Parker & Camp Bros.
About the middle of January the above
firm opened out in Athens with a first class
stock of groceries and provisions, and the}'
arc fully prepared to meet any amount of
trade that may come along. The members
of the firm arc well known to the rnbst of our
readers. The senior, Mr. Scab. Parker, has
had a business experience extending through
several years, a great portion of which time
was spent with Center A Heaves and Reaves
& Nicholson. During the last year he was
one of the firm of Parker, O'Farrell &. Cos.,
and contributed no little to the success of
that enterprising firm. Dave and Henry
Camp are familiar names all over Jackson
county, and it is generally known that when
they take hold of anything they are bound
to succeed if there is any possible chance to
make anything out of it. They are Jackson
county boys to the manor born, and old
Jackson has never yet l ad cause to disown
them.
With such men to direct the business, and
with ample capital, it will be remarkable in
deed if anything but success is ever inscrib
ed upon their banner. They have entered
the field fully competent and prepared to
meet any kind of competition. Their motto
is, “cheap goods for the cash.” They know
that they must sell cheap if they propose to
stay in the field, and they have made up their
minds to sell honest goods at living figures.
When you go to Athens call and sec them,
they are in the business part of the town,
and have a large store room full of goods of
every description that you can find in a first
class grocery house. We venture the asser
tion that their stock of canned goods con
tains the largest assortment of any store in
the city, and they have a little of most any
article you may call for.
Having a due regard foryoru pocket-hook,
it will indeed be strange if your own inter
ests docs not dictate to you to give them a
call and get their prices when you go to Ath
ens. But go anyhow. We warrant you kind
treatment and low prices.
Make a Good Selection.
Next Tuesday, the 15th inst., there will be
an election in this town to fill out the unex
pired terms of two members of the Town
Council, who have resigned. We take the
present occasion to say to our fellow-citizens
to think well, and make good selections, for
the office is of more importance than you
think. You should therefore make ■wise se
lections. Get your most liberal and upright
men, if you possibly can. It takes wisdom
to run a town government.
The peculiar state of affairs now prevailing
in our town makes this election an important
one. There is great dissatisfaction with the
present state of affairs. The present town
government has not the support of a large
portion of the citizens of tiic place, and nu
merous are the grievances that arc laid at
their door. All who arc dissatisfied can now
have a chance to put in some new material,
that may, in a great measure, neutralize some
of the objectionable features. Now is the
time, and in behalf of those now in, we be
speak a faithful support, and possibly they
may do better in the future. We ourselves
do not admire many things of the new admin
istration, yet we think it poor policy to con
demn them in every particular, for we well
know, from a like experience, that they can
not please everybody.
Therefore, look about you ; choose your
best men ; put them in the vacant seats, and
give the whole concern a fair trial and faith
ful support, and if they don’t please you
dump them out at the next regular election
and never put them in again.
G. J. N. Wilson’s Report.
We intended last week to call the especial
attention of our readers to the report of our
County School Commissioner, published in
that issue, but our space prevented us from
so doing. The report is well worthy of men
tion, and the Grand Jury did well when they
gave it so much prominence in their present
ments. It is remarkable for two things, viz :
It exhausts the subject, and is so plain and
simple that it does not require an expert in
figures to unravel its mysteries. And again,
it reveals a remarkable state of affairs and
unfolds to the public lots of important, and,
at the same time, amusing statistics ; it places
them in a light so that they can be under
stood. One can from this report form a good
and satisfactory idea of what the public
school system is doing for our county. The
report speaks for itself in such glowing terms
that we will not go into details in regard to
the subjects therein discussed, but simply
call your attention to the facts set forth. The
county is lucky in having such an officer, and
should retain his services as long as possible,
for one who can make his work so plain as
this report makes Mr. G. J. N. Wilson’s, is
certainly a treasure.
LIFA minstrel troupe will occupy the
stage of our Opera House in a few weeks. It
jistobe an amateur performance. The boys
! are so bashful that they have requested us to
keep sileut upon the subject, but we just
| can’t keep it. llow could we make a paper
| if we kept everything a secret? It is our busi
-1 ness to tell things. But, to return to that
minstrel troupe, we forgot to state that they
are going to make a good show. There is
| talent in the crowd, and they will make it
| count.
£_3PMr. McMillan, the Lawrcnceville mail
tells us of an accident that happened
i last week during the wind. Some workmen
over near the Gwinnett line had raised a
house, and were working on a scaffold around
it. when the wind blew it down and carried
them with it. No serious injury was received
b}' any of the workmen, but one or two got
bruised up considerabty. The house fell on
j a work bench where one of the workmen was
! at work but a lew minutes before the accident.

