to say for Mr A. H. Sutton a

INDIAN SPRING.
The hotels at this favorite resort are
now ready for the summer’s crowd of
visitors and Messrs. Greer & Bro. will
furnish comfortable transportation from
Forsyth there and return at a reasona
ble price. Railroads have made access
to other springs easier and some of the
people who formerly frequented the
Indian Spring go farther north, but we
have never known the same enjoyment
at anyplace as could bo had at onr home
resort when the hotels were full The
people who spent the summer there
were liberal, generous and full of mirth
and fun. They would go for a complete
relaxation from business. The ball
room of the Mclntosh has witnessed
some of the rarest enjoyment that
mortals ever experienced. * We would
rejoice to see the hotels full during the
coining summer and a revival of the
good old days of yore.
TO HIM WHO
BY JOEL BENTON.
take a wife too young,
\\ hen a wife you choose to take;
he will wield a thoughtless tongue,
And a world of trouble make.
at Lis unthought of will betide;
xou will lose the peace of life,
Aud suffer from her haughty pride.
Do not take a wife too low—
Fax beneath your own estate —
For the friends you used to know
Will not enter through your gate.
Neither seek a wife too rich,
Unless your fortitude is rare,
For she will not delve or stich,
But she will the sceptre bear!
Bright and modest, neat and kind,
Let the wife you look for be—
If this you chance to find,
All the world may envy thee.
But should you get a scolding wife,
AH your sweetest joys would pall;
lou would grieve, amidst the strife.
That you took a wife at all.
A horrible crime was perpetrated
near Talladega, Ala.,, on the 10th
instant.— Dr. Wm. Toole,.with his
little seven-year-bid daughter, ac-i
com pan led a picnic party out to the;
falls of the river.' • 1 The child was
handsomely / dressed, and wore a
number pfgold ornaments and a
diamond pin. In the afternoon
she was missed, and her father
went in search of her. On approach
ing the falls he saw a negro man
carrying something with
garments, and rushing on him
lie saw it the dead body of his
c !l. ' ne g ro had decoyed her
oft, choked her to death, stripped
her of her jewelry and was about
to throw the body over the falls,
i r tlie negro and' calk
ed for help, which soon caine. The
nend was Overpowered and tied-,
and a rope being improvised, he
was strung up to the limb of n tree!
punishment was milder than
he deserved. .
The Marietta Journal has the
following: ;
A Romantic Marriage.—Early:
Wednesday morning there appear
ed in the streets c. rustic couple
desiring, to bo _ united in double
blessedi\ess. The mother of the
girl Accompanied them, and seem
ed to be • engineering the affair.;
xhe young man was shoeless, hat-'
less and moneyless. A large black
patch adorned the knee of his bri
dal pants. He was otherwise plain- 1
Jy-. dressed, likewise his intended
bride. • his. age- was only’
11) year .but his .size, and physiog-;
no my indicated that * he had not
se<in over sixteen summers. The
girl looked to be abput- twenty--
three years old, and seemed earger
tor the nuptials. Her! mother
bought the license, and several
citizens consolidated their nickels
and- bought the young man a pair
of shoes. Ft seems the girl had
stolen the young man from Mr.
Asa Darby’s house at night and
eloped with the boy, and the boy
deemed it his boundep duty to
succumb.. After -seVeral ■ unsuc
cessful attempts to get someone
to perform the marriage ceremony,
they finally persuaded Rev. J. H.
Harris to tie the knot, which was
witnessed by quite a.crowd at the
clerk’s'ofllce of the court-house, and
then and there L T riah Evans and
Sarah E. Cantrell were made hus
band and wife.
The Covington Star says the fol-.
lowing bill will be introduced in
the Legislature at its July session :
An act, to amend the ‘twenty-six
th section of the judiciary'act, pass
ed 16th day of December. 1799, and
re-enheted by the act of TSIO, and
included in section 3580 of the code
of Georgia of 1873. ’ Whereas, it is
painfully evident io the people of
Georgia "that the system of farming
as practiced since the war has not
resulted in much good, but on the
contrary has wrought great injury
to the people; and whereas, the
habits formed seem t© be of a na
ture hard to change; and believing
that a continuation of the present
system will only lead to bank
ruptsy and ruin; "and whereas, on
acotmt of this system, many of our
best citizens have become discour
aged, and have left the State and
sought homes in the West, which
leads to the belief that many more
will follow; and desiring to offer
some relief to the people, which
would alike prove a benefit to the
State of Georgia.
