Frida; Morning, June 11, 1875. i
The Jefferson Forest News will be
be out on Saturday.
Hon. A. H. Stephens will address
the citizens of Atlanta on the 4th day
of July.
Ex-President Davis has written a
letter, in which he handles William
Tecutnsrli Sherman with gloves off.
The Lagrange Reporter insists that
that city has the prettiest women in
the State. That might be so, if Gaines
ville was not in the State.
A Boston paper complains of the
number of applications for discharge
among the militia, in view of the ardu
ous duties of tho coming Bunker Hill
Centennial.
The Atlanta Constitution calls the
Herald the Daily Plagiarist. The Her
ald calls the Constitution the Daily
Potato Bug. Nice sport for metropol
itan journals to indulge in.
The Atlanta Herald has rented
rooms on tho same side and next door
to the Constitution, on Broad street,
in Atlanta. Much more pleasant
quarters than formerly.
Gen. Sherman is about as heavily
under lire now as lie ever was in his
life. If he ever had any ambition for
the Presidency, he has probably aban
doned it by this time.
All the States havo elected their
members of the Forty-fourth Congress,
except California and Mississippi.
California elects four Congressmen in
September, Mississippi six in Novem
ber.
Jefferson Davis, during his recent
visit, to Houston, Texas, was presented
with a largo silver medal by the survi
vors of tho “Davis Guards” of that
place, an organization which served
through the civil war.
The State of Georgia now has two
railroads—tho Western A Atlantic
and tho Macon & Brunswick. The
last named road was purchased last
luesday, at aud for tho sum of one
million dollars.
Yes, William G. Browlow is a hog,
and all that, but the vigorous tight
that is being made on tho old man by
a number of our exchanges rem inds us
of a difficulty between tho gnat and
the ox—tho gnat occupying a safe po
sition on the horn of his bovine majes
ty -as described by ACsop.
Some noble American Republican
who invested a small fortune
up one ot the cast-im drosses the
Empress Eugenic, has got himself into
trouble, lie endeavored to smuggle
tho relic of royalty through tho Cus
tom House and was caught. This is
altogether too bad.
Wliilo there is a wide diversity of
opinion among tho newspapers con
cerning tho precise meaning of the
President’s third-term letter, there
seems to ho a very general belief that
it will completely romove him from the
field as a candidate for a re-nomina
tion.
Norcross is not happy. A Baptist
minister named J. M. B. Fackler has
recently been preaching there, and he
now reports that ho was shot at while
preaching, aud that someone
rushed at him, knife in hand, while he
was engaged in baptising somebody.
The Norcross people eomo out in a
card, charging the reverend gentleman
with falsehood.
The experience of Now York busi
ness men goes to indicate that iron
shutters increase the danger of loss
from fire i rather than decrease it.
This is attributed partly to the fact
that lire in houses so furnished is
seldom or never discovered so soon as
in others, and partly to tlie*great diffi
culty that firemen experience in forc
ing iron shutters open.
One of the grand items of Centen
nial expense which will fall entirely
upon Philadelphia is the water supply.
The present works must be largely
increased, and much beyond the per
manent or immediately prospective
requirements of the city. One million
dollars are asked for to effect the nec
essary additions to the present pump
ing, reservoir and conducting facili
ties.
It is refreshing to learn that the
gormandizing grasshoppers are coining
to grief at last. An examination by
dissection, made by Messrs. Duukee I
and Stout, extensive farmers nearj
Fort Scott, Kansas, develop the fact!
that about three-fourths of the grass-1
hoppers so examined contain each a j
live maggot, which, it is believed, will j
soon exterminate the pests. The •
question now arises, what will the I
maggots do after they demolish the j
grasshoppers.
The Stanton Virginian understands
that grasshoppers have made their ap
pearance in comparatively large num
bers in some sections of Augusta coun
ty, and have begun the work of des
truction with an appetite that bids
fair to devour grass, grain and foliage.
The Virginian says tho indications
point to a very small harvest this year,
and there is a general apprehension
of a very great failing off in the corn
crop.
Mn J. 31. Buh-ett, at Barrellt>\ ilie
DfeWSOii county, is otir duly authorized j
agent to receive and receipt for sub

Tne “dots” from our Gumming coi - j
respondent came too late for our issue j

items short and pithy.

east Georgia will keep us posted on
all the latest news. Send weekly, ev
erything happening in your neighbor

Write after the style of our Homer
aud Franklin county “dots.”
To Hotel Keepers.
We are going soon to make up a
list of the summer resorts in North-
East Georgia, to serve as a guide to
tourists through this section during
the summer. We want an advertise
ment from every hotel and public
house in this section, so tLat we call
mention aii, and tell their merits.
