If Evans and Atkinson are held re
sponsible for all (lie lies that are being
told about them in the different news
papers of Georgia, the devil may feel
safe in ordering a few extra tons of
coal.
It strikes us as very silly bosh, for
a man who has made a dismal failure
of keeping what money .he ha§
had given him, to be advising our
people as to the best policy to be pur
sued to secure financial relief for the
distressed. His talents are wasted.
Harry Hill has been tried, convicted
ami sentenced to seven years in the
penitentiary for forging Mrs. Porter’s
name to notes for money Thus ends
along seneational trial of an aristo
cratic criminal.
A western publisher on being asked
by a prosperous advertiser where his
paper circulated, replied: “My paper
goes to North and South America,
Canada, and the British Is'es, and it
was all lie could do to keep it from
going to h—l.”*
A Chicago man was married the oth
er day fo bride furnished him by a
matrimonial agency. A few hours after
the ceremony the happy groom
missed the bride. And in a tew mo
ments more ho missed his gold watch
some diamonds and a roll of money.
The victimized benedict is suing the
agency to recover the value of the
stolen goods.
The Savannah Press says: “Gov
ernor Noiihcn is the second chief ex
ecutive of Georgia to place himself in
command of the State troop* and lead
them agaiust the enemy. In 1825
Governor Troup put himself in the
saddle and marched at the head ot the
military against the Indians.”
An exchange truthfully remarks:
“ The young man who goes in debt for
tine clothes in orjler to keep up with
the fashionable crowd iu society is
committing suicide, and will at last
learn to his sorrow that he ;ias lost
both credit and name; and the society
which considered itself honored by his
membership will be the fust to kick
him out the back door.”
A tew days ago Mr. Cole Nall was
asked by a big farmer in this county
to go out and buy his cotton which he
had not sold for three yeras. Mr.
Nall went, out, weighed and classified
the cotton w hich amounted to $14,000.
Mr. Nall was about to write a check for
that amount when the farmer said he
would not accept anything but ssgold
pieces. Mr. Nall went to the bank
and got 2,800 $5 gold pieces, and car
ried them to him, whereupou the
farmer got out a jug and counted
them into it for burial purposes.—
Pike County Journal.
JACKSON MOVING ONWARD.
To an observing mind, the fact that
Jackson is tending onward is as plain as
the unclouded light of a noonday sun.
She is advancing first, numerically.
Her population is nearly or quite, four
times what it was ten years ago. The
writer first made it his home in the late
summer of ISB7, and made one of a pop
ulation of about 700 souls at that time.
She is moving np in the second place,
in character of society. The good peo
ple of ISS7 hay# become better and more
refined: into our midst has moved also,
a class of people of a higher grade of civ
ilization, and this very naturally has en
larged the scope of thought and bettered
us everyway. The citizens now as never
before, are a unit as to the growth and
prosperity of the town. It is true that
we have amongst us a few chronic grum
blers, but their influence is growing of
less importance, year by year, indeed,
it is becoming to them a potent faot,
that unless they fall in line with the
progressive spirit of the town, they will
p ass into unuotice and oblivion.
We feel confident now as we have al
ways expressed ourselves, that Jackson
will be the metropolis of this section of
Georgia. The geographical situation, as
we have said time and again, demands
it, and that natural dependence of man
upon man, and the neccessity of a com
bination of effort and influence for the
furtheranee of the interests of society,
present irresistible claims, that we build
up some eentral point for dispensing
these needs. Existing facts lead us to
believe that oar town is to be that point,
and if we are not mistaken in this, we
will not be long in ranking as on# of the
eoming cities of Georgia.
THE NATIONAL HEADLIGHT.
We have the first copy of the Head
light on our exchange table, which
super-ed the lamented Flovilla En
terprise, at Flovilla. In the saluta
tory Mr. S. Jack Smith does souiescn
-iDie talk, but Mi-. W. F. Smith sia'o
that his object is to kill the democrat
ic party so that he can build a street
railroad in Jackson, and another to
Cedar Rock - Mountain Rock. Great
scolt! this is news to ns. We never
knew befoiethat it required anything
hut money to build a road that was
already chartered. The “Upas tree
(interest) never hurts a man thatdou t
borrow money, and the way to out it
down is to quit borrowing money.
We tear that the shove roads will nev
er be built, if their success depends on
the death of the democratic party.
HOME.
When tvs think of how many mil
lions of homes there ar* in this coun
try, a id ‘hat < very one has a govern
ment of its own, controlled, in the
majority of i ases, hyloye, unexpressed
and inexpressible. we can hut stand
abashed and awe. stricken at the pow
er of the aggregate of these little gov
ernments in one. Who is capable of
managing such a mammoth concern?
They say a statesman can manage the
machine, hut let us tell you, if you was
where Clevland is, you would see that
you could not and: as well as he does.
So hush your everlasting growl, and
take care of your own affairs.
WHAT ARE WOMAN'S RIGHTS?
The following definition of “Woman’s
Rights’’ is the best we have yet seen.
We regret our ignorance of the author.
Her name should be known:
The right to wake when others sleep;
The right to watch, the right to weep;
The right to comfort in distress,
The right to sooth, the right to bless:
The right the widow’s heart to cheer,
The right to dry an orphan’s tear;
The right to feed and clothe the poor,
The right to teach them to endure;
The right when other friends have fiowD,
And left the sufferer all alone—
To kneel that dying couch beside,
And meekly point to Him who died:
The right a happy home to make.
In any clime for Jesus’ sake;
Rights such as these are all we crave,
Until our last—a quiet grave.
It it didn’t take any more guano to