Be it therefore enacted by
the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia, That from and
after the passage of this aGt, all
creal crops produced in this State,
and all provisions of any kind
whatever, together with all live
stock, shall be exempt from levy
and sale during the period of the
next three years, begining with the
gathered fall crops of 1881, and in
cluding the crops of 1884.
Be it further exacted, etc.,
That the object of this bill is not to
impair the obligation of any con
tract heretofore made; but to stay
executions on all farm uroducts,
except lint cotton; and after the
lapse of the time herein specified,
this act is to become null and void;
and all executions to be of full force
and effect.
Be IT I-TIITHEJt„ **£ F-T<-
That aIT Taws and all parts of laws
militating against this act.'be and
the same are hereby repealed.
THE RAILROAD EXTENSION.
THE CITIZENS OF BUTTS AND
HENRY COUNTIES SHOULD
TAKE ACTION AT ONCE.
“strike while the iron is hot.”
A CALL FOR A MEETING OF THE CITIZENS.
The long talked of extension is
now a fixed fact, and the work will
be pushed forward at an early day,
and now is the time for our peo
ple to work if they would secure the
the benefits of this great thorough
fare that is .to open up another
outlet to the sear
The purchase of the road by the
syndicate represented by Col. E.
W. Cole, makes the completion a
certainty, and he pledges himself to
have the cars running through by
next January. *
He immediately telegraph to
have the contract for the addb
tional eighty miles advertised
and change the time of biding
from 40 to 30 days, and a$
Col. C. says, “The great lipe from
St. Louis to the sea has been a
dream of my life,”;he will certainly
make use of the great oportu
nity he has grasped-in this purchase
“I am satisfied,” he .said, “that there
is a great undeveloped empire in all
this section,” running his finger over
Tenneessee, Uabama and Georgia,.
“That there are numerous currents o&f
trade now moving sluggishly through
these states that need but a small quick
ening influence to start them into the
great rivers, deep and broad, that will
flow ljesistlessly and enrich everything
along their banks.”
Now if we desire tc be enrichened by
those streams, we act, work !
work !! to-day should, be our motto, if
we sit with folded hands and allow our
opportunities to pgss and our nature!
advantages overlooked and the fruits of
industry taken from us by others we
will have no.body to blame.
Col Cole said:
But now I know precisely where |
stand and I will show you some rapid
work.”
He then turned to his friends and
said:
“I have authorized the statement that,
our cars would be running from Atlanta
to Macon by January next, and to Rome
by March.”
The statement was endorsed by all
present with the, addition that the con
struction contract would be closed on
Monday, and that .all .the , money that
could possible he employed in hurry
ing the work forward would be' forth
coming, j
Now what should we do? This coron
pany does not want any firtaifcial aid
of course, as they have refused an dm*
mense amount of money offered as stock
since the syndicate was formed, -\vhak
we should do is for the citizens of ouf
county to meet and ask of this great
company who is coining to develope the!
resources of our state, to try this por
tion of'our territory, before making a
permanent location, of the road.
We should ask them to at least give
us a preliminary survey, and be con-!
vinced that at least ten miles distance!
can be saved by running in a direct
line from Macon to Atlanta on the west
side of the Ocmulgee River and save ihe
expence of twice bridging the river, it
is but seventyseven miles from Macon,
to Atlanta by an air line' through Me*'
Donah, and allowing six or eight miles
for curves &c. will reach Atlanta in
side of 85 miles, being ten miles less
than bv anv other route.
We should at once pledge to the com
pany the right of way,’and all favors
that we could bestow, that would be of
benefit to them. They should at least
be jnvited to visit us either
in person or by representative and be
come our guest until they could exam
ine our country and the grounds that
the direct line would pass over, and;
see for themselves whether or not it
would be to their interest to run direct
to Atlanta instead of bridging the Oc
mulgee river in order to get ‘.the privi
lege of running ten miles further to
reach the same point.
The question with us is do we want
the road! Would we be benefited by it ?
If so, then let us go to work, as Col. Cole
says, “any man can accomplish much
who tries to accomodate commercial
currents.”
Then let us go to work to do some
thing, the time has come for croakers to
get the rear, and let workers get to
the front, down with the sneer that
the extension “\yill npver be built’'
there isn’t the least shadow of a doubt
but what it will be built, and we should
go to work to secure as much of the ben
efits as any one else, we are entitled tc
it, we have the natural advantages, and
should endeavor to make use of them, ai
the connection with the Georgia load
lias been abandoned, and rails purchas
ed for a through line, wliv not use our
exertion to get it through our county, I
direct. For this purpose a meeting of
the citizens of the county is suggested
to beheld at the Court House in Jack
son, on the. first Tuesday, Sale
day of next month, now is the op
portune time, will the public grasp it,
or sit idly by and allow others to reap
the rewards that are in store for those:
who work for ii?

