CF’Thcrc is evidence that a corner in tlic corn market in Chicago is being formed. This will run the price of grain up in the Southern States also. llpMlarvey Johnson, Frank Glenn and John Ross took a big hunt last week. They bagged turkeys, squirrels, ’possums, birds, &c., in large quanti ties. ItTMarried, on the 20th day of September last, at the house of Mr. Peter Cronic, by the Rev. John 11. Cronic, Mr. M. P. llaynes and Miss S. F. Cronic, all of this county. JjpLast Sunday was a big time for our colored brethren. They had an Association down at Poplar Station church, on the Athens road. To say 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. J/urcctf, (J i., Sept. 23 J, 1381. 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. Dress goods at 10c. per yard at O’Farrell Bros. & Cos. Give them a call when you go to Athens, aud ex amine Iheir stock. - . Harmony Grove. 15Y OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. —A nice rain ha3 brought out the 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 : Letters of Dismission from the Administration of the estate of Frances C. Cosby were granted to W. P. Cosb)\ Also to C. M. Wood from the Admin istration of the estate A. M. Loggins, dec’d. Letters of Administration were granted to J. R. Crane upon the estate of John I. Colt, dec’d. Letters of Guardianship were granted to W. J. Wallis for the property of A. M. Wallis. Leave to sell land was granted to J. B. Pendergrass, Administrator of Hugh Sargent, dec’d. Also to Jas. L. Williamson, Administrator of M. Williamson, dec’d. Also to Nancy and J. W. Lyle, Administrators of J. B. Lyle, dec’d. Leave to sell rail road stock was granted to Z. T. Niblack, Guardian of P. L. Niblack. The case of Thos. 11. Niblack, Administrator of John A. Long, dec’d, vs. John Simpkins, former Adminis trator, was continued b) r the court on terms. SALE DAY. As usual, Tom McElhannon did not have the pleasure of selling any porperty on last Tuesday under execu tion, although he had one piece adver tised. He wa3 stopped b) r a legal process from some of the parties in terested, and the matter will go back to the courts. The Gatliright lands were rented. The home place to Mr. A. W. Potts for $265.00. The Pace place for $45.00. The Flannigan lands sold for slOl and were bought by Mrs. Sarah Flannigan, who owned the other half interest. This closed the day’s proceedings. On next first Tuesda)’ 3 t ou may expect to see a lively time of it, as the list is a long one. Don’t forget O’Farrell Bros. & Cos. sell dress goods at 10 cents per)’ard. Don’t forget O’Farrell Bros. & Cos. have a complete assortment of dress 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. Kespectfully, M. L. Parker.

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.. . Resolved Ist, That we have lost • and heaven has gained’a rich treasure. Resolved 2d, ThatAhe community has lost a good man, whose loss wc can but mourn. Resolved 3d, That we will try to , profit by his example, that we may be made his companion in rest and joy. Resolved 4th, That we express our 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.
