JACKSON SUPERIOR COURT.
August Term, 1894, Convened Last
Monday.
Promptly at 10 o'clock a. m., on
Monday, the 6th instant, appealed in
the oourt house, at Jefferson, Hon. N.
L. Hutchins, that eminent judge, and
Hon. R. B. Russell, the talented So
licitor General of the Superior Courts
of the State of Georgia, for the West
ern judicial circuit thereof.
The county’s stalwart Sheriff, B. H.
Collier, and his clever deputy, T. T.
Stapler, were on hand, ready to re
spond at once to the demand for as
sistance in organizing the court. The
very polite Clerk of Court, Dr. J. C.
Bennett, was also present to con
tribute his valuable services in the in
itiation of court proceedings Under
their skillful manipulation there was
soon “armed and equipped” a fine
working force for the dispatch of the
business litigant of the county, not
withstanding the incessant rainfall
during the business hours of the
morning.
The court bailiffs, W. M. Sailers, W.
M. Tolbert, J. M. Flanigan, M. G.
Graham, John Ayers and Ed. Church
well, from different sections of the
county, appeared and were qualified,
and, in answer to the venire, there

by request, delivered extemporaneous
speeches here during the noon re
cess of court on Tuesday, in place of
Colonel Robert L. Berner, of Monroe
county, who was prevented from fill
ing an engagement to make a Demo
cratic harrangue, and right royally did
they acquit themselves, too. They
showed Democracy unquestionably in
the ascendancy.
Next Saturday and Sunday will be
quarterly meeting at Bethany, and
the presiding elder, Dr. J. H. Lowrey
of Elberton, will fill the pulpit on
both days. He will preach to the
people of Jefferson to-night (Friday)
at the Methodist church. Everybody
invited.
The Horse-Swappers,
Court week has brought the never
failing hor*e-swapper to our town.
It is no small sight to see them ail
together on the bone-yard—as the
swapping ground is sometimes
called—each mounted upon his
matchless steed, inviting another to
make a pass at him. The jockey has
a vernacular peculiar to men of his
profession and is not understood by
a greenie.
If you wish to see horses of every
size, style, color and degree of fat
ness just go to the swapping ground.
There you can see the three-legged
horse, the one-eyed horse, and the
horse that will not do anything save
let fly into the air his hindmost feet.
The jockey is a clever, jovial fellow
—always ready for a trade and never
ready to back out.
Horse swapping is fast becoming
a profession, but it is to be hoped the
legislature will never put a tax on the
good-natured fellows.
Protracted Meeting.
Religious services will begin at the
Methodist church in Jefferson,
W ednesday night before fourth Sun
day in this month, and will likely con
tinue till first Sunday in September.
W e have the promise of some of the
best ministerial help in the Distriot,
and more than that, the Lord’s prom
ise to be with us, which we know
never fails.
Now, dear brethren and sisters, suf
fer a word of exhortation—won’t you
make all needed preparation, that you
may enter into the services with strong
faith and unyielding determination
to succeed!
Never were the times more demand
ing, the condition of society and citi
zenship more urgent. There are
times in the history of all men when
the opportunity to decide for light is
supreme ; to fail under such pressure,
and loose what might be gained, is
rarely ever recovered in after life. 1
am impressed that now is our oppor
tunity—the accepted time. Christ
wept over Jerusalem, but the city
was doomed.
I earnestly insist that everybody in
our town “come up to the help of the
Lord.” George T. King.
Mr. Wiley C. Howard of Atlanta
was circulating among his many
friends here this week.
Mr. S. A. Johnson, our genial
townsman, had the misfortune to get
two of on his right hand
severely mashed by a falling window
sash. The bone in the middle finger
was badly crushed.
Our Junior partner and wife are
taking in the Weekly Press Associa
tion, which met in Milledgeville last
Tuesday. We were a little doubtful
about trusting Tom in Milledgeville,
but hope his wife will see that he is
permitted to leave the town.
Uncle Ira Bette, as he is familiarly
known, was in town this week. Uncle
Ira is almost an octagenarian, and
will be if he lives till the 14th day of
this month. He is still able to travel
about and moves sprightly foe one of
his pgo.
Mjor W. E Simmons ol Liwrecco
viiio gave us a pltaeanfc call last
Thursday. Major Simmons is one of
the moss back Democrats of this sec
tion and is one of the best posted men
in Georgia oh all political questions.
He will take pleasure in meeting any
Third paity man in the State in joint
discussion.
The little ten-year-old child of Mr.
G W. Grimes of M< zelle died with
inflammatory rheumatism last week.
She was a blight, sweet child,and the
pet of her parents. She seemed con
science of her death several days pre
vious to her demise and talked to her
parents sweetly, tenderly and affec
tionately while on her death-bed.
The Congressional convention met
