of the contestants (there are two) for the
medal for the championship in oratory during
the session.
rFWe intended getting out a paper last
week, but could not, owing to the late arrival
of our press. Besides, our right hand man,
Mr. Medlin, got liis finger severely mashed,
so wo were minus our best printer. We have
had a hard time of it getting started—some
thing similar to the one experienced by a
certain monkey and parrot. The worst is
over now, and we will be straight by the time
we get out another issue. Until then we beg
; the kind indulgence of our readers.
["Fit is hardly necessary for Northerners,
jin quest of a warm climate, to go farther
South than this county, if growing oranges
is any sign of a mild climate, for wc can grow
them here. As evidence of the fact, we have
before us now an orange, one of a dozen or
more, that was raised on a tree in this coun
ty. The tree grew from a seed planted sev
eral years ago by Mrs. J. W. Glenn, and has
been in the care of Prof. S. P. Orr. We con
sider this quite an achievement, and it shows
what a wonderful climate we possess.
t-FSince our last issue, our plucky neigh
boring city, Gainesville, has started, and al
most completed, ready for work, a bran new
enterprise—ono that will mark anew era in
the prosperity of our wide awake neighbors.
It is nothing more than a huge foundry and
machine shop. The buildings are up and
most of the machinery is on the ground. The
concern has been put through in a hurry. It
is a joint stock concern, but we have not
been able to learn who are tho promoters of
the enterprise. Anyhow, wo.are to have a
first class concern.
Here We Aro Again.
It is hardly necessary for us to go into
detads or facts as to the cause of this papers
failure to reach its patrons for the last five
weeks. Most of our readers know or have
heard of the fire on the night of the 17th of
January last, which destroyed several houses
in our town, and among the rest the house in
which the Forest News was located. Noth
ing was saved but a part of our type, and
that in a “ pied” condition.
The News was owned by a stock company,
but, as tho most of the stockholders were
aOscnu uiiu wuiu nut) uo wiisnitwii, n was
thought best to start it as a private enterprise.
The money to buy a now press and other
necessary material was furnished by Mr. F. L.
Pendergrass, ono of the firm of Pendergrass
Bros. & Cos. But for his enterprise it would
have been sometime before the paper could
have been started again, for while we had
more than enough to set the concern up again,
yet it was in accounts on our books, and we
have learned, to our sorrow, accounts don’t
count for money. Ity arrangements with Mr.
Pendergrass the paper will continue under
our control and management, and no change
will be made by us except to cut off those
that won’t pay and to make tho paper better
than it was ever before.
Our new press will admit of our publishing
a larger sized paper, which we intend to do
as soon as the business warrants, which we
hope will not be farther off than this fall. But
for the present we intend to make things
lively in the same old space. We can do it,
and we are going to try it, even if we should
make a failure. Our aim has been to make
a good county paper, and we flatter ourselves
that we have not failed in the attempt.
Although our most sanguine expectations
have not been reached by a long shot, yet we
think we know where the fault is, and we are
still disposed and willing to continue tho
contest.
Take Notice.
Wc will send this and the next issue to all
pf the names that were on our books before
the fire. After that time we will discontinue
sending the paper to all who are a year be
hind on our books. We will credit no man
after this longer than one year. There are a
great many who are perfectly good who will
come under this rule. But if a settlement is
not made they will be dropped. Good debtors
don’t pay debts. We propose to adhere to
this rule if it results in our breaking all to
pieces. We mean no orfense ; our business
and late experience teaches us the folly of
having our mite scattered all over the coun
try, and we do not propose to be caught again.
If our paper is worth having it is worth pay
ing for. Owing to tho fact that the money
season is almost over, we will be satisfied
with a note, payable next fall, from all who
are disposed to pay their debts. But don’t
forget that we must have a further under
standing if you get the paper.
The Forest News No More.
As the fire destroyed a portion of the head
ing of our paper, we were compelled to se
cure another one. It was then suggested'we
change the name of the paper, which, after
consideration, we decided to do, and we have
named the paper the Jackson Herald. \\ e
find that a great many think we made a mis
take in making the change, but wc do not
entertain that opinion ; yet, it was with great
reluetanco that we did so. Around the old
name there will always cluster many recol
lections of both bright and dark days. To
us it means three of the best years of our
lifo-work. So that it is evident that only
mature consideration would cause us to make
a change. Nothing but the name has been
changed—the paper will be the same in the
future as in the past.

