Carmichael, Solicitor Beck, and Mr. Lambkin all came in from the Gate City Tuesday. “A poor man that cant get rich would get poor if he was rich,” an old philosopher. We don’t know about that old man. We would like to try the other side of your proposi tion. Remember that our arrangements to club Ihe Argus and Constitution for $1.25 is limited, and you should not miss this rare opportunity to get two papers lor so small a pree. One of the colored gentlemen who came to Jackson to be examined for teachoi Y license on Saturday, brush ed his hands when he jumped from the buggy and said : “Is there a boot-black in town? comment is u:i necceasary.” Harp tfc Winant, Jackso s, Ga., will pay highest market price for Hides, Beeswax and Tallow.

Rcbt, Carmichael called on a young lady last Sunday uight, and so did Chas. l’inkney. Dandruff forms when the glands of the skin are weakened, and if neglect ed, baldness is sure to follow. Hall’s Haii Renewer is the best preventive. Some of the boys here, we learn, are getting very anxious for the young ladies who aro off visiting to come back. Go to Jackson Carriage Fac tory for horse-shoeing and want of all kinds. There was a mask party at the res idence of Mr. Thomas in tills county, on Monday uight of this week, aud a uumber from Jackson a’tended. The continual succession of boils, pimpies, aud eruj tiou from which many tutler, indicates an impure state t f the blood. The most effective retnedyis Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It ex pels the poison harmlessly through the natural channels, and leave the skin clean and clear. The merchants of Jackson are be ginning to realize the importance of advertising and in the meantime we are not saving much, but are sawing a great deal of wood. The Jackson Carriage Factory expects to do the largest business this year ol any year of its exist ence. To build more Jackson Buggies and build them better. It’s a poof man that can’t im prove. lie should quit business when he reaches perfection in his art. We are proud of oar past record, but expect to im prove in the future, so please let us have your support and en couragement in 1594 as in the past. Miss Annie Jackson, of Atlan'a, for merly with Kutz, is now at the New \ork store in charge of their millinery department. Miss Jackson as milli ner is widely known, she understands hor busiuess and can give you perfect satisfaction if you will give her a call. Howard Ham, Esq., can knock the spots efl’of a regular ordained preach er m tying marriage knets. In the last two months lie has joined at leat six couples, and the beauty ot it is, all those that he marries stick, i his is a great inducement for you to give Howard your oatronage when auv thing in his line is needed. Mr. Turner, the Alliance lecturer for this district, gave us a good speech of about two hours on Monday, immediately afterwards the populists held a meeting ot some kiud. Hon. Wilson Smith seemed to thiuk that we could get in rs a reporter, but the ARrs didu t get there, aud what | they did is as a sealed book so far as l‘‘these" news Monger were advised. Mis Mattie Paul left on Saturday last for a month's visit to friends and rela tives in Cochran, Ga. Mr. Bell of Xewton county is now as sociated with Mr, W. M. Pott# iu the grocery business at this place. G. E. Harmon will receive subscrip tions for the Constitution and Argus at the post office at Jenkinsburg. Mr. David J. Thaxton will leave Jack son about the loth inst, for Macon to ae cept a position on the Maoou Telegraph. If a certain young Butts county man only knew what a nice present he mis#ed on Christmas by falling out with his girl, he would forevermore be a ti'oubled in dividual. Prof. Blasingame has rnturnd to his home at Jackson. His presence here is sadly missed. P. S.—We trust that no young lady in this town will attempt to construe this as in any way personal.— Pike County Journal. “Advertising is just as essential to the business man as a scout is to a General in time of war.” New is the time to make your contracts tor the new year. The Aiigus is the best medium in Middle Georgia ; its pat rons attest the fact. The trial of Lewis Red wine, the Atlanta bank defaulter, was begun in Atlanta on Tuesday morning of this week, and now the papers will be full of topics connected with the trial for the next several days. This is a political year and every voter should keep posted in matters of politics, and to do so they should subscribe for the Argus. It will be in the midst of the fray, lighting for pure democracy and the best interest of the people. Don’t forget it, SI.OO a year. The East Tennessee agent at this place does more business than any other office of its size on the line between Chattan ooga and Brunswick, and, in the person of Mr. Stanfield, it has the most accom modating agent. Mr. John W. Moore,, one of Butts Bounty’s most promising young men, who is attending Emory college, was •lectad last week by the members of the Phi Gamma society of which ho is a member, as one of their champion de baters at commencement. He was elect ed, by the students of the college, as one of the editors ef the Zodiac published annually by the students. Mr. Moore is the best debater at Emory college. Jenkinsburg is one of.the “democrat icest” towns in Georgia. Oar corres pondent there is alive man and Jenkins burg i# a live town. The religious and moral stamina of the place is both high and commendable. Her merchants are of the progressive kind. Notice the double column advertisement of Whita ker & Biles in this issue. They mean to do some good work for the town and county. Give them a call. We learn that Bankston is erecting anew store which will add to the pretty little town. Jenkinsburg is up on the school question aud secures the very best teachers to be had. The Fayettville News, under the able management of Mr. James A. Joiner, is rapidly forging to the front as one Of the best weekly papers in Georgia. Mr. Joiner’s experience in the newspaper business has been attained by years of study, and today he has but few 7 peers in the noble profession he has chosen. Success to the News and its manager. Jackson needs a nioe hotel of the $20,- 