ONE WAS ENOUGII.
“You love my daughter?'’ said the
old man.
“Love her!” he exclaimed, passion
ately. “why, I could die for he ! For
one soft glance from those sweet eyes,
I would hurl myself from yonder cliff
and perish, a bleeding, bruised mass,
upon the rocks two hundred feet be
low !”
The old m*n shook his head,
“I am something of a liar, myself,”
he said, “and one is enough for a small
family like mine.”
The Chattenooga Medicine Company
have won a trade-mark lawsuit in the U.
6. Circuit Court at Atlanta. An attempts
was made t© enjoin them from usiugthe
name “2hedford” and “M. A. 2kedford
& 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 more than fifty years and
is one of the standard medicines of the
country. 2housands ®f dollars have been
spent in advertising it, and it is known
everywhere. 21ie Chattenooga Me dicine
Ce., have au immense laboratory in Chat

lIE HAS A STRONG CASE.
A man came In the office recently
and said he wanted to announce his
name as a candidate for coroner and
informed us that he wotild rest his
case on the facts that he was poor and
the father ot three children, the oldest
est one not being knee high to a
stump and the youngest not louger
than a string. Besides he claimed be
was partly born and raised iu Butts
countv, and was actually bora with
out a dollar in his pocket.
Wouldn't it be a good idea for the road
commissioners to begin putting in prop- j
ar shape the public roads of our county? j
Our attention was called the other day
to a road leading out of Jackson, which l
is in very bad shape, and it appears
to us that the property adjacent
to a nice road is greatly enhanced in val
ue according to the conditions of public
roads surrounding such property. Butts
is on a progressive move, and it will not
do for her to fall behind in the matter of
such thing#. We have some of the best
road commissioners in the state and only
a word of notice is a sufficient guarantee
that some action will be made in this
matter.
Our offer to give the Weekly Con stitu

$1.25 will last but a few days longer, so
now is the tme to avail yourself of the

the Constitution, who has it in an
envelope in his desk. This envelope
will be opened on the first of March,

all kinds. It is the people’s cham
pion in their fight for impartial
justice in Itgislation to all classes.

without it. Remember it costs but
a trills a year, hardly the cost of a
postage stump a week, and *JI who