“I lots to Bee-Keepers.”
Some friend sends'ns a little book
entitled, “Hints to Bee-Keepers,” that
is a valuable help to apiarians. It is
published by H. A. King A Cos., at No.
14, Murray Btroet, New York, and is
sent to any address for ten cents. This
firm are also publishers of the Bee-
Keepers’ Journal and National Agri
culturist, at $1.50 per annum. Send
for a specimen copy.
Union and Towns Courts.
The spring session of the Superior
Courts of the counties of Union and
Towns were held—the first named the
last week in May, and the other the
first week in June, at both of which
we were present most of the time.
Judge Knight, who presides over these
courts, is giving general satisfaction in
uis administration of the law, and is
quite popular with the masses for the
fidelity and faithfulness with which ho
discharges his official duties. Solicitor-
General Phillips is one of tho most
vigous pros', curing officers in the State,
aud is a terror to evil-doers. The
business of these courts was light, par
ticularly on the civil dockets. On the
criminal side the charges were chielly
for the minor grade of offenses—mis
demeanors aud the like.
Crops north of the Blue Ridge were
looking well. Wheat presented a
splendid appearance. The cultivation
of wheat is increasing in all tho moun
tain counties, aud as the country
grows older the yield is better, and
tho crop inoro certain. Ten years
ago but little wheat was raised north
of the Biue ltidge, and such a thing as
a good fioni'ing mill could not be
found. Now, wheat is being hauled to
the south side of the mountain for sale,
[and they have a number o'f mVjis jvliich
turn out spleendid grades of Jiuuy.
The late spring frosts seriormfy in
jured the fruit in most localities—to
tally destroying in some orchards,
while in others there will be enough
for ordinary purposes. We noticed
that a number of the more progressive
farmers were devoting increased at
tention to the cultivation of grasses
this is a step in the right direction,
and, if continued, is bound to tell well
on the permanent prosperity of the
country. When wo have more spaco
we shall again recur to impressions
received while in this “Piedmont”
country.
Strong.
The following from tho Brunswick
Appeal Comes so near fitting our own
case that wo give it verbatim. “As tho
report that we are very wealthy has
gouo abroad among our subscribers
and has made them awful slow about
paying up, thinking, doubtless, we
don't want the money, we hasten to
say the report of our wealth is false in
every particular. If ocean steamers
were selling at a cent a dozen, we
couldn’t make the first payment on a
canoe. Tbe lightening of poverty has
struck ns square, and had it not been
for an armful of hay our devil managed
to steal from a blind mule, our large
and interesting family would bo with
out a mouthful to eat at this moment.
Is not this a sad picture, and can you,
delinquent subscribers, look upon it
without feeling the greenbacks rustle
with indignation iu your pocket
books? We do not like to dun you,
but we must if you fail take the
hint,.,,
An interesting feature iu the next
campaign in Maine wi'lbe the contest
between the factions of the Republican
party, led by Senator Morrill and Mr.
Biaine, over tho former’s seat in the
United States Senate. The Legislature
of 187(> is to choose the successor, and
|as it is customary iu the State to re
! elect next year the State Senators*new
ly chosen this year, a part of the con
t ost is to be decidednow. It is said to
be no secret in Maine that the ex-
Speaker is going to do his best to se
cure Mr. Morrill’s scat, and it is
equally evident that Mr. Morrill is de
termined to do his best to keep posses
sion. Mr. Blaine is said to have earn
ed his point iu securing the nomina
tion of Gen. Selden Corner for Gov
ernor, but beyond that nothing is as
yet determined.
How would you like to have your
sugar whitened with the bones of men
who died for their country? They are
apparently having it that way in
France. They have formed a factory
for the manufacture of animal charcoal
at Metz, which is supplied with bones
from the battle fields over there. This
product is used in refining sugar.
The hiovti hsisliip.
A friend, writing us Mticon,
winds tip his letter as follows:
“What are j*our views on the race
for Governor, that there is some agi
tation about just now ? Knowing that
you were one of the opponents of
Hon. B. 11. Hill, in his late race for
Congress in your district, I desire to
know your views in regard to the effect
which that contest will have in your
section on the Gubernatorial race.”
