General Weaver wants to establish a school of’ political science. If it is ever established the general should enter as a primary scholar. Omaha World-Herald, The Argus most willingly joins the Constitution in its righteous war on Bosh Buck. If there is a man in all Harrison’s crowd that truly deserves remoyal in short or der it is Buck. Let him go and God send that he will never again hold an office in this great govern ment, A Washington correspondent gives figures in regard to the gid reserve ot the country that will be surprising to most people and gratifying to all patriots, showing that the wealth of the country as well as the population is rapinly drifting away from the East. With a secretary ot the treas ury from Kentucky and most of the gold in the west, Wall street is shown of much of its power. And in four more years we will have a Western president and a financial policy adap ted to the whole country. We sometimes think M•. Cleve land is a little slow in removing the offensive partision from office and putting in democrats but we can rest assure that he will make no mistake. Mr, Cleveland has already shown himself to be bigger than his party and in making changes and ap pointments he will show a degree of wisdom that is above the leading party politicions. We believe in the idea that “all things work together for good” etc. INTENSIONS. Good intentions,in themselves, will not atone for our blunders, nor make wrong right,or a lie the truth. When a government loses the confidence of its subjects it is weak. It doesn't matter how poor a law may be on the statutes, we should repeal the law, not evade it, A loy al cit zvn can not afford to evade the laws of his country 7 , It does not matter what the intention of a thing may be, unless it tends to bring about the result sought it is a perfect iaice. Results are the end of the law and gospel. Intentions not carried into effect are shadows, mere flits of the shadows of thought, ‘Hell is lull ot good intentions \ We are today witnessing a practiful de monslration of this misguided zeal. If your intention is as pure as the crystal streams and you see your plan does not produce harmony and good will toward men, stop and reconsider your plan and make it conform to the the intention. Rev. Sam Small doubtless intended to do good, when he attaoted the “German'” in Griffin, but did he do it? Can a man preach the gospel and then be compelled to take it back? No, the gospel cannot be re tracted. When a man has to retract he was not preaching the gospel. Is it possible, that every lecture from the .Bible is called gospel. Will the standard be lowered by sensa tionalists until the people lose cenfi dence in the preached gospel? God forbid. When a so-called expounder of the divine law becomes so indis creet as to place himself in a dile rna so inconsistent that a society man can riss up and brand him in the public press as a “liar and slanderer of the deepest dye M and hi u publicly read his confession, he must b; ve taken a wrong posi tion, and society in this case seems to be the victor or to have had a better representative. A man sh >uld tell the truth at all limes, and iftheje is a place where he should be more particular it is in the pulpit,and after having told it should stick to it “though the heavens fall.” A SAD DEATRU A deep leeling of sadness Spfead over our entire community c W ed nesdav morning at the announce ment that Mrs. E. G. Gilmo re was dead. The news was very unex pected as all thought she w is in a fair way to recover. Three weeks ago she gave birth to a child which died,and it was only by skillful handling that she was saved, but recently her condition grew favora ble and her neigbors and family had no fears of such a speedy death. Baton Tuesday night she expressed herself as feeling well and asked her husband to retire and sleep which he did about 1 o’clock and at 3 o’clock he arose and found his wife dead. She had died while asleep ot heart failure. IB r re mains were laid away in Jackson cemetery on yesterday after a fu neral by Rev. G. II Carter at the Baptist church. Call at 11. F.

You can go to the Millinery department of The New YorK Store and see the liKeness of many ladies of the town and country reflected in the Hats. Mrs. Thurman is designing for them. Truely there is high art. if you want a Hat to suit your pecular stile ol beauty give Mrs. Thurman your order. A man places a premium on his lie so long as he makes the practice of carryiug money in his person or at house. Deposit in Jackson Banking Cos. Cost you notning to do so and it is abso lutely safe and secure and can check it out at any time. Mrs. Thurman is a veritable artist in the milinary line, when you turn your order over to her somehow with her fe deft fingers she gives the hat a set that in varitably begets the likeness of the purchaser. There is an. eternal fitness of things. Verily she is a true dis igner and artest of no ordinary abilitary. For Victims to Household Cares So many women are willing vic tims on the altar of household duties, merging tlieir lives into a humdrum round which at its end leaves them in the dark, while those for whom they have sacri ficed so much forge far ahead. Neglect of household duties is not the price to pay for mental enlarge ment, but a judicious sifting of the necessary from the unnecessary items will save many an hour that can be put to greater advantage. Keep up your music, keep up your dress, invite people to the house and let them realize that instead of being the social nonentity that too many mothers become, you are a bright, companionable woman who is a delightful friend to both husband and children, as well as a loving wife and devoted mother. That Monstrosity, the Hoop. The magnitude of the hoop which flourished as the “ Farthingale,” under Queen Elizabeth, returned early" in the eighteenth century. The hoop is said to have made its first appearance on the French stage toward the end of Louis XIV. ActressesQwlio personated the heroines of tragedy had. from the time of Corneille, been greatly given to increase the amplitude of their skirts by artificial help They* eagerly adopted the fashion of the hoop from some English ladies who visited Paris after the peace of Utrecht. The well-abused monstrosity reached its greatest extravagance on the stage in both France and Erigland. The Fashionable Voice. The freak of fashion in London now is levelled at the voice. Formerly" one of the characteristics of a lady* was her voice; it was soft, low, well-modulated; poets and novelists bestowed this charm upon their heroines. But now the fashionable voice of the day- is high, shrill and strident; an exag gerated imitation of American intonation would best describe it, say-s The Queen. These voices come not from the outer ring of the circle, but from the charmed inner ring, the highest in rank be mg foremost in taking the lead in this respect. He Was in Great Danger. “Pm sorry- to say, my dear,” said the bank official to his wife, “that I must leave the country-.” “Is it possible?” she exclaimed. “I must,” he sighed; “my defal cation has been discovered and I have received a note from the de tectives saying they will be here in a day or two to grrest me.” STR A Y LOG 1L ITEMS Subscribe for The Argus and be happy.