LETTER FROMTAFFEY.
IN REPLY TO T. G. H. M.
Ocmulgee, May 211881.—Editor
Argus : in your last issue appear
ed a communication over the
signature of T. G. H. M. in which
he makes complaint of my “dots
from this place,” in a former issue
of your .paper, and says that in
giving those dots, I attempt “to
hold up some of our young peo
ple to ridicule.”
Now Mr. Editor, I beg leave to
inform T. G. H. M. that I did not
wish to ridicule any one, and the
young people alluded to in my
dots from this place are warmfriends
of mine, and a little fun was all i
that was intended ana my young
Mends all enjoy tbe hints at them
and take it all in good humor, ex
cept your Correspondent who has
seen fit to assail me through your
columns, why he should take such
an offence at my dots, 1 can’t un
derstand unless the “cap fits,” I
think T. G. H. M. must be the fel
low that rolled under the bed, and
came out with his his head shunn
ed all over.
Now Mr. Editor please., alllow
me to inform him that, the girl
with “fine things” alluded to, and
“Aunt Maimie” &c, are my warm-
est friends, and enjoy “little jokes,”
a3 well as I do, and if them or any
of their friends think that I car
ried it too far I beg their pardon.
L was done in the best of humor,
and I am willing to apologize to
each and every one of them (if any
ipology is deserving) except, that
‘bald headed” scamp that “rolled
mder the bed,” as he has seen fit
to give me such a “threshing”
through the Argus, I will make no
ipology to him, although I sympa
.hize with him, we all sympathize
vith him, for we know the reason
fie don’t laugh, its because he can’t
laugh a wink, he has a savage look
ing “bile” on his upper lip, and
his unfortunate mouth totally
eclipsed. This was caused by his
kissing a hair-lipped girl, just for
curiosity, a few a days ago anc
one of the hairs stuck in his lip,
hence this disastrous affliction, he
takes his meals under exasperating
difficulties, which no boay but a
saint could stand without cursing,
and he thinks it very unkind in
the young people to keep smiling
| at him about “Taffies nonsence.”
•WolFd'dVmV ki\ow Of hny t luLg'. I
can do Tor T. G. H. M. that will cure
infir,motion from hare-lip kissing
but 5 1 can give him a resipe that|
will restore that hair that he*
knocked out while putting on “airs.
If he will get some of Spauldings
glue, and make ft piaster that will
reach from the small patch of hair
lie lias just above his ear, across
his “naked craunium” to the little
patch on the other side, and lot it
remain* their until it “peats off ’’ it
will leave a ,nipf. sleek glossy coat
of hair that will bo pleasant to
behold.
And then when all the young la
dies and gentlemen, begin to extoll
its beauties, T. G. H. M. will be
glad that people will talk.

“Gipsy .Secret” is not merely to inn
prove thc l general condition of stock, re
storing the functions of kidneys, stom
ach, etc., to healthy action, which it
invariably does, but in acute attacks of
disease, as Grubbs; Colic, Gravely &e.y
it is unsurpassed. .
W. G. ICinbo, of Newnan, says:
‘'‘My horse was rmlf- tly ' -dtacked
with Grubbs, and I felt' sure I would
lose him, but a half bottle of ‘Gipsy Se
cret’completely cured him in a few
hours.”* ’Wholesale and Retail by Wm.
Reeves & Cos.! GiMfiftii, (hi.
I had beep humbugged so often
I was loalh to try “Gipsy Secret,”*
but I’have been most agreeably
disappointed. ’
“G. S.” cured my herse of severe;
colic, and I am more than pleasedl
with it. W. G..Croder. i
I have never, in my life, sold any
medicine, for any purpose, which"
has given more universally com
plete satisfaction than has ‘Gipsy,
Secret/ and I have been in the drug
business more than 20 years.
GEO. B. Broadfoot.
Rey. W.-G. Felts writes :
“I certify that ‘Gipsy Secret' is
all that is claimed for it. I have
uspu it on my horse, and its affects
have far surpassed my sanquine
hopes. Stock holders that know,
the merits of “G. S.” cannot af
ford to do without it. A trial will
convince the most incredulous.’
Messrs. Reeves & Cos., I take
pleasure in recommending “G. S.
as the best medicine known fori
stock. It acts like a charm, and
its effects are readily- seen. It
does all that is claimed for it.
Farmers will he convinced, by try
ing at, that it is just the thing their
stock needs. Yours truly,
W. P. Hemphill.
