JjpLast Sunday was a big time for
our colored brethren. They had an

that it was well attended will in no
wise exaggerate the size of the crowd.
saw’ some fine specimens of
corn grown by Andy Orr, col’d, on Mr.
Williamson McClesky’s place, on
Curry’s Creek. The stalks were over
eleven feet high, and had good large
cars to the stalk. It was planted the
2d of July and had suffered from a
month’s drouth.
colored friends of this place
had the grand school exhibition of the
season on last Wednesday and
Thursday nights. We did not attend,
but from those who did, we learn that
it was in every way a creditable en
tertainment. At the close they were
addressed by Prof. J. W. Glenn.
I jtPlf you want a treat, you should
time your next visit to Athens so as
to tako in some night when Manager
Jones has a troupe performing at
Dcuprce’s Opera House. It will be
money well spent, and you will not
regret it. The Opera House has been
thoroughly overhauled, a handsome
lot of new scenery added, and is in
first-class trim for the season.
FFMudgc Hell has saved hundreds
of dollars for the county by requiring
a complete and full compliance with
the terms of the specifications for
building the county bridges when the
same are let out to contractors. It is
strange, jet, nevertheless, true, that
most of the parties who bid oir such
contracts take them at remarkably
low figures, and expect to make the
profit by disregarding the specifica
tions. But Judge Bell invariably sets
down on this little game, much to the
cunning contractor’s woe and dis
comfiture.
A CARD.
Parties calling to settle their ac
counts will, in my absence, call on
iny father, Dr. S. McCarty, who will
receipt them. I hope all who owe
me will call at an eauly day and
pay me all, or as much as they can,
of their accounts. I need money very
badly, and must have it, and those
who fail to call on me, I shall call on
them often and continually.
Thanking you for your past liberal
patronage. I respectfully ask a con
tinuance of the same.
Most respectfully,
Your humble servant,
Oct. 7, 1881. J. 11. McCarty.
Fair Notice!
All parties indebted to J. C. & W.
P. DeLapcrricre arc requested to come
forward and make settlements. Wc are
compelled to have money to {meet our
own obligations. Those who do not
settle with us by November Ist, will
find their notos and accounts in an
officer’s hands for collection. VVe hope
all willsave us of that unpleasant duty,
and will come forward at once aud
settle. Most respectfully,
J. C. & YV. P. DeLaperriere.

