A short while since the farming of Dixon and Trueman waa regarded as something supernatural, but today thou sands of farmers, some of whom live in our county, are doing just as good farm ing as either ever did. We sympathize with'Col. J. H. Estell, of the Savannah Morning News, in the death of his good wife, which sad event occurred on Friday of last week.

The Superior cour* will now have its ltacdsfull in order to keep up with the business, as the county court was in ths habit of dispensing with a consider able QUTBmr of cases cf a minor nature, thus relieving tne Superior e >urt of the trouble and expense of spending it* time on a large docket.

The fairer sex don’t held all the curiosity in the world. Quitting advertising in dull times is like cutting a dam when water is low.” INTERVIEWED. We interviewed as many citizens of Jackson as werouid find with time to answer our question hi regard to their opinion ot the ordinances adopted by the i HiH -il f< i ibis year.

The Carmichael Cos. is going to have a hard time keeping Whitney and Ether idge as clerks in their store, for they have built up such a “rep” in dressing windows that some New York firm will be after their services, as soon as they see that window at the Carmichael Co's, store. As “window dressers” and gen eral all round clever chaps, we cheer fully recommend Messrs. A. F. Whit ney and Robt. X. Etheridge to the cit izens of our commonwealth. The Star Store continues to deal out provisions and plantation supplies to the farmers of this vicinity.. They have a large stock but the onslaught is fast decreasing it.

Dr. Blue Mountain Joe—Ed Huson— has a oorner on pills. He will sell you three white ones ad two blacks for five cents. Now is the time to pres cribe. Dr. Jarrell, of Peekville, gave us a pleasant call on Tuesday. The Doctor is one of the best citizens of that thriying burg, and Jackson always wel comes him. Hairs Vegetable Sicilian Hail* Re newer is, unquestionably, the best pre servalivative of the hair. It is also curative of dandruff, tetter, and all scalp affections.

If you see anything up-side down in tliisjssue, you must excuse it, as our Junior joined the Masons on Monday night last and the goat fixed him so as he is now compelled to de all of hit writing in a standing position for awhile. Whitney says that Bob Ether idge ‘sa\ r s that everybody else says that that last lot of neck wear is the very latest, and is the proper thing. See? The Carmichael Cos. Obe Hendrick came in on Tuesday morning of this week and sympathized with us. The same goat struck Obe and he can’t help fellin’ a kinder in clination to sympathize with a fellow. For all of which we are very thankful —but it came just a night too late. Some action should be taken by the citizens of Jackson as a safeguard against fires. Our people are too lax in this one particular, and an ounce of prevent ative is worth a car load of cure. So, before a disastrous lire happens along and consumes the entire community, we should get together and devise some means to prevent such an occurrence. Now is the time! The husband says the wife say si he son says his sister says those ginghams at The Carmi chael Co’s, are the loveliest de signs ever shown in Jackson. The F. M.
