To the Colored People.
1 lie colored people of Jackson county* are
requested to meet in the Court House, in
Jefferson, on the second Saturday in April
next, for the purpose of securing representa
tion in the jury box of the county. A large
turnout is expected.
By Order of the Meeting.
Public Days.
Last Monday morning Judge Bell opened
his Court on time, and transacted the follow
ing business:
Letters of Administration were granted to
J. W. Strickland and John I. Pittman upon
the estate of John I. Parks, dec’d. Also, to
Jas. L. Williamson, Clerk, upon the estate
of Thos. Dalton, dec’d. Also, to Rebecca
Caspar upon the estate of David Caspar,
dec’d. Letters of Guardianship were granted
to W. F. Anderson upon person and property
of Elias Maynard. Leave to sell land was
granted to J. N. Williams, Guardian for J.
M. Williams. Also, to W. S. Flannigan to
sell lands of estate of Julia F. Burson. Also,
,to T. 11. Niblack, Adm'r of J. A. Long, dec’d.
The last case was hotly contested by some
of the heirs, who claimed that the land could
be divided in kind. Judge Bell decided to
sustain the petition of the applicant, and the
case was appealed to the Superior Court.
The will of Stephen was offered for probate
in solemn form, and will be attended to at
the next term of the Court.
SALE DAY.
The first property put up was tbe Weath
erly land, but it was withdrawn upon notice
of the filing of an application for homestead
by W eatherly. The brick store, belonging
to the Baileys, was then put up and knocked
off to Mr. Levi Martin for $528. The lot in
Maysville, belonging to the estate of Amanda
Logglns, was sold to Dr. Hampton for
$108.25. The Willhite land and Thompson
land was not offered for sale. So this closed
out the list.
Maysville Notes.
Mu. Editor :—Appreciating your kind re
quest in solicting news from different locali
ties, your correspondent will again trespass
upon your time and space, with a few more
notes from our village.
The cold snap through which we are pass
ing is a surprise to all; something very
unusual for this season of the year— bavin"
snow on the first day of April. The Blue
Ridge mountains presented a beautiful ap
pearance from Hampton hill.
The matrimonial fever seems to be prevail
ing in our midst.
The quietude of last Sabbath morning was
interrupted by a report that a runaway match
was about to take place, between two well
known parties living nearby. Of course such
a report could not pass unheeded by your
reporter, who is ever qui vice in gathering
the news. All the arrangements had been
made the day previous. Our worthy J. I\,
Mr. Sandford Wilson, had beeo requested to
be present at an early hour, near the place
where tbe important event would take place.
As the hour approached the accommodating
J. I s ., accompaned by sevaral friends, repaired
to the spot, in Ellisonville, near the junction
of the road leading to the young ladies home
—a beautiful place for such a romantic oc
currence. Here we found the young man with
his assistants. Ilis appearance betrayed
some doubt as to the result, but be was quite
resolute. It was so arranged that he was to
appear at the young ladies house, at about
the usual hour of going to church, with his
horse and buggy. The young lady was to
join him and then make their way as quickly
as possible back to the J. I s . All things ready,
the youg man started. He was soon lost to
view, but the anxious spectators, quite a
number of whom had gathered by this time,
had not long to wait before they saw him re
turning, but not he was successful.
A few more minutes and they were before the
Esq r. They consented to the solemn vows
imposed, and they were pronounced one.
This occurrence will long be remembered as
the most novel and pleasant our community
has ever had. The interest manifested can
be imagined, judging by the number of persons
present and by those who, at some distance,
had ascended to the second story of their
residence, to have a better view of the cere
monies. The parties concer ed were Mr.
J. B. Ayers and Miss Etta Looney. May
they enjoy a life long happiness and pros
perit)L
A rumer is afloat that before the close of
this week another fair maiden will be plucked
i rom our midst; a near relation of our former
Clerk being the fortunate winner. She will
be missed by all, and Pleasant Hill will lose
one of its attractive features in her departure.
Miss Lula Coleman, who has had charge of
Gravel Creek school for some time past, will
have her closing exercises this week. She
will leave Saturday to spend some time with
her sister, Mrs. Evans, near Jefferson. She
has made many warm friends since her first
arrival here, she has also exhibited a devo
tional love for her school, by her punctuality,
that cannot be surpassed.
Miss Emma Whitehead, whose parents live
near Nicholson, is attending Capt. Evans'
school. She is boarding at Pleasant Hill.
Respectfully, Leo.
Maysville, Ga., April 4 th, 1881.
Teachers’ Institute.
Mu. Editor :—Pursuant to announcement
made in your paper two weeks since, the
Jackson County Teachers’ Institute met in
Maysville the first of this month. Owing in
part to the exceedingly cold weather, and in
part to obligations at home, only a few of the
members were present.
Supposing that the Secretary will send you
an abstract of the proceedings for publica
tion, I will not occupy your space with the
doings of the Institute, and will ask only
room for a few incidents and reflections. It
was cold, I tell you ; if you doubt it, go to
Maysville and take testimony. While wait
ing in the wind for a railway train to pass, I
learned that our quick transits have not yet
annihilated time ; and I learned another thing
at Maysville, I know now, exactly, what a
“blizzard” is! But wc found hospitality
open hearted, warm hospitality, and we ap
preciated it, for “ poor Tom was a-cold” and
wanted some hot- coffee, and he had it with
many other good things. As you may know,
Maysville is an elevated place, with all the
northern end of creation open, and the winds

