Remember dial our arrangemeifts to club The Argus and Constitution for $1.25 is limited, and you should not miss this rare opportunity to get two papers for so small a price. Prof. C. R. Thompson, the worthy president of the Floyilla Institute, was circulating among his friends in north Butts Sunday. A. G Hitchins carries the largest stock in his line in this section and his big cash and credit sales are telling. So much for square dealings and low prices. The recent ordinances adopted by the council has created more discussion than anytlriag Jackson has had fora long time. One side says it’s all right, and the other side says it ’taint. Now, which ia it? Mr. D. J. Thaxton, who is now on the road representing tho Macon Telegraph, was in Jackson on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Mr. Thaxton reports great success in his undertaking, and says the Telegraph is the paper. A man whose heart doesn’t feel kindly on hearing the name of his mother is an ingrate of the deepest dye, and next to such a fiend, iu point of hopeless deprav ity, comes the uupardonable wretch who has no respect for his wife. We know a pretty girl who says she Is going to live in a double log eabin on her father-in-law’s farm when she mar ries, and stand in the door and watch her mother-in-law oome and bring her Moore potatoes. Frank McKibben’s wife has gone off on a pleasure trip, and he is now wear ing two suits of clothes to hide the but tons which are off on the inside one. A wife is a good thing to have around the bouse and a poor fellow never realizes their usefulness until they are gone away from home. If, when crossing a railroad track, you st-e a train approaching at the rate of thirty miles an hour—get out of the way as soon as possible. When threatened with chronic rheumatism or catarrh, take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla persistently and patiently, and the danger will soon pass away. The streets in town were crowded with men. women, and children, both white and black, and a fine business was done by all the men bants Saturday. Indeed, ail last week the busineess men of the place were kept quite busy attending to the wants of their many customers. Messrs. W. H. Hess. Wils Reasoner, and Edgar Hughes, of Lanark, 111., also Mr. Fraser, of Ohio, visited Messrs Clifford and Lattigg of our city on Saturday and Sunday of last week. These gentlemen were in Jackson on a prospecting tour, and it is more than probable, that Mr. Hughes will locate in Jackson, as be expressed himself very much pleased with eur city. They left on Monday morning for Atlanta, and from there will return home. Mr. R. C. Sanford, of Savannah, is vis iting in Jackson as the guest of Clifford Carmichael. Cohen is going to leave Jack son. He is selling out at cost. Ye wine swillers will now have to let up on your “dram'’ or pay a little more for the medicine. What Jackson needs is water works? Sho already has a supply of “Gass works.” “Gaston” Guthrie was to have gone to Luella on Sunday last, but he “be came kicked” and never goed. These females are curious creatures anyhow. Wonder if the next grand jury will reeommead anew court house? This question hasn’t been sprung in such a long time that now its a fresh subject to joke on. Come quick! Bast chance to get goods at cost! Cohen is go ing to leave Jackson! • Wo didn’t kuow his name but there was a mau at one of the hotels Tuesday, who ate 8 biscuit and 5 dishes of beans at one sitting. He wasn’t very hungry either. P. S.—lt wasn’t Guthrie or Mo. The best remedy for children’s colds is Ayer's Cherry Pe<toi*aL Easy to take, sure to cure. Mr. L. B. Spencer, of Atlanta, is visit ing his family in Jackson a few days this week. Livie is a nice, clever fel low and we are always glad to have him with us. He is now in the grocery busi ness in Atlanta. Moxie Cohen, who has been over to Charleston, S. C., to attend his brother’s marriage, returned home on Monday morning. Moxie says that be had a good time, and never had to flag down any trains at 3 a. m. that never stop ped. Under the skillful supervision of Mr. J. T. Bryant, the Morrison House sample rooms are rapidly assuming shape, and nearing completion. Mr. Bryant is a workman of superior skill, and numer ous structures around Jackson bear evi dence of his fine workmanship. The name of Miss Lottie Pye, of Jas per county, was added to the roll of Jackson Institute Monday. This is as it should be, we have one among the best schools in the state, and Miss Lottie will never regret the course that she has taken. Hon. Marcus Beck, solicitor of the Flint otreuit, it is said, will be a candi date for the judgeship of that circuit. Colonel Beck was a candidate against Judge Hunt, who was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Boyn ton, but retired before the legislature met that elected Judge Hunt.—Atlanta Journal. “Sheriff Gwyu made a trip to Jack son last week and returned with a boy by the name of Henry Maddox, who had been captured by Sheriff Beauchamp in pursuance of instruc tions from the sheriff of Pike county. The negro has been indicted for a murderous assault made on Mr. W. T. Lyles, of this place, more than two yearn ago at a syrup mill. When Pike county’s sheriff gets squarely after a culprit he should make a motto of the words of Jefferson when he said, ‘Eternal vigilance is the price ol lib erty.’