000 cut. Now when we say this no re flection is meant to be cast upon the ho tels now in operation here. They are as good as any in Georgia of their size, but we need a muck larger one with modern accommodations, and we are satisfied that Jackson would share with Indian Spring her usual quota of visitors every suifimer. Everything has to have a be ginning, and this is a starter for that $20,000 hotel. Ws copy the following compliment of Butts’ representative from Hales’ Week ly, of Conyers, Ga.: Our neighboring counties of Butts and Clayton should feel proud of their rep resentatives who sat just across the main aisle from each other —T. J. Demp sey and “Bud” Kimsey. Two cleverer men never lived and their work for the people both in committee and the House was of the highest order. Two abler, cleaner representatives these counties have never had. Jackson Inetitute resumed operations last week, with most flattering pros pects. After the usual opening ceremo nies, the teachers settled down to busi ness and it was not lone before the pu pils were all hammering away on their books in earnest endeavors to demon strate the fact that “every boy has a chance to become president some day.” This expression carries us back to a few year ago, when we had a member of the board of education to make the remark to our class of the Boys High School at Atlanta, but some how or other our chance never materialized, and Grover Cleveland got it, but we guess it’s for the best after all, for if we had got in there, we might not have given as much satisfaction to the people as ths presi dent, but we could everlastingly wipe him up at “shooting snipes.” At any rate the pupils of Jackson In stitute have as good opportunities for some day becoming president as we had, but If they don’t make better use of it their chanoeS for seeing the “White House” are very, very, slim! with a cap ital S. JACKSON, GA., JANUARY 11, 1894. f pur |ome Jackson, Georgia, the Capital and Commercial Center of Butts County. A Few A'otesof Information toThose IVlio Have Sever Had the Pleas ure of a Visit to Onr Town, /V\ANY psople who have never yisit jf Jackson are desirous of know ing something of its size, charac ter, social and religious advantages, etc. To those we would make reply that it is ever a labor of lore and pride with the Jackson Argus to sing the praises of the beautiful and far-famed “Growing City,” its prosperity, culture and refinement, its proud past, its splen did present aud the wonderful promises of its future. The Argus only wishes that it might sing these praises in metric verse to thd accompaniment of the sweetest notest of the yEolian lyre. Proverbially the most beautilul city in the South, and by the. statistics proven to be the first iu point of healthfulness in the Uuipn, it derives the alliterative cognomen of the “Growing City,” from the fact that it has redoubled its popula tion several times in tlis last few years. Situated in the very heart of Georgia’s wonderful cotton, cereal and fruit pro ducing region, it is the acknowledged granary and commercial capital of this section of Georgia. The smoke of its enterprises, the spires of its churches, * and the cupolas of its college tell that it is the home of an. industrious people who honor God and love knowledge. Its retail dry goods and grocery es tablishments, warehouses, carriage fac tory, ginneries, oil mills and gua .o fac tories show it to be the recognized commercial mart and distributing point for a vast area of country, and the marvelous growth of the last de cade is but a demonstration, of what the future must bring with its present railroad and superior transportation facilities properly utilized. In the very heart of this lovely city the Jackson Institute proudly rears its stately head and admiringly views the prosperity of it# beauteous, bustling environment, conscious that the com mercial arteries of the city are being daily quickened by its graduates, who, like so many Miaervas from the head of Jupiter, issue from its walls full, pano plied for the contests of the commercial arena. Located at the point of convergence of two of the principal streets of our city, the college is quickly and easily acces sible from every point. Towering high above its neighbors, its lofty spire is gilded by the first jeweled rays of the morning sunlight, and its students are refreshed by the last cooling breezes of the evening shades. True to its twin mottoes: “Knowledge is Power,” and “There is no Excellence Without Labor,” its several departments repre sent so many hives ®f human industry, whose products are the skilled hands and carefully trained minds of its grad uates. Reflecting upon the achievements of the past, the Jackson Institute has the proud consciousness that its fame is secure and acknowledges no other ri yal but itself. The city of Jackson is situated only four miles from the elevated Indian Spring, whose waters have gained a world-wiae reputatin for their medicinal qualities, and which place is annually crowded with visitors availing them selves of the curative powers of one of the most marvelous and natural erup tions ever emanating from the bowels of the earth. Only a twenty minutes’ ride, over a smooth driveway is required to reach this far-famed summer resort from our city, and the superior accom modations offered those who stop in our city are of such a nature as to prove both beneficial and lucrative. Situated as it is, midway between Atlanta and Macon, Jackson is easily accessible to either, aud her railroadaccommodations are such that no inconvenience is suf fered by those who at any time desjre visiting these places. The feoil and climate is especially adapted to the growth of almost every vegetation known to naturalists, and a short crop of any article is an unheard of item of news to our oldest inhabi- tants. Jackson derived its name from the .illustrious Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, and bears the proud distinction of being one of the most hospitable cities in the South. .The ABGrs will be ouly too glad to answer any and all communi cations of those desiring any information upon all subject connected with our town and county.