In answer to the inquiry of our
friend we desire to state that we think
the discussion of the Gubernatorial
question at this time aftogether pre
mature. It is calculated to do the
cause of Democracy no good. The
names of a number of good men have
been suggested for the position, and
recently we see a few of the influential
papers of the State centering on ex-
Gov. Charles J. Jenkins. Wo cannot
support his nomination for reasons
purely local. We believe him to be a
good man, but one of bis acts, while
he was Governor of Georgia, we deem
sufficient for us to oppose his getting
into the same position again. We al
lude to his veto of the bill that was
passed by the Legislature of IBGS-GG,
granting Btate aid to tho Air-Line
Railroad The bills granting aid to
the Macon & Brunswick and the Air-
Line Railroads were both passed by
the same Legislature, with exactly the
same provisions; he approved the
Macon A Brunswick bill, and vetoed
the Air-Lino bill,
Both roads in time have been com
pleted. The Macon & Brunswick is
au “elephant” on the State; the Air-
Line received the aid of the State un
der Bullock’s administration, but nev
er used a dollar of it. Tho action of
Gov. Jenkins in this matter can never
be explained to us, or to the people of
North-East Georgia. Tho building of
tho Air-Line has opened up one of the
finest sections of the State; and the
increase in the taxable property in the
counties lying on and contiguous to
the road, shows the wisdom of its con
struction, while the building of the
Macon A Brunswick road has done
nothing for the State except to saddle
a debt upon it that the people are
poorly able to pay. This is our rea
son for opposing Gov. Jenkins.
Now,as to whether or not tho late race
for Congress in this district throws
any light on the Gubernatorial ques
tion, we have this to say: If the
Democratic Gubernatorial convention,
when it assembles, ends like tho con
vention did in this district, it will cer
tainly effect the r.teo for Governor.—
Here, a minority, assuming in the
convention to represent tho wishes of
an fjority of tho people of tho dis
trictp stuck to Mr. Hill with a tenacity
that lias seldom, if ever, been equalled
in the history of conventions. They
championed one of tho greatest ora
tors of the country, and this fact alone
enabled them to carry their point. It
is looked upon by what we will call
the Feltonites, in Georgia, as -a tri
umph of an independent over a con
vention, and we predict that it will be
used with telling effect in the next race
for Governor.
Felton represents a class of voters
that will be found, on a strict investi
gation, to be very strong. They will
not go into a convention on any con
dition. That class of the Democratic
party who will go into a convention
will bo divided up among the different
candidates for the position, no one of
whom will be able to control a major
ity, much less two-thirds, of the del
egates. Now, to get up a split, it will
only be necessary for the friends of
one of the candidates to go to another
one, and one or all the balance cry
out “political traders !” “tricksters !”
and other like epitkers, and the work
is done.
A Domination can be prevented in
this way by a minority, and unless the
majority quietly fold their hands and
suffer the minority to thrust their man
upon tho convention, the work is done
and the party divided for the cam
paign. The Feltonists in this in.-tance
will stick like leeches to the minority
man, and if the lesson taught in this
district amounts to anything, he will
be elected. This will probably answer
the second interrogatory propounded
by our friend.
Now, unless the Democratic party
considers itself intirely safe in this
State, let what may happen, we think
it high time a pause was made, and
the situation seriously examined. The
next nominee of the Democratic party,
if a nomination is effected, is not going
to walk over the track as easily as
Gov. Smith did. There is more dis
sention and dissatisfaction existing to
day' in the Democratic party, as far as
our knowledge extends, Ilian has ex
isted since ISGO. AVe know certain
politicians, and others who desire to
make capital out of the downfall of
the party, will hoot at the idea, but we
ask such just to hold on and see. Let
every newspaper and cross roads
politician in the land put for
ward his man, and stick to him like
“grim death to a white horse,” leaving
entirely out of sight fbiciple and party
organization, and, onr word for it, an
Independent will succeed James M.
Smith, as Governor of the State of
Georgia.
The disappearance of that $47,000
from the government treasury is great
ly exercising Spinner and the detectives.
The people are more concerned, howev
er, in finding out where numberless
other large sums have gone to, which
should be in the treasury, end they
hope to find out when congress meets
iu December.

The alii'-on is now opening when
BVery hoiisewife should commence to
preserve what fruit will be required
during the winter and spring months.
Heretofore fruit canning has been
looked upon as being an expensive
process, and only those in affluent cir
cumstances couia indulge in the luxu
ry of peach aud cherry pies in the win
ter, because it was fancied that fresh
fruit could not be preserved in any
thing save the t xpensive patent glass
cans with which the country has been,
flooded. \\ e are glad to be able to
disabuse the minds of our readers on
this subject, aud give only what we
know to be facts, from actual experi
ence.
The best vessel we know of for pre
serving fruit is a jar manufactured and
sold at jug prices, by W. G. Pitchford,
of Leo, White county, Gi\, Probably
other people iu the up.country make
equally as good ware, but we have
tested Mi'. Pitchford’s jars, and know
whereof we speak But to the process:
PKEPAipiNG THE FRUIT.
