It was just about the largest we had ever scrutinized. Mr. Lord sa3’3 that he has made plenty of them this season, and plenty of other things in proportion. A good number of our citizens have been in town this week to pay their taxes, but were disappointed, owing to the non-arrival of the Tax Collector. We presume that Mr. Sailers will get his time extended, so all can have a chance. Collier lias at last located the depot at this place. It is in a Southwest direction, and about a quarter of a mile from the Square, on the land of Mr. J. E. Randolph. The location is a convenient one—acces sible from all points. The ground around it will be laid oil into con ' enient sizes for business lots, and sold at reasonable figures. Iltf’Mr. J. Fi. Randolph lias sold the old Green It.

The deceased had many friends in Athens.” les; he I had several customers up this way, as lie made honest guano. In his case it may be truly said that the man was absorbed in his business. 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 Banner. HENDERSON WAREHOUSE CO., Cotton Factors. Liberal Advances on Cotton.

People take it with good effect. It builds them up. It is not as pleasant to the taste as some other Bitters as it is not a whiskey drink. It is more like the old fashioned bone set tea that has done a world of good. If you don't feel right try Hop Bitters.— Nunda News. 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. Harmony Grove.

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.” TALMADGE, HODGSON * CO., GROCERS .A. IST JG Provision Dealers, Corner College Avenue and Clayton Street. 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.” Having purchased another Store- Room, I WISH TO REDUCE MY STOCK BEFORE MOVING, AND I WILL SELL AT COST FOR TIIE NEXT 30 DAYS. F. M. BAILEY.
