I"^*While you are knocking around
in Gainesville you can do no better
than to call into DuPre’s store and see
what he lias not got. But you must
first read a list of the many attractions
that he has announced on our first
page. You can take it along and
compare his stock by his advertise
ment, and the only conclusion that
you can arrive at is that lie lias not
enumerated one-fourth of his vast array
of goods. We have examined his
mammoth stock, and must pronounce it
complete. He can clothe you whether
you are male or female, and then he
can feed you upon most anything that
you would like to eat.. He buys hi3
goods to sell them, and keeps a vast
army of clerks to wait on liis cus
tomers, and as a consequence his prices
are low ; in fact, so low that you will
think in every instance that you are
buying a bargain. You must go and
price, and we will warrant you that,
you will buy. Our Jackson county
friends will be pleased to learn that
Mr. J. N. Twitty is with Mr. DuPrc.
Newt will be more than glad to wait
on his old friends, and will see that
you arc handsomely treated.
John Wilhite’s ’Possums.
John Wilhite loves ’possum and ,
taters as well as any man, and, what
is more, John always has what he
wants, so lie started out this fall to la}’
in a supply of’possum meat —lie had
the taters already. After two or three
nights hunt, which resulted in the
securing of several small and scrawny
looking specimens of the smooth tailed
race, John gave up in despair and
pronounced the ’possum crop a worse
failure than that of cotton. He was
loath to uive up liis visions of feasts
on juicy ‘possums, surrounded with
piles of sweet potatoes and gravy, so
he took to the idea of putting the
'possums up in a pen and fattening
them. The plan was no sooner eon
cieved than it was put into cxocution,
and John started right after the
‘possums. Night after night his hunt
ing horn could be heard in the surround
ing neighborhoods mingling with the
baying of his faithful hounds and the
sound of the ax as some huge monarch
of the forest was laid low because some
sickly, prowling ’possum, intent on a
baitofpersimmons, had been surprised
when far away from his den and had
sought security on its lofty limbs. The
game was secured in a large box and
well fed, and the next night the process
was repeated, and the lucky hunter
estimated that he had almost enough
to have a baked ’possum every day till
Christmas. Going one day to ex
amine his pets, he discovered that he
must have made a mistake in the count,
asjic did not have as many by half as
lie thought he had. In a day or two
lie looked in on them again, when he
was disgusted to find that the last one
of them had made his departure. This
led him to investigate, and he found
that they had escaped through a small
crack that had been overlooked. John
studied over the matter for a little
while and gave a sigh of relief, as he
remarked that he would not have a
'possum that could get through a hole
of that size no how, and lie has con
cluded to take his potatoes with
persimmon beer.
Gin House Burned.
On last Saturday night, just before
da}’, the gin house at Hood’s mills was
discovered to be on fire, and was
burned to the ground, also the wool
carder, just below it. It is not known
how the fire originated. There was
thirteen bales of cotton lest, besides
the houses and machincr}’, which was
wortli at least three thousand dollars,
as it was all in first-class condition.
The property was owned by Mr. C. W.
Hood, of Harmony Grove.
In Advance of the Railroad
Comes W. Jay McDonald, of Gaines
ville. with Ills Fire and Water Proof
Cement Paint for roofs and fences of
all kinds, and we heartily welcome
him. He has done a great deal of
painting in Gainesville and Jefferson,
and given entire satisfaction to every
body. We will say just here that we
have seen it tested, and are convinced
sufficient to advise everybody to have
it put upon their roofs, as it will pro
tect them from fire and preserve them
from rotting.
The Walton News savs : '* A man
in jail, convicted of stealing, refuses
to play cards, because he is a member
of the church.” We consider that
rnau a crank.
Our Future.
While we are deeply interested in
all of the towns and communities that
will be benefited by the advent of the
Gainesville, Jefferson & Southern rail
road, }'et it must be admitted that it
is natural for us to be peculiarly con
cerned about Jefferson’s future pros
perity, consequently our readers must
excuse us if we sometimes get enthu
siastic over her possibilities.
In the present instance we wish to
take a cursory view of what our sur
roundings will be when we are con
nected with the balance of the world
by our railroad. For some time to
come we will, from necessity, be con
fined to a trade derived altogether
from the handling of the agricultural
products of the surrounding country,
and this alone would make any town
prosperous, for where can you find
better and more prosperous communi
ties, or better lands than those that
surround Jefferson ?
Under these circumstances, it is
safe to say that, with the necessary
energy and capital, our town can soon
rank among the first of the State. We
have all of the natural advantages,
and only need people to come and
take hold of them. This place can at
the start handle nearly four thousand
hales of cotton, for it is made right
around here, and the most of it passes
through here every season on its way
to other markets. With the other
agricultural products that will be sold
and the distribution of guano at this
point to supply only its legitimate
surrounding territory, you will see at
a glance that there is here now a fine
opening for four or five more first class
stores and several minor industries,
all of which are necessary to make a
good trading town.
With the addition of these, it will
not take our town long to build up a
first-class reputation as a trading cen
ter, which, in turn, will induce others
to bring their capital and embark in
business with us.
This is just a picture of the imme
diate prospects that our town offers,
and only in one particular field, while
there arc many other inducements
that can be held out to people who
wish to settle amongst us. For in
stance, our educational advantages
are inferior to no town in the Southern
States. Here you can give your chil
dren superior advantages, and at a
nominal cost. It is hardly necessary,
then, for us to remind our citizens of
the fact that they are now building
beyond their most sanguine expecta
tions, and that with a broad and libe
ral policy to all new comers, they can
build up a town that will have but few
superiors in the State.
New Streets.
We would suggest to our city fath
ers the propriety of commencing at
once to open out the necessary streets
to get to the depot, so as to make it
convenient to all.
There should be two streets run
ning at right angles from Gainesville
street, besides the one that will run
directly to the depot from the Square.
The first should be opened out between
Col. Pike's and the Court House, the
next one should commence between
Mrs. Duster’s and Mrs. Carithers’ and
extend on beyond the railroad. The
street running up by Tom Niblack’s
should be widened and changed 90
that it would run into the Lawrence
ville road between the John McCoy
property and the Mitchell house. This
change would make it meet the two
new cross streets at almost right
angles. Then there should be another
street running parallel to this street,
either near the depot or beyond it, and
it should extend across from the Law
renceville road to the Athens road.
Other streets could he opened, or
these could be extended, to meet the
necessities of the case and the conve
nience of our citizens, but the ones wc
mention are necessary now, and par
ties are waiting on the decision of the
Council.
An Elegant Wedding.
On Wednesday evening, 16th inst.,
at Gillsville, a wedding in railroad
circles took place, which was one of
the most elegant of the season. The
contracting parties were Mr. W. W.
Foreacre, assistant road master on the
Northeastern railroad and son of
President G. J. Foreacre, and Miss
Eula, daughter of Mr. J. N. Garrison,
agent of the road at Gillsville. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. 11.
R. Bernard, superintendent of the
Northeastern.
A special car with a large party
consisting of Col. Foreacre and fami
ly and a number of special friends
came up to Lula on Wednesday af
ternoon, when it was taken by an en
gine sent up from Athens for the pur
pose, and brought to Gillsville, where
the marriage took place soon after its
arrival.
After the ceremony a delightful
supper was partaken of by the assetn
bled guests and mirth and happiness
ruled the hour. "Mr. Foreacre, the
groom, is a young gentleman of sterl
ing qualities, and occupies a resposi
ble position with credit to himself.
The bride is quite young but is a lady
of rare talents and possesses all those
accomplishments which fit her to ful
fill the new duties she has assumed as
helpmeet to her husband. Both the
young people are very popular and
received the hearty congratulations of
their assembled friends. —Athens