Personal Mention.
Miss Myrtie McCarty is visiting in
Atlanta.
Mrs. Tandy K. Randolph is seri
ously ill.
Col. S. P. Thurmond, of Athens, is
in the city.
Capt. Naumann was in the city on
yesterday week.
Mr. A. 11. Brock and family started
for the Exposition yesterday morning.
John Whitehead was in Atlanta last
week, and Brant Maxwell was boss at
the Post Olflce.
Lena Bailey, youngest daughter of
Mr. F. M. Bailey, has been very sick,
but is improving.
Ilose Bennett lias a stalk of cotton
with one hundred and fifty bolls on it,
all matured. He will carry it to the
Exposition.
Dick Williams, one of the cleverest
boys that ever left Jackson county,
has gone to Texas. He is now sojourn
at Fort Worth. ;
Tom McKlhannon moves out of
town every other year and makes
enough to support him while he spends
the next year in town.
Frank Pendergrass and lady took
a trip to Oglethorpe county this week.
Frank has returned, hut Mrs. Pender
grass will remain for some time yet.
Dr. Pendergrass went out on a
collecting tour one day this week and
succeeded in getting three dozen eggs,
and [>aid the money for them at that.
Jim Williamson says that he will
not issue any more marriage license
unless it is clearly proven that the
female is gray headed and snag tooth
ed.
Thos. Harrison smiled on his
numerous friends and acquaintances
around this burg last Saturday and
Sunday, lie appears to enjoy Athens
life, notwithstanding the O'Farrell
Bros, work him hard.
Dr. Seale, Frank Glenn and Brant
Maxwell started out last Tuesday
morning for a trip to the mountains.
If the present cold spell continues the
Doctor will have to give them a sermon
on Hades, to keep them warm.
Frank Glenn closed out his school
at Logansville week before last, and
has returned home with a moustach
that looks like anew ground with only
half of the trees cut down, the other
half being deadened and left stand
ing.
A sudden call to Atlanta prevented
our Harmony Grove correspondent
from preparing his usual weekly letter
from that part of our bailiwick last
week. We did not recieve a notice
of his departure in time to have his
column supplied.
We arc glad to learn that our fellow
townsman, Col. A. L. Barge, has ob
tained the position of superintending
the exhibit of Artificial Limbs of the
very celebrated establishment of A. A.
Marks, 691 Broad way, New York, at
the great Cotton Exposition in Atlanta.
It was reported on our streets that
last Sunday morning would witness
another runaway couple, but some
thing must have failed, as it did not
come off. We presume that either an
irate parent or the refusal of Judge
Bell to issue any more license, except
to widows, was the cause.
Esquire Polk Boggs is one of the
most obliging J. P.’s you ever saw.
For instance, he received a notification
not long since that a runaway couple
would be likely to need bis services,
and for him to be ready at a moment’s
warning. So, not to be a stumbling
block in the way, he sat up all night
in his Sunday clothes, and kept awake
by repeating the marriage ceremony.
Johnnie Ross, Borio Hunter and
Allan Holliday left our city last Mon
day morning for Nashville, Tenn.,
where they will enter the Normal
school. They left many sad hearts
amongst our fair ones, and it is even
said that tears were shed. We extend
our best wishes to the boys, and hope
that they will honorably illustrate
Georgia in their new home.
Tom Niblack was roaming around
his plantation with his wagon and
team, meditating upon the price of
cotton, and drove his team into a
yellow jackets nest, and, in his frantic
efforts to get out of the trouble, tried
to lift the wagon, mules and all. The
consequence was that he had to lay up
with a sprained back for several days.
To Those Interested.
I will be in Jefferson some time near
the first Tuesday in October, and I
desire that all parties in this count}'
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
payment out of you.
Very respectfully,
John Simpkins.

