Last Sunday morning as we came fhlOUgh town we overtook Tom and Jerry going to church, Tom was fan uing himself vigorously, while Jerry Was whistling, "How Arm a founda tion.” ** W * Which reminds us of the little boy In his night dress who was on his knees saying his prayers, and his lit tle sister could not resist the tempta tion to tickle the soles of his feet. He gtoed it as long as he could, and then said: "Please God excuse me while I knock the stuffin’ out of Nellie.” The New Woman. Last Saturday morning Jackson was treated to the sight of a woman riding a-• a- * a-- straddle of a horse. Every occasionally some wo man who is lacking in those two car dinal virtues, that make men love and idolize them, modesty and self respect, flies in the face of convention alities, and causes herself to become the object of ridicule und obscene re marks. Most women are aware of the fact that the hubits and the lives of men are not sufficiently ellegant f>r each other to copy, much less for women to ape, who are the noblest and the crowning work that came from the hand of the divine architect. We thank God that 999% of our women have no nobler aim for tins life than to be honest, true, noble women, with women’s ways, and we can conceive of but one being in all the universe more noble more pure, and more capable of kind than the refining influence of woman wiien she is content to fill her natural position. Dueling In Old Creole "Days. When dueling was an actual factor In the social order of this country, It had many worthy and notuhle eii>o nents, Including no less distinguished personages than Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, De Witt Clinton, Stephen Decatur and others of the same type, but nowhere on this eoutineut was it so much an establish ed institution us in that peculiarly ro mantic old city of Now Orleans. It was woven into the very fabric of the life of the community, and many n crumbling tombstone In the ttuthpinted creole cemeteries bears grim and si lent witness to the fact, though to un derstand the situation more clearly one should breathe, so to speuk, the atmos phere of the period.—Louis J. Meader in Ceutury. A Fish Story. The latest fish story concerns the herring and sen gull, and It comes from Nanaimo. A boat load of herring, containing about fifteen tons, was left at Johnston's wharf, Nanaimo, during the noon hour while the fishermen went to dinner. During their absence several thousand sea gulla—the chron icler says 10,000 -ate all the fish on one side of Jhe boat with such good results that they emptied it, and when the last herring had been removed from that akie it was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, for the boat, with all the weight on the other side, npset, spilling all the remaining fish Into the water.—Shanghai Mercury. $1 ,000.00 Accident Insurance Policy •THE COTTON JOURNAL OF ATLANTA.

Not to Be Fdoled. A resident of a New England town who was noted for his great kindness to nuluials viewed the first horse ears with dismay. “It’s sheer cruelty, that’s what it Is,” he Insisted, and the plea of convenience or necessity had no In fluence upon him. “I’d walk to Boston and back before I’d add a pound’s weight to wbat those poor creatures have to drag,” he de clared, aud no persuasion could Induce him to ride in a street car dragged by overworked, tired horses. When elec tricity was applied and the cars went smoothly along without the horses, his son said: “Now, father, you cau ride on the street oars without worrying about horses. You can go Into Boston at your ease now.” “James,” wild the old man, “you al ways rush at conclusions. You don’t study into things as I do. Don’t I read in the papers about every car having to have so much horsepower? And don’t I know well enough what that means?" Aud the old gentleman sigh ed. "It simply means, my son, that the poor horses are being worked Just as hard aud just as many hours, only we don’t see ’em. “Those power houses could tell tales, I reckon. No, I’ve no more use for street cars now than I ever had, and for the same reason.” —Youth’s Com panion. Barbor’s Hair Cut. “Wished I had time to go out and get my hair cut,” remarked a barber as he removed part of the lather from the customer’s lips with his second finger. “Time to go out aud get It cut?” re peated the man in the chair, with the emphasis on “out.” “Are you like the man that won’t eat in his own restau rant? Aren’t you willing to trust oue of your own men to cut your hair?” “Oh, I’d trust them, all right!” said the barber. “It isn't that, but you hardly ever see a barber getting his hair cut lu his own place. The other barbers all like to go home promptly at quitting time, and If one of us gets work done during the day there is sure to be a rush about that time, aud it makes u customer ‘sore’ if he has to wait with two barbers right here and hot waiting ou him. He doesn't like to wait around while one barber cuts an other barber’s hair.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. His Impression. Mr. White —Tell me, Uncle Rufus, how did you feel when that savage catamount Jumped ou four back as you were coming through the woods In the dark and began to claw- and rend you? Uncle ltufus Rank—Uh,- well, sah, tell yo’ what’s a fact, thankee—l ’lowed •twuz mull wife! Yo’ see, I was uh gittin’ home dess a little bit antiquated funi de lodge o’ de Cullud Knights and Shivvyleers, and muh nach’l s’picion was dat de lady had got tired o’ waitin’ and come to meet me. If I’d organized dat ’twuz a catamount dat had me by de back, I reggln I’d uh be’n skeered plumb to death; but, i thtnkin’ to muhse’f dat ’twuz nobody 1 but muh wife, I dess breshed de var j mint aside, accawdln* to muh custom, and come üb-bogin’ along home, b&PDX 4a ** —i: A Correction. Last weak by a typographical error in Tom and Jerry’s article on the as sessment of Judge F, Z. Curry’s pro perty, it was made to read $7,000., when it ought to have read S7OO, Ed. HOT SHOT Tom and Jerry. f k j The refusal of the city officials to allow the publication of the real es tate assessment of Jackson is a con firmation of the charge that same is unequal. We know of one piece of property sold last year to-wit:tbe R. W. Mays block to Bailey Jones for $6,000, whereas the Empire Bug gy Cos. cost, I am informed by a reli able party. $15,000 and it is assessed atsG,ooo. By this you will Bee that Bailey and Jones are carrying two and one half part of the tax burden and the rich corporation carrying one part of the load. In other words, if the Empire Buggy Co’s, plant cost $15,000. which I say lam informed that it did. and Bailey & Jone’s pro perty cost $6,000, whicli I say it did, they pay on the dollar and the Empire Buggy Cos. pays 40 f on the dollar. The town is full of cases just like this and if wa could publish the list the people could see for themselves. I know of a case where the party offered his property for sale last year for 16,000 and he says he never slept for a week, fearing the man would accept his proposition. He is assess s3,7oo. He belongs to "the family.” I say the tax assessment in Jackson is so rotten that a buzzard turns up his nose at itßnd I dare the council to allow the same to be published. If they do the people will see what I see aod turn their noses up at it. The town government has grown so rotten that it will fall apart of its own weight. Keep your eyes on this prop osition. We say from the deep of our heart, “Praise God from whom all blessing! flow.” Praise Him for the untiring and ceaseless efforts of the noble women of Georgia who have, without, at times, much encouragement kept up the ffgbt against the liquor trafffe. At this moment the hope of Georgia 8 mothers aro centered in the liw-mak ers assembled in Atlanta. From ev ery indication both House and Senate are largely in the majority for a State prohibition law. The new Governor says he is not personally favorable to State prohibition, but fve feel sure that he will not hinder.* O, glory, glory, GLORY will it be when we can raise up a generation that never saw inside of a bar-room. If I was able to say and tell the truth, that I had never seen inside of liquor-shop, or tasted a drop of whiskey. I would give all that I pos sess—yes a thousand times what I posses, i I never had areal heart-ache but what it was attributable to whis ky drinking on my part or the part of the other fellow. It is now four years and saven months since I parted company with old John Barleycorn and I have got teu more genuine pleasure out of life in that time than all my oliier days, and I am forty years old. Again I say praise to the WOMEN of Ga. tor victory which we fee in the near future. About all that remains to be done is the shouting. To the men with few exceptions, ascribed no credit. Right here in our own town the president of the Anti-Sal-ton Lea gue approached a citizen to sign the petition to the Legislature to pass the Anti-jug bill, but he was told by the gentleman that he would not do it and gave bis reason as follows: "No I can’t sign it. You know that WE carried the bond election by shipping liquor into Jackson and we will need more money and will have to haTe more liquor shipped in here for the niggers in order to carry the election’ 1 After he left someone remarked: “J - you should hare signed it.” To this he said: "I might sign it for you, but not for a hypocrite like him.” That is the way the folke have these fellows sized up who live in that way. Talk about these fellows praying for other folk ! Why a screech owl won’t hear them, say nothing a bout God. Again, we say, praise be unto the tireless and faithful women of our land. To them we pull off our hats and acknowledge their claim of right to God’s very richest and choicest blessing. The women of Jackson share inthisgloiious victory and hour of rejoicing. Here we have a strong branch of the W. C. T. U. The offi cers are:. Mrs. Jno. Lyons, Pres, Mrs. C. R. Gresham, Ist Vice Pres. Miss Eva Sasnett 2nd Vice Pres. Mrs. J. F. Carmichael, 3rd Vice Pres.

