£iqqcl f * ftemg. TRAIN ARRIVALS: going south 12:05p. m. “ “ 6: 30 p. m. going south 9: 45 a, m. Col. W. A. Lofton, of Macon, was in Jackson this week on legal business. This week wai a good one for the ho tels, aa a number of drummers were in the citj. The next Friday night prayer meeting will be held at the residence of Mr. J. 11. Thurston. Quite a number of young people at tended a candy pulling at the home of Mr. D. E. Moore on Monday night, given in honor of Misses Mann and Hooten, of Henry county. Judge Carmichael had more “calls” from widows last Monday than any other man in thle country. There was a visiting minister in Jack son Monday, who bad taken too muob wine that was red, or some other color. He was the first drunken preacher that many of us ever saw. Judge 13. P. Bailey has a visitor at his house, whioh has been with him since Friday, and it is aB. P. Bailey, jr., and will board with the Judge for about 21 years. Tbs young people enjoyed a delightful entertainment at Mrs Finley’s hospitable residence, sc Covington street, last week. The many friende of Mr. C. P. Carmi chael will regret to learn that he will not dispense hie wit in social oircles in our town for a short while. He leaves for Louisville, Ky., shortly where he will take a oourse in pharmacy. Mayor Pound has returned from Jack ■onville. He never went down to see tke fight, but has felt considerably like trying a round or two with about 200 citizens of Jackson who persist in ask ing hiua “if he has gotten back?” There is not a vacant store room in Jackson, and but one vacant residence, and that will be occupied next week. What other town in Georgia oan show up suoh a line record? Rev. J. H. Eakes delivered a lecture to the Young Men's Christian association, in Atlanta, on Sunday evening last. The Constituion speaks very highly of Mr. Eakes aa a minister, and he deserves it, too. Steve Kinard made a business (??? ) trip to Seney, on Sunday last. Reese Thaxton went along to show him the way. They tried to get off without let ting any one know where they were go ing, but there ie enow on the pallDge when the Argus gets left. Miss May Finney, who has been visit ing the family of Mr. J. R. McCord for several weeks past, returned to her home in Jones county last Saturday. Wo venture the assertion that Jackson is the most moral city of any town of its size in Georgia. The council met on Monday night, and juggled, and juggled, and juggled. Thompson Bros., new Stanley Sliirtß. arofu do you want to buy a mule? Come Col. te corner I have a jug, too. wood at hie hen hae an engine eawlng at $250. The which he values the Colonel suffered T*s in fire that he would have given it tl* B * y** r * Q d moved it off of the land? an to have Brannon repaired the above eng'iu J- E cost of S7O, and it will save that muoli? chips the present year. Prof. C. P. Thompson, of Jenkinsburg, is suffering from rheumatism this week, and it unable to attend his school. Miss Elia Pound is acting as principal and be ing assisted by Misses Carmichael and Ollie Asberry. There are 125 students in attendance. Col. M. W. Beck, our able and efficient solicitor-general of Flint circuit, spent Saturday and Sunday with his family in Jackson. He left Standay night for Grif fin, where oourt Is in session this week. Col. Beck is one of the most diligent court officials in Georgia, and Jackson is proud of him. Moxie Oohen left Jackson on Saturday night last for Charleston, S. C., where he went to attend the marriage of his brother which took place in that city on Tuesday of this week. Moxie is now about the only single son there is left, and if somebody don't mind he’ll not he single long. Hawkiasville will attract his attention somewhatly this beautiful Sommer! Jim McKibben’s black and white spot ted bob-tailed boar shoat has strayed away from heme and ie supposed to be in the neighborhood of Battrill’s district. He has besn gone about a month, and Jim is afraid someone has gobbled him up. If you run his hogship any where yoa can relieve a great deal of anxiety by notifying Jim of his where abouts. Have you yet fixed up your home, your yard or your flower garden? If you have not, do so, and start the new year by improving the looks of yonr home and making it more attractive. It will pay you to do this. There come near being serious trouble at the Argus office on yesterday. We had anew baby credited to the wrong family, and if it had gone in aa it was written w# would probably now have been on our way to Oklahoma I Our junior is the “baby editor” for this pn psr and he sometimes gets rattied when writing on aueh subjects; so if he should happen to miss the family and charge an infant up to the wrong household, yon may rest assured that it ia an uninten tional error on his part. A man who lives in this county until democracy is dsad will be a very old man. If both of the political parties hold regular primaries in this oounty to nom inate their candidates, which is proba ble, we can all vote ourselves to death. All the school teachers in Butts county are taking the Ahous. So many of the good people are complimenting us on the Argus un til we can not personate. Thanks, ladies and gentlemen. Mrs. Carter of Concord, Ga., passed through Jackson on Tuesday. She went out to Elgin whsre her mother is lying upon a bed of sickness in a very critical condition. Macon, it seems, proposes to have a fair the latter part of this year. It has commenced to blow It already. 