turnip crop.
—Mr. G. W. McGinnis has been
appointed bailiff in place of E. 11.
Ingram, Esq., resigned.
—Messrs. A. T. Bennett and J. B.
Silman made good records as legisla
ture members during the late session.
—I went up to Atlanta last week
and saw the Cotton Exposition build
ings. They arc whales, n and don’t
3011 forget it.”
—Mrs. C. T. Burgess, who was once
a resident of Jackson county, but wh©
resided in Banks, died on the night of
the 3d instant.
—lt is generally predicted, by
people that profess to know, that now
corn will bring SI.OO per bushel by
the Ist day of November.
Bradstrcet's commercial corres
pondents have got some of our mer
chants in a “ shaky” condition, to the
delight of a few enemies.
—Last Monday was a regular July
da)' in two respects—it was warm
enough for icc and dull enough to
want a good hand to fan you.
—Col. A. Louis Barge was iu town
last week shaking hands with the boys.
The Col. lias a host of. friends over
here, and he knows exactly who they
are.
—Messrs. D. M. Nix, J. C. White
head and 3’our humble correspondent
put up at the 11. Kimball House last
week at $3.00, and on the first floor
at that.
—lf everybody will read the Bth
page of the Daily Constitution of the
2Dtli Sept., the)’ will find some of our
merchants in a serious condition and
in need of mone)\
—According to Bradstrect’s register
in Atlanta, our merchants are in a
terrible pickle. But the Atlanta drum
mers are inclined to the belief that
Bradstreet don’t know everything.
—Mrs. W. W. Jordan, recently of
Forsyth, Ga., has just opened up a
millinery establishment. The ladies
think it a perfect bonanza. Can’t
hear anything now but new bonnets
and late style dresses.
—All the merchants are expecting
their customers to come up promptly
and settle their accounts. This ha 9
been an exceedingly hard year on the
merchants, and if you want to do them
special favors now is )’our time.
—‘‘Our Emory” is furnishing the
boys with seed wheat. If he would
only send enough for a ** turn,” so that
we could go to mill, it would make us
smile and vote about three times.
Flour would be better than “seconds.”
—The following is the quotations
of the cotton market in this place, on
Thursday, October Gth : Good Mid
dling, 11£ to 11| ; middling, 11 to
111 ; low middling, 10| to 10*. Eggs,
12£ to 15; chickens, 10 to 20; oats,
90 to $1.00; seed wheat, $2.00.
—The good farmers of Banks, Jack
son, Madison and Franklin counties
are bringing in their cotton, and seem
to be proud that cotton will liquidate
their accounts for supplies furnished
them during the summer months. And
think of it just one moment, how it
makes the merchants grin from car to
ear.
—“ Sociables,” so called, are getting
to be common in our village. Who
cares if the young people do shake
their joints a little just for the sake of
exercise, and then the revised edition
says that people used to dance and
some times took a little wine just for
stomach’s sake. It don’t say that
they were sick at the stomach.
—The Hood, Power & Cos. g ; n was
bought by Durham, Wi’.liamson, Key
and Thurmon last week, and is now
running with a speed that astonishes
the natives. They also have a Clark
cotton cleaner that will get dirtenough
out of a bale of cotton to make brick
enough to build a chimney, and will
make cotton worth about four dollars
per bale more than ordinarily.
—Dr. J. T. Curtis, who recently re
turned from a camp meeting atMays
ville, N. C., reports the following sad
occurrence : Rev. W. 11. Weaver, of
the North Georgia Conference, preach
ed a very impressive sermon at eleven
o’clock, and on his way home a short
time afterward died suddenly. The
deceased was a man much beloved,
and his sermon on that occasion will
be remembered a long while by his
many friends.
—A burglar entered the ticket office
at our depot last Saturday night, and
went for the cash drawer with a piece
of iron. From all appearances, he
did about two dollars worth of bard
work and did not even get a nickle.
Burglars in this town will have a slow
time getting up change. A few years
ago our shop keepers learned a serious
lesson, and now it is almost impossible
to get a man to trust even himself
with a nicklc at night. If they have
no safe, they are supposed to carry it
off and bury it. Burglars would come
better speed with a ditching shovel
out in the corners of fences than finding
cash in stores or offices. A five dollar
gold piece will be paid the would-be
burglar of last Saturday night, and a
solemn promise made that he will not
be prosecuted, if he will just come up
like a man and acknowledge how good
he felt after about two hours hard work
without any reward.
Public Days.
FIRST MONDAY.
On last Monday Judge Bell called
the Court of Ordinal to order and
announced that he was ready for busi
ness. Outside of some minor matters,
the following business was transacted :

not have the pleasure of selling any

to the courts.

Don’t forget O’Farrell Bros. & Cos.

goods, hats, boots and shoes. Above
all, don’t forget that O’Farrell Bros.
& Cos. are the headquarters for flour,
bacon, lard, coffees, sugars, teas, and
anything in the grocery line.
A Hew Form Book.
Messrs. Silman & Thompson, of the
Jefferson (Jackson county) Bar, will
soon have out a Hand Book of Legal
Forms, plainl)’ printed and securely
baund in law sheep.
We append below the opinion of seve
aal of the ablest law)'ers of the State as
to its adaptation to the wants of
lawyers, county officers and business
men in general. Comprehensive as
the work is, the authors propose to sell
it at five dollars per copy. Parties
desiring copies will be supplied, as
soon as the work is issued from the
press, by addressing the authors.
Atlanta, Sept. 2Gth, 1881.
Under special employment for the
purpose bv’ Messrs. Silmau & Thomp
son, I have carefully examined the
collection of legal forms which they
have prepared. Asa result of the
examination, I can and do recommend
these Forms, each and all, as safe and
sufficient. They are calculated to
serve the wants, not only of attorneys
at law, Ordinaries, County Commis
sioners, Clerks, Sheriffs, Coroners,
Justices of the Peace and others
engaged in administering the law or
executing its process, but also, in some
degree, of business men in general,
such as merchants, bankers, brokers,
factors, &c. Even mechanics, planters,
farmers, and their emplo) T ees, ma) r
consult them with advantage, and on
many occasions save time and expense
by using them. I think they may be
followed with confidence—with full
reliance upon their acourac)’.
L. PL Bleckley.
The Joint Committee of the Senate
and House of Representatives, ap
pointed under the resolution of Decem
ber 3d, 1880, to examino and report
upon the Hand Book of Legal Forms,
prepared by Messrs. Silman & Thomp
son, of the county of Jackson, submit
the following report:
The manuscript was presented to
the committee after the commencement
of the present adjourned session of the
General Assembly. It was divided
by the authors into five parts, one of
which was thoroughly and critically
examined by each member of the com
mittee ; after which the whole work
underwent such examination as the
limited time and opportunity would
permit. The committee are satisfied
from this examination that the forms
contained in this volume are safe and
sufficient, as well as concise and ac
curate, and are therefore adapted to
the general wants of those who wish
to use legal forms.