in Gainesville last Wednesday and
unanimously re-nominated Hon. F. G.
Tate, of Pickens county, for Con
gress. Every county in the district
was represented and absolute har
niony and unity prevailed. The Na
tional platform of 1892 and the State
platform of 1594 were endorsed. We
will give the proceedings in our next
issue in full.
The Third party in Hall and Gwin
nett counties is dead. Real dead,
too, for in the primary in Hall last
Saturday 2,171 votes were polled
Both parties polled only 2,700 votes
two years ago, and now the Demo
crats voted nearly that number them
selves. Gwinnett polled 1,847 votes
in a primary last Saturday, and the
county will go Democratic in October
by one thousand majority.
News has come to our knowledge
that, while the congregation was wor
shiping in Galilee church Sunday
night, aome unscrupulous miscreant
took off the taps that secured the
wheels to the axles of buggies. This
was a mean trick, and the person cr
persons who perpetrated it should be
punished speedily. We also learned
that a lady was hurt while going home
by the sudden falling to the ground
of the buggy. We feel assured that
if the grand jury now in session could
secure sufficient evidence the guilty
party would be indicted.
Two Cards.
Mr. Editor: In the issue of July
toe 27th of your j tper there appeared
a card containing a long list of names
thaw Cave Spring church Jisd circu
lated a false report in regard to the
charge being circulated that the
church had invited a colored preacher
to preach in said church. Now, Mr
Editor, we don t wish to ask space to
publish so many names as were at
tached to the piece of July 27tb, but
can give as many names as will be
needed. We wish to give you undis
puted testimony. Ret. J. J. Bennett,
our pastor, came to one of our mem
bers, on July 4th, and asked him if it
was true that we had invited him (the
said colored preacher) to preach at
Cave Springs: that they had been
pounding him (Bennett) on every side
and asking him if he was going to
preach to a church that had invited a
negro to preach to them, and he told
said member that he wanted the
church to investigate said report. On
Sunday Mr. John D. Williamson ap
proached Mr. W. F. Head and stated
that he (Williamson) had heard that
Cave Spring cfeurch had iqjited a
negro to preach at said church.
Now, in regard to the committee.
Mr T. J. Barber told, in the presence
of W. S. Bailey, W. F. Head, C. M.
Porter and W. B. Patrick, that Dr.
Morgan and J. W. Stockton told him
that C. M. Porter, W. F. Head and
W. B. Patrick were a committee to
invite said colored preacher to preach
at Cave Springe, and that they insist
ed upon him carrying his family out
to hear him. Dr. Morgan admitted,
in the presence of several witnesses,
that the report as to the said above
named committee, or parties, had
been told him, and that J. W. Stock
ton was his author.
Now, we can and will, at the proper
time, produce evidence to show that
the report was circulated, and that
tho church was right in denouncing
said charge.
Herewith we append the following
affidavit, which wo hope will satisfy
the public that the charge was false.
C. M. Porter,
W. F. Head,
W. B. Patrick.
affidavit.
Georgia, Jackson County.— ln
person appeared before the under
signed, a justice of the peace in and
for said county, J. O. Stockton and
W. F. Head, who,‘being duly sworn,
say that they met the Rev. Alf Pool,
colored, and he made the following
statement in regard to the preaching
at Cave Spring, and stated that he
had nevor been invited by any white
person to preach at that place what
ever ; that he had announced at two
plaoes that he would preach at Cave
SpriDg, or at David Fellows, colored,
and was invited by said David Fel
lows, colored, and that he did not
know that there was a church at that
place.
W. F. Head, Populist.
J. O. Stockton, Democrat.
Sworn to and subscribed to before
me, this July 31st, 1894.
W. B. Patrick, J. P.
Mr. Editor : — ln the issue of your
paper of July 27th there appeared a
card signed by seventeen of the good
citizens of Dry Pond community stat
ing that there never had been circu
lated among the people in that com
munity the report that Cave SpriDg
church had invited a negro preacher
to that church ; and also said, at the
bottom of the card, at the proper
time they could prove, by several sub
stantial witnesses, the correctness of
the above statement.
Now, Mr. Editor, if I know what
the word circulated means, it has
been circulated in Dry Pond commu
nity, for Mr. T. J. Barber told me, in
the presence of his wife and my wife,
that Dr. E. Morgan and J. W. Stock
ton came by his house and told him
about it, and told him he mußt go up
and hear him, and said that was the
report that was in circulation.
Now, I don’t live in Dry Pond com
munity, but am a member of Cave
Spring church.
Now, all of the gentlemen that
signed that card are honest, good men,
and, for my own satisfaction, I would
like to know the straight of the whole
thing, and let’s see who is responsible
for the report. Yours,
Sam C. Brown.

