BREVITIES. rrCotton is just rushing through this town. CpDavc Hancock has had a severe spell of the mumps. npAdvertisements planted now will yield an hundred fold. John Patman, of Athens, was in the city last week. EIT Airs. Reinhardt is improving slowly, but is still very feeble. teP’Tho most of our law expounders arc interviewing the new Judge in Gainesville this week. Bell proposes to rout the pauper farm out for two years this time. See notice elsewhere. ElPThc railroad is on a regular boom. Mr. Blaokstock will strike the down grade for the river in a few days. E Stanley wears spurs. He is the first elerk that we ever heard of who was addicted to the habit. IVThc rain damaged the cotton crop last week at least fifteen or twenty per cent., and it is much harder to pick. are scarce. Don’t see why it is. It is too soon for the liens to get on their annual Christmas strike. Reinhardt says that imported mail carriers are a failure, and that Jim Randolph can have them all if he wants them. advertisement of P. 0. Vickery for Agents in another column. Mr. Vickery is Mayor of the City of Augusta, Maine, which is a sure guarantee that all will be fairly dealt with. EcT’Forty thousand feet of dry, square edged lumber, and twenty thousand feet of sheathing for sale at Lanier’s lumber yard, which can lie bought at low figures. R. W. (Wood) Hinton is now located at Cohen’s Paris Store, in Athens. Our readers should call and see him in his new place. lie will take pleasure in waiting upon his Jackson county friends. t~VWo call the attention of our readers to 11 arinony Grove’s latest enterprise—Massey's furniture store. You will find a proclamation from them in another column. You can make it to your advantage to call and see them when you want a set of furniture. Married, in Dallas, Texas, at the Grand Windsor Hotel, by Rev. Mr. Bourland, M. E. minister of Dallas, Miss Mittie Williams, daughter ofCapt. T. C. Williams, of Jackson county, Ga., to Mr. Paul C. Bigham, son of Rev. R. W. Bigham, of Athens, Ga. EiF'Our city was in imminent peril last Tuesday. There was but a single piece of meat for sale in town, weighing four or five pounds, and it belonged to Ancc Miller, who left his store, when an old sow came along and carried the precious piece of meat toll'. Then there was a lively and exciting race, for meat was meat, and could bring the money. The old hog was finally run down, kicked in the side, and when she went to squeal out her disapproval of the whole proceedings, she dropped the piece of Chicago hog and trotted off unmolested. E gPOur readers will remember that in our last issue we noted the fact that the wind on t he preceding Thursday had seriously injured several houses on a farm about a mile from town. Since then we have learned that it blew down a cabin near Maysviile, besides doing other damage. And at Wintervillc, six miles below Athens, on the Georgia rail road, a regular cyclone passed near the town, doing immense damage to cotton and other crops in the fields. From there it passed on over into Madison county, carrying destruc tion wherever it touched the earth. L<PYou will please note the advertisement of M. B. McGint3 r *s furniture store. We visited this mammoth concern a week or two since, and the stock was shown to us by the manager, Mr. Boone. Atlanta may have large furniture stores, but they cannot compare with McGinty’s, cither in the size of the stock they carry or in prices. Upon comparing prices, we find, from actual facts, that the people of this county can buy from McGinly for less, and save the freight from Atlanta. This is no assertion, but is based upon a comparison of the prices of identical goods from a bill bought in Atlanta. Then, when you want furniture, don’t go to Atlanta to buy when you can get what you want for less and save freight by going to Athens. SfPßosc Duke lias been making things lively since his appointment as Deputy United States Marshal. It was thought by many that it was an empty honor; that there were no violators of the revenue laws in these parts. But the contrary is evident, as recent develop ments will show. Mr. Duke has already executed several warrants for the arrest of parties in our midst, and on last Saturday morning, just before daj T ANARUS, he called at the house of Bill Watson, col’d, for the purpose of taking him in tow, but William, who was on the alert, succeeded in making his escape by knocking out a section of the side of his domicile, assisted by his faithful wife, who, in order to assist in the escape, knocked a hull’s eye lantern out of the hands of tfle would-be captors, putting out all the light that was available. The said William is a bard one to catch, as this is the second time that lie has escaped from the clutches of the olllcers, and had just commenced to get tame. Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. ■ Attention I Grangers. Ihe members of Planters Grange arc re- M'lested to meet at their Hall, near Hood’s on Thursday, the 20th instant, as ini- l Mi r,.ant business demands their attention. Ty order of the Master. J. 1\ lIyDSON, Notes from Thompson’s Gin. Editor Herald :—Before the war we used to go to the corn shuckings, and the boss of the corn pile would have on hand a great big jug full of good old corn whisky, made by Frank , or somebody else, and as soon as the negroes and low down white trash got two or three drinks apiece, the}' would com mence to sing, “Old Master's got anew gin, corn gwine along.” &c. The Thompson Brothers have bought anew gin, and the cotton is gwine along, &c. Well enough. Possibly no shoal in Jackson county has a brighter future than this one. Since the purchase of the new gin, we arc crowded day and night. It’s amusing to see the spectators —espe- cially the darkies—viewing our gin. It is a two-storied affair. Wc put the cotton up into a hopper, and it is then passed by iron spikes down into the gin. This hopper is so ar ranged by shackle bars that it shakes out all the dust, the buttons off the little boys’ breeches, loose nails, Barlow pocket knives and cat— Well, it’s a fine gin, and makes the best sample I ever saw. Tim is here to weigh the cotton