigorates the digestive
organs, and insures the thorough conversion of
food into blood of a nourishing quality, from
whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire un
wonted supplies of vigdr. and the whole system
experiences the beneficial effect. Appetite re
turns, the system is refreshed by healthful slum
ber. the nerves grow strong and calm, the despon
dency begotten of chronic indigestion and an un
certain state of health disappears, and that sallow
appearance of the skin peculiar to habitual in
valids, and persons deficient in vital energy, is re
placed by a more becoming tinge.