WINDER.
One of the first buildings ever put up
in Jug Tavern, the old store opposite Dr.
Bush's dwelling,' has been torn down,
preparatory to erecting a large brick hotel.
The memory of this old building will,
however, be perpetuated in a handsome
residence fronting on Candler street, be
tween Mr. Francis Jackson’s brick store
and Mr. R. L Carithers's elegant home,
as the lumber from this old building will
be used in erecting the new. The con
tractor says that this will be the hand
somest dwelling in our town when com
pleted.
Professor W. F. geagor is holding a
most excellent protracted meeting at
Galilee. Forty-three have united
with the church, and yet the interest is
unabated. A number of middle aged and
older people, I am told, are among the
number who have made a profession.
Mrs. Ilornaday, Misses Nina and Annie
Ilornaday.and Miss Goldsmith of Atlanta,
wishing to find a quiet, cool, healthy
place to spend the remainder of the sum
mer. have come to Winder, and are stop
ping for the present at the Kelly House.
In my communication of last week I
fear I conveyed the idea that Hans Chris

was not a native of Germany, but of
Denmark.

now to walk with a stick.
The great bell which summons the
students together at our college has
received a wound from which it seems
doubtful that it will ever recover.
Rev. J. J. Bennett preached a fine
sermon at Oconee on Sunday last.
His text was, “Ye are weighed in the
balance and found wanting,” and he
made use of “the handwriting on the
wall” in eloquent words.
The cemetery has been changed
from near Mr. D. W. Garrison’s to
the grove on the opposite side of the
church. We think this is a much
more appropriate place for the “silent
oity,” and the change has given gen
eral satisfaction.
The lemonade last Sunday afternoon
was quite a success. A large crowd
was present, and, so far as we know,
each received as much as they wanted.
Messrs. Prickett and Henry are due
the thanks of tho entire neighborhood
for this nice little treat.
Not lor>g since one of our prominent
young g nts was receiving an intro
duction to a young lady. They had
just bowed, and were passing com
pliments, when the merry voice of the
little six-year-old chimed out, “The
wedding cake is already baked.” This
so completely overcome the young
gent that it was several minutes be
fore he could regain his appetite, but,
after it did come back, he devoured a
large quantity of watermelon.

Several from our city attended court
at Jefferson this week.
Mr. F. G. Odell of Diamond Hill
was circulating among his many

comes, so we can get to read The
Herald.
PENDERGRASS.
Despite the threatening prospect of
rain and a chilly breeze that reminded
us of an October gale, the baptizing
on Sunday morning last was largely
attended. The recipients of baptism
were only three in number, yet the
ceremony was very much enjoyed.
The Methodist of this place will
begin their protracted meeting next
Sunday, under the direction of Rev.
Little. Rev. Bulk of Gainesville will
be here to give bis aid in the good
work; also, Rev. Braswell of
is expected. No doubt that through
the efforts of these three earnest
workers much good will be accom
plished.
The greater part of our male popu
lation are taking in court in Jefferson

tors, for, we are glad to say, none of
our people ever happen to be so lucky
as to be the personae of such acts as
are performed in the court room.