Among Our Advertisers.
During a recent trip to Athens we
dropped in to see the most of the mer
chants who advertise in the Herald
for trade from our citizens. We found
the most of them busy with their new
stocks and looking after customers.
They all have large stocks of goods
and seem cheerful, notwithstanding
the short crops, Alt were anxious to
learn about the prospects up this way,
and appeared contented when we told
them that our people were not as bad
off as they would have others to be
lieve. The Athens merchants have
just awakened to the value of Jackson
county trade, since there is a great
possibility of losing it. Before, they
used to consider it as a matter of
course ; now those who are interested
in the future welfare of the city are
anxious to make available every
means that will secure it.
\
Amongst the more noticeable stocks
we will call your attention to that of
the Cohens, at the
“ PARIS STORE.”
They have opened up the handsomest
lot of fall and winter goods ever
brought to that town. Indeed, their
store is of itself well worth a visit, and
an examination of their stock will do
you good. It is the most complete
store in the place, either for gentle
men or ladies goods. But for a more
particular description of the same we
call your attention to their large ad
vertisement, to be found in our col
umns.
We would also have you to note the
fact that
MR. CHARLES A. SCUDDER
has just finished his trade as watch
maker and jeweler, and has located at
Brumby’s Drug Store. Mr. Scudder
is certainly well qualified to do work,
having served a long apprenticeship
with Mr. Mandeville, and for the last
three years he has been perfecting
himself in his profession in Philadel
phia. He has supplied himself with
all of the new and improved machinery
necessary to perfect his work, and is
undoubtedly competent to do the best
of work. Should you have any work
in his line, y’ou need not hesitate to
entrust it to his skill, and can rely
upon prompt and skillful attention.
Before closing this article, we desire
to call vour attention to
PARKER & CAMP BROS.,
the live grocery men of Broad Street.
They are just giving their goods away,
and it takes lots of clerks to wait upon
their customers. When you go down
you must not fail to drop in and see
them. They will soon convince you
that you arc wasting time and money
b3 r not trading with them. They will
not be undersold, and all you have to
do is to go and price their goods.
Now, us in the past, O'Farrell Bros.
& Cos. are prepared to offer special in
ducements in the grocery line. Our
coffees are of the best, sugar of the
finest quality, teas unsurpassed in
grade or price, whilst our fancy
grocery department is complete in
every detail.
Obituary.
Mrs. II AKIM et C. Pentecost,
daugter of William and Elizabeth
Baugh, was born in Gwinnett county.
Ga., April 16th, 1849 ; joined the M. E.
Church, South, in 1867; was married
to John C. Pentecost Dec. 13, 1870.
She then united with the M. P. Church,
of which her husband was a member.
She died in Jackson county, Ga., Aug.
11, 1881. Such is the brief synopsis
of a life full of Christian heroism, and
crowned with abundant usefulness.
She leaves a husband and four chil
dren, to whom she was devoted, but
through faith in Christ she obtained a
complete victory over natural desires
aud affections. Although she deeply
felt for sorrowing ones left behind, she
joj r ously welcomed the call of her
Father to come home. She is gone
before. We have lost one of earth’s
fairest flowers, but the air is still
fragrant with the odor of her beautiful
life. Her end was peace ; she felt her
Saviour was with her, and “ His ever
lasting arms were underneath her.”
Her departure w r as simply going home.
It was the exile returning to her
Father's house ; and though a cloud
of sorrow had gathered over the
stricken home circle, yet it has a silver
lining, and through its interstices the
hope of the resurrection and immor
tality flashed like sheet lighting behind
an intervening cloud. The weary
sufferer has passed within the “ pearly
gates,” and, “ In the sweet by and by,
we will meet on that beautiful shore.”
Melville. S. Williams.
To the Patrons of the Harmony Grove
High School.
Having accepted a position in the
Hartwell High School, I will sever my
connection with the Harmony Grove
High School at the closeofthe present
session, October 7th. And as I will
leave immediately after the close of ray
school, I desire that all persons in
debted to roe will settle their accounts.
Those who do not settle will find their
accounts, after October 10th, in the
hands of W. 11. Simpkins.

