THE JACKSON CARRIAGF
FACTORY.
Is it a benefit ? Or is it a dis
ad\antage to the town and the
community around ? Does it
bring trade to the merchants
of the town, and renters to its
real estate ownors? If the Jack
son Carriage Factory is ail
advantage and not a disadvan
tage to the town, being a home
industry, should it not receive
the patronage and encourage
ment of the citizens of the town,
provided it’s an institution of
merit? As to its merits, its pro
prietor asks a careful and com
plete inspection of all its depart
ments, and all the material used
in the different, departments, and
a strict comparison and test of
its products with the products of
any other similar institution.
And ifthey don’t stand the test of
comparison and prove meritori
ous then its proprietor don’t ex
pect nor insist on your patron
age or encouragement. But,
kind friend, if they do,
speak an encouraging word
tor its success, and use no harsh
words to injure an institution
that is a great factor in building
up your town, and as the town
builds so dc you, if you are en
terprising.
Why should the merchants of
the town patronize the Jackson
Carriage Factory and encourage
its success? For many reasons.
But two are sufficient: When a
g mtleman rides 25 miles to buy
a Jack on Buggy he is more
than likely to buy something of
the merchants, and probably
become a regular custoraei. The
animal pay-roll of the factory is
from $6,000.00 to $8,000.00, and
every wade-awake merchant is
supposed to get his share of this
pay-roll.
Why should real estate owners
encourage aid patronize the
Jackson Carriage Factory? Its
mechanics are men who get good
wages, and are able and willing
to meet their obligations and
are good renters.
Why should the milliners,
dressmakers, hotel-keepeis, liv
erymen, ministers, judges, law
yers and doctors patronize and
encourage the Jackson Carriage
Factory? Because it* s a home
enterprise of merit, and by aiding
to secure its success you may be
directly or indirectly aiding
yourself.
Why should everybody pat
ronize and encourage the Jack
son Carriage Factory? Because
they get nothing hut the best
variety of work, and it’s to their
interest to do so.
A few years ago when embark
ing in the carriage business, the
Proprietor of the Jackson Car
riage Factory determined to
build a buggy unexcelled in
quality, style and finish by any'
manufacturerAn this section; as
to how far he has succeeded in
this determination, he points
with pride to the phenomenal
popularity' of the Jackson Buggy
and would refer you to the many
strong endorsements which it re
cedes from those having it *in
use.
MATERIAL
USED IN THE JACKSON BUGGY.
WHEELS—Best selected secor.d
gmwth hickory, screws in rim to

JACKSON, GA OCTOBER 5, 1893.
A WAR STORY.
(by a butts county soldier.)
CHAPTER VII.
During the summer campaign,
notwithstanding we had lost our
leader, Stonewall Jackson, we had
several others under General Lee,
the commander-in-chief of all,
that were good ar.d brave men.
General Early was a brave man
and a good leader. During the
'summer he took Thomas’ brigade
one North Corolina brigade of in
fantry and one Virginia brigade of
cavalry anil left the main army in
the Fbennandoah valley and made
a raid.
In the extreme northwestern
part of 7 : rginia we crossed the
mountain and on into the Molield
valley, then on to Pittsburg There
we came in contact with the ei emy,
but we attacked them in the night,
and they were not expecting any
rebs that far away from home, it
was a complete surprise to them;
so they fell back to the main line
around Washington, leaving every
thing in the hands of Early and his
men. It was a rich haul. We
captured 105 wagons and teams,
650 beef cattle, 500 head o’l sheep
and meat, flour, coffee, sugar, etc.,
which was more than we could use.
We loaded all the wagons and
burned the rest, then made our
way back down the valley. It was
well that we did so, for the next
morning the yankees were after us
in full force. But we got back to
our command without the loss of
a man.
While on this trip going over the
mountain we stopped at some sul
phur springs for the night. J ist as
soon as we stopped I stepped off
and went to a house in the village
for the purpose of getting some
thing good to eat. The man of the
house was oft in the army, and the
good lady told me to come in and
she would cook me something to
eat. I knew it would not be long
until others would be there tor the
same purpose as myself, so I told
her that she had better close the
door and not let them in. She
■took my advice, and as she had a
fine looking daughter, just sweet
sixteen, I had a fine time. They
fixed me a good supper, and when
I went to leave they filled my hav
resack with fatty biscuits, fried
ham, maple Bugar and apple but
ler. That was a great treat to a
hungry soldier. The boys did come,
several of them ; and it was mean
in me, fori had told her to tell
them that she had a sick man in
the house and nothing to eat, so
they would have to go somewhere
else; but it all worked out very
well. The next day I invited the
captain to dine with me, and I told
him of the trick I had played on
the boys. When we were return
ing from the raid we camped at the
same place, and I tried to play the
same trick. I left as I did before
and got to the house first, and every
thing worked very well until a late
hour in the night. While the gool
lady was cooking, preparatory to
filling my sack again and I making
love to the young lady, the captain
came and knot ked at the door and
wanted something to eat. She told
him as she had told at least fifty
more, that there was a sick man in
the house and that she had nothing
to eat. He replied : “Yes, madam ;
if you don’t let ine come in I'll
burst this door down and I will
make that naan sick sure enough !*’
1 knew his voice and went to the
door and let him in. So we all had
a hearty laugh over it, and when
we left we had rations enough to
last three day s.