—Mr. W. J. Thornton, our efficient mail

—lt is a custom (and I think it a good
one) at some Sabbath-schools for all to mem
orize and repeat a verso in tho Bible before
the recitation of classes. This was the case
not very long since in a Sabbath-school in
this county, and several of tho verses repeat
ed by the little folks read as follows : “ Re
member the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
■*-Dr. Brawner, of Carnesville, was in town
last Monday, looking after and talking up
the Carnesville and Harmony Grove R. R.
lie says that the good people of Franklin
county are in earnest about this matter, and
that they will build the road if Athens and
the peoplo along tho Northeastern will help
them. The Dr. went to Athens from this
place, and no doubt but that he met with
success there.
—The Sabbath-schools at this place are in
a prosperous condition. The Baptist school,
of which Mr T? s. Cheney is Superintendent,
numbers over 100 pupils, and the Methodist
school, in charge of Mr. S. M. Shankle as
Superintendent, has a large numbor of pupils.
The Superintendents and teachors, and in
fact all of the pupils, seem earnestly enlisted
in the work, and no doubt a rich harvest will
be reaped from their abundant sowings.
—One of our physicians was called on the
other day to prescribe anew for a patient.
The Dr. seemed surprised that his former
prescription had not had the desired effect,
and asked the messenger what and how much
the patient had been eating. The reply was
that about eight large biscuit, meat aud other
things in proportion generally, made up for
a meal. Tho Dr. kindly informed the mes
senger that it would be better to keep him
sick, as no man could afford to eat any more
unless he was a millionaire.
—Mr. W. T. Ilarbcr was out on the streets
last Tuesday with an unusually gay smile on
his face, and skipping about like unto a boy
of sixteen summers, and many were the con
jectures made as to the cause, until it was
formally made known to our citizens that it
was a whopping big boy. And while we are
on this subject, Mr. C. T. Barber, who is al
ways up with the times in every undertaking,
and can be as jolly a3 auy one when there is
anything to bo jolly about, and last Tuesday
was one of the days for him, as we are in
formed that it is of the masculine gender, up
at his home, and weighed 10 pounds.
A Series of Misfortunes.
In the early part of last week Sir. J. B.
Dunnahoo, who lives near Maysville, in this
county, by some mischance fell and broke his
arm and hurt his shoulder, and now wo learn,
from Mr. Sandford Wilson, that on last Mon
day night, just before bed time, somebody set
fire to his gin house, in which he had corn,
todder and wheat stored, besides many other
articles. The fire was soon discovered, and
Mr. Dunnahoo thinks that if he had been well
be could have put it out before any serious
damage occurred. The flames soon covered
the whole building and laid it in ashes. llis
loss was about two thousand dollars.
Counting the Electoral Vote.
A few minutes after 12 o’clock the Senate
filed into the House. Tellers were appointed
by both bodies, who counted the votes of the
different States as handed them by Mr.
Wheeler, then informed Mr. Wheeler of the
result, and be, in turn, announced it to the
joint convention. Consideration of the vote
of Georgia was postponed until the last, so as
to see how it would affect the final result.
\\ hen the tellers .completed the count it was
found that of the whole number of electoral
votes, 369, Garfield and Arthur had received
214, and were duly elected President and
\ ice President of the United States to serve
for four years from the 4th of March next.
Senator Thurman, of the tellers, then an
nounced that were the vote of Georgia count
ed the result would be Hancock and English
155 votes, Garfield and Arthur 214, and in
any event the latter were elected. After the
announcement the Senate retired to its cham
ber, and both houses adopted resolutions to
the effect that the Constitution and the law
hail been duly complied with.
The Freshet.
Week before last wo had what you might
call a regular “ trash mover.” For instance,
it moved such large strash as bridges, fences.
&c. The rain commenced in the early part
of the week and continued until all of the
creeks and rivers in tho county were out of
their banks and creating havoc in the bottoms
and along the water courses. On Wednes
day morning the streams were up so that it
was impossible to cross the most of them, and
as a consequence parties who were interested
in court, who had gone home the night before,
could not make their appearance.
As usual, the county suffered a loss by the
washing away of bridges and damage to those
that remained. So far we have heard of but
four that are entirely gone, several more
damaged. And they are all on the South
Oconee river and the Mulberry. Two of them
—McClesky’s and McElhannon’s—were new,
having been put up last summer, but we learn
that their washing away cannot be laid to the
blame of the builder or anyone else. The
roads and abutments of several more were
washed out and damaged so that it was
impossible to cross the bridges until they
were fixed. Judge Bell is out now making
his arrangements to have all of them put in
first-class order and new bridges built wlicro
they are needed.
