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. Personal Gossip. Jefferson has no idle young ladies. l)r. Rieuhardt is up and about again. Dr. Henry McCarty will be home in a few days. Miss Joanna and Johnny Compost arc in the city. A. 11. Brock and lady arrived home Thurs day evening. Mr. John McCoy has been quite sick since our last issue. Col. Silruan is attending court in Gwinnett county this week. Miss McCarty has two music scholars of j the male persuasion. Dr. Pendergrass has returned, and has commenced spinning his yarns. Rich Johnson is perambulating around through the country with some stock. Hill Randolph is courting over in Madison ! county this week with his patent gate. Rev. Mr. Grow is in Elberton this week, attending a meeting of his Presbytery. Coon Daniel, Fayette and Joseph Hunter have gone over to Lawrenccville this week. i Lots of the boys go up to Ilenry Iluman’s now. Wonder what is the attraction up ithere. A recent sufferer remarked in our hearing the other day that the mumps were terrible j swells. Harry Bell is a natural wit, and is grad ually gravitating towards the minstrel show ! business. Cicero Trout says that if he owned Jelfer son and Hades, he would rent Jefferson out and live in Hades. Mr. John Justice bought a plantation, out near Apple Valley, from Mrs. Margaret Carithers last week. Jim Williamson lias been appointed tem porary Administrator of Mr. Mike William son’s estate. This was a good selection. Col. P. G. Thompson says it is all a mis take about his name being Johnson. lie still sticks to being Thomas’ son and not John's 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 | day. When you come again you must take ! time to get out. Bob Deavours has gained the love and respect of the entire printing office force by putting anew well rope to the well on the Pendergrass corner. Several of the boys went up to Gainesville last Friday evening and attended the opening ball at the Arlington Hotel that night. They report a jolly time, &c. Miss Sallie Worsham, of Maysvillc, who won so many admirers, by her charming manners, during her stay here last Christmas, is visiting Mrs. Niblack, at Virgil. Miss Lula Rhodes has commenced her school near Jug Tavern. We learn that she has excellent prospects. In her departure Jefferson has lost one of its most fascinating young ladies. Miss Emma Duke, one of Jackson’s charm ing maidens, who has been spending some time with her sister, Mrs. Tom Daniel, in this cit}’, lias returned homo, much to the discom fiture of her swarm of admirers.— Gainesville Eagle. 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.

Eli Smith, of the Danielsville cir cuit. preached for us at the Methodist church last Sunday night. —All of the fire in our village was watered out last Tuesday night before our people would to napp3 r go. —Nearly all the patrons of the llarmon3* Grove Post Office are receiving a sample spool of John Clark, Jp’s, spool cotton. —The mumps are still raging, and some of our good citizens are still trying to dodge them. Better not try to keep out of the wwar,3 r , and they will not hurt 3 r ou so badty. —We have had a widower in town this week from a distant county, on the look out for some widow. For further particulars call on the writer, but don’t all come at once. —Mr. Jesse Butler, former!}* a citizen of Nicholson, went over into Banks county a few days ago and came back a happier man. Jesse says that it is not the teachings of the Scripture for man to live alone. —Charlie Baldwin, of Athens, was delight ed last Monday at receiving an o’possum of the “no bone and Calcutta” variet3* from Har mony Grove. At first sight of the beast 'tis said that lie made use of “I should smile,” and so he did. —Col. J. B. Estes’ address to the Sabbath Schools at the Baptist church last Sabbath morning, was, to say the least, just splendid and to the point. The Col. is not only a first class lawyer, but knows exactly how to make a Sunda3 r -school speech. —We had a full fledged beggar woman in our town on Monday evening, but some doubted her being an object ofcharit3*. Beg gars should be scarce when it is remembered that we have a first-class poor house, suited to the wants of all such people. —I hear of one of our 3*oung merchants who, when the fire alarm was being given on our streets last Tuesday, straddled a fire proof safe, armed with a broad-axe, threaten ing to extinguish all the robbers that would try to take advantage of the fire. —Harmony Grove had her maiden fire on Tuesday. A small log house that stood a short distance from Mr. R. A. Echols’ was discovered to be on fire about eleven o’clock. The building was an old structure and had probably been standing 25 years or longer, 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.

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.. A-. J. Kelly. Notes from Cunningham’s District. Editor Jackson Herald : —I thought as no one else was writing from this part of the county I would scratch you a few lines, though it may be time and paper thrown 4 away.

Mr. Teasdale Cal-. laway took dinner there on that da}', and lie. was also a victim to the poisoning. TRc symptoms were severe pains in the stomach, and violent vomiting. Some of the m/embers of the family were critically ill at one time, but by the next day had entirely recovered. It is thought the cows had been eating some, poisonous weed.” A young negro man, by the name of John Arnold, was accidentally killed in a shocking manner, on Tuesday of last week, at the saw mill of J.