because we give the finest qualities

In Memoriam.
Carter Ilill Lodge, No. 268, F. A.
M., in meeting assembled, September
10th, 1881, acknowledge the heavy but
merciful hand of a wise Providence in
taking from us Carter llill, our first
and our only Master; our father, our
brother, and our friend ; and not only
our friend, but the friend of mankind l .
From whom the faint always found a
word of cheer, the weary found rest in
his house, the bereaved had comforts
from his lips, and the poor was never
turned from his door without relief,
lie was a tender husband, a devoted
and faithful father. While he was
alive to the interests of his county,
and filled every position of honor en.
trusted to him with credit to himself
and honor to all of his constituents,
his life and energies were devoted to
the interests and happiness of his
family ; whose place cannot.be filled,
and whose like we will seldom look
upon again.
Brother Carter Hill was born within
the present limits of. Walton county,,
on the 18th day of March, in the year
1805, and died on the 30th day of
July’, 1881,"aged 76 y r ears, four months
and twelve day’s. lie was made a
Mason in Rockwell Lodge, No. 191,
F. A. M., while the Lodge was held at
Jug Tavern, in the year , ——, and:
lived to the day’ of his death a zealous
worker, a strong supporter and a true
friend ofMasons ; ever keeping before
him as a privilege the grand principle
held sacred by all true Masons—who
can best work and best agree is enti
tled to honors that is not as an air-,
born bubble in a stream.
We have no words with which wo
can express our sorrow at having been
deprived of such a worthy brother,
lie was one of the characters in which*
the graces were all highly cultivated,
being affable, kind and affectionate.
He seemed to have attained in the
highest degree to Faith, Hope and
Charity, three of the grand Christian,
graces, held sacred by all worthy Ma
sons. But, notwithstanding his use
fulness, it pleased our Heavenly Fath
er to call him up higher, and now faith
has changed to sight, prayer to praise,
and we, Carter Ilill Lodge, do bow to
the will of God in his Providence,, for,
though w T e have a vacant seat, and a
new mound in the family cemetery,
our faith’s eye can find joy in looking
to the happy re union above, and wo
anticipate the joys of heaven. Our
Lodge, which bears the name of our
dear brother, though dead, shall speak
in our lives. 11 is memory we will
cherish, his example we will try to,
imitate, and never sever the relation
ship that does now, and has ever ex
isted between ourselves, but will keep
in fond remembrance until we shall be
granted a participation into the bliss
he now so fully enjoys.
It is a blessing to live, a greater to die,
The best of the world is a path to the sky. -.
How hopeless were sorrow,
llow narrow were love.
If they look not from earth \
To the raptures above.. .

and heaven has gained’a rich treasure.
Resolved 2d, ThatAhe community

S3’mpathy for the wile and children of
our dear brother, who are so sadly be-,
reaved. You may feel that
in this Lodge you will find willing
hearts and ready hands to help in time
of need.

llerald, Walton News and Walton
Vidette be requested to publish this
obituary, and a blank page.of our.