Hop Bitters. You see it everywhere.
People take it with good effect. It

it is not a whiskey drink. It is more

MAKING WATCHES.
Defective Watch Cases are one of the
chief causes of so many watches not being
goorl time pieces. The cases being thin
and not fitting well, admit dust and dirt
to the movement, which soon interferes
with the running parts of the watch, ne
cessitating cleaning, repairing, &c., and
the amount thus paid out, if applied to
ward buying a good case in the beginning,
would have saved all this trouble and ex
pense. Wc have recently seen a case that
meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and
still remains perfect. We refer to the
JAS. BOSS’ Patent Stiffened Gold
Case, which has become one of the staple
articles of the Jewelry trade, possessing
as it does so many advantages over all
other watch cases, being made of two
heavy plates of solid gold over a plate of
composition, and wc advise all our rea
ders to ask their Jeweler for a card or
catalogue that will explain the manner in
which they are made.
It is the only Stiffened Case made
with two plates of gold, seamless pen
dants and center, solid joints, crown
pieces, &c., all of which are covered by
letters patent. Therefore buy no case be
fore consulting a Jeweler who keeps the
JAS. BOSS’ Patent Stiffened Gold
Case, that you may learn the difference
between it and all imitations that claim to
he equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewelers.
Ask to see the warrant that accompanies
each case, and don't be persuaded that
any other make of case is as good.