Miss Gresham is a lovable woman of many accomplishments and will make a most helpful companion to the gentleman she has chosen as a partner in life. Our congratulations to tho couple are ex ten ted. A LITTLE TAFFY. The Middlt Georgia Argus, printed at Jackson, came to us last week muoh im plored and now bears the name of the Jackson Argus with the well known Journalists, John G. McDonald and N. J. Harmon at its helm. Under the man agement of Mr. D. J. Thfaxtonthe Argus flourished and did great things for the upbuilding of that now thriving little city, and we are sure with its present management it will continue in this same work. The writer has spent many happy hours in the Argus oflice and has had the cover kicked off our already cold feet many nights during the winter of 1880-90 by Johnnie Mo, nevertheless, he is a good bed-follow and knows no such thing as fail at the newspaper busiuese. —Fayetteyille News. Our neighbor, the Jackson Argus, same out in one of the neatest and brightest Christmas editions that reach ed this office. Congratulations to the new management.—Henry County Week ly. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 4, 1894. Messrs. Harmon & McDonald, Jack son, Ga. Gentlemen: You may con tinue to mail tpe the Argus. A great improvement has been made fn the pa per's “getup,’’ and, like the citizeus of Butte, generally, I find it a household necessity. Very truly, etc., Rout. E. Lee. 32 Windsor street. $l7O A TON. If some of our farmers should ask a dealer the price of his guano and should be told that he could get a ton for one hundred and seventy dollars, or eight dollars and fifty cents a hundred pounds, he would doubtless stand dumbfounded, and yet that would be tlic cheapest guano lie ever bought if it were pure. The commercial value of 500 pounds of avail able phosphoric acid is S2O. of 500 pounds pure potash S2O. and of 1000 pounds of ammonia, making the ton, $130., the ag gregate of whioli is $l7O. Guano should not be allowed to bo put on the market that does not have a commercial value of SIOO per ton, for if the worthless stuff that is being hauled, wearing out wag ons and mules and consuming time for distributing, was known to be very little better than our soil at home, we would buy better guauo. The farmers still clamor for cheap guano and the dealers make it cheaper until it would now be impossible to sell a manure equal to the standard of the old Peruvian. Rather than buy good goods we will pay freight and haul a thousand tons of dirt and rocks every year. Somebody quit this foolishness and call for high priced fer tilizers, and run the standard up higher and get better pay for your money. THE DOLLAR WE WANT. What we want, is a dollar easy to get and hard to let go; a dollar that will pay $4 worth of detbs and then come back by means of a string attatchment. a dollar that snuggles easy in the socks of John Smith, but withers like the manner ot old in the safe of a railroad president; a dol lar that will buy some flour and meat while it buys much whiskey and tobacco; a dollar above drawing interest, and yet will double itself while the owner sits in the shade and spits at a crack in the pave* ment; a dollar that will circulato without appreciation; will buy shoes for baby while it buys fun for man in places where he con not take his wife; a dollar that will surely repair the waste of sloth, appetite aud bad judgement; a dollar that cemes to to the lap of indolence like worms to the craw of a fatherless robin, a dollar that will remove the sentence pronounced upon Adam, reverse the order of nature, and transform the nature of men. This, ac cording to our esteemed contemporaries, is the kind of a dollar we want. A SERIOUS QUESTION. The State school commissioner has sent out circular No. 13 to the county School commissioners giv ing his construction upon the re cent legislation and the school laws of the state. Mr. Bradwell says the leading point seems to be the quar terly payment of teachers, and thinks it absolutely necessary to adopt the salary plan. Now these two propositions taken together are a bugaboo, because the state gives the money, mot to teachers, but to the children. Now, should Ahold a first grade certificate and B a sec ond grade, we will all concede that A is due some consideration on ac count of his superior qualifications, and should havo a better salary. But if B has a school where thirty pup Is are in attendance, and A has only twenty in his school, we can easily sue thu injustice to the chil dren in B's school, for whose benefit the state has appropriated the mon ey. It seems that the county school authorities will have a hard road to travel to reconcile these matters and give the necessary encouragement to teachers of the higher grades and do no injustice to the children. In our county the board of education have left the matter in the hands of Hon. E. E. Pound, who we think is equal to the emergency and will take both qualification of teachers and the number of children in at tendance in fixing the salary of the teachers, OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNT T.