for the boys, and sometimes we hear him smile at a distance of two and a half miles. Tim must, lie hollow clean down to his knees. Tom Ross passes by every few days, aud takes a peep into the lint room, goes off smil ing. as much as to sa\\ “that will do, boys.” Our sample made at this gin lias astonished the natives. A good rain. Turnips coming up. Col lard’s growing, and tobacco looks like it will do to chaw by late frost. Yours truly, G inner. September 18th, 1881. Parker & Camp Bros., of Athens, Ga., WILT. PAY YOU THE HIGHEST MARKET PRICE FOR YOUR COTTON. To Those Interested. I will be in Jefferson some time near the first Tuesday in Oetolier, and I desire that ail parties in this county who are still owing me to come forward and make a settlement by that time, either to me or my agents. Please do not make it necesary for me to force pay incut out of you. Very respectfully, John Simpkins. Notes from Hosch’s Store. There is an abundance of rain falling up here; more than wc need at present. Everybody picking cotton, when the weath er will admit; even to the gals pick. J Tis astonishing to look at John and Russ Ilosch's seventy saw gin, feeder and con denser ; it is the best rigged arrangement we ever saw. Captain Sage has reached the Federal road, at or near Barnett’s Academy, only three miles from Iloschville. Look out for the en gine when the whistle toots. Air. J. A. Blalock's exhibition will come off the 30th of this month, on Friday night. Guano doesn’t pay. Cotton is just as good where there is no fertilizers as where they used two hundred pounds per acre. How many bales of cotton will be given away this fall for the filthy stuff, that hasn’t profited the farmer one cent. Wouldn't give me a bale er cotton that way for less en fifty dollars, cause I’m no furtherner; that’s it. That ar fellow with the scar on his head is beating his way through life with a pair of number thirteens ; has sold his entire inter est in all the gals, he says, for a nickle. IIOOSIEK. Ilosch’s Store. Ga., Scj>t. 17th, 1881. Parker A Camp Bros., of Athens, Ga., WILL PAY' YOU THE HIGHEST MARKET PRICE FOR YOUR COTTON. Fair Notice! All parties indebted to J. C. & W. P. De- Laperricrc arc requested to eotne forward and make settlements. We are compelled to have money to meet our own obligations. Those who do not settle witli us by November Ist, will find their notes and accounts in an offi cer’s hands for collection. We hope all will save us of that unpleasant duty, and will come forward at once and settle. Most respectfully, # J. C. & W. P. DeLaperrieiie. Marcus, Ga., Sept. 23d, 1881. Notice to the Public. It has been intimated by parties who de sire to injure my business, that I have been dealing in whisky at my place of business in Harmony Grove. I desire to state that such is not the truth, and that the person or per sons who say that I am or have been selling whisky in that place, tell a most malicious falsehood, and cannot face me with the proof. Sept. lGth, ISBI. W. N. McDonald. HOW TO TREAT YOUR WATCH. Wind it up at the same time every day. Keep it in as even a temperature as possible. Sudden transition from heat to cold may cause the main spring to break. If you would keep it clean nev er put it in any pocket except one of leather. Those pockets which are lined with cloth, cotton or calico, give by the constant friction a certain Huff, which enters most Watch Cases and makes its way to the delicate parts of the watch. Sec that the pocket is turned and cleaned often, and take an old linen handkerchief and wipe carefully all the dust from under the backs, bezel and cap of the case. But above all you must be sure that the Case iits firmly. and to be sure of this, select one where the parts (center backs, cap, Ac.) arc each made from one piece of metal. The JAMES BOSS’ Patent Stiffened oit filled Cold Watch Case is so made, and not only does such a Watch Case become stronger and fit more perfectly, but it enables the manu facturer to turn and form three pieces of metal (the outer ones being gold and the inner one of an inferior metal) into shape for the round parts, making to all appearaces and practical purposes just as good a Watch Case as the solid gold, at about one-half the cost to the purchaser. There arc nearly one hundred thousand of these Watch Cases now carried, and their good qualities are acknowledged by the same number of happy possessors. All Jewelers keep them, also illustrated cata logues for gratuitous distribution. Ladies who Appreciate Elegance and purity are using Barker’s Ilair Balsam. It is the best article sold for restoring gray hair to its original hmmtiL—— Harmony Grove. lIY OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. —Rain in anv quantity. —A new merchant in a few days. —Our town is on a regular boom. —Cotton weighed well last Saturday. —Cotton is still coming in at a rapid rate. —One man sold cotton at 12 cents this week. —Hon.

Elizabeth Elrod, daughter of Jacob Elrod, died at her father's residence, in Jackson county, Ga.. August 20th, 1881. She professed religion and joined the Methodist church when a child, and from that time forward, until the hour that Death claimed her as his victim, lived a consistent Chris tian life. Her life was one of earnest Christian work. Whatever she felt to he her duty as a child of God she entered into the discharge of it with that modesty that made one feel that there was nothing haughty in her character. She was con tent to walk in the paths that the Master appoint ed for her. The latter portion of her life was that of suffering and privation, yet there were nomur ni firings that fell from her lips, but often the smile of cheerfulness would beam in her face. Her inmost feelings werj that her work was done, and she had nothing to do but to die to be with Christ, and she felt it would be far better than to remain absent from llim in the flesh. She prayed earnestly for the loved ones that she was leaving behind. Just before she died, she said to those around her that Jesus was with her, and the angels beckoned her to the home of the good. Love—pure, deep, ardent and holy—characterized her life. A. Coffins! Coffins!