Afu-r returning to ihe command
the balance of the summer was
spent in mar hing from one point
to an< ther, crossing the Blue Ridge
from one side to the other and
watching the ?eneray‘s movements.
At last v e went into winter quar
ters at Orion Court House, and as
the commission officers had to buy
their rations and I did not like to
cook, I took mv dinner everyjjday at
a private boarding house in the vil
lage. us our cam ns were near by,
and let me say right here that Mrs
Williams -and >Mrs. Jackson, her
sibter, were two as noble-hearted
ladies as ever lived on this green
earth. I will speak of them again,
showing their kindness to mo when
n time of need; and it is iot
strange that such mothers as they
were should have such noble
hearted and lovely daughters as
were Miss May Williams and Miss
Lou Jackson. Not only were they
very beautiful, but, like their moth
ers, were always ready to lend a
helping hand in the time ot need,
such as none but true cliristian
hearted women can do.
We staid at this camp for some
time during the winter of ’63, and I
spent many pleasant hours with
those good ladies.
At last spring came and with it
preparations were being made for
another bloody summer campaign.
Vegetation was putting out and the
boys would gather wild onions,
lambs quarter and brier leaves, etc.,
for greens.
One day I was seated near my
tent when one of the boys from an
other company came by, and he
was one of those fellows who tried
to be very proper. He called to me.
and said : “Lieutenant, come over
and lake dinner with me today. I
am going to have Svegi tables' for
dinner.”
“What kind are you going fo
have, Henderson,*' I asked.
“I am going to haye a variety of
them," he replied.
But as I had promised Miss Lou
to lake dinner with her that day, 1
could not accept his invitation.
[Continued next week]
only sl25 —Gaze on this.
VVe call special attention to our
clubbing arrangement with the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti
tution, which enables us to offer both
papers for the remarkably low sum of
$1 40 a year. The first duty of every
good citizen is to patronize his home
paper. He wishes to become thor
oughly conversant with his county
matters, and only through his home
paper can he expect to be supplied
with the current county news, which
is ot the closest interest to him.
After he has provided himself with
his home paper his next consideration
of those who are not within easy
reach of a first-class daily newspaper
should be to select a first-class weekly
newspaper supplying all the general
news ot the world, and paving special
attention to features which are of par
ticular interest to the household and
the farm.
Just such a paper is The Weekly
Constitution, published at Atlanta,
Ga., and having a circulation of
156,000 copies a yveek, the largest of
any weekly newspaper published in
America. It is essentially a farmer’s
paper and stands at the head of the
weekly press of this country. Its
agricultural department alone is
worth the subscription price of the
paper, while it numbers among its
contributors such well known names
as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Joel
Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunkett, Bill
Arp, and a host of others, Yvhose rep
utations are world wide. Its Yvomen
auu childien’s departments are pre
pared with a special view to please the
little folks and the women, and its
news columns literally cover the face
of the earth.
We ate enabled to offer both papers
at practically the price of one, and we
will take great pleasure in forwarding
to The Constitution any names sent
us iu connection with our clubbing
oiler at the remarkably low price
above giv'en.

CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICIALS SICK.
The Postoftlee Force Is Badly Run Down.
Jekyl Island Has Been Invaded
by Yellow Fever—Official
Washington News.
Washington, Oct. 3.—Advices receiv
ed at the marine hospital bureau from
Surgeon Murray, at Brunswick, Ga.,
state that 12 new cases of yellow fever
are reported—lo white and two colored.
One case has been declared at St.
Simon's Island, due to violations of the
principles of “daylight” communication.
Others, he says, will probably occur.
Persons on St. Simon's Lslaiapme allow
ed to go to Brunswick during™ ie day to
transact business, but are not allowed
to remain in the city over night, as the
chances of catching the fever are greater
after dark.
The man who was taken with fever
violated this regulation.
Surgeon Murray also reports one death
from yellow fever at Jesup Saturday.
The diagnosis proved by all tests, and all
the physicians now agree that it was yel
low fever.
A dispatch received at the bureau
from Surgeon Geddings, at the detention
camp, states that the case of yellow
fever reported there Saturday has turned
out to be malarial fever.
Fever on Jekyl Island.
Brunswck, Oct. . —-Th ere are four
cases of yellow fever to date on Jekyl
island, all isolated and under control.