BITTERS
from \ onah anti Currahee sang a Joud,
lullaby while we slept gloriously.
I will say we had a good time at the In
stitute, for if we had not many teachers we
had a good number of listeners, for the citiznes
of Maysvillo turned out freely, and every
teacher had a fair chance to talk.
The goddesses of health and beauty are
not strange deities in that region, anj’ more
than the Lares and Penates ; (is that a la peda
gogue, Mr. Editor?) for we found there n
largo proportion of ruddy cheeks aod bright
eyes, and more than one pair of the latter, we
suspect, were watching for your coming, and
we heard many inquiries as to why you were
not present.
It is not so difficult to account for }’our
absence, though it would certainly be, if you
you had seen the three pretty girls that we
met at the Captain’s; but, Mr. Editor, wc
confess to some surprise at meeting so few
of the teachers. Editors, mechanics, mer
chants, farmers and all professions have as
sociations for miftual benefit and improve
ment, and all seem to appreciate the advan
tages of such institutions more than the
teachers. Yet the teacher professes to be,
and ought to be, in advance of all the others.
The man who undertakes to develop mind
ought surely to be in the vanguard of the
army of progress ; but we find a vast propor
tion of them in the rear. Is this because they
have no common or business sense, as many
say ? I believe it has been a prevalent idea
that a school teacher has no appreciation of
common, every day business. I once heard
an old, wise Professor say, “the reason
teachers w ill not meet to consult, i3 because
each one thinks he knows it all.’’ I have
also heard it said, recently, that the teachers
of Jackson county were afraid to assemble ini
convention, lest each should discover the
ignorance of the other. I cannot believe
either of the above reasons for the small at
tendance. Indeed, I know that many of our
teachers have common sense, do not profess’
to know every thing, and are willing to learn.
It must be a want of interest or something of
that sort—perhaps not knowing the great ad
vantages of the Institute.
Let them all meet in Jefferson the first
Friday in July, and I think the}' will come
again. Surely no patron will object to the
teacher leaving his school for two or three
days in the year in order to better fit himself
for the work. I cannot believe any one so
illeberal; even if it be so, the time had b *tter
be made up in extra work than for tiie teacher
to lose all the advantages of consultation at
the Institute. Let every teacher then be
present at the next meeting, and let the friends
of education lend the aid of their counsel.
Cato.
Grateful Women.
None receive so much benefit, and none
are so profoundly grateful and show such an
interest in recommending Hop fitters as
women. It is the only remedy peculiarly
adapted to the many ills the sex is almost
universally subject to. Chills and fever, in
digestion or deranged liver, constant or peri
odical sick headaches, weakness in the back
or kidneys, pain in the shoulders and differ
ent parts of the body, a feeling of lassitude
and despondency, are all readily removed by
these Bitters.-— Couraut.
In Memoriam.
Miss P hoe by Lvlc, daughter t of.Jarpcs B. and
Nancy Pyle, was born in August. 1849, and died
March l!)th, 1881, after a painful illness of about
two weeks. For several years friends and loved
ones had seen with aching hearts the .fearful in
roads disease was making upon the once rosy
checks and large bright eyes, but none dreamed
ithat its dreadful work would so soon be done.
She has a large circle of relatives and friends to
mourn her untimely death, yet from the home
circle will she be most sadly missed, and to her
mother, brothers and sisters the blow is espe
cially crushing. Daily she cultivated those grace.*
which adorn a bsautiful Christian character, lly
her sad death we are admonished to be ready, for
the young and happy can die as well as the old
and careworn of earth.
That was a dark day. and there were sad hearts
in that house, when, after the lapse of live short
days, the father, James B. Lyle, was borne to
his last resting place, besides his daughter and
brother Dilmas, who wasburied on the 18th day
of October last. It was the aspect of the earthly
side only, that carried with it darkness and grief.
That which awakens the thought of severed ties,
perished joys—the sadnqss of the last farewell—
two lights “gone out,” home made desolate. The
heavenly side is bright, full of prophecy and
promise of something better beyond. We sorrow
not as those who have no hope. The light that
shone so brightly for many years, and the one.
that shone only a few years are not extinguished,
but removed to that high and unclouded sphere .
where they shall shine with a brighter luster,-"’
forever and forever. At the ago of fifteen he took
upon himself the name and faith of Christ, and
united with the Methodist church at Center, lie
tented regularly at Wood's camp-ground, and his
life was another undisputablc evidence of the
power of the Gospel of Christ. When he was
told that his daughter was dead, he said. “ ’Tis
no more than I expected, I will soon follow her.”.
lie also told them not to have her funeral preach
ed, saying he wanted them both preached at onc.
He was the father of thirteen children, nine of
whom survive to mourn his loss. He was born
Novembe'r, 1811, making his age nearly 70 years.
Asa church member, he was unassuming, yet
firm and punctual in the discharge of his duties. ‘
lie took the Bible for “the man of his counsel,”
and tried to live according to its teaching. May
we also take it for our guide, and meet him over
the river, there to praise God forever and forever.

A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE.
New because it is only within thclast few years
that it has been improved and brought within the
reach of every one; old in principle because the
first invention was made and the first patent taken
out nearly twenty years ago, and cases made at
that time and worn ever since, are nearly as good
as new. Read the following which is only one of
many hundreds, your jewelers can tell of similar
ones:

Patent cases fifteen years and I knew it two years

Remember that Jas. Boss’ is the only patent
case made of two plates of solid gold (one outside
and one inside) covering every part exposed to

over electro-gilding is apparent to every one. Boss’,