GEORGIA AIAVN.
Augusta Neivs: W. L. Edmunaon and
A. Callaway, two citizens of Wilkes
county, each tied some strings on white
cotton blooms on the 17th day of last
September, for the purpose of ascer
taining whether or not such late
blooms would mature. The cotton
bas since opened and been picked.
A great many people, says the Gazette ,
firmly believe that cotton a3 late as
that will not open. The strings were
tied on the first day these brooms were
open, because they were white at the
time.
Lumpkin Independent: “We learn
that Jessie, son of Mr. J. P. P. Ilarrell,
was thrown from a young colt he had
rode to Antioch Church, in Webster
connty, on Sunday last. The horse
became unmanageable from some un
known cause, and threw Mr. Harrell
violently against the ground, causing
internal hemorrhage, which produced
his death at four o’clock on Monday
morning following. Tne deceased
was about eighteen years of age, aud
was quite a largo man for his age,
weighing over one hundred and seven
ty-five pounds. This sad calamity is
to bo deplored, as he was a most ex
cellent young man, in the vigor of
manhood, and the mainstay of h s
father.”

The Talbotton Register reports the
following “ frightful occurrence” :
“ Mr. A. P. Wimberly, of Centreville.
has several little boys who are very
fond of hunting. On a recent occa
sion one of the little fellows, not wish
ing his brother to find it. secreted a
small bottle of powder in the fire-place
of the family sitting room, covering it
up with rubbish. On Saturday morn
ing last two of Mr. Wimberly’s little
daughters. Lucy and Fannie, aged
respectively about five and seven
years, had occasion to kindle a fire in
the fire-place, not knowing that danger
lurked so near them. The fire had
gotton only under slight headway,
when hang went the powder, scatter
ing the contents of the whole fireplace
over the unsuspecting little girls.
Both of them were burned quite seri
ously in the face, legs, arms and heads,
and are suffering intense pain.”
Gainesville Eagle: “The sad and
tragic death of A. I), llenderso ■ is
still fresh in the minds of our people,
though the horrible deed was perpe
trated over a year ago. We do not
now wish to recall the bloody affair,
or even to go into the details as to how
he came so tragically to his death.
Suffice it to say that after his mutilated
body was discovered in the ravine in
the rear of the Georgia Baptist Female
Seminary by two urchins, and after
the Coroner’s inquest, Nat and John
Woodliflf, colored, were arrested,
charged with the crime, loged in jail
and subsequently had a preliminary'
examination, but owing to some hitch
in the testimony, they were discharged.
The excitement was intense, and num
bers of the best citizens of our city
were determined; if possible, to avenge
the crime. But the cycle of Time
soon lulled the angry volcano of hu
man passion, and the cruel and brutal
death of poor Henderson was dropped
from the minds of our citizens. It is
a true adage that ‘the mills of the gods
grind slow, but they grind exceeding
ly fine.’ It is a well-known fact that
we have in our midst two as good de
tectives as any city in the South can
boast of, and although the general
public had quite forgotten the circum
stance connecting this mysterious
affair, yet our detectives were silently
working up the case, which culmina
ted in the re-arrest of the above named
person, who is now safely lodged in
jail. Time and space will not permit
ns to go into a full detail of his trial
this week. We will give it in full
in our next.”
A dispatch from Louisville, Ga., to
the Atlanta Constitution say's ; “After
a heated trial of five days, the jury in
the case of the State vs. Obediah Ross,
charged with murder, Friday night
at 11 o’clock brought in a verdict of
guilty'. Ross is white, aged about
thirty and of rather prepossessing ap
pearance. The deceased, Nathan
Cornwell, was a merchant of wealth
and prominence in the county. On
the night of November 30th, 1877. his
store was discovered wrapped in dames
Afterwards his charred body, with
out arms or legs, was found in the
ruins. The circumstances of the burn
ing were such as to arouse suspicion
of foul play, and detectives were em
ployed to ferret out the facts and ap
prehend the guilty parties. The stories
of the detectives—how one of them
suspected a certain clan, how he in
gratiated himself into their confidence,
went hunting, fishing with them, stole
cotton, made keys to unlock cars, plan
ned with them deeds of murder and
arson and plunder, and finally obtain
ed from them a confession of having
commuted the Cornwell murder, and
of the other detective, how he was
placed in shackles, carried to Dade
coal mines, donned the stripes of a
convict, assigned to work by the side
of Washington McDaniel, one of the
suspected parties, but who subsequent
to the burning had been sent to the
mines on charge of another murder,
how he related to hi in deeds of wild
exploits and received from him a de
tailed account of the Cornwell murder,
and the subsequent arrest of some half
dozen parties charged with the mur
der ; their stories if written out would
read like romances. On the trial the
defendants severed, Obediah Ross be
ing first placed upon trial. James
Newton, a co-defendant, will he tried
next week. Judge R. W. Carswell
presided during the trial. llis charge
to the jury was a splendid exposition
of the law, clear, forcible, comprehen
sive. Ross will be sentenced to the
penitentiary for life.”
