COUNTY OFFICERS ASSOCIA
TION MEET IN CONVENTION
AT INDIAN SPRINGS.
The convention of tjie County offi
cer’s Association which meets at In
dian Spring June 19-20 is expected to
be the largest in the history of the as
sociation.
The association was organized in
at and at every
meeting the convention is more large
ly attended uutil at present the atten
dance is expect fd to reach oneThous
and or Twelve hundred. An effort
will be made at the next meeting to
make Indian Spring the permanent
place of meeting. Beiugcentrally sit
uated together with its wide popular
ity as a watering place it seems that
such an effort would meet wtih small
t
opposition.
it would certainly be a great treat
to the hard worked county officials
of Georgia, to meet and enjoy aa out
ing at the Indian Spring each sun
mer and with the magnificent hotel
accomodations available there it is
expected that Indian Springs will be
made their permanent place of Meet
ing.

• A Hero.
A boatful of ladies and officers go
ing to a picnic was swamped in cross
ing an East Indian river. A lady and
an officer clung to an oar. “It Ls not
enough for two,” said the man. “Say
goodby for me to the regiment.” Then
he left his hold of the oar and of life.
It is easy to see that a romance might
be founded on this, but these are the
plain facts.”

The Scope of Indigestion.
Indigestion is not on!y the most
prevalent of all diseases, but is the
most far reaching in its complications,
says Dr. Latson in Health Culture.
In recognition of this fact a brilliant
medical man has said:
“There is but one disease—indiges
tion." .
THE JACKSONIAN.
ANOTHER DISTRICT
HEARD FROM,
In the last issue of the Jacksonian
I notice an article by, “subscriber”
that is on the right line, and think
the argument on the right line, but'
it did not go far enough. It seems
that one Tom and Jerry has it in for
Mr. J. R. Carmichael. Now I have
known Mr. Carmichael from my boy
hood days and I have never known
him to be guilty of one discreditable
act. Mr. Carmichael has sold guano
and buggies in Jackson for a number
of years and his dealings have been
open and above board. He has al
ways treated his fellows just as he
would have them treat him. His
word is his bond, he is good for his
contracts wants what belongs to him
and wants every one to have the same
Mr. Carmiohael has a laudable am
bition to occupy a high and honora
ble place among his people and with
that ambition ever in view, he organ
ized The first National Rank of which
he was made president. This gives
iiim a prestige that can hardly be de
rived from any other source and still
retain so useful a position.
By what authority do you use the
names of Mr Knowles and Dr. Hum
phreys? Have you the court papers
to prove the Knowles affair? Have
you Dr. Humphrey’s uuthoraty for
dragging him, a minister of the gos
pel, into this affair? The Holy Book
says, if a man sle.ps your right cheek
turn your left to him. Dr. ifumph
r -ys being a minister of the gospel,
why should he not heed this admoni
tion? Dr. Humphreys being a min
ister of the gospel I don’t believe be
wouid authorize his name to be used
in a discussion of this kind. I sus
pect that you are trying to traduce
Mr. Carmichael s spotless character,
but until you quit talking so much
and tell something you will not suc
ceed.
The Four Great Periods.
Geologists have arranged the strata
of the earth in their order of time.
This geological record, as ft is call
ed, is divided into four great periods:
The kaihozoie epoch, in which we
live, corresponds to the age of birds
and mammals.
The inesozoie epoch corresponds to
the age of reptiles.
The paleozoic epoch corresponds to i
tlie age of fishes and lnveilebiate crea
tures.
The eozoie epoch, the age of un
known forms of life.— New' York Amer