son.
Mr. Adam Williamson, who lives betwen
here and Harmony Grove, was in town last
week. This was his second trip to Jefferson
since the war.
MissMyrtic McCarty hasopened the spring
term of her music class. From the size of
the class at the start the prospect is very
encouraging.
Jim Medlin and Ilenry Christy, two of
Athens’ boss typos, were in the city last Sun

Joe Collins and Miss Susie Randolph rode
down to Jefferson horseback last Tuesday
evening and spent the night with relatives.
They both rode one horse, but reversed the
old fashined style—she rode in front instead
of behind.
Bill Goss, of Harmony Grove, was in the
city last Sunday. But William is such a
modest and timid boy that he was afraid to
come down in town and swap lies with the
boys. The next time you do so we are going
to cut your acquaintance. So beware.
Grandpa Trout is a philosopher in more
j than one respect. But he astonished a select
circle the other evening, who were descanting
! on the beauties of farming, by injecting into
| the conversation the remark that the Good
! Lord never made his hands to fit a hoe handle.
Miss Mary Carithers was in the city last
Sunday. We learn that her music class is
very large and engrosses all of her time.
Competency and pluck will tell. We rejoice
to see a woman who has talent brave enough
to use it and become a bread-winner instead
ot a burden. They will always command the
respect of thinking people.

The building was an old structure and had

and when the fire was first seen the roof was
in full blaze. At first it seemed that it was
useless to even attempt to save the dwelling,
but might and will showed a prevailing influ
ence, and after a hard struggle by our citi
zens for a few minutes, a victory was won
and the dwelling was saved. The boys all
worked so well that it would be hard to name
the hero or heroine, but be it said we had
both. The damage to Mr. Echols will not
probably be more than fifty dollars, and a
larger portion of this was the breaking of
furniture, &c.. which was hastily torn down
and thrown from the dwelling. The cabin
was used as a sleeping room for one of Mr.
Echols’ workmen, and he thinks that the
house caught fire from a heating stove that
was used in the house. The cabin that was
burned was of but very little value. One side
of his dwelling is considerably charred, and
has the appearance of having been at a fire.
An insurance agent is expected daily.
On the Death of Sallie Hardman.
llarmoxy Grove Baptist S. School, )
March 6th, 1881. $
The officers and pupils of this School have
felt a pride and satisfaction at our success.
Indeed, we have been instruments in the
hands of God of doing much good in training
the youth in this vicinity. We have passed
through a very severe winter ; and just before
the spring time of life bursts upon us; just
at the time when the youths are the happiest;
and just at the time when the older people
rejoice to see their offspring gay and cheer
ful ; just at this time we are called upon - to
give up one of our brightest and most cheer
ful pupils—Sallie Hardman, aged 13 years,
departed this life February the 7th, A. I).,
1881. After an illness of about a week, with
Typho-Malarial Fever, she was no more.
Sallie, our School will miss you, and more
especially will your teacher and class-mates
miss you ; but most of all, father and moth
er, brothers and sisters will miss thee around
the fireside and family altar. Thou art very
dear to us as a school, and dearer to thy
class-mates and teacher ; but dearest of all
to thy fond parents, brothers and sisters. At
first thought we would grieve at thy depart
ure, but upon reflection the truth is brought
to our minds that this is useless, because it
will not bring thee back, nor will grieving
satisfy our minds. We arc here on earth,
suffering with the cares and anxieties inci
dent to life ; thou, departed one, art in the
land “where there is no sorrow.” At best
we arc unsatisfied with our conditions in this
life; but thou art in Glor3*, singing praises
with the redeemed Spirits around the throne
of God. Why grieve, then ? Better rejoice,
because Sallie is in Heaven.
Wc, the committee, for and in behalf of the
School, offer sympathy to the parents, rela
tives and friends. Ma3* God bless them and
reconcile them to this loss they have sus
tained.
Resol veil Ist, That the parents have lost a
dutiful and affectionate child, and our School
a prompt and industrious pupil, and the
I community has been deprived of a good
Christian character.
Resolved 2nd, That the foregoing he spread
upon the Sabbath School records ; that the
parents be furnished with a copy; and that
the Jackson Herald and the Christian In
dex be requested to publish this preamble
and resolutions.