The first cotton bloom was mailed us Thurs last week but was too late for mention. On Friday blooms were brought in by Messers J. W. Benson, B. F. Brown, and Joe Bledsoe. Felix Rogers, formerly of this place, now living in California is on a visit to his colored friends here and gives a glowing description of California. Says the first thing he heard of in connection with Jackson on arriving in Georgia was the Jacksonian. Bob Brooks, formerly with the Crawford & Cos meat market went to Atlanta Wednesday to begin work with the Atlanta Ice & Coal Company. He may return and embark in the ice, coal and meat business in Jackson on a large scale. Dr. J. Lee Byron, G. T. Fossett and Judge Curry have improved the looks of the side walk in front of their offices by laying cement stone pave ment. Yummacraw will yet be Jackson’s center of gravity. Keep your eye on Third street between Holly and Mul berry and watch her grow. Remember the Jacksonian is right in here. Hon. O. H. B. Bloodworth was in the city Monday. .

Not So Daft After ’Alt: Daft Tam, as he was called, wander ing through the village one day, got se verely bitten by the village Inn dog. Proceeding to the inn, he showed the mistress what her “dawg” had done. She was much alarmed and, putting a half crown into Tam's hand, said: “Awa tae the doctor noo an’ pay him wi’ the hauf crown.” Tam eyed the coin, saying: “I dinna think I’ll bother wi’ the doetor, but jist keep the siller.” “For my sake gang tae him, or else ye’ll gang daft.” “Hoots, wumman; ye’re bletherin. Daft folk caana gang daft twice.”— Dundee Advertiser. Pat Took the Prize. An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman were one day arguing as to which of the three countries possessed the fastest trains. . “Weil,” said the Englishman, “I’ve been in one of our trains, and the tele graph poles have been like a hedge.” ‘Tve seen the milestones appear Mke tombstones,” said the Scot “Be Jabers!” said Pat. “I was one day In a train In my counthry, and we passed a field of turnips and a field of carrots, also a field of cabbage and parsley, then a pond of water, and we were going that quick I thought it was broth!” Pepya on Shakespeare. Pepys* Diary, IGSO-1G69, commenting on Shakespeare’s plays, says of “Mid summer Night’s Dream,” “It is the most insipid, ridiculous play I ever saw In my life,” and upon reading “ ‘Othel lo, Moor of Venice,’ which I have hith erto esteemed a mighty good play, but having lately read the ‘Adventures^ of Five Hours,' it seems a mean thing.” . >• • - The Arabs use camel’s milk in place of that of the cow, and in the orient the sheep’s milk is extensively used as a substitute for cow's milk.