1“ lour at $3.15 per barrel as good as Sweet Water Valey, at W hitaker & Biles, Jenkinsburg. Call quick before it is sold out, and get a supply. Our Sheriffs Beauchamp and Crawford accompanied by Baliff J. E. Price, went on last Friday night and found, that in a house with but one door, but more than one exit, a man, Henry Maddox, from Jasper county. Our sheriff had in entered and left Mr. Price out side when suddenly the top of the chimney fell off on the roof and rolled to the ground with a negro in it, who fell running. Mr. Priee succeeded in putting one ball through the skin and the negro suc ceeded in carrying the lead through a gate that left his would-be eaptors. But on Sunday night the gentlemen eaptured Henry and turned him oyer to the sher iff of Jasper county. Car load of fine mules for sale at Watkins’ stables. Call, price and buy. I. J. Slaughter, alld That noble and kind hearted lady, Mrs McClain, treated the Argus force to some excellent oranges one day this week. To live in the neighborhood of such Christian people is one of the great est pleasures of our lives. The merchants of Jackson are doing an excellent trade for thle season of the year. Wagone are beginning to come in empty and depart with supplias suffi cient to run them for another year. Ae a rule, the farmers of Butts county are economical and energetic, and it doesn’t take much to last them through from one season to another. It has been raining in this vicinity for the past week, and if the sunshine does not oome forth yery soon, the Argus force will be mildewed. Mr. Henry Gunn of North Carolina has purchased the goods of Mr. W. M. Potts, and will conduct a grocery busi ness at the same stand. Jackson will have a soda watsr factory and bottling works the first week in next month. If you do not receive the Argus regu larly please drop ns a card, and we will endeavor to find out the trouble, con siderable complaint is being heard about the paper not being received by our sub scribers in the country, and we would ask the star route offices to please be more careful aa te the delivery of the Argus. A paper is entitled to the same consid eration ae a letter, and it is a source of greet anneyanoe for ue to be receiving oomplainta from subeoribers aimply be cause some postmasters are lax in their duty. The court-house ring has dissolved by mutual consent and no other operations will be oonsldered, in fact, there is no body to consider them. “Seney” B. Einard returnsd from Rome, eto., on Tuesday, where he had >'een for his health, eto. best q\PJ e ’ unadulterated wines, of the don, and a p mad * by Andr#w McClen on R. G.

Thornton can now sup ply you with as fine a mule as was ever seen in Jackson. Call at his stable and see them. It Mr. J. H. Mills, of Jenkinsburg, can swap herses with you, if you don’t be lieve it, ask Dr. Maya. Rev. E. M. Hoofcen, we learn, has msysd from Conyers to Hampton, Ga., and is erecting him a handsome residence in the latter oity. Guano is now being hauled out by the wagon loads, and the farmers of Butts are preparing for another large ootton orop, Missea Carrie Mane and Lizzie HooteD, of Henry county, are visiting the family of Mr. D. E. Moore, this week. It seems that congress is spending half their time in doing nothing, and the ether half in trying to get a quo rum to do it with. Wake up, gentle men, the farmers have all got a note book and “they’re watchiu’ you.” Harry Hill has again been arrested in Chicago, and the custemary release immediately follows. If we were as sure of going to Heaven as we think Harry Hill is of staying out of prison on the Atlanta charges, we would immediately begin preparation for the journey. The prosecutors ofHiilde not want him, we Know it, they know it, and the people know it, and what is the use of fhis foolishness ou the part of those claiming to be defrauded by him ? Turn Hill loose and give him a chromo! Just received a lot of the finest mules ever brought te Jackson. These mules are now at my sta bles, and it will be to your advan tage to call and ceo them before they are all sold. J. J. Thorn ten. it Queen Lil is an obstreperous