Grand Jury Presentments,
Jackson Superior Court, February Term,
1881.
We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for
the said term of said Court, would respectfully
make the following report: In person, or through
proper committees, we have examined the various
matters committed t<s our charge. Wc lind the
county officers under proper bonds, discharging
their duties faithfully and their offices kept in as
good condition as practicable.
ORDINARY.
The Ordinary is keeping all the books required
by law with remarkable neatness, and as far as
we could judge, with equal accuracy.
We regret to sec the great number of criminal
cases coming before our Courts, and believing as
we do, that a largo majority of such cases arise
from the use of intoxicating liquors, wc do there
fore recommend that the Ordinary grant no more
license for the sale of spirituous liquors in the
county, thereby giving great honor to himself and
obviating, as we think, the necessity of establish
ing a County Court.
pauper’s home.
We find the buildings in good condition, with the
exception of one chimney which needs some re
pairs. The inmates are well and comfortably
provided for, and express general satisfaction with
their condition, and in accordance with their
wish, wc recommend that the Ordinary purchase
them a milch cow.
CLERK AND TREASURER.
The committee report: Wc have examined the
books of the Clerk of the Superior Court, and we
find them neatly and correctly kept.
The amount of money in hands of T. 11. Nib
lack. former Treasurer, at the beginning of the
year ISBO, $13,710.03
Amount received during the year 18S0, 10,358.90
Amount paid out during the year 1880, 22,567.46
Amount on hand at the beginning of
the year 1881, 1,501.47
Amount received during the year 1881, 800.00
Amount paid out during the year 1881, 471.48
Amount turned over to present Trea
surer, 2,042.85
Amount on hand from taxes 1,500.00
Total amount $3,54*2.85
The above exhibit of the former county Trea
surer shows a payment to the present Treasurer
of $212.80 over the amount received, and we arc
at a loss to know how the error occurred, unless
by a failure on the part of the former Treasurer
to charge himself with the amount when received,
which, lwwevur, serves to show his sterling hon
esty aud integrity of purpose.
SHERIFF.
The books of the Slier ill were examined, and
found neatly and correctly kept.
TAX COLL ECU OR.
Wc found his books admirably kept, and his
duties performed according to law. The amount
assessed for county purposes for the year 1880,
$8,880.10; by receipts from Treasurer $G,000;
amount of money on hand $1,500; balance due
and in the hands of Constables for collection
$780.16.
JUSTICES.
After a careful examination of the dockets in
all the Districts, we find them correctly kept, ex
cept they only keep one docket.
Vacancies having occurred in the offices of
Notary Republic, we recommend the following
named gentlemen : For the 246 District, G. M
I). R. R. Perkins ; for the 255 District, G. M., W.
J. Goss; for the 428 District, G. M., Martin
Sims ; for the 455 District, G. M., Jesse Carter ;
for the 253 District, G. M., T. J. Stapler.
PUBLIC ROADS.
We find that man}* of our public roads arc in
bad condition, mostly, however, caused by the
long continued rains and heavy freezes of the
season, especially on market and other roads over
which there has been much traveling done. Pre
vious to this season the roads were in as good or
better condition than wc have ever seen them,
and although we do not attribute their present
bad state to the neglect of Road Commissioners
or overseers, we earnestly recommend that the
proper authorities have all the public roads put
in good condition as soon as possible. Wc fur
ther recommend that all bridges that have been
washed away or damaged be rebuilt or repaired
as soon as practicable.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
In general terms we find the Court House in
good order, except that from indications shown
in the plastering of the court room there is some
deficiency in the roof which wo have not been
able to examine closely, and that the mantles in
the Sheriff's office and the Grand Jury's rooms
are badly defaced. Wc also find that the Grand
Jury room the Tax Collector’s and Sheriff's
offices are occupied as law offices, and earnestly
recommend that these deficiencies be remedied as
far as possible, anti that these rooms be no longer
occupied as law offices.
We have examined the jail and find it unsafe,
we recommend the proper authorities to make it
secure at once.
COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
So far as wc have been able to examine the
work done by the County School Commissioner,
we find that the books of that office have been
properly kept, and that all teacher’s accounts are
accompanied with the proper vouchers. To fill
the vacancy in the county Board of Education
caused by the removal of G. W. Brown from the
county, we elect the Rev. J. C. Grow*} whose
term of office in said Board will expire with the
adjournment of the Grand Jury sitting at Febru
ary term ISS2. The public school work being
extensive and covering a large outlay of money,
