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

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.

through the skin and the negro suc
ceeded in carrying the lead through a
gate that left his would-be eaptors. But

Henry and turned him oyer to the sher
iff of Jasper county.

some excellent oranges one day this
week. To live in the neighborhood of

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

It seems that congress is spending
half their time in doing nothing, and

Harry Hill has again been arrested
in Chicago, and the custemary release

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

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

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

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.

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.