All communication with the clubhouse,
three miles distant, is cut off. Surgeon
Faget and Local Physician Hugh Brad
ford have control of the cases.
The germs were carried in a pile of
bedding recently moved from Bruns
wick to Jekyl. Surgeon Faget says that
after frost falls, all danger on Jekyl will
be over.
Miss Dart lias It.
The announcement is officially made
by Surgeon Murray that Miss Orilla
Dart, a Brunswick refugee on St. Si
mon’s island, has yellow fever. Her
brother, Eugene, also has a well de
veloped case that will soom be officially
reported. Miss Dart contracted her case
by coming to Brunswick and entering a
house_ that had been closed for several
weeks.
There are about 600 Brunswickiau re
fugees on St. Simon’s, and other sickness
prevails. A general outbreak may be
expected there.
No objections will be raised to Jesup
citizens going to a camp of detention.
Surgeon Murray advises them to stay at
home, but will open the camps to them
if desired,
Jesup has only about 1,000 population,
a large part of whom are railroaders—
necessarily a floating one.

A COLLECTOR’S LONG SEARCH.
How Stcvfns Finally Got the First English
Book Printed In America.
Henry Stevens, the celebrated
American book collector, who made
his home in London, was seven long
years in finding a perfect copy of
the ‘'Bay Psalm Book," the New
England metrical version of the
psaims printed at Cambridge in 1640.
The only copy in England was a per
fect one at the Bodleian library,
which was mentioned .in the cata
logue without distinction among the
other psalms in verse.
Mr. Stevens had often reverently
handled this book, but had never
spoken of it to the librarian, think
ing, as he said, that when he had se
cured a copy for himself “it would
be time enough to acquaint the
learned doctor that lie was enter
taining unawares this angel of the
new world.”
One day, however, on looking over
an auctioneer’s stock, ho came upon
the lost Benjamin, clean r.rnl unspot
ted. He instantly closed the parcel,
which had been described in the cat
alogue as “Psalms —1680 to 1675,”
and tightened the string just as the
man came to lay it on the table.
A cool determination nor veu him,
and.advancing to the table he began
the bids in a perfectly neutral tone
by sixpence. They went on by six
pences until half a crown had been
reached and the auctioneer had
loosened the string. He took up
every volume of which Mr. Stevens
was in search and turned to him to
say:
“This looks like a rare edition, Mr.
Stevens. Don’t you think so ?”
Thereupon he raised the Lid 5 shil
lings. Then a spirited competition
arose, until finally the lot was
knocked down to “Stevens” for 19
shillings. He called out “Delivered!”
with more energy than discretion
and tucked the little volume in his
pocket, leaving the other seven in
the package to take the usual course,
whereupon someone asked curi
ously:
“What rarity have you got now?”
“Oh, nothing,” was the reply, “but
the first English book printed in
America.”
There was a pause in the sale
while every one took a look at the
victor.
“There has evidently been a mis
take!” cried a jocular voice. “Put
up the lot again!”
“No,” said Mr. Stevens. “If tho
former owner did not recognize tho
prize he had won, as he has shown
by selling it for 3 shillings, certainly
the cataloguer might be excused for
throwing it away into the hands of
the right person, to rescue, appreci
ate and preserve. I am fully re
warded for my long and silent
hunt of seven years.”—Youth’s Com
panion.
Had a Lead Pipe Cincli.
“I say,” began the juvenile man,
“that was a lead pipe cinch which
Bob Graham had, wasn’t it?”
“What's that?” asked the leading
villain, who was smoking a ciga
rette.
“Why, he’s made a pot of money.”
“Who, Bob? Where is lie?” asked
the other excitedly, looking up and
down the street.
“Gone. He’s on the road with the
‘After the Ball’ company. You see
Boh was expecting something to hap
pen in his family, and he made a
hook on the event. When he count
ed up, he found he had $250 on the
hoy end of it and $175 on the girl.
Then he weakened and raised the
girl side to $250, too, so he wouldn’t
lose.”
“Well, how did he make any
thing? I don’t see”
“Make anything! You’re dead
slow. I tell you he’s a natural book
maker. Ten days ago he got a tele
gram from his wife.”
“What difference did that make?”
“They were twins.”—New York
Herald.
Corsets For English “Lady Paupers.”
One of the English newspapers re
cently got quite excited over the
management or, as it asserted, mis
management of the Mile End work
house. One of the leading items of
the list of charges was that the cor
sets which were supplied to the ‘ ‘lady
paupers” were bought for 2s. 6d. a
dozen or about 5 cents each. Inves
tigation, however, proved that the
lady paupers had not been subjected
to the indignity of weaving 5 cent
corsets as their only visible sup
port, for the managers c "A ivoly
proved that they had i .- <! a
luxurious article costive .over 35
cents. Upon this jourm . . .-.■wrath