-”—Pike County Journal. The Chattenooga Medicine Company have won a trade-mark lawsuit in the U. *S. Circuit Court at Atlanta. An attempts was made to enjoin them from usingthe name “jfhedford” and “M. A. !Zhedford & C 0.,” on their liver medicine or Black- Draught. Judge Newman dismissed the -nit 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, thousands ®f dollars have been spent in advertising it, and it is known everywhere. The Chattenooga A/edicine C®., 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 IYIN-EOF CaRDUI and have a reputation for integrity and fair dealing, second to none. The following intelligence comes to us via the Griffin Call: There is an organized movement on amoug the negros of Spalding, Butte, BLe-’ry, Fayette, Pike and Monroe counties to torrn what they call a “Cit izens'Union, v for the purpose of es tablishing union stores to be opeiated by men of their own color in the coun ties named. Their organization is something after the order of the far mers* alliance movement and is likely to meet with the same results, unless their members stick close to the text, as is held forth iu their printed cousti 'ution and by-laws. The “joining fee” iu this union is to be $5.00; $2.50 cash down and the remainder in two months, while the monthly dues shall be decided upon by the board of di rectors. Each member shall pay his or tier part ot the rents, freights, Are insurance, lights, oils, scales, and oth er i ecessary materials. Any member failing to comply with these laws, without a lawful excuse, shall be ex pelled from the union, and forteit all liis or her claims upon the organiza tion. One of the specific promises of the constitution and by laws of this unionist “An? member may with draw from the union such lands or supplies as his or her emaciated needs may require, as long as they are finan cial members of the union.” L, K. Evans, a well known colored politici an, it president of the union, and oth ers of lesser note are filling the un important positions. SOME PLAIN FACTS AND FIGURES! ■ 8 Cars of Flour.

On Friday night last a citizens’ meet ing was held for tbs purpose of deter mining how the merchants of Jackson stand toward the recent ordinances adop ted by the city souncil of Jackson for the year 1894. It was first proposed to have the meeting take place ia the court house, but as no entrance could be gained to the court room, it was decided to hold the meeting at the Star Store, and accordingly the crowd, numbering some forty or fifty of Jackson’s business men, repaired thereto. The object of the meeting was briefly stated and sailed together by electing Captain A. G. Hitchins chairman, and W. G. Thompson, secretary. Section 19 of the code was read, which ordinance forbids a higher license than $25 to be imposed upon merchants doing business in the city. After a free discussion by those gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg 17 ggg 1 Car Meat, 1 Car Fait; lids. %ggIHF dmgfflk mB assembled, a motion was made by Dr. Mays to appoint a committee to wait upon the council and ascertain whether or not they would rescind the present or dinances and adopt those in force for the past year, whioli made the licenses more nominal, and bears less heavily upon the merchants. The chariman thereupon appointed Messrs. R. L. Daughtry, B.F. Moon, J. H. Carmichael, J.. W, Crum, R. W. Mays, and L. R. Cason, and upon a motion of Mr. Daughtry, the chairman, A. G. Hitcliins, was added to the com mittee. After a humorous talk by Dr. Mays, giving his experience as treasurer of our town, in the days of want and disaster, when there was no money to meet cur rent expenses, he was bodily fired into the position of treasurer of the oity of Jackson. The treasury had just been robbed of every cent on hand, and this was one instance, when the office sought the man. Everybody else was afraid to take it. As there was no other business before the meeting it was adjourned. NOTICE.

We call special attention lo our clubbing arrangemant with the great southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti tution, which enables us to offer both papers for the remarkably low sum of $1.25 a year. The first duty of every good citizen is to patroaize 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 of 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 paying 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 week, 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 as Bret Harte, Mark Twain,/ Joel Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunkett, Bill Arp, and a host of others, whose rep utations are world wide. Its women anil childi en’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 aie 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 offer at the remarkably low price above given. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS! All copy for new advertise nents. and copy for change of ads. must be in the office by Monday of each week, to assuie their appearance in the following issue. Tnis is positive, as we are always crowded with copy and must have ample time te get it up. Please bear this in mind and ave a few hard feelings.—[Er>s. Our offer to give the Weekly Constitu tion and the Argus one year for only $1 .25 will last but a few days longer, so new is the time to avail yourself of the °Ppoitunity
