EIGHTEEN NINETY- FOUR. This issue of tho Argus is the first of its 22rul volume and our hoary locks have withstood the gentle breezes of 21 Christmas mornings, we never saw a happier nor a quieter one than the one just past. We enter into the work with great er prospects and brighter hopes for 1894 than it has ever been our pleas ure to do before. 111 fact we challenge, the world to produce a man who ever saw a *94 until last Monday. Ws glad to say that this paper has many warm friends in this county who re gard it as much a part of the county as tke very soil we till. And many others thete be, among our best busi ness men, who cannot remember when the Argus was not. There have been some ohjectiens to the paper; of course, there are objec tions to anything, and sometimes it is really an honor to be opposed by gome folk, but we are try ing to remove all causes for complaint and make our paper the true exponent of the best element of citizenship and in which we cordially invite the co-operation of all the good neoplc irrespective of politics or creed Jackson can fall only by division and mismanagement, for a town as full of push and energy, surrounded by fertile fu Ids under the manage ment of thrifty, competent farmers, perfect railroad facilities, a strong bank, and the healthiest location on earth ean not but thrive it *vc remain unified. The policy of the Argus will be conservative in all things, for we do not consider those who differ with us necessarily mean or fools, because while we aie honest in our oonvic tions, we realize - the fact that what we don’t know put into the mind of one mau would make that man the smartest individual in the known world. Shakespeare says, “When a man loses money, he loses much; when he loses friends he loses more, and when he loses his energy, he loses all,” and we claim to possess these las* two ele ments in a moderate degree, and will prove it if our friends will remember us and the public at large view us and our efforts with a charitable eye. IT'S FUNNY. Every man wants every other man to stand by and foster home enterprises, provided always, said enterprise is his property or is being run by him. When his time comes to foster another enter prise it is quite another proposition and his inquiring mind immediately weude “Where am I to come in?” But, not withstanding the truth of the above statement, it is the duty of every mau to rise above himself in cases where the public good is involved aud make that necessary self denial required to bridge the town or enterprises over the danger line, aud every patriotic citizen will gladly concede to this. JUST FOR FUN. One of the candidates for governor should come square out as an adminis tration candidate so we could have an issue. It is a stale affair when both men are democrats aud both worthy and de serve the offiee and competent to fill it if they live long enough which is more than probable unless they they should run themselves to death. Do something gentlemen to make an issue everything is too dull and of a sameness, one of you favor bonds and the other oppose it, or one claim the other Is too young and the other too old,. Anything now for an issue. The special committee set apart to re port on the policy to be pursued by the democrats in the present Congress is a democratic committee in fact as well as name. They favor an individual income tax of 2 per cent on all incomes of over $4,000. That wont bother us yet for our income will hardly reach that this year. They also favor 10 cents per gallon addi tional on whiskey, and one-quarter of a cent a pound on sugar. They were speak ing of a 5 per cent tax on inheritance, but they saw that to be unnecessary as the above would raise funds sufficient eco nomically administered. Remember that our arrangements to club The Argus and Constitution for $1.25 is limited, and you should not miss this rare opportunity to get two papers for 60 small a price. You had better come in now and subscribe for the Argus. FEBRUARY SHERIFF SALE-*. GEORGIA—Butts County.