Our method is, to put the fruit in a
preserving kettle of soma kind —a
glared iron kettle, or oven a tinned
one, or a tin bucket will
sweeten it with just sugar or honey,
enough to fit it for the table. The
sweetening is added in the form of a
syrup, made by boiling from quo to
three pounds of sugar (usually two
pounds) with one quart of water. The
more juicy fruits, such as strawberries,
blackberries, Ac., require lesa sjrup,
while pears and quinces require more.
The fruit is heated with tho syrup just
long enough to scald it through.—
Some prefer to use less sweetening,
and add more when the fruit is used.
Others use no sugar; they think the
fruit keeps just as well, and preserves
its aroma better without any sugar)
We prefer to use all tho sugar that is
to be needed, believing that the fruit
will probably keep more certainly, and
it is then always ready to pour out at
once upon the table. The fruit to be
preserved should be in good condition
—ripe, but not over-ripe, nor contain
ing any decayed portions. Tomatoes
are peeled, and then cooked down one
half, as this makes a better sauce, and
requires less jar room.
HOW CANNED. '~ m ~
Now take common, wide-mouthed
glass boltes or stone jars; those with
a rim around the neck are preferable.
Procure thick Canton flannel, or any
other thick doth; cut it into squares
sufficiently large to cover the top,and
neck of the jar. Dip these pieces into
heated grafting wax, made by melting
together one pound rosin, two ounces
beeswax aud one and a half ounces tal
low. Several pieces may be put* in at
one time, and should be re- r
main in until they aVc perfeetlwsatu
rated with the wax. Just before fill
ing a jar with fruit, take out one of
those pieces, thus allowing it to cool a
little. By doing so they can be han
dled with greater ease, and there is no
danger of the wax running through
them into the fruit. After the wax
has been kept hot a long time it is apt
to harden slightly. A little tallow
should then be added,
In preparing the fruit, one pound of
sugar to six pounds of raspberries,
blackberries, whortleberries, etc., is
sufficient; wnile for straw
berries and the more acid
fruits, one pound to four is requisite.
Add a small quantity of water, and
cook the fruit a trifle less thaa if it
were to be used immediately upon the
table.
Heat the bottles or jars to prevent
breaking; this may be done by placing
them underneath the stove, or else by
putting them in a kettle of cold water
and gradually heating it. Pour the
hot fruit into the hot jar or bottle,
filling it full; wipe the top and outside
perfectly dry; have ready a piece of
white paper cut so that it will just fit
the inside of the mouth of the bottle
or jar, and lay it on the top of the
fruit. Now you are prepared for the
sealing process. The pieces of cloth
being all ready, having been previous
ly saturated with the wax and allowed
to cool three or four minutes, place
one of them over the mouth of the
vessel, drawing it as tightly as possi
ble, and then wind a piece of strong
twine round and round, binding the
edges of the cloth firmly against the
neck. Then with a spoon dip on a
little of the hot wax, spreading it even
over the top of the cloth, and over
this place a paper large enough to
cover the top and neck of the jar,
smoothing it as closely aa possible,
and it is sealed. As soon as they cool,
a glance will determine whether they
are air-tight or not, as, if so, there will
be a slight depression of the cover.—
The least hole will prevent this con
cavity, and thus indicate at once the
necessity of repeating the sealing proc
’ess. If care be taken, not one bottle
in forty will fail of being perfectly
sealed at first.
Kentucky is preparing to hold, at
Louisville, impressive memorial ser
vices in honor of John C. Breckinridge,
on the 17th of the present month. To
this meeting are called all Kentuckians
irrespective of party affiliations. It is
to be an imposing demonstration of
respect for the illustrious son of Ken
tucky. All the orders and societies
are expected to participate. Gov. Les
lie will preside, and the oration will
be delivered by Gen. William Preston.
The city will be clad in mourning, and
every mark of respect and sorrow will
distinguish the day.
JaaeS gave a lawyer a bill to be
Collected to the amount of S3J. Call
ing for it, after awhile, he inquired if
it had been collected. “0, yes,” ..aid
theTaWyer, “I have it all for you.”
“What charge for collecting ? ‘ “Ob,”
said the lawyer, laughing, “I'm not
going to charge yon—why I have
known you ever since you were a baby,
and your father before you ; S2O will be
about right,” handing over $lO.
“Well,” said Jones, as ho meditated
upon the transaction, ‘its darned
lucky he didn’t know 7 my grandfather,
or I shouldn’t have got anything ?’
