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. INDIAN SPRING GAMP GROUND WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVED. Messrs. Hoi burn unci Lamar from Ashburti Ga. arc bolh erecting pretty cottages at Indian Spring Gamp Ground. The grounds will be greatly improved and b autified and the largest attendance is expected ibb. suinoicr that bus been at tbo Gamp Ground since the erection of the Tab ernacle. • 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.” - ' A 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 ican. JACKSON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, MAY 31th 1907. |P* fffffff Judge J. 11. Ham. Judge J. H. Ham Popular Ordinary of Butts County.

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 rel that is absolutely as “black as coal.” Along the White and Arkan sas rivers near where they empty into the Mississippi this squirrel La in abun-, dance. It is the wildest and the wis est of Its kind. ' - —i ■ ... , < Are we to mark this day with a white or a black stone?—Cervantes. ffffffffffff HON. O. H. B. BLOOD WORTH of Forsyth Ga. solicitor Gener al of the Flyrit River Circuit, Pres, of the County officers association. Col. Bloodworth is mentioned as a probable can didate for the Judgeship of Flynt River circuit. 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.— Los Angeles Tines. 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 with him below. VERY LOW RATES TO NORFOLK Va. and Return Account Jamestown Ter-OenfsiH?ii!

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. i j 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.