coon, •he positively refuses to be downed. The very finest perfumes to be had at Dr. W. L. Carm’chael’a. John L. Sullivan got ©u a jag in Baltimore Monday and tore up things generally. John and his jag are in separable companions here of late. Go to L. R. Cason’s for Shoes, Hats, Gloves, Hosiery Oorsetts, and Millinery, in fact, everything you want. Our clubing offer with the Atlanta Constitution will be withdrawn in a few weeks. All who want the two papers for a little more than the price of one had better come forward and subscribe for them at once. The trial of Dra. J. B. and A. B. Hinkle for the murder of Dr. Wor sham, is in progress In Americas this week. The jury has been selected and probably a week will be coanumed in hearing the evidence. The Chattenooga Medicine Company have won a trade-mark lawsuit in the U. A. Circuit Court at Atlanta. An attempts was made te enjoin them from usingthe name “2hedford” and “M. A. Ihedford & C 0.,” on their liver medicine or Black- Draught. Judge Newman dismissed the suit and taxed the plaintiffs with the costs. Thedford’s Black-Draught has been in constant use for mere than fifty years and is one of the standard medicines of the country. 2housands ef dollars have been spent in advertising it, and it is known everywhere. The Chattenooga A/edicine Ce., have an immense laboratory in Chat tenooga, just at the foot of Lookout Moun tain. They have a branch house in St. Louis. This company also makes MC' ELREE’S WIN A? OF CaRDUI and have a reputation for integrity and fair dealing, second to none. Wo hate receive a copy of Twenty- Eighth report of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia school for the Deaf, at Cave Spring, Ga., and looking through its pages we find four white and three colored pupils are attending the school from this county. The whites are all registered with McKibben as their postoffice, and thej’ are Mollie A. Collins, Chae. M. Collins, William C. Morris, and TUos. A. Wooten ; the colored pupils are Charles Berry, Jackson, Ga.; Charles Crowder, In dian Spring, Ga , and Annie Rogers, Jacksou, Ga. As its name implies th sis strictly a school for the educa tion of deaf persons, and-is in no sense au asylum, as mauy are pleased to term it. The school comprises two departments, one for the whites and another for the colored pupils. The studies about the same as in our com mon schools, and the boys are also taught shoe making. All deaf per sons, who are over eight ar years of age, mentally and phisicallv in a condition to receive instruction properly, and free from any immoral conduct, or contagious disease, are entitled to all the benefits of the school free of charge, absolutely no fees being required for a term of seven years. The school iB sustained by the state, and all pupils are boarded, clothed and educated free of charge. There are now a total of 114 pupils in attendence. A STRONG PULL. The oonductor pulls the bell-cord, The engine pulls the train, The switchman he pulls ops’ the switch And shuts it not again; The cars are pulled from off ths track And smashed much like an egg; Then those who do their hurts survive All pull the company’s leg. DIED. Mrs. S. F. Smith, of Flovila, an old and r lady, who was the mother of a larg* am jiy 0 f o y|j r en # well known to Butts county, and whe was a true type q p ar<j an( j brave wo men of the old s,uth, died last Tuesday, and waa buried at Sandy Greek church, on Wednesday. extend our sympa thise to the numerous votive* and friends of the good lady. THE MONEY QUESTION. Soma men have solved the problem. Old Uncle Jack Rich has been living in Butte county and on the same farm for more than a quarter of a century, He is illiterate and has but one rule on finance which is “Get in more than you pay out.” He never makes more than three bales of cotton to the plow, and has doubled hie real estate in the last tea years. Rev. J. G. Kimbell always makes corn and peas, and such forage as he needs at home and thousands of cot ton, and he too gets in more than be pays out. He has more than doubled hie real estate within the past five years and cauld buy one fifth of his possessions every year it he was so inclined. Mr. H. G. Asberry, who is compar atively a young man, has more than doubled his real estate, besides putting several good houses on some of his farms, in the last eight year*. He makes all his farm supplies at home, raises fine cattle and largo hogs, mak ing great heaps of manure in hi* cow and horse lots, ia addition to the com mercial fartilizers he uses. He never makes over seven bales to the horse. All of the above gentlemen live on adjoining lands in Butts county, and are well known in our county as pub lic spirited citizens, who build up school houses and never have gny business in oenrts except aa jurors.
