CLOSE OF VOLUME 20.
With thi issue The Aituus doses
its twentieth year. For that many
yars it has made its weekly visits to
hundreds of homes and firesides in
this and adjoining counties,
The paper was started as a local
newspaper and never has sought to
be anyth ng else. Its eyes has ever
been qpened to the best interests of
Butts county and where we have
differed with our fiiends it was
done with honest motives and pure
intentions.
The paper has taken but little
part in politics of the times but
where we have taken an interest it
was always squarely and unflinch-
tingly on the democratic lide* In
this we know we were right.
We have never habituated our
sallies in making flashy promises,
and will only say that with belter
facilities and more help The Argus
will be better next year than ever
before.
We thank the public for its gen
erous suppert and ask a continu
aence of the eaine.
A merry Christmas to all and a
htppy prosperous new year is our
sincere wish.
THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.
What can we say or do that wili
impress upon the n bids ol demo
crats he importance if active work
in the pending campaign. The party
should take an ui>utnai it.Wi tin
the lo- al political isstu s, and begin
work at once. There is no lime fox
delay, and it is the imperative duty
of every democrat to put hk shoul
der to the wheel and work for the
aucecss ol his party. Work is the
duty of their hour, and let u? urge
upon you tire necessity of imme
diate action
We do not intend to tmplova
war of words against the third
party, for in that pa ty, locally
•peaking, we have a number of warm
personal friends whom we do not
see fit to abuse and ridicule simply
beoanse they have erred in leaving
tha democratic ranks. Therefore,
we simply urge the demoreatic par
ty to stick together, for “in unity
there is strength.” Remember that

The Carmichael Co’s.
An honset Swede tells his stoiy
in plain unmistakable language for
tbe benefit of the public. “One ol
my children took a severe cold and
got the croup. I gave her a teas
poonful of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and in five minutes later
I gave her one more. By this time
she had to cough up the gath ring
in her throat. Then she went to
sleep and Mept gool for fi teen
minutes, Then she got up and
vomited ; then site went back to bed
and slept good for tho remainder
of the night. She got the croup the
sacond night and I gave the same
remedy with the same good results.
I writo this because I th= ught there
might he -some one in the same
need and not kr.ow the true merits
of this wonderful medicine.’’

Where the Women Propose.
In the Ukraine, Russia, the
woman does all the courting.
When she falls in love with a man
she goes to his house and informs
him of the state of her feelings. If
he reciprocates all is well, and the
formal marriage is duly arranged.
If, however, he is unwilling she
remains there, hoping to coax him
$o T = : .poor fePov*
cannot treat her with the feast ui. -
courtesy, nor has he the consola
tion of being able to turn her out.
as her friends in such a case would
feel bound to avenge the insult.
His remedy, therefore, it deter
mined not to marry her, is to leave
his home and stay away as long
as she is in it.
On the Isthmus of Darien either
sex can do the courting, with the
natural result that almost every
one gets married.
A similar practice to that in the
Ukraine exists among the Zuni
tribe of Indians. The woman
does all the courting and also con
trols the situation after marriage.
To hth* belong all the children and
descent, including inheritance,
which is also on her side.
The same custom prevails among
the Vigrees, a tribe in Cabul, and
the Nairs of Malabar. Among
the Garo - race of Abssam, in
Northeast India, it is not only the
privilege but even the duty of the
girl there to speak first.
It Looked That Way.
Wife—Do you think Tommy
iisturbs our neighbors with his
irum?
Husband —I am afraid so. They
nade him a present of a nice new
tnife to-day^.—Buffalo Quips.
