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 raise cotton than it does to raise can didates Gecgia would soon he the richest state in the union. Remember that otir arrangements to club The Argu3 and Constitution for $1.25 is limited, and you should not miss this rare opportunity to get two papers for so small a pree. 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 tenooga, just at the foot of Lookout Moun tain. They have a branch house in St. Louis. This company also makes MC' ELREE'S WINE Ob’ CaRDUI and have a reputation for integrity and fair dealing, second to nor.e. 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 tion and the Aequs one year for only $1.25 will last but a few days longer, so now is the tme to avail yourself of the oppoitunity THE NEW ORDER OF SOCIAL conditions. Mi>s Ka'e McCarty, cook lady to a woman cu Fifth avenue, returned on Wednestlax to a visit to her old home in Hallysbanumi, Iceland. She was cordially received by the local nobil i<y and reports ha'ing had a big lime. Miss Annie B file O'Brien, second kithen Ldy fora woman on Fifty seventh street remained at home this summer, hut promises herself a trip to Europe ©airly next season. She will he accompanied by her sister, Judj O'Brien, who is a wash lady for an other person on the same street. Hunter —“Did you see a wolf and pack of dogs pass this way ?’’ Farmer —“That’s what ; and gee whiz, wasn’t they going, though!” Hunter — •‘That’s good, a.id how were they mak ing it?” Farmer—“ When they passed here the dog3 were a little ahead.” A young lady applying tor the situ ation as teacher for a village school, being questioned by the trustee as to her qualifications, replied: “I aint much of an arithmell’cker, hut am an elegant grammarist.” Hon. John Curfew, who has walked 6,000 miles and heat his way 12,000 miles, on cars loaded, it) part with coal and in part with liorsss and other animals, without change of clothes, shot and killed old man Jack Dobins, represeuialive of this county, because lie handed his breakfast out of the door instead of inviting him to the table.