The Prospects of Jefferson and Jackson
County.
There arc times of adversity and times of
prosperity in the lives of all people. Impres
sion and elevation, darkness and light, pain
and pleasure, sorrow and joy, often succeed
each other in rapid haste in the march of life.
Often the reality of the one condition is not
fully realized until wc are in the transit to
the other. Sometimes the state of adversity
is the means of a change of that condition.
In the fall wc gather strength to rise. Like
the frost bitten plant that puts forth new
leaves more vigorously than before, we la3 T
hold of the means at hand with increasing
interest to overcome the difficulties in our
way.
What is true of individuals is true, of com
munities, towns, cities and nations. Twenty
years ago the real value of the lands, water
power, timbers, Ac., of Jackson county were
but little known beyond its own limits. In
deed, its own citizens did not value their
advantages. Like the lion, unconscious of
its stFcngth, they did not know the. advan
tages they possessed. Outside of the county
j our advantages were not only not well under
stood, but were sadly disparaged.’ In certain
; sections the fact of ones being from Jackson
| county was regarded as the synonym of igno
| ranee and stupidity.
The prospects of Jefferson long since the
! war were anything but flattering. The adop
tion of stringent municipal laws, and their
hasty and imprudent enforcement, evoked
the united opposition of many of the good
citizens in various parts of the county. Ppli
ticians fanned the flame of opposition to the
county site. Its real and imaginary evils
were flaunted before the people until it was
actually thought that the town would and
ought to go out of existence. Such was the
intensity of the opposition that it was impos
sible for a time to erect suitable county build
ings, and when the Ordinary was compelled
to build a Court House, a determined effort
was made to remove the county site. What
a cloud hung over the people of Jefferson 1
How potentious of evil! ! While the majority
had no fears of the success of the rcmovalists,
ail deplored the unhappy state of things as
being against their material prosperity.
“But times change, and men and things
change with them.” The depression of the
people of Jefferson was the gem of their pros
perity and future hope. Having succeeded
in the erection of anew Court House, suita
ble for fifty or a hundred years, they took
hold of the old Gainesville, Jefferson and
Southern Railroad enterprise, long thought
to be hopeless, with an energy and spirit
that has known no abating, and will know
none until complete success crowns their
efforts. While many clear headed men
thought the project would fail after monc3 T
had been spent, the indomitable energy of
those engaged in the enteprise has put to
flight all reasonable doubt of the early com
; pletion of the road. Much work has already
| been done on the upper end of the line, and
j the whole road has been located and a very
suitable depot selected, and wc confidently
believe that the welcome whistle of the loco
motive will be heard ere the close of this
year, in its dail3 r trips to and from onr town.
Indeed, we arc assured that the road will be
running months before the close of this year,
if the subscribers to the capital stock of the
Compaq* will pay in their assessments as
they arc called for.
Since the war there has been an increasing
tendency of the people in lower and middle
Georgia to move up the country, and Jackson I
county has shared largely in accessions to i
her population. The Northeastern Railroad
has brought the advantages of the county to !
public notice, especially that part of it lying
along its line. Improved methods of farming
have been adopted, and remunerative crops
are now gathered upon lands which a few
years ago were regarded as worthless. The
price of real estate is constantly advancing
in all parts of the county, especially at Jeffer
son. And yet a sturdy farmer remarked the
other day that he thought farms were cheaper
in this county than any place he knew, ac
| cording to their real value.
With these new methods of farming, now
so generally adopted, and the constant influx
of population from other sections; with a
railroad running to our county site, and the
consequent increase and activity in business
and material improvements; with a railroad
on the eastern border of our county and the
prospect of another one on the opposite side
of the county, reaching to Jug Tavern, and
what county in the State has a better outlook
than old -Jackson ?
Let our people show their appreciation of
these advantages, not l>3* asking enormous
prices for their property, but by selling rea
sonably low to comers who will add continu-
to the wealth of a*l. .Something might
be said in regard to our moral and religious
status and educational advantages, but these
will be deferred until another time..
