Ground was broken Tuesday pre
paratory for building anew office for

most desirable side of town especially
for printers because we have so much
water.
We already have a most useful
combination of neighbors towit:
three doctors, three lawyers and an
undertaker, but there is room for one
more and the Argus will be quite a
desirable aquisition.

IN LOVING REMEMBiRANCE
of Mrs, Meredith, who died at her
home near Stark, the twenty-second
day of March. It was sad to give her
uo, but just to think she has gone to
rest beyond the skies. She was loved
by all who knew her, she lived a
Christian life, was ready to help when
ever she was culled. Loved ones just
remember the words she spoke, *' I am
ready to die.” It is sad to give her up
but remember the good deeds she has
done in the past.
Mrs. Meredith joined the church
when she was eighteen, and has lived
up to the time of her death, a good,
kind, helpful and useful woman. She
lived to be eighty-four years, eight
months and eight days old. Oh how
sad it is to part with her. but live a
Christian life and meet her some day
beyond the skies. She leaves three
daughters, several grand-children and
other relatives and friends to mourn
her loss.
’Tis sweet, to meet, but sad to part.
To give up a loved one, that broke,
your heart,

A Voice they loved is stilled.

The boon His love had given.
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

Triumph of Heredity.
The other college hoys were hazing
the new freshman, who was the son of
a clergyman.
“You will be required,” they said as
they stood him on a table, “to preach a
sermon.”
“I’ll do It, gentlemen,” he answered,
“on condition that you do not interrupt
me until I have finished.”
“We promise.
“Will you kindly furnish me a text?”
“You will preach a sermon,” thc3'
said after consulting together a mo
ment, “on Cerberus.”
“On Cerberus, gentlemen? Great
Sc”-
“That’s text enough, sir. Go ahead.
You are wasting time.”
“All right. Cerberus It Is. My hear
ers, the subject of this discourse nat
urally divides itself into three heads.
As you have been kind enough to prom
ise not to interrupt me I shall occupy
your attention only half an hour on
each. I remark, firstly.” etc.
They stood ft patiently for fifteen
minutes.
Then they sneaked out one by one,
and the hazing came to an end.—Chi

At a recent meeting of the elty coun
cil a resolution was passed authorizing
the water board to make a contract
with the Great Northern Tower com
pany to furnish electricity for operat
ing the pumping station. Under the
proposed contract the maximum price
for pumping 1,000,000 gallons is $0.50.
Last year it cost the city SB.OO per
1,000,000 gallons, without counting the
cost of depreciation in the plant.—

A Ray of Light From FngGnd.
Municipal Indebtedness resulting
from taking over public service utili
ties has become so burdensome In Eng
land that it is seriously suggested to
avoid payment of interest by redeem
ing the bonds with noninterest bear
ing municipal notes. While this plan
has not yet been approved by English
financiers and statesmen, it may af
ford a ray of hope to some of our
cities that are staggering under similar
burdens.
J. T. EDWARDS’ STORE AND
POST OFFICE BURNED.
Fire broke out in the store of Mr.
J. T. Edwards at Flovilla Monday
night, and completely consumed the
bnilding together with the stocs of
goods. The Post Office was also
burned. Mr. Edwards had about
$2000.00 insurance, while the losses
were about SSOOO 00. The Post Of
fice was uninsured. The Drug store of
Dr. Waites narrowly escaped burning
also.

To be a guest in the horde Is joyous
indeed. The queen and king of this
hospitable country villa have never
been blessed with child or children,
and it is uo uncommon event that the
guests, in large numbers, are enter

day the doors were thrown wide and
a merry party of forty five guests
were made happy in social intercourse
with song and music. At one o’clock
dinner was the order of the moment
and all ate with an appetite that on

Better Than Brains.
A poor, dyspeptic little minister was
walking out one Monday morning
when he chanced to meet two brother
clergymen, hale, hearty looking fel
lows. After the customary greetings
they asked hirn how things looked. He
pulled a long face and said everything
was had, It was it dying world, and
the outlook was wretched. “Now,
brother,” said his questioner, “you are
wrong yourself. Something is the mat
ter with your brain. You want to get
that right, like ours,” slapping his
comrade on the shoulder, “then the
world will look brighter to you.” The
dyspeptic looked at both his “brothers”
a minute and then said, “I’d rather
have the stomach of one of ye than the
brains of both of ye.”—Boston Herald.

__ PLEASE READ THIS. _
Having 1 advertised my inten
tion to leave Jackson I deem
it dust to the people to explain
and at same time to inform
the public generally that I
will be found at my same place
°t business ready and
to sell all kinds of goods in my
line of business cheaper than
any merchant in Jackson for
the cash or on time as my
customers may desire. Ido
not want chattel mortgages
because it costs my customers
to have the same recorded and
the price of recording is al
ways added to the price of the
goods. Open account is all
1 ask and I want you to feel
free J o call on me for your
Spring Goods.
My reason for making ar
rangements to accomodate you
for this year and not leaving
Jackson are these: My chil
dren are now in our Public
School here and while their
Educational advancement has
always been perfectly satisfac
tory to me, yet I find that I
cannot now enter them in an
other college without to a
great extent changing the
course of training they are now
receiving. Again I have made
many friends in Jackson and
Butts and surrounding Coun
ties whom I'appreciate highly
and whom I am now read} to
serve.

The Jew.