MA YS VILLE.
Died, on last Monday n’ght, Mrs.
Porterfield, wife of James Porterfield, of
this place. It will be remembered that
her sister, Mrs. Ben Watkins, departed
this life only a few short weeks ago. It
is quite a shock to the aged mother. Mr.
Porterfield’s other wife died just some
thing over two years ago. We extend
our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
husband and friends.
Our baseball team seems to be divided,
as some of them have quit playing here
and have organized anew club. But we
hope the boys will get right some of these
days.
The agricultural club at this place is
progressing nicely.
We are truly glad that we are having
such a good revival at this place. Rev.
Mcßee protracts here again this week, in
stead of going to Wilson’s church, as he
was to have done.
Jefferson seems to have some attraction
for some of our boys as they go that way
quite often.
The school at this place is flourishing
under the management of Professor
f’ooper.
Mr Charlie Moore is building a hand
some new residence,which, when finished,

Obituary.
It Is with sadness we write of the death of a
dear friend and cousin, Mrs. Rebecca Watkins,
wife of B. M. Watkins. She died In Maysvllle,
where she had gone on a visit, and was never
able to return to her home in the country.
Dear cousin—her sufferings are over; It glad
dens our hearts to know that she Is at rest, and
done with the sufferings and trials of this
world. No one could have borne their afflictions
more patiently than Beckle did. She never ut
tered a word of complaint. We know that all
was done for her that could be done by the
l-hysiclans. She was a daughter of Uncle
Shade and Aunt Annie Dean, of Jackson coun
ty. She was born November 6th, 1851, and has
been a member of the church since she was
thirteen years old; first Joined the Baptist
church, and after she was man led Joined the
Methodist, the ohurch her husband belonged
to. She was gentle, pious and loved by all who
knew her. She told her friends she was ready
and willing to go at God’s call. While she was
talking a few days before her death the melodi
ous strains of music floated to her ears, from a
choir In a church near by. She listened and
said: “I hear those sweet songs, lam happy on
my way.”
She said “I hear those beautiful songs,
I am happy, and on my way
And no w she's singing with the ransomed throng
In that land of endless day.
She said there was nothing she dreaded,
But leaving her husband below ;
We are glad that she was so ready
When Jesus called her to go.
Our fair lily looked wilted
When the time came for her to die;
But she was a flower transplanted
To bloom In the garden on high.
It Is sad to part with the ones we love,
And to lay them beneath the sod;
But I hope we’ll meet In that land above
With the blessed ones of God
Bbssie Andkhson.
Death Is In the land. It Is as natural to die
as to be born. Though It seems dreadful to be
thus separated from our loved ones, we have to
submit to God’s laws. Let us believe that death
makes their condition far better than when In
this life. It must be so, for God Is love, and
His mercy endureth forever; bt-and-by we will
see, 1 think, that life’s sorrows are all for our
good. It Is a comfort to us to have our dear
ones depart In peace, happy, and freed from
the Ills of this life. It Is also worth much to us
to feel that we did all we could for their com
fort while here; all within our power to relieve
their sufferings and smooth the pathway to the
end. Mrs. W.’s aliments were more than one
body can endure very long. It seems that she
was fated to be afflicted with some complaint

A Grand Feature
Of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is that whih
it purifies the blood and sends it
coursing through the veins full of rich
ness and health, it also imparts nev
life and vigor to every function of the
body. Hence the expression so often
heard: ‘ ‘Hood’s Sarsaparilla made a
new person of me.” ' It overcomes
that tired feeling so common now.
Hood’s Pills are purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless, always reliable
and beneficial.

Investigation Invited.
Of course it is proper to inquire, about
what any man says, Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is invited
into the testimonials published in behalf
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Special attention
is called to the high character of the per
sons whose testimonials are published by
the proprietors of this medicine, as evi
denced by kheir occupations or indorse
ments. In fact, no matter where a testi
monial in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla
may be from, it is reliable and as worthy
of confidence as if it came from your
molt trusted neighbor.
