In Memoriam.
Harmony Grove Ga.
April 21st 1880.
The citizens of this place were made sad
on account of the death of Mrs. Minnie C.
Parker the wife of Prof. Morgan L. Parker
which occured on the 17th of April 1880.
In token of the esteem that we, the pupils
of Harmony Grove High School bear to
wards our beloved teacher wo through our
committee do hereby tender to him and the
relatives of the deceased our heartfelt sym
pathy in their great bereavment. We know
that the loss our teacher has sustained is
irreparable but we hope he will take consola
tion because his wife was a Christian and
now rests in heaven.
Resolved. That the students of our school
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
days.
Resolved. That the Forest news and
tbe Madison Yeoman be requested to pub
lish the foregoing resolutions and that the
Hartwell and Jonesboro papers copy the
same.

Our Railroad Again.
Mu. Editor : — I am glad to state, that
reports, during the last week, of our railroad
enterprise are very encouraging. 1 felt sure
that the citizens of old Jackson would not,
long remain in the rear, with this way open.
Avery few j-ears since, we subscribed S4O,
000 for a road from Jefferson to Gainesville,
and I believe our citizens would subscribe
the same amount again very promptly, if
they had perfect confidence in the final suc
cess of the enterprise. Indeed, more than one,
living remote from Jefferson, and not on the
proposed line are so full of county pride,
and public spirit as to propose that we, as a
county, immediately accept the proposition
and make secure the $20,000 required. We
can not do this as a county; but if the
Air Linecoinpany and Hall county will secure
to us a good road for that amount they can
have the money from private subscription,
and that very promptly. We have been dis
appoined so often that our people are hesi
tating a little until they see their way clear :
but I think I know them well enough to say,
that they will invest liberally in such an
undertaking as this. Much of that spirit
has been manifested during the past week.
I would say to our friends bring forward
your subscriptions promptly. This is a
grand work and if carried to a successful
issue it will prove to be a vast benefit to otrr
county. I may say the advantages will be
almost incalculable, and they will flow to
every one in the county. Just at this' time
there is a strong tendency with foreign and
northern capital to seek investments in the
South. The recent words of Dr- Talmage
O
and others will give it additional impetus in
this direction.
Let us, by all means, present to it a door
opening into Jackson county, and thus, our
wild lands and other idle resources will soon
yield us handsome incomes. Every man in
the county is interested. So come forward
friends with a will and let us prove to the
world that we are not the denizens of Sleepy
Hollow; but are able and ready to take our
position in the front rank of progress. I
think those who are cooperating with us are in
earnest. Let us prove to them that we arc
equally so.
We can easil}' subscribe double the amount
required and will hardly feel the temporary
loss but we shall certainly realize the re
doubled and accumulating gains. We can
make old Jackson one of the garden spots
of Georgia. Let us do so, and make it a
garden too, after the most improved plan.
The way is open ; show your purpose if pos
sible before the end of another week.

Railroad Meeting at Hosch’s Store.
Last Saturday we attended a meeting of a
portion of the citizens of this county at
Hosch’s store. The object of the meeting
was to discuss and devise wa} r s and means
to build the proposed railroad from Jug
Tavern to Gainesville.
The meeting was called to order, speeches
were made by various persons, several letters
were read, and matters were gcneraly ex
plained to the audience. A large number of
names were added to the association. It was
decided to raise the necessary funds with
which to make a preliminary survey. An
other meeting was called to meet at It. A.
Cooper’s store on the second Saturday in May
after which the meeting adjourned.
It was expected that Col. Candler of
Gainesville would be present and address
them upon the subject, but from some cause
he did not put in his appearance. While our
friends are just at the beginning of their
enterprise, we think they have shown the
necessary determination to conquer, they
have not learned the alphabet of railroad
building yet, but they appear to have taken
in the magnitude of the enterprise, and are
making honest efforts for steam communica
tion with the outside world. From what we
could gather they have not yet decided where
the road shall run to’ and who they will connect
with, they have as yet resolved to do but mie
thing and that is to have a railroad.
They ace going about the matter in a
deliberate and persistent way that will win
in the end.
Dots from Miller’s District.
Editor Forest Neivs: —Perhaps I can
get up a few items from this District, that
will be read with some interest by the readers
of your valuable paper, especially, those
upon this side of the county, your paper is
the visitor of almost every household, and we
welcome it with pleasure, once a week. Since
we have written you last “gentle spring has
come again, bringing mirth and gladness,
and the singing birds have come, chasing away
gloom and sadness.” We are having fine
weather now, and the fanners are making
use of it. Some are done planting their corn
and cotton, while others are not. “ Big”
crops is the motto of all our farmers. Wheat
and oats are looking very promising, some
complaint of rust making its appearance on
wheat, but to no damage as yet I think. The
area sown is large, and if no disaster comes
upon it, probably we will hear of some more
big threshings etc., as did David & Meaders
last y ear. Mr. Editor wo are not inclined
to boast, but we live in as good District as
is incorporated in the county ; have some as
good farmers, among whom are Stockton,
Dunuahoo, Culpepper, Deadwyler and A. D.
Martin, and many others whom I could
i mention, had 1 tune and space,, Mr. Martin's
cotton crop numbers over an hundred acres,
corn I suppose equivalent; therefore we are
not astonished when we see fine houses going
up, for such men as Martin carr}' the “quills.”
Mr. Jesse Carter is using the saw, axe, plane
and hammer on Martin’s house.
Rev. Frank Rutherford preached at Holly
Spring last Sunday, preached a good sermon
as usual, and had a good congregation.
Prayer meeting and sabbath school, carried
on at the same place. Mr. James Eberhart
our newly appointed N. P. and J. P. was
around a few days ago getting the names of
all those that pay taxes, “ Jim” will make a
good officer when lie learns how, and will
do justice though the heavens fall. Miller’s
District needs a court house, and whrdont we
build it, if the county can build such a costly
house surely the District can build one worth
fifty dollars: Segars & Bro. are selling
goods at their same old stand, sell cheap for
cash, and cheaper for “ cashey.” Segarville
is improving “ sum,” we hear of some lots
being sold and bought. The Odd Fellows
have a public meeting at Maysville to-morrow
24th inst., expecting a large crowd and a
good dinner, more anon. Francis.