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PIC
NIC WAS A JOLLY SUGGESS.
Three car loads of picnicers went
from Jackson to Atlanta last Tuesday
to picnic at Grants Park. After
lunching at the Zoo, and seeing the
animals the jolly crowd turned out at
Ponce de Leon. It was altogether an
enjoyable affair; but those who failed
to see Judge F. Z. Curry and Flem
Smith ride the tobrg'aD slide missed
the main part of the fun
Our Pygmy Ancestors.
The armor of the knights of the mid
dle ages is too small for their modern
descendants. Hamilton Smith records
that two Englishmen of average di
mensions found no suit large enough
to fit either of them In the great col
lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. The
head of the oriental saber will not ad
init the English hand nor the bracelet
of the Kaffir warrior the English arm.
The swords found in Roman tumuli
have handles Inconveniently small, and
the great mediaeval two handed sword
Is now' supposed to have been used
only for one or two blows at the first
onset and then exchanged for a small
er one. The statements made by Ho
mer, Aristotle and Vitruvius represent
six feet as a high standard for full
grown men, and the irrefutable evi
dence of the ancient doorways, bed
steads and tombs proves the average
size of the race certainly not to have
diminished in modern days.—London
Hospital.
Great Musician’s Eccentricities.
Dolls were the idols, after his be
loved instruments, of Domenico Dra
gonetti, the king of the double bass.
He had a huge collection of these pup
pets dressed in various national cos
tumes, and wherever Dragonetti went
the dolls were sure to go. That was
only one of this eccentric genius’ pecul
iarities. He w'ould never play unless
bis dog were in the orchestra, and no
body would have got a note out of
him unless he had been permitted to
sit in the orchestra next to the stage
door. This was a precaution to enable
him to save his wonderful instrument
in case of fire. The instrument itself
he brought from the monastery of St.
Pietro when on a visit to Vincenza, and
when he died he bequeathed It to St.
Mark's, Venice, to be used at solemn
services.—London Standard.
In the river bottoms of southeastern
Arkansas there is to be found a squir

est of Its kind.

How Piutes Catch Quail.
The Piutes have a unique way of
getting quail. For them there is no
closed season or, indeed, any game
law whatever. Seasons when the quail
come down from the mountains to the
spring the Indians make great prepa
ration for their capture. They build
a bough house with a long slender
opening In the front formed of tall
straight sticks set closely together.
Within the house an Indian sits con
cealed, holding a long Umber rod,
which he operates dexterously through
the narrow opening. In the early
morning when the birds llock down for
water be picks them off one at a time,
killing them instantly. There is no re
port •in tills manner of hunting to
frighten the others away, and the Indi
an often gets enough game in a single
morning for the whole settlement.—

Went to Bed For Dinner.
An amusing Incident is told of the
nbsentmindedness of the lute Justice
William G. Keogh of Ireland. It was
at a bar dinner at bis own house, and
he had excused himself from the
guests, who had already assembled, to
go up stairs to dress. Time went by,
but he did not reappear. The company
sat patiently for" some time till at
length, when their appetites were get
ting the better of their manners and
they were about to send a messenger
in quest of their absent host, he ap
peared and explained with many apolo
gies that imagining that he was retir
ing for the night he had undressed and
got Into bed. After an hour’s sleep he
awoke, aDd It suddenly dawned on him
that His guests werp waiting to dine

On® Question Too Much. A
The servant problem was under dIS-J
cussion, and “experiences” were beingi
related. Several women stopped talk-!
lug at the same moment, and the si
lence, which lind lasted nearly two sec
onds, was broken by a young matron,!
who said: “Hut, ladles, that’s all noth-!-
Ing to what happened to mo last week..
My cook left me, you know, for no,
enrthly reason except that she told the
chambermaid we starved the help. 1
The Idea! Well, T went to the lutelll-!
gence office and after u long search,
found the girl I wanted to take Mag-!
pie's place. She answered every ques
tion to my satisfaction until 1 asked
her, ‘Why did you leave your last
place?' Then she got red in the face,;
threw her head back and said In an
angry tone: ’Because I wanted &j
change. Why did your last coolc'
leave?’ And beforo I could answer she
turned away, saying, ‘You’ll not suit’!
Now, Isn’t that dreadful?” And then'
all the other women told "dreadful”;
stories—New York Tribune.

An Ancient Irish Custom.
In the district known as “the baronyj
of Forth,” In County Wexford, Ireland,.
Is to be found a race of hardworking,!
Industrious peasants living In thntcbed'
cottages with clean, whitewashed walla
which by their perfect whiteness at
once arrest the attention of the visitor.
These people differ In many respects
from the inhabitants of the other parts
of the same county and havo habits
and customs peculiar to themselves.
When n funeral takes place two wood-|
en crosses are provided. On the way.
to the cemetery n halt Is made at a 1
certain spot by the side of the road.;
Here prayers are said for the deceased, j
after which one cross Is deposited in a
fin wt horn bush or under It. The pro- 1
cession then goes on Its why, and after!
the intermeut the other cross Is llxed !
at the head of the grave. This strange!
custom dates from time Immemorial,!