Nothing is more touching than filial
affection. Thus, a newsboy in Wash
ington was overheard io soliloquize
as he counted his pennies: “Seven
teen cents in all. That’s live for the
circus, three for peanuts, four for a
sinking fund, four I owe Jack, and
there’s one to support a "widowed
mother on until Saturday night!” A.
boy like that will do well —a great
deal better, in fact, than his widowed
mother, who mustn’t rely too much on
the generosity of this acute little semi
orphan.
Grant ought to interfere in New
Hampshire. The Democrats are get
ting control of the State, there is a
in the*"Legislature, and he
shojnld send troops there as lie did to
Louisiana. The cases are perfectly
parallel, except that he had a brother
in-law in New Orleans and has nom
in Concord. But that is only a mat
ter of family interest. In point oi
principle the cases are the smae, and
if necessary he might send a brother
in-law there for a w 7 hile and then order
on their troops.

Ifiiod Templars’ Picnic.
The members of Evening Star
Lodge, I. O. G. TANARUS., of Homer Banks
county, Ga., gave a picnic on the 28tli
ult. They, with a number of visitors
from sister Lodges, marched under an
elegant banner from the lodge room to
the Presbyterian Church, where a large
crowd had assembled to hear the
speaking.
Speeches were made by Itev. G. H.
Cartledge, of Jefferson, and Samuel C.
Robinson, G. W. S., of Atlanta. Mr.
Cartledge made a most excellent
speech, seasoned with that fervid pa
thos and earnest style for which lie is
noted, holding the audience spell
bound for over an hour. Among other
things he said that before he would
deal out the maddening fluid to his
fellow man, he would crawl on his
hands and knees and work the bal nice
of his life fbUa .support.
Mr. Robinsoni, also, in conclusion,
made a most His
of convincing
beyond all cavil—and especially inter
esting were his shrewd, sarcastic, yet
pleasant anecdotes. He is altogether
a successful lecturer—thoroughly and
sacredly dedicated to his cause, untir
ing in energy, quick, and ready at all
times to say and do whatever may be
beneficial to his Order. Truly he is
the right man in the right place.
After speaking, the crowd adjourned
to the dinner table, where a plentiful
and rich repast aw r aited them, which
was enjoyed to the full satisfaction of
all present.
The whole thing was altogether a
very pleasant affair; and much and
lasting good was done—not only in
building up the Order by the addition
of several new members, but the
Churches and the whole community
are greatly benefitted by the moral
tone and impression left among the
people. Such meetings are always
food to the nobler principles and fac
ulties of man.
The Good Templars at Homer are
in a very properous condition. Their
labors are gladdening the hearts of
all the truly goocl in the vicinity.

GENERAL PRESENTMENTS,
UNION SUPERIOR COURT, MAY TERM, 1875.
We, the Grand Jurors choseu, sworn and
selected for the present term, have the honor
to submit the following report:
We have, through appropriate committees,
examined the condition of the various county
offices, and find them properly kept and in
good condition; and we have also examined
into the condition of the Coart House and
Jail, and find that the Court House has been
considerably damaged by a storm which lately
passed throngh this vicinity, but we are grat
ified to know that our very efficient Ordinary
has the same now under contract for repair
ing. We find the Jail in tolerably good con
dition, but hardly secure.
We further find that the public roads in
certain localities are in bad condition, and
receommend that the Road Commissioners
throughout the county look after (ho same,
and have all public roads well worked soon
after crops arc laid by.
Wo are proud to know that the morals of
the county are improving, as we have seen
less drinking the present term of this Coutt
than any previous Court for some years.
We, the Grand Jury, further recommend
that the provisions of an act entitled an act to
provide for the payment of the claims of school
officers and teachers for services rendered in
the year 1871, approved March 3rd, 1874.,
shall not apply or operate in the county of
Union, except 50 per cent, on the claims of
the County School Commissioner for the year
1871, to be paid out of the funds appropriated
to the county of Union.
We lurther recommend that the Ordinary of
Union county levy a light tax for conoty pur
poses, as will meet the emergence of the case.
We farther recommend the Ordinary allow
himself the snm of S6O for his services; and
in taking leave of His Honor N. B. Kuight,
Jadge of said Court, we tender to him our
sincere thanks for the able and impartial man
ner in which he has handled the scales of jus-
tice during the present term. We also tender
onr thanks toC. D. Phillips, Solicitor-General,
for his very efficient services during the pres
ent term. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. It is requested by the Grand Jury
that the Clerk of the Superior Court furnish
the Gainesville Eagle with a copy of the same
for